At a meeting of the Moaier Valley Telephone Company directora John M. Carroll was elected president. Chas. I. Bennett was elected as a member of the board of directors of the Mosier Valley BankJ at a meeting last week. Mr. and Mrs. N. Parke Sturgess re turned Mondsy evening from Vancou ver, Wash., where they have visiting at the borne of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Staley. The school in District No. 52 has been kept open during this bad weather, lunchea being served during the noon hour. Most of the students have been in attendance. Bishop R. L. Paddock, of the eastern Oregon diocese, preached a abort ser mon Sunday at the Immanuel church. On account of the train being late, and because in response to a telegram he was called to The Dalles to prescb a funeral sermon, bis stay in the city was limited to about 30 minutes. Mrs. Ed. L. Howe, who came up Sunday for a day's stay at her ranch to attend to business matters, stated that she has received a letter from a man in Rio de Janerio, Brazil, who had pur chased apples from a box grown by Mrs. Howe. In the market, he said, he paid $1.50 for 12 apples, Spitzen burgs, but that they were worth it as the apples were as fresh as the day they were picked. Beginning the first of a series of card parties to be held in Mosier every two weeks, Mrs. P. L. Arthur enter tained the recently organized Bridge Club at her home Tuesday night. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Strauss, and refreshment will be served by Mrs, E. E. Amsden. All following parties will be held at the Strauss home and each time will be in charge of some of the members of the club. Those pres ent at the Arthur home were Mr. and Mrs. P. L. Arthur, Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Ami dep. Mr. and Mrs. J. K. McGregor, Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Danielson, Mr. and Mrs. .W. E. Chown, Dr. and Mrs. David Robinson, Mrs. E. M. Strauss, Mrs. G. P. Christie, Miss Ruth Little page and L. J. Merrill. Fruit Men Change Place of Meeting In order to economize, the meeting place of the Mosier Horticultural Soci ety has been changed from Chown's hall to the office of the Mosier Fruit Growers Association." This wan done because so many of the members are delinquent in their dues and r.ot enough money was in the treasury to pay the hall rent each week An effort will be made to have all live up to their obli gations of the society. Hugo E. Birkner tendered his resig nation as secretary-treasurer of the so ciety, and in his stead John M. Carroll was elected. Mr. Birkner will leave soon for Portland to make his home, His loss to the organization will be keenly felt as his knowledge of horti culture has proved invaluable in help ing to solve the many problems. - Led by C. L. Joy, the members all gave their views on the subject, "Cul tivation." their ideas were varied, nut tne exchange ol experiences brought out the diversified methods practiced. For the next meeting the topic under discussion will be "Market ing Cost." 9 Mosier Wins, 2119 It was a tired but victorious basket ball team that returned Satruday from Odell where they defeated the team from that place the night previous, Spectators report that it was one of the best games they had ever witnessed as the teams were evenly matched and both played clean ball. To the Mosier players much favorable mention was made regarding their sportsmanlike conduct, and the local boys speak in highest praise of their opponents. , The boys left here Friday noon in a sleigh with four horses attached.driven by J. P. Try on. After the game a dance was enjoyed and the team left early in the morning for home. Throughout the game the score was close. A return game will be played here in the near future. , Has Used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for 20 years! Chamberlain's cough remedy has been used iu my household for the past 20 years. I began giving it to my children when they were small. As a quick relief for croup, whooping cough and ordinary colds, it has no equal. Being free from opium and other harmful drugs, I never felt afraid to give it to the children. I have recommended if to a large number of friends and neighbors, who have used it and speaks highly of it," writes Mrs. Mary Minke, t-hortsville, N. Y. Obtain able everywhere.

It waa a great satisfac tion to find that thia new spray mater ial was really effective for this pur pose and that it did not produce on! the fruit the objectionable russeting eaused by the other. Lime-sulphur, however, is not perfect in all respects, for in the higher strengths it will cause burning of apple foliage and even in the lower dilutions, particularly with drenching, it may result in injury to folisge, al though this is not usually of great im portance. Under certain conditions, however, the injury may be quite se vere and in addition to scorch on the leaves there is also ia serious tendency to cause sunburn on the fruit in hot weather. . Other fungicides are now being tried out experimentally over the countrj and new combinationa of fungicides as well, in an attempt to find a suit able spraying program which will give the desired control of scab and avoid at the same time the injuries which have been mentioned. , The Oregon Agricultural College has been making tests for the past two years under the direction of Mr. Winston at the Hood River branch experiment station and some interesting facts bearing upon the problems of scab ccntro) have been brought to light. Some additional in vestigations have laid bare many of the reasons for the lack of success in scab control and have pointed out the way to remedy some of the difficulties. In connection with the work on apple scab in the Hood River valley it was found that the period of most abundant scab infection in 1913 occurred in the latter part of June. In the following year, on the other band, the most ser ious infection occurred previous to the time when the flower buds showed color. Furthermore, during the season of iyi5, however, the most disastrous infection occurred as a result of a long rainy period commencing perhaps two weeks after the petals began to fall. Each year there were a great many growers whose apple crops suffered badly, but at the same time each year threre were some whose apples were practically clean. Investigation showed that the men who had clean fiuit were those who had made an application of fungicide not long before the critical period. Thja is illustrated also in one locality where during the past season there was a spell of wet weather fav orable to scab four or five weeks after the bloom fell. In an orchard where the owner gave the usual four applies' tions there was but 5 per cent of scabby fruit. Another grower in the same district gave three sprayings with excellent control as far as he went, but omitted the fourth applies tion. After the rainy period referred to, 70 per cent of his fruit developed scab spots. It is evident, from these examples, that where there is such variability in weather conditions through the spring that in order to be certain of a clean crop the grower must protect his trees by a suitable fungicide throughout the entire season from the time the buds begin to open until all dinger of scab-favoring weather is past, or else he must acquire more skill as a weather piophet than most of us ever hope for? In addition to the poor results which have come from failure on the part of growers to keep their trees protected during the dangerous period, we must mention the poor results that are at tributable to lack of thoroughness. There are abundant instances in our apple-growing sections where two neighbors using practically the same spraying schedule will have entirely different results as far as scab control is concerned, simply because one has always done the work thoroughly while the other has not. Too great emphasis cannot be laid on thoroughness. Grow ers must understand clearly that any portion of the surface of a fruit or leaf not covered with spray mitxure natur ally remains unprotected against infec tion. A spore can germinate and pen e.trate fruit or foliage at any point where no fungicide has been deposited, Wherever destroying or plowing un der the fallen leaves has been done there seems to have resulted a marked dimination in the primary spring infec tions. We doubt whether it is possible to do so through a job, however, that spring spraying could be safely aban doned;but present evidence indicates that it is a desirable practice which ought to be encouraged. It may per haps be possible to destroy the fungus in the fallen leaves by some spray applied to them after tbey have fallen, but experiments with the standard fungicides have given negative results. These, however, form a practically in soluble coating on the exterior of the leaves and would not be likely to have any effect on the fungus which in this stage lies unprotected within the leaf tissues. In an orchard in the Willam ette valley, badly infected with scab last year, the owner sprayed part of it this spring just as the buds were swelling with pure bluestone (copper sulphate) at the rate of 2 pounds to 50 gallons of water, while part was left onsprayed. No further fungicidal ap plication was given. It is reported that on the sprayed, section 85 per cent of the fruit tree was free from scab, while the unsprsyed part yielded 75 per cent of scabby fruit. The only ex planation is that the application of copper sulphate reached the ground covered with old leaves and penetrat ing these killed the fungus, thus pre venting spore production from tbera and the consequent early infections. Regarding the use of different fungi cides, our expuriments In the Bood River valley have shown that various results may be expected according to time of application and the conditions to which the trees are subjected. We have found that Bordeaux and lime sulphur cannot be surpassed as fungi cides, but injury may be expected un der certain conditions already referred to. Soluble sulphur has given us se vere defoliation at the usual strength, as has been the experience of many growers and of other experimenters in : different parts of the country. Atomic sulphur is not likely to cause much in jury when its use is begun while the foliage is young, but in cool weather it seems to me much less efficient as a fungicide than the standard materials, while if thea first application ia made late in the spring, according to some growers, a considerable leaf-dropping may follow. A new preparation tried out for only one season, Barium-sul phur, seemed to give fairly satisfac tory scab control with the least injury of any substance.tried.A Further tests, however, should be made before any general adoption of this material can be advised. It is evident from the foregoing thst the intelligent grower must base his spraying methods upon a knowledge of the disease, and the factors that in fluence it, together with an under standing of the materials that may be employed for fungicides and the condi tions under which they may be safely used. There is absolutely no question but that apple scab can be successfully controlled if the fruit and foliage are properly protected. Spray, injury may not always be avoided, but much of it can be prevented by a wise selection of the material to be used at any particu lar stage. We have found in our scab control experiments lime-sulphur gave the better results with less injury than any other fungkajde wbich has been used throughout the season, and we therefore recommend it to those who prefer sticking to one kind of material throughout. The first application for safety ought to be given just after the cluster buds unfold and before the leaves get to be much larger than squirrels' ears. This "semi-dormant" application gave an increase of from 30 to 60 per cent in clean fruit over plots sprayed first in the "pink" in one of our Hood River orchards this year. We'used lime-sulphur, 1-20, and added a nicotine sul phate preparation to take care of the insects. Some burning was experi enced and possibly a slight dwarfing of the first leaves, but the injury was in significant in view of the benefit derived. The second application should be made in the "pink" stage, that is just before the blossoms open. Here we used lime-sulphur 1-35 with good re sults. Bordeaux caused russeting in our plots last season where used at this time, contrary to the UBual expec tations. The third spray is the"calyx" spray, applied when most of the petals have fallen. Lime-sulphur 1-35, with arse nate of lead for codling moth should be used. The fourth spray should be given about ten days later. Under average conditions lime-sulpLur 1-35 seems to give the most satsfactory results. A fifth spray ought to be applied a month after blosoming and-where the down had disappeared from the fruit, especially in the case of varieties not extremely subject to russeting. Bor deaux may be used in the 3-3-50 or 4-4-50 strength. The omission of this application is not safe in most apple sections. Lime-sulphur 1-35 may, of course, be used where burning is not feared. The summer season is rarely favor able to scab, and where the orchard has been well taken care of in the spring there will be little trouble from serious new infections in the average fall. It would be safer, of course, to protect the fruit with an application of Bordeaux or lime-sulphur eome time in August or early September. If the foliage is well covered in the fall from the start few leaves would receive the infections which oridnanly result in the development of the winter stage, In other words, the primary spring in fection might be materially reduced. The majority of previous experiments with fall spraying have been begun too late to be effective. During the paBt season, bad as it has been, many growers from different sections of the state have secured a crop of 90 to 95 per cent clean fruit when their neighbors had only 5 to 25 per cent free from apple scab, with only spraying to account lor the differ ences. Whenever there was failure in spraying it is attributable in practi cally all cases either to failure to have the trees protected at some critical time or to lack of thoroughness in doing the work. Apple scab can be controlled in this state or any other when "the right materials are used in the right way and at the right time." How Mr. Davis got rid of a bad Cough ''Sometime ago I had a very bad cough," writes Lewis T. Davis, Black water, Del. "My brother, McCabe Davis, gave me a small bottle of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy. After taking this I bought a half dozen bottles of it bot only used one of them as the cough left me and I have not been troubled since." Obtainable everywhere.
