1t you'll see spots at all hours of the
day or night.
The black spot apple canker is the
same as the apple rot, as has been
proven by experiment. The Bordeaux
mixture is the proper caper if you don't
like the spot. Petroleum emulsion is
being experimental with, but it has
killed trees and may kill yours. The
Wealthy, Gravenstein, Blue Pearmain,
None Such and Yellow Bellflower are
varieties especially subject to this
"spot.h The Bordeaux mixture washes
off much less readily than if combined
with the petroleum emulsion, but the
latter is not yet recommended to grow
ers. Spray about November |. Use
the Bordeaux mixture thick and plenty
it. The spots are from a half inch to
three feet in length. The bark will
drop second year. 1t is an internal
parasite. You can prevent it but you
cannot cure it. Coat your trees thor
oughly; leave them blue. If rain
washes It off, repeat the application
and persist in it. The petroleum in the
emulsion named is the crude oil as it
comes from the California oil wells.
The black spot is very prevalent in
Western Oregon--not SO prevalent east
of the mountains. The period of its
active growth is in winter. Itisa good
idea to spray with double strength of
Bordeaux mixture just after apples are
gathered. It natures and throws off
its spores in spring and early summer
months; these spores lodge in live tis-
sues and lie dormant till cool, damp
weather, then become active and de-
strOy the tissues. Cutting out is of no
avail

windows and a pinch-faced housewife

| hog had to come. He claimed that
every well-regulated household should
have one hog or more, and that our
bOuntiful supply of acorns showed this
to be the natural home of the hog.
His attention was called to the fact
that the acorn crop only came once in
six years, and that during the five
years of famine the hog even might get
despondent, and picking acorns for
hogs wasn't popular on this side of the
river. Before he got through he con.
vinced us all of the economic value of
the pig OH the farm, and some of our
that escaped from the dock recently on
landing. The pig is scavenger and
eats by-products, turning waste into
money for pork. Our meat is imported
and our by products go to waste in vio-
lation of an economic law. Hogs will
live on waste supplemented by grain
food and pay expenses of the farm,
leaving crops clear net profit. In parts
of Eastern Washington its value is un-
derstood and great profits are realized.

Pasture rather than cut and feed. With

2. This water, termed the underaow,
can easily be made available by sinking
pipe wells, with slotted strainers, into
the gravel strata at comparatively low
cost.
8. The station at Mesilla Park sank
an experimental well six inches in d.
ameter and 4S feet deep from which
was pumped continuous stream of
over 1000 gallons a minute.
4. From this well il was found
possible, using a 20 horse power steam
engine with tornillo wood as fuel, to ir-
rigate average land three inches deep
at a maximum cost of 81 to GA cents an
acre, according to the pump used.
This estimate is for short runs; for
long runs this cost will probably be re-
duced, a point to be determined later.
8. Eight pumps of various types and
sizes were tested by the station upon
the well above referred to and cOmpar-
ative results are set forth in tabular
form.
8. A comparative test of four kinds
of fuel was made and the results are

another bank here, parties having been
here investigating during the past two
or three weeks and expressed them
selves as being well pleased with the
outlook.
We have also learned from good
authority that negotiations are being
made with an experienced laundry man
ager to build a large steam laundry
here, this something which is much
needed and would be a good paying

work was proved: Several other pro-
