INSPECTOR ADVISES
SPRAYING OF SHRUBS
By Prof. W. II. Lawrence.
The presence of bo many sadly ne
Klt'cteii, diseased and oftentimes par
tially dead fruit trees, standing in
vacant lots and in the lawns, has a
very depressing effect upon visitors
and prospective purchasers of orchard
tracts. In fact it is not until one has
made a trip through some portion of
the valley and has actually viewed the
well kept orchards that he recovers
from the shock received in passing
along the streets of this city. Con
current with the neglect of these trees
orchard pests and especially the San
Jose Scale has become very abundant
and have in many cases so badly in
jured trees and shrubs that it is advis
able to destroy the plants. Now is the
time for the property owners to co
operate in destroying all useless and
diseased plant and to spray the ones
which they desire to save. In remov
ing all plants, especially fruit trees,
it is advised to dig them out in order
to destroy the roots and prevent the
formation of suckers at a later date.
All the rubbish must be destroyed by
burning as soon us possible. Green
apple wood will burn as readily as
whan dry. Start a hot fire by using
some good dry kindling. Destroying
all plants useless for fruit or shade is
by far the easiest, cheapest and most
effectual method of "cleaning up."
After the destruction of the undesir
able plants attention should be directed
to the proper pruning and spraying of
the plants such as are worthy of a
place in the lawn, garden, or vacant
lot. Pruning should precede spraying.
The one consideration in pruning is to
so shape the plant that it is possible to
spray it, and spray ellectivoly.
Since lime-sulphur wash has the con
fined properties of both an insecticide
and fungicide, this material is the only
one recommended for early spring
spraying, unless the spraying is being
done to control specific trouble. The
winter strength (1 part lime-sulphur
to 9 to 10 parts water) should be used
and the application made before the
buds begin to open. In case late
spraying becomes necessary there is
some danger of injury to the fruit and
foliage of some plants.
While spraying there are several
points to bear in mind: Use a pump
that will develop 175 to 200 pounds of
pressure; begin spraying in the most
difficult places to reach; spray thor
oughly so that every surface is coated
and all the croches, checks and spaces
behind the buds are splasned full of
the spray. This can only be done
when an extension rod 8 to 9 feet long
with a 45 per cent crook equipped with
a nozzle which will give a driving
spray is used. The Bordeaux nozzle is
the best type for this work. In spray
ing tall trees it is necessary to spray
from a tower, unless one climbs up in
the tree, in order that the upper sur
faces of limbs, buds and the angles
between the branches and stems may
be filled.
Since it will be necessary to spray a
majority ot the plants in the city it is
suggested that all persons desiring the
advice of an inspector, do so. It is
hoped that all of the diseased fruit
trees .and other plants infested with
pests will have been destroyed or thor
oughly sprayed within the next six
weeks. Later as the time permits a
careful inspection throughout the town
will be made and additional work
necessary to secure complete results
will be done.
The recommendations given below
by Prof. Lawrence as to spraying and
other remedies should not be followed
until the trees have begun to bud.
Other instructions from the fruit ex
pert will follow from time to time.
1. Pests controlled by methods
other than spraving: CKOWN GALL
OK HAIRY ROOT. Do not plant
trees infested with this disease. You
will not make a success of the orchard
business if you do. FIRE" BLIGHT.
Prune out all hold-over cankers. Cut
several inches below each canker.
Keep the pruning tools wet with cor
rosive sublimate (1 part to Nkk) parts
of water) also saturate every cut.
Burn all prunings at once.
2. Pests controlled by spraying.
Use power sprayers giving a pressure
of 150 to 200 pounds. Splash the spray
beneath every flake of dead bark,
behind every bud and in the angles of
every branch. Use an extension rod 8
to 9 feet long with a 45 per cent angle
crook equipped with a Bordeaux nozzle.
I)o not use a nozzle throwing a mist
spray. Take plenty of time to do
thorough work. Thorough work gives
the results.
SAN JOSE SCALE. Spray infested
trees with winter strength lime-sulphur
before the buds open. Coat every
portion of the tree. Remember to
spray the upper side of each branch.
Drive the spray around the scales so
that they are thoroughly saturated.
RED SPIDER. Scrape the trunks
of the trees to remove the scales of
bark beneath which the spiders hiber
nate. Remove the dirt around the
crown of each tree to a depth of 4 to 5
inches. Spray the crown and trunk
thoroughly with lime-sulphur. Also be
careful to fill the angles between the
large branches with spray. Red spiders
are only killed when thoroughly soaked
with the spray.
GREEN AND BROWN APHIS.
Coat the eggs thoroughly with lime
sulphur. Spraying while the buds are
swelling gives the best results.
AN1HRACNOSE. Thorough spray
ing with 6-4-50 Bordeaux mixture is

Old Baron Munchausen will turn
over in his grave and scratch his left
ear, when news of wondrous stories
that have recently been told bv certain
of his rivals in the lloodRiver Valley,
penetrates ms sarcophagus. (He was
a big enough liar to have been pickled
in this kind of a receptacle.) The old
boy has been a long time dead, yet his
reputation has reigned supreme. Even
his name will now enter the realm of
dark oblivion, while that of local genii
reach the zenith of fame.
The man who tells the following story
is very modest. He is no windjammer
and his sincerity almost creates belief:
The story: Once upon a time not so
long ago, a certain local hunter was in
quest of ducks in the neighborhood of
their haunts in a neighboring district.
Having become weary from much
tramping and no luck he laid himself
down at the roots of a big tree beside
a pund. He dreamed wonderful dreams
of the chase. And after an hour or
two, awakening, beheld to the left of
him an unusually large flock of geese;
on the right was the biggest bunch of
ducks that mortal man ever had a
chance to shoot at. But piffles, a
whirr at his feet astonished him!
Glancing downward he beheld the king
rattle snake of the state. His rep
tilian majesty winked at him and stuck
out a mocking tongue, making a noise
with its rattles like a thousand tam
bourines, but far less musical. The
man was too frightened to swear. He
only had two shells, one in each cham
ber of his double-barrel shot gun. He
says that he never knew how it hap
pened. But by some miracle the gun
went off and he went to sleep for the
larger fraction of an hour. When he
awoke the snake was dead, its head
having been pierced by the breech-lock
of the gun. Fifty two ducks and the
feet of another had floated to the
banks of the pond. He never liked
goose meat, he stated confidentially to
his friends, so he made no attempt to
count the slaughtered honkers.
That fellow believes that story. He
says the friend, the hero of the episode,
has the 18 rattles, and a button, that
he cut from the snake's tail.

F. X. ARENS WRITES
FROM NEW YORK
F. X. Arena, one of the Icadine vocal
teachers ni the country, whose studios
aie in INew lurk City and who pur
chased a ranch in Central Vale from
i Dr. W. S. Nichol last Fall, writes us
the following interesting letter from
I me American Metropolis:
i "This rrorning, returning from my
usual constitutional during which 1 ate
my usual Hood Kiver apple as an ap
petizer, 1 happened to come across the
enclosed article in this morning's issue
of the New York American. Being
already such an enthusiastic Hood
Riveronian, since my purchase of an
orchard in the valley, I take the lib
erty of sending the article to you. I
would ouggest that the Commercial
association send the Uev. Gregory
box of the choicest apples.
"Within a few weeks I will seud
another one of my sons to join his
mother and brother. He is a news
paper man like yourself."
The clipping from the "American"
is given below :
When Oregon, fifty-three years ago,
today, took her proud place in the sis-
terhood of the Union the controversy
of more than half a century was
brought to a glorious and happy termi
Full of interest is the story of the
uregon Lountry, as it was called in
the olden days. In 1 192 Captain Rob-
ert Gray discovered the Columbia
River, naming the mighty stream after
the ship in which he made the discov
ery. It should be said right here that
Captain Gray had already achieved
memorable results. In 1787 he sailed
from Boston in the ship Washington
for the purpose of trading with the
natives of the Northwest, and returned
in 1790 by way of China, thus being the
first man to carry the American Hag
around the globe.
Of course, after Captain Grav had
discovered the Columbia. England was
obliged to have it "discovered" by one
of her captains, and the great contro
versy between the two countries over
the Oregon Country was not closed
until 1842, when Uncle Sam won out in
the famous Asburton Treaty, negotiat
ed by Daniel Webster.
For a long time the American people
were blissfully ignorant of the splendid
region in the far Northwest. In 1810
Captain Winship, a New Englander,
built the first house in Oregon, and a
year later John Jacob Astor founded
Astoria.
In 18;i3 the Methodists established a
mission in the Willamette Valley. In
IXM Dr. Whitman and the Rev. H. H.
Spaulding, with their wives, went out
from Missouri, the two ladies being
the first white women to cross the
Rocky Mountains. So late as 1842 the
white people in the vast region of more
than 300,000 square miles numbered
only some 240,
About that time Dr. Whitman made
his memorable trip East and returned
in 1843 with 1,000 settlers, when a pro
visional government was oiganized.
Still the ignorance and indifference of
the people of the East held un, and it
is no exaggeration to say that but for
Whitman and Thomas H. Benton and
one or two others the Oregon Country
would have been allowed to go by de
fault. The leading men in the nation
declared that the Columbia River re
gion was worthless to begin with, and
that it was too far away, anyway, for
sensible people to trouble themselves
about it.
But Benton stuck to them, giving them
no rest by dayor night; and finally the
deal was closed by which the magni
ficent region was ceded to the United
States, to have and to hold forever,
with its splendid forests, fertile valleys
and wealth laden hills and streams, to
say nothing of the "Houd River apples."
ADDRESSES PEOPLE
Eugene W. Chafin, who was the Pro
hobitionist candidate for the presidency
in 1908, delivered an address to the
members of the party here Monday
afternoon at the Assembly Hall of the
Commercial club. Mr. Chafin, who is
a fluent talker, related history of anti
liquor movements during the past 5o
years. A great prohibition wave Bwept
over the country before the Civil War,
he stated, and about 15 of the states
declared against the liquor traffic.
However, now Maine alone of those
states remains dry. The leader of the
prohibitionists declares that this fail
ure to keep the states in the lists was
due to lack of organization and work
ing along wrong principles.
The effect of prohibition has been
weakened and killed in following in
stances by high license and local option
laws. The only way to cure the liquor
evil, he declared, will be to make it a
penitentiary offense for the manufac
ture of any kind of liquor on every
inch of American soil.
"Oregon will have woman suffrage
and your next governor will be elected
on the prohibition ticket," said Mr.
Chafin at the close of his Bpeech, when
a number of those present subscribed
to the year's campaign fund.
GIRLS LOSE
BOYS WIN
The Hood River High School sent a
team of its boys to Stevenson last
Friday evening, and with it went a
girls' basketball team. The latter
lost to the fair ones of Skamania
county. However, the lads came home
with a victory In the game between
the girls the score stood at the close 19
to 2 in favor of the Stevenson five,
while the local boys scored 27 points
to the Stevenson lads 19. The trip
was made on the Ollie S., the big
launch of Dean & Sheplar. Ihe teams
were accompanied by a large party of
friends, and they intended to return
Friday evening atter the game. How
ever, a heavy fog settled down on the
river and the boatmen did nut deem it
safe to venture on the river. Because
of lack of accomodations at the Ste
venson hotels the boys were forced to
spend the night sitting up.
The lineup of the local girls' team
was: Miss Radlitf, center. Misses Orr
and Steinhoff, guards; Misses Vaughan
and Eby, forwards. The boys lined up
Morse and Blagg, center; Sheppard
and Lewis, guards; Shay and Franz,
forwards. The work of the latter two
local players was said to have been
exceptionally good.
Sedentary habits, lack of outdoor ex
ercise, iiisullicient mastication of food,
constipation, a torpid liver, worry and

Strength f a Czar.
A story is told In St. Petersburg
which Illustrates the phenomenal phys
leal strength cf the old rrar. At a
tittle station not far from the capital
the Imperial train was delayed fur
quite a time, and the czar, being
hungry, partook of some of the simple
food of the buffet. Meanwhile the lit
tle daughter of the mayor presented
the einpresa with a bouquet, the flow
ers of which wr hastily gathered
from private hothouses In the nelgliUir
hood. The stalks being still damp ami
earthly, the empress visibly hesitated
to take the bouquet In her neatly gloved
hand. The czar coolly took up one of
the heavy euter plates on the table,
and twisting it as if It were paper,
made a neat covering for the stalks.
There Is tiotbing incredible in the story,
since the czar had been known to U-ml
a kitchen poker as an ordinary man
would a strip of tin.

THE bg, powerful, stylish Maxwell "Special," a thirty-six horse iowei
five-passenger touring car is the result, and its sensational price of
$1480 gives it unquestioned leadership for 1912. No car .selling for
3(K) more than the price we ask can match the Maxwell "Special." Its ex
celling style classes it with the best cars of greater cost.
Its new ventilated, fore-door, flush-side, vestibuled steel body, inside
control, Columbia honey-comb type radiator, new design bonnet and deep,
comfortable upholstery stamp the Maxwell "Special" as a leader of fashion
and the aristocrat among moderate priced cars.
Wonderfully quiet is the powerful, smooth running, four and one-quarter
by five and one-quarter long stroke motor of the "Special." Large
valves, adjustable push rods, unfailing self-contained oiling system, new
and improved glass reservoir carburetor, dual ignition with magneto and
batteries, combine to produce more power and greater speed than will ever
be used. Gear shifting in this car is reduced to a minimum, as it takes the
steepest hills with ease.
The Maxwell "Special" is the only car of thirty-six horse power with
full equipment, including self-starter, sold within $:(K) above its price. The
"Special" bristles with new features, added refinements and conveniences.
Among these are the self-starter, massive, lull-floating rear axle, drop
forged "I" beam front axle, sliding gear transmission, 17-inch mahogany
steering wheel with Stoddard-Dayton type of spark and throttle control lev
ers, 9-inch clutch discs, disappearing clutch lever, powerful wheel hubs, ex
tra heavy spokes twelve in each wheel.
The oiling system of the "Special" is exceedingly simple and efficient.
Filling the reservoir is the only concern of the operator. Grease cups of
ample size are provided everywhere else where lubrication is necessary.
Every modern, scientific principle that makes comfort and safety has
been incorporated in the "Special." Fourteen-inch brake drums instead cf
twelve-inch, with double acting brakes; fifty-one-inch springs, two inches
wide, with seven leaves, instead of the usual forty-seven-inch springs; long
wheel base and large 34x4 inch tires insure riding comfort.
The remarkably low price of $1480 for the Maxwell "Special" includes
complete equipment. It is ready for touring without a cent of added ex
expense. Equipment includes self-starter, mohair top, top boot, windshield,
speedometer, Presto-Lite tank, black enamel lamps and magneto.
