Care and Com- Patients-Reasonable 1 erms Amount Arsenic Needed To Kill Caterpillars How much arsenic is needed to kill tent caterpillars? Evidently not nearly so much as is generally used, if the right kind is applied in the right way, Many thousands of caterpillars have been poisoned on sprayed foliage in the entomological lab oratories of the Oregon Experi ment Station in an attempt to answer the question definitely. The result of having eaten the leaves sprayed with solutions of Varying Strength could readily be seen by the rapidity with which the larvae died, but in order to determine tin actual amount of poison consumed Professor Wil son, conducting the experiments, had the bodies of the larvae ana lyzed and the recovered arsenic weighed. 1 1 is generally known that there are two kinds of arsenate of lead in use as an insecticide. These are known to the grower as acid and neutral arsenates of lead and the acid form is consid- ered more or foliage injury combination less liable to cause both alone and in with other spray materials. Experiments of previous yean demonstrate that If properly made either kind may be used without danger of foliage injury if not used in combination with other spray materials. When used in combination the neutral or basic form is preferable. Fur ther experiments show that these two kinds of arsenate ol lead also have different insecticidal values and that the socalled acid or, better, lead hydrogen arsenate is a quicker acting poison than the basic and that less than one-half as much lead hydrogen arsenate is reiiuireii as with the ha-sic.

This growers who must contend together with field peas makes against the caterpillar pests is ii) savins; cost of spray primarily and In some cases saving foliage from damage by needlessly severe applications of poison. Whether the same fact is true of other in sects has not been determined but there is posibihty that it is the same with some or ail of the pests that call for spraying.

Fields of Alfalfa and Grain Where Nothing but Sage Brush and Rabbits Abounded. Farmers Are Using Proper Methods of Tillage The Times-Herald man made a anxious to invest their money in trip to Lawen last Sunday and a scheme of this character so far was pleased to note the advance- from transportation.

However, it Is gettinu so late in the season to light this pest the farmer may as well reserve his energies along this line unl I n .t spring.

One must only recall a few years to remember this vast ter ritory, now being cultivated, in sage brush and considered infer ior land Then the homeseeker was never placed upon this char acter of land but the locator would take him near the streams where irrigation was possible and he considered the meadow lands of the Valley the only worth while portion to devote to farm ing. Since bringing in the sci entific farmer and his demonstra tion of the possibilities of the dry land, as well as the lieiich land, things have changed, it has given the old timer an insight as to the bigness of this territory fdopg the line of farming and given the country ureal impetus. The problem of trai sportation is now all that keeps this big sect ion from advancement.

Men of means are not Fight Against Rabies Epidemic is Planned Portland Oregenian: B. F. Averill, of the United Statea bio logical survey, was in Portland last week conferring with Dr. Calvin S. White, state health officer, relative to the proposed campaign for the destruction of coyotes in Eastern and Southern Oregon in order to put a stop to the epidemic of rabies in those sections. The United States Government la planning to co operate with the state in that work Mr. Averill reported that .six hunters had already been put iti the field in Eastern Oregon for the killing of the animals anil -aid that after July 1 this num ber would be greatly increased. A large force will also be put in Southern Oregon to hunt the coyotes these. Mr. Averill is a former news paper man, and is well known in Kastorn Oregon.
