SOIL NEEDS BLASTING
and DRAINAGE
From the Mosier Bulletin

Prof. W. s. Brown. field expert Of
the Oregon Agricultural College. who
was in Mosier yesterday. on bis tour
over the state giving advice to or
chardists, states that while orchards
here are found to be In healthy con-
dition, comparatively free from fungus
prowths and harmful insects, there are
two problem which concern the grow
ers, namely, the compact condition Of
the soil in some places. which causes
winter kill and which may be remedied
by blasting and drainage. The same
condition exists, he states. at The
Dalles and Hood River. In the few
orchards that he found time to visit
he maintained that he found very little
codling moth or insect injury and very
few infections from scab. A very
small amount of aphis was noted on
the cherry trees and little spray burn
on some Of the apples was observed.
"The main injury to orchards is win
ter kill" says Prof. Brown. "This
is caused by low temperature follow
ing warm weather last winter which
resulted in killing the cambrium layer,
the soft tissue between the back and
the wood. If the cambrium layer is
completely killed, il destroys the top
of the tree because no sap can flow up
there. Most of these trees have roots
that are alive. Many are sending out
shoots from below or where the tops
have been killed. And where there
are shoots coming out from the base
these shoots can be selected for new
top, as they generally have a big root
under them.
"a peculiar soil condition here CON-
plicates the situation" he continued.
''Where the soil is very closely com.
pacted almost like cement in places,
very hard and impervious to the roots,
not letting the roots get the supply Of
moisture and plant food necessary.
such soil ought to be loosened up by
small charges Of dynamite shot off be.
tween the tree at depths of from two
to three feet during the latter part Of
the summer when the ground Is dry
and will shatter well.
"Tile drainage will undoubtedly be ol
great benefit to these soils, especially
where there is seepage from the hills
above. Wherever it has been possible
to get water for irrigation it has beer
found that this die-back condition has
been materially helped.
"In the tops of some of the yount
trees | find that the foliage is very
dense. Summer pruning is necessar!
on some of these trees to allow more
light to strike in, as well as to permit
the trees to develop properly and fur
nish the buds for next years crop
This should be done between now ant
September l."
Prof. Brown stated that as far al
he knows Mosier is the only distric
where there is such cooperation ant
honest endeavor, and that the Mosie
Fruit Growers Association is the onl.
growers organization in which on
hundred per cent of the growers of tn,
district are enrolled. "This is certain
ly wonderful district and still great
er results will accrue to it, conclude'
Prof. Brown.

Nevada R. k. Commission Seeks
Rehearing On Reno Rate Case

Up to the 29th day OF January,
1915, the Railroad commission OF
Nevada had secured practically 80
per cent of the relief which was
sought at the hands OF the Inter
state Commerce commission in what
is known as the Reno case"
Beginning October 6, 1914, hear
ing was held in Chicago. before Ex-
amner Thurtel upon applications
made by the railroad carriers reach
ing the Pacific coast TO relief from
the orders Already made by the In
terstate Commerce commission. These
applications were based entirely upon
the fact that the Panama canal had
been completed and that water com
petition via that route had been
greatly intensified. The Nevada
commission, aided by other repre-
sentatives of the intermountaiiI
states, fought these applications Wig

%, 1915, the Interstate Commerce
commission made an order granting
to these railroad carriers some addi-
tional relief other than that which
had been allowed under what is
known as the fourth section order
No. 124.
Since then many slides have occur

these sides is in what is known as
the Culebra cut, and it IS now esti-
mated that it will be at least nine
months before anything like regular
traffic can be resumed through the

trade, including some new ones
which entered the service to pick up

now appears to be reduced to a min
iuum.
This water competition at the ter
n'inals has always been invoked in
justification Of the practice OF allow
ing low rates at those points and
charging much higher rates through
out the Intermountain country
where the haul is very much shorter
and the cost OF transportation very
much less.
Having in view this situation, the
Nevada commission has addressed
petition to the Interstate Com
mission asking for complete re-
opening OF the whole subject matter
and has invited the cooperation Of
the other Intermountain states.
Following are some OF the salient
points in the petition:
To the Honorable. The Interstate
Commerce Commissions:
Your petitioner very respectfully
petitions and asks that the two Or
ders referred to above be vacated,
Cancelled and set aside. and that the
whole subjcct-matter OF the applica-
tons referred to be reopened ior
further consideration, or, if suc,'
course be deemed inadvisable by the
commission, that order No. 124, pre-
viously made, be reinstated, and thl
rates therein prescribed be ordered
into effect.
In this behalf your petitioner di-
rects your attention to the fact that
the order of January %, 1915, wa

September, 1914, there had been {

tatives Of the intermountain country
i'll thus opposing the petition of the
carriers.
Upon information and belief your
petitioner alleges that the tonnage for
the said month OF September, 1914,
through the Panama canal has never
been equa,ed, or anywhere near
equa!ed. during any subsequent
month; that slide after slide has oc-
Cured in the canal, stopping naviga-
ton for cons derajble periods OF
time; that recently another slide OF
immense proportions has taken place,
and at the present time the indica
tions are that it will be many
months before anything like regular
traffic can be resumed through the
canal.
Your petitioner further alleges,
upon information and belief, that at
the present time the freight tonnage
carried by water is no greater than
it was before the opening Of the Pan
ANA canal. and that meanwhile the
tonnage by rail has largely increased;
wherefore, your petitioner alleges
that the only reasons given for the
making Of the two orders referred
to herein have failed, and have been
/ proved to be unsound by the logic
| of events x
| The testimony of the railroad Wit
nesses themselves has made it abso-
lutely clear that the excess charges
complained of by the different states
in the intermountain territory are
not. and never have been made the
subject of any division whatever
among the various carriers taking
! part in the transportation OF freight
j into that region. 1t has been made
as clear as testimony can make any
thing that these excess charges, pop
u u'arly termed '4oack-haul charges"
nave been arbitrarily levied by the
| final carriers and that they stand
upon their traits entirely separate
and apart from the matter or trans
continental rates. In other words.
1ilat the rates charged at Reno are
not, in any proper sense, transconti-
mental charges, but transcontinent
charges plus somethin.s more impos-
ed by the final carriers.
In conclusion, petitioner once more
asks that your honorable body will,
in its wisdom and sense Of fairness,
either rcinstate order No. l24, or re-
open the entire subject-matter for
further hearing, and make new or
der thereon which will be still more
in consonance with the principles OF
equality and justice, and give to the
intermountain states, particularly Ne
vada. still larger measure OF relief.
