Spray Controls Wooly Aphis.
Wooly aphis on fruit trees can best
be controlled by spraying with a com
bination of lime-sulfur and miscible
oil applied in late winter. Regular
dormant strength lime-sulfur, 12 to
100, is used ,to which is added 2
gallons of heavy miscible oil to each
100 gallons of dilute spray. The oil
should be diluted with an equal quan
tity of water, while agitated vigorous
ly. The oil emulsion is then added
slowly to the spray mixture when the
tank is nearly full and while the wat
er is well agitated. Choose a period
of clear settled weather for the ap
plication of the spray.
Fruit Canners Helped.
Northwest fruit canners and pack
ers have a chance to attend the first
canners' school ever offered in the
north Pacific district, beginning Jan
uary 30 and ending February 24. This
is a service course designed to take
o a
the college horticultural products sec
tion, the first and oldest in the United
States, to the canner. How to con
trol organisms in fruit and vegetable
products, their relation to ripening
and preserving, bacteria in food pre
servation, and other problems funda
mental to the canning industry, will
be explained in the light of recent in
vestigation by the college experiment
station. Adjustment and repair of
seaming machines will be in charge
of a representative of the American
Can company.
O. A. C. Jerseys, Front.
Eight cows, half-sisters, sired by
Maple Park Chief, an O. A. C. station
registered Jersey, have completed
their first-calf records with an aver
age yield of 8272 pounds milk and
441.4 pounds butterfat per year at
2 1-2 years of age. . The dams of these
cows were all sired by Golden Glow's
Chief and averaged 555.4 pounds of
fat at 5 1-2 years. These yields are
equivalent to a mature basis of 574.7
pounds fat for the mothers and 603.3
pounds for the daughters a gain of
7 per cent in one generation.
Spring Seeding for Pastures.
Spring seeding for pasture may be
done at this time. A good mixture
for well drained lands of western Ore
gon is English rye grass 6 pounds;
Kentucky blue grass, 3 pounds; mead
ow fescue, 3 pounds; timothy, 2
pounds, and white clover 1 pounds.
O. A. C. Experiment station.
Peach Leaf Curl.
Letters come to the plant patholo
, gy department each year from farm
ers who have lost their peach crop
because of peach leaf curl. This dis
ease can easily be controlled with one
thorough spraying with Bordeaux
6-6-50, applied before the buds swell.
It is best to choose a bright dy in
January for this work. O. A. C. Ex
periment station.
Re-Seeding Wheat.
Eastern Oregon farmers reseeding
fields of partially frozen out wheat
should use spring varieties as nearly
similar to the partial stand as pos
sible. Federation, hard federation,
and Baart are good to sow with forty
fold. Marquis and even Hybrid 123
may be used in reseeding Turkey red.
Hlbrid 143 is a good variety to use
in reseeding white clubs of the win
ter habit. O. A. C. Experiment sta
tion. Tree Pruning.
Fruit trees tha tare allowed to grow
thick and bushy from lack of proper
pruning cannot well be thoroughly
sprayed. See that the spring prun
ing leaves the trees thinned out
enough to admit an abundance of air
and sunlight as this practice will tend
to prevent the development of dis
eases and will make the regular

Campaign for Farm
Mrs. E. B. Andrews of this city is ac
tively interested in the campaign to
raise funds for the children's farm
home, to be established three miles
from Corvallis, for the care of orphan
ed and dependent children. Mrs. El
la M. Shandy is assisting her.
The farm is to be a real home, as
distinguished from . an institution,
where children, who cannot be legal
ly adopted or placed jn permanent pri
vate homes, may be reared under
Christian influence. The Oregon
Agriculutral college will assist in the
matter of farm management and in
vocational training for the boys and
girls in the house.
The farm will be under the direct
care of the Woman's Christian Tem
perance union, but will be a seperate
corporation and will have the support
of the entire citizenship of the state.
The officers and board o ftrustees con
sist of public-spirited men and women
with no selfish interests to be served
and who are giving time and money
to the project with no compensation
of any sort. All funds will be used
strictly for the purpose intended and
the home will be as nearly self-sustaining
as possible.
. Liberal gifts have been made for the
preliminary work, but payments must
be made soon on the farm and it is
hoped that funds will be available
for the construction of buildings by
summer. The maintenance for the
first year is assured.
The Great Need.
The world is needing you and me
In places where we ought to be;
Somewhere today it's needing you
To stand for what you know is true,
And needing me somewhere today
To keep faith, let come what may.
The world is needing me and you
To share the tasks it has to do; -It
needs high-minded men to stand
Against the thoughtless of the land;
Men who will scorn to stoop to
wrong,
To win the favor of the throng.
The world needs humble men to toil
Men who will till a patch of soil;
Men who behind their work can see
More ' than its gold and silver fee,
And choose t oserve where best they
can
Their country and their fellowman.
The world needs honest men today
T olead its youth along the way,
Men who will write in all their
deeds
The beauty of their spoken creeds
On which deceit must leave its stain, i
The world needs men who will not
brag,
Men who will honor Freedom's Flag,
Men who, although the way is hard,
Against the lure of shame will guard.
The world needs gentle men and
true
And calls aloud to me and you.
The world needs men of lofty aim,
Not merely men of skill and fame,
Not merely leaders, wise and grave,
Or learned men or soldiers brave,
But men whose lives are fair to see,
Such men as you and I can be.

HOW TO PROPOGATE
FIT NURSERY STOCK
The propagation of nursery stock is
of vital importance to, and in reality
the very foundation of the fruit in
dustry, yet how careless many grow
ers are in selecting the stock they
buy! One cannot judge the true
worth of nursery stock by its appear
ance as there are so many little de
tails involved in its production which
influence the quantity and quality of
fruit the trees will produce.
There is a tremendous significance
in blood, both in human beings and in
animals. It is truly remarkable what
has been accomplished in breeding up
livestock to a state of excellence.-So
it is an indisputable fact that nursery
men in general are not modern or up
to date in methods relating to the pro
pogation of nursery stock.
The growers are more to tlame for
existing conditions than the nursery
men as they do sot demand superior
stock and many of them would not
pay the difference in price between
high grade and inferiou stock.
In the production of high grade nur
sery stock there are three essentials
to be considered. First comes the lo
cation and climate in which it is rais
ed. I would prefer home grown
stock, but if this is no tobtainable, I
would recommend getting stock from
a more rigorous climate than our own.
The second matter of importance is
the origin. In propagating nursery
stock, one must remember that some
varieties of trees are susceptible to
almost every disease existing, while
others again are vigorous, hardy and
immune from such ailments. As in
livestock, so in fruit, some crosses
will not blend, the offspring being
unsightly and tending to degeneracy
than rather to invigoration. The root
is the primary factor of the tree for
the vigor, longevity, productiveness
and quality of fruit depend largely
upon it.
The third essential is that the land
should be in a high state of cultiva
tion with - deep, rich soil and good
drainage. The size of tree desired
and the early maturity of the wood
can be regulated by cultivation of the
land and proper irrigation. Many
nurserymen are trying to raise stock
on impoverished land entirely unfit
for what was expected of it, and in
order to get trees of the required
size, they use too much water and also
use the water too late in the season
to allow the trees' to ripen thorough
ly before fall frosts attack them. There
are other reasons that would lead one
to condemn nursery stock besides the
fact of its being diseased, stunted,
inbred, mongrel or because of poor
workmanship in grafting and budding.

Dormant Pruning Makes Big Apples.
(By E. G. Wood.)
Horticulturist, Washington.
Orchardists are, wondering how to
make their fruit trees and particularly
their winesap and Jonathans produce
bigger apples. Moderately heavy
dormant pruning will induce these
trees lacking vigor to produce a more
vigorous growth and as a result they
will tend to produce larger apples.
Fertilization for the soil, pruning,
thinning and irrigation must all be
given careful attention to increase the
size of the apples ard make orchard
ing profitable. However, every or
chardist will soon be pruning and
chardist will soon be pruning and
pruning suggestions are in order.
While trees are young they produce
large fruit because they have the vi
tality. As they grow older a greater
proportion of their vitality is spent in
fruit production and less in wood, and
the trees overhead. A tree that ov
erbears is undervigorous, and to in
crease its vigor and make it bear reg
ular crops of large fruit is the prob
lem. Pruning, in its relation to thin
ning, deals with the fruiting wood and
top of the tree as a whole while thin
ning deals with the individual fruit,
spur. When fruit spurs become too
old, they become weak and bear small
fruit or none at all. Moderately heavy
pruning will help keep the spurs vig
orous and induce the growth of new
fruiting wood in the tree with a sup
ply of vigorous spurs.
The size of the apple is dependent
to a considerable degree on the am
ount of the flow of elaborated sap it
receives. It has been observed that
the larger apples on a tree are on
the stockier branches where the chan
nels carrying the sap are the larg
est. A large amount of leaf surface of
healthy vigorous leaves is required
to produce stocky branches and large
fruit. Trees need to be pruned suf
ficiently heavy to re-establish the pro
per balance between wood and fruit
production.
Poultry Raising Means Steady Work.
"Don't expect to retire on a psul
try farm. It means an all day job
365 in the year." This warning was
sounded by A. G. Lunn, professor of
poultry husbandry in an address dur
ing Farmers' Week.
"Men enter the poultry business ex
pecting to get rich quick," continued
Professor Lunn, "and many dissap
pointments result. No branch of
farming requires more business abili
ty and in no other line must details
be watched so carefully." -
The outlook for a continued demand
from the east for poultry products is
no tbright, according to him. On the
other hand, as poultry production is
the east increases, the Pacific North
west will become the logical source of
improved breeding stock.
Fowls in this section need not be
confined through the winter months
as in the east thus hatchability and
adding vigor to the young stock. The
poultrymen of the coast must meet
the condition -of lower prices by cut
ting costs of production, and increas
ing individual and flock yields.

on time deposits,
the professor. "They are the stock,
the man and the type of the business.
Poultry keeping is being broken up
into its specialties such as hatcheries,
pullet raising, egg production, or the
raising of fowls for market. Begin
ners often are successful in the poul
try business as they are often more
enthusiastic than the man who by
close attention for several years has
had his enthusiasm dulled by close at
tention and lack of time to see what
other poultrymen are doing."
The man who feels that he wants
to go into the poulary business on a
large scale was advised first to work
on a poultry farm for a year. Con
ditigns ought not to be judged by the
pleasant surroundings and general en
thusiasm which are common . in the
early spring. . Get acquainted with
the work in the mud and rain of win
ter. This is the real test of a poul
tryman's inclination.
"Egg production on the college farm
has increased from 90 to 200 eggs
per hen in 19 years. The 300 egg
hen is becoming more common every
year and the flock which can average
300 eggs is becoming a possibility.
Progress in Wireless.
It cannot 'be other than a tremen
dous satisfaction to Marconi to have
lived to witness the universal use of
his discovery of how to hurl a mes
sage through air across oceans to ships
and over continents to cities, thou
sands of miles apart. What hardly
20 years ago was almost a miracle, to
be performed only be experts and sci
entists, has now become so easily
done and understood, that some 60,
000 amateurs, chiefly boys in their,
teens with attenaae raised from barn
or ridgepole, daily and nightly pick
up messages from points thousands of
miles distant, or listen to lectures,
concerts and grand opera delivered
far from their homes. While it yet
seems a long way off, it is unlikely
that before another 20 years shall have
passed we may be provided with in
struments which anyone can conveni
entsly carry in his pocket and so con
verse with home or office while walk
ing from one to the other .
