County fruit inspector Armstrong has received a circular front the extension Bervlce of the Oregon Agricultural college. In which Dr. C. B. Smith, extension chltlf of tho north and west and the states re lation service, has called special at tention to the desirability of pre venting the shipment this season of fruit showing the presence of ar senic spray. Last year apples aud pears from the Pacific coast exces sively coated with arsenical spray were condemned by the Boston de partment of health. Similar action may - be expected again and the resulting general discrimination against western apples and pears would be seriously detrimental to Douglas county fruit Interests. Dr. Smith indicates that it might be advisable to call this matter to the attention of horticultural coun ties. ' Therefore at the request df Director Marls, a conference on this subject was held by the Horticul turist, Entomologist aud Plant Pa thologist of the college and tbe following suggestions are made: It is necessary tor the fruit grow ers to protect their fruit against the codling moth and other trou bles. They must, therefore, spray with an arsenical. Earlier sprays, including the early August codling moth spray, if carefully applied, are not likely to leave a deposit, which will be seriously conspicuous at picking time. Last year it was necessary to put on a late August or early September spray. In so:nu sections of the state this may prove to be unnecessary this year. But it Is well to be prepared. It Is from this late application, that a con spicuous spray deposit may be fear ed. Where Bordeaux 3-3-60 or 44-50 Is applied to protect trees against anthracn'ose In August or early in September, a rather con spicuous deposit ay show up unless special precautions are taken. To avoid the objectionable spot ting where fruit must he given the late sprav the grower ay either wipe the fi-ult to remove the deposit or he may use a spreader In bis spray and apply In a fine mist so as to produce a very thin, even coating which will be almost In conspicuous nt harvest. Experiments conducted by Pro fessor Lovett and reported in Sta tion Bulletin No. 1C9 show that the use of spreaders with lead arsenate makes possible a thin, even spray coating over the fruit which results In better worm control, requires the use of less material per tree and does not leave noticeable chalky spots on drying. Growers are there fore advised to use a spreader witn the lead arsenate. The same advantages will be found when a spreader Is used with Bordeaux although nturally the Bordeaux has a heavier body and cannot help being a trlffle more conspicuous. Where anthracnoso has made a bad Btart, however, the lute summer Bordeaux spray should not be omitted as new Infections will start with the first fall rains and much damage may be done be fore picking is over and the fall anthrucnose spray can be put on. Caxeln Spreader. Cseln is the best and cheapest spreader that can be used. Granul ated casein Bhould lie secured, it my be purchased through drngelsts or In quantity at much less expense from Braun, Knocht, iiciman CO., San Francisco, or from the manu facturers, The California Central Creameries.

If I (Continued on rate GETS NEW AGENT H. F. Haslett of Massachusetts Will Take Place of C. J. Hurd in County Work. IS WELL RECOMMENDED Xew Mun Is a Graduate of Cornell University and Has Hud a (in I Deal of Experience In County Ageut' Work. At a meting of the executive com mittee of the Douglas County Farm Bureau a few weeks ago the position of county agent for this couuty was offered to Mr. H. K. Haslett. at the present lime doing special work for the government as sheep specialist for the slate of Massachusetts. A recent wire from Mr. Huslett assures bis acceptance of tbe position and states that he will report tor duty on September 1. Mr. Huslett Is a graduate from Cornell university, roaJm ing In hor ticulture and animal husbandry, Ho was for a number of years manager of a largo dairy and livestock farm in the slate of New York. For one season be had charge of packing tbe fruit from a large commercial or chard for cold storage, and since 1917 has been doing extension work in Massachusetts. Mr. Haslett is a married mun and expects to make hlB permanent liomJ In Douglas county, and It is for this reason that he has uccepied the posi tion. Mr. Haslett's training peculiar ly fits him for work in this county, especially with the livestock and hor ticultural Interests.

Prize Winning Essay A Pippin The following essay vrritten by a Riddle lady. 50 years of age. Is the winner of the first prize In the News-Review contest: lk-iu'flta Front Airplane. . (By Mrs. I. A.

NEGLECT IS CLAIMED Hoad From Iloedkport to Scot tub urg Is Their Vital Xoed According to Story. Says Portland Has Forgotten tho Iluce. An Impressive story of a neglect ed comunlty's ambition for wator and highway transportation was carried to Portland last week by W. A. Burdick, Reedsport business man, according to the Portland Journal, RoedBport Is In western Douglas county, almost at the point where the I'mpqua pours into the Pacific the flood of waters It gathers from the Cascade and the Coast Range mountains In southern Orogou. Tho hopeful little town baB one road. That road extends tha full distance between Reedsport and the beach. The distance is 2 V4 miles. "Is It (Interviewing Burdick) a good road a paved road or a mac adamized road?" "It Is," and Burdick paused to wolgh his words carefully, "not what you would call a good road. It Is a passable road. It has bumps. It has thank-you-ma'nins. It has ruts and pome peoplo say It also possesses goneral cussedness. But it Is all the road we have Ifor the 12 automobllos of Reedsport, and we get along over It very woll If we don't attempt to travel at night. Want Missing Link. What Reedsport petitions for and prays for Is the building of a 14 mllo link betweon Scottsburg and the town at the mouth of the Ump qua. Scottsburg Is further up strenm and a road from Hoaelincg reaches It. But between Scot'.sb'irff and Reedsport tho I'mpqua takes wild passige through the moun tains. There are obdurate cliffs which the powetiful stream has carv ed through the solid rock of tho earth's' crust, there are engineering problems and there are conundrums that have to do with the transport ation of materials. Tho estimated cost lb aSno.nOO. Of this amount the county ft Dou glas appropriated $60,000 to apply particularly to the scenic Scotts-burg-Reedsport link and the Inter vening road district will contribute tnwrd the cost. It Is nlso honed that tho forest servlco would find the highway sufficiently Important to tho protection of the donse growth of timber In the region to make a contribution. Before any completed fund for the Improvement can be bad assist ance must be secured Ifrom the stato highway commission. The last le gislative session adopted a measure permitting the state's necessary con tribution to the road by recognizing It as a forest or post road in order to make the Important dairying. farming and lumbering district ac cessible. The governor, for re sons which Reedsport cannot un derstand, vetoed tho act. Will Keep On. "Reedsport proposes, however, to go back to the noxt legis'atlve ses sion nnd the next and the next un til we get the help," explained Bur dick. Now. as to navigation. The port of Umpqua, which Includes lleefls port. Gnrdlnor. Scottsburg anrt Elk ton, has bravely strurcled to create In the estuary of the Umpqua a har bor equal to what the people con- cAlve will be the commerce needs Incident to thn development of tbe productive region. They have had no help from the government and no help from the state. But they have spent $200.- 000 In the construction of a north Jetty out of their own pockets, and they have established a channel rJP 1 feet at mean low wnter. As at (he mouth of the Columbia. It Is found that the narrowing and cur rents quickening Influence of a south Jetty Is necessary In order to create the channel which modern shipping demands. Portlnnd Forgets. "Why his Portlnnd forgotten us?" questioned Burdick. "One Vi.-.r. i'.:rt-Cer.'iTaiia. .'ilAKr;:; -2 comes In every i 0 days. "Does she come from Portland? Not so you can notice. She cone from San Francisco, and the Interest that San Krancls'o business Inter ests take In securing our trade cruses not a few cif our people to draw unpleasant comparisons be tween San Francisco and Portland. "Personally. I'm for Portland all the time. I know that one of these davs Portland will wake up to the Importance of supplementing our mil service with a schooner line out of the Columbia river, and also that on of these days Portlands lnflu- lonco will be placed back of harbor and highway projects.
