Orchards Are Coming
Into Their Own

Claude C. Cate, plant pathologlst
OF Jackson county, has made the
statement that II is a good sign that
the banner year for Rogue River Or
chard production falls on the high
priced fruit year For this reason
thousands of dollars will roll into
the pockets OF the orchardists, which
in turn will go into improvements
and will insune future production on
correspondingly large scale.
According to Mr.. Cate twenty
thousand acres of bearing orchards
in Jackson county this year will pro-
duce 1900 carloads OF fruit The
production in order OF Importance IS
pears, apples, peaches, apricots,
prunes, plums and berries. For sew
eral years past a series Of reverses
have hurt the fruit production in
this valley to such an extent that
fruit raising had been given a bad
eye, but this year the valley has
come into its own and the faith OF
those who developed the big orchard
areas will be repaid in full with a
single years crop.
Orchard managers report that
they can use more help, not only
during the picking and packing sea-
son now starting. but thruout the
year. The young orchards coming
into bearing are gradually increas-
ing their yield annually. and will
demand more attention yearly as
this increase grows. Women are
needed in the orchards picking the
fruit and in the packing houses,
while men are being engaged to do
the heavier orchard work, such as
handling the boxes and hauling
them to the packers. For the next
three months the orchards in the
Rogue River valley will be a hum
ming hive of industry.

Bishop Preached
It At M. E. Church

Bishop Matt Hughes preached al
the Methodist Episcopal church on
Sunday last. The Bishop has lee
tured twice at our Chautauqua, so
our people knew something of his
eloquence; but in sermonizing Is
where his real power shows. He has
a style resembling Bishop McIntire
one of the greatest of the Meth
odist Bishops-and is graceful and
forceful. AS an analyst he is con-
yincing. His text was that superb
epitome Of human worthiness given
by Paul in his letter to the Gala
tians, But the fruit of the spirit
is love, joy. peace, longsuffering,
gentleness. goodness, faith, meek
ness, temperance.
The Bishop said the fruit OF the
spirit is the real man-the inward
and the outward, the whole being
in his relations to his fellows. II he
does not show in his daily walks and
acts the requisites laid down by
Paul, then he is not what he should
be-for his own good and for the
good of others.
The auditors carried away a WV
i'd picture of the true life-an in
delible impression of the words OF
Paul, which should be the determi-
nation of every man and woman,
In logic and oratory Bishop
Hughes is worthy to stand with the
great bishops of the Methodist
church. None but great preachers
or young men showing the sure
seeds of greatness-ar ever chosen
for bishops IN this exalted church
