Fighting Fruit Tree Pests.

Ed. MASON COUNTY JOURNAL:
The green aphis are in some local.
ties attacking young trees severely this
month and may do serious damage in
prematurely checking growth. There
is also another leaf lice working on the
leaves of apple trees, also on some of
the forest trees. It is described by
Prof. Johnson of the State University
as a species of tingis. 1t is oval shap-
ed, fattened, ribbed in squares and
silvery white. It feeds in colonies on
the underside of the leaf, leaving it a
rusty, dark dust color.
For all these lice attackin the leaves
the most effective remedy, and harm
less to foliage, is the quassia chips and
soap, used at the rate of one pound of
each to from 10 to II gallons water.
See formula and direction for prepar-
ing in one Of the Board of Horticul-
tnre Reports.
Where no quassia is at hand end
there being only a few trees, warm soap
water used at about 125 degrees may
be applied and will destroy many of
the lice.
1t is rather difficult to apply any
remedy which will destroy the woollv
aphis without iniuring the foliage
though where they cover the young
limbs a solution of the quassia and
soap used III proportion of one pound
of each to six gallons water, is suffici-
entity strong to penetrate their woollv
covering and destroy th9m without in
iuring the foliage wherever the solution
can reach by means OF spray or swab.
The most important remedy for
woolly aphis is the lime sulphur and
salt, applied early in the fall when the
foliage is shed. The Bordeaux mix
ture, (Auestone and lime) applied in a
diluted form in early summer, and at
the rate Of 6 lbs. bluestone, 10 lbs. lime
10 gallons water in the dormant seasons
is one OF our most important remedies

The Editorial Junket.

We spent last week attending the
annual meeting of the State Press
Association at Everett, the getty of
smokestacks. Owing to the press of
local matter of more interest to our
readers, we are obliged to "kill" the
account of the trip in the main.
Everett is thrifty, growing city, and
certainly wonder, considering that
a city on Port Gardner was not thought
OF until after the late lamented BOOM
1t is city of magnificent distances
scattered between the bay, and the
Snohemish river, and about equally di-
vided on both sides. Miles of planked
streets, number of fine brick bust
ness blocks and other substantial i'm
provements are evidence of the vast
sums of money expended in Everett
Besides several saw and shingle mills
| four big establishments are located
there. The paper mill, smelter, nail
works and barge works. The latter is
not engaged in building a whaleback
at present, so was not visited but the
smelter near by is an immense plant,
and is now in full operation. Big
piles of bars of bu lion were evidence
of the extensive output. About two
miles further up the river is the paper
mill, the largest in the West. Tn ere
we followed stick OF foot spruce
cordwood through the various process
es until it came out of the calendering
machine an endless roll of fine book
paper, or cut in the various sizes of
flats. The company manufacture all
kinds of book, MANILA and fine wrapp-
ing papers, but not "news" at present,
although new process is being added
which will reach the same results with
another and cheaper chemical process.
The process gof making nails is east
iv understood. First the big coils of
wire are boiled in watts to remove the
rust and dirt, then dried in kiln.
After being drawn through machines
which reduce the size they are ready
for the nail machines which turn out
nails faster than one can count, max
ing the complete nail ut one sta n p
About 40 machines OF various sizes are
at work.
One day was spent in trip to the
Monte CristO mines in the Cascades,
which is reached by the Everett &
Monte Cristo Railroad over so miles
of road which cost over two million
dollars. Monte Cristo is typical min
ing town, located in gulch in the
mountains. There two big concentra-
tors are at work, and the processes are
interesting.
The people 81 Everett laid them selves
out and nothing was too good for the
"press gang" About sixty editors
were in Attendance, and large num-
Der of new applications were received

Editor Astorian:-
1t mas been truly said that when the

plains, and such is the fact, for there
are not less than fourteen engaged In
digging clans from Skipanon and vi
cinity. not to mention those engaged In
lhe same business at the seaside; the
clans are sold in Astoria and Port
land, and bring from rs cents to 81 per
box. We also have a canning factory
at Warrenton, which cans and ships
Clatsop clans to other parts Of the
state and outside the state.

San Francisco. Jan. 20, 1895.

The entertainment given last night
by the members of the ladies annex to
the A. f. C. was successful even beyond
the most sangulne expectations of the
promoters. All the seats were occu-
pied, and but little standing room
was available when the program be-
gan. Space will not permit of the
publication of detailed account of the
affair, but it is sufficient to say that the
young ladies displayed a most remark
able degree of proficiency in their drills
ard callsthenic exercises, and those
present were more than pleased at the
graceful evolutions. The musical pro-
gram was short, but 1t was exceedingly
good and all of the ladies who SC
kindly assisted in contributing so large
ly to the success of the entertainment
were at their best. Each of the singers
received hearty and well deserved
encore. all of which we're gracefully re-
spoaded to, and the fact that the
acoustic properties of the hall have
been practically spoiled by the recent
improvements, was not sufficient to mar
the complete enjoyment by the audience
Of each and every song that was rem
dered.

Wednesday in coming down the river
che steamer Potter ran on sandbar
