During his residence in Weldon Mr..
Ayres has been closely identified with
the financial interests of the community
and been a thorough going business
man in every respect holding the IN
limited confidence Of all who knew him.
1t is with deep regret that the com
munity lose Mr.. and Mrs. Ayres and
the best wishes of their many friends
in this part Of the country will go with
them to their new home.
The directors Of the bank have not yet
decided as to who will take Mr.. Ayres'
place in the bank. In the mean time

from kidney trouble. His back caused
him no end of pain, and he felt
sore through the kidney regions.
If he caught cold, the trouble
was increased in severity and at
such times it was hard for him to stoop

the trefoils into branches and the
branches into a tapering trunk, the

tionally defraud any one. Mistakes
will sometimes happen in spite of ev-
cry care, but the man that allows too
much of this will kill his business.
The following statement has been
sent out by the State College, Pull
man, Wash, and | recommend its
careful consideration by every reader
of the Ranch:
The codling moth ruins a couple OF
millions of dollars worth of Washing
ton apples every year. How much of
this wormy fruit does your orchard pro-
duce? Have you reputation for hon.
est. clean, worm-free fruit? If you
have, isn't it worth money to you?
Isn't it your reputation that fixes to
large extent the selling price of all
the apples of your locality? If you
have wormy apples, and wormy rep
utation, read this: No orchard is SO
badly off but that it can be reclaimed
by a single seasons spraying.
If you want to find out:
1. Why you should use arsenate OF
lead and nothing else.
2. Why you should not use misty
vermorel nozzles.
3. What pressure to use.
4. How much spray to put on a tree.
5. When it pays to get power
sprayer.
6. When you can spray in a rain.
7. How long time spraying is
effective.
8. Whether your spraying is SO poor
ly done that you should do it over
again at once.
8. How to fit up an extension rod
that is better than the one you are
using.
10. What sprays should not be COM
bined with codling moth spray.
II. How to tell when late spray
ings are not necessary.
II. An easy way to time sprayings.
Is. Whether to band the trees.
IA. About codling moth traps.
Is. What danger you have from your
neighbours moths.
16. The value of the dust spray or
the gas sprayer.
If you want to find out about any
of these points, or a hundred other
suggestions on codling moth spray
ing-in short, If you want to raise 100
per cent of clean fruit with a single
spraying, write to the director of the
Washington Experiment Station, Pull
man, for copy of Popular Bulletin 5,
entitled Spraying for Cooling Moths, I"
by A. l.. Melander. 1t is free.
George Heatherbell, of Colwood, B
c., makes the following request and
gives the reason why he wants this
information: II would like if you
would be kind enough to give me some
of your best reasons for advising the
vase form of apple trees. Also give
any other good authority for same,
you may know, that believes the same
as you do. Does Van Deman or Pro-
fessor Piper or Lake believe in the
vase form?
why l am troubling you on this
question is that our Superintendent
of Institutes, J. l.. Anderson (whOm
you perhaps will know and others
here think the vase or goblet form Is
no good. have had a quarter of a
century of experience with fruit trees.
and firmly believe with you that the
pyramid form is not the best, and
when talking on fruit tree planting at
our institute meetings always advise
the vase form of heading the tree.
They say am wrong, and say that
the pyramid form is the best with
the first limbs starting out nine inches
from the ground. l always anxiously
look over your column for informa-
tion."
