and higher sections of fruit country
have to contend" said Fruit Inspector
George w. Ferguson this morning.
1.-THE little borer attacks the base Of
the apple trees in the higher and cold
er climates. In the Anatone country,
the same as In the orchards about
Pullman, Moscow and in the Palouse
country, the orchardists are having
much trouble with the pest, which
girdle the trees, cutting the bark in
such manner as to suck the very
existence from them. AS conse-
quence the tree dies.
Few Pests Here.
| I'm Charleston, Almota and the lower
Snake river country we are not both
cred to a great extent with the borer
because of the climate being more
mild and warmer earlier in the spring
seasons. We have to tight incessant-
ly the San Jose scale and the scabby
tree pests, and have at this time in
the year, conquered them easily.
"The apples from the Palouse and
Wenatchee countries won prizes at the
st. Louis and other fairs. But today,
because of the apple borer, those same
apple orchards are being killed, and
probably will never again yield as
great or bounteous a harvest as they
did two or three years ago
Using Fifty Spraying Machines.
Il find that there are at least so
spraying machines in Asotin county.
The work is we'll under way and will
be completed in week. Orchards in
both the upper and lower Snake river
countries have already been sprayed"
Brown Says "See Twins Grow"
"As a suggestion to the Booster
club OF Lewiston, would say that
while the slogan, Beware of Lewiston
is not a poor saying, there might be
better ones selected" said Frank e.
Brown of Charleston this morning. "I
agree with several other residents of
Charleston in the proposition that but
one booster club should be formed for
the, two cities. We are practically one
city and should work together as sucr
SHOULD two booster organization
be formed it would serve to ALLEVIATE
the two cities, fighting on an indie
pendent basis, while at this time,
what is good for Lewiston is good for
Charleston, and vice versa.
Il would suggest the slogan See the
Twins Grow, as fitting to the work
being done"
