Pear Blight 



Mr. Waite, a graduate chemist and 

 druggist, with many years' practical 

 experience in compounding chemicals, 

 states that he helieves he has found the 

 cure for hlight, which is a chemical 

 preparation which, when applied, kills 

 the germs hy dissolving the exudation. 

 While it is hoped that his remedy will 

 prove successful, fruitgrowers in gen- 

 eral are not inclineil to helieve in any 

 remedy for the cure of blight. In fact 

 they will not believe that there is any 

 method of controlling blight cxceiJt the 

 cutting-out process until such a remedy 

 has been proven positively efTective. 



Mr. Anthonie van Diem, of the firm 

 of W. van Diem Company of Rotter- 

 dam, Holland, called at "Better Fruit" 

 ofTice in July, this being his first trip to 

 the United States. The firm of W. and 

 W. U. van Diem was started in 1800, 

 and imported Northwestern fruits as 

 far back as 1895. Mr. van Diem left 

 Holland on this trip on the steam- 

 ship Rotterdam June 12, 1015, the voy- 

 age taking twenty-one days. His ex- 

 perience was quite interesting. The 

 steamship was held up several times 

 by British and German boats, but after 

 leaving the Irish coast he had a very 

 pleasant trip. Mr. van Diem was very 

 much impressed with the City of New 

 York, which he saw for the first time. 

 He arrived in Portland July 18th, being 

 entertained in that city by Vice-Consul 

 of the Netherlands, Mr. Berghuis-Krak 

 and his friends. On July 22nd he came 

 to Hood River, calling on the editor of 

 "Better Fruit," in which paper the firm 

 has advertised for a number of years. 

 He was also entertained by Mr. Wilmer 

 Sieg, sales manager of the Hood River
