Two County Commis.
sioners toElect this
Fall For Delta
County.

The INDEPENDENT understands that
Mr.. Joseph Hogrefe of Cedaredge will
be candidate for re- reelection for county
commissioner from his district. Mr..
Hogrefe has made, with the other
members serving, good county COM
missioner, watchful of the county g
interests. OF his honesty, integrity,
business qualifications and loyalty to
the county there can be no question.
Mr.. r. o. Wilmot, another of the
commissioners whose term of office
expires with the present year, does not
desire to be candidate for reelection
this fall. After the business of his
term is concluded Mr.. Wilmot expects
to take trip to the Pacific coast and
spend some months in a general trip
over the extreme West and Northwest.
Mr.. Wilmot has also made rigid, care
full, business commissioner and it is not
likely that better man will be found
to take his place.
Commissioner George C. Wilson re-
mains in Office and will continue with
his past careful effort to help give
Delta county a continuous satisfactory
administration.

Save The Cherry Trees.

Many of the cherry trees are being
badly infested with the cherry slug.
This is a very easy insect to control
and it is hoped that no one will allow
his cherry trees to be defoliated at this
time of the year, which is always a
serious calamity to the trees if it does
not kill them outright.
There will be another brood of this
slug appearing about month later and
anything that can be done to destroy
the first brood will tend to lessen the
second.
The best remedies to use, if there are
many trees to be treated, are arsenate
of lead, Paris green, or white hellebore
sprayed upon the leaves. If arsenate
of lead is used, prepare by mixing one
pound of the poison in one hundred
gallons of water. These poisons are
preferred providing there is no fruit
upon the trees. If the cherries are
still on the trees it is better to use
white hellebore. Mix one ounce with
each three gallons of water. This
poison is best applied towards evening.
1t is vegetable poison and loses its
strength in few days upon the trees,
but when thoroughly applied is very
efficient in destroying the slugs.
If only few trees are infested, they
may be thoroughly busted with slaked
lime or fine road dust, either of which
will remove the slugs and save the
trees.

Decentralization of Apples.

Senator H. M. Dunlap of ILL.,, at last
meeting of N. Y. Fruit-growers' Asso-
citation, said that his attention was
first called to the effects of cross-poll-
ination in large apple orchard, the
center of which was set to solid
block of Ben Davis; on one side was a
block of Akin and on opposite side a
block of Akin part way and another
variety the balance. Where the solid
blocks of Akin and Ben Davis met the
first rows were heavily loaded; the
second rows in both varieties had a
fair crop; the third rows light crop;
the fourth rows hardly any and the
rows beyond none at all. On the oppo-
site side the same conditions prevailed,
with the exception that where the
three varieties met the crop was the
heaviest in the orchard. The triple
cross -pollination seemed to benefit
every variety. He also believes apples
formed by cross -pollination have more
vigor and will Withstand more adverse
conditions and will hold to the tree
better throughout the season. After
noticing these conditions he studied the
subject wherever he went and found
the same things true in all orchards.
The only apples in the Middle West
last year were in the mixed paintings.

The Beet Web Worm.

The beet web worm moths are again
flying in the fields. This means that
the eggs are being deposited upon
beets, alfalfa, lamb's-quarter, sweet
clover, and other plants that this insect
feeds upon. Whether or not the worms
will appear in sufficient numbers little
later to do serious harm it is impossible
to say. But it would be well for the
growers everywhere to keep very
close watch of their beet fields for the
purpose of detecting the first appear
ance of the small worms, 30 that they
may be prepared to supply arsenate Of
lead or Paris Green to the beets in
time to prevent their being seriously
cut down by the worms if they should
appear.
