. Mieux les fruits. La culture de fruits. Avril, 1922 [arbres de la taille requise, ils utilisent trop d'eau et utilisent également l'eau trop tard dans la saison afin de permettre à l'arbre à mûrir avant les gelées d'automne les attaquer. Il y a d'autres raisons qui inciteraient à le condamner aux pépiniéristes outre le fait d'être malade, d'un retard, consanguin, mongrel ou en raison d'une fabrication dans le greffage et bourgeonnement. Je dis que les producteurs ne devraient pas chercher à négocier en ventes au comptoir de pépinière. La terre est trop v.iluable. Coût de la main-d'oeuvre non seulement justifie mais exige le meilleur bilan que la science et la compétence peut produire. Si je

. Better fruit. Fruit-culture. April, 1922 [trees of the required size, they use too much water and also use the water too late in the season to allow the trees to ripen thoroughly before fall frosts attack them. There are other reasons that would lead one to condemn nursery stock besides the fact of its being diseased, stunted, inbred, mongrel or because of poor workmanship in grafting and budding. I say that growers should not seek bargain counter sales in nursery stock. Land is too v.iluable. Cost of labor not only warrants but demands the best stock that science and skill can produce. If I were going to set out an orchard, say of Delicious apples, I would select the finest specimens of a vigorous, productive tree, say .Arkansas Black, producing highly colored apples. I would select the finest specimens when the apples were fully matured. I would care for the seeds of these and at the proper season I would plant them. When the seedlings were one year old, I would select scions of a tree of equal quality of Delicious and graft into the root 'tocks of the seedlings. I firmly believe that this method would do away with so many unsightly variations and failures in orchard culture and that the results there- from would justify the e.xtra cost and labor involved. BETTER FRUIT Plants Quarantined BY PROCLAMATION of the gover- nor and the Oregon State Board of Horticulture a quarantine on strawberry plants has been made effective and will not be raised until danger of spread of root weevil is entirely allayed. No one may now sell strawberry plants in Oregon without first obtaining written credentials from the Board of Horticulture removing the quarantine on the plants to be sold. When the quarantine was promulgated some time ago Charles A. Parks, presi- dent of the Board of Horticulture, said: "This action on the part of the board was absolutely necessary to protect and pre- serve the great strawberry industry of the state. The root weevil is a most dangerous pest an
