FIRE BLIGHT

The recent reports that fire blight
had been found in Upper Valley pear
orchards has caused an unwarranted
alarm on the part of many apple grow
ers. Some orchardists, finding blight
or some ailment mistaken for blight,
affecting their trees. have summarily
destroyed the entire tree.
The discovery of blight should cause
no undue alarm, as we think the fruit
inspector and expert station represent
atives will tell orchardists. The alarm,
however. should be keen enough to
cause all fruit men to take extreme
care in watching their orchards. The
instant sou detect some unknown dis
ease or something that resembles fire
blight the fruit inspector or the exper-
iment station should be notified. Even
though an apple or pear tree is affect
ed with fire blight, the limbs bearing
the disease may be cut away and the
reamining portion saved. In case the
main trunk of the tree is affected, then
it should be cut down and burned at
once.
Some growers, it is said, learning
that bees carry blight from tree to tree
are worried over their apiaries. 1t is
undoubtedly true that bees carry the
disease. But their aid in the polleniza-
tion of orchards will more than mitigate
the damage that may be traced to the
insects in spreading blight.

BoxAppIe Situation

In the largest cities the apple in.
dustry of the Northwest has outgrown
the expensive private sales system of
distribution. Firms of large apple re.
ceiving jobbers are not able to find
outlets for the Northwest apples. Sew
eral hundred small jobbers now taboo
the box-apple of the Northwest because
they cannot buy at the daily public
sales where the other fruits of the
Pacific Coast shipped to the largest
cities are now sold.
Growers are Misinformed
Many Of the fruit growers of the
Northwest associate the great system
of public clearing houses in thir-
teen of the. largest cities of the eoun-
try with the auctions of secondhand
furniture and the like to be found in
all commodities of the United States.
There is great economy in selling
fruit directly to all the trade, as
shown by the selling charge of the
California Fruit Growers Exchange,
which is about PA per cent. The
California Fruit Growers Exchange
sells exclusively through the auction
in twelve markets.

What appeared to be columns of
black smoke rising from the snowy
sides of Mount Adams at a point just
east of the summit was a phenomenon
that aroused curiosity here last Thurs.
day. For several minutes the smoke
ascended from the mountain. Then it
suddenly stopped.
1t is not believed that the smoke
came from the mountain. The ascend
ing column, however, is thought un-
doubtedly to have been smoke, which
either arose from the forests to the
north of Adams or on this side of the
peak. For only a minute it acsended
in straight line and made visible be-
cause of contrast with the shimmering
expanse of snowfield. The column was
then probably blown away to the east,
mingling with the horizon formed of
blue sky and outline Of foothills.

SECOND BROOD WORMS
ARE LATE this YEAR

From present indications it will not
be necessary to spray for the second
brood of worms much before the 10th
or 18th Of August, says Leroy Childs.
eat the present time the worms are
not much more than half grown; in
some cases even smaller than this.
Normal development from egg to egg
requires about SO days: this means that
the summer crop Of eggs will not be
deposited sooner than 20 to rs days.
''ln spraying for codling moth il
must be remembered that spraying too
early is Just as bad az spraying too late
and only little better than not spray
ing at all. The appropriate time for
making the application will be pub
lished later"

The people of the Frankton school
district, comprising orchard territory
just west of town, will again send their
children of the high school grade to the
local high school. The Frankton peo-
Pile, who formerly conducted a high

dissatisfaction with the system, and an
effort was made to reestablish the
Frankton high school.
The vote in favor of the city school
was carried by narrow margin.

Hood River who can enjoy fishing at
any hour of the day or night. Across
Mr.. Johnsen's place on Cascade avenue
little stream runs. Several years
ago he placed several dozen tiny east
ern brook trout fry. The little fish
have now grown into IL inch, avaricicus
fellows.
Mr.. johnson amuses bis friends BY
allowing them to angle for the pets.
Several worms are secured. They are
then tied into the knotted end of
string attached to a rod. The trout
strike readily. They cannot be lifted
from the water, since no hook is used
in angling for them.

vailed in the little stream, MIR. johnson
lost several of his pets, which were
swept away over the screens on the
ditch.
