Newell believe otherwise. Two dis

Passes Away.

London, Aug. 15.-Florence Night
ingale, the famous nurse of the Grim
can war and the only woman who
ever received the Order of Merit,
died yesterday afternoon at her Lon
don home.
Although she had been an invalid
for a long time, rarely leaving her
room, her death was somewhat I'M
expected. week ago she was quite
sick, but then improved and on Fri
day was cheerful. During that night
alarming symptoms developed and
she gradually sank until o'clock
Saturday afternoon, when an attack
of heart failure brought the end.
Lived Quiet Life.
Her funeral will be as quiet as
possible, in accordance with her
wishes. During recent years, owing
to her feebleness and advanced age,
Miss Nightingale had received few
visitors.
On May ~ last she celebrated her
Goth birthday. Florence Nightingale
was born May II. 1920. She was the
first woman to follow a modern army
into battle as a nurse, and in the
Crimean war gained the title of An
gel of the Crimea."

More Tax on Nurseries.

Mr. Huntley is especially in favor
Of higher tax on nursery stock.
He thinks the nurseries should pay
almost enough taxes to pay the ex-
pense of state inspection of their
stock. Nursery stock demands a
great deal of attention from the in
spectors and the inspection of it has
done wonders in keeping tree dis
eases and pests out of the state.
There is a law which provides
that nurseries can have their special
inspectors, appointed by the state
and paid by the nurseries, but the
Washington Nursery in Toppenish is
the only one which has taken advan-
tage of the privilege.

Time for Last Spraying.

From now up to the Aug. 20 is
the right time for the last spraying
for cooling moth. This is not con-
sidered the most important spray
ing, but there are a number in the
valley who should give it in order
to save the largest amount of apples.
This is the Matching time of the last
brood of worms and they are to be
found in all stages of growth.

Mr.. Huntley has already worked
some on a plan for a special tax and
better inspection of the trees.
Fred Thompson suggests tax of
so cents an acre on all orchards,
which tax would provide a fund
great enough so that large number
of inspectors could be sent out
through the orchards every year.
Get Help from Washington.
Mr.. Thompson has also suggested
that the valley could get the agri-
cultural department to send out two
men from Washington, D. c., to
take charge of any united action up
on which the local growers might
agree and to give expert help in a
campaign against blight or whatever
other trouble affects the trees.
The government lent such aid as
this to the San Joaquin valley in
California, with the result that the
blight was driven out of the valley
The blight has gained firmer hold
in the San Joaquin valley than it has
in the Yakima.

HaW! HaW!

N. D. Heath is greatly interested
in horticulture and has suggested
the idea of grating some milk
weeds onto peach trees, so that we
could have peaches and cream from
the same tree.
This caused l.. R. Francis to re-
mark that down in Wisconsin where
he came from, that the follows had
secured a cross between the honey
bee AMI the lightning bug, so that
the resultant insect could gather
honey both night and day.
Some Wenatchee boys were up the
river fishing few days ago. In
passing a house where there were
number of cows, one of the boys
said: Girls, have you any butter
milk" Yes was the reply, "but
we keep it for our own calves"
The story is told of a Wenatchee
preacher, was out to dinner a
short time ago and, of course, there
was the fried chicken on the table.
Now" said the preacher, 1--WE are
going to see this chicken enter the
ministry"
"Well, 1 hope it does better than
it did in lay work." said the hostess.
