Keii, cf this place, who has made a clce study of sprays for codlin moth and fruit pests, believes that wormy apple are not necessary, and that it is possible lor aU who raise fruit to keep it free from eodlin moth or other petts. Contrary to the supposition that the cost of spraying is exceeeive, Mr. P.eid gives some figures to show that spraying is not expensive. Mr. Eeid cites the apple orchard of Mark Levy, at Milwaukie, who had a total of 300 boxes of apples and pear. Each time he sprayed it tock 18 hours There were two men employed at a cost cf $9, one team at o, and cost cf material was $10, making tbe total cost $26. This was lees than e ' cents per box. A great many of Mr. Levy's tree are young and not in full bearing, and for that reason tht cost for spray ing was larger than it would have been had the trees been in full bearing. "In a large orchard like that of Mil lard O. LowDsdale, in Y'amhiil coun ty," said Mr. Beid. "the cost would not be more than 4 to 6 certs j-er box lor spraying. When tbe spraying is properly done the grower does not have more than eight or ten per ce.it lots from worms." ' Salem Has New Industry.

At the deposits cover an area of 62 acre to a depth of 50 feet, there is plenty of material to supply the factory for a number of years. leeta have proved that the Lane county deposits are of at high grade at tbe Italian tienna and it hat been demonstrated that the Oregon material can be placed upon the market in com petition with the imported article.
