as well and favorably known as an
apple locality in years gone by as
any state in the Unian, and it is a
peculiar co-instance that the locality
which was to wrest its laurels away
could also be named ~ Y. but for
the distinction-North Yakima.
Also to make the similarity and dis
tinction more complete, 1t remained
for a man of that state, reared on its
soil and familiar with the raising of
fruit under the old conditions, to
come into this greater fruit country
and take an active part in its de-
Velopment
such has been the experience of
Willard f. f. Selleck born in the
former state in 1853, and although a
small boy when his father and uncles
were called to the war, yet the ne
cessities of the case pressed him into
service at home to assist in the sup
port of the family, and from that
time on till he finished his schooling
in the State Normal at Potsdam, n.
Y, and during VacatiOn---for he had
10 work his way upward, he was a
steady tiller of the soil, both at HON e
and working out; and this at time
when the apple was being extensively
planted and thought much of, so that
he had first hand knowledge of that

JUST ONE LITTLE BUG
MAY SAVE THE FRUIT
Cornell Insect Expert Finds Much
Desired White Fly
Parasite

ITHACA, y. Y, April 25.-Friends
in this city of Russell Sage Woglum. a
graduate of Cornell university in the
class of 1906. and now one of the eX-
pertS in the bureau of entomology of
the United States department of ag-
riculture. learn that he has returned
from $4,000 mile trip around the
world for just one little bug and it is
expected to save the country millions
of dollars eventually.
1t is a little parasite insect which
can kill the white fly, the bane of
Americas fruit growers, which the
department of agriculture estimates
costs them millions annually and
which the department has been try
ing for 80 years to wipe out.
He Finally Succeeds
To Wolgum was assigned the job of
finding the parasite, and he started
on his search. In Hongkong he
suffered an attack of appendicitis and
underwent an operation, and in India
he had sun stroke. On reaching La
bore. India, he found the long sought
and much priced parasite and his
search was over
Specimens of the insect which is
known in the scientific world as the
prospaltella lahorensis, have been
brought to the country. and the bu-
reau of entomology expects in time to
check the white fly plague.

THE LURE OF THE SOIL

reached the Yakima valley in 1904,
where, after two years as superin-
tendent of the North Yakima public
schools. he went into debt for ten
acres of fruit land on Mob Hill at
$500 per acre. At the end of three
years and from no home and no pros
poets, he became possessed of his first
home and the brightest of prospects,
for the sales from his crop at that
time were SIZE per acre, which, af-
ter deducting expenses, gave him the
first tangible proof of the wonderful
resources of his new found home; and
with it all come the best of health,
which he had felt the need of for
some time. Mr.. Selleck has become
thoroughly interested in developing
the valley lands and is probably as
responsible for bringing permanent
residents here as any other one man,
and says that with all due regard
for the success which eastern grow
ers are making. in what he terms the
rain localities yet he is very posi-
tive that, by far the greatest success
can be had in the irrigated sections
for the two reasons--iirst, that the
supply of moisture can be regulated
to a certainty to just the needs of the
various fruits and soils. and that the
spraying (Without which fruit culture
cannot succeedD can only be effective
ly done in country free from rain
during that season.
Mr.. Selleck still resides on q part
of the land which gave him his first
material prosperity, and when at
home enjoys all that has grown up
around it, but his business takes him
back over the eastern states a great
part of the time.
