CuRRANI AND GOOSE
BERRY MAG60TS|

Currants and gooseberries beco me
wormy by the maggot of a small fly.
The fly pierces through the skin OF
the young fruit and injects an egg.
When the currants are fully ripe the
maggots drop out and enter the
ground, where they pass the winter.
From the nature of the attack it is
impossible to cope with this pest
with any spray. The only vulner-
able period in the life history of the
currant maggot is when the insect
has entered the ground. A light
cultivation of the soil during the
late fall will tend to mash some of
the worms in the ground and will
be a help in protecting next years
crop. However, since these plants
have very shallow roots, care must
taken not to injure the root system
of the bushes. Chickens do consid-
cradle good if allowed to scratch out
the maggots at the base of the plants.
1t might be we'll to pick the entire
crop early before any of the mag
gots escape. The fruit could be
used for jelly and the presence Of
the worms does not impair the
quality of the preserves. As it is, a
good many worms in currents are
unconsciously used by every house.

CONTRIBUTED
Chas. Pasche and family arrived
here from Anehein, Cal. last week.
Mr.. Pasche had written to Christ
Kruse to meet them at the depot
but they missed connections here
and Mr.. Kruse met them at the
Kennewick Hotel where they had
stayed the first night. Next morn
ing Mr.. Kruse invited his neighbor,
J. w. Behrman to go with him to
bring the family to the Kruse home,
but when they met them at the hotel
the visitors had changed their minds
and wanted to go to North Yakima,
where they had friends living, as
they thought this was a desert and
no place for them.
Finally they went along, Mr..
Pasche with Mr.. Behrman, who
showed them his orchard, hanging
full with apricots, cherries an d
peaches. Then a big change came,
and they since have bought five
acres in the Garden Tracts, two and
half acres from Mr.. Stampa and
two and half acres from Mr.. Kruse.
Mr.. Pasche and family are German
Lutherans and would not have re-
NAMED had there not been a local
church and pastor here.

by the bright lettering. The matches
I'm hand the most natural thing i'm the
world for anyiehild is to put them in
the mouth They go on sucking any
number they can get hold of-and then
die. L3 t. ,atlla
The amount Of ipoison in matches
differs with different makes. but it is
'safe to say that one. match of any
poisonous kind is a danger to a baby.
And i'm spite OF this matches are not
labeled as poison and there is no indi-
cation to the innocent man or woman
that with every box of matches
enough poison To kill a score OF men or
fifty children is pat on the kitchen
shelf.
We are safeguartled against poison
bought at the drug store by the law
that compels il To be labeled. So we
keep carbolic acid for instance. out of
childs way. as deadly. Common
knowledge of the power of loaded re-
volver safeguards most OF us there.
And we lock our loaded revolvers. But
there is no such. safeguard against
matches. Few knew they are poison.
