SPRAV FOR CODLING MOTH
County Fruit Inspector Tells Mow
and When to Prepare and
Use It.
Goes to Sherwood Home.
Carl Stowasser, while working in a
lumber camp near Falls City, Polk
county severely gashed his foot with
an ax he was using, and reached
Dallas before calling upon a surgeon
for treatment. The consequent loss
of blood and the journey came near
causing a collapse before he reached
his home here, Thursday morning,
Sherwood correspondent in Hills
boro Independent.
The following information relative
to the preparation and use of spray
for codling moths is handed us for
publication by J. B. Nunc, fruit in
spector for Polk county:
Use Spray No. 1 Swift's Arsenate
of Lead. This is the best spray, as it
will stand the rain, stay on longer,
and will not wash off as easily as
other sprays ; it is also more effoctive
and easy to prepare. Three thorough
applications of this Bpray is equal to
four or five applications of any other
spray.
It comes in paste-form, and is easily
prepared by dissolving It in one or
two gallons of warm water, by stirring
with a paddle. Use three pounds to
50 gallons of water. This can be used
with 4 pounds of lime, 3 pounds of
blue vitriol, or alone. The lime and
vitriol is for the scab on the apple and
pear tree, and also for moss. This
formula is best to use in the first
spraying. The lime and vitriol can
be left out of the other sprayings.
Spray No. 2, or Arsenate of Soda, is
composed of 1 pound White Arsenic, 3
pounds Sal-Soda and 1 gallon of
water. Boil 15 minutes, then add
enough water to make one gallon of
stock solution. For 50 gallons of
water, use 1 pints of this solution
with 6 pounds of freshly slacked lime.
These sprays are rank poison. Be
careful with them.
WHEN TO SPRAV.
The first spraying should be done
from April 25 to May 5 ; the second
from June 15 to July 1, and the third
from July 30 to August 1.
With these three sprayings, and
proper thinning of the fruit from 2 to
4 inches apart, we ought to get from
80 to 95 per cent free of worms.
Save these formulas for future use.

ALL BIDS ARE REJECTED
Highest Price Offered for Dallas Mo
hair Pool Is Unsatisfactory
to Growers.
The Polk County Mohair Associa
tion rejected all bids for the 1906 mo
hair pool Friday and placed the hair
in the hands of a committee of three
members, to be sold in such manner
and at such time and price as the
committee shall see fit to dispose of it.
The buyers refused to submit sealed
bids as requested, and the growers
were obliged to offer the hair at public
auction. Three buyers were present
and took part in the bidding. They
were Theo Bernheim and Herman
Metzger, of Portland, and M. D. Ellis,
of Dallas. The sale opened at 29 cents
and closed at 30 cents, M. D. Ellis
beingthe highest bidder. Bernheim's
highest bid was 29 9-10 cents, and
Metzger's best offer was 30 cents.
None of tbe growers was willing to
sell at the price offered, and the sale
was called off.
After a short discussion, it was
decided, by practically unanimous
consent, to place the hair in the hands
of a committee empowered to sell it
for the association. The members
chosen to serve as such committee are
President G. W. McBee, Secretary
H. L. Fenton and G. W. Myers. None
of the growers was willing to sell at
the price offered Saturday, and it is
safe to predict that the pool will be
held until a better figure is offered.

Hon. Tilmon Ford, accompanied by
his brother, Charles D. Ford, arrived
home on the afternoon overland train
Saturday, after an absence of about
six months, traveling and sojourning
in the sunny south. In general phy
sical condition, Mr. Ford shows much
improvement and is looking quite
well, though he has not entirely
parted company from his rheumatism,
and his broken hip is a little trouble
some yet on account of an accidental
shake-up he received in Los Angeles,
when a street car struck a phaeton in
which he was riding. Salem Statesman.
