CANNING AND DRYING DEANS AND RHUDARD As the petals of most varieties of apples have fallen it Is now time to apply the calyx spray for codling moth. Great care should be taken to cover the young fruit completely with the spray. Use 4 pounds dry arsenate of lead or its equivalent in paste per 100 gallons of water for al) codling moth sprays. The second application should be made in three or four weeks depending upon the nature of the weather. If it warm spray in three weeks, and if it remains cool the work should be de layed for about four weeks as best the conditions can be forcasted. As the moth is not overly bad here a third spray shou’d be all that is neces sary to control it. This application should be made about August 1. If four sprays are thought necessary the third should be applied about July 15 and the fourth about August 15. Do not fail to do thorough work by using high pressure and by making the application of spray very care fully. Many spray jobs are unsuccess ful on account of being improperly done. Write to the Agricultural college for extension bulletins 194, 195, 196 and 197 on spraying. Umatilla Experiment Farm NEW CIGARETTE LAW EFFECTIVE MONDAY Under the new cigarette law, which goes into effect the 21st of this month, it is unlawful to sell, barter or give cigarettes to any minor, and a heavy fine is provided.

Tuesday evening at the call of the executive committee, a meeting of tbe Hermiston Council of Defense was held at the Civic Center room. A fair representation was out and a num ber of matters came up for discussion. Action was taken in some instances and in others more time was given for developments Chief of those matters taken up was the crop census. 1 be local organiza tion is affiliated with tbe county, the county with the stale and the latter with the national government. Tbe government, through this channel, has called for a census of all crops, stock and other farm information. Instead of asking tbe farmer, at a time when he is already behind with his work, to come into town and fill out a report, as was the suggestion made to the local organization, it was thought better to select a committee and divide the ter ritory. Those assigned to this work will go out and interview each farmer at bls own home and have the prepared blanks filled io. This is already under way and will be completed tho coming week. Farmers are asked to give as complete data as possible, remembering that, personally, it is no more to tho committeeman than to tbe farmer him self, but that it is our national govern ment that is asking for the li formation that it may know bow its big family will fare for food during the next year. A similar census is being taken in every section of the United States at this lime. Another matter that came up was money for various local expense. The needs along this line are very small, yet some are essential. For Instance, at the recent patriotic meeting, there was bail rent. When the county com mittee meets a local representative at tends and it is but fair that bis ex penses be paid. Little items of this sort are likelyto come up at any time. Tbe organization is here not only to help the local community, but the nation, as in the matter - of the crop census. As such it is entitled to gen eral support. A finance committee was appointed and an appeal will be sent out soon for free will offerings. Each one will be asked for something, whatever be feels free to give, from 10 cents up. Such a contribution will hurt no one and be a „ pX= -—, * the work now before tbe organization.
