VERY LITTLE FRUIT

amount of culls and second rate fruit
that is allowed TO waste. absolutely.
1t is estimated that $3.50, 600 worth of
irult produced in commercial orchards
IN oregon was not marketed last wear
and If the family orchards are consid-
cred. $3.50, 900 can be added TO this
figure.
The total value of canned and dried
fruits in the United States in 1911 was
Sl34, 600, ,000 OF that amount 81 per

7. E. Koehler, an Oregon man, has
discovered process by which fruit can
be dried and only the water taken rout.
When placed back in the water and
allowed to soak, the fruit takes back
all its original flavor. Three factories
already have been built by the Ever

and Willamina, and the new process is
expected to revolutionize the fruit in
dustry of the state.

Petition Opposition Grows

Opposition to the petition that has
been circulated by the Higher Educa-
tion League of Oregon continually
grows. The press of the state, alomst
unanimously, deplores the fact that the
petition has been allowed to get head
way in few sections of the state.
Miss Emma Wold. a member of tn,
University of Oregon alumni, was here
last Thursday interviewing local bust
ness men and getting in touch with
local sentiment. 1t is felt that had
the local signers understood the effects
the petition will have, many of them
would never have signed the petition.
A. |. Mason. who was present at last
weeks meeting of Higher Education
League, declares that the special cleo
tiOn is thought by prominent Portland
attorneys to be illegal, and that an
effort will be made by members of the
League to hold up the appropriations
until the general election.

SPRAY MAY KILL
MANY WORKING BEES

w. w. Dakin, who has an apiary on
the Heights warns the growers to be
careful with their spraying while the
apple blossoms are fully open. If they
spray at this time they may kill thous-
ands of bees, and thus rid themselves
of some of their best friends. Many
growers in the district now have bees
to aid them in the pollenization of
their fruit, and Mr. Dakin's warning
will no doubt tend to prevent the death
of many of the Industrious insects.
Prof. Lawrence, county plant pathoo-
gist last year, advised the growers
that it would be well to have hive of
bees for every few acres.
Mr.. Dakin says that he has recently
received a notice from the government
which warns growers to be careful in
their spraying at the blossoming
period,

Grandmother

Dear Juniors: Once upon time in
the quiet little Dutch village Of Til
burg, there lived a little old lady and
her three grand children, two girls
and boy.
They were very happy in their home
which was surrounded by a hedge.
Karl called it Fairy Palaceland," and
his sisters agreed with him.
One evening in late autumn, Karl
escorted by his sisters, Katherine and
Flossie, went into the summer kitchen
He dropped his school books by the
door and taking crayon In his hand
began to draw on the door, a portrait
of his grandmother. Flossie sat down
behind him and watched with wide
open eyes.
While he was drawing, their grand
mother came in. She wondered what
he was drawing Katherine turned to-
ward her laughing. Grandma smiled
too as she saw what Karl was doing.
When he had finished she said, with
a pleased smile on her kind face, "You
did get to draw me after all, didn't
you, Karl?"

thought I would write
The beaver is ,unc in North Ameri-
ca. In winter five or six of them live
in E. house together as family. These
houses are made Of mud, stones and
sticks. They are round at the top.
The beaver stays in water great
deal Of the time His hind paws are
like a ducks. He paddles with them.
They cut dow trees with their
sharp teeth.
They float them down the stream TO
the place wanted. They are then sunk
to the bottom by stones. They add
trees till the dam is high enough to
suit. These trees and stones are
plastered together with mud.
The houses are built into the deep
water above the dam. The walls Of
the houses are thick
In winter the mud is frozen into a
solid mass, the beavers have a safe
refuge from all their enemies.
