MORE CULTIVATION
OF ORCHARD NEEDED
Farmers Awakening to Fact That
Old Habits of Neglect Are
Not Profitable.

Most farmers who have the home
orchard of 80 or 100 trees on their
farm seem to regard this portion of
their equipment as source of per-
petual income, needing no care or at
tention other than harvesting the
fruit. They have awakened to the
fact during the last few years that
the old methods of neglect, as prac-
ticed by their fathers, will no longer
bring results. Their orchards have
ceased TO bear marketable fruit and
have become a public nuisance in that
they are a breeding place for myriads
of insect pests and fungous diseases.
Does it not seem incongruous when
the commercial fruit grower must dc
ever, .A.ng X. own to horiiculturists in
order to bring good fruit. that the
farmer should expect even partial sue
cess from a system of II glect? Aside
from thorough spraying. there is nc
one operation that will do more &c
provide good fruit than cultivation.

KEEP GARDEN PATCH

Rake Up and Burn the Old Stalks,

Prevent Diseases.

In the control and prevention OF

den is important There is "A number
of our fungous diseases which rest
over the winter on or in decayed
stalks, leaves or fruit. The resting
stage of the fungus. says a Colorado
bulletin, is resistant in winter con-
ditions. Among such diseases which
rest over in the above manner are;

METHODS OF FRUIT
PACKING IMPORTANT
Too Many Farmers Kill Their
Trade by Giving Their Gus
toners Inferior Product.

TRANSFORMATION facilities and the in
creasing demand for fruit OF all kinds
has made the consideration OF meth
DDS OF packing fruit important.
The fruit that brings the top price
is first class fruit that reaches the mar
ket in as good condition as II eaves
the orchard and packed in neat and
attractive manner.
All fruit shipped should grade up to
certain standard. First grades
should be the best you have to SELL
OF uniform size and quality; second
grade is usually what is left, although
i'm some instances and in some sea-
sons two grades are made. the third
being the culls.
In all cases exclude bruised fruit.

iuries. To overcome possible faults
rigid inspection should be made by
some one who is responsible for the
packing of the entire crop harvested.
The more local the market the more
exacting that market is and details
must be looked after with care. Ihe
keynote is to cater to the taste OF
your customers. 1t will pay in all
lines in marketing farm products.
In no case should packing OF apples

In Reval. the remaining Russian
naval station upon the Baltic sea the
Gar possesses strong. convenient
war harbor doubly protected by its
deeply indented by and by It's position
upon the narrows Of the Gulf Of Fin
land, says study in the geography Of
Europe's great war recently prepared
by the National Geographical Society
at Washington.
The development Of Reyal as a great
naval base is a matter Of recent years.
Reval has always been more or less
fortified, but It's present formidable
works date from the decision Of the
Russian admiralty that Lbau was too
near the German borders to be de-
pendable as the first naval base Of
the empire upon the Baltic IAbau
was to be maintained as an important
base; its defenses were made as strong
as possible; its shipyards and military
factories were built up; but Revau. Sc

the Gulf of Finland. The seaport Is
about 230 miles west-southwest OF
Petrograd. with which city it is con-
nected by a well-built trunk line rail-
way BY night express Reval Is eleven
hours from Petrograd and eighteen
hours by water. Thus. relnforcements
and supplies could be quickly thrown
into this important base in case Of
need. Riga lies nearly 200 miles due
south of Reval Both coasts along the
Gulf Of Finland are irregular and the
narrows are well adapted to defensive
purposes.
Reval has been important, both as
a commercial and as a fortified har-
Dor. ever since Western civilization
penetrated to 1t and to the hinterland.
II did an annual aggregate trade be-
fore the outbreak of hostilities of well
over s30000000, thus taking the po'
sition Of third rank among the Baltic
ports of Russia. 1t manufactures
some machinery and considerable beer
and adds to the balance sheet of its
profits by regular influx Of sum-
mer bathers.
It's population before the war was
about 10000, of whom more than half
were Esthonians and nearly 30 per
cent Germans. since the loss of Id

two cents a bushel under the
rale rate. 1t is disappointing
because there are reasons for
believing boats should be able
to handle wheat to Portland for
three or four cents a bushel
whereas something over six
cents is now asked.
The river rate on wheat has
a vital bearing on the subject
of road building to the river.
All the inland empire sections
have been urged to build such
roads. Walla Walla has plan
ned to do so. Umatilla county
people have gotten such a move
going in a tentative way. That
move will be carried through
to success if the goal can be
shown to be worthy of the ex-
pense.
But it is scarcely worth while
to build a hard surface road to
the Columbia to secure a two
cents a bushel reduction in the
wheat rate. Unless the river
rate is lowered it will be diff
cult if not impossible to vote
road bonds in Umatilla county,
The East Oregonian is eager
for a road to the river so as to
connect with the steamer lines,
providing such a road will
make money for the people of
this county. But this paper is
not going to be strongly inter-
ested in the subject unless there
is some certainty of river rates
such as will reward our people
for their enterprise and ex-
pense. The people want results
for their money.
Let the Portland and Astoria
folk get busy with the steamer
line and see that the rates are
properly reduced and the bus
mess will be forthcoming.

about the last note is that while
it is strong it is marked by mod
Grafton and sanity. There is
nothing offensive or bellicose
about it. 1t paves the way for
peace, not war, yet nothing is
sacrificed. This game from the
American standpoint is to up
hold our rights and have them
respected and yet not be fore
ed into the bloody cockpit. Re-
memhering that as the goal, it
is difficult to see how our ad-
ministration could have played
its hand in better manner.

If the controversy with Gel
many is not satisfactorily ad
justed it will not be because ou
side of the discussion has bee
handled without skill. The las
note is a marvel of logic an
clear reasoning from whic
there can be no just appeal.
A very striking passage i
the note deals with the Germa
intimation about Great Brit
aims behavior:
The government of the
United States is, however,
keenly disappointed to
find that the imperial Ger
man government regards
itself as in large degree
exempt from the obliga-
ton to observe these prin-
ciples, even where neutral
vessels are concerned, by
what it believes the policy
and practice of the gov
eminent of Great Britain
to be in the present war
with regard to neutral
commerce. The imperial
German government will
readily understand that
the government of the
United States cannot dis
cuss the policy of the gov
ernment of Great Britain
with regard to neutral
trade except with that
government itself, and
that it must regard the
conduct of other belliger-
ent governments as ire
leyant to any discussion
with the imperial German
government of what this
government regards as
grave and unjustifiable
violations of the rights of
American citizens by Ger
man naval commanders.
In the foregoing Germany
politely informed this countr.
will discuss its British differ
ences with Great Britain. Tn
fact our attitude towards Eng
land will be equally firm AM
positive is shown in the para
graph dealing with the free
dom of the seas. The note say.
in this connection:
The government of the
United States will continue
to contend for that free
dom from whatever quar-
ter violated, without com
promise and at whatever
cost.
