CODLIN MOTH SPRAY
Something Farmers " Ask For
Also the Paris Green Mixture.
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.

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.
