izers, he evidently has reference to the 

 purely chemical, or inorganic, since animal 

 fertilizers do immensely stimulate the pro- 

 duction of carbon dioxide. 



The conclusions arrived at by Riedel 

 seem to point to the use of organic 

 fertilizers and aerated soil as the most 

 practical methods now available to the 

 farmer for increasing the amount of carbon 

 dioxide for his crops, since it is not as yet 

 commercially practicable for every farmer 

 to obtain carbon dioxide on a large scale 

 for artificially fertilizing his crops. 



One of the organic fertilizers used with 

 marked success for a number of years in the 

 states of Washington and Oregon, is a man- 

 ufactured orchard dressing having an analy- 

 sis of 6-10-14. Letters from prominent 

 orchardists in the two states tell of success 

 in the use of this fertilizer. They speak 

 of obtaining maximum quality and quantity 

 crop returns over a period of years. They 

 seldom experience "skip" crops.

I'HECKS covering the fourth distribution since 

 Christmas were recently mailed by the .^pple 

 Growers' Association at Hood River to its mem-

'■'HE Oregon Growers' Co-operative Association 

 is seeking a reduction in transcontinental rates 

 on late pears. .At present all pears are classed as 

 perishable and take a rate of $2.08J^ per hun- 

 dred pounds. The association's contention is that 

 late pears are no more perishable than apples and 

 are entitled to the apple rate of $1.50.

TT was recently announced that the John A. 



Eck company of Sutherlin had contracted for 



50 carloads of green prunes to be shipped to its 



plant in that town. The firm expects to handle

Sutherlin. The contract price was said to be 



two cents a pound, or one-half cent more than 



paid last season.
