GROWING OF TOMATOES
EXPLAINED BY EXPERT.

Tomato growers in a great many
districts this season are complaining
of the dropping OF the blossoms and
small fruit, occasioned largely
through the cool rainy season. In
many parts of the state this has ma
terially shortened the tomato crop in
nearly all seasons but usually does
not cause complaint in the Rogue val
ley Il is found here to some extent
this spring however, and the follow
ing on the subject by Prof. Bouquet,
OF the State Agricultural college,
will be read and followed with inter
est.
Artificial aid in pollenation Of the
blossoms Is oftec necessary. the poor
setting Of fruits being nothing more
or less than a hon-fertilization of the
female organs of the flower. If this
organ is not properly pollenated, the
flower will fall breaking off at the
first Joint below.
Tomato blossoms remain open
several days, and the gardener may
aid pollenation greatly. On bright
days the pollen will scatter readily
IL the vine Is shaken or tapped with
stick or lead pencil A high tenn
perature, often between ten and two
o'clock, causes pollen to scatter
much more freely, and be caught by

Summers, backed up almost fault
lessly, allowed only five scattered
hits, walked one and famed three
Christians. He fielded his position
finely, and by his quick thinking in

futile, and pegging to third, catch
ing R. Bratton as he slid into Harter,
stopped one Of those rallies for
which the Christians are famous.
Honey threw perfectly to bases, and,
assisted by higgins at second, who is
not afraid to tag a baserunner,
caught four Christians in attempted
pilferings Of the keystone station.
R. Bratton pitched a good game
with the exception of the fourth in
ming, when the slippery ball lost him
control and three hits, three passes
and dropped fly netted the Petro-
bruscans four runs,
Master Pettinger received a big
round of applause when, with the
bases full in the fourth, the little
fellows we'll placed single to right

The Christians never lost hope nor
confidence, and played desperately

WOMAN PASSES
TO HER LONG REST.

Mrs. Margaret Adams, pioneer Of
Southern Oregon, who died on the
18th of this month at Adams station,
IN Del Norte county, after a short i'll
ness, was in many respects an ex-
emplary woman. The deceased was
born in the county Donegal, in ire
land, and was 72 years old at the
time of her death. She cana from
New York 10 Waldo Oregon in
1850. Her husband, the late Ricn-
ard Adams, followed the occupation
of miner at that date at the latter
place. At that time when the coun-
try was newly settled, and when
there was in many places a disorderly
state of society and evils and tempta-
tions beset the path Of men and wo-
men, she was ever above reproach
and passed through the rough sur
roundings Of those times without a
single stain on her character. She
was a woman who did not air her
troubles by telling them to everyone
but bore her Affections and sufferings
with a bright smile while her heart
was aching.
Death had made sad inroads In her
family. She was the mother of nine
children, six boys and three girls
Four Of her boys died after being
raised by her to the years of man
hood, and she also lost her husband
who was killed by accident. She
never harmed nor spoke Ill OF her
not even those whom she
had occasion TO dislike She lived
her allotted three score and ten and
the greater number OF those years
we're spent in a life of faithful work
and honesty and virtue The re-
mains were conveyed over the noun
tains from the coast and inferred in
the Catholic cemetery at Allen Gulch,
near Waldo, beside her husband and
one son. WILLIAM MACKAY.

CONSTABLE M0Ck NEAR
BAIT FOR SALMON

Grants Pass came near losing its
good looking, portly constable and
one Of its small boys Sunday because
Of the gaminess of Rogue river fish
and the cold, swift waters of South,
ern Oregons noted fishing stream.
The day being warm and showery
the fishermen were out In force and
among them were Constable Mock as
also the small boy The small boy,
eager TO make a good catch where
with to exchange for the silver car
ried by the fishermen who are long
on fancy tackle but usually woefully
short on fish, got himself out on a
rock in the swift water. No sooner
had he cast his pinhook and twine
line than a big salmon gathered in
bait and hook and then made a dash
for a trip up the river The boys
hands clung TO the hazel bush pole
but his feet could not cling to slip
perry rock and head first he went into
the river. Being a boy he did not
drown but padded ashore and then
ruefully watched his pole in tow OF
the fish disappear around a bend in
the river.
The excitement of this incident
had no sooner allayed among the
fishermen who lined the rivers bank
than Constable Mock took a header
for the water, and great was the
splash thereof Mr.. Mock is a de-
voted follower of Isaac Walton and
is early and often at the river in the
enjoyment of his favorite pastime.
And being wise in the science of
fishing he does not make hard work
and discomfort of hooking the
gamey Rogue river salmon and
trout, that Is when the fish are well
behaved and not given to boisterous
conduct. As is his custom. he fixed
a plank to extend out over the water
and on II placed box on which he
could sit in comfort while fishing
Lighting his pipe, or rather refilling
It, for 1t never is out, he seated him
self for a days solid comfort and
big catch OF fish. But the best laid
plans, even of fishermen meet the
failure common to less fortunate
and that was the case with
our handsome constable, for, Just as
he had two or three most encourag-
Ing bites a big yank came on his line
and It came with such suddenness
and force as to Jerk him headlong
into the river, the box falling on top
OF him. Losing his fine pole and line
and the biggest fish that he ever
hooked in the IL years that he has
flshed in Rogue river, Mr.. Mock
scrambled to his feet In the shallow,
swift running water and started FOR
the shore Then the fun began for he
onlookers, but strenuous times for
Grants Pass minion of the law for
the boulders were so slippery and |
the water rushed by with such force
that two times did Mr. Mock take a
plunge beneath the cold, clear waters
Of Rogue river before he could reach |
the shore. Drenched to the skin and .
water from his mouth Ike a
spouting whale, our fisherman reach
ed the bank but his pole, line and
box were gone though later the pole
and line were recovered down the
river the fish having gotten loose
from the hook.
