When the waves are running freely

select little hotel in the Wisconsin
woods to Glen Island, but on a perfect
moonlight night, with Just breeze
sufficient to ripple the fair hair OF a
pretty girl opposite, the man at the
oars seldom finds the task arduous.
# Nor did Mayor Bedight complain.
The running ripple slapped the prov
of the boat rhythmically and from the
shadows along the approaching shore
of the island the weird hcot OF an owl
proclaimed the wttchery Of the night.
/ With a scarcely percepub1e TIT,
the boat grounded on the shelving
sandy shore. BedIght sprang out
and pulled the craft further upon its
cushioned anchorage The girl sat
in, the boat, intently watching the
mayor. That gentleman took from
the locker a basket well laden. Quick.

School Notes

On Monday the report blanks for the
first month will be given out. The
aim of these blanks is to secure a clear
understanding between parents and
teacher, and create harmony in all that
relates to school work. A hearty CO.

of any school.
Miss Winona Barbour of the North

missed cuts off its share of the years

est:
A British syndicate has put up
the money to dig 25O0 feet down
in the foot of an Arizona butte
in the hope of securing a solid
diamond as big a New York sky
scraper and reputed to be worth
untold millions. The London
newspapers print columns about
this remarkable quest for a long
buried treasure. even the staid
and conservative journals. like
the venerable Standard. going
into rhapsodies over traditions of
the Mokai tribe and the question
whether the worlds biggest

genuine diamond or just COM
mon exterrestial solidness.
Ages ago, so runs the story
which induced the London BAN
kers to finance the expedition, a
huge solid diamond shot out of
rpace and hit the ground hard
cump in the heart of the Ari-
zona desert, about ten miles
from Canyon Diablo on the Santa
Fe railway.
Several British correspondents
are with the expedition and one
of them sends the following ac-
count to the London Daily
Times. Viewed from a dis

little different from the count

worlds greatest mysteries. The
top is followed out into huge
bowl-shaped depression, about
600 feet deep and perhaps a mile
across. much like volcanic
crater, but there was no signs
anywhere of even ancient vol
anic activity.
The scientific members of the
syndicate, some of whom are
famous geological experts. are of
one mind in the belief that this
crater marks the place where
giant meteorite, as large as the
circumference of the bowl would
indicate, struck the earth many
thousands of years ago and
buried itself deep in the bowels
of the earth. The spot where
the meteor fell attracted no at
tention until a wandering ranch
man, who lost his way, stopped
to rest at the foot of Meteor
Mountain and idly picked up
meteoric fragments. He is an
educated man and quickly dis
covered that imbedded in the
iron matrix were a number of
hard diamonds. All around him
he found the ground strewn with
similar fragments.
The ranchman, whose name
is Charles H. Langley, took a
couple of the fragments back to
the camp with him and later
sent them to an eminent Eng
lish scientist. Upon receipt of
the latter's report the sides of
the mountain and the desert for
some distance were thoroughly
prospected and enough gem
carrying specimens were found
to indicate that the main body of
the meteor must have been

The COdling Moth or
Apple Worm In Navajo
and Apache Counties
By A. W. Morrill,, State Entomologist

By A. W. Morrill,, State Entomologist
Early in the present month
/ visited Holbrook for the purpose
of comforting with the cory pest
inspector, Mr.. S. D. Smith. On
this visitsI had an opportunity to
obtain considerable information
concerning the present condition
of the codling moth in this sec
tion of the state. A year ago 1
visited st. Johns and on this
years trip l visited Woodruff
and am consequently familiar
with the codling moth conditions
at these two points from first
hand information.
The prospects for the develop
ment of apple and pear growing
Navajo and Apache Counties
are so promising that it is very
important at this time that the
spread of the codling moth to un-
infested sections be checked and
that steps be taken to protect the
fruit in those sections which are
already infested.
In checking the spread the
most important step is to pre-
vent the transportation of in
fest fruit from infested to un-
infested sections. A single box
of fruit worth only few cents
is capable of carrying worms to
some orchard or section not pre-
viously infested and cost hum
dreds or thousands of dollars for
control or as a matter of deterior-
alton in the value of the fruit.
Fortunately we now have author
ity to prohibit the transportation,
sale or giving away of infested
fruit in sections where it is like
ly to do damage to local fruit
growers. In this connection the
following notification has just
been issued:
In all sections now infested by
the codling month, apple and
pear growers should at once be-
gin to prepare for the control of
the pest next season.
First. printed directions should
be obtained from the Office of the
State Entomologist. These dir
ections include the names of the
manufacturers of spray pumps.
Second. quotations on spray
pumps and poisons should be OBJ
tanned and the outfit and all
necessary materials ordered.
For the small orchards found
in Navajo and Apache Counties
spray pumps costing from fifteen
Co fifty dollars, according to the
number of trees to be sprayed,
may be used with advantage At
Woodruff two outfits costing be-
tween forty and fifty dollars
apiece, purchased and used in co.
operation by the apple and pear
growers, would save in the
average year several hundred
dollars worth of fruit with a
comparatively small investment.
At St. Johns four or five such
outfits of a power sprayer could
be used to advantage. In gene
raj the money invested in the
outfit the cheaper the spray can
be applied to the trees.
In connection with spraying.
banding the trees to trap the
worms is very proftablemeasure.
This process is described and ex-
planned in the printed circular of
advice for codling moth control
above mentioned. Another use
full measure is the frequent de-
struction of the fruit which
falls to the ground. This fruit
contains many live worms and
should be picked up and destroyed
frequently or else hogs should be
allowed to run in the orchard.
In addition to furnishing print
ed directions and. miscellaneous
