estate situation Is the interest
being shown in suburban prop /
erty. Although spring is the .
time when the city man usual
|ly turns his eyes toward the
country and has visions of a
small garden or poultry farm,
the present prices of food are
forcing the city man to find a
way he can obtain relief. He
has about come to the conclu-
sion that the only route open
is to become, in a measure, a
producer instead of con-
sumer.
The price of eggs suggests to
the city man that he purchase
a small tract of land accessi-
bic to city markets and engage
in raising high class poultry.
The enhanced price of eggs
causes the poultry industry to
loom up on the horizon with
an inviting plea.
And the man who pays fancy
prices for things in the vege-
table line longs for spring to
come, so that he may invest in
a few acres and produce sup
plies for his own table and to
sell in the city markets, while
he continues to hold his posi-
ton in the city
In a few weeks the holiday
season will arrive. Following
that period, only a few weeks
will elapse until spring beck
ons to vegetation to give forth
its luXuries. And the city
man, knowing that spring
comes quickly in Oklahoma,
now realizes that in three
months planting will be well
under way in Oklahoma.
Hence, the realty dealers of
this city may look forward to
a brisk business in suburban
property almost before winter
has passed. Indications point
to a mild stampede for acreage
property brought about by the
higher food prices which give
no sign of declining to a place
where there will be any bar
gain list
knowledge that the good
roads movement is sweeping
the state and will cause better
highways to connect every city
with its surrounding farming
territory lends force to the
campaign which is about to de-
velop in acreage for those who
wish to engage in farming
upon a small scale.
Substantial highways will
make it possible for the city
man of salary to live in the
country, add to his income, and
enable him to reach his place
of business with modern trans
!, portation that is commonly
known as the gasoline route.
\ The time is not far away
i when the farms along the main
thoroughfares of this county
will be converted into 5-acre
tracts to be operated by the
man who prefers to remove
from the city in the belief that
he can make more rapid fl
| nancial progress through gar
den and poultry methods
H which bring returns to
| strengthen the bank account.
/ The advent of the motor car
has been, of course, the factor
which is about to develop sub

BRATES ANNIVERSARY

Commodore o. c. Dean. who came
to Oregon from Ottumwa, la, Monday
celebrated his 18th anniversary as
owner of the Hood River.White Salmon
ferry system. In the I3 years that
Commodore Dean, who is born and
bred river man, having served an ap-
premiership as cabin boy on an Ohio
river steamer, has been here The feet
of the ferry system has developed from
row and sail boats to two large trim
gasoline launches and a gas driven
sternwheel ferry that will accommodate
eight automobiles at one trip. Commo.
dore Dean also owns the sea-going
motor boat, the Ollie S., recently
brought to Portland from the Newport
haibut banks.
Commodore Dean is native of Ohio.
He arrived in Portland from Ottumwa,
Ia, in 1894. and spent the time there
from that date until his arrival here to
take over the ferry system in 1908.
Commodore Dean is known in Ma.
sonic circles throughout the state. he
is member of all local Masonic bod
les, from Blue Lodge TO Commandery
of Knights Templar. and is member
of AL Kader Temple of the Mystic

Barss Visits Station

Prof. H. p. Barss of the State Elk.
pertinent Station paid the local sta.
tion visit this week and, with Leroy
Childs, inspected local orchards. He
said.
Il am very much gratified at the
manner in which the Hood River
growers are taking hold of the spray
ing work this year. Weather condi-
tions appear to have been unusually
favorable for a serious infestation of
apple fungus, consequently the spray
ing will be more valuable than ever.
1t Is important that after making
such an excellent beginning the
spraying be continued as recommend
ed by the experiment station. Other
wise, serious consequences might re.
suit fromi periods favorable to infec-
tion from now on. Those who have
not applied the 10-days spray should
go to work at once as this is critic
al time.
"A considerable amount of winter
injury was noticed In passing around
through the valley but it is believed
that in general the damage is no
more severe than In the Willamette
Valley and Southern Oregon sections,
where young orchards and older
ones as well suffered tremendous
damage as a result of severe winter
conditions, together with the ex-
tremely dry summer which preceded.
Everything should be done to supply
the affected trees through the CON-
ing summer with an adequate
amount of moisture. A great many
of these trees which apparently are
seriously affected are likely to re-
cover, il given proper care and atten-
ton, although many Of them have
suffered too severely for this and will
doubtless die.
II am we'll satisfied with the re-
suits which are being secured from
the experiments now being condnct-
ed by Mr.. Childs and am particularly
interested in the valuable informa-
tion which his experiments on the dis
charge of apple scab spores are bring
ing"

fruit importers of London, England, is
advised by,his company that they ex.
pect to Operate this year Under a IL
cense issued by the British government
to English importing houses only.
Fruit not coming in under license will
be excluded. which will operate as a
partial embargo upon imports. The
quantity each importer will be permit
ted to bring in will be based upon the
amount of tonnage he imported last
year. Dan Wuille & Co. being the
leading apple importers Of England and
having received heavy tonnage Of the
fruit last year, are in position to
command the market and they assure
Mr.. Woolpert they can receive all the
apples he secures for them from grow
ers, without any limitations whatever.

Larger postal savings deposits will
now be- accepted at the postoffice. This
is made possible by an important
amendment to the postal savings act
just approved by President Wilson. A
postal savings depositor may now have
an account amounting to 81, 900 upon
which interest will be paid. Formerly
$500 was the maximum amount he could
have to his credit. This enlargement Of
postal savings will be very gratifying
to thousands of dspositors who have
already reached the old $500 limit and
are anxious to entrust more of their
savings to Uncle Sam. Another fea-
ture Of the amendment that will avoid
further embarassent to the public and
to postal officials 10 the doing away
with the limit on the amount that could
be accented from deposition monthly.
Under the old Law only 500 could be
deposited in q calendar month. The
amendment abolishes this restriction.
While the postal savings system has
already proven signal success, a. is
shown BY the fact that more than half
a million depositors have over eighty
million dollars standing to their credit,
still IL has fallen, short OF meeting the
full demands of the public because Of
the restrictions which have now been
eliminated.

Shall the official flower of the state
OF Washington be the apple blossom?
Wenatchee may have an opportunity to
use its influence to this end. The Com.
mercial club of that city has received a
communication from the Spokane
Chamber of Commerce-suc as is be-
ing sent to every Commercial club or
ganization in the state-asking assist
ance and support in the movement to
have the apple blossom, for which the
state is famous, be named the official
flower.
Contrary to the general belief, Wash.
ington has 10 official flower. Spokane
has found. About 10 years ago, the
school children voted informally on a
flower and the rhododendron was se-
lected, but the vote was mostly repre-.
sentative of the schools on the coast
where this flower grows. Spokane
wants the apple blossom named the
state flower by statute.

In the opinion of Medford fruit men
the year 1916 will mark the final dem.
onstration of the necessity 0ftcrude oil
smudging in the growing of fine fruit
and apples in southern Oregon.
At the beginning of the year there
was q distinct movement against
smudging chiefly because of the annoy
snce involved and the damage to trees
from overfowing pots. In fact an in
junction against smudging was OBJ
tanned by one group of orchards shortly
before the May freeze swept down on
the valley.
All this anti.smudge agitation is
ended now. in the opinion of growers,
for from May 8 to May Ia smrdging in
Rogue River valley orchards was
worth at least $500, 900.
Those orchardists who smudeed, and
fortunately a large, proportion of them
did, lost practically nothing from the
low temperature. while except on the
high hillsides those who did not smudee
were wiped out. While the loss has
been serious it is certain, according to
experts who have examined the orch
ards, that the first reports we're great
