fruit. OF course it is impossible to
effectually cover the fruit without al
so covering the leaves and branches
but we have seen growers make it a
point to cover not only the fruit but
also the wood of the tree. If we
we're spraying for San Jose or other
scale that would be the thing to do
but we must bear i'll mind that We are
spraying for definite insect that eats
only i'll the apple itself.
With any system OF applying the
poison that we have now, or are like
ly to have, we necessarily waste d
very large percentage of the material
No attention can be given to this
however. All we can do is to spray
so as to cover the fruit and let II hit
what other things it may.
The first spraying must be begun
At least as soon as the last petals fall
or when 90 per cent OF them are of
the trees, as the time is short that
the calyx of the little apple is in a
condition to receive the material
Many counts of wormy apples show
that from Is per cent to IS per cent
OF all the worms go into the fruit
through this calyx, hence the import
ance OF getting this cavity filled with
the poison before the sepals close SC
that the poison cannot be gotten in
to the cavity.
The only way to determine wheth.
er good spraying is being done or moi
is TO get into the trees as soon as the
spray is dry on the trees and examine
the blossoms. The amount of spray
that shows on the leaves and twigs
does not indicate much, for the spray
must be driven at the young fruit
from all directions and with consider.
able force to do the work properly.
In conclusion it might be well foi
the benefit of the beginners in or
chardinp TO give few rules to fol.
low. Begin work as soon as the pet.
ais are nearly all off the trees. Get
the work done within the next eight
days. Use from three to four pound:
OF arsenate OF lead to each one hun.
dred gallons of water. Use from one
hundred to two hundred pounds pres.
sure per square inch. Spray from al
sides OF the tree. Be sure that the
calyx cavity of each little apple i,
filed with the poison. Remembci
that more can be done at this time
than all other applications that may
be made later.

defunct Union Trading company, which
went to the wall in December last, was
arrested as a fugitive from justice by
Sheriff H. C. Jessup of Garfield county.
IN Denver last Saturday night, Nine
charges Of embezzlement and obtaining
money under false pretenses are pending
against Schneck in the Garfield court al

Sehenok is accused Of obtaining from
the funds of the Union Trading company
amounts variously estimated at from
$4,000 to $4,000. He claims that not

the company. but that the company still
owes him a portion of his salary.

company little over two years ago.
It had capital stock of s55o.ooo and
conducted chain of general stores in
fourteen Colorado towns, mostly on the
Western slope.

MATRIMONIAL KNOTS
Rocky Ford Young People the Victims
of Cupid's Darts

A wedding that was surprise to their
many friends was that of Arthur Man.
ming. prosperous young farmer south
west Of town, and Miss Helen Wilson,
daughter of T. B. Wilson. the veteran
newspaper man and Patterson Hollow
farmer, who were quietly married at the
Presbyterian manse on Saturday after
noon. The young people had planned
things well, even the members OF their
own families not being in the secret.
Miss Helen and her mother had driven in
to visit the Monkman family, when the
young lady suggested to Miss Maude
Monkman-her former school chum-tbat
they 90 down town, and to Maude's great
surprise she attended wedding before
returning home. While the wedding was
slightly hurried. everyone concerned was
well satisfied after the first shock was
over, and the Young people are now re-
eeiying the hearty congratulations OF
| their host of friends.
On the same day as the above DR..
Weaver again acted as Cupid's emissary
when he offieiated at the wedding OF
Ralph Wadleigh and Miss Mamie Uhls.
The young couple have large circle OF
friends in this city who are extending
hearty Fluctuations.
The Rocky Ford Bakery has developed
into a regular matrimonial agency lately,
as the weddings have been coming thick
and fast in that popular business house
since the coming of leap year-whether
this is the reason for the frequency OF
the affairs the Enterprise has not been
informed. The latest wedding was that
of Theodore Weld and Miss Esther Zoah
Giles, who were married by Father Nee
nan at the Catholic parsonage on Sunday
A magnificent wedding dinner was served
at the home of Carl Weld. brother of the
groom. Excellent music was rendered

WATCH OUT
FOR THE
CODDLING
MOTH

The time will soon be at hand
again to resume the annual fight with
our arch enemy, the coddling moth l..
The old adage that job well begun
is half done is nowhere more true
than with the work of the coddling
moth spraying. III the first spraying
is not thoroughly done no amount oi
work later can make up for it. The
time is SO short in which this effect
i've first spraying can be done that
il is essential to have everything III
readiness before the trees blossom.
\ number OF our growers who have
small orchards are advocating the
hand pump and barrel sprayer instead
OF the big power spraycr. 1t is not
probable that any better work can be
done with the hand outfit, in fact the
advantage should be with the bigger
machine, as greater pressure on the
nozzle can be obtained. The fact re-
mains, however, that some OF the
most successful work has been done
with the small apparatus which indi-
Gates that we get in too much OF a
hurry with the power outfit and do
not do the work as thoroughly as II
should be done.
1t seems that the orchardist is be-
tween the proverbial devil and the
deep blue sea" in his work wor we
are told that if too much poison is
used the trees will be killed with ar
senical poisoning and if not enough is
used the worms will get the apples.
We think there is no doubt that i'll
the past few years more arsenic has
been used in our orchards than is
GOOD for the trees, but this came
largely from the fact that large
quantity of arsenate of lead was used
per unit of water and the spraying
was done several times during the
summer. Experiments during the
past two or three years have proven
quite conclusively that three or four
pounds of lead to one hundred gal
Ions OF water is as effectual as six
or seven pounds. In fact two and
one-half pounds with thorough work
gave about the same result as the
larger amount. The secret of success
lies i'll getting the poison where the
young larva will have to eat it be-
fore they can get into the fruit.
Spray on the trunks or branches OF
the trees or even on the leaves can
do no good. The only place where
the worm gets the poison is on the

WOODMEN PICNIC
Assuming Greater Pro-
portions-May "a Will
Be Big Day

On Tuesday Messrs Hitchcock. Buroh
and Bishop of the W. o. W. picnic COM
mittee. accompanied by the editor of the
Enterprise. vistedOrdway and Sugar City
in the interest of the proposed Woodmen
basket picnic. and it gives US pleasure
to announce that the affair is assuming
proportions that will make it Valley
celebration in place of strictly local as
first planned.
The Ordway band of sixteen pieces was
engaged for the occasion. and many
Woodmenfrom Crowley county metropolis
will likely accompany their fine musical
organization; at Sugar City assurances
were received that many would be over,
for-as the sacohasine townspeople said
they never miss the chance to attend a
picnic in Rocky Ford.
During the week Fowler. Manzanola,
Swink, Cheraw and La Junta have also
been heard from, and they all say
"Sure, we'll be at your basket picnic. and
will come prepared for a full days enjoy
ment."
From the completed plans everyone
will have all the amusement that can we'll
be crowded into so short time. as a
program Of races and sports has been ar
ranged under the supervision of shorty
Dye that cannot fail to please everybody.
There will be horse races, pony races.
burro races, barrel race. catching OF
creased pig. etc. the sports to conclude
with ball game between the RookyFord
team and the Pueblo Indians.
The only uncertainty about the affair
at this writing is the date upon which it
will be held.as the date first ehosen-May
23-oomes in conflict with the graduation
exercises. and it is likely that it may be
changed to May "a. SO that the school
children may be present. This will be
definitely decided at the camp meeting

DOES ITSELF PROUD
Bernard Home the Scene of Brilliant
Opening of the High School
Graduating Exercises.

Graduating Exercises.
Festivities attendant upon the
commencement exercises in the
Rocky Ford high school had a
most auspicious opening on Fri
day evening when the annual Jun
ior-Senior reception was held at
the Bernard residence on south
Eighth street
The beautiful home was attrac-
lively decorated in appropriate
colors, the hall being in crimson
and gold, the high school colors,
the parlor in purple and gold,
those of the Seniors and another
room in black and gold, the Junior
colors.
In the hall punch was served.
and the guests given cards bearing
the announcement of the last Sem
ior examination. The rooms were
divided into Science, Art and His
tory in each of which burlesque
examination was given and the
grades recorded. The average
grasle decided whether Seniors
should graduate or 'hunk" and a
fair estimate is that as usual some
fiunked--this list including most
of the faculty. The prizes--beau-
tiful leather volumes of Brown
ing's poems-were awarded to
Ruth Farris and Hamer Culp.
After the games were finished a
delightful musical program was
rendered. Those furnishing the
greatly appreciated entertainment
were Miss Pansy Sheldon, vocal
solos: Mr.. LeRoy Elser, vocal So
los and Miss Alice Babcock, in
strumental solos. At the request
of all present, after her selections
were rendered, Miss Babcock con-
sented to play The Rosary"
which was greatly enjoyed.
A pleasing feature of the even
ing was toast by the Seniors to
their former principal, Prof. Nit
chell, who started this class in
the new high school.
A three course luncheon was
then served by the Juniors, after
which the guests departed, unan-
imously proclaiming the Juniors
to be unusually royal entertainers,
the only regret being that there
was only one such reception that
the class of 1912 could enjoy.
The festive occasion closed with
the heartily expressed hope by
the Seniors that every mem
ber of the Junior class might be
present and have similar pleas
ure accorded them year hence.
On Tuesday evening the High
School Alumni met for the pur-
pose of making arrangements for
the final reception that will mark
the close of high school to the
class of young people who were
recipients of the evenings pleas
ures reported above. According to
present plans the Alumni recep-
ton will be held in the high
school on the evening of Friday,

SPARROWS
EXCITE THE
CITIZENS
Especial to THE TINES. }


Dyer. Ind, May 2.-Dyer yesterday
nearly had a fire scare, and but for the
fact that the whole thing turned out to
be fzzle, several heroes would have
been developed for the occasion.
1t seems that family OF sparrows
moved by the pioneering spirit built
nest in one of the unused chimneys of
the Anton Keiser home. Yesterday
morning when Mrs. Keiser attempted to
use this chimney in connection with her
summer kitchen stove. she found the
basement of the building filling up with
smoke. and thinking fire was threat
ened. she asked her neigflbor. DR.. Chew
ieny. to sound the fie alarm over the
Narthw estern telephone line. DR.. Chev-
nigy gave the customary six rings and
soon half OF the population swarfned on
the Keiser homestead, only to find that
a sparrow's nest had been damaged.
Due credit should, however, be given to
Henry Schultz, the blacksmith. and
Mike Fagen. the undertaken, for their
prompt response. they having been
among the first on the scene ready to
fight the fire. August Stommel. cashier
of the First National bank. wanted
very much to be in on the excitement.
but was afraid to leave the bank, fear
ing that the fire noise was merely a
burglars trick to get him out so that
the bank could be robbed without any
interference.
