just where the worms are sure to get
it as we do by putting it into the ca
lix cup for the first brood. 1t is very
important, therefore, that the first and
second spraying be done at the right
time and in the right manner. In
fact, some of our best authorities
claim that if the two first sprayings
are thoroughly done there will be no
no need of the additional ones. While
this is plausible, the experience of the
writer causes him to dissent from this
view In this dissent he is sustained
by many of our best authorities
The recommendation of many of
our best men is to spray the second
time two or three weeks after the
first. The writer, however, sprays the
second time just as soon as it can be
DONE The object of this second spray
ing is mainly to fill the calix cup of
the few apples that are late in bloom
ing. The poison in the cup will not
lose it's stength and cannot be easily
blown out so that part of the apple is
protected for the most of the sum-
mer. But when the second brood be-
gins to hatch out and the apples have
attained considerable size then it is
necessary to coat the young apples
and the leaves as completely as 1t
can be done. Usually the time for
the third spraying will be about
the middle of July, but to be sure
to be ready for the second brood
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1906-04-15

begin ten days earlier. Not much
of this material can be put into
the calix cup, SO the apples and leaves
the third spraying spray the fourth
time and once again in two or three
weeks. This makes five sprayings
from the time of falling of the bloom
to the middle of August. Whether
any more spraying are profitable is d
debatable question. Volck, OF Call
fornia, recommends ninie sprayingS,
and in some localities this may be
necessary. Better spray every two
weeks than lose your apple crop.
From what is said above it is evil
dent that the spraying must be so
done at first as to fill the calix cup.
Considerable force must be used and
the spray material must be so di-
rected as to strike the open ends of
the apples. Ball, of the Utah Expert
ment Station, says that this spray
should be from above. He recon-
mends a tower on the spray wagon
where the men operating the spray
nozzles can send the material down
ward But this use of the tower may
be obviated by the use of iron rods
the ends of the hose. To these rods
the nozzles may be SO attached that
they will throw the material down
must be thoroughly coated. AS the
apples grow larger there will be much
space not covered with the spray
wash, so in two or three weeks after
ward. Jones, of Spokane, claims to
have invented a rod that works in this
way admirably. He should put this
invention on the market if it is as
good as he claims, and we have no
reason to doubt his word. To sum
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1906-04-15

up, the two first sprayings must be
done with force and be directed at the
open ends of the apples. Don't spray
when the trees are in full bloom, for
the material may affect the pollenat-
ing of the fruit and may kill some
bees, although there seems not to be
any proof of this killing of bees.
AS the object of the latter sprayings
is to coat the young apples and the
leaves, it is apparent that fine misty
spray sent in all directions through
the trees is the best. In doing these
sprayings it will often be necessary
for the ones handling the hose to get
down on their knees and shoot the
material upward through the trees.
No SLOUGH work must be permitted.
From all the information the writer
can obtain it would seem that the
dust spray may be profitably USED
for the first sprayings, but for the
subsequent sprayings it has but little
value. If the dry material is put into
the caliX cup and it closes it will
hold it there; in other cases it will
blow away.

Orchard Problems
The Matter of Spraying.

In spraying for the codling moth, it
is not enough that we use the right
kind of material. 1t is important that
we spray at the right time and in the
right manner. The first spraying
should be made as soon as the petals
have fallen. 1t will not do to wait
till every vestige of the bloom has
disappeared. The open blossom end
of the young apple is called the calix
cup. This cup stands wide open dur
ing the time of blooming but within a
few days, not more than ten as rule,
the cup closes up. I would recommend
that the inexperienced grower care
fully watch these caliX cups So long
as the calix cups are open it is an
easy matter to put the spray material
into them but once they are closed
this cannot be done, or at the very
best very imperfectly done. Now, it
is we'll known that not less than 80
per cent of the first brood Of cooling
moth worms enter the apples at the
blossom end. If, therefore, we can
fill the calix cup with poison we can
kill the most of the worms entering
at that point. This makes the early
spraying a matter of great Importance.
If we wait ten days after the falling
of the bloom we can put but very little
of the poison into the blossom end OF
the apples where it is most needed.
1t is true that at the time of this
first spraying there are no worms to
enter the apples for the eggs have
not yet begun to hatch. But ii We
wait till the Matching begins we can
not place the poison where it will do
the most good. Then again we may
remark that the first brood of worms
do not ordinarily do much harm to the
apples. We think, after careful OBJ
servation, that one to two per cent
of loss is about what we have from
the first brood or up to the middle OF
July. This is practically no loss at
all for these wormy apples could be
picked off in thinning. But every
worm of the first brood that escapes
will become the parent Of many more
Just how many we do not know, as
authorities differ on this point. We
do not kill the first brood of worms be-
cause of the harm they may do, but
because in this way we lessen the
damage from the next brood. BY kill
ing the parents we kill the progeny
in greatly increased numbers Besides
this, majority of the second brood
and whatever there is of third brood
enter the apples at the sides and it is
much more difficult to place the poison

Last spring we top-worked about
eleven hundred apple trees. The work
is an eminent success. The CRAFTS
grew eighteen inches to six feet in
length. We have cut off all the other
limbs this spring. In three years
from the time of grating we expect
good tops on these trees when Ben
Davis, Missouri Pippin and Northern
Spy trees will be bearing Spleen
bergs, Jonathans and Rome Beauties.
We expect to top-work five hundred
more this spring.

ATHENA, FEBRUARY 16 1906

The initiative being invoked this
year is likely to result in untold con-
fusion and disaster. A dozen or more
laws have Eeen prepared and have
been or will be submitted for the ap-
proval of the people at the June elec-
tion. Some are long and complex.
Some are conflicting with the re-
quirements of others simultaneously
submitted. Two laws on the same
subject might be adopted at the same
election-the result might cause un-
told confusion. Courts would be call
ed upon to unravel the mystery. Spec
ial sessions of the Legislature might
be invoked to undo what the people
have, in their unwise haste and
ardent desire to better their condi-
tions, brought upon themselves.
Every voter should study well every
measure submitted, and if not con-
vinced, it is meritorious, vote no. No
ballot should be left blank. Vote no,
unless convinced the proposed law is
Just and needed.

LODGE DAMNs WITH FAINT PRAISE
Spok Review.


Senator Lodges speech on railroad
rate legislation does not ring true.
While he announced his support of
legislation along the lines Of the Esch-
Townsend bill of the last session, he
did SO in halfhearted manner, and
the whole tenor Of his speech was cal
culated to damn with faint praise"
the presidents efforts to bring about
the great reform.
The burden of Senator Lodges
speech was that the chief evil is re-
bate and if that were corrected it
would be doubtful whether further
Legislation would be desirable towards
checking determinations as between
individuals and communities. In
support of this theory Mr.. Lodge used
statistics as to freight rates in the
British isles and Europe, declaring
that the United States has lower rates
than any other country, but failing
to point out the essential fact that the
conditions are altogether different.
While the average rate per ton mile
may be lower in the United States,
it should be remembered that in the
British isles and European countries
freight traffic is largely matter of
short hauls, and there must be great
deal of handling of freight per mile as
compared with the immensely longer
hauls in this country. Conditions
are SO essentially different, for ex-
ample, in the British isles that rail
road men when asked why they still
adhered to the old type of little
freight cars run on four wheels and
carrying scarcely more than good
sized moving van point out the differ
ent conditions under which they
handle freight and freight is handled
in this country, and declare that the
energetic American freight cars would
be totally unsuited to their traffic.
In this country, where it is often
the case that car will be loaded on
one side of the continent and carried
to the other side for unloading, and
where the railroads with their power
full locomotives will move an immense
ly greater volume of tonnage with a
single crew, the railroads can we'll
afford to make relatively low rate
per ton mile, and the fact that the
Iate per mile may appear lower than
the European rate is no evidence at
all that the rate here is reasonable.
We can do great many things more
cheaply in this country than the same
things can be done in Great Britain.
For example, with our different meth
DDS we can profitably grow wheat at

President Roosevelt has another i'm
portant task on hand requiring STRAIT
egy and strenuosity in its accomplish
ment. The navy may suffer serious
loss by the dismissal of so many
cadets from the academy for hazing.
The law is quite strict and the ca
diets reckless in their boyish pranks, so
that dismissal is unavoidable unless
the laws are modified or changed to
meet the exigencies of the situation.
The president has asked congress to
make the necessary changes in the
law. He would have the hazers
punished without dismissing them.

this may be wrong conclusion based

Senator Lodge must know also that
even il the average charge per ton
per mile were reasonable in this
country there might be, and undoubt-
edly are, innumerable instances of ex-
cessive freight rates. A shipper here
is not concerned with the average
rate per mile the country over.
What concerns him is the freight rate
that he is paying. For example, the
official report Of the Great Northern
admits that its rates in the state of
Washington are twice as high as its
average rates over its entire system.
If the rates are reasonable in this
country and there is no discrimination
a between communities, why are rail-
roads SO desperately combating the
principal of government regulation?
The interstate commerce commission
cannot lower a rate unless it shall be
shown after full investigation that
the rate complained of is excessive,
and even then the railroads will have
their appeal to the courts.
Senator Lodges speech is interest
ing as indicating the cue that will be
taken by number of senators who,
while pretending to support the presi
dents policy, will trump up all sorts
of objections and difficulties against a
vigorous enforcement Of that policy.

Lamont has comparatively new in
dustry of which very little is known by
the most of our people. The cement
block machine purchased by G. Fl. Derry
last season is kept busy and it keeps
them hustling to fill their orders. The
first thing Mr.. Derry did was to put up
two-story ten-room house with base
ment for himself. This was mostly
built last fall but was not finished till
this spring. The blocks are used in
nearly all places that brick or rock are
generally used and some places it takes
the place of lumber. They are used for
cellar and foundation walls, house
walls, chimneys, furnace jackets, etc.
cement is sure to play an important
part in the improvements of the future.
