Paul Carpenter, Polk county agent,
has issued a statement to apple folks
in which he says:
"We are not able to get away
from the August worm spray this
year. The worm situation is bad due
to the fact that eggs were laid all
during the month of June. It would
be poor business to, bring fruit to
this season and then abandon our
worm control at a most critical point.
"About August 20th apply arsenate
of lead, three pounds of the powdered
to 100 gallons of water.
"To avoid blotchiness of fruit and
to seal the poison coat so. it "wont
come off" the use of a aualitv
spreader is urged. A high grade
commercial spreader will run about i
two bits to a 200-gallon tank.
"Anthracnose. This disease can
be brought under complete control by
a late usmmer application of Bor
deaux, 4-4-50. If a property is ser
iously affected by anthracnose it
will be well to combine the Bordeaux
with the August lead spray.
"Bordeaux in August likely means
wiping the fruit.
"It is just possible that the Augu ,
lead application will call for the sarr.
treatment, but not probable where
spreader is used.
"In a few orchards the Bordeaux
for anthracnose was put on with tt
July spray. This early use of Bor
deaux may control the disease and
still avoid wiping.
"The last one. Don't pass it up."

i At Dallas last Sunday, honor "was
bestowed upon the memory of Uda
Burke, Elkins farmer, who died in
the Veterans' bureau hospital in
Portland on the preceding Wednes
day, as a result of injuries which
the young man received during the
World war. The funeral services
were military in character, solemnly
impressive, and were attended by a
large number.
Mr. Burke was an uncrowned hero
of the world war. Enlisting in com
pany L of the old Third Oregon
when recruits were sought to put the
company on a war strength, he went
overseas with that organization.
While serving as a corporal at the
training camp at Cortes in the sum
i mer of 1918, he was engaged one
jday instructing a squad of drafted
men in the use of the hand grenade.
The J. R. Cooper yard on the east
side of the river -will be the first
one to start hop picking this year.
Pearl Cooper, who is handling th9
yard announces that operations will
be started Monday; Henry Ruch will
begin on Tuesday and Virgil De Cos
ter on the succeeding Monday. Mr.
Ruch has about 30 acres and Mr. De
Coster a like amount. These are all
fuggles or early hops. This will be
about a week or 10 days in advance
of the customary time for harvesting.
The Wigrich has considerable
acreage in early hops and Walter
Acocks has about 15 acres. It will
probably be 10 days or two weeks
before either starts picking.
The cluster hops which form the:
large part of the crop will not be
ready to pick until about the first of
September in the estimation of some
of the growers, although it is possible
that some picking will be started be
fore that time.
It will require 5000 pickers and
helpers to handle the crop in the
Independence district this season.
-The most of these will be brought
here from outside points.- Fifty
cents per box is the price which will
be quite universally paid.
In the larger yards preparations
'have been made for the accommoda
tion of the pickers. Tents or build
ings are provided and other conven
iences. j There will be one important change
! in the amusement line. There will be
'no dancing at either the Wierrieh r

tent 50x100 feet, and will build a.
suitable floor.
One of the large hop growers iw
speaking of the help situtrion, said
"We are advertising in Po-iland and
other places for pickers. We have
succeeded in booking many aut there
are still many vacancies. An over
plus of help in the hop fields is a rare
occurrence. We try to rc!.ke is as
pleasant as possible fas the hop
workers and most of them appear to'
