This spring some of the nropres.

products OF the district. N ]. Emory
formerly OF Puyallup, with several
years experience in buying and sell.
ing for cooperative organizations and
IN other lines of business was engag-
Ell as manager. Through his efforts
the canning company was reorganiz-
ed. the capital stock has been increas-
ed from $4,000 to $4,000 and the
members OF the growers association
given controlling interest of 55 per
cent, the business men holding the
other % per cent. This ties the farm
ers and the business men together in
this enterprise and insures COOPER
ative effort to make it success.
Business Men to be Benefited.
The business men of Oroville want
the pay roll and other advantages the
operation OF the cannery will bring
and the farmers want it as means OF
disposing of products that would 9th
erwise be a total loss.
Another progressive move this
year Is to be the establishment of a
demonstration farm. Raymond Sui
koski, one of the prominent growers
OF the Puyallup valley, has been II
fered the job of running the farm.
One factor credited with assisting
in the developing of the valley is the
Dunkard colony, about five miles out
of Oroville. This was established bv
DR.. G. A. Shamberger, doctor of
divinity as well as physician. and
Rev. Paul Mohler, and is located in
one OF the most productive and scenic
sections of the valley. Most of the
members Of the colony are from
Pennsylvania. descendants of revolu-
tionary pioneers, who are bringing to
the new country the same energy

establishing the United States of
America
"ApricOts, Melons and Tomatoes.
Experiments have demonstrated
that the district is particularly
adapted to apricots, melons and to-
matoes as well as apples and pears,
and in the new paintings provision is
being made for all of these lines.
There is also more of an inclina-
tion to dairying on limited scale,
few cows being kept on each place
The Puyallup plan of flock of chick
ems for each orchard and berry field
is also being adopted.
Last year the district shipped 800
carliods of apples alone. This year the
apple shipments will be larger and
there will be large quantity of other
products sent out, including apples,
peaches, pears. apricots, plums, to-
matoes, Strawberries. asparagus, can
taloupes and watermelons." =

DISTRICT LEADS
IN new PLANTING
Prize for Best Record in Selling Fruit
Trees Won by Oroville
Salesman.

One of the largest nurseries ON the
coast issued a circular letter to its
agents early in January announcing
that beginning with the first week in
January aud running to the middle of
April We are going to offer three cash
prizes, $40, $25 and SIS to the three
statesmen making the best record dur
ing that period" L.o and behold, resi-
dent of Oroville carried off the first
prize, and that saleman was G. W..
Smith. Concrete evidence that the nur-
sery acted in good faith and that Mr..
Smith won the honor was displayed at
the Gazette office Monday evening by
the proud recipient when he waved the
check for $40 received in the mail that
evening.
| Mr. Smith won his reward in compe-
, tition with statesmen in seven states.
The second prize went to A. A. Boom
hover, of Yakima, and the third prize
to E. X. Hanford, of Boise, Idaho. Mr..
Smith disposed of nursery stock to the
value of $4.57913. This record was
made against such important fruit dis
trlcts as Yakima, San Jose, CAL: On
tario, Oregon; Nampa, Idaho; Paonia,
Colorado; Salt Lake, Utah; Kalispell,
Mont; and a score of other widely
known fruit districts of the coast. Had
the period of contest extended until
the. first of May Mr.. Smiths sales
would have shown much increased
amount, for though sales and delivery
are supposed to close about the middle
OF April, Mr.. Smith has mailed and
telegraphed in orders for stock during
the last days Of April
Mr.. Smith represented nursery
that supplies the coast states with
fruit tree stock, but it is but one of a
dozen nurceriec that have had sales
men in this territory, all of whom
booked orders to greater or less ex-
tent, and the enormous amount OF new
trees brought in and planted this
spring conveys some idea of the extent
of new ground that has been set out
to orchard this year.
While the winning of the chief prize
offered for nursery sales reflects great
credit upon Mr. Smith as an active
salesman, that success is still a matter
OF greater satisfaction to the people of
the district as illustrating the fact that
lands under the system are rapidly be-
ing improved and each year in the fu-
ture is going to add to their value, and
eventually the district will be as pro-
ductive in the amount of fruit grown
as the Omak or Wenatchee districts,
furthermore, as evidence that tree
planting is not sporadic and to cease
with the present season, Mr.. Smith
states that already he has had up
wards OF 90 orders for tree delivery
next spring. The increased fruit acre
age this year may have been extraor-
dinary, but Mr. Smith insists that
still greater acreage will be planted
next year.

SALESMAN HAS UNCANNY POWER.
G. r. GregsOn Gets the Money Where
Il saint"

G. T. Gregson, of Spokane, who is a
rapid fire artist at putting over special
sales of merchandise, was visitor in
Oroville Saturday. Mr.. Gregson was
here while on his way to Republic
where he has a closing out sale billed
for A.JNickle, cleanup sales of mer-

are carried on under are a specially

out cash where the general public
labors under the impression that no
cash exists, is really uncanny.
man must know how to arouse the
buying instinct when he could put on
successful sales last year, when 10
most OF us it seemed that the dollar
had gone into hiding never to appea"
in public again, and that is jus what
Mr.. Gregson did. He put on sale for
Charlie Blackwell that continued over
II days with cash receipt OF over
$22, 900, and turned around and pulled
off nine day sale for the Oroville
Commercial store that brought in over
$17 900. when it was generally felt.
owing to the trend Of business, that
there was not that amount of cash in
all north central Washington.
Mr. Gregson has the faculty of maxi
ing most favorable impression on the
community in which he operates, for
no matter what the nature of the
stunts he introduces to draw crowds
he works strictly on the square, thus
creating confidence and making
friends. He has managed three sales
for the Oroville Commercial company s
store and should he ever engineer an
other he would be welcomed back by
those who have mad dealings with him
in the past, and would make the rIutrh
sale as successful as the three pre-
ceeding ones.

SPRAY ADVICE GIVEN.
5. p. Scott Writes OF Mildew and its
Control.

|
Control.
The declaration has been made that
orchardists in this district lost $32
an acre on Jonathans last year be-
Icause of the effects of mildew. S. P.
| Scott, deputy horticultural inspector,
says that the loss will be greater this
| year unless the progress of mildew
| is checked now. The following article
was prepared by Mr.. Scott for the in
| formation of the fruit growers of this
section:
| Since mildew is firmly established
in this district and is fast becoming
one of our most serious problems, it
may be well to outline few facts
! concerning its control:
| First let us explain that apple
powdery mildew is fungus, deriv-
| ing its nouEishment by means of
which pierce the cells of the leaves,
| twigs and fruit and extract the sap
or juice from them. This results
in a deadening of the cells thus at
| tackled and consequently lessons vi
tality to the tree.
! Since the mycelium lies dormant
in the winter inside the bud it is ap-
parent that it's first appearance
would be noticed when the bud first
opens. At this time badly infected
bud has blighted appearance and
the petals assume dried condition
w ich
| idly, if the weather be humid and con-
ditions right, goes on the work If
spreading the infection This is done
by means of spores, resembling tiny
| particles of flour. In fact badly in
fected shoot or terminal often has
the appearance of having been dipped
in flour. These spores as thrown off
by the mycelium, are caught up by
! passing currents of air and placed
on new twigs and leaves. Weather
conditions have a great deal to do
with the spread of mildew. The more
dews and rain we have attended by
warm temperature, the more serious
is our mildew outbreak.
! From the facts at hand it would
clearly be seen that when the buds
have opened and the fungus first
starts would be the time to strike the
first blow in its control. This is known
as the pink spray" and properly
timed is just as the blossom cluster
separate and before they open. Mr.
Fisher, government plant pathologist
] explains that much of the rllSsetin o
of the apples later is caused by in
lection at this time, hence it is desir-
able to secure a thorough coating Of
all sides of the small leaves and buds
with this spray.
Other beneficial results are also
noticeable, the prime one being that
tender foliage and fruits become
hardened by this application of sui
phur and are later not so likely to
i suffer sulphur injury. The import
ance of this cannot be overestimated
T, on varieties such as Stayman, Jonath-
an, etc. In fact experiment has shown
us that Stayman apples sprayed in
the pink" showed little or no sulphur
injury when followed by later sprays
made during high temperatures, but
| these apples ON which the pink
spray was omitted showed heavy loss
from sulphur burn or scald.
The material to use for controlling
mildew is lime and sulphur, 1-50 gal
Ions or 4 gallons of 32 degrees con-
centrate to 200 gallon tank. Stronger

FAVORITES WIN
IN OHIO PRIMARIES
HELD ON TUESDAY
Thompson TO Oppose DOnahey and
Fess VIII Oppose POmerene
KeaIns Wins Nomination In
NeighbOr Dictrict.

Columbus, Ohio, August 9. AL
though not complete to large degree,
the slowly filtering returns from the
Ohio primary election positively indi-
cate the victory of the two Governor
ship favorites, Colonel Carmi A
Thompson, Republican, and A. V. Don
ahey, Democrat
Present returns seem to show that
Thompson will be a minority selection.
His gains in the rural sections though,
may give, ultimately, him a clear ma
jority.
Donahey, on the other hand seems
to be assured of a total vote that will
exceed by far the combined strength
of his rivals, Judge James Johnson, of
Springfield. and Thomas ]. Duffy, of
East Liverpool.
In the contest for the nomination
for the United States Senatorship
these conditions are duplicated. The
Republican award is to Congressman
| Sime~u D. Fess, of Greene county, and
the Democratic to Senator Atlee Pom
creme, of Canton.
| Whether or not Fess will be a mi
nority candidate is a question that the
full returns from the state will have
to decide.
In the congressional race in the
Sixth district, our neighboring dis
trict Congressman C. C. Kearns, of
Batavia, again won the Republican
nomination over his opponent Chas.
Crawford, OF Portsmouth, by a large
majority showing his personal popu-
larity with the people of his district.
Wm. n. -Gableman, of Portsmouth,
won the Democratic nomination for
Congress and will oppose Mr.. Kearns
in November. Both Kearns and Cable
man are very popular in Maysville.
Congressman Kearns often visits
Maysville and presented the Cardinal
Band to President and Mrs Harding
at PIT. Pleasant. Mr.. Gableman was
president of the old Ohio State base
ball league and often visits here.
