GOBLIN MOTH sFRAY
Something Farmers Ask For
Also the Paris Green Mixture.

AS the time ter spraying to-
Goblin moth is near at hand
farmers, fruitmen and others art
beginning to inquire tor the for
mula for the spray that is. usee
for this destructive pest Fortu
natelv for all Prof. A B. Cord
ley of OAC has just issued an in
s'ructive bulletin that contains
the desired information, which i:
here given tor the benefit of al
interested.
The ''Arsenate of Lead" for
mula is as follows:
Arsenate of soda q ounces
Acetate of lead II ounces
Water IS to 90 gallons
"Dissolve the arsenate of sods
in two quarts and the acetate ot
lead in four quarts Of warm wa.
ter. When dissolved add them
to the required amount OF water.
This formula is especially valua.
hle for spraying very delicate
foliage or for use against insects,
which are killed only by large
amounts of poison, since it can
be used upon plants in much
stronger solutions than the other
food poisons without injury to
the foilag>. Our results for the
past two years show this to be
among the best, if not the very
best, of the remedies now used
for the Goblin moth. For the
first spraying, soon after he
petals fall, l still prefer to use
Paris green. but for later applica-
tions, I prefer to use the arsenate
of lead. Last season one sprav-
ing with Paris green followed bv
four applications OF arsenic Of
lead gave o8 per cent of apples
free from worms. On check
trees not SPRAYED approximately
40 per cent of the fruit was
wormy.
''Several brands of prepared
Arsenic of lead, among which the
"Swift's Arsenic of Lead" are
on the market and can be used in
place OF the above preparation if
preferred.

Sermon by Phone.


There need be no more max
ing excuses for not being present
at your regular church services.
No one will know but what you
heard it all by phone at home,
so great are the inventions of the
present day. -.~.
Over in Albany, Sunday, sixty
people who were not present lis
tened to Rev. White, pastor o.
the UHited Presbyterian church,
while he preached to a large
audience who werein attendance.
The "Christophone,'' installed
last week in the church by Mana.
! ger DeVarney of th- Home Tele-
phone company, furnished the
means by which the absentees
were enabled to hear the entire
church service. The instrument
is the latest invention in the teie
phone world, and the one in.
stalled in the United Presbyterian
church there is the first ever tried
on the Pacific Coast.

mohair if it can be avoided.
For that reason, he says. if pools
on lots of mohair are graded he
can make offers only for the bet
ter grades.
If this is the case with othe,
buyers, and we presume it is, 1t
will tend to prevent the grading
of ppols. We recogn re the fact
that'it is hard to change estab-
lished methods of doing bust ess,
but the practice OF selling hair in
pools at one price to all tends to
make the grades produced worse
Instead of better. IL the Will
lamelte Valley it has been the
practice to pay practically the
same price for all grades o. coarse
aud middle wools and the result
has been to encourage the pro-
!duc,ion of excessively coarse
woois. If the system of selling
mohair in pools ungraded con-
,tinues it will surely result in the
average quality OF the hair in
such pools getting coarser and
less valuable. This will come
about in two ways. The men
who are growing fne moh=air
will more and more keep out of
the pools and the men who stay
with the pools will breed for
Quantity instead of quality of
mohair and will naturally in
crease the proportion of coarse
hair they produce.

DRANK cAR5oLlc ACID.
Was Former Benton County Boy.
The Funeral Wednesday.

The funeral of Thomas Dan.
nails who committed suicide in
Albany Monday, occurred Wed
nesday in that city, aud was at
tended by relatives from this
citv. Deceased was we'll known
in Benton county, having in boy
hood made his home with the
Stewart family. He was an un-
Gle of Mrs. Jennie Grier of this
city and has numerous other re-
latives in Benton and Lincoln
counties. The story of his death
is related in full in the Herald, as
follows: -
After he had calmly poured
the contents of vial OF carbolic
acid into a cup of coffee, Thomas
Dannals of this city Monday
morning swallowed the mixture.
He died tour hours later. The
only words which Dannals utter
ed after taking the poison were
% his ten year old son Louis.
AS he staggered and fell to
couch in the family living room.
Danna1s cried ''eoodbye" and
almost Immediately lapsed into
unconsciousness, from which all
efforts on the part of the physi-
clan who had been summoned,
failed to revive him. Despond-
encv because of continued illness
is believed to have been the
mans motive for ending his own
life.
The awful deed was commit
ted just as the family were con-
Guiding breakfast. Mrs. Dan
nails had just risen from the table
and left the room. After her de-
parture, Mr.. Dannals, who had
eaten his meal without showing
any sign of his intention to kill
himself, poured out some coffee
into his cup. He then rose and
stepped to an adjoining room
He Gid not close the door, and
his son Louis observed him take
down a small vial of carbolic
acid, pour the contents into the
cup, and then drain the whole
mixture. So quickly, and with
such apparent calmness was the
deed done, that the youth did
not realize what his parent was
doing until he cried out, 'good-
bye," and sank onto the couch
nearby.
When the boy realized what
had occurred, he called to his
mother, and informed her what
his father had done. DR.. Stark
was at once called but efforts to
save the unfortunate mans life
were unavailing, and he died a
few hours later.
The desceased was about 90
years old and was employed as
nightwatchman in the chair fac
tory of R. Veal & Son. He had
just returned from his nights
vigil, and had eaten his break
fast as usual, before retiring.
Danpals is said to have been in
i'll health for long time, and
this is thought to have caused
him to decide on taking his own
life. He leaves a wife, one son
Louis, and a daughter, Sadie.
The daughter resides at Inde-
pendence with her uncle, Geor< e

H. Kearfott, who is an attache OF tie
Division of Exploitationof the Jane S

doing all he can to promote the plan.
This will of course be accepted by the

real Virginians. 1t is quite an honor
bestowed upon our people and one they

This is the verdict of the best author
tiles in this and hampshire counties.
The remarkably summertime wealth
er last week when for several days the
thermometer ran up into the nlntles
forced the fruit buds so that many trees
were in bloom and the rest were near
ly inloom. This was especially truelb
it'll peaches aud other arly fruits.On
Saturday the temperature began to fal
until Monday morning when there
was decided freeze. 1t was quite dry
and most of the growers had hopes
that there would be some peaches es-
cape but on Tuesday morning again
there was a much harder freeze, the
thermom eter falling TO IS and by Tues
dav evening it was settled that the
reaches were all killed as were the
plums and pears.
The apple crop not feing quite so
early, it is claimed escaped and has
been little injured if at all.
Mr.. Alex Clohan who is regarded a:
authority says that from the best infor'
nation he can gather the above is about
the state of the crop in this section
but says that it may be blessing in
disguise as nearly all the peach trees
In this section are affected with the
yellows and if there is no crop the
rroxpars will he the more iucliled TO
cut out their peach orchards to exter-
inmate the yellows.
1t is sad TO contem plate that we Will
not be permitted to enjoy the juicy
peach this year.
Mr.. Chas. HI. Miller one of our best
informed men on fruit says it is moi
half so bad, that it is too early to- tel
vet but that he telieves there will be
good many peaches and that the appl
are safe.
