Rush the Spraying.

This is the time of the year when
there is much spraying in the orch
ards and especially the apple orchards.
Nothing is clearer to the mind of one
who has given the subject proper at
tention than that spraying to be of
benefit to the grower must be done
intelligently. 1t is wonderful how
many people there are who have in
some way been aroused to the import
ance of spraying who have very crude
ideas about the matter. People fire.
quently come to me and ask, "ls it
not time to spray?" I ask such people
what they want to spray for and the
answer comes back that they do not

know only that they ought to spray
1t must be of necessity very hit or
miss business to spray simply because
someone says we ought to unless we
know the end aimed at. When we
spray we generally aim to destroy in
sects, fungi or bacteria. Sometimes
the spray may be either an insecticide
or a fungicide but as rule such is
not the case. Some of the bacterial
disease, like pear blight for instance
cannot be cured by spraying at all.
All these things must be understood
and we must use the material in
spraying according to what we aim to
combat and without this discrimlna-
ton we may waste our material and
labor in doing the work.
Then we have properly settled in
the material to be used and know
what we aim to accomplish we may
spray at the wrong time and utterly
fail to do any good.
While [ was on my main fruit ranch
in the Yakima valley few days ago,
a woman who was ten miles away tele-
phoned to me to know how to prepare
the lime sulphur wash. She said that
she had been told that she must spray
their young trees which had been
planted two years before, for the San
Jose scale. | had my doubts about
the scale being in that neighborhood
for I had fifteen acre orchard near
there and we had kept sharp look
out for this peruiciOus insect, so L
asked if there was scale on their
trees. Her reply was that she did not
know. [ told her that the first thing
she should do was to get some one
who knows the scale to determine
whether there was any in their or
chard. This was done and no scale
found. SO 1T can be seen that both
labor and material would have been
lost in spraying that orchard for the
destruction of the scale. Some one
may want to ask the question, would
not spraying with the lime-sulphur
wash act as a preventive against the
attacks of the scale? No. To very
limited extent some forms of spr ay-
ing may be preventive, but we can say
that with very limited exceptions in
spraying tor insects or diseases pre-
vention is out of the question. What
the wide awake fruit grower needs to
do is to watch for the first appearance

ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Grand.

''The Soul Kiss'' will be the attrac-
ton at the Grand tonight. 1t is one
of those lively. amusing affairs which
gives one little time for serious
thought, but at all times is entertain
ing. A striking feature of the piece
is the corps de ballet" of ten, who
have been Imported from the Empire
theater, LONDON. Throughout the
piece they execute daintily arranged
dance numbers. The production is
produced under the direction of Julian
Mitchell, and is lavish in scenery, cos
tunes and electrical effects.
At the Grand Friday Robert Ede-
son will present new play of Ameri-
can life of the present time, entitled
ga Mans Man. by Anna Steese
Richardson and Leslie Henry Friden-
berg. Mr.. Edeson, more than any
other actor, typifies the American
vigor. manliness and determination.
, Lovers of sttcng plays and realistic
acting will be Interested in the an
nouncement that "a Mans Man.
will serve to introduce Mr.. Edeson in
an entirely new light. but one which
affords him the finest opportunity for
effective work he has yet enjoyed. The
scenes of ga Mans Man" are laid in
New York city and in Helena, Mont,
the events which the play depicts
transpiring within a period of three
months. Mr. Edeson appears as
New Yorker of good birth and fine So
cial position. who, through becoming
legal adviser to a western mining mag
nate, is made the central figure of an
intensely dramatic conflict that will
make or mar the lives of four persons.

week from his diligent search in big
league circles for additional seasoned
talent to Sign an outflelder named H.
P. Southwick. Southwick was sign ed
on the recommendation of Pitcher
George Farthing, who ran across him
at Landers, Wyo., last fall while he
was participating in a baseball tourna-
ment just following the close of the
western league season. Southwick has
had two years experience in semi-pro-
fessional circles and is said TO show
promise of making bigger company.
He will get a trial, along with Washer,
the Fit. Collins, Colo, outfielder, who
has also been making some smoke in
Colorado emi-professionaI circles.
The gap at second base has not been
closed yet, bit both President Despair
and Manager Jimmy Sullivan are
working hard to land a man for that
sack who will rank up with the other
infelders on the lineup. Several men
are in view.
Some of the Western league clubs
are depending too much on the major
league discard to recruit their teams.
1t is possible that some good ones will
be turned loose by May 1, but the
clubs that are fully equipped from the
jump will be getting a start valuable to
them later in the season, If the race is
at all tight. Lincoln's poor start at
the beginning of last year put the club
entirely out of the running for first
division berth.
Umpires are generally conceded to
have hard lots, but Hank O'Day seems
to have had harder set of decisions to
make than any other arbitrator now
lodging bricks in the big leagues.
In the first worlds series between the
Cubs and Tigers, Hank was forced 70
call out Steinfeldt for interference at a
time when, had he failed to do so, the
Cubs would have annexed the game of
that series, instead of being forced to
go to draw at the end of II innings
The play came up in the tenth spas1n,
at time when the Cubs had Jimmy
Slagle on third with two out and the
score tie. Schmidt let one of Dono-
vans fast ones get by him and Slagle
came racing for the plate as fast as ne
could go.
Wild BilP' came in to cover the
plate. The Tiger backstop hustled after
the ball and. getting it about Is feet
from the plate. pegged it to Donovan.
1t looked as though Slagle would beat
the throw easily, but Steinfeldt forgot
himself for the moment and failed 20
get out of the way of the ball, which
struck on the shoulder and prevented
Donovan from being able to try to get
Jimmy as he came in.
Hank promptly called "Steiny'' out
| for interference, amid a storm of pro-
| tests from the Cubs. O'Day was UNI
| piring the game in New York when
Merkle failed to touch second base and
was forced to make that decision.
| The arbitrator was also working il
| the Cub-Pirate series, just a short time
| previous to this, when a howl was
raised by the Chicago team, when War
rem Gill failed to run out hit from
