BULLETINS ON TREES

The State Agricultural Expert
ment Station has recently issued
Bulletin No. 90, entitled Forest,
Shade, and Ornamental Trees in
Washington" This bulletin is a
report of experiments which have
been in progress for fifteen years,
on the grounds of the State College
at Pullman, to determine what va
rieties of trees, shrubs, etc., can be
successfully grown on the treeless
areas of Eastern Washington. The
results reported in the bulletin show
that much larger number OF vari-
ties of trees will make very satisfac-
tory growth in these regions, it
properly cared for, than was former
| ly thought possible. The methods
of propagation, planting and cult
walton which have been found to
give the best results are described
in detail in the bulletin. A COM
plete description of each variety OF
tree, or shrub, which has been
tested, with comments on its hardi-
ness, drought-resistance, and rapid
ity of growth is also given. A briei
summary of the most important
recommendations concerning grow
ing trees in this state, with recon-
mended lists of varities for planting
| in different parts of the state is
presented in Popular Bulletin No.

BROWN TAIL MOTH SCARES
Six Acres in Rainier Valley. Near
Seattle. Are Affected Say
Officials

A scare has been thrown into the
orchardists of the western part OF
the state by the report that has
been sent out from Seattle to the
effect that the dreaded brown tailed
moth is preparing to devastate the
crops Of Washington.
Following is the statement sent
out from Seattle by F. A. Huntley
state commissioner of horticulture :
Six acres in the Rainier valley were
discovered by the state commission
er, accompanied by District Horti-
cultural Inspector w. C. Pendleton
and Inspector F. M. Rhodes, to be
covered with cocoons which Mr..
Huntley declares can be no other
than the brown tail moth.
This moth is a pest that has been
exceedingly harmful in the New
England states, having been brought
to Massachusetts, from France and
Holland. It has never been seen
west of the New England states.
So serious is this pest that damage
to the extent Of 100000 has on
occasion been affected.
The United States department Of
agriculture has been expanding very
large sums to eradicate the pest in
the last few years, and has succeeded
in keeping it very well in check. 1t
is hoped to ultimately stamp it out
altogether. Massachusetts has ap-
propriated 100000 and has made
an annual expenditure of over 500,
600 since 1905.
A report was brought to the local
office that apple orchards were being
defoliated by tent caterpillar and
some other insect working along
with it. F. M. Rhodes, of the de-
partment, Immediately investigated
it. The matter was reported to
State Commissioner, F. A. Huntley,
who came to Seattle at once and
after thorough investigation de-
cided that it was the browntail
moth.
Six acres were affected, not alone
in the trees but in native vegetation
grasses and ferns.
1--WE have guaranteed radius
of twenty acres" said Mr.. Huntley
recently, and this department
will do everything in its power to
stamp out this pest. We shall eradi-
cate it by fire, using denatured al
cohol. We have engaged abundance
of help and are working at it every
minute. This pest is undoubtedly
in my opinion the brown-tailed
moth. Not one foot of the whole
tract will be neglected.

9Happenngs Of Moment to the Man Behind the Pow
FILLING The PORK BARREL

"A hog needs all his time to make
pork and should not be expected to
spend any moments fighting lice.
Alfalfa and skim milk are almost
indispensable in the ration of the
growing pig.
All breeds of hogs look good when
taken care Of, and all of them will
yield good money if rightly handled.
Did you ever come across a farmer
who would admit that he did not
know how to feed pigs? Yet the
real pig feeder is rare.
If the pig is stinted in its food at
any time of its life, it can never
become perfect pork producer.
A hog can be starved to eat al
most anything, but seldom does
well on spoiled food.
One way to improve land rapidly
is to pasture hogs upon it.
The three-hundred- pound pig at
eight months is the master work of
a feeder.
Second crop alfalfa is fine for the
pig, but if pastured very closely it
will soon run out.
The pig can eat more than it can
digest; and digest more than he can
use. So it is not fact that a pig
can take care of all he can eat.
There is no feed better for pigs and
calves than sweet skimmilk right
from the separator.
Pigs, sows and fattening hogs
should be kept in separate Enclosures.
They will be healthier and derive
more benefit from their feeds by
such handling.
Inc most profitable pork Is pro-
duced by using as largely as possible
other feeds than corn.
Sows that come from prolific
families are more certain to inherit
those qualities and become good
mothers than those that descend
from families that are less prolific.
Where it is possible, it is best to
defer selection of SOW pigs for the
breeding herd until they have made
considerable growth.
Give the SOW a movable house in
the pasture just before narrowing
time, as the youngsters will thrive
on the grass. If she farrows i'm the
fall the quiet of the pasture is just
what she needs.

led to a narrow hallway opening into

Along this narrow hallway were
doors opening into the offices Of va

ETC., were on the floor below. and the
new vault built against the wall at

a receptacle for the banks books OF
account Therefore 1t had larger in
terror than an ordinary vault. and as
the shelves had not yet been built in
there were several feet Of free space
inside. which would be occupied by
books and records later on.
The huge steel ribbed door had been
left invitingly open by the workmen
engaged In adding the finishing touch
es. and consequently 1t afforded an un-
equaled source Of delight to Bobby
and Kitty. whose active imaginations
readily converted the interior Of the
vault intoethe cave Of daring SNUG

door and the jam. A few inches more
Of space and the face Of George Doyle
appeared In the doorway.
As the door on opening swung to-

the vault, Doyle. shielded by it. was
enabled to put one foot over the sill
and stand half within the vault room.
Pressing himself close against the
door, he could watch In the darkened.
shadowy room the operations Of Red
Flanagan and Mr.. Lee Randall. alias
Jimmy Valentine.
He saw the sheet Of sandpaper dut-

his fingers with his tongue to ease the
burning pain that throbbed through
them; he saw Red Flanagan drop on
his knees and crouch against the door
Of the giant safe; he saw Valentine
step forward, seize the combination
with the tips Of his fingers, press his
ear against the vault and gently. ca
