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

Civil War Artillery
Man Meets His Target
In wars soldiers aim to get the
enemy. 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

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
