As the time tcr spraying for codlin moth is rear at band, farmers, fruifmen and others are beginning to inquire tor tbe for mula for the spray that is; used for this destructive pest. Fortu nately for all Prof. A B. Cord ley of OAC has jnst issued an in s'ructive bulletin that contains the desired information, which is here given tor the benefit of all interested. The "Arsenate of Lead" for mula is as follows: Arsenate of soda 4 ounces Acetate of lead 11 ounces . Water 1 5 to 20 gallons "Dissolve the arsenate of soda in two quarts and tne acetate or lead in four quarts of warm wa ter. When dissolved add them to therequired amount' ot water. This formula is especially valua ble for spraying very " delicate foHage or for use against insects, which are kiiled only by large amounts of poison, since it can be used noon plants in much stronger solutions than the other food poisons without injury to the foilagv. Our results for the past two years show this to be among the best, if not the very best, of the remedies now used for the coilin moth. For the first spraying, soon after -be netals fall. I still prefer to use Paris green, but for later applica tions, I prefer to use the arsenate of Tead. Last season one spray ing with Paris green followed by four applications of arsenic of lead gave 98 per cent of apples free from worms. On check trees not sprayed approximately 40 per ent of the fruit was wormy. "Several brands of prepared aisenic of lead, among which the "Swift's Arsenic of Lead" are on the market and can be used in place ot the above preparation if prefen ed. The Paris Green formula is as follows: Paris green 1 pound Quick lime 4 to 5 pounds Water 160 to 200 gallons His Funeral.' Full particulars of the funeral of the late Oscar Healy were not obtainable in - Corvallis in time for the last issue of the Gazette, but they are given in the Leb anon Express Advance as fol lows: ! Oscar Healy died at his home in Portland on the 12th of April, 1907, of pneumonia, after an ill ness of one week aged 52 years, Deceased formerly lived in . this vicinity and had many friends in this section. : He was an upright, honest man, and was held in the highest esteem by all who knew him. The remains were brought to Lebanon Saturday afternoon for interment, Mrs. Healy, wife of the deceas ed, his two sons, " Bert and Ray, and his sister, Mrs. M. Scott, of Salem, accompanied the remains to this place. The pallbearers were members of the Modern Woodmen lodge of Corvallis, of which deceased was a member. Funeral services were held in the Baptist church, conducted by Rev. M. Noble, of LaCamas, Wash., a former pastor of the d2ceased. The Modern Woodr m jn conducted the services at th3 grave, Senator Miller assist- ',in. -'onic Interment was in the Mas cemetery. Interesting to Q-at Men. The question of the advisabil ity of grading tnohtir has been raised again says the A?ricuU"r ist. " Mr. Metzer, of Portlai d. states that his instructions from ttl lara. mille tnr arhlh lit. Hfic is not to buy the low r grades of' mohair if it can be . avoided For that reason j he say. if pools on lots ot mohair are graded he can make offers only for the bet ter grades. If this is the case with other buyers, and we presume it is, it will tend to prevent the grading of pools. ' We recogu ze the fact that 'it is hard to change estab lished methods of doing business, but the practice of selling hair in pools at one price to all tends to make the grades ; produced worse instead of better. In the Wil lamette Valley it has . been the practice j to " pay practically the same price for all grades o coarse and middle wools and the result basbeen to; encourage - the pro duction, of " excessively coarse wools. If the -system of selling mohair in pools ungraded cou 'tinues it will surely result in the average quality of the hair in such pools getting coarser and less valuable. This will come about in two ways. The men who are growins fine mohair will more and ' more keep out of the pools and the men who stay with the : pools will breed for quantity instead of quality of mohair and will naturally in crease the proportion of coarse hair they produce. Big Things Doinjr. At Toledo a big 100,000 foot per day sawmill is just about com pleted and arrangements progres sing toward the construction of a logging road into the timber lands to supply the big mill. . At Yaquina preliminary ar rangement have been made for the extension of the railroad on to Newport and thus give an all rail route to the popular Lincoln county seaside resort. At Yaquina a company has leased a considerable water front and a wharf is to be immediately constructed and two steam schoon ers put on for the San Francisco trade. The company putting in the wharf is interested in the manufacture of lumber farther up Yaquina river and proposes to have an outlet for their output by boats to Frisco. The probabilities of railroads building into that section in the not distant future are great, in fact surveys have been made al ready and from present indica tions the Yaquina Biy country will move along at a rapid pace from now on. Ex. Sermon by 'Phone. There need be no more mak ing excuses for not being present at your regular church services. No one will know but what you heard it all by 'phone at home, so great are the inventions of the present day. - Over in Albany, Sunday.'sixty people who were not present lis tened to Rev. White, pastor 0' the TJaited Presbyterian church, while he preached to a large audience who were in attendance. The "Christophone," installed last week in the church by Mana ger DeVarney of th Home Tele phone company, furnished the means by which the absentees were eaabied to bear the entire chuich service. The instrument is the latest invention in the tele phone world, and the one in stalled in the United Presbyterian church there is the first ever tried on the Pacific Coast. ' i be initial trial was a com plete success. Parties in Scio -tnd Corvailis, who were "con siecled" with the church, Sunday morning, wtrs able to hear eve'ry Dor'ioa ot the service with no difficult" says an Albany writer. A number of other churches in rise ctv will shortly be provdtd with "Christo ph nes," tor the ue of those who do not find it convenient to atten 1 the church service. Subscribe for the Gazette. DHANK CAR33L18 A51D. Was Former Benton County Bay. -;. The. Funeral Wednesday." The funeral of Thomas Dan nals who committed suicide in Albany Monday, occurred Wed nesday in that city, and was at tended by relatives - from this citvi; Deceased was well known in Benton county, having in boy hood made his home with the Stewart family.'-"' He was an un cle of Mrs. Jennie Grier of this city and has numerous other re latives in Benton and Lincoln counties. The storv of his death is Tel a ted in full in the Herald, as follows: After he had calmly - poured the contents of a viil ot carbolic acid into a cup of coffee, Thomas Dinnals of this city Monday morning swallowed the mixture. He died ' tour hours later. The only words which Dannals utter ed after taking the poison were o his ten vear old son -' Louis. As he staggered and fell to a couch in the family living room. Dannals cried "eoodbye" and almost immediately lapsed into unconsciousness, from which all efforts on the part of the physi cian who had been summoned, failed to revive him. Despond ency because of continued illness believed to hav2 been the man's motive for ending his own life. The awful deed was commit ted just as the family were con cluding breakfast. Mrs. Dan nals had just risen from the table and left the room. After her de parture, Mr. Dannals, who had eaten his meal without showing any sign of his intention to kill himself, poured out some coffee into his cup. He then rose and tepped to an adjoining room He did not close the door, and his son Louis observed him take down a small vial of carbolic acid, pour the contents into the cup, and then drain the whole mixture. So ' quickly, and with such apparent calmness was the deed done, that the youth did not realize what his parent was doing until be cried out, "good bye," and sank onto the couch nearby. When the boy realized what had occurred, he called to his mother, and informed her what bis father had done. Dr. Stark was at once called but efforts to save the unfortunate man's life were unavailing, and he died a few hours later. The desceased was about 6o years old and was employed as nightwatchman in the chair fac tory of R. Veal & Son. He had just returned from his night's vigil, and had eaten his break fast as usual, before retiring. Dannals is said to have been in til health for1 a long time, and this is thought to have caused bins to decide on taking his own life. He leaves a wife, ! one son Louis,' and a , daughter, Sadie. The daughter resides at Inde pendence with her uncle, Geon-e Saell. Dannals was a member of the local lodge oi Maccabees. Strange Accident. Beyond control ana whirling with terrific velocity,' the im mense fiy wheel that drives part of the machinery in the Curtis Lumber Company's big mill at Mills City, new to pieces Mon day afternoon at 2 130 o'clock. Driven on the centrifugal force portions of the large wheel were burled through the roof of the mill, comp'.etely demolishing part of the building. lwo employes, the engineer and the ' filer, had miraculous escaped from death. They were thrown by the force ot th burst ing fly-wheel, clear through the roof of the: :mill, alighting on the ground on the outside. Cal Goddard, the filer, was severely iniuied but the lniunts are not thought to be dangerous. Th engineer sustained painful though not dangerous bruises. Aci to thf fctatt nin those wi were near the seen f the accid. nt, slates the Hei rl, the belt on the fly wheel, v?Y ii is about ten feet in dianu- , suddenh snapped, and thus t-. leased fronj control, the ii wheel w-s driven around wi h terrific velocity, finally flyinu ti pieces That more persons were not hurt is considered almost mir aculous, as many employes were at work near ihe big wheel when it burst. Chunks of iron and steel were thrown over 200 feet in the air, according to reports of eye witnesses.
