FRUITDALE GRAN NGE.

Saturday last was the regular day
for the meeting of the Fruitdale
Grange, and according to custom the
residents of that section met at noon
to eat their dinners unde.' the shade
of the trees at the school house. Also
according to custom, everybody and
the dog were there.
An incident that was pleasing to all
occurred during the dinner hour when
George A. Sanders, manager OF the
irrigation plant, drove up on his way
to the ditch, but he didu't get by. He
was stopped and without mncn hest
tation partook of dinner, anG after
the inner man was supplied he was
requested to step into the school
house and tell the Fruitdale people
about water. He told them that the
ditch was getting in shape to handle
water and that they had better get
ready, that he had not taken the
time to go and see each one to in
quire whether he wanted wat,r, for
he took 1t for granted that everyone
who planted stuff wanted water to
make it grow, and so ue was going
to give 1t to them with the least pos
sible delay.
After this there was discussion as
to what crops could be raised this
year for forage, and Il seemed to be
the consensus of opinion that it was
worth while to put in something to
stop the everlasting nay baullng
which is the bane of the Frultlale
farmer, and so very 5000 there will
appear quite few greca fields in
this district. Young trees and vine
yards will also be waterec
The people of Fruitdale were glad
that Mr.. Sanders happened along and
will be again glad whe'. the water
comes that way, for of course every
body will irrigate.

WASH THAT ITCH AWAY

1t is said that there are certain
springs in Europe that give relief
and cure to Eczema and other skin
diseases. If you knew that by wash
Ing in these waters you could be re-
lieved from that awful itch, wouldn't
you make every effort to take trip
to Europe at once. Would you not
be willing to spend your last cent to
find the cure?
But you need not leave home for
these distant springs. Relief is right
here in your own home town!
A simple wash of Oil of Winter
green, Thymol and other Ingredients
as compounded only in D. d. D.
Prescription will bring instant relief
to that terrible burning itch, and
leave the skin as smooth and healthy
as that Of child.
If you have not already tried 1t,
get at least I 25 cent bottle today.
We assure you of instant relief. M.

PROTEST AGAINST
IRRIGATION DISTRICT

A petition of protest was delivered
at the county clerks office Saturday
signed by 10 land owners against
the creation Of the proposed irriga-
ton district.
The signers are Hugo, Three Pines
and Merlin property owners.
The petition is addressed to the
county court, and is to be filed II ac-
tion is begun to create the district.
The petitioners do not want to be
taxed to support the proposed irriga-
tion district. They declare that II
they own so or 100 or lGJ or any
number of acres of land and want
water on any part of II that they Will
pay for just the number of acres un-
der irrigation, and protest at the tax
unde an irrigation district which
would tax all of their irrlgable land
regardless of whether 1t was under
cultivation or not. This, In a nut
shell, is the contention of the protest
ants.
These farmers are under the sur
vey Of the present irrigation works,
and doubtless intend to use that sys-
tenn when bitches open to their hold
ings.

MEDFORD NEEDS MONEY;
GOUGES THF VISITORS

They robbed them right--or I
should say right and left" was thu
way q business man of Grants Pass
today spoke of the celebration on the
Fourth at Medford.
AS Medford needed the money
Grants Pass sent to the 3ear creek
town number in excess of 500 per.
sons and it was estimated today by
conservative men that from $4,000 tn
$4,000 went from this city to stay
in Medford. But Medford needs the
money.
Il was forced to pay cents q
Ass for drinking water stated
county official Of Josephine county
today. 1T was an admission fee of
half dollar into the race grounds
half a dollar for a seat, and then
they wanted to hold the people up
for half dollar to witness other
stunts when once inside. 1t was
half dollar to get to the grounds
and half a dollar to get back and
half dollar for every side and turn
one went. Even the bootblacks got In.
o the graft and raised their prices"
Another resident of Grants Pass
today said that one of his acquain-
lances was charged $3.50 for a room
for a night and $3.50 more when he
paid his bill for not stating that he
wanted it another night. But Med
ford needs the money.
ut was disgusting graft all
around" said another visitor to the
Bear creek town. There was no
such thing as welcome for anybody.
1t was cutthroat affair from be-
ginning to end, and 1t Ia pity that
Grants Pass people did not have their
own celebration. I'll venture to say
this omission will not happen next
year."
There was so much complaint and
from such truthful sources regard
ing the treatment given all visitors to
Medford that to pass the matter over
would be a derelict of duty on the
part Of The Courier. But then Med

PRIz AcPE OF CORN.
Mr.. J. R. Smith Tells How He
Made Prize Yield on One
Acre. Cost of Work
is Very Small.

Land in very good state OF culti-
vation, was sowed in oats the year
before. After harvesting, sowed
peas in rows. Vines were left on
land, and turned under in fall about
eight inches. Next spring ran a
cutaway harrow over land, double
cutting. In March, broke land
about sixteen inches deep with two
horse plow and subsoil.
Ilaid off rows four feet with
small plow, and put acid and kainit
in furrow then ridged, put stream
on each side of ridge, and bedded
to that. This left small ridge.
Bursted ridge with shovel plow,
putting acid and kainit in water
furrow, and ridged on this with
small plow, amount of acid and
kainit used,, 500 pounds. The land
was now ready for planting Kind of
corn corn used was Garick's Pro-
life. Corn was planted about
eight inches in row, about first of
April.
When corn was eight inches high,
plowed with small sweep. In about
week / put in twelve hundred
pounds of good guano, in one mid
die. In about two days put eight
hundred pounds in other middle.
Ten days later, in irst middle,
put three hundred pounds of soda,
laying this BY, In week treated
other side the same.
/ had little more than an acre
and gathered one hundred and thir-
ty-fve bushels on the patch.
Cost of making corn preparing

ty-two cents per bushel.

Last week was certainly a good
week but we feel sure that this
week will be much greater as each
contestant will be sure to do her
best to win the five dollar gold
piece. Miss Addie Stephens won
the 5000 free votes offered to the
contestant sending in the largest
number of subscriptions sent in
from Feb. Is to Feb. 25th. Miss
Weinona Mathis was close second,
coming within ninety cents of Miss
Stephens. This was certainly a
close race. Several others came
very close to the top notch. Lets
all see if we can't make this the
banner week.
Each contestant should do her
best to win FIVE dollars as your
votes count also on the handsome
100000 piano. Every one should
keep constantly at work as it is al
ways easier to keep your place than
to catch up when you are behind.
However; those who are leading
had better watch, for you have
some competitors who are mighty
active and they will catch you if
you are not careful. Miss Lila De-
Laughter has taken new start and
is making remarkable progress.
Miss Mary Emma Byrd has gone to

as last week she will make some of
you take notice. Miss Martha Dorm

turn under all dead vegetable mat
ter possible, gradually deeper and
deeper until your soil will have
enough fertility and hold enough
moisture TO make good crops at
small cost, almost regardless of rea-
sons.
Get the best seed corn in your
neighborhood, that which does well
in other sections may utterly fail
when changed to yours. Select
heavy, solid, regular ears of medi-
um size, and slightly tapering 10,
ward silk ends, we'll filled out be-
tween the rows and at both ends
with grains long, full, thick and
free from weevils. Next fall select
this from small, well-shaped stalks
in field.
Do not pull fodder or cut tops if
you can possibly help, for either
will lessen the yield.
An acre of strong stiff land well
prepared and fertilized, after oats,
and planted in sorghum, or sor-
ghum and peas, will make more
forage than many acres of fodder at
much less cost.
We learn nothing by doing roth,
ing new; if you are not satisfied
with your present corn yield, try
an acre by this method, and follow
it closely and, even if it does not
suit you, it may teach you what
will.
