FARM POINTERS
Liming tho soil contributes to
the efficiency of manure. It also
protects inoculation and substan
tially adds to the capacity of the
bacteria and plants to utilize free
atmospheric nitrogen reports the
experiment station.
In Irrigating potatoes, the av
erage amount of water giving most
percentage returns In many years
experiments on the station grounds
at Corvallls Is 3.7 Inches per acre.
The total wator consumed, Includ
ing soil and rain wator, was 9.5
inches. The average yield waH
280.6 bushels obtained at a water
cost of 565 pounds of total wator
consumed to tho pound of dry mat
ter produced.
Experiments by the Oregon sta
tion indicate that sulfur is an es
pecially critical element In plant
growth, but that only a small
amount is neeessnry. Yields have
been Increased and water require
ments strikingly decreased by add'
lng a little sulfur when this ele
ment la low.
A practical means of replenish
lng and maintaining organic mat
tor in solla in Oregon is cover crops
Because of mild winters In western
Oregon theso cover crops are us
ually barley and common vetch,
Crois for this purpose should be
sown before the fall rains begin, at
tho rate of 30 to 40 pounds of
VL-toh and 25 to 30 pounds of bar
ley. In the spring they are turn
ed under.
Oregon farmers usually prefer
to usu limestone which contains
some rock ground to a dust pow
der and some which Is ground to
pass through a 10 mesh sieve. The
fine Ftono sweetens the soil kulckly
and tho coarser material remains
to keep it sweet.

ARSENICAL DUST DEATH

ntatlon. Calcium nrnenato in the

toxic than lead arsenate and there
la little danger of burn on the rah
bige from this material. Powder
ed lead arsenate can be used, how
ever, If calcium arsenate Is not
ivnllnble.
The powdered poison la mixed

Tho third codling moth spray in
Willamette valley apple and pear
orchards will be due not later than
AugUKt 8, according to reports
from tho experiment station. The
first moths of the Hecond genera
tion appeared In tho rearing cage
at tho atation July 2i,
The maximum number of moths
Is expected (hiring the first week
of August. Tho egg hatching per
iod will begin about August 3, nnd
the peak of the hatch will prob
ably be about the middle of Aug'
uut. -
The poison cover spray mut bo
on tho foliage of tho pears and ap
ples before the worms hatch if the
fruit Is to be properly protected,
Increasing, the dosage to five
pounds of arsenate of lead to 200
ganons or water is a frequent prac
tice witn this spray, if this snrav
Is on the fruit nnd foliage when the
new worms arrive .and begin to
oat, their first meal is more than
likely to prove their last.
This Is the third regular codling
moth spray, known to growers as
the August cover spray. Its date
varies -with the weather and other
conditions, making it difficult for
the growers to know just the right
time to npply It. Tho station is
able to learn the time of hatching
oy ooserving motns in the breed
ing cages.
The information Is sent to the
growers through cooperative news
papers. The moth children, tho
worms, are so skilful In their ef
forts to see the inside of the nic
est apples that It takes the com
bined efforts of station. newsDan
er.( and growers to keep them from
doing It. With this combination
woraing euecessiti iv. the worms
are balked and turned to tiny bits
of fertilizer on the apples or pears
before they can reach the Inside
or the fruit.
'"ield observations are made bv
me station entomology department
staff members "to check" on the
breeding cage estimates. The can-
tive moths In the station cagca are
taken from pupae transformed
from worms that were in little ap
ple picked up from under the
trees last spring. They go thru
the same changes as free worms.

COUNTIES LESS
G. G. Brown clerk of the state
land board today announced the
annual net apportionment to" the
counties of interest from the state
school fund to be $373,273.50,
which is $18,089.54 less than in
1924 and $27,020.01 less than in
1923. The decrease :s due to the
increase In the number of persons
of school age in the counties, the
apportionment being made on a
per capita basis.
In 1924 the total was $391,363.04
with the total number of persons
of school age 238,636 and the per,
capita $1.64. In 1923 the total
was $400,299.51, with the total per
sons of school age 231,387 and the
percaplta $1.73. This year the
persons of school age in the state
number 248,849 and the per capita
is $1.60.
