Report of C O. Huelat. custodian of
the municipal automobile park, to the
city council Monday night showed that
receipt» for the month of September

half of revenue from the park A year
ago for the month of September. The

let last year to bv operated on a divi
sion of receipts. Mr. Huelat, accord
lug to the agreement, waa to receive
the first SIMM) and the city the second
$1500. Then Mr- Huelat waa to receive
$000 and the etty $000. The remain
der of the revenue, if any had accrued,
was to be divided equally.
Mr. Huelat realized hi» full $1500
In August and also turned over to the
city an approximate $350 for that
moiith.
Because competition of private parka
baa made the city park a losing ven
ture after the height of the motoring
season ba* jiassed, the council ha* de
cided to clone the municipal i>ark.
The council decided to adopt an or
dinance that will prevent owners or
»iterator* of automobile parks from
using ]*tiblic thoroughfares in soliciting
patronage of motor tourists.
A group of women met with the
council to appeal for a local Imard of
cwiaora for pictures to be ahown here.
After a conference it waa decided to
appotut the following cAmmittee to
meet with the city attorney, E. C.
Smitli. the judiciary committee of the
vouricil and Manager Kolatad in an
endeavor to reach some agreement aa

Strawberry Root Weevil
(By Leroy Cbilda)
During the past summer the station
has been making some observations
relative to tlio activities of a new poi
soned halt used for the control of the
strawberry root weevil. Owing to the
fact material was not available, the
tests were not started until July,
which was too late to destroy the
earliest emerging tieetles of the second
brood. The poison was applied at that
time and the plauts have been watched
at regular intervals throughout the
summer. The results obtained thus
far indicate that the liait has great
possibilities In materially assisting In
controlling this most serious straw-
berry pest. Practically KM) per cent
of the beetles alsrnt the tialted plants
have been destroyed since this appli
cation.
The poison lias also lieen under ob
servation at the Western Washington
experiment station under the direction
of Arthur Frank, who reports very
favorably on the matter. Owing to the
fail the discovery is relatively new.
teats have not lieen carried on suffi
ciently long to determine the lon.plete-
ness of control or the advisability of
its general use. The poison is the dis
covery of M. J. Forsell, of ■ Beattie.
Wash., farmerly a fruit inspector nnd
now a mmnlwr of the Federal Horti
cultural Board, who has l«en werk'ng
on this subject for several y.-srs. Pro
viding the poison lives up to prelim
inary olMiervatioti* the dls< every will
be of great assistance to th) straw
berry Industry of this district.
The manufacture of the bait has not
lieen. put upon a commercial basis as
yet and the coat8 of application are
not definitely known by Mr. Forsell at
thia time, but he has indicated it will
not I m » exioasive and will lx* low
enough so growers can afford to use It.
