J MESSAGE TO EVERY MEMBER.
POTATO VARIETY TRIAIS
BEING MADE ON PROJECT
Potato variety trials are being
made on several farms on the Uma­
tilla project to get a comparison in
yield, quality, disease resistance,
and time of maturity.
J. F. Rueber of Stanfield has put
out approximately 10 pounds of
each of the following varieties in
the center of his patch of Netted
Gem potatoes: Katahdin, Chippewa,
Warba. These varieties will be
checked along side the Netted Gems
in the field.
Fred Corpe, in the Minnehaha
district, also put out approximately
ten pounds of each of the same vari­
eties. During April Mr. Corpe plant­
ed one-half of his patch to Katah-
dins and the other half to Irish
Cobblers. These two will be check­
ed, and by getting a comparison of
the Katahdin with the Netted Gems
a conclusion will be drawn as to the
value of these different varieties
for our particular growing condi­
tions.
E. D. Martin of Hermiston has
planted Katahdins and Netted Gems
in the same patch, and these will be
watched and checked for yield, dis­
ease resistance and quality.
As the season advances further
reports will be given on the trials,
which are being supervised by W.
A. Sawyer, assistant county agent.
VALUE OF CODLING MOTH
TREE BANDS.
By Walter A. Holt, County Agent
Medicated codling moth tree
bands made from corrugated paper
two inches wide and dipped in a so­
lution of beta napthol are used as
traps for codling moth larvae by
many apple orchardists in the north-
west in regions where codling
moths are a problem to control.
These trap bands are placed about
the trunk of the trees about mid­
way between the ground and scaf­
fold branches. The larvae enter the
corrugations to pupate in lieu of
other hiding places. Trees -are
scraped clean before the bands are
placed to eliminate hiding places
for the codling moth.
Apple growers who have heavy in­
festation of codling moth have re­
ported fewer codling moths caught
from year to year when these trap
bands are used annually. This in­
dicates a lessened codling moth pop-
ulation
and consequently fewer
worms to attack the fruit.
An average of 85.7 less codling
moth larvae were tronned ner tree
in the Geo. Pline orchard at Milton.
Oregon, during the third yer of the
continuous use of twn inch beta
naphthol treated
corr" ted
tree
bands as an aid in cod'in" moth
control. This demonstration has
been conducted by the I matilla
County Agent on 98 trees and has
two more years to run.
The record of codling moth lar-
vae trapped in the Bline orchard is
as follows:
Number of trees banded annual­
ly
............................................. 98
Codling moth larvae trapped per
tree In 1933 .................. 125.4%
Codling moth larvae trapped per
tree in 1914..........
57%
Codling moth larvae trapped per
tree in 1935....................... 39.7%
This Is a decrease of 85.7 worms
trapped per tree in three years and
represents a correspondingly de­
creased codling moth population in
this orchard.
Mr. Bline gives much credit to
codling moth bands as an aid in re­
ducing the codling moth infestation.
This last winter Mr. Bline report­
ed at an annual winter meeting of
the Milton-Freewater fruit growers
that he secured a crop of apples
more free from worms in 1935 than
he had secured for many years. His
report indicated that this crop of
apples was about as clean, if not the
cleanest, of any that went through
the packing house where his crop
was made ready for market.
Codling moth tree bands are con­
sidered an aid in reducing the cod­
ling moth population in badly infes­
ted orchards but are by no means
to be depended upon as a sole source
of codling moth control. The usual
codling moth sprays for the district
in which the orchards are located
should be given.

By
W. A. Foster, Agriculture Department,
University of Illinois.— WNU Service.
Bad as poultry housing conditions
are, a brick-bat through the window
is all that Is needed to solve the
trouble In some cases. However, even
the brick-bat cure will not work if it
does not break out enough glass to let
In the minimum need of fresh air, he
said.
Some poultry houses are so bad that
fresh air only filters In through the
cracks, while In other houses all the
fresh air that ever gets In Is what
comes through the door when the
operator enters or leaves. Too much
fresh air makes a cold, drafty house,
and too little air movement causes a
foul smelling, stuffy, soggy house.
Neither condition is favorable to health
or good egg production.
The open front house, with intel­
ligent control, takes care of most
weather conditions in Illinois. A long
roll curtain of muslin or burlap will
prevent drafts and still allow fresh
air to filter in. This curtain rolled
on a rug pole or clothes line prop
may be rolled up or down and sus­
pended In any size opening by a pair
of light ropes at each end. The fabric
must be cleaned frequently to remove
the dust so the air can filter through.

Another method of closing the open
front is to make a set of frames sim­
ilar to screen frames to fit the open­
ing, cover them with muslin and hinge
them at thetop like a cellar sash.
While the muslin will clog with dust,
these sashes are convenient and easily
closed where necessary. Completely
closing the open front with glass or
other material through which the air
cannot pass causes a foul condition
In the house. When sub-normal tem­
peratures are predicted, there Is a
strong temptation to close the house
to keep it warm. This usually results
in moisture which increases from day
to day and makes the house damp and
cold.
Only Few Poor Birds
Affect Crate Prices
Poultry commission merchants in
Chicago are calling attention of ship­
pers to the importance of shipping
only good quality birds to market. It
a crate of chickens contains a few
birds of poor quality, the price of
the whole crate will be affected and
will be considerably lower than It
would be If all the birds were of uni­
formly good quality.
When dressed poultry is shipped it
Is important that It be dressed in good
shape, for feathery, over-scalded,
bruised or discolored poultry will bring
a poor price even though it may have
been well fattened. It is Important
that dressed poultry be thoroughly
cooled before being packed for ship­
ment. It should not, however, be
chilled or frozen.
Thin poultry, either live or dressed,
should be kept at home. Remember
in loading poultry for shipment that
appearance Is a large factor In selling.
Therefore, have the birds uniformly
graded, keep the good birds together,
and keep the poor birds at home to
sell on some local market where they
will not discount the price of all the
rest of your shipment.
As a rule, the commission men do
the best they can to get good prices
for your poultry, but they ask for your
co-operation In order that they may
be able to get these prices.
