' (Following are paragraphs
taken from a current bulletin bf
the department of industrial jour
nalism' of the' Oregon Agricultural
college) : ' !
-'- Celery leaf Bpot in Oregon is
easily ' controlled by systemitic
spraying with Bordeaux 4-4-50 br
by dusting with copper-lime dust,
even before the plants are taken
from nite gteen ' house.: Spraying
or dusting at regular Intervals
throughout the growing season is
recommended by the-experiment
stations "Serious damage to e
celery1 resulted from leaf spot last
year, it' Is reported. , -
Fall crops on thoroughly pre
pared -land' are1 not 'suffering- -yet
from laek 'of moisture' in" most
festerrt ' Oregon districts, accord
ing" to experiment station reports.
Spring crops and fall crops sown
on poorly Tepared land are suffer
ing from the early spring drought
prevalent Over the' entire state of
Oregon. ; ' ' ' '
i. Sheep , breeders of Oregon are
watching for the appearance of
the grub-in-the-head fly. The fly
appears- earryrin -the summer and
lays eggs in the noses of sheep.
The sheep show" marked symptoms
when, the flies are present.' ' They
are annoyed and can1 be seen run
ning, with their noses to the
groiSnd ' and : shaking 4 their- heads
to "keep away - the fly. They will
often" stampede or flock "together
in a compact "mass. The flyl cfcn
be repelled by ' an application of
pine- tar on the nose of the sheep.
The sheep are usually run through
a chute and the, tar put on - the
nose with a stick dipped In warm
tar. Al large nock can be treated
in this manner in a short time, re
ports Dr. B. . T. Simms, professor
of -veterinary medicine at the
college. ' r -'
Results from the use of com
mercial fertilizers are not very
marked in a season of limited
rainfall, ' according to experiment
station results. ,Tne lack of ' in

That Is Advice of Knight
Pearcy; One of Objects ?
of Slogan Pages" .
Knight Pearcy, of Pearcy Bros.,
orchard' experts, 'whose "office is
at 237 State street, Salem, told
the Slogan editor yesterday,' as he
told him last year, that he was too
busy to write an article for this
issue . ' . ' .
But he repeated his advice often
given that .too 'much cannot be
said about the cheapness -of the
prices of land In the Salem dis
trict, and the importance of mak
ing them more valuable by the
growing of the proper crops on
them; the crops in each' case to
wbich the land 1st adapted. '
Beaver dam land,' for instance,

worth 51000 an acre to raise c -ery

cne of a number of other crops. ,
'One. man -'on Labish Meadows

.The important thing is" to put

The Pearcy Bros, handle afll

Well, favorable weather condi
tions have not prevailed. It has
-been too dry; 1 decidedly so ; un-
precedentedly o--the dryest May
In the 'history! of Oregon since it
was settled by the whites; and the
dry May days have spread them
selves-over into 'the part of June
that has so far slid into history, r.
' But There Is Some Lettuce
The' starting of the lettuce in
dustry there was in- Jth nature of
an' 'experiment; rather a large? ex
periment though it Was. It -was
along the line of other experi
ments ' tfiaffhave'"been'"lnade'a"nd
are in the midst of the growers i'b"h
the Labish Meadows lands. A few
years ago the celery-'ihdustry' was
an experiment with that group of
growers but it is far beyond the
experimental stage-now,- wtth- 200
cars shipped last year,' and a pros
pective-crop of 250 'cars -or more
this year. f "
The head, lettuce has. been head
ing to such an extent that three
cars have already gone' to 'market
and . about 1 1500 r crates' have
come- to th Sa-lem markets'.
,There will fikely be about four
or five more cars yet to ship the
present season In - case there Is
"no more raip. There will be more
than four or five more ' cars for
the markets, in case there is rain
soon; right soon. 5
" The lack of rain causes the let
tuce' to'fail to 'head." ." It grows
and makes leaves, but it 'fails to
make heads; 'and head lettuce is
the kind of lettuce they are at
tempting to produce. ' That Is the
kind that brings good prices in
the markets. ' -
But the growers down there are
not discouraged. " They see' that
they have rstarted something.
They will persist, and ' perhaps
there will not be Buch a dry" May
and part of June again for 100
years; and by that time they will
likely be ready to1 do Irrigating in
some rorm that will aid the let
tuce td make heads. "
The Labish Meadows growers,
among their! other 'experiments.
are trying out asparagus on differ
ent types of soil ' and' under dif
ferent kinds of conditions.

That Hatch Maggots I
The cherry maggot that makes
you afraid to eat a cherry In the
dark, is' kept out by three spray
ings with sweetened arsenate solu
tion, 'by the' Oregon experiment
station. The first Is put oh about
the time the Royal Anns begin to
show color about the first week
of June "In many" parts of the
state the next' In 10 days and the
third 7 days later. '
' The maggot " comes from eggs
laid by small flies which usually
appear' June 5;to' 20. . They are
sun" lovers and will sport" around
In the sunshine on the upper sur
face of the outer leaves; ' lapping
greedflythe1 h6riey, dew on the
foliage; or the Sweetened poison.
Egg laying usually -starts within
10" days 'after -the files appear.
Thespray Is applied "before egg
laying- starts, as -the spray is not
Injurious ''to- the' wdrm-'-inside of
the cherry-
. The late' dark meated cherries,
such- as the Late Duke1 atid Lam
bert, are most likely :to be'wormy.
The fruit1 of seedling cherries Is
generally heavily infected and af
fords an ideal -place for propagat
ing the worms because the ' fruit
tends to ripen later and remain on
the tree longer. The earlier white
meated cherries are ' 'probably
rhore commonly Infected than gen
erally 'i supposed.- :The maggot
would naturally be very small at
the " time 1 'these cherries are har
vested and would escape detection.
. The sweetened spray Is'made by
mixing ' lead r arsenate ; one-halt

quarts, ? andrwater ( 10 gallons.
This amount ' is sufficient for
spraying 50 trees. One pint to a
