SPRAY FOR COOLING MOTH.

Prepare TO spray again for cod
ling moth, as soon as the weather
will permit. l find We are going to
have a lot of wormy fruit in the
valley, owing to negligence in spray
ing with arsenate of lead. The fruit
crop is comparatively light this year.
and the wise grower will do we'll to
take no chance in keeping his fruit
clean. Use twe pounds of lead to
so gallons of water, apply thorough
ly.
A number of growers have asked
concerning a snail like beast that is
attacking the young pear trees. This
is the pear slug, and the remedy is
to spray the trees with arsenate of
lead, same strength as for codling
moth. Patrol your orchard careful
ly now after this damp weather, for
indications OF blight, as II spreads
more rapidly in wet weather.

berry. hundreds of acres are being
planted TO that hybrid fruit that has
taken place commercially that is
Of growing Importance. The demand
for the berry canned or evaporated
is much in excess OF the present sup
ply, and there seems no limit to the
extending OF the demand. 1t has
been said that the Rogue valley was
a natural home for the loganberry,
but no attempt had been made to go
into the culture on an extensive scale.
There is expert testimony now, how
ever, that the Rogue loganberry is
the best in the west, C. $. White, the
man in charge OF the local cannery,
who came here from the greatest
berry district of the west, pronounc-
ing II the best he has ever seen. Not
only In quality and appearance does
Mr.. White commend the Rogue logan
berry. but the growth of the vine
and the profusion OF the crop which
1t bears, brought from him words Of
praise. In other districts where the
berry is grown commercially, 1t re-
turns as high as s400 per acre, and
is fast supplanting other crops. With
the cannery in operation here to as
sure the market, there should be
hundreds OF acres planted this sea-
son, for II can become one OF the
staple crops OF the valley. II will
have an advantage over the berry OF
other districts in that the soil and
the sunshine will put the sugar and
the flavor in 1t, the Rogue quality
being an asset in every fruit and
vegetable that grows here. Plant
loganberries.

DEFECTS IN DISTRIBUTION.

Two months ago / called attention
to the fact that cabbages were not
salable at wholesale in New York at
$3.50 a hundred and were being fed
to pigs, while the retail price was 10
to 20 cents each. Yesterdays dis
patches from Chicago stated that po-
tatoes were sold in that market at Is
cents per bushel while they were be-
ing sold at retail at 10 and 20 cents
per peck. Last years potato crop
was the greatest in our history.
Representative Helgesen, of South
Dakota, stated that the farmers in
his district would be glad to raise
potatoes at % cents a bushel, year
in and year out.
1t is strange that this matter of
distribution is not being taken up in
a businesslike way. The United
Fruit Company, by its organized sales
department, distributes bananas from
Jamaica and Central America so cap
ably that they are sold in the remot-
est crossroads stores at three for 5
cents, and no corner" or fictitious
advance in price is ever permitted
Who will start the potato sales
company, selling potatoes in cleese-
cloth bags holding a peck or half
bushel at a fair profit, say 25 per
cent? The whole system of the dis
tribution OF our food supply is dis
creditable to the intelligence nf the
American people. Where is the
Housewives League?-Joseph n
Holmes in New York Times.

post packages, special delivery let
ters or will pay for the registration
OF letters, such an order having been
made by Postmaster Burleson, TO be-
come effective July 1st.
For the purpose of simplifying the
postal service and making it easier
for everyone TO transact busineN
with the postoffice department is the
reason given for establishing one
stamp system. An ordinary postage
stamp can now be used for special
delivery. registered mail or parcel
post and the parcel post stamps, so
long as they last, are good on letters
or other mail matter.
For six months the federal govern
ment has been trying out the parcel
post and figuring up the sale of the
specially made stamps to determine
whether the institution is a success
or not So well has the parcel post
justified the action of the depart
ment that the stamps, by which the
amount Of receipts. were checked
we're eliminated. With the idea OF
doing away with the confusing num-
Der of stamps came that OF cutting
out all the other varieties and let
ting the simple postage stamp beaI
the entire burden.
This order is one of the most far
reaching that has been issued from
the postoffice department for some
time. It means that the manufac
ture of parcel post, special delivery
registered mail and every other kinC
and variety except the simple post
age will be discontinued. These spec
ial stamps will be sold until tn
supply runs out.

through the operation of one OF
which the timber owners, and many
who do not consider themselves
timber owners, will save themselves
thousands OF dollars if they prompt
ly organize themselves into a fire
patrol association. The attention Of
the Courier has been called to this
measure by NJ. J. Anderson.
There are approximately 1000
claims in Josephine county that come
under the terms of this. act. Every
claim is taxable at a maximum OF D
cents per acre for fire patrol, and the
tax is collected by the sheriff with
the other taxes. Other counties OF
the state are taking advantage OF the
privilege of organizing patrol as
ISOLATION, and furnishing protection
satisfactory to the state board OF
forestry for a sum ranging from l
cent to one and one-half cents per
acre, and it appears that a saving OF
$40, 900 to $4,000 to the taxpayers
of Josephine county would justify
the owners Of timber and brush lands
who live convenient to the city in or
ganizing, and inducing others more
distant to join by correspondence.
Next year when the tax collector
takes his inning you will possibly
have more time to regret not giving
this matter your attention.
An effort will be made to organize
such a patrol association here on
Thursday afternoon at three o'clock,
at the Commercial club rooms, and
all interested should attend.
Under the provisions Of this law
persons living within one and one.
half miles of their land are not sub.
iect to this tax.

There is no city in southern Ore
gon that is doing as much to help
itself as is Grants Pass today. And
the effort is bringing results All
within the space of a few months the
city has promoted and financed a
cannery that has become going
concern; she has promoted and fin
anced a creamery that before another
week rolls round will assume the pro-
portions of handsome and amply
commodious butter factory. and she
has put a railroad on the map and
