Admiral Sampson, who has Just re-
turned from Havana, where he has
been on duty as a member of the
evacuation commission, says that while
many Cubans are anxious to set up
an independent government, the bet
ter classes on the island. including
most OF the men of wealth and prestige
in business affairs, are practically
unanimous in favor of the u. S. tax
lrg the island for keeps, instead of
only temporarily. The Admiraps
own opinion is shat the Cubans are in
no condition, at this time, to success
fully establish and maintain govern
ment OF their own, and, while he does
not say as much, the impression one
gathers from talking with him, is that
he doubts whether they ever will be.

Does Spraying Pay?

From % to 60 per cent of the apple
crop in the Pacific Northwest is infest-
ed with the worm of the Goblin moth.
Some OF the leading apple growers who
have sprayed three or four times with
the Bordeaux and Paris green, reports
from IS to IS per cent of good apples,
free from blemishes. The cost will
averageless than five cents per bushel
of the fruit and this year prices run
from rs cents to 81 per box for the
choice grades, while the worm infested
fruit is not marketable at all in any
quantity.
Mr.. J. NJ. Wallace, the leading apple
grower at Salem, Oregon, kept 2 spray
ing wagons at work last spring, each
with double set of hose. AS elsewhere
in apple sections there was plenty OF
moth at Salem, but Mr. Wallace kept
his fruit in such condition that 5000
boxes Spitzenbergs sold Tor $3,OOo
early in the fall with very small per
cent of discarded fruit. Having a
lars er acreage, Mr.. Wallace will set an
additional outfit at work next season.
He believes it pays.
Mr.. P. Walden at Zillah, Yakima
county, reports about 80 per cent OF
his fruit free from ravages of the moth.
He has sprayed three times. Several
of the orchards in Yakima county
which were untreated have mere than
two-thirds of the apple crop infested,
so it will not pass inspection. Mr..
Walden is Of the opinion that his
work has paid him we'll.
Much has been said and written about
spraying and fruit growers must prac-
tice it with intelligence.in order to
receive the greatest benefit from the
work and to make it pay.-Northwest
