him. Mr. Rulofson, early in 1914, went 

 as a trade commi.ssioner from Califor- 

 nia to the Orient. On his return last 

 July he discontinued the handling of 

 the cement-coated nails that he had 

 boosted for so many years and took a 

 well-earned rest. About the first of the 

 year he was appointed Pacific Coast 

 sales representative for the Pittsburg 

 Steel Company, Pittsburg, Pennsyl- 

 vania. Mr. Rulofson informs us that 

 they make a complete line of cement- 

 coated nails that are certainly equal to 

 any other brand. Mr. Rulofson's friends 

 will be glad to learn of his continued 

 activities in the nail business, and will 

 undoubtedly look forward to meeting 

 him again at the various gatherings 

 where fruitmen congregate.

Why Blossomed Fruit Fails 



When fruit trees blossom well but do 

 not set their fruit either the climate, 

 diseases or pollination is apt to be the 

 principal reason for failure, as ex- 

 plained by Professor C. I. Lewis, horti- 

 culturist of the Oregon Station. These 

 conditions were present to a greater or 

 less extent last year and are likely to 

 occur at any time, for which reason 

 growers should be on their guard to 

 lessen the ill effects. Heavy rains at 

 blossoming time mean, of course, that 

 bees are not flying and that pollination 

 would not take place. Or a heavy frost 

 may occur at about the time the fruit is 

 in blossom, and this often causes lack 

 of setting of fruit. Such diseases as 

 scab of pear or apple and brown rot 

 of prune and cherry will sometimes 

 destroy the entire crop. Insect pests 

 also sometimes are destructive. Lack 

 of pollination may occur, however, 

 with none of these unfavorable condi- 

 tions present. Many of our trees are 

 self-sterile and require the presence of
