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.

Stmvart-Wanw* T«Ur C.U m 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.
