by w. w. Smith, who is called the
statistician of the town. Smith has
recently published book entitled
"The True Record Of Owensville" in
which is found births. deaths, mar
riages, accidents and the like for the
past year. Up to the time the book
was published the town people found
a great many things to gossip about,
but now instead of gossiping. they go
to the book and find out what they
want to know about anything that
has happened in the town for the
past year.
Mr. Smith has ascertained that five
per cent. of the population of Owens
vile are widows. Seventy-five good
looking and manageable widows live
In the town and most of them own
and manage their own homes and
many of them are in good circum-
stances.
There is a widows Row" in the
town that is pointed out to all visi-
tors who happen to go to Owensville.
Smiths book on town events and the
widows has enjoyed a wide circulation

FRUIT GROWERS
SPRAYING HINTS
SUGGESTIONS by horticultural De-
partrnent of Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station of Wis.
consin University.

To spray home orchards and get
the best results, the following sug-
gestions are offered by the horticul-
tural department of the agricul-
tural experiment station of the Uni
versity OF Wisconsin.
Fungus diseases and insects usually
work upon trees at the same time;
therefore use spray of bordeaux mix
ture to which some arsenical poison
has been added. Ten ounces of paris
green, or three pounds OF arsenate Of
lead, added to so gallons Of bordeaux
mixture will control the codling moth
or apple worm and apple scab.
Most fruit growers will find it more
advisable to purchase arsentcals in
the prepared form than to mix them
at home, which involves much labor
and care. Bordeaux mixture, which
is used for spraying to prevent fun
gus diseases, should be prepared at
home. To get the best results a
strong pressure pump with good noz-
zle that will throw a fine mist spray
should be used.
Growers should watch the develop
ment of the trees closely at blossom
ing time and make a thorough appli-
cation before the calyx Of the apple
closes. The leaves and stems of
branches not fruiting should be COW
cred with spray up to the top of the
tree. The spray should be thrown
from many directions SO as to cover
both sides of the leaves thoroughly.
AS a general rule the first spraying
should be made just before the buds
open, with 200 gallons Of bordeaux
mixture including poison for each 200
trees. The second application should
be made just after the blossoms fall.
with $50 gallons; the third applica-
ton ten days later; the fourth two
weeks after the third; and the fifth
three weeks after the fourth. The
last three sprayings should be made
with 400 gallons Of Bordeaux mixture
and poison.

The damage caused by pocket goph-
ers is diff cult to estimate in dollars,
since it is both actual and apparent.
However, all agree that the injury is
sufficient to make 1t quite necessary
to wage relentless war against the
pest. The various estimates of harm
done ranges on the average between
$40 and SIS per each 160-acre farm
and in some IL stances as high as one
dollar per acre where the injury is in
orchards, gardens and potato and al
falfa fields. 1t is therefore quite with
in bounds to place the annual damage

River Survey
Completed
Port Commission Busy, and will
Rush Work as Rapidly
as Possible.

Engineer Schiller, who has been
surveying and making soundings of
the Yaquina river and the harbor
at Toledo for the Port of Toledo, has
completed his labors. He has made
very comprehensive map, showing
the depth of the river down as far
as Oysterville.
The survey as just completed
shows much easier project to
undertake than was expected by
our people. The greater part of
the work is from Toledo to the
Boone place and to secure depth
of sixteen feet at mean high water
contemplates the removal of ap-
proXimately $1,000 cubic yards cf
earth. This will be removed by a
system of jetties and by dredging.
Capt. J. S. Polhemus of the U.
;. Corps OF Army Engineers, was
IN Toledo yesterday and met with
the port commission and examined
their maps and other data. He
expressed his opinion that the pro-
ject is not only feasible, but is a
much better and easier improve
ment made than he had thought it
TO be. lie gave the commission
much good advice as to the best
methods for preparing the plans
and doing the work.
Triplicate copies of the proposed
improvement have been forwarded
t. the War Department through
Major Morrow, the engineer in
charge, at Portland, asking for
authority to execute the p:oject,
and as soon as this permission is
given, which is merely loutine
matter and Will only take coupl,
OF weeks time, it is the intention
Of the port commission to advertise
for bids to do the work at once and
to let the contract at an early date.
Should the bids submitted not be
satisfactory the commission will
build a drcdgc of its own to do the
work. 1t is their intention to push
the work forward as rapidly as pos
sible to secure a sixteen foot chan
mel TO the mouth of the river, as
The present rapidly growing COM
merce urgently demands such
channel.
