0. T. McWorter Explains
Methods of Controlling
Strawberry Pests
SILVERTON HHiLS, May 1 1 6
Two kinds of r root vreavil, the
root borer, and the' spittle Tu&
all enemies of the - strawberry
grower, came In for a good share
of the discussion hy O., : T. Me
"Worter at Silvertoa- Hills. Com
munlty hall Friday night. rvThe
lecture was sponsored by the SU
Terton Hills grange. -
"There are." said Mr. McWort
er. two general types of root
we&Tll. The first is the -one where
the ad alt comes out ijn -.March.
This is bronie orgray VeaTil
and is called the, , native " root
weaTil. The second Variety is that
in which the adult cosies out as
the Marshall begin to ripen.
This is known as the - common
we&Tll and is brown or black.
"All . of the damage done by
both of thco is while in the lar
vae stage when they feed en the
roots. The time to place the
first one is from the first or the
middle of April, and for the com
mon - weavll lust as the ' berries
besla to turn. There are some
good prepared poisons .or you
can make your own by getting
the - formula from the Oregon
State college extension station.
Bait Effective
"In placing the bait put around
a half teaspoon ral right down on
the crown of the plant and do
not spread it around. If you hare
both varieties of the weavil, bate
twice. If it rains yon may also
have to bait twice. From 40 to
50 pounds an acre is sufficient.
If you. get the poison on before
the adult lavs tne eggs. you can
get; from 95to 100 per cent of
them. Tnls is no experiment out
a sure thing that has been tested
out and proved successful.
- - The root borer," "'McWorf er
continued, "Ir another story. He
bores right down into the crown
of the plant and stays there to
feed on the heart of it. In June
he comes out. A yet no success
ful method of poisoning him has
been discovered. No one has
found out what bait this ' moth
will eat. In this ' way the root
borer is . more dreaded than - the
weavil which we ' can now . con
trol. Many things have been tried
and some have . been reported to
help the control of the borer. I
will give them to you for what
they are worth but I do not-say
that any of them - will control
him. . , i
"There are those who say that
when they cut off the tops of the
plants after the picking Is com
pleted the moth does not seem to
lav as many eggs In these leaf
less plants. Other growers leave
a row of plants with the leaves
on and cut the tops of the re
mainder. Growers who nave done
this say that the moth , lays -the
greater amount of the eggs in the
plants with the tops and when
I this row is removed a great many
1 or the borers are destroyed. In a
larser. patch more rows would
have tou be Iert. The plants thus
dus up should be burned so that
the eggs woud be completely de
stroyea.
Hnittle Bnsr Pound
"As to thespittl bug if vou
had got after him three, weeks
ago you could have killed the
largest percentage bv Just dust
ing with hydrated lime. Early in
the game this will get at least 90
per cent of the spittle bugs and
will cost you but around 75c an
acre. Now - when the spittle bug
has reached Its present age stong
- er methods seem necessary. A
. two -per cent nicotine dust, which
is a mixture ol 47 M hydrated
lime and 1, nicotine sulphate,
seems effective. This wiir cost
from six to ten dollars an acre
Tne oust must oe mixed very
well.' . - : : .
"There Is a Question of wheth
er the nicotine dust will flavor
the berries. Chemists seem to be
of the opinion that it will not
, flavor them. However. I ad v tee
you to talk to the man who is to
buy your berries before yon use
. it, , . -
"You can still use It - on the
Etterbergs with all safety because
they have not . adTanced - far
enough to Injure. And it. may not
injure tne Marshall at all."
Wilt la Found
McWorter touched brieflv on
leaf spot and advised that where
the leaves show this the tops pf
the plants should be cut offhand
burned. He also mentioned that
the college . experiment . station
a. . a . . .
na oeen getting reports of a
strawberry -wilt appearing upon
plants on new land. He asked
that anyone finding this in his
fields report to (he college, so
that tne men experimenting wlih
it can find to what a degree it has
entered Oregon and also its
. seeming cause. -
(The, speaker also advised that
piant : oreeding. and . selection
should be looked, upon as seriou
Jy as breeding and selection in
poultry and animals. ..
"Go through your fields." : he
said, -and stake off good healthy
plants and' do not let-each one
.set more than half a tloxen run
ners. Use these runners for your
new fields. . r i
- McWorter also advised shallow
cultivation late ; in r the 1-season.
"Just enough to keep two inches
of ground loose on top and the
weens out or the war." .-
McWorter'a talk was-followed
: by the regular meeting of the
grange.. v , .'

Early Adventures of George
Gay llecalled by Recent:
1 Dedication of Marker
DALLA
TIES
By MRS. ALLYH NUSOM
It 13 interesting to know some
thing of the life of . the patriot.
George Gay, who helped . found
tho provisional government at
Champ'oegr,1 May 2, 1848. The
memorial dedicated to him Wed
nesday, near .Wheatland was one
event in a series of dedications of
tablets which mark the last meet
ing places of pioneers present at
Champoes when the provisional
government was established.
George ! Gay, . founder. and
builder of the first brick' house in
Oregon was born in Gloucester
shire, England in 178 S and died
October 7,' 1882. He was gener
ous, kind and well-liked by all
who knew him. His nature is said
to have been versatile. He loved
to travel. ;
Often his pretty Indian wife
accompanied him. Her duties
were to take care of his children-,
his horses , and his household.
Many times his adventures took
him Into serious encounters with
the Indians, and he was often in
Imminent ...danger i of losing his
life. Once he received a stone ar
rowhead in his back. ' - j
Came' in 18SS 5 ,
In 1835 he became a member
of John Turner's .overland party
to' Oregon. Two members .of this
party were killed and others
wounded at 'the "Point of the
Rocks" on the Rogue' river when
they were attacked by 'Indians.
The five survivors after reaching
the head of the Willamette differ
ed as to the courses to take. Gay,
the adventurer, decided to -strike
out alone. The party needed
shoes. He cut up his buckskin
breeches and made moccasins for
all. He made the 500 mile -solo
tramp naked except for his shirt;
and was nearly eaten alive by mo
squitoes in the Columbia bottoms.
He reached Sauvies Islands, the
others arrived at a mission near
Salem In a half starved condition.
Took Homestead
- When Gay decided to ' settle
down he was some SO odd, years
of. age. He took up a homestead
near Wheatland; and built Ore
gon's first brick house in 184 S.
