TINE TO SPRAY FOR
THE GOBLIN MOTH

The campaign for the destruction oil
the Goblin moth is now on In Rogue
River valley aud how to successfully
contend against this the hardest to
eradicate of all the pests is the problem
that is up to the orcharidsts. how to
spray and what solution to use is well
known to all progressive fruit.growers,
for experience has taught them that by
using an arsenate of lead solution ap-
plied to the trees under heavy pres

through the foliage ana to cover thor
oughly every part Of the fruit will 80
protect the apples or pears that it is
possible to have 9S to 80 per cent
fruit free of worms.
| But when Is the time to spray to do
the most effective destruction OF the
Goblin moth has not been definitely set
tied by sven the leading horticultur-
lists and by the entomoloigsts of the
agricultural colleges. This indefinite
ness az to the date to spray is caused
by the fact that the Goblin moth has no
regular period of the season for hatch
ing. Climatic aud other. causes not
fully known to entomologists cause a
variation of two to three weeks each
spring and summer in the date of the
appearance of the two broods Of moths.
Last spring, according to observations
made by u. W. Taylor. fruit inspector
for jackson county, aud by L. d. Har-
ris, manager OF the Bear Creek Orch
ard, the first brood Of moths made
their appearance in the vicinity of
Medford about May 20. This spring
these experts announce that the moths
began to appear last week, the first
moth to appear from the cocoon was
on May 8, as noted by Mr.. Harris in
breeding cages he had under observa.
tion. The first moth noted by Mr..
Harris last spring WAS on May 90, and
it WAS on this date that Mr.. Taylor
found the first moth in his cages. AS
the climate Of this part Of the valley
/ is about the same as at Medford the
moths will appear here nearly on the
same date as there. Therefore orch
srdists should spray at once, and
again the last Of next week.
1t Was expected that observations
would be made in this county upon
batohiDg periods Of the Goblin moth
hut II. q. Bateham, who had consent
ed to undertake the task on the re-
quest OF the Fruit Growers Associa-
tion. found himself so crowded with
the work Of fitting up his new home
in Fruitdale district that he could not
possibly get the time to prepare the
cages, cover a tree and secure the CO.
coons. He will, though, observe the
/ Matching OF second brood and give the
fruit growers ample notice as to the
time to spray. Mr.. Bateham but re-
Gently moved to this county from
Hood River, where he was one of the
leading orohardist, an d nurserymen Of
that famous fruit district and he was
also deputy fruit inspector for that
county. He is thoroughly posted on all
features of the fruit pest problem and
as he is public spirited man and very
willing to give the fruit growers the
full benefit of knowledge his locating
here will be greatly to the benefit of
the fruit industry of Josephine county.

Dear White Ribbon sisters, let Us
not neglect the "Call to Prayer. I"
Let us count God in. aud pray with.
out oeassipg that this enemy Of all
that is pare. may be driven out and
our country be free from the blight
ing curse of the liquor traffic.
"Only band Of children whom the
prohibition crsDks have on parade"
was a remark made last Sunday when
the Sunday school children of our
city, under the auspices of the
Womans Christian Temperance Union,
marching through the streets to the
Christian church, helped to make the
Temperance rally one long to be re-
membered. helped to make King AL
cobol tremble with the thought
these children will grow up" and
with their pure, young voices, helped
to swell the chorus "Oregon is going
dry"
Said travelling man: 1.-THE town,
which few years ago, avoided for
lack Of trade, now do the most bust
ness in because they have voted out
the saloons.
"My son and my husband do not
drink therefore l do not see az there
Is any thing for me to do" So said
mother in our hearing. How many
mothers have felt their own to be
safe from the cure only to realize
some dark day that the sword had
fallen on their own. God pity the
woman who can find nothing TO do
to help to save the sons and hus-
bands who are daily going DOWN
victims to the greed of the liquor
traffic.
Our saloon brothers tell us over and
over again that more liquor is con-
sumed under prohibition than under
license laws. My dear brothers, are
you not in the business that your
wares may be used2 Then why do you
fight the prohibition fanatics il their
methods Of dealing with your trade
increase your sales? II you are con-
silent, and believe your own argu-
ments. you will vote for prohibition
for the sake of your buinesss.

'CHICK" HARTLEY
GOES ALTOONA

BY a deal arranged last week, Al
toona's Tristate team comes into one
of the hardest hitters in the league.
By giving up Pitcher Glendon and
Outhelder Hemphill Altoona gets out
fielder "Chick' Hartley.
Hartley has been one of the leagues
star sluggers ever since he first broke
in. His fame was established as a
member of the Harrisburg club in the
days when the lamented Jess Frysinger
ran it. Later he went TO Holyoke, and
returned to join Lancaster.
without exception, Hartley has al
wyas been way up among the sluggers
and his habit of making long drives
has caused him TO be one of the most
dreaded batsmen in the circuit
At first glance it looks as though
Manager Farrell had turned a trick on
Manager Foster. though Glendon and
Hemphill should prove a very useful
pair Glendon is not only an effective
twirler, but is one or the best fielders
in the position the league has. He is
also a good all-round man, who can do
himself credit almost anywhere. At
Johnstown he played a god third base
in the season OF 1905, during the time
injuries kept Lobert out of the game.
Wyatt Lee has also accepted terms
with Altoona, and will be there again
next season.

UNION LEAGUE
TEAM FOR CITY

It has been practically decided that
the Union League Baseball Club will
be represented in this city the coming
season and it is probable that within
a week negotiations will be closed for
grounds.
Although nothing definite has been
decided upon 1t is probable that the
Riverview ground will be selected as
the most available. No matter where
the management of the new club de-
cides to locate in the city the grounds
will be placed in first class condition
and bleachers and a grand stand will
be erected. There is a possibility Of
a grass diamond being used although
this depends much upon the location
of the new field.
The Union League season will open
April 20, about week later than the
rri-State season but whether the home
club will play the opening game on it's
own grounds will not be decided upon
until after the meeting of the various
managers, to be held next month. The
season will last five months and the
games will be so arranged as to give
each city represented in the league an
equal number of games at home as is
possible. With Wilmington in the

under consideration are Washington

LENOX DEFEATED
BY BRIDGETON

No longer is the Lenox roller polo team
OF this city unbeaten, for Bridgeton de-
feated Lenox by score of to at
Bridgeton on Saturday night. It was a
gala night for Bridgeton, and the little
rink there was packed with humanity.
Even if the lights did go out for an hour
between the halves. the crowd didn't
mind, and remained until an electrician
had repaired the circuit.
Lenox recently demonstrated its SUPER
iority over Bridgeton at Eleventh Street
Rink, where there is an opportunity for
team work. The Bridgeton rink floor is 50
small that slkilful passing is out of the
question, and in this the Lenox players
were handicapped. The tick Of adequate
lighting in the Bridgeton rink also makes
it difficult for the players to see the ball
On the other hand the Bridgeton five has
the game down to a scientific nicely on
their own floor. The men play the game
llzs billiards. Instead Of passing the bail
directly one to another they make carom
shots against the sides Of the rink and the
ball shoots off at an angle to another
player who deftly shoots it into the cage
It is doubtful If any team in the East can
wallop Bridgeton on its own floor under
the conditions that exist there.
The Lenox players were royalty snter-
tanned in Bridgeton. After the game they
attended a dance, and later were guests
at a luncheon given in their honor. Bridge
ton plays a return game soon. The line
