APPLE GROWERS PUT
BAN ON DISLOYALTY

We are little republic unto our
selves, declared A. W. Stone Satur-
day IN an appeal to members of the
Apple Growers Association, gathered
AT their annual meeting, to adopt
an amendment to bylaws that will
permit the cooperative agency's board
of directors to expel members found
guilty of disloyalty. 1--WE have rem.
ody at law, when member violates
his contract, nut we believe the worst
punishment we can mete cut will be to
drop him from the list of those who
benefit from our organizat on"
Two other bylaw ameu ments were
adopted. One Of them provides for
system of elimination Of candidates
following the first vote for directors.
TIE other provides that no amendment
to the bylaws in future can be adopted
without at least rs per cent Of the vote
of quorum present.
A little discussion preceded the vote
on the adoption OF the loyalty amend
ment. While some growers opposed
the measure, other speakers urged its
adoption among them Roy D. Smith
and F. NJ Cox.
MIR Cox, here from Chicago on a
visit, declared that he c0nsde ed the
Apple Grower Association the valleys
most nee, ssary institution. He stated
that he had implicit confidence in the

PLAN FOR PASSOVER

The families of H. Cross and A.
Boxer, numbering II, and Miss Ida
Elmer, the only Jewish residents Of
Hood River, will celebrate their Easter
beginning next Monday. The Jewish
Easter will occur next Tuesday. The
Feast of the Passover will follow on
Tuesday, April %. For a period of
eight days orthodox Jews can eat none

will be burned at the Jewish homes
From that time on the families will
discontinue the use of dishes used

ligion as closely as possible. says:
while it will be impossible for me

Monday and Tuesday nights to my wife
and children about the flight of the
Israelites from Egypt. While we can

COUNTY EXPECTED TO
RAISE VICTORY QUOTA

Members Of the Victory Loan execu-
tive committee say they contemplate
no trouble in raising the county quota,
an estimated 500, 600.
"Our citizens are better prepared
for meeting the duties Of the approach
ing loan than they were for any of the
Liberty loans" says f. o. Blanchar.
All of the Liberty loans were over
subscribed here. The liberality Of the
government in its installment plan Of
payments and the value of the securi-
ties from an investment standpoint
will go far toward the sale of our por-
ton of the securities. "
1t is not anticipated that any can.
vass will be needed in Hood River
county to sell the quota. Letters will
be written to all subscribers of former
loans. and it is expected that these
will bring in sufficient voluntary sub
criptions to account for the quota. In
case the plan fails, active eanvassing
will be put into effect.

claimed that the district, which ac
quired its rights of appropriation from
the east Fork lrrigating Company, had
lost is privilege of using the water by
failure to make use Of it within rea-
sonable time. The district set up as a
defense that it had not slept on its

HOG RAISING Is
VERY PROFITABLE

Raising hogs is profitable for orch
ardsts. according to Frank j. Fox,
owrer of large orchard place near
Husum, who was here Monday on bGsl-
ness, provided they grow part of
their feedstuif.
IL had heard a great deal about it, 4"
he said, ''and | was determined to try
it out last year. | have been very sue
cessful with my hog sales. -
Mr.. Fox raised the English bacon
hog, the Tamworth. He pastured the
animals on alfalfa, following this with
crops Of small grain, which were
"hogged off. " He finished his swine
with ground barley Mr.. Fox warns
growers not to allow their hogs to feed
on alfalfa following the application of
arsenate Of lead sprays to the fruit
trees. Several Of bis hogs were poi
s0ned in this manner.

TREE PLANTING

MANY GROWERS MAkE CLEARINGS
Provided Labor Conditions Become More
PrOpltlOuS, Heavy Paintings En-
pected in a Few Years

Hood River valley acreage. which in
the past three or four years has de
creased as the result Of old orchards
and tracts not adaptable To fruit beng
grubhed out. will he increased in the
aggregate nearly 200 acres this year
10y dozens OF growers clearing up and
planting small tracts on their places.
No new tracts Of large area will be
planted
Indeed, according to f. A. Massee,
even though growers desired TO plant
heavily. the lack of nursery stock
would prevent it for the coming two
years. Local nursery stock will lust
about meet the demands made this
year. Pear supplies especially are
growing short. AS a result of the war,
says Mr.. Massee. nurserymen the coun-
try over allowed their stocks to reach
negligible quantities, 1t will take two
or three years 10 grow the seedlings
and produce the CRAFTS.
New orchard paintings here will run
largely to pears because of the large
profits made by pear growers the past
year However, as the result Of large
profits Of apples and the excellent out
look the coming year, many local grow
ers say they would consider il wise
investment TO plant apples. provided
cheaper labor We're available and the
nursery stock could be secured. In
deed. it is predicted that heavy new
acreage Will be set here within the
next few years. provided labor condi.
tIons become normal again.
New paintings, however, will have
to be made largely in the districts
around Dee and in the Upper Valley.
II is estimated that less than 500 acres
of land adapted to tree culture remain
in the entire lower valley
The heaviest future paintings will
undoubtedly lie made on =, 2,000-acre
logged off tract south of Dee now be-
ing placed on the market in 10 acre lots
by the Oregon Lumber Co.
This soil, known as red shot and es-
pecialiy adapted to fruit, is Identical
with that Of the Dee Flat section,
where banner strawberry and pear
tracts have been developed in the past
! 10 years. The new tract is already at
tracing attention and several purchas-
ers plan the development of tracts this
| year.
Indications point to heavy increase
Of Strawberries in the Upper Valley.
During the past several years, as a re,
suit Of labor shortage at harvest time,
Upper Valley growers have pulled out
their berries. With the war ended la
bor conditions are becoming better and
Strawberries are becoming more profit
! able each year.
