Totals NJ. 90 ITO Il 1853

In an exhaustive report made for
the benefit of fruitgrowers, Mr. Ora
nam calls attention to the necessity OF
cleaning up orchards between now
and spring. He estimates the loss OF
fruit this year from worms, scale
and blight to be in the neighborhood
of 100 cars. This he attributes to
the unfavorable season for combating
different insects and disease. The
blight not only shortened the apple
crop, he says, but also killed many
trees so far as bearing for next year
is concerned. In order thaht there
may not be recurrence of the
blight, he suggests that owners of
apple and pear trees see that blight
and blight cankers are removed from
trees before March. The blight, he
works in the sap and is scattered
about by bees and other insects,
mostly during the blossoming period.
Mr.. Graham further says that many
small orchards are infected with San
Jose scale, especially in the Boise and
Payette valleys. These trees should
be thoroughly sprayed with lime-sul-
phur solution, he says, or its equiva-
lent, between now and March or II
will become necessary for the depart
ment to cut them down,
In his report Mr.. Graham says the
codling moth has been numerous this
season and he suggests that all culls
and dead fruit be removed from or
chards, as they afford ideal harbor-
ing places for the worms during the
winter months.

Injustice to Meridian |!
Big Fruit shipments But Some Cred
ID Is Diverted.

The report of State Horticultural
Inspector Graham in the fruit ship
ments the past season from various
southern Idaho points. as it was pub
lished in the Statesman, does Merid-
ian rather serious injustice The
report totals the shipments from this
point at "a cars of apples and 1875
cars OF prunes and conveys the idea
that these figures represent the en-
tire output OF the orchards tributary
to Mridian. Ate tn same time Boise
gets the credit for shipping GIL cars
OF apples and 800 cars OF prunes "a
statement that appears erroneous to
anyone acquainted with the compare
tive proximity of the large bearing
orchards in the valley TO the two
towns.
AS matter of fact 1t is known that
the shipments accredited to Meridian
are only those billed from here over
the Oregon Short Line and are es-
timated as less than half of the fruit
shipped from orchards actually trib-
utary to the town. This circumstance
is due to the refusal of the Interur-
ban company and the Oregon Short
Line to build spur connecting the
two lines here and over which cars
could be transferred from one to the
other. An attempt was made by in
terested shippers couple of years
ago to bring about the construction
of this short piece of track but the
efforts were unsuccessful, due chief
ly, 1t is said to the attitude Of the
Interurban company.
The result is that the fruit loaded
along the Interurban Is hauled to
Boise and rebilled over the Oregon
Short Line as shipped from that sta
ton. The largest prune and apple
orchards in the valley are tributary
to Meridian, but they are also close
to the Interurban road. Therefore
over half of the fruit crop of this
towns territory is hauled to Boise,
consigned to market there over the
Oregon Short Line and accredited to
that city's Importance as shipping
point. While the rates have not been
investigated. it would appear that
the lack of the desired spur track
here should be to the advantage of
both railroads as we'll as to the dis
advantage and injustice of Merid-
ian.
The report of the state horticul-
tural inspector follows:
State horticultural Inspector Ora
ham has compiled a report showing
the number of cars of fruit shipped
from 18 points in south Idaho for the
VAR 1Q1R nm m NoUan har 4 Tn q A.
dition to shipments made, there are
approximately 200 carloads held in
storage at the present time which will
be shipped at late date. This
amount does not include apples con-
|sumed by different by-products plants
nor those used by local markets.
These plants, located at Payette,
Nampa, Middleton, Parma, Boise and
Twin Falls, have consumed hundreds
of tons that were not suitable for

THE WOMEN OF WYOMING

While the eastern states have de-
MED the right OF suffrage to women,
the west has established the system
and the voting franchise will perhaps
forever remain as their prerogative,
The position Of the women OF Idaho
is so nearly parallel with that OF our
sister state Wyoming, that the fol
lowing tribute. written by Rev. j. A
Baird. OF Powell, Wyoming, father
OF the editor OF the Times, is given
herewith;
Wyoming Women.
One thing can be said to the ever
lasting credit of the early settlers OF
Wyoming. They stamped upon the
public sentiment Of the state prin-
ciple and they stamped it as with an
iron pen and lead in the rock forever.
That principle was the respect for
women such as was found nowhere
else in the world. This principle was
written In the constitution when the
state government was formed grant
ing women suffrage and equal politi-
cal rights to women. IL was the first
government in the world to grant
equal rights to women and will so
stand in history for all time. This
legal right was the formal expression
OF public, sentiment which had been
adopted and which was being crystal
lied as the stones OF the hills and the
mountains. 1t all came about large
~ in this way: The wives of the
ranchmen as rule, we're a superior
class of women commanding the love
and respect of thir husbands. This
respect was naturally soon stamped
upon the minds OF the sheepherders
and cowboys and became the unwrit-
ten law of the state. So thoroughly
was this law established as to make
IL positively dangerous for any man
10 treat ii otherwise than as sacred
II became the pride of every self-re.
speeding man in the state and to de.
fend the women in this exhalted posi-
ton was taken as the highest ideal oil
manhood. AS a result, the women
were and are as safe on the highways
on the train or anywhere else as In
the sacred precincts of the home
Under the protection of this senti
ment the society OF the state has
been forming and the homes have
been building Women suffrage with
us was never established by agita.
ton. but was, and is now accepted as
a matter of course. Anything less
than this right for women would be
considered violation of every sense
of propriety and return TO an Of.
fete and outgrown civilization. The
credit for this established public sen
timent should not be misplaced and
the women OF Wyoming should moi
overlook or fail TO appreciate the
dignity of their social position or this
glory of their inheritance. - A. b
