EXPERIMENT STATION
REPORT IS OUT

The 1916 report of the Hood River
branch of the Oregon Experiment Sta
tion has been received here. Reports
on Investigations of the following
problems are made by Leroy Childs,
acting superintendent of the station
and entomologist and plant patholo-
gist:
observations on the Relation of
Height of Fruit to Apple Scab Infec-
tion, Further Control of the Fruit
Tree Leaf Roller in the Hood River
Valley" Suggestions for the Control
of the More Serious Plant Diseases
Occurring at Hood River" and "Sug-
gestions for the Control of the More
Serious Insect Pests Occurring at Hood
River"
In conjunction with Prof. C. /. Lew
is, dean of the Horticultural depart
ment of the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege, Gordon G. Brown the stations
horticulturist, gives a report On the
Influence of Commercial Fertilizers
Upon the Bearing Apple Tree. -
Pruning Problems in the Hood River
Valley" and alfalfa Fertilizers" are
other problems discussed by Mr..
Brown.
In his report on scab infection, Mr..
Childs states that the spraying opera
tions of 1916, not only from the point
of fungicidal materials used but from
the standpoint of thoroughness of ap.
plication, have been much more exten
sive than ever before. Mr.. Childs
says spraying from towers should be
practiced in the older orchards of the
Hood River valley, since it is impossi
BILE to properly force spray materials al
any great height by means of leads Of
hose on the ground.

GRANGE ULTIMATUM
RENDERED OFFICERS

Despite the different opinion of
local attorneys, the legislative COM
mittee of the Pomona grange, who
urged the action, assert that Governor
Withycombe's veto of bill regulating
salary of county officials will not
automatically increase the salaries of
the clerk and sheriff by the sum of
5000 each. In 1918 the legislature
passed local salary bill, allowing the
sum of 81, 600 annually for both sheriff
and clerk. In 1914 the grange initiated
a bill, which was adopted, cutting the
salaries to $1,000 each. The question
was recently raised as to the legality
of the initiative bill, it having been
claimed by attorneys that such an init
iative bill, to be operative, must have
Legislative confirmation.
Bolstering their declaration by the
an opinion of w. S. U'Ren, the grang-
ers say that the initiative bill does not
need legislative sanction. Mr.. U'Ren
in his opionion cites decision in the
case of Olcott VS.. Schubel, rendered by
the Supreme Court in 1912. Local at
torneys, however, say that Mr.. U'Ren's
opinion is erroneous.
The grange committee embodied its
holdings in a formal announcement
given to local papers. The announce.
ment concluded with an ultimatum to
county officers to accept the sum OF
the initiative bill or resign from Office.
While the apparent predicament pre-.
cipitated by the request of the grang.
ers and the governors veto created
numerous smiles here Monday, Sheriff
johnson and other officers declare that
they regret very much the governors
action. Sheriff johnson says that he
feels that the salary sums of the legis
lative bill were fair in every respect.

TAX ON STORED
APPLES SUGGESTED

Whether the 1870, 900 boxes of Hood
River apples remaining here in storage
will be taxed as personal property or
not rests with the State Tax Commits
sion, according to Jasper Wickham,
county assessor. 1t is argued by those
who have suggested that tax be lew
led on the fruit that the apples are
just as much personal property as
would be stocks or bonds in the hands
of the fruit growers.
Fruit growers, however, hold that
the levy against the apples will make
double taxation. They claim that
the value of orchard land is increased
according to the age of trees and that
the fruit was potentially assessed last
year. Returns from apples are rarely
ever distributed to growers until after
March /.
Sales agency officials declare that
the levy of a tax on storage fruit
would be unjust and would be penal
ty on growers not because of their own
fault, but because of their inability to
move the fruit on account of the short
age of cars. 1t is not thought the tax
will be applied to the storage fruit.

EMBARGO Is Dis
CUSSED BY MCKAY

Speculation as to possible effects of
the English fruit embargo has formed
the chief conversation of local apple
shipping interests this week.
On next seasons crop all shipping
concerns will feel the effects Of the
embargo. Dan Wuille & Co., London
apple merchants, who through their
Northwestern representative, A. E.
Woolpert, of White Salmon, purchased
$50 cars last fall, locally, will be put
out of business.
Kenneth Mckay, manager of the
Fruit Growers Exchange, thinks the
embargo should not be taken too seri-
ously.
''We have not shipped any very
large amount of apples to England the
past year" said Mr. Mckay, ''and if
we are shut off entirely it will perhaps
be good thing, in that it will .stimu-
late US toward working domestic mar
kets and creating wider distribution
of fruit at home, a situation. that be-
lieve we will find possible.

Patriotism OF the South.

The following article appeared
in a we'll known magazine and
has been copied and commented
upon by a number of leading
newspapers in the West and East.
Throughout the length and breadth
of America the ringing cry of "My
Country has been echoing, and no
where has the sky reverberated with
its fervor more than in the sunny south.
In homes where silver-haired veter-
ans who wore the gray still recite in
quavering voices the tale of the battles
Of the sixties-where the women who
faced privation and dangers unparall-
eled In the history of the country dur
ing that glorious struggle, still live as
feeble reminders of those stirring
times, the Stars and Stripes are wav-
ing, and the youths are buckling on
their swords and offering themselves
with enthusiasm to the country they
worship. The women were among the
first to organize. not only for hospital
work, but for the manifold duties of the
men, that they might be free to res
pond to the call to arms. And this re-
markable rush to the defense of the
beloved land and starry banner against
which these same hands and those of
their sires were raised half century
ago, is one of the things which lifts
America above all other lands.
The Civil war was the bitterest and
hardest fought struggle in modern his
tory. The lair south, laid waste and
devastated, stripped of it's fairest
fruits, and the flower of its manhood,
rose from the ashes bitter with hatred
from the conqueror. The Reconstruc-
ton period was the most desolate which
has blackened any portion of our land.
But the perspective which comes from
time and understanding, has healed old
scars, and now the common cry, my
country" has completed the eradication
of the line drawn between the north
and south, and in the hour. of need,
they are again one as they have not
been in the past fifty years.
America The magic of that name
breathed with the deepest feeling in
the heart Of man-not respect, nor fear
engendered by centuries of repression
and inheritance--but of love Graded
in liberty! Shoulder to shoulder the
north and south stand ready to die in
defense of that untarnished name, and
the feeling of brotherhood is welded
together as never before.

The Louisiana Regiments.

Pride in the fine showing made by
their commands in Fridays parade is
justifable in Col. Frank P. Stubs, of
the First Louisiana, and Lieut.. Col.
Allison Owen, of the Washington Ar
tillery.
To thousands on the streets the show
ing of the two organizations was some
thing of revelation. Both exhibited
the results of the arduous training they
have been doing, marching with a fine
and even swing and conducting their
evolutions with noticeable precision.
Better set-up troops have not been
seen on the streets of New Orleans;
and the effects of healthful camp-life
and rugged exercise out-of-doors have
never been more effectively illustrated
One of the striking features of the par
ade was the adequacy and smartness of
the equipment of both the infantry and
the artillery.
The whole State ought to be proud
of these young men from city and coun-
try who represent the best type of her
young manhood. If, before this great
war is ended, they are to go to the
front she need have no misgivings as
to how they will bear themselves for
her honor and glory.-States.

Rich Bond Buyer Shamed
by Sacrifice of a Trained
Nurse
Mrs. Eloise DeBlieux Has Given Two
Stalwart Sons to Army; Will

Mrs. Eloise DeBieux, who was grad

Hospital on May IL, has returned from
her vacation which she was granted Just
after graduation. She is again at work
at the big hospital and is working hard
for entry into the army service as a
nurse.
And she has good reason behind her
ambition. For she has given two stall
wart boys to her country and they are
now members of Company A. First
Louisiana Infantry and are ready for
any orders that may come.
One of the boys, Corporal Earl De-
Blieux, is studying hard and hopes to
win commission on the next call for
officers. He is just q and fine strap

heard him. That's fine. But it is as
nothing to what this woman has done,"
he added indicating Mrs. De Blieux, who
was standing by.
SIS that sol WE'LL what has she
done?" inquired the bond buyer easy in
the thought that he had more money
than anybody about.
Nothing much, only given her two
boys to the army and she isn't done yet,
for she is trying to fit herself for an
army Red Cross nurse. Her TWO boys
are worth more to her country than O

DID Mrs. DeBlieux swell up with pride
when she heard that? She did. And
she admits that every time she thinks
of her fine boys and how they are ready
to do and die for their country, she
swells little more.
