The Annual Battle With Insects.
Some people are possessed with the
i lea that anybody can be a farmer oi
run a country paper. Wbile tbe latter
is easy enough, it takes brains and
muscle and eternal vigilance to make
a success of farming. A writer in tbe
Scientific American gives some of tbe
drawbacks to farming in the United
(states, a few of which will be recog
nized by H'wkI Ri ver farmers. Tbe ar
ticle is as follows:
The pro'eeMon of our common birds
from ruthless destruction assumes a
tiew importance in tbe eyes of mauyi
now tbat special attention Is drawn to
the great economic value of these crea
tures by tbe department of agriculture.
It is estimated that about $100,000,000
are saved to the farmers of tbe country
by tbe birds; and if this is true today,
what must bave been the case fifty
years ago? We then bad ten song and
field birds to every one tbat is now in
existence in this country. Insect life
has been steadily multiplying in direct
proportion to the slaughter of birds;
and wttb tbe disappearance of every
species of birds there has come luto ex
istence new insects tbat help to make
agriculture? more uncertain and pre
carious. Our birds were the appointed guard
ians of our crops in the field, forest and
garden. Most of them depend for a
living on insects, vermin and rodents.
When Audubon stated that the wood
cock would eat its weight in i-isects in
one day, be merely called attention to
the general omnivorous bablt of most
of our insectivorous birds. They are
ail great insect destroyers.
For a quarter of a century science
has been laboring In tbe cause of agri
culture to reduce tbe number of garden
peat and bold tbem in check. The
annual battles with tbe insect fees are
carried on energetically from early
spring until late autumn; and the
farmer or gardener is never quite sure
of his crops until they are actually
harvested. In spite of all the protect
ive agencies that science has surround
ed the fields and gardens with, disas
ter of gigantic proportions will break
out iMcaslonally through the sudden
t;rowtli of some species of obnoxious
insect or fungus growth.
It Is tbe destruction of tbe potato crop
one season by the Colorado beetle; the
total failure of the wheat yield in cer
tain states by tbe rust or blight another
year; or the widespread injury to tbe
cotton plants by the boll worm. Some
where within tbe United States some
crop is pietty sure to be seriously dam
aged by the insects or fungus growth.
Au Idea of what this annual battle
means to the farmers can be faintly ap
preciated by examining some of tbe
common Insect pests that regularly ap
pear in our gardens and fields. Spring
has barely opened before the first foes
appear. Usually in our northern and
middle states the currant worms are
the first formidable enemies to appear
in numbers. These appear early In
June and sometimes late in May. Tbe
saw-fly weeks before this has deposited
its eggs ou tbe goosebeery and currant
bushes; and from these eggs emerge
the deadly and destructive currant
worms. Before the fruit has set they
will completely defoliate the bushes,
unless the farmer energetically sprays
them with hellebore In kerosene emul
sion tbe best remedy so far devised.
An early, and two subsequent, spray
ings of this emulsion must be made to
save the currant and gooseberry bush
es. While work is in progress on the
currant bushes, tbe cherry and plum
trees, will be attacked by their most
formidable foe the plum curculio.
The cherry trees do not suffer so severe
ly from tbe curculio as the plum. All
sorts of remedies bave been tried and
suggested for this tough little insect;
butso far nothing has been found tbat
will kill the curculio tbat will not also
destroy tbe foliage of the trees.
A peculiar habit of the curculio has
been discovered, however, which en
ables tbe farmer, with a little labor to
capture it. When a limb is jarred, the
curculio roll up and drop to the
ground, feigning death. If not dis
turbed in tbe grass, however, they
quickly recover their normal activity
and return to their work. By spread
ing white sheets under the trees and
by Jarring, tbe limbs with a long pole,
tbe farmer can very easily collect a crop
of tbe insects and buru them. To
avoid doing injury to the trees, tbe
poles' are shod with a piece of
rubber, which can strike against the
limbs and not cut the bark.
Tbecodlin moth comes next upon
tbe scene. Tbe moth begins active op
erations on the apple trees before the
blossoms have fallen, and it Is at this
season that the farmer must begin
spraying for them. The curculio has
not been disposed of by any means be
fore tbe codlin moth appears on the
trees. Tbe two must be fought at the
same time. The apple tree must be
sprayed with London purple just as
soon as the petals begin to fall, and a
second spraying should be administer-.
4 iu two weeks or less. 'As tbe codlin
moth may also appear on tbe pear
trees, it is safer to spray with the same
mixture.
Tbe grapevines are subject to attacks
from anthrax early In the season, and
they must be swabbed with a solution
of copperas, one pound to ten gallons
of water. Later the Bordeaux mix
ture must be applied to prevent fungus
spores from lodging on tbe vines. This
is applied before tbe blossoms appear,
and twice thereafter at intervals of ten
to twelve days.
The apple and pear trees are liable to
be attacked by anthrax or the scab.
and the same celebrated mixture is
used on tbem too. Where tbe scabap
pears ou tbe bark in large blotches, tbe
bark is scraped with a dull knife and
washed with a kerosene emulsion and
Bordeaux mixture.
Tbe aphis and tbe hop louse abound
In great numbers on many trees and
vines. Tbey kill ail tbe new growths
of the cherry and plum trees, and later
tbey swarm on tbe rosebushes. Their
growth must be checked early in their
career. This can be done generally by
spraying them thoroughly with a
strong kerosene emulsion..'
Next come tbe potato beetle, and, if
tbe potatoes have not been soaked in
corrosive sublimate before planting, tbe
scab will ruin tbe crop. Paris green is
tbe celebrated remedy for the potato
beetle. Fire rot appears on tbe black
berry and raspberry canes in June, and
there is no remedy for this except to
cut out the affected parts and stimu
late the growth of the plants. Tbe
plum knot and peach yellows are tbe
great summer foes tbat try tbe patience
of farmers and baffle the ingenuity of
scientists. . Tbe former is a fungous
growth which appears early in June,
but tbe spores of which are sown in
September of the preceding year. , Tbe
plum knot must be cut out with a knife
in the spring and fall. In New York
there Is a law compelling all farmers to
cutout the plum knot, under severe
penalty. The knot must be burned im
mediately. When trees are covered
with the knot, tbe best way is to cut
them down and burn every part of
tnem.
The peach yellows is also a fungous
growth; and, like tbe plum knot, the
most effective way Is to cut it out
and destroy it by fire. Liberal appli
cations of the Bordeaux mixture some
times prove a remedy for the yellows.
The yellows cause enormous losses to
tbe peach growers of the Delaware
peninsula.
By the middle of summer Insect foes
are swarming all over tbe garden and
on every plant. Plant lice or aphides
attack all weak plants, and tbey mul
tiply at tbe rate of five to twenty mil
lions in a season from one progenitor.
The red spider appeal's in dry seasons,
and the scale Insects attack the bark
and fruit of many trees. Scraping the
trees and applying a wash of kerosene
emulsion is the best remedy. The
slugs of pear and apple trees must be
treated to an application of .hellebore.
The rose bug and flea beetle must be
attacked with the arsenites. The to
mato rot seems to be invincible, and
tbe squash bug can only be destroyed
by picking them off. The grub of tbe
corn and cabbage fields is likewise a
bad foe to deal with. The birds are its
most formidable foes.
These are only some of the most com-
uiou and formidable foes tbe farmer
has to contend with iu the summer
season. Others appear at special times
and in special localities. It would re
quire a volume to write of all of tbem.
A Trip to The Dalles.
Tbe editor visited The Dalles last
Friday and Saturday. He found every
body with whom he conversed in that
city jubilant over tbe fair prospects for
big crops and good prices in tbe great
section of country tributary to The
Dalles. Tbe Umatilla bouse, which
has recently been fitted with all the
modern improvements of a first-class
hotel, was full of guests and seemed as
prosperous as in tbe good old times.
The genial proprietors are as obliging
as ever, and tbelr rates to Wasco coun
ty people are ouly $1 a day.
Hon. Em He Schanno, who recently
traveled over Sherman county, says
tbe wheat crop will be immense. Both
spring and fall-sown grain will yield a
full crop. Hon. E. B. Dufur informed
us be bad recently visited that county,
and during his trip bad examined a
good mauy fields of wheat. He thinks
the average for tbe county will be 20
bushels an acre, while some fields will
yield as high as 40 bushels an acre.
Mr. Dufur was a farmer in bis younger
days, before be became a lawyer, and a
good one, too. His father, the late
A. J. Dufur, was one of Oregon's most
successful farmers. Mr. Dufur says the
difference In the yield of some farms is
all ou account of the way they are
managed. The soil of Sherman county
is about all of the same character and
ought to all produce about the same.
But while tbe good .farmer's land this
year will yield 40 bushels to the acre,
bis neighbor, the poor farmer, may not
harvest 20 bushels to the acre.
Superintendent Gilbert is making a
success of the normal institute now In
session at Tbe Dalles. The attendance
is good, and Mr. Gilbert hopes to see
every teacher in the county take part,
If only for few days. The institute
will lost, another two weeks Prof.
H. L. Howe was in attendance last
week. ; ";
Mr. R. 8. Andrews of Hood River
made final proof on his homestead on
Saturday, and Mr. F. R. At ten and
tbe editor of tbe Glacier were bis
witnesses. Tbe register and receiver
and their gentlemauly clerk, Mr.
Gibons, are all men it is a pleasure to
do business with. ' If, after serving
tkeir full time, tbey could be reappoint
ed, there would be no kick coming
from those who have had official busi
ness at the land office during their in
cumbency. After the business was concluded at
the land office we strolled about the
city to see the sights. Tbe biggest
sight to be seen in The Dalles now is
the piles of wool in tbe warehouses.
We first visited Moody's warehouse,
where the wool was being graded and
pressed into bales that averaged about
540 pounds. Tbe large Wasco ware
house was full to overflowing, and
empty buildings in different parts of
the city were being filled with wool.
We were told that the wool stored in
the Wasco warehouse alone amounted
to about 5,000,000 pounds. It is strange
that all this wool Is shipped East in tbe
grease and dirt. A wool scouring
plant in Tbe Dalles, tbe greatest wool
market in tbe country, ought to pay if
it will pay anywhere. The price of
wool has advanced and some sales bave
been made at Tbe Dalles as high as
12 cents. v
Mr. C. J. Hayes, recently appointed
examiner of government surveys, left
Tbe Dalles with bis party of assistants
on Saturday moruing, for Condon,
Gilliam county, near where be will be
gin work. Scott Boorman is teamster
for tbe expedition, furnishing his own
team. Elijah Udell took along his
trusty rifle and will act as hunter when
the party gets into a game country.
Tbe party will be gone all summer,and
their work will take them across the
entire state and within 16 miles of the
Nevada line.. Tbe party pulled out
from Tom Ward's livery stables at 9
o'clock, all in good spirits.
There being no train or 4oat by
wbicb to return to Hood River in tbe
afternoon, we accepted an invitation
to return overland with Mr. Absten
and Mr. Andrews in the former's
wagon. We left The Dalles a little be
fore noon and arrived borne at 9 o'clock,
stopping about two hours on the way
to feed tbe horses and partake our
selves of tbe good things provided by
Mr. Andrews. The road between Hood
River and The Dalles is not the best
we bave traveled in this country, and
we would not advise any one to take
this trip for pleasure. Tbe wind was
blowing bard from tbe west, and the
first two miles out from The Dalles tbe
drifting saud caused us to turu our
backs to tbe wind and let tbe team
pick Its own way. Tbe road over the
divide between The Dalles and Mosier
was good, but It is a long and steep
pull to tbe summit. The farms along
the route seem to be of the poorest
quality, and what inducement there
ever was for settlers to occupy them is
beyond our comprehension. If any
Hood River farmers are dissatisfied
with their locations, a trip overland to
Tbe Dalles might reconcile them when
they noticed the dreary prospect of
some of the ranches along tbe road
from tbe summit of the Mosier mount
ains to Mill creek. Coming down tbe
mountain to Mosier we found a much
better country, with good farms, and
near Mosier some of tbe best fields of
corn we had ever seen in Oregon. The
road from Mosier to tbe summit of tbe
Hood River mountains is tbe rockiest
part of tbe trip. Here we were over
taken by Mr. A. O. Hersbey, who had
been to Tbe Dalles and made the round
trip in one day in his road cart. The
editor accepted bis invitation to help
bold down tbe seat of his cart, and we
arrived in Hood River a little ahead of
Messrs. Absten and Andrews.
Claus Spreckles, the sugar king and
millionaire.has begun suit for $1,000,000
damages against the Examiner for re
publishing from an interior paper the
following item: "Claus Sprockets has a
$50,000 bath-tub and a reputation which
has needed its constant and uninter
rupted use for several years."
The editor of the Fossil Journal heard
Bryan speak at Pendleton. He says
Judge Bennett is au abler man than
Bryan and can make 'a better speech
ou the silver question.
The rules and regulations Issued by
tbe Interior department for the govern
ment of forest reserves state tbe pastur
ing of "live stock on tbe public lands
within the reservations will not be in
terfered with so long as it appears that
injury is not being done to the forest
growth, and the rights of others are not
thereby jeopardized. Tbe pasturing of
sheep is, however, prohibited in ail for
est reservations except those in the
states of Oregon and Washington, for
tbe reason that sheep-grazing has been
found injurious to tbe forest cover, and
therefore of serious consequence in re
gions where tbe rainfall is limited.
The exception in favor of the states of
Oregon and Washington is made be
cause the continuous moisture and
abundant rainfall of the Cascade and
Pacific coast ranges make rapid renew
al of herbage and undergrowth pos
sible, Owners of sheep are required to
make application to tbe commissioner
of the general laud office for permission
to pasture, stating the number of sheep
and the location on the reserves where
it is desired to graze. Permission will
be refused or revoked whenever it shall
appear that sheep are pastuaed on parts
of tbe reserves specially liable to injury,
or upon and In the vicinity of the Bull
Run reserve, Crater lake, Mount Hood,
Mount Ranier or other well known
places of public resort or reservoir sup
ply. Permission will also cease upon
proof of neglect as to the care of fires
made by herders, or (it the violation by
them of any of the forest' reserve reg
ulations." These rules, if carried out,
will be satisfactory to tbe people of
Hood River valley.
