"Date at Dayton"

A. A. Herring, chairman of the
committee appointed to make arrange
ments for a big delegation to go to
Dayton, reported that the services of
the Walla Walla Concert band had
been secured, and urged every bust
ness man to make preparations to go
on the trip and show the Columbia
county people that Walla Walla is
alive and on the map. He urged that
the day be made the biggest in the his
tory of Dayton, and judging by the
applause accorded the speaker, the
special o. r. & N train will be well
laden next Friday morning at $50
O'clock .
Publicity Manager L. f. Meacham
also spoke upon this subject and
pointed out the fact that the eXcur-
sion was not to be run for the men
alone, but also for the ladies. He gave
the real Importance of the necessity
for big delegation, telling the
business men present just what was
expected of Walla Walla, and why it
was expected.

Mr.. Dumas, VINO was one OF the sue
cessful exhibitors at the 1898 National
apple show, told of the wonderful ben
eft accruing to Orchardists as a re-
suit of the displays seen in the Falls
City, and said that it proved quite
plainly this year the necessity for
growing apples in carload lots. He
named the following varieties as the
most favorable for this section of the
state: Grimes Golden, Jonathan, Rome
Beauty, Yellow Newtons and Spitzen
bergs.
"The National Apple show and the
men who are promoting it, said Mr..
Dumas, "are doing more for the Inland
Empire than any other thing in the
country In the first attempt last year
more apples and more different varie-
ties were shown than ever before. 1t
also showed that quantity was not the
essential point in apple production, but
that quality is even more important.
There are this year Is prizes for
carload lots. the sweepstakes, for a
first prize of $1,000 emitting the win
ner to the name, apple King of Amer
lea The second prize for the sweep
stakes is $500 In this carload there
must be not less than so boxes Of any
one variety. There are eleven other
prizes, first and second, for all kinds
of exhibits, ranging from one-box dis
plays to 10-box entries"
The speaker showed the necessity
for exhibits from this section, saying
that orchardists on small tracts could
make carload exhibits as we'll as the
more extensive growers, provided the
planting were done in the proper
manner

grows in all directions through the
growing layer and inner bark until the
growth meets on the opposite side of
the trunk or limb, which in this way
is girdled.
The disease is very conspicuous and
easy of diagonsis. On limbs with
smooth bark the areas attacked by
the fungus show dead, discolored
sunken patches of bark, covered more
or less thickly with yellow, orange or
brown postules of the fruiting fungus

This trouble must not be confused
with that type of sun scald which is
due simply to extreme heat in sum-

most typically in the arid sections Of

Trees that are worth the care are
best protected by wrapping the parts

part liable to this injury with a board
or shingles is sufficient to prevent it.
Another winter injury often con-
fused with freezing is actual drying

The Care of the Refrigerator.

The housekeeper who Is otherwise
careful will often neglect or clean
carelessly the most important food re-
ceptacle in the home. All food should
be removed and the box and shelves
carefully washed and aired at least
twice a week. A dish of lime to abb
sorb the moisture and a dish OF char
coal to absorb odors, will be found
very desirable to have in the food
chamber of the refrigerator.
Milk and butter, both of which are
very easily spoiled by absorbing the
odors of foods, should be kept sep
arate from other foods. All strong
favored vegetables like cabbage,
should never be put into the refrig-
orator.
When washing the refrigerator, use
hot water in which a little soda has
been dissolved. In spite OF careful
washing of ice the drain pipes often
become clogged Flush them with the
hot soda water each time the chest Is
cleaned. Another important point that
seems almost unnecessary to mention.
yet there are some people who have

dangerous thing for the gases Will

the food. Keep all milk and butter

3 " feet wide and 81 feet long.
1t was obviously impossible to erect
any kind of an ordinary structure on
this remarkable lot, and there were
no adjoining property owners to whom
II could be sold. The landholder was
rescued from his dilemma by an archi-

of huge fence 55 feet high to extend
the whole length of the lot. This plan
has been adopted and the surface of
the fence will be rented for the dis

diminutive holding the owner of the

thing less than one-tenth of an acre,
which he can rent, and from which he
will receive an income of $3.50 a

Virginia, North Carolina and Ten
nessee have the undesirable distinc
ton of being the only states in the
union in which the slaughter of robins
is permitted by law, and recent in
vestigations show that not less than
100000 robins are killed by some
10000 pothunters in these three states
during the winter months. Patient
investigation by ornithologists has
proved that robin in a year earns
one dollar in the destruction of insects
injurious to crops. The pothunters
sell them for five cents a dozen. This
wanton waste of millions of dollars is
something which should appeal to the
hard common sense of every southern
farmer.

Ornamental trees are subject to me-
chanical injuries in a thousand ways.
Street and lawn trees that are stu
ated where horses can get at them are
practically certain to have their bark
gnawed off unless protected with some
sort of guard. This is perhaps the
commonest injury to trees. The injury
shown in figure l is an extreme case,
but can be duplicated on almost any
city street. The exposed wood in this
tree will soon rot, If not painted or
otherwise protected, and the death of
the tree is only a question of time
Mutilation iu curb laying is usually
necessary and unavoidable, but the
wound can and should be treated;
otherwise, reproducing fungi find
lodgment and in few years the base
of the tree will be rotted out, as
shown in figure So. Fire is another
frequent cause of injury at the base
of the trunk. and so also, in the case
of lawn trees, is collision with lawn
mowers.
