The old flume is now nearly torn down in front of the court house, and it is to be hoped that the old dock of the Oregon W ood Company will be next to fall, and that it will be replaced with an up to dtte structure. The town looks good from the river now. and with a few more changes along the water front will be all that could be asked. The recent case of the City of St. Helens vs. Pete J. Pappas shows what folly it is to give a restaurant man privileges in con nection with the liquor business. There would probably never have been any objection to his serving drinks in hi3 place so long as he had not violated the law, but he was allowed to have boxes and connection with a saloon and an immediate abuse of the privileges granted him follows. Th serv ing of liquor should at least be confined to place3 that are under license and strict regulations. raising in this section should be at the meeting. If you are not at present a member join the association at once. The work to be accomplished along this line and through the organizing of the fruitgrowers is unlimited. It i3 only through larger pro duction that this section can re ceive the recognition coming to it as a fruit raising country, and the Yankton people are the pio neers in the matter. The Fourth of July committee are still at it and hard at work, to make the celebration here the best of the kind ever held on the Columbia River. There will be three bast ball games, Sunday Monday and Tuesday, and two days of celebration, Monday and Tuesday. The committee will fur nish bread and meat to the crowds, and see that everybody has plenty of chance to have the best time ever, all of which is going to cost some money, so help out when the finance com mittee finds you. This committee has met with flattering success so far and have done the part of the work in a way that is more than satisfactory. The comittee on grounds will begin their work in a short time. M. F. Hazen is the chairman, and that thing at Godfrey Park will be in good shape is assured. necessary preliminary training in swine husbandry, the man who cannot make money out of this industry may safely consider himself as out of the running when it comes to making money at anything. Soil water, shade and energy tell the story in a few words HOW TO KILL GARDEN PESTS. The Yankton fruit Grower's Association will meet at the Grange Hall in Yankton Satur day at 2 p. m. Kvery member and tvery one interested in fruit The "Hog Book" distributed by the Oregon-Washington Rail road and Navigation Co., has reached the Mist office, and it is a document that should be of value to every man on a farm or small piece of land. There are twenty three good sized pages covered with authentic informa tion in regard to hog husbandry and proof conclusive all the way through it that raising hogs pays well. The following is the first paragraph in the book, and that it states facts can be proven by trying this line of farming: "Fertility of soil and a plentiful supply of pure water are the essential points to be considered in choosing a suitable location for hog raising. Give these, with an abundance of shade and thai Oregon Agricultural College, Corvallis, ways to control the common pc-sts of tlie vegetable auu flower garden are des cribed in a new bulletin which is iu preparation lor publication by V. F. Wilson, assistant entomologist at the Oregon Agricultdr.il College. "Destructive insects secure tbeir food either by eating portions of plants, or by sucking the juices therefrom, "says Mr. Wilcon. "The firot general group ' are controlled by food poisons taken into , the stomach, the tecond by contact or I external insecticides. I "The iuternal insecticides are divided into two groups which may be termed the wet and dry sprays. The net sprays consist of arsenical s applied with water or lime-sulphur as distributing agent. "About the only one in use at the present time is arsenate of lead, wliich, when properly made and unadulterated, is efiicient and does not burn the - foli age, as Paris green sometimes does. For ordinary use, two pounds of arse nate of lead to fifty gallons of water is effective. At times it is necessary to use five pounds of arsenate of lead to) fifty gallons of water as some insects di not readily succomb to a small amount! of the poison. J "The dry sprays are applied in a pow-j dered form, and there are a number oi these on the market, including several tiranrla nf rviarrlereil araatidlN if lal I I'aris green and arsenate of lead, when pure, are as efiicient as any, although at the present time I'aris green is more in use than the the other. I'aris green applied to plants in an unadult ratel condition may seriously burn the foli age. To obviate this difficulty it should be mixed with 20 or 25 pounds of air slaked lime, fine road dust or wheat flour for every pound of the I'aris green This may be applien with a dust gun or sifted on the plants by means of gunny sack. Hellebore in a powdered form and fresh is valuable for poisoning such insects as injure small fruits or vegetables wliich are ready for market and thus are too far advanced for poison to be desirable. It should be dusted over them when they are wet with dew.
