condition to furnish efficient service. Where tho
of rural lines responsible for their upkeen
we want to cooperate with them.
All lines require thorough overeaulne occa

recommend that every line connected with us ~

experienced telephone man assist in this work. The
cost of this work when divided among all the patron.

Don't Be a Quitter
Is Advice to Grower
(From The Fruit-Grower, St. Joseph,
Missouri.)

Missouri)
"Hindsight is better than fore
sight" says an old proverb. And
how true it is. Usually, after an
event has taken place, we are able to
see how our own affairs could have
been improved If we had acted in
some other way. We plant an orch
ard and frost takes the fruit. Then
we realiez that If we had provided
orchard heaters the fruit would have
been saved and our profit increased.
But there is no use in crying over
spilled milk, Notwithstanding the fact
that a fellow sometimes can't help
doing so. And when fellow drops
all of his money in venture, no mat
ter whether 1t is fruit-growing, min
ing, merchandising or speculation, he
frequently feels like "cussing" the
whole world for his loss. Just read
this letter that comes from a western
subscriber:
"No, thanks; awfully. I don't
want your paper any more. II I had

and housed, so they would live long
time to enjoy it.
Talk about growing better fruit
bah! The more you grow the more
you lose, as none pay for the cost OF
production and transportation. When
one sees his lifetime savings 60 to
smash, one can't have a kindly feel
ing for people who make their living
by statements contrary to the real
facts. Old orchards are being
grubbed out over in the Rogue River
valley now, and the land put to other
sensible crops. You can't find fruit
man in Medford now that's got dol

ments close to Grants Pass in 1909.

They all died from gummosis. Moth
ing can stop it.
"Those letters of Louis Meyer in
the November and December issues
tell some noble truths. l am aston
ished at your fairness to print them,
but take away his Josh of restored
health, $4,000, and experience,
$4,000, and you find a deficit of $11,-
442. He could have got his health
by growing alfalfa, pigs and chickens
just as we'll, and which he finally had
to do, anyway"
This is a real letter, full of the
irony that comes with failure, and
the pity of it is, that it is true. 1t is
bitter in the extreme to lose the saw
ings of thirty-five years of toll, and
few indeed are the men who can suf-
fer such loss and smile. And the
unfortunate part of it all is that the
writer of this letter is not alone in
his losses, nor is he the only one who
will ever be taken in on the same
kind of proposition.
But if orchards are being cut down
and other crops planted, isin't it to
be believed that now is good time
to stick tight to your own orchard,
and to give it better care than ever?
Is anything worth while in this world
to be gained without a struggle? No
business of any magnitude has ever
been developed without having to
endure hardships that would break
the courage of any but man of iron,
and while bankruptcy has faced many
a man, those who come out on top
are the ones who stick to the fight
and never know when they are
whipped.
Many difficulties confront the or
chardists of the Pacific northwest,
and in the struggle for existence the
are certain to fall by
The wayside. But fruit will be grown |
in the northwest for all time to come,
and the men who stick through the
present struggle are the ones who
will reap the reward. The ones who
win are the ones who are putting
brains as we'll as Drawn into their
lights, and who are willing to suffer
he embarrassments of the present
or the rewards that are sure to come
f they but stick to the fight. What
would have been the condition of all
agriculture today if Cyrus Mccormick
lad given up his reaper because he
allied to find people falling over
themselves to buy the first one he
made? What would have been the

seven years may seem like a long
time to wait, but in that interval
there will be many orchardists in the
Pacific northwest who will reap a
fortune through the intelligent appli-
cation of modern business methods to
their chosen occupation. Don't be

POISON SPRAY FOR

Common spray chemical may be
used to great advantage on the trunks
Of trees at definite periods for borers.
When the trunk is kept well covered
with . thin film Of poison. the young
borer. soon after Matching. will eat of
this upon entering the bark. and his
first meal will end him at once. As the
period Of Matching extends over sew.
eral months, during which time the
bark on the trunks cracks from the

the application Of poison must be made
more frequently.
Before June l or as early thereafter
as possible. make a thorough search
Of all trees for borers. Apple-tree
borers are usually found above ground
and these are best destroyed by In.
jecting a few drops OF carbon bisul-
phate into their tunnels and plugging
them tight with soft clay or putty.
Remove the earth to the depth Of four
to six inches about peach trees and
cut out all borers possible with the
pruning knife.
After thus removing all borers that
can be found spray or paint the trunks
Of the trees with a mixture of eight
to ten pounds lead arsenate paste and
so gallons of dilute lime-sulphur solu.
