renown and who was known to be a

OKANOGAN FEARS
SAN JOSE SCALE
INDIAN COMMISSIONERS URGED
TO PROTECT ORCHARDS IN
INDIAN ALLOTMENT LANDS IN
OKANOGAN.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The
dreaded danger of the San Jose scale
in the orchards of Okanogan county
has been brought to the attention
of the commissioner of Indian af-
fairs by Representative Jones, with
an urgent request for prompt atten-
ton.
The scale is at present confined
largely to Indian allotments at the
confluence of the Methow and Col
umbia rivers, where some of the
trees are badly affected.
The county inspectors on the side
of the Methow river opposite the in
fected Indian allotments are COM
polling fruit growers to make a thor
ough cleaning up of the scale, but
if something is not. done to eradi-
cate the scale on the allOtments
across the river their efforts will be
in vain, for just across this river
not more than 200 feet distant, there
is heavy growth OF infected brush
in which birds live and nest. They
pass over to feed in the fruit trees
carrying the scale on their feet, and
in this way communicate the con.
tagion.

In some parts Of Brittany there are

surround the pastures. The opening
