BOISE, Ida., April 4. A 120.
000 experiment on methods of con
trolling codling moth with uae of
other spraya than lead arsenate wilt
be undertaken at once at Parma, with
public worka money, E. J. Newcomer
of the federal bureau of entomology.
noA announced here.
Newcomer said the experiment was
aimed at finding organic compounds
to replace the mineral spray to which
the federal department of agriculture
has voiced objection for several .sea
sons past, complaining at the residue
round on the ripened apple.
R. W. Haegle of the Idaho experi
ment station at Parma will be in
direct charge of the project which
will be performed on about 20 acre
of apple orchard soon to be leased.
Newcomer said the work must be
completed within a year under terms
of the appropriation, and for that
reason haste in getting tne program
underway will be made.
Three smaller experiments will be
performed In the northwest, two on
the spray problem at Hood River and
Medford, Ore., and one on parasites
of the codling moth, at Wenatchee,
Wash. The experiment at Wenatchee
will be conducted by the federal ex
periment station there, at a coat estl
mated at $3,500. The experiments
at the two Oregon points were estl
mated by Newcomer to cort together
about 92,500.

JUBILEE LEADER
E. C. "Jerry" Jerome was the chief
speaker at last nlght'a meeting of
the Active club at the Hotel Medford
and gave an Interesting outline of
the program for Oregon's Diamond
Jubilee. He emphasized the tremen
dous amount of work to be done and
the need of co-operation from all
clubs of the city.
The support of the Active club
was promised, following hla request
for co-operation.
Plans for entrance of a team In
the kitten ball league here were made
by the club last night and Chuck
Prltchett, chairman of the club com
mittee, announced the first practice
for this evening at the Junior high
school grounds at 6 o'clock.
Dance To Follow
Phoenix Operetta
Following presentation of the op
eretta. "The Wishing Well,' at ttu
Phoenix Grange hall Saturday night,
a dance will be held with music fur
nlshed by Dickey's orchestra. It waa
announced by the Grange today.
The operetta will begin at 8 o'clock.
The final dress rehearsals in antic!
patlon of tvhe musical undertaking
will be held tomorrow and Friday
nights.
government granted the land, located
In 17 Oregon and one Washington
county, it waa agreed that the rail
road company should sell it to bor.a
fide settlers at no more than $2.30
an acre.
After It had' been held by the rail
road for almost SO years, the gov
ernment in 1916 cancelled the con
tract on the ground the rail line had
violated the agreement by selling land
to some persona wno were not set
tlers and had obtained meht anr
had obtained more than $2.50 an acre.
Off Tax Rolls.
With the cancellation, the timber-i
lands went off the tax rolls, taking1
about $480,000 annually from tho
counties. In the cancellation mea
sure, the Chamberlain-Ferris act of
1916, a fund, known as the Oregon-1
California land grant fund, was wt
up to reimburse the countlea for the !
lost revenue, the money to be ob
tained by the aale of the land by the
government.
Because little of the property was
sold, the federal government paid
nothing between 1916 and 1926. In
1926 the measure was amended by
the Stan field O. Jc C. act to provide
for direct payment out of the federal
treasury of approximately $5,000,000,
the amount equal to the taxea the
counties should receive each year on
the property if it were in private
hands.
In 1933 the secretary of the interior
notified the counties the fund was
exhausted and at that time it was
learned the money which had been
paid to the counties had not been
taken from the treasury, but had
been advanced against the expected
Income from sale of the land.
Payment Stopped.
The payments stopped when the
comptroller general ruled there was
no appropriating clause In the Stan
field act to provide funds for pay
ment to the countlea after 1932.
Mott's bill, which was referred by
the house public landa committee to
Secretary Ickes. would reimburse chn
counties for the 1933 taxes and pro
vide for future payments. The rep
resentative quoted the secretary as
promising a "favorable recommenda
tion" on the matter If. Douglas ap
proves. At a conference between Mott, Sen
ators Stelwer and McNary, Oregon Re
publicans, and Ixuglas, the situation
was, explained, and the representative
said the budget director promised to
"consider sympathetically."

SUPPOSE daily to your door came the butcher, the
grocer, the .clothier, the furrier, the furniture man, and
every other merchant with whom you deal? What a
tedium of doorbell answering that would mean!
It would be even more impractical for you to visit
daily all these stores to find, out what they have to offer
and the price.
And yet you need those merchants' service quite as
much as they need your patronage. Contact between
seller and consumer is essential in the supplying of
human needs. Before a sale can be closed the goods
must be offered. Every day, through the advertising
columns of this newspaper, the merchants of this city
come to your home with their choicest wares. Easily,
quickly, you get the news of all that is worth while in
the market-places of the world.
They are not strangers at the door, but merchants
you know and trust. You are always surer of high
quality and fair price when you buy an article adver
tised by a reputable firm.
