CLAIMS Not Fish

The supreme court has reversed the
superior court of Clallam county in
the case of the Clallam County Can
ming Co ys. a. j. Bugge and others
to restrain them from entering upon
tide lands leased by the canning
company and digging CLAIMS therefrom.
In the superior court. the case was
dismissed on demurrer, the court hold
ing that the facts stated in the COM
plaint did not constitute q cause for
action. The supreme court. however.
orders that the case be reversed and
this demurrer overruled. The princi-
pal point decided is that CLAIMS belong
with the land and are not fish. as
would be termed under the common
law rights given the public to fish in
the waters Of the state.
The last Legislature passed an act
which gave title to the owners of tide
lands to the clans in such lands.
The governor vetoed the bill on the
principal ground that CLAIMS are fish !;
fish are ferae naturae therefore. wild
animals" and belong to the public.
He traced clam digging back to the
time Of King John. and discovered
that the public acquired q sort OF pre-
ference right to the exciting sport Of
clam digging in the Magma Uharta
and in the custom Of the old settlers
and aborigines getting their breakfast
when the tide was out.
The seven judges Of the supreme
court take different view. however.
and even with this special act vetoed
and not Law, And sufficient ground
in the statutes TOR declaring that CLANS
belong to the land.

Court Decides Against
Increase of Salaries

In view of the action of the county
commissioners of this county in rails
ing the classification of the county
and increasing the salaries of officers
from the first of last Septembe in the
midst of the term for which they were
elected, the following special dispatch
to the Post Inteliigencer. from Wenat-
chee. under date of March %. is of
interest:
In the suit Of the ex Officials Of
Douglas county against the county
commissioners to recover back salar-
les held to be due them after the time
of the raise in the rating of the coun-
ty from the sixteenth to the twelfth
class, Judge Steiner, now holding a
term of the superior court here. has
decided that the officials were not en-
titled to the increase. This suit has
been pending for some time and has
been watched with interest by officials
and ex officials in other counties of
the state where the ratings of the
counties have been raised during
their terms of Office. Judge Steiner
rules that the population of counties
at the time of the election of officials
is the controlling factor. and that
! whether or not the population in
creases or decreases during the tenure
of Office is risk which is assumed
by the official. and that any such in
crease or decrease can affect the pay
only after the next election. The
ex officials are not satisfied with this
decision. believing that any existing
doubt should be fully cleared up, and
will appeal to the supreme court. !"

The islander is indebted to Mr.. F.
A. Huntley, state commissioner of
horticulture. for copy of the follow
ing extracts from q letter written By.
him to his deputy in this county. Mr..
Henry T. Cayou, of Deer Harbor.
The letter was written shortly after
Mr.. Runtley's return to Tacoma from
his recent visit to this county. It
would have been published last week
but for the fact that 1T reached the
Office a few hours too late. Mr..
Huntley says:
81 am sending you under separate
cover some blanks for your purpose
in serving notices on those who are
slow to spray. If you will please
keep record of the notices you serve,
and the names of any who may fail to
comply. it will be convenient to have
such record in case it is necessary to
bring little more force to bear upon
the negligent ones.
81 have not much to suggest at
this time in regard to the apple fruit
miner which was so prevalent in your
locality last year and did great dam
age. | hope your growers will take 1T
upon themselves to observe this insect
very carefully this season and record
it's life history. This will enable US
to devise means for its eradication.
I propose to give this question my
close and personal attention. and will
appreciate your CO operation in find
ing out all you can. From my present
understanding l would recommend
that the trees be sprayed with Arsen-
ate of Lead about the time the apples
are two thirds grown in size. It the
insect is injurious to early apples as
we'll as the late varieties. it is evident
that there are at least two broods. and
at least two sprayings would be re-
quired in such case. l am inclined
to think that the practice of early
and thorough spraying with the sui
phur lime remedy will have tenden-
cy to reduce their number consider
ably. will recommend that the
Arsenate of Lead spray be prepared
the same for the apple miner that is
required for codling moth. This is
about two pounds of the Arsenate of
Lead paste thoroughly mixed with
f1fty gallons of water and sprayed with
considerable force.
"The value of the sulphur lime rem
edy is more extensive in it's usefulness
than many people are aware. It is
destructive to the oystershell bark
louise and other scale insects. eggs
of the red spider. all kinds of aphides.
bud moth. peach twig borer. and many
other insects which can be reached in
their dormant stages by spraying
early in the spring. Sulphur lime
is the best spray to remove moss and
nildew and render the bark clean
and the leaves healthy. It was dis
covered last season that it is likely to
prove the most effective remedy ever
discovered for apple scab. We find
now many recommending it as a sum.
mer spray in preference to the Bor-
deaux mixture. as it is said there il
no danger of causing the russet condi-
tion upon apples by the sulphur lime
spray as Is believed to be caused
The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1908-04-04
when Bordeaux is used.

Wu0u D0TO06U4 IL U30Os
81 have before me q report by
Prof. A. B. Oordley. of the Oregon
Experiment Station, recommending
the sulphur lime spray for apple scab.
He recommends the use of the stand
ard sulphur lime diluted by adding
one-half as much more water, thus
rendering it about one third weaker
than the normal strength. With q
little more lime added. not more
than ten per cent more than is used in
the ordinary formula. this mixture
will not injure the foliage. For
apple scab he advises three sprayings
with this solution, dates approximate
ly April Goth. May 9Th. and May 17th.
The results obtained by him in the ex-
periments of one season were very
much better with sulphur lime than
where the Bordeaux was used.
"a late spraying with the reduced
solution of sulphur lime is also ben
eficial in destroying any insects which
may have escaped contact with the
first spray given early in the spring.
It has been demonstrated that thor
ough treatment and general eradica-
tion of the pests by intensive methods
has almost permanent effect, to the
extent that fewer sprayinRs in subse-
ouent seasons will keep these pests in
subsection. Following I append the
standard sulphur lime formula:
Sulphur. one pound,
Fresh lime, one pound.
Water to make four gallons.
'"The above is for the spring spray.
For later in the season use the same
amount of sulphur. a trifle more lime.
and add six gallons of water in place
of four. This can be made in any
quantity in the proportions given.
First slake the lime. using only enough
water to keep 1t moist so it will all
dissolve and not burn in shaking. Re-
duce to a thick paste. then add enough
water to make q thin liquid. Put
in the sulphur, stir 1t thoroughly
before cooking and occasionally while
cooking. II the cooking vat is large
enough all the water can be added
at first, but II not it can be put in
later. To boil constantly for one
hour is enough. as it is claimed it can
be cooked too long. Keep the vat
covered while cooking and the con-
densing steam will carry back into the
liquid the sulphur which is inclined
to adhere to the sides of the vat.
This will insure a preparation Of uni
form strength. When the sulphur il
all dissolved the liquid will be of ar
amber color. It should be poured
into the spraying tank through 9
strainer to remove the residue that
would clog the nozzle.
'sIt is common mistake to use toe
much lime in the preparation of the
sulphur lime solution. Too much
lime destroys the caustic properties ol
the sulphur and renders the spray lest
effective. It is best to use this prep
aration while fresh. or nearly SO, and
according to the above formula.
81 hope you will let me hear from
you at any time ! can be Of service
to your fruitgrowing interests.
Very respectfully.
