A campaign of education as well
as law enforcement has been COM
menced by E. C. Armstrong, fruit
inspector of Marion county. This
week is holding meetings in differ cal
parts Of the county for the purpose
Of giving growers an opportunity IL
learn what should be done with their
orchards in order to clean them up
and improve the quality of their fruit
next season.
Mr.. Armstrong has also issued a
circular which gives in condenSed
form much practical information de-
sired by growers. This circular will
do much toward inducing the growers
to spray, for it tells them how to pre-
pare for the work. The text of the
circular follows:
Formula for winter spray: Is
pounds of unsIacked lime, Is pounds
of pulverlzed sulphur, so gallons. Of
water.
Get some Kind Of vessel in which
you can cook 20 gallons. A good
cheap vat is made by using wooden
sides and ends and sheetiron bottom.
or wooden sides with sheetiron bot
tom and ends. Have the wooden part
one and one-half or two inches thick,
and have the sheetiron bottom ex-
tended two inches past the sides.
Put in the vat Is or 20 gallons of
water. Heat it to near the boiling
point. Put in the Is pounds of lime
and stir 1t a little with a paddle or
hoe to keep it from burning. Add the
15 pounds of sulphur, and boil hard
for az least an hour. A longer time
would be better. When 1t is done the
dry sulphur will all be dissolved and
the material will have almost blood
red appearance. Strain this thorough
ly when it is put into the barrel so no
sediment will clog the nozzle when
spraying. Add enough water to make
so gallons. Use while warm.
You cannot cook the material too
much. One hour hard boiling is
worth more than two hours simmer
ing. 1t would be well to keep the vat
covered while boiling.
The liquid will not spoil if it cannot
DE used for a few days after being
cooked. But it is better to use it
while fresh.
Use a nozzle that can be easily
cleaned.
DO not spray while it is raining, or
while the trees are wet with fog.
Use only the spray formulas rec
commended by the state hoard of hor-
ticulture. They have been tested by
the different state experiment stations
and by the government authorities,
ami only the hest are recommended.
So do not try experiments, it costs too
much and you will accomplish moth
ing.
The lime and sulphur spray is
equally as good as a fungicide as an
insecticide.
Some of the worst things that we
have to contend with are fungus dis

eases. The winter spray will do more
to eradicate them than anything else
you can do.
The old orchard should be thor
oughly pruned and all worthless trees
taken and burned before the spraying
is done.
In pruning the old neglected trees
it is not a question of scientific prun-
ing so much as getting the trees in
shape so they can be sprayed.
The spray would be more effective
cn the old trees if the rough bark
and thickest of the moss was scraped
off. i'
The winter spray will affect the
codling moth but little, if any.
Young orchards that seem to be
perfectly clean should be sprayed. 1t
will act as a tonic to the trees. A
preventative is better than a cure.

CLUB FOR MINERS.
Sam Davis Great Scheme to Use Up
Some Surplus Coin.

Some Surplus Coin.
The miners OF the world will soon
have a palatial clubhouse in Oakland
to cost all of s1,000,00o, says a San
Francisco dispatch. Financial inter-
ests have been approached and the
plan seems assured of success. Sam
Davis of Carson City, is responsible
for the idea.
The plan is that all mining men be
admitted to the club on payment of
$1,000. Eighty-seven prominent min
ing men on this state and Nevada
have already been secured. 1t is
thought at least 1000 can be brought
in, making a total sum OF $1,000, 600.
Splendid mineral exhibits will be
installed in the club building and ar
rangements made for the holding OF
the mining congresses. In general
terms 1t is planned to make the club
one for the miners of the world.
Monday afternoon a meeting was held
in the Farmers and Merchants bank
on Broadway, and preliminary steps
were taken to carry out the plans.
