or starve. The children nave been
allowed TO grow up in ignorance and
vice, only to develop into another
crop of criminals. Laws for the pro-
lection of property have multiplied
while evils that tear down humanity
have been permitted to flourish. In
enfranchising the women it was to
be expected that their vote would
always be on the side of social jus
tice and protection. Now that the
franchise has been granted it remains
to be seen whether women will
evince greater interest in such en-
actments han men have done, and
whether they will, as a class, exer-
else their great new prerogative in
the interest of humanity. The wom-
en- of Oregon are on trial. Will they
show their earnestness by attending
the polls on every occasion and cast
their ballot in favor of clean govern
ment?

CRATER LAKE THE BEST CARD.

OF course the state exhibit at Ash
land is a neXcellent idea and we are
for it, but We still maintain that the
best bet for the Rogue River Valley
lies in Crater Lake.
If Jackson county had a hard-sur-
faced or a smooth-surfaced low-grade
boulevard to Crater Lake connecting
with the new Pacific Highway we
venture to say so per cent more peo-
pie would stop off in the valley in
1915.
Every district in the west will have
its alluring display at the depot and
there will be an indigestion of dis
plays at the exposition itself, but the
Rogue River Valley alone will have
Crater Lake. Medford cannot afford
to overlook this natural wonder
when a campaign to secure visitors
two years from now is considered. -
Medford Sun.
Ashland is with you, brother, on
the Crater Lake suggestion Crater
Lake is one or the wonders of the
world and the Rogue River Valley is
fortunate in having it in such close
proximity. 1t not only is southern
Oregon asset but one of the biggest
state of Oregon assets; in fact, it is
predominant as a world attraction in
Oregon. 1t should and will be de-
veioped as a national and state at
traction. Already the government
has begun development in the park.
The government and the state should
combine in an appropriation large
enough TO construct paved highway
on a six per cent grade from the
Rogue River Valley to Crater Lake.
The state has shown a narrow dispo-
sition in the past in dealing with
that marvellous attraction, but it was
because Oregon had not yet become
awakened to the broader view. II
properly exploited Crater Lake holds
the attractive power to bring more
than a hundred thousand sightseers
to the state each season that do not
now come. Every town in the state
would reap a benefit from that
Portland especially would have a
chance to entertain every one of
them, and it would be worth millions
of dollars to Portland Outside of
the direct benefit to be derived from
a state exhibit at Ashland the move
ment is worth millions to the state
in bringing its people to a broader
view of state development; in over
coming the local jealousies and mar
row prejudices that have prevailed
in the state in the past. 1t is a sure
token Of brighter day for Oregon.
She has the resources and scenic
beauty to make her far more attrac-
tive than our sister state on the
south. The question is, will we lay
aside our local spite and capitalize
our attractions wherever they exist
and go in earnest into their best de-
velopment? 1t is possible to get a
combined state and national appro-
priation large enough to construct an
attractive highway to the lake. Let's
get together and do it.

WHO CAN VOTE.

Owing to the recent ruling of the
attorney general on the new regis
tration law there is some misunder-
standing among voters as to registra-
ton. There is no registration need
ed for city elections under the char
ter and that none will be required is
the opinion of City Attorney Moore.
We give this word of admoniton to
the ladies': The ballot is a sacred
right. under our form of government
the greatest that can be bestowed on
mankind; the men have had it since
society began and ii has been WELD
ed by them with indifference; mostly
in the interest OF party rather than
for good government; and under this
lax use of the ballot the evolution of
government has been slow. Abuses
that should have been corrected CEN
turies ago still flourish. Laws pro-
tecting the home have been negligi-
BILE; dollar diplomacy has ever taken
precedence over moral right and So
clal justice. Men have been taken
away from their families by the state
and incarcerated for long terms
without the least care on the part
of the state for the innocent women
and children who are thus deprived
of the support of the husband and
father. They have been left to beg

long and an inch or more wide. That
when he finds a tree diseased with
blight he is to tie said flag to limb
of the diseased tree, so that the own
er can readily find it.
Tat the deputies are to teach the
owners how to cut out the diseased
parts of the tree, but is to do no
cutting himself excepting to illustrate
how to properly do it. That in the
event a tree is found so badly dis
eased that there would be a risk to
try to save it by cutting out the dis
eased parts the deputy will summarily
condemn it and tie two red flags to
the tree so condemned, and the own
er must at his expense cut down and
destroy the same within the time
limited by the inspector.
That all owners of orcahrds on re-
quest of the deputies will give him
a description of the land on which
his orchard stands, section, township
and range, together with fractional
subdivisions of the same.
Serve Notice on Agent.
That when an inspection of an or
chard is completed, and trees are
found diseased with blight, the in
spector or his deputy will serve
a notice of disinfection on the agent,
owner. or lessee of said orchard. Said
notice will contain the proper reme-
dies and ways to eradicate the blight
in the trees that are found diseased,
specifying the time in which the own
er must cut out and abate the same.
In the event any owner should ig-
more in any particular the details as
to the abatement of the blight found
in his orchard, or use anything for
sterilizing the tools in cutting out the
blight other than is mentioned in the
notice of disinfection, then it will be
the duty of the inspector or his depu-
ties to summarily condemn said dis
eased trees, declaring them a public
nuisance, and cut down and destroy
them.
Lien Upon Orchard.
That in the event they have to

summariiy condemn and destroy dis
eased trees in any orchard, whatever
expense he may be to for labor in
doing SO, the inspector will make out
bill for the same and request pay
ment for the same from the owner
OF the same. II payment is refused.
the inspector will send said bill to
me and will certify the same to the
court for payment as provided by
law, when said payment by the court
will become a lien on the land on
which the diseased orchard stands.
After this campaign which 1 pro-
pose to prosecute vigorously ends,
there will always be danger of blight
breaking out again.
Up to the Onwers.
1t will be up to the owners of the
orchards of Jackson county and all
other counties of the Third district
to be alert and personally inspect
their orchards for blight, and on the
first indication of twig blight to cut
| the same out, or else they are liable
to lose many trees.
There is not an owner of an or
chard in the Rogue River Valley but
can identify blight, and it will be up
to the owner to care for his interest
and investment in his orchard, for,
should / find single grower neglect
ing his own interest, thereby endan-
gering the property interest of his
| neighbor, l shall instruct and order
every inspector to carry an ak, sum-
marily condemn, and cut down and
destroy the trees found diseased with
blight germs.
The policy of blight eradication
have indicated above will be carried
out to the letter. The apple and
pear growers OF the beautiful Rogue
River Valley must not lose these val
liable groves that only are coming
into bearing and produced this year
million dollars. / am,

FIGHTING PEAR BLIGHT IN VALLEY
Continued from Page One.)

to meet this situation, to protect
those growers who have observed the
law, and to protect the fruit industry
as whole, the district horticultural
commissioner and the county court
have authorized nine additional in
spectors to serve for such time as the
conditions demand.
The matter of equipping and main
tanning a laboratory for the study
primarily of a remedy for blight by
the pathologist, as recommended by
the conference committee, is deemed
inexpedient, in view of the cost. the
efforts that we are assured by the
United States government are being
made by the Department of Agricul-
ture, and the work being done by
state experiment stations, to find a
remedy backed by the large resources
at their command.
Your committee is strongly of the
opinion that the situation permits of
no temporizing, and that the fruit
industry of this valley, especially
pear growing, can be preserved only
by willing cooperation of the grow
ers and a strict observance of the
law. We recommend your consulting
the public officials in seeking advice.
and your aiding them TO discharge
their duty efficiently.
A letter from the district horticu.-
tural commissioner is appended and
it is commended to your careful at
tention.
Your committee will continue in
force to meet future conditions. and
subject to your commands until such
time as its existence becomes unnec-
essary. In the meantime we solicit
your cordial assistance to our mutual
interest. Obediently,

Fruit Growers Blight Committee.
Medford, Ore, Nov. %, 1919.
Plans for the orchard cleanup
campaign inaugurated by the fruit
growers in cooperation with the
county court are outlined below bv
Horticultural Commissioner A. II.
Carson. In conformity with this
plan, nine additional inspectors have
been authorized to be appointed by
Chief Inspector Myers. Orchardists
ere expected to cooperate fully. III
spectors are not to cut out infected
trees, but if orders are not obeyed,
the orchard will be cut down and a
lien placed on the land to cover the
cost of work done. Mr.. Carson's
plan follows:
The following plan of action to
eradicate the blight in the valley,
feel sure, will be successful with the
loyal cooperation of all fruitgrowers
of the valley. This plan / am conf
dent is sustained legally in every de-
tail by the horticultural laws that

2 An advertising agent Of the spec
ial agricultural train recently oper-
atsd through this section or the state
unfortunately does not seem 70 place
q very high value upon newspaper
publicity.
Exception has been taken to a re-
cent editorial comment IN the Tele-
GRAIN that the special train was not
sufficiently advertised in this county
and Il has been disclosed that chief
reliance had been placed by the adj
Iettisers Of the train upon small
bundle Of posters sent TO stations
agents Ito be- distributed over the
town and surrounding country. Z
The station agent received two per-
sonar letters from the agricultural
extension department OF the state
university urging them to give as
much publicity as possible to the
train movement and to call up var
ffoGs people of the locality over the
telephone on the day preceding the
arrival ofgthe train" This. 1t 10
stated. had been found to be more
effective than newspaper adyertis-
ing
Imagine. for example, the busy
station agent at the clarksburs. or
Salem; passenger station, calling
various and sundry farmers over the
telephone the day preceding the arr
RIVAL Of an agricultural train. Some
persons have a peculiarly inadequate
conception OF the duties; OF. station
agents. especially Baltimore and
Ohio railroad station gents.
While the AGRICULTURAL extension
department. did send two notices To
newspapers ), one a month, in advance
"a most inappropriate time an 4
another perhaps two weeks in adj;
vance, all the newspapers, however,
did notsTeceive them as. for example,
complaint was made al salem that
the newspabsr there knew. nothing
whatever o. the movement OF the
train and 1t was upon that fact that
The, Telegram based its criticism.
The Advertisers of the agricultural
train should have sent press notlces
with schetlules, OF the train stops to
all newspapers in the territory COW
cred three or!fouF times during the
week Immediately preceding tins
tour. The, newspapers would glad
lyehaye given space to them without
charge In order to help the good
work along. 1t would not have hurt
tho Baltimore and OHIO railroad any
tozdo considerable display advertise
ih& in.sthe newspapers regarding the
special, train inasrnueh as II has been
praistng itself so much upon its phil.
antliropical and paternal co-opera-
ton in the movement.
AT any rate, let it be hoped that
when the next special Agricultural
train is operated through the state,
1t will ne more sensibly advertised
than by small bundles OF posters,
with winch people. as iuie. do not
bother anyway:
