use ELECTRICITY
FOR COOLING MOTH

SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. "a
Electricity as an agency to destroy
the codling moth and other bug pests
is the latest innovation introduced in
modern apple orcharding in the Spo-
kane valley, where W. NJ Frost of
Opportunity, Wash, and &c. Law
renee, practical grower of Spokane,
last night made what is declared to
have been the first dem onstration of
it's kind In the world. The test was
made in a six-year-old orchard and
more than score of second brood
moths and many green aphis were
killed in a few moments.
The apparatus consists of a stor-
age battery to charge the incandes-
cent light globes. each oe six-candle
power, which are netted with fine
steel wire, coated with copper and
tin, alternately. Attracted by the
bright lights in the trees, to which
the globes are carried at the ends
of a covered wire, the moths fly
against the netting, complete the
electric circuit and are instantly
killed, the bodies falling into a re-
ceptacle placed beneath ahe globe.
One Pattern to the Acre
Frost estimates that one battery to
an acre of trees will keep the m oths
under control, thus eliminating the
usual spraying and saving many dol
lars annually for help. equipment and
fluid. He is now preparing to wire
his orchard of 10 acres, containing
700 trees and several neighbors, who
witnessed the initial test, are doing
likewise 1t is reported that several
thousand acres of bearing apple
trees will be equipped with eXtermi-
majors by next spring.
If commercial electric light wires
are extended to the orchard tracts,
as they are in many OF the valleys in
Washington, Idaho, Oregon and Mon
tana the expense of batteries may be
saved by making direct connection.
The cost of covering the globes with
wire nets is a small item and any
electrician can do the work.

cation. The matter is one or great
interest to the landholders under the
Sunnyside canal and the letter from
washington, from the office of the as
sistant commissioner, to the United
states land office here is very clear
and distinct. 1t is as follows:
Letter of Commissioner
Register and Receiver, North Yakima,
Washington.
Sir:-1 his office is in receipt of vour
letter of July rs, 1911, stating that
it is understood that the Sunnvside
water Users association has refused
to execute the certificate Of stock
ownership under circular No. 25, an
proved June 16, 1911. You state that
they have informed members of their
association that they will not assist
In putting such forms into use and
will not now or in the future execute
through the secretary the certificate
Of stock ownership thereof"
This office has received no COM
plant from the Sunnyside Water Us
ers' association as to the new form of
water right contract and it was an
proved by the secretary of the inter-
Tor only after extended consideration
of its terms by the department as
well as by the reclamation service and
this office.
New Instructions
NO new water right applications on
the old form will be accepted by you
and pending further instructions YOU
must refuse to accept water right APP
plications on the new form which do
not bear the certificate of the secre-
tary of the Water Users association
as required by the public notice and
the existing regulations, but it may
be stated that the new form Of con-
tract appears to offer ample protec-
ton to the United States by the di-
rect lien on the land entirely aside
from its contract with the Water
Users association, and individuals de-
string to enter into contracts for the
purchase of water under the sunny
side reclamation project who are ready
to make payment of the charges fixed
by the public notice should not be
denied that privilege by reason of the
refusal OF the Water Users associa =
ton TO execute the certificate. and
therefore If water right applications
are filed In your office without the
execution of such certificate YOU will
suspend the same and report the facts
in detail to this office in order that
cons Iteration may be given to the
advisa bilitY OF recommending to sec
rotary of the interior that the execu-
ton of such certificate be waived for
the Suunysde project.
copy OF this letter is enclosed for
transmission to the secretary OF the
Sunnyslde Water Users association.
Very respectfully.
