PATRIefTC WEEK
PLANS ARE MADE
BUSINESS HOUSES WILL DECORATE
Members Of Artillery Club Initiate Move.
ment Representatives Of Three
Banks to Judge Displays

Hood River will observe Patriotic
week and the national colors will be
displayed here all next week by all
business houses. The movement was
initiated by the members of the Artil-
lery club, composed of the enlisted
men of Co. IL, c. A. c. Robert Lee
Foust and Joe c. Hayward were busy
yesterday morning visiting all places
of business and their proposed plans
we're met with enthusiasm.
The artillerymen will give a first
prize of $40 and second of of SIS, both
cash. Judges for the event have been
named as follows: Truman Butler, S.
A. Mitchell and E. o. Blanchar. All
decorations must be completed by next
Wednesday evening. The judges will
make their awards next Thursday
morning.
A personal canvass will be made of
all the business houses not only in the
lower city, but on the Heights.
The merchants of Hood River have
already made loyal response to the
recent proclamation of Mayor Dumble,
and flags have been flying from almost
all of the business houses. On their
visits yesterday Messrs. Foust and
Hayward found all of the business
people ready to cooperate in the move
ment to their fullest extent. Mayor
Dumble has expressed an approval of
the proposed plans and all city officials
will lend their assistance in carrying
out the schemes of decorations.
By next Wednesday night Hood
River will be a town of flags. 1t is
likely that patriotic meetings will be
held throughout the week.

u. s. GETS SECRET
OF CULTURE PEARLS

Local people have been interested
recently at the display at the store of
w. F. Laraway Of Japanese culture
pearls. The United States govern
ment is the first in the world to be-
come co-possessor with Japan of the
secret of pearl culture through sugical
operations on bi-valves, according to
statement made recently at Berkeley
by Professor c. A. Kofoid, of the Uni
versity of California. Professor ko-
fold, as member Of the Bureau of
Fisheries, spent considerable part of
his sabbatical leave last year in Japan
and was intrusted with the transmits
sion of the pearl culture secret to the
United States.
The Japanese government enjoys
monopoly of the industry in Japanese
waters. Prof. Kofoid refused to dis
cuss the nature of the operation
through which the oysters are made to
produce perfect pearls, saying that the
information was impaired to him solely
for the information of the government.
The secret has never before been
given to another country. Prof. Kofoid
was given a set of delicate surgical in
struments with which the operation is
performed. With the Japanese system
the pearls produced need no action ex-
cept that which naturally developed
pearls are subject to.

COOPERATION ASKED
in WRAPPING DEAL

The Apple Growers Association has
received letter from the organized
fruit interests of the Yakima valley.
which asks the local fruit men to CO.
operate with the Washington growers
in their resolution to ship at least 65
per cent of their lower grade apples
the coming season without wrappers.
The letter states that paper used in
wrapping the fruit has increased 100
per cent in price since last season and
that the cost for paper to be used on
the lower grade product is such as to
make this preparation of the apples
for market prohibitive.
Whether the local growers will join
a movement to curtail the expense of
purchasing apple wrappers has not
been decided. No action has been
taken by the boards of directors of
shipping concerns. Growers express
the opinion that it would be very un-
wise to make shipments of any of the
higher grades of Northwestern apples
without the protection of wrappers.
However, a sentiment favorable to
discontinuing the use of papers on the
lower grade apples prevails.

WOMEN'S VAUDEVILLE
SHOW SUCCESSFUL

The vaudeville show given exclusive
ly by the women of the Pine Grove
grange at the grange hall last Friday
evening was marked success. The
sum of $4l.25 was netted by the novel
entertainment, the fund to be used in
improving the big hall.
One of the most entertaining fea-
lures of the show was the exhibition of
club swinging given by Miss May Dick
erman. Mrs. Edgar Franz was appre-
ciated in the rendition of classic dane
ing. Mrs. Franz, before she partici-
pated in the dance, illustrated the work
she is doing among Hood River chill
dren, by the presentation of her little
brother, Leonard Thomson and little
Miss Agnes Chipping.
The comedy stunt put on under the
direction of Mrs. c. X. Benton, sur
passed expectations. Following the
show music was donated for dance by
the following: R. E. Scott, Morris
Graft, Mrs. F. H. Blackman and Miss
Almanac Chipping.
Other numbers on the program were
as follows:

berShip, Tonnage and Control
Of Storage Facilities

Activities on the part of fruit sales
agencies, which have reached the larg-
est number in the history of the valley,
will be more marked the coming sea-
son than on any former year. Five
concerns will participate in the fruit
deals of 19l7-the Apple Growers As
sociation, the Fruit Growers Ex-
change, the Hood River Fruit Co., the
Pacific Fruit & Produce Co. and Dan
Wuille & Co.
With membership of $50 growers,
the Association, which controls all but
small percentage of the valleys cold
sto, age space, will handle the largest
portion of the Hood River tonnage.
The Fruit Growers Exchange, the
fruit of which is shipped through the
Northwestern Fruit Exchange, of Sc
attic, handled approximately $50 car
loads of apples last year. This agency
plans material expansion the coming
season. A new receiving station and
warehouse will be erected at Odell, and
tentative plans for similar plant at
Van Horn, another station on the Mt.
Hood Railroad Co., are under way.
The Hood River Fruit Co., which
will be managed by H. F. Davidson,
who has been the export representative
of the Apple Growers Association with
an Office at New York City, will make
provisions for receiving stations here
and at Van Horn and Odell.
The Pacific Fruit & Produce Co., the
head Office of which is in Portland, has
opened local Office in charge of R. r..
Gill, formerly produce man of Marsh
field, and has made preparations to
participate in the strawberry deal.
Dan Wuille Co., English apple mer-
chants, who are represented in the
Northwest by A. E. Woolpert, of
White Salmon, announce that they will
continue to purchase apples despite the
fact that British embargo is on.

MERCHANTS DENY
DETRIMENTAL REPORT

Rumors that became circulated
throughout the valley last week with
out any apparent foundation caused
numerous citizens, who heard and be-
lieved true the reports that several
Hood River business men of German
names had expressed a sentiment of
American disloyalty to threaten boy
colt on the alleged offenders. The
threats of boycott were directed against
W. j. Filz and George Ertle.
Mr.. Filz, who is native born and an
American citizen, was first apprised OF
the rumor Saturday, when one Of his
customers, valley woman, came to
his place of business and announced
that she would transfer her account,
giving as her reasons the charges made
in the rumors.
''It was a shock and surprise to
me- says Mr.. Filz, "and after assur-
ing my customer that such charges
were without foundation and absurd, l
began an investigation, hoping to find
how the report gained circulation. l

begun unless some one made some re-
mark about my German name. am

Mr.. Ertle declares that the only act
of his that could possibly have been in
terpreted as smacking of a lack Of
patriotism occurred recently when he
was solicited to make an appropriation
of breads and other supplies to be used
as refreshments at dance given un-
der the auspices of Red Cross organ
ization.

ORCHARDISTS BEGIN
THE SPRING DRIVE

''The spring drive" on the part of
orchardists has begun in earnest.
Thousands of barrels Of spray material
have been hauled to fruit tracts the
past week, and nearly so new power
spray machines, purchased this year
at an aggregate cost of 500, 600, will
be put into operation. While the fruit
growers devoted great attention last
year to methods of thorough spraying,
indications point to even more thor
ough applications the coming season.
Several innovations in the modes of
application will be introduced in local
orchards this season. Numerous grow
ers, whose trees have reached a large
size, will apply materials to the top
most branches by means of towers
erected on their spray machines. Sew
eral growerst have purchased machines
that apply fungicides and insecticides
in powder form by means of blowers.
Strawberry growers are beginning
the cultivation of their tracts. The
numerous sales of berry plants that are
being made indicate that large acre
age of new strawberry fields will be
set out this spring.

the practicabiilty of applying nitrate
Of soda is a mooted question. Seem
ingly there is nothing to be gained by
this fertilizer. However, it is possible
that small amounts may be used with
gain to aid in setting fruit as the main
aim. Experiments bearing upon this
point are under way.
To the apple growers whose trees
are just entering upon the bearing
stage, the writer urges moderation.
Any greatly stimulating influence, such
as pruning, irrigation, clover or shade
crops practiced excessively will pro-
long the bearing age. This is especi-
ally true with nitrate of soda.
In conclusion the writer urges the
grower to size up the tree as the unit
rather than the whole orchard. In
this way fertilizer which is now quite
expensive, may be made to cover a
larger area with more desirable re-
suits.

NOW IS THE TIME TO
APPLY FERTILIZER
(By G. G. Brown

A great deal of commercial fertilizer
such as nitrate of soda, has been pur-
chased by apple growers this spring.
Sales have exceeded that of former
years. The brisk demand for this fer
tilzer has been prompted largely by
the excellent results secured on the
experiment station plots during the
past three years.
The time to apply this fertilizer is
now. Don't put the matter off. AS
yet we have accumulated but little
data showing other ..than the approxi-
mate dates between which satisfactory
results may be secured from such ap-
plication. Experiments are now under
way bearing upon this point. How
ever, definite knowledge has been
gained showing conclusively the
marked superiority of early appliea-
tions compared with the late. To be
more explicit, March or early April
may be considered early. Late April
and May may be considered quite late.
Regarding amounts: Those who
have studied the report of the Hood
River Experiment Station for 1916 will
have noted that there is apparently
much satisfactory evidence to support
the practicability of the lighter appli-
cation. For mature trees bearing
full crops three pounds may be consid-
cred light. Double that amount may
be considered heavy. Attention was
called to the factsthat in one orchard
where light crop was borne, three
pounds applied early gave just as sat
isfactory results as seven pounds. sln
the other orchard, where heavy crop
was borne, the lighter application gave
nearly as good results as the heavy.
Both orchards had been previously
clean titled excessively with no cover
crop. The statements regarding re-
suits are based on sthe extent of ter
minal growth, leaf development, per.
centage of fruit set, character and
quantity of fruit. Where the crop was
small. the character of Spitzenburgs
was somewhat inferior to that on trees
receiving the smaller amount. This
was due slightly to excessive size OF
fruit largely to inferior color. Where
the heavy crop was borne the yields
were in proportion to the amounts ap-
Piled, the heavier applications being
accompanied by larger yields. In this
case there was no evidence of oversti'
mutation in any respect.
From these results we may with
more safety apply the heavier amounts
to older trees giving evidences Of
heavy bloom. However, where tree:
are making normal growth and Civ
ing good percentage of fruit set
there is nothing to encourage largs
amounts of fertilizer. Moderation Ii
to be recommended. Where trees ar,
thus giving such desirable results
either in the presence of clean tillag,
following clover or other such crop, o
in the presence of alfalfa, which ha
been established sufficiently long Z
make its stimulating influence felt
