The committee authorised tbe prep aration of a bill tp be submitted at the June meeting of the advisory Itoard in Seattle. If approved there it will be submitted to the Oregon legislature next year. Mr. Dexter, who te with the sales deportment of the Apple Growers Asso ciation here, presided at the Roseburg meeting. It was the first session of the ad tsory board ever held outside of one of the Pacific northwestern metropoli tan pointe. Other loi-al men who were at the Roseburg meeting were: I’. L.

When it te considered that the insecticide indus try te only flfly years old, it te remark able to think of the advanivs that have been made. For instance, from Its In troduction in lKlt3 until 1911, arsenate of lead was a páste product, one-half water and one-half arsenate of lead. In 1911 a prix-ess for eliminating the water was developed, and for several years now practically W0% of the ar senate of lead produced te the dry form. The greatest all-around spray ma terial on the market te lime sulfur, which te used both as a dormant and as a summer spray for the control of many insects and the prevention fft innumerable plant diseases. The value of Hine sulphur as a control of San Jose scale was discovered in California some thirty years ago—it was th« n the old lime-sulfud-Mlt wash used as a stock dip, and entirely a home made product. As It became more generally used as a tree spray, the salt was elim inated and mannfactun'rs began mak ing It In a concentrated form for re sale purposes. From a crude unreli able product, it bts-ame a highly con centrated uniform material, and as now manufactured by reliable concerns, tests uniformly 82-34* Baum«* with a high percentage of polysulfides. Several years ago. Dr. E. C. Holton, chief chemist for the Sherwin-Williams company, discovered and patented a process for removing the water from lime sulfur solution, thereby elimin ating its principal disadvantages, which are so many and so well known that there is no need to enumerate them here. This discovery of Dr. Holton was tbe greatest single improvement in any insecticide made up to that time. In the proi-ess of manufacture of dry 11 me sulfur the making of lime sulfur solution of the highest possible staiuF ard qoniefi first. This is cooked under carefully controlled conditions with tbe reHtilt that every batch te of the Mme uniform consistency. To this liquid 1s then added a hydrocarbon stabilizer „after which the water is evaporated st a fairly low temperature by a vacuum process. The resultant powder is screened, and where necesMry ground and screened, - and finally sealed in air tight packages, ready for shipment. Every pound of 8W dry lime sulphur must pass through a 50 ^nesh screen, thereby insuring uniformity of texture and ready solubility. It has been years since a complaint of insolubility has I hm ' ii received. Before being placed on the market in 19Ht. 8W dry lime sulfur was subjected to a long series of testif in tbe field in order to determine its efficiency as an Insecticide. Froqj these field tests the proper strengths at which it should be used, were formulated. Twelve years of use In all fruit growing sections from Maine to California and from Florida to Washington have resulted In the confirmation of these recom mendations. When used according to the recom inendations of the Hherwin-Williams company, there is actually in solution in the dormant spray only approxi mately two-thirds as much sulfur as Is necessary where lime sulfur solution is used. This has caused much comment from some horticultural experts who cannot see how it is possible for two-' thirds of a pound of sulfur in dry lime ■niftir to accomplish equal results to one pound in lime sulfur solution. To explain this, it must be borne in mind that in order to prevent tbe breaking down of the polysulfidea during the drying proceaa, a stabilizer te added to the liqnid. This stabiliser then acts in one or both of two ways in the ap plied spray. First, it retards the break ing down or oxidation of the spray, making it effective over a longer period than is possible with lime sulfur solu tion. In this way a smaller amount of suitor oxidising over a longer period, accompUMies -the same results as s larger amount active over a shorter period. Inasmuch as the stabilizer is colloidal in nature, it forms a more or less impervious film over ths Insect that the spray coven, with the result that the dry lime sulfur in oxidizing draws a larger proportion of oxygen from the air, than te the case with lime sulfur solution. Whichever te the more important ac tion, nevertheless, twelve years’ com mercial uMge of millions of pounds an nually from coast to coast have defin itely proven the correetnSM of the com pany’s recommendations. A final thought to be borne in mind Is that while occasionally a few horti cultural authorities may question the effectiveness of dry lime sulfur, never theleos. an organisation capitalised at over 40 million dollars and with an annual business of approximately 00 million dollars te back of dry lime sul fur. They cannot afford to make in correct recommendations of misleading claims as to tbe efficiency of tbe prod uct. for such would result tn a loss of confidence in the integrity of the com pany. It is unreasonable to even pre sume that any group tut business men who have built up a 00 million dollar business would deliberately jeopardize it in'Wn endeavor to put over a prod uct whose annual sale amounts to only 1% of their entire business Business te based on confidence and confidence is gained through integrity and reliability, consequently, when the Bberwtn-Wll Hams company recommends their dry lime sulfuf at certain lengths, It can Mfely be relied upon to accomplish the results claimed for it. i outer, who will have fresh In mind, the things that detract from the beauty of our city.

Emil Jannings, the great European character artist, who has acumi so heavily in this country with “Th«' Wa^ of AU Flesh” and ethers for Para mount, has never bad a scene “»tolen" from him by another actor. When the cast was selected to sup port Mr. Jannings for “The La-t Com mand” all Hollywood was agog, for the cast included one of the greatest scene "thieves” in the industry, that person being William Powell, who portrays suave villain rotes.

No thing on earth moved Bill to mirth—hi* earnest new was deadly: from alley smells to school-kid yells he raged in ranting medley. A Chamber man at last began to weary of Bill’s knocking and had his say in Bill’s own way, Bill’s very meth od of mocking. He wrote, “Oh Bill, you bitter- pill, you are moot hard to swallow. Your nagging lines, your snarls and whines—how many more must follow? - The city needs your facile screeds to boost Instead of hide it; if it’s astray, yotf*know the way to help it and to guide It.
