J. P. DODCE, Secretary. BERT R. GREER, Chairman. 233,000Jfor State Aid for Highways At a recent meeting of the state highway commission In Salem, all but $71,000 of the 1916 state road funds was apportioned out among the vari ous counties who are to receive state aid. Jackson county Is to receive the $45,000 which was agreed upon sub sequent to the county's voting the $500,000 roads bond Issue. Wasco county will receive $90,000 in the next two years, providing that the county votes certain bonds for the building of a highway from Mo Bler to Fairbanks. The resolution for the Bend-Crater Lake road calls for $10,000 with the condition that the appropriation, be supplemented by an equal amount by the county court of Crook county, and the entire amount to be expended under the direction of the state high way commission. For this road the commission has particularly In mind the demonstration of the best meth od of utilizing lava cinders in scien tific highway construction. Another resolution directed the en gineer of the highway commission to embody in all future contracts the re quirement that all employes working for the contractor or any work em bodied in such contracts shall be pro tected by insurance such as is offered by the state industrial insurance com mission, and that arrangements be made to cover all employes of the highway commission by Insurance of fered by the industrial Insurance commission. Delegates were present at the meeting from Wasco, Hood River, Clatsop, Columbia and Tillamook counties, setting forth their pleas for a portion of the highway funds. Mr. Steel of Jackson county made a plea for assistance In securing a survey for the proposed road from Trail to Crater Lake park. The board has taken the several petitions under its advisement. Standard legal blank forms oi every kind may be procured at the Tidings office in any quantity. GOTHIC THE NEW ARROW 2 for 25C COLLAR IT FITS THE CRAVAT CLUCTT. PCABODV 4 CO.. INC., MAKERS In J. P.

Scab on pear and apple Is one of the worst pests in the Rogue River valley. If not kept under control it will prove to be a very serious men ace to the fruit industry, as has al ready been demonstrated during the past season. Life History. It Is important that every rrult grower be familiar with the life his tory of this disease in order that he may successfully combat it. Infec tion takes place from two distinct kind of spores: first, those which develop during the spring and sum mer In spots on the leaves, fruit and sometimes twigs; second, those which develop during the winter inside the fallen leaves. At this time of the year the sum mer spores or conidisospores may be found In the olive-green spots on leaves, fruit and in some cases twigs. The spots produced by the early In fection will usually appear cracked and corky, but will still have the gpores around the edges. The spots produced by a later infection will ap pear smaller and will probably be en tirely covered with spores. These summer spores, as a rule, do not live through the winter. Just below each spot, and extend ing under the surface of the leaf, will be found a mass of thread-like fila ments which which. are called the mycelium. At about the time wheu the leaves fall, this mycelium begins to grow throughout the whole inner tissue of the leaf. From this mycli urn, and between the two leaf sur faces, spore fruiting bodies begin to develop in late fall and early winter. They do not mature, however, until spring when the blossom buds begin to come out. The spore fruiting bodies are hol low, flask shaped, and appear from the outside like little black pimples, often so small as to be invisible to the naked eye. They have a small open ing at the surface of the leaf, which is protected by spines that surround It. InBide the spore fruiting bodies there are many elongate, sack-like bodies called ascl, each of which con tains eight winter spores or asco spores. When these mature, they push out through the opening in the leaf surface and shoot out the spores, which are carried by the wind and air currents into the trees. It is these winter spores that cause the first spring infection. From the winter spores, then, the olive-green surface spots develop. These spots soon begin to produce large numbers of summer spores, which are blow to other parts of the trees and continue to cause new in fection as long as conditions are fa vorable. Moist, damp, cloudy weath er is especially favorable for the spread of scab. Methods of Control. The first step that should be taken against scab this fall is to plow un der the fallen leaves and in this way prevent the winter spores from get ting out onto the trees in the spring. A permanent cover crop grown in an infested orchard is a serious handicap in combatting the scab in as much as it prevents the plowing under of the leaves. In the spring just about the time that the tips of the leaves begin to push through the buds, apply lime sulphur at the rate of 1 gallon to 9 gallons of water plus black leaf 40, 1 pint to 150 gallons of the spray, as a general clean-up spray. Just after the cluster buds have opened, while the leaves are still ex panding and the blossom buds are still in a compact clump in the cen ter, spray with lime-sulphur, 1 gallon to 20 gallons of water. The next spray should be applied as the blossom buds separate in the cluster, but before they have opened. This is known as the "pink spray," and is considered the most Important spray for scab. Use lime-sulphur at the rate of 1 gallon to 30 gallons of water. Make another application in com bination with the calyx spray for cod ling moth, after most of the petals have fallen. Use either lime-sulphur at the rate of 1 gallon to 35 of the arsenate spray, or atomic sulphur at the rate of 12 pounds per 100 gallons of lead arsenate. If the scab is very bad, and the weather l8 favorable for its develop ment, It Is advisable to make still an other application ten days to two weeks after the calyx spray, using either lime-sulphur at the rate of 1 gallon to 35 of water, or atomic sul phury the rate of 12 pounds to 100 gallons of water. In any case where previous infec tion has been light, or where weather conditions prevent the application of the -first spray on time as specified In these directions, then, In that case, the first spray may be omitted and the second spray applied as directed, with the addition of black leaf 40 at the rate or 1 pint to 150 gallons of the spray material. Every grower should be prepared to spray at Just the ri;;ht time in or der to net results. He should plan ahead anil have his spray materials In readiness when the time for applica tion conies. h. G. CENTNER, Acting Pathologist, Jackson Co. Reading Circle Teachers' Course Injured Workmen Want Lump Sums Sixty-six per cent of the Oregon workmen who suffered permanent partial disabilities such as the loss of fingers, toes or an eye during the first year of operation of the indus trial accident commission elected to take their compensation in lump sums. For such injuries the com pensation law allows the laborers the option of taking their payment in payments of $25 monthly or in single payments of amounts somewhat less than the total of the installment pay ments. The theory of the Oregon law Is that compensation should be made by monthly payment. For the Injuries which more seriously cripple or hand icap th" workman, such as the loss of a foot or an arm, compensation is restricted to payment in monthly In stallments. The first annual report of the commission states that the fii'Bt year's experience shows the law ap plying to Injuries In which the op tion of a lump payment or monthly payments is allowed is not generally understood, and offers the following illustration and example: A workman losing an entire thumb and being unable to work for two months would be entitled to a monthly payment during that period as follows: Where the wage at the time of injury was $1.92 per day or less, single workmen, $30; married, $36; and $6 additional for each child under 16 years of age, with a maximum monthly payment per fam ily of $50. These minimum pay ments are made regardless of how small the wage of the workman may be. Where the workman is receiv ing a wage of more than $1.92 per day, these payments may be Increased by 50 per cent, but the Increase can not operate to make the total month ly payment exceed 60 per cent of the wages received by the workman at the time of the accident. The law provides twenty-four monthly payments of $25 each for the loss of a thumb. The workman being able to resume his employment at the end of two months, and having been paid during these two months according, to the above schedule, would then be entitled to twenty-two further monthly payments of $25 each, or the payment in a lump sum of $550. Where compensation, how ever, is taken in a lump sum for the loss of the first, second or third fin gers, or for the loss of an eye, the act provides a lump sum payment some what less than would be received if the workman chose to take compensa tion in monthly Installments. Applications were received for lump sums from workmen suffering the loss of an arm or a foot. In one instance it was desired to pay off a mortgage on a small farm, in another case the money was to be used in pur chasing a relinquishment on a land claim, while in others the injured workmen wished to engage In some small business enterprise. In several cases, also, Injured workmen request ed payment of lump sums sufficiently large to purchase artificial arms or legs. The commission, however, after carefully considering the terms of the law, became convinced that it was without authority to make lump sum payments in these cases, and there fore felt compelled to refuse awardB of this character. While authority is given the com mission, in Jts discretion, to make lump sum payments under certain conditions in fatal cases, no applica tions for such awards were made dur ing the first twelve months. State Superintendent of Public In struction Churchill announces that he has completed the arrangements for the reading circle course for teachers, and that this year the read ing will be under the supervision of the University of Oregon and the Oregon Agricultural College. The course Is more complete than any heretofore Issued, it is said, the list of books being larger, and most of them new. Full descriptions are given of the books in order that the teachers may experience no trouble In selecting those that will be of the most aid to them. Under the law, every teacher must read at least one book each year pertaining to the profession of teaching, and the books must be selected by the superintendent of public Instruction. Following are the books selected: TSagley, 'School Discipline' Char ters, "Teaching the Common Branches"; Cooley, "Domestic Art in Woman's Kducntion"; Crashaw, "Manual Arts for Vocational Ends"; Cromwell, "Agriculture and Life"; Davis, "Vocational and Moral Guid- Earhart, "Types of Teach Foster, "The Social Emer Iiart,' "Educational Re sources of Village and Rural Com munities"; Monroe, "Principles or Secondary Education"; Morgan, "The Backward Child"; Munroc, "New Demands in Education"; Parker.

Mr. Olds states that Interest In this con test is keen' throughout the Okano gan district, which he visited recent ly. "We already have three entries from that district," states Mr. Olds. "They have some splendid fruit up there this year, particularly In the Delicious, Winter Banana, Jonathan and Wlnesap- varieties. "Growers and shippers with whom I have talked declare that the ship pers' 100-box contest is going to da an Immense amount of good from an educational standpoint. The shippers will arrange their products in such a way as to make the most effective advertising displays, using their trademarks and brands prominently.
