01 HOODfRIVER OLACIEB, THUESDAY, A PHIL 26, 1806. THE VALUE OF EARLY SPRAYING Tie follow iuK paper read by Pi of. a Bull, etomologist of the Utah Argicaltural fetation, at the conven tion of tbe Northwest Fruit Growers' Awooiation at La Grande in January, Is Tery timely at the present time. While the methods used Ly Professor all are different in many chsi'b to those in uae here, there are rtftany val uable luggesttoni, and is worthy of careful perusal. The codling moth ij the worst pest with which the apple grower in the arid regloua has to contend. In Utah oniprayed orchards hare averaged a worm for each .apple during tbe paet three seasons. Many pio'iiemn still remain to be solved before we can say with certainty ' just wbnt 1b the bet method of coutroll ng this iiiBect under each of tbe varied conditions in which it is found. The Utah station has concerned it self with three cf these questions: First, What ia the relative value of early and late gptaysf Second, what ii the relative value of each ot these early sprays? and a third question, which grew out of these, how long does the effect ot the eml npray last? Or in other' words, do the euily sprays kill any worms in tbe second brood? In order to get exact remits, every apple that sets en a tree must he counted and examined and, in this ex periment, this was done on 61 trees having an average of 3500 apples a piece. For this work it was also ne cessary lo separate the damage of the first brood Of worms from that of the second which was done by counting ever; wormy apple on tbe trees just before (be second brood began its work. ' Tbe same orchard was used this season as lutt, and, as n result of the two sprays last year, there were fewer apples to start on. Three early sprays were tested, some trees being sprayed and some left each time. The first spray was applied just after the blossoms fell, the second ten days Inter and tbe third fifteen days after that. ' Tbe result at tbe end of the first brood were as follows : The trees that had only tbe third spray were as wormy as tbe unsprayed ones." The trees that bad only the se cond spray had only tttteeu wormy apples left showing that 79 per cent of the worms had been killed. Tree tbat had only the first spiay bad eight wormy apples or 89 per cent killed. Trees that had tbe first two sprays had four wormy apples or 91 per cent kill ed. Trees with all these early sprays bad only three wormy apples or 90 per iunf ItIIIaI Thfltn reaiiH.a nro batfor shown in the following table fill I IT L7nn.n nullity iTuiuiD Per cent Sprayed Apples Killed Killed 000 001 010 100 110 72 72 0 0 0 0 57 79 til 89 68 91 69 96 15 8 4 111 3 We Mud tbat or tbe flrteeu wormy apples with tbe second spraying, ouly Ave of them were calyx wormy, and of tbe eight wormy with the first spray, that only one was calyx wormy, while, where both sprays were applied, that there were ouly 3-5 of calyx wormy to a tree, f rom tnese results it is t-eeu tbat by this method tbe calyx wo: uia are practically exterminated witb two sprays, tbe few worms that sur ire going in on the sides.

J la I,.,.! rn haliac thnr. a flnrav - pat on in May could kill over halt of the worms entering tbe apples in Au gust and September, or tbat two ap plied before June 10th could kill over 3-1 those same worms. These results were, however, so uniform on the en tire 61 trees tbat there could be no question about their accuracy, es pecially as tbey are supported by the results of last season. When we investigate further, how ever, and Fee now mis was ucuum plished, the explanation is easy. Ibe poison put in the oalyx cups in early June and whioh still remains there as you can see by looking at the specimen undei the microscope, is re- - 1. mnulaa mart rt tViauil . rAJlllltfl. Taking the actual figures and there was an average of 101 calyx wormy ap ples on tbe unsprayed trees, ll on those with tbe second spray only, 8 on those With the first spray only, and three on those with tbe first two to gether. From these figures we fiud that the poison you see there now killed 98 of the 101 worms tbat entered the calyx oups for August 1st on until picking time. Besides killing 97 per cent of all the worms in the calyx tbe early sprays killed 70 out of 115 that went in on the sides, or 61 per cent of the aide wormy. These statements have all been given In actual number tf worms found Which is the only true way to compare . results. Translating them into per cent of wormy apples, so as to com nare with tbe lesults of other me- vihniW and we find that the two early sprays applied tbe second year gave an average or wo per ueuv nuuuu. - Tbe essential feature of the method used was that tbe small drops ot poi soned llqulfl were lorcea oeiwetm iue stamens and .down into the very bot 4 torn of the calyx epps. To do this it is neoesfcary to have a preseure of from k in inn nnnuda and tbat this tprai be thrown in the form of fine drops that do not break into a mist within An AP aii feet of tbe nozzle. Then t.. nuinff . nlatform so that the oper-. ator is nesrlv "on a level with tfce top UK UIB WW, ' i " . ant at a 30 degree angle, each part 6f tbe tree can be sprayed so that tbe liauid will be forced straiglt In conclusion I wish to state that i -m nnt nffnrins auv method of .r.nrlnr fnr the humid sections be cause I know nothing about them or their conditions; ana 1 am nuv nuvu .tio rh nan of Paris Green as bet ter than any other poison it is not for me, however, it is better because ' i n uw inat where tbe poison is and what it does, and that it will do the work the results will show. Neither do I wish to rdvocate two spraying or any other number. What I do wish to avdocate is that tbe early sprays be applied according to tbe method tbat has given tbe above results and, if this is done, I do believe that we will be able to get on with a less num - i lot. - anrava. and. ander favor- able conditions, without any.

Crown Gall Crown guil is tu outgrowth, tumor or knot that gn m i n the roots ot de cidoustrn?. a ii iittiially appears at the crown uf the tree it is Ly com mon consent culled flown gall. Wheu it whs hret noticed, u number of years ago, it was claimed by some to be caused by drouth ; some thought it was caused by excessive moisture: while others pronounced it the lesult of some mechanical iuji.ry. But by close observrtion and niimeioiiH exper iments, it M6U18 to bo a rontugious disease, nd at the present time no nurseryman v. ho cares for his reputa tion will sell affected trees. For a time it was thought that all tbut was necessary was to remove the knot, but as it frequently reappears after plant ing it is now generally I elieved that all young affected treea should be burned. Although those knots mm Hy appear at the crown of tbe tiee jnsl hcueath the soil, they occasionally are found deeper in the earth and sometimes on the slender one-year-old root'. In tbe first stage of the disease the color of the all is similar to the color of the healthy root; but Jaler on they turn dark owing to the dead matter which forms about the Kill. Crown gall has become widely dis tributed thrcum i t 1 1 fruit centers of tbe whole limit ii Stales, mjing nothing of Franco, Germany, eto. It is especially had in the irrigated re gions, where there is uo other disease that causes so much injury to tbe fruit industry. Without doubt tbe diseases is carried from tree to tree by tbe water used lu irrigating. Gall is partiiulaily injuiicus to Ibe almond, apricot nud poach; but is al so found on apple, pear, eto., a well as grape vines and berry bushes, it is frequently found on nut trees. In fact it seems that all deciduous trees both tame and wild are liable to the disease. By experiments mude ut the experi ment stations, it has been proven that gall is not carried by the seed, but that the infection is local. For ex ample, you may take poaoh seed from atroowith badly diseased loots and plant iu clean suil and the seedlings will be free from disease. But take seed from either boaltljy or diseased tree and plant near diseased trees, or it soil in which diseased trees have previously grown, and your seedlings will be badly infested witb gall.- By these experiments it was also fouud that by mixing uu equal quan tity of bliiestone with minced galls tbo seedlings grown therein seldom showed symptoms of the disease. Should I have occasion to experiment along this lino 1 think I should use a liberal quantity of bliiestone iu the diseased soil. Crown gall seems to have an annual period of growth. Beginning to grow in tbe spring and uuder ordinary con ditions maturing iu the fall, frequent ly decaying at that time; and vviih tho leturn of si ring the new giowth of gall forms uruuud the edge of the old wound. Kach year the wound be conies larger and deeper, until at last the tree breaks olf at the crown. How ever, when tbe knot appears on old trees, it does not hIwkjh seem so in jurious, nsi large trios lime t ei n known to continue btarii-g for c-i rs with roots ua11v iulei-t'-d will) guil.

Tbe Wenatcbee Valley (Wash. ) Fruit Asaocia'i in recently sold 1,000 toxes of apples to a Seattle commission nnii for 12.510. Kennewick, Wash,, baa about 125 acres in strawberries, and expects the coming crop to amount to about 18,750 crates. San Jne Scale Survivs. Fruit Inspector Ritx who lias lieen at Walla Walla received information from the Washington .State Agriculture col lege that Sau .lose scale was nut killed by the resent cold weather, and is noti fying orchanlist? a fast as possible so that they may lie prepared to spray their trees at mice. There will lie a partial crop of apples in this locality, and conoiilerablv more than was expect ed iu the viciuitv of Freewater and Milton," where a fair crop is predicted Is Disease a Crime ? Not very long ago, a popular magazine published an editorial article in which the writer asserted, In substance, that all disease should lie regarded as criminal. Certain it is, that much of the sickness and suffering uf mankind Is due Ut the violation of certain of Xuture's laws. But to say that all sickness should Iks regarded as criminal, must appeal to every reasonable individual as radically wrong. It would be harsh, unsympathetic, cruel, yes criminal, to condemn tho poor, weak, over-worked housewife who sinks under the heavy load uf household cares and burdens, and suffers from weak nesses, various displacements of pelvic organs and other derangements peculiar to her sex. Frequent bearing of children, with Its ex acting demands upon the ftvstcm, coupled with the care, worry and labor of rearing a largo family. Is often the cause of weak nesses, derauironicnt and debility wlileh are awrravated by the many household cares, and the hard, and never-endiuir work which the mother Is called upon to pt-rform. Ir. Pierce, the maker of that world-famed rem edy for woman's peculiar weaknesses and ills Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription says that one of tiie greatest obstacles to Kie cure of this class of maladies is the fact that (he poor, over-worked housewife can not ret the needed rest from her many houseliold cares and labor to enable her to secure from the use of his "Prescription "its full benefits. It is a matter of fnuuent experience, he says. In bis extensive practice in these cases, to meet with those In ntilrh his treatment fails by reason of the patient's inability to alisuln from hard work long enough to be cured. With those suffering from prolapsus, ante version and retroversion of the uterus or other displacement of the womanly organs, it is very necessary that, in addition to tak ing his "Favorite Prescription" they abstain from being very much, or for long periods, on their feet. All heavy lifting or straining of any kind should also be avoided. As much out-door air as possible, with moderate, light exercise is also very Important - Let the fiatient olwrre these rules and thd "Favor la Prescription " will do the rest.
