ley ft VOLUME III. BOARDMAN, MORROW COUNTY," OREGON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1924. NUMBER 51 OIL TO COMBAT SCALE Some of the commercial fruit dis tricts of Washington, Arkansas, am Missouri have, in the past tew year experienced the same discouraginj results with the use of lime-sulfu for combating San Jose scale as ha been the experience of the past sc son here in the Walla Walla Valley Incestigators at the Washington Ex periment Station are of the opinio! that the abundance of scale in thai district the Clarkston area is pro bably largely do to a natural vigoi possesed by the scale as evidenced by its positive tolerance to lime-sulfur. Judging from the careful manner in which some of our infested orchards were sprayed last spring, we can read ily believe that the findings of the Washington Station apply epually as well to the Walla Walla Valley as to the Clarkston area only a short dis tance to the north of us. Whethei or not this condition will be repeated this spring remains to be seen, but such has been the experience of the Growers of the Ozark 1 sgiona for tin past three years. In our u ii district we might do well to prptit by theii experience. During the summer of 1921 entlr. orchards were wiped out by ravagi of the scale in Arkansas. The U.S Bureau of Entomology came to tin rescue with the introduction of oi. emulsions used in the orange districts of Florida for citrus scale. Carei'u Checks of results showed nearly or. hu..ed per cent control of scab wit h the oil as compared with pnlj eighty per cent control using lime sulfur. There was some doubt a; that time as to the safety of using oi on the trees year after year but rt ports as late as September of the pas; year agrees as to its success. Repeated use each year on citrtu trees in Florida has shown no ill ef fects on the bark. Whether or no: it will prove epually as safe on appl. prune, peach, or cherry trees year ir. and year out can not yet be deter mined. Observation have shown that tin engine oil emulsions used in thesi experiments are too strong for the leaves of the stone fruits such a prunes, peaches, ajiricots, and cher ries but are harmless to the leaves oi the apple excepting on very hot days, over 90 degrees temperature. Thus it has been found that, al though their use on the stone fruits must be confined to the dormant sea son of the tree, they may be used ir. the1 "delayed dormant" season o.; the apple trees, the period just fol lowing the dormant season and in which the buds are unfolding, ex posing the young leaves. Apple or :pear trees, then can be freed fro the scale, leaf roller, aphis, and spid er-mite all in one spray by waiting aphis, and spider-mite provided tbi until the delayed dormant period, and in the summer can be Bprayei with the same material for scale aphis, and spider-mite provided tbi work is done in the heat of the da; at times of extreme weather. Certain grades of lubricating oils, emulsified with a solution of a cas in spreader in water, compose th only ingredients of the stpek solution This solution will not corrode the parts of the spray rig, does not ir ritate the skin as does the lime-sulfur can be used with alkali water without gumming or forming a sludge in the spray tank, the oil will not separat. and come to the surface when used in a tank which has also contained lime-sulfur, spreads out evenly on the bark of the tree, and can be made by the grower at approximately one-third the cost of commercial lime sulfur. Directions for preparing these lub-icating-oil emulsions may be obtain ed from the CountyHorticultural In Bpector at Milton. In time for th ' dormant spray on the stone fruits In March a considerable puantity will be made and put out at cost to an;, who wish to give it a trial. This will be continued throughout the season as long as there is a demand for it Arrangements will be made for Its distribution at that time on the Uma tilla Project also. .Meeting at Irrij-on A number of club people from Umatilla went to Irrigon last Satur day night to a joint meeting of the clubs. An interesting meeting wa held and the need of a new bridge across the Umatilla river, and the ways and means to get it were fully discussed. An address was made by Mr. Perley, fuel expert for the O-W. R.& N.Co., in which he told of the needs of the railroad and of the far mer. Samuel H. Boardman of Board man also was present and told of hi1' efforts to have trees planted alo ig the state highways. The highway commission is acting with hitn in this matter and has furnished 2000 trees to be planted at once. After the regular business meeting a lunch was served and a pleasant social hour followed, then dancing until a late hour. Those from Uma tilla were Mr. and Mrs. Roy Paulu, Mr. and Mrs B. S. Hughes, Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Nugent, Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Llewellyn, Mrs. C. C Peck, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Brownell. V. R. Brown ell, E. C. Brownell. Art Hammond was present with the railroad offic ials, Mr Perley, fuel expert, and Wal ter Guilds, assistant superintendent. Noted Army Chaplain Pleads for Babies Rev. Dr. John W, Beard, pas tor of the Mount Tabor Presby terian church, Portland, chaplain of Portland post of the American Legion and chaplnin of one of the companies of the famou3 91st Division overseas, is a strong champion of the cam paign to save German children from starvation and never loses an opportunity to say something for that cause. "We fought and conquered the German militarists," said the noted chaplain, "hut, as Major General Henry T. Allen, com mander of the American troops on the Rhine during the occupa tion, said, 'We never fought children.' We helped win the war as such, but, as when we were fighting the enemy, we bound up his wounds if cap tured, we now shall bind up the terrible wounds inflicted by War's awful fury against these little ones who suffer so. Let's help feed them, by all means." Air in Roams Usually Is Too Dry for Health Most authorities agree that the fac tors that distinguish good from badlr are proper temperature, proper humid ity and adequate movement. The teni peniture of rooms for health Is about 72 degrees Fahrenheit. Must Ameri cana like the temperature much high er and complain of feeling chilly when It Is at this level. Why? The principal reason Is that i he air is too dr-y. Dry air moans that excessive evaporation of moisture takes place from the skin, month and nose, and (his evaporation takes heat away from the body. The worst com bloat ions between temperature and humidity are cold damp air, wunn moist air and excessively dry air arti ficially warmed. The comfort zone lies between CS and 70 degrees Fahrenheit, with a hu midity between 30 and ." per cent. The average indoor room In winter has a humidity between to and 22 per cent, and to offset the great loss of body heat which this causes the tem perature Is kept far too high. Hygela. One of Jock's Tricks Late one night Jock, returning home from work, found a young owl which had fallen from its nest. He picket! up the Injured bird, carried It home, fed It, and at last placed It in a cozy corner of the kitchen fireplace. In the early morning Jock's mother cume down into the kitchen to get breakfast ready for the family, and was startled by the strange object. But .1e soon recovered fsoin her alarm, for she was accustomed to the many tricks of young .Tuck. "That's our Jock at his pranks again !" she smiled. "He's goue and put a beak on the kitten." When a firm, decisive spirit is rec ognized it is curious to see hor the space clears around a man and leaves him room and freedom- John Foster ANYONE WANTING TO TRADE IR rigated lands for Klickitat county, Washington, timber lands kindly write to H.

But when a war is over a sol dier Is glad his shot missed the target as he comes face to face with an enemy he missed. C. Stuart Patterson, the veteran law yer and bank president, told friends a few days ago of a personal experience of that kind. Mr. Patterson was a member of that Philadelphia buttery which embraced so many men. who afterward became distinguished. Including besides him self (onn G- Johnson and "HunsBrelt mumi," celebrated humorist, says Gl rnrd in the Philadelphia Inquirer. In the Gettysburg campaign, Mr. Patterson's battery was sent to Car lisle. The guns were posted In the center (if the town where now runs the rni(road, Gen. "iin'dy" SujtrJl, in civilian dress, was mi the job and strolled out to reeonnolter the position of the Con federate advance. Returning to the town he wiilt-ed up to the Philadelphia artillerymen and said: "There is the enemy, half a mile hi that direction. Yon Bay begin fir ing." n It was In that engagement Mr. Pat terson was wounded. Years afterward be met (Jen. Fitz hugb Lee, who said : "Had you Rimed your shots a few feet to the left of where they Bral fell you would have killed Gen. '.Teh' Stuart and injself. We hail a close call." "That is mie time," replied Mr. P.it terson, "I am glad I Completely missed the mark." I HIGH SCHOOLS ASKED TO SEND nfiPRESKNTATIVES TO CONTEST The high school has been asked to iend a representative to the public speaking contest which will be one feature of the educational exposition February 22 and 23 at Corvallis. The O.A.C. chamber of commerce is con ducting this contest. Chamber of commerce in all parts of the state are planning to arrange for special booths to show the community industry. Ar rangements to entertain 4 00 high school students at the exposition have been made by the housing committee An educational guidance confer ence for high school representatives will be held. Thomas A. Clark, dean of men at the University of Illinois, and Dr. Glenedine Snow of Michigan Normal school, will be the principal speakers. Each high school in the state has been "invited to send five delegates and one faculty advisor to the exposition and the educational conference. Each Oregon town entering a booth in the exposition will be al lowed one of the smaller rooms in ' the commerce building or one-half of one of the larger rooms for its dis play. Many chambers of commerce have signified their intention of send ing displays. Milking contests and guesing contests are among the spec ial features planned by the school of agriculture. A milking contest be tween A. B. Cordley, dean of agri culture, and department heads is cre ating much Interest. RRI0ON AND UMATILLA DELE GATION GO AFTER NEW BRIDGE With a delegation from Irrigon and Umatilla of such large proportions that the county commissioners nut the bridge caravan In the circuit court room Tuesday and listened at tentively to the plea for the new bridge across the Umatilla river at Umatilla. The commissioners lent a very sym pathetic ear to tje plea of the delega tion and there was not the slightest note of opposition to the construction of the palpably needed bridge aero. , the Umatilla river. However, the county hasn't the money for the work, nor can the funds be raised right now. The commissioners promised to try to get the state to advance the eo.-t. of a new bridge and let the county repay its half as soon as It could, and with the favorable attitude already manifested by the state commission, we have every reason to feel that this proposition will be accepted. The estimated cost of the bridge la $110,000 for one level with the highway and $40,000 for one high enough to be safe from the back waters of the Columbia but not up to the grade of the highway. The nc-d of a new bridge is not gainsaid and with both the state highway commission and the county court in f vor of it, everything points to an early solution of the difficulties in the way of financing the construc tion. Everyone who attended the meet ing is buo-.'d up with hope of the ul timate ai d not far remote act-'on on this important link but at present eyebore of the highway. 1 SAVE GERMAN CHILDREN Strong Oregon Committee Works For Relief Fund.
