THE PROPER TIME
; FOR SPRAYING
Man Inquires have come in the
put few days as to the best li-un to
pray. It demonstrates that our fiuit
growaia aro taking inoro interest in
thmatter tbaji usual, ami the in
foieuation vbicb these In-t pofUd
through htiidy and obseivation can
gWe, will be followed quite generally.
Last year the percentage of good
apples raised in Hood Rivrr valley,
whioh were free from worms and which
graded No. 1 in o-v particular, has
oarer been eqni lied ii auv other fruit
growing local it , and is the best re
cord ever made here. The difference
iu returns from Hrst grade apple,
compared to wormy fruit. is a meat
iocentative to using every precaution
and 'he most improved methods of
spraying.
.Below we quote from papers read at
toe Northwest Fruit Growers' Aesoci
ation at-La Oran e by J. L. Carter
and E. H. Shepard. which will be of
Interest at tjbis time," and on another
page, is the able paper read at the
same meeting by Prof. Hall of Utah.
Hood River methods differ in some
respeo from those of other looalities,
experience having fouud that local
conditions require certain methods
that gjjYft, betty results.
The value of early spray in killing
the ooailfl moth that enters the bios-oneivd-
of,the youna apple, cannot
b TSverestlmated. It is probably the
most important time for spraying.
The right time- for'this epray is illus
trated in the accompanying engraving.
The first picture shows the blossom
in full bloom, when the ends of stamen
are turn baok; This period ia too
early. The next period is too late,
when tb 4flalyx' cup ia closed. The
proper time then, as shown in the
picture to the extreme left, is when
the stamen ends are partly cloned, so
aa to form a cup. The spray will en
ter tnls oup, and as the stamens close,
it holds the poison, Any codlin moth
that has entered this blossom end of
the apple must feed on this poison
and die. The poison is there, and it
cannot fan ffb do its work.
Thipefioaf the forming of the
open calyx cup occurs about a week
after the bloseon falls, sometimes
earlier and sometimes later, depend
ing largely on the weather and the
ntpid or slow growth. The right time
can be easily determined by examin
ing the blossoms, keeping a close
watch, and be ready to spray when
the time ia right.
' By J. L, Carter.
' "At the beginning of the part en in
mar aeveral-af the leading apple grow
ers of Hood River valley begun using
what is termed th new spray, or ar
aenaMf lead ; . the results, - without
exoeptibn, have been very satisfactory.
The Swift's preparation of this epray
was used, with from 4 to 6 pounds to
one hundred gallons of water. True,
good results have come from the thor
ough use of arsenate of lime; but,
think; "Better results have, and will

that there is -not need ot its being so

SNAKES OF SARAWAK.
file Python Are Enornioua and F

In the Sarawak Gazette is an article
on the Bnakeg of that part of Borneo.
Of the poisonous reptiles It says: "The
cobra (Naja tripudluus) Is a black
snake which raises its head to strike
when Irritated, at the same time ex
panding the hood at either side of the
Deck. It spits at Intruders and hisses
like a cat, whence it is known as
"ular tedoug puss;" In some parts, too,
as "todong mata harl." The word "te
dong" In Sarawak Is apparently ap
plied to all huge snakes which Malays
consider to be poisonous, and, as our
Malays are but 111 acquainted with
these animals, quite a liumlxT of large
but harmless forms are designated by
this term. The hamadryad tXnja bun
garus) is a brown snake, considerably
bigger but rarer than the cobra. It is
rather shy, but wt.eii cornered, like
the cobra, It raises its bond and ex
pands the h)od before striking. Its
food is chieliy other snakes.
"Less (iaug.Tiiu.-i than these najas
are the vip-r.j. of wlii.-h the most
common specie.! is the green viper,
which reaches a length of two feet or
more. The head Is large and shaped
like an ace of spades. This creature is
a tree snaUe and very sluggish. The
'biiiigarus' are of several species, one,
Bungurus fasciatus, of length up to
four led, being black with yellow
rings. H is called the 'ular bnku tebu'
(sugar cane Joints) by natives. There
are also sea snakes of many species,
The tail of a sea snake Is flattened
and oarliUe."
Sarawak has other snakes: "Of the
pythons there are two species. Py
thon reticulums grows to an enor
mous size, over twenty feet. It is
very fond of pigs, but varies its diet
by various animals, including even
children. The oil of this snake Is used
by Malays us an embrocation for
bruises. The other species of python,
Python curtus, Is interesting In that
its llesh tastes like that of fowl at
least, so Dyaks say, and they are au
thorities on snake flesh, for Uiey cat
a number of the largo snakes."

Of the youthful hardships endured
by James Anthony Froude a biogra

stirred with his bead the mud at the
bottom of a stream. Another time he
throw him into deep water out of a
boat to make him manly. Hut he was
not satisfied by Inspiring physical ter
ror. Invoking the aid of the preternat

hollow behind the house was haunted
by a monstrous and malevolent phan
tom, to which In the plenitude of his
imagination he gave the name of Pe

folds of extensible skin which are

Jungle talk of the sky as a painter
talks of the horizon or a seafaring man
of the offlug as if when you wanted
to see It you only need use your eyes.
But In the Jungle you don't see the

openings In the twigs and leaves. Nei
ther do you feel the wind bolwing, nor
get burned or dazzled by the sun, nor
even see that luminary except by mo
mentary glimpses about midday, from
which It follows that a Jungle man does
not usually pretend to be weatherwtse.

are speaking I remember setting forth
on my walk in the still glow of the
tropical calm and wondering rather at
the Intense stillness of the surrounding
forest. Then the air grew cooler and
the green of the foliage In front seemed
to deepen, and presently there was a
sound as of a giant waterfall In the
distance. Waterfalls do not, however,
grow louder every second, whereas the
noise in front did so. Then there was
a loud, angry growl, as of a dozen
lions. A minute more and the whole
jungle began to roar as if fifty squad
rons of heavy cavalry were coming up
at n gallip. Then came a drop of r.i n
