nurse, aged about 40 years, who lett
her home at the corner of Third and
Almond streets Saturday night, after
having put her little daughter to bed
and has not been heard from Stree.
Friends fear that the disappearance is
due to mental collapse.
Mrs. Damon, having put her little
daughter, Viola, aged II, to bed s'a.ur-
day evening, read for some time III the
kitchen of her home, and later walk

Because the sale of worm eaten
apples would reduce the price of the
fruit, Professor j. M. Aldrich of the
University of Idaho, takes John u
Mcpherson, state horticultural in
spector, to task for the way he has
been conducting his campaign against
the inferior stock. DR.. Aldrich's let
ter condemning the inspectors actions
was received last week at Governor
Hawley's office.
Cutting around an occasional worm
hole in a cooking apple is no great
trouble" the professor thinks, al
though he admits he would not buy the
apples himself if he could get anything
else on the market. He says the refus-
al to allow this grade of fruit OH the
market has automatically raised the
prices of apples and has done nobody
any good but the fruit grower himself
He thinks that the state should allow
the worm eaten apples on the market
because there are so many parts of

eastern demand are almost never rails

hardship on the grower of this grade
of the stock and believes THAI the
state is helping to raise the price OF
the other grade when it stops the sale
of inferior fruit.
Among other interesting things, DR..
Aldrich says: I'm the present condi-
ton, when most horticultural sections
are infested with codling moth, it is
nearly or quite immaterial VIII, ,ther
wormy apples are sold, as far as
spreading the pest is concerned. The
proper procedure, in my judgment, is
to prevent the sale of apples actual
ly containing worms in those sections
around the edges where the fruit is
new and the worm not yet common,
while the inspectors should pay no
to the codling moth in the
main fruit growing sections
In speaking of the quarantine against
the worm eaten apple, he continues: :.
"At this point legitimate quarantine
stops and the effort to illegitimately
raise the price of apples to the con-
sumer begins.
