TO EXTERMINATE SCALE
ON CITRUS FRUIT TREES
State Agricultural Inspector Believes
We Should Raise Citrus Fruits
Here-Scale Easily Killed.

r F. Lawson, state agricultural
Inspector. who arrived recently. viii
spend several days longer IN Browns
Vile. examining into the condition
OF the citrus fruit trees grown in
this vicinity and formulating an
opinion as 10 the suitability OF the
Valley for the raising Of citrus
fruits commercially on a large scale.
In an interview with The Herald
lately he stated that he was sur
prised 10 find SO few citrus trees
planted here: that he had discovered
a Satsuma tree In the city which
was eighteen years old. bears sweet
fruit. and has never been seriously
damaged BY frost.
Mr.. Lawson says that. from what
he has already learned. he fails to
see why the Satsuma grated on tri-
foliata stock should not do as well.
or even better. here than ID does at
Alvin. Beeville and elsewhere in the
state where they are successfully
grown. He believes they will grow
anywhere that the sour orange
thrives.
Mr.. Lawson found that every cI-
trus fruit tree examined here BY him
was affected with red Florida scale
This scale breeds very politically on
the Grand Duke jasmine plant. and
he found the o~leanders here also az
fected.
Mr.. Lawson has n formula that
has been very successfully used BY
the State Agricultural Department
for killing this scale BY spraying The
basis or the spray IL caustic potash
whale oil soap and paraffin oil. and
the cost Of two hundred gallons OF
spray material Is about one dollar
and five cents.
Mr.. Lawson Thursday morning
met the mayor and some OF the city
aldermen in the office Of J.. b. Scott,
az which the matter Of the red Flor
ida scale was discussed, and IL was
arranged that two men should ac-
company Mr.. Lawson 10 assist him
In spraying all OF the citrus frutl
trees in the city, to which he could
gain access. for the purpose OF de-
stroying the scale. Two applica-
tions will be necessary. Mr. Lawson
states. and II properly applied this
will be sufficient 70 kill all or the
scale on the trees.

BANK EXAMINERS REPORT

We have received a copy of
Bank Examiner Howell's report
for 1911. 1t contains a good deal
of interesting matter about the
condition of the state banks. 1t
also gives the cost of this branch
of the state government for the
year at s7.8e4.94. Among the
items of cost, is the salary of a
deputy examiner who drew $500
from the state last year. We would
like to inquire what necessity there
is for deputy bank examiner in
Nevada. There are only twenty
banks in the state that are under
the Jurisdiction Of the bank ex-
aminer. and it certainly seems as
if one man could look after them.
But. then, our liberal legislators
created the position of deputy bank
examiner and it must, of course be
filled.

LAND SPECTATOR MAY r..
MAKE ENORMOUS PROFIT

Charles G.. Reeder the Seattle
land speculate who bought $500
aces of railroad land near Willow
Point recently, has made inquiry
for bids for drilling some wells on
the land. 1t is Mr.. Reeder's
intention to develop the land to
some extent, or al least prove the
practicability of putting water on
it. The price he is to pay the rail-
road company for the land is 50 an
acre, 40 cents an acre being paid
down, with ten years time in which
10 pay the balance. Grain land
near Paradise valley is worth $50
or $50 an acre and alfalfa land is
worth 500 an acre. So if Mr..
Reeder is able to prove irrigation
by pumping to be practical thing
on his $500 acres, he will make
an enormous proflt.-Humboldt

TO MAKE CLARIFIED BUTTER
Method Of Purifying II Which Makes
It as Good az Finest Flor
d. ... ence OIL.

The following are some of DR.. Kitchl
ener's butter recipes
Clarified Butter.-.Put the butter in
a nice clean stewpan. over a very clear
slow fire. watch 1t and when It melts
carefully skim off the buttermilk, etc.,
which will swim on the top. Let It
stand minute or two for the impurt-
ties to sink to the bottom. then pour
the clear butter through sieve int6.
clean basin, leaving the sediment at
the bottom of the stewpan. Butter
thus purified will be as sweet as mar
row-a very useful covering for potted
meats, etc., and for frying fish. equal
to the finest Florence oil.
Burnt Butter.-Put two ounces of
fresh butter into a small frying pan.
When 1t becomes a dark brown color
add to 1t tablespoonful and a half
OF good vinegar and little pepper
and salt.
Oiled Butter.-Put two ounces of
fresh butter into saucepan, set It at
distance from a fire so that Il may
melt gradually till 1t comes to an oil
and pour 1t quietly from the dregs.
This Will supply the place OF olive oil
and by some 1t Is preferred either for
salads or frying.
