OF OIL SPRAY NEEDED Pear growers should bo on a constant watch from now on for spider mite infestations. The first outbreak of this pest was found In the Talent district a few dyas ago. Since that time infestations have been found In other parts of the valley, which indicates that the presence of this nest Is pretty general. Warning is hereby given tho orchardist to watch his trees carefully and In case of finding mites to apply control measures before damage occurs. The D'AnJou variety will prob ably show Indications of an in festation first, followed by the Bos:. If mites are present they may he seen with the aid of u magnifying glass by looking closely over the under surface of leaves taken from the lower branches, close in to tho tree t mi n k . "When I n j u ry o'cc u rs from these insects if takes tho form of discolored leaves, the lower leaves and leaves in the center of the tree turn a browtf and then to a black color, leaving the tree defoliated. Hummer oil emulsions will give excellent control, if applied thor oughly to tho under side of the leaves. The recommended dilu tions range from one to ono and a ho If gal ion of emulsion to the hundred gallons of water or spray solution if mixed with arsenate of lead. In case of mixing oil with arsenate of lead, It Is always ad visable to use a case mi to spreader in the combination.' ' Li. V. WILCOX. ( County Agent. rem At Hunt is Cniterlan.

T Lindbergh Is the Angel Gabriel to an Indian village in Chiapas, near the Ouatamaluu border and prob ably ulways will be. Travelers from the tropics have brought In tho tale that at the time Lindbergh flew from Mexico to (luatemaia this village became excited over the story that an image of the Virgin of Guadalupe had miracu lously appeared upon the trunk of a great palm tree. Accounts of such a ppearanees crop up of ten in various parts of M exlco. - Investigators eouid not find the image. The Indians Insisted it had been there. "As proof that the image appeared," they sa'.d, "there was a not her miracle that day. The Angel (labrict flew over our village to see the Image himself. Wo saw the Image and wo saw the Angel Oabriel." The Indians had never heard of Lindbergh and when told of him refused to believe. The rest of the world may accept, if it pleases, that .Lindbergh flew that day from Mexico City to Gatoumla City. The Indians hold to the Angel Gabriel theory.
