MANY ATTEND THE
GRANGE PICNIC

After twenty motor car loads of
Grangers and their friends enjoyed
basket dinner in Woodworth's grove,
near Parkdale, last Wednesday, most
timely program WAS presented.
Pomona's Worthy Matron, Mrs. VIM.
Munroe, introduced the principal speak
er, A. G. Clark, of Portland Those
present listened with close attention
while the speaker advocated Buy at
Home, MADE in Oregon Goods, and
Cooperation, and deplored the pat
ronizing of mail order houses. A lively
discussion followed, which. reduced to
simple terms; means that the consumer
will buy where he can buy cheapest
and the producer will sell where he can
obtain best prices for his products.
The great question to be solved is:
Why the great difference between
prices received by producer and those
paid by consumer, and how can such
condition be changed for the benefit
of both? Cooperation ls the word.

BROTHERS MEET
AFTER % YEARS

When Roscoe Smith, Master of

cargo for Europe, called on his brother,
Roy ID. Smith, and announced himself

was about seven years old he captured
a neighbours milch-goat and took 1t on
a trestle to show it Mobile and Ohio

escape, but the train struck my brother
and it Is wonder that he ever lived
to captain cargo boats.

CHILDS SOUNDS FIRE
BLIGHT WARNING

Leroy Childs warns all Hood River
Valley growers to be alert for evidence
Of fire blight. one of the worst men
aces to the fruitgrowers. MIR. Childs
states that the disease has been found
in orchards on the Hood River-Wasco
county boundary between here and Mo.
sier, While Mr.. Childs is sounding the
S. Q. S. signal. he says that growers
can easily control fire blight and bring
about its complete eradication, if they
cooperate in their watchfulness. The

pounds per acre could be considered
sufficient
This may be followed by another
application next spring of similar
amount. Whether or not this second
application is necessary would depend
largely upon the response secured from
the first. The great problem that con-
fronts the berry grower is to get a
sufficiently large crop to insure fnan-
cial success. This means many bios
oms maturing into large fruit. On the
other hand, unless great care is exer-
cised in fertilization, especially with
nitrate there is danger from soft ber-
ries Of poor shipping quality. During
short season when extremely hot
weather prevails. berries thus grown
do not stand up well. However. there
are few cases where at least one
application of such fertilizer will not
pay. and as already suggested the in.
formation at hand appears to favor
applications after berry harvest. The
evidence supporting this is not fnaI
| however.
Another problem upon which the
station is working is that regarding
the best time of topping and irrigat
ing. Some growers withhold topping
from two weeks to a month after The
end Of berry harvest. Others top the
plants Immediately and continue irri.
cation. Several growers claim to hav,
checked up on this matter pretty close
ly and prefer the latter plan. In hC
case allow the plants to dry out.

CONCRETE BRIDGE
TO BE PAVED SOON

Replying to a letter written by
Judge Blowers, who wrote to the State
Highway Commission asking that the
new concrete bridge over Hood river
there be paved. State Highway Engin-
eer Herbert Num- states that he has
notified contractors, and that the paw
ing will be laid as soon as practicable.
Judge Blowers urged in his letter
that the bridge the roadway of which
is now exceedingly rough, be paved
before the heavy movement Of apples
begins in September. The traffic over
the bridge for September, October and
November is heavier than at any other
season Of the year.
