WASHINGTON WOOD
TESTED FOR VALUE
Business Men Back Forest Product tx
pertinent

Business men of the state have f.
nanced the tests which the chemistry
department of the University of Wash
ington desires to make to determine
the possible uses of forest by-products,
and as a result a carload Of fir stumps
will be shipped east in a few days, to
be put through a preliminary process
for the experiments in the
university laboratory.
DR.. Henry K. Benson, associate pro-
lessor of chemistry, has been planning
for the experiments for several months,
but until a few days ago had not OBJ
tanned the financial backing which was
required. The Chicago, Milwaukee
& Puget Sound Railroad has agreed to
ship the cargo free.
The stumps were obtained at Park,
a small station in Whatcom county,
and will be sent to the reducing plant
at Cadillac, Mich. The products OBJ
tanned from the stumps at the re-
ducing plant will be returned to the
University Of Washington and will be
made the basis for experiments in the
chemical laboratory whereby DR.. Ben
son hopes to demonstrate that they
contain several substances of market
value-of sufficient value, he calcu-
lates. to make them pay the entire
cost of clearing the land. AS these
stumps are ordinarily utter waste, the
chemical experiments, if they come up
to DR.. Benson's expectations, will save
vast sums to the forestry industry Of
this state

Red Spiders and Mites

The red spider is not an insect, but
mite. 1t sometimes is reddish in
color, hence the name, but it is often
brownish or greenish yellow. There
are Red Spiders Of the orchard, of
hops, or raspberries and strawberries,
of greenhouse plants, as well as of
grass and shade trees, like locust and
cottonwood. The true Red Spider
passes the winter in the ground in a
partly grown condition. Other red
spiders, like the Clover mite or or
chard mite, lay thick shelled but
microscopic winter eggs on the bark
Of the plants they infest. Often the
eggs are so numerous on certain twigs
OF orchard trees as to give red color
to the bark. Such eggs are generally
resistant to spray. Sulphur-lime has
but little effect on them, but the black
leaf spray destroys many.
All mites are susceptible to sulphur.
Plain cold water has also detrimental
effect on their growth. Summer
sprays containing sulphur, such as
weak sulphur-lime Zone part Of concen-
trate with thirty parts Of water) or sui
phured kerosene emulsion, work well
in checking either the brown mites Oh
red spiders. In making the kerosene
emulsion add one pound of sulphur tc
each gallon of kerosene used. A com
mon formula is to add sulphur to soar
solution Us pounds sulphur, and 2
pounds whale-oil soap to barrel o.
water). Instead of soap as stickel
flour-paste is sometimes used. Sui
phur may be mixed with the paste and
added to weak sulphur-lime. Simply
busting sulphur into the trees is effect
i've in summer time.
Blackleaf tobacco extract is very
dependable. 1t may be used one
part to seventy-fve, or the stronger
blackleaf 40 may be mixed one tc
eight hundred Of water. 1t would be
we'll to add this to the whaleoil soar
and sulphur spray. A simple treat
ment that often proves entirely effect
i've is to turn a garden hose on the
infested plants. Where this is impos-
sible a stream from the spray pump
may be employed.
For the red spiders Of the green
house, sulphur is commonly placed on
the heating pipes. The fumes given
off prevent the development of the
mites.

COST OF RUNNING
THE SHERIFFS OFFICE
Sheriffs Collections Will Not Pay Run
ming Expenses of Office

There were 81 counties in the state
in which the losses in the Office Of
sheriff in the year 1911 had increased
as compared with the year 1910, while
there were IA counties in which the
percentage of the fees spent for run
ming the Offices were higher than in
1910, and in % of the counties the
expense of running the sheriff's office
was more than in 1910, as is shown by
statemen, which has been prepared
by the state bureau of inspection and
which shows the expenses, the collec-
tons, the losses and the percentage OF
fees expended in each county in the
sheriff's office in the years 1911, 1910
and 1909. The county which ex-
pended the smallest percentage OF its
collections was Yakima county which
used only 249.03 per cent of its fees
to run the office, while the highest
percentage was in Wahkiakum county
or 1,618.28 per cent. The smallest
loss was found in Skamania county
where the expenses were only $o2o.1O
more than the fees collected, while in
King county which broke all records
the loss in the sheriff's Office in 1911
amounted to $32,245. Owing to the
fact that no fees are collected for state
and county work, the office OF the
sheriff is not paying one, and there
is not sheriff's office in the state in
which the fees will pay the expenses
the office. In 1909 the cole ctions in
the sheriff's office in Chelan county
amounted to $4,000, in 1910 they
increased to $7o8.45 and in 1911
they were $1,037.55. The cost of
running the Office which in 1909
amounted to $4,505 increased to S.
SIS in 1910 and in 1911 it cost still
more of $5,845 to run the office. This
shows that there was an increase in the
loss from IS, 4o8 in 1909 to $6,071 in
1910 and to $6,323 in 1911, while
owing to the increase in the collec-
tions in 1911 the percentage of fees
expended was $568.87 as compared
with $6o8.62 in 1910 and 100 per
cent in 1909.

The Beginning of the Season of For
est Fires

The annual scourge from forest fires
has already started, but, it is gratifying
to note, no important fires are reported
in the United States. 1t is to be hoped
that after the costly lessons of recent
years vigilance in guarding against
forest fires will not be relaxed.
The fires Of which reports have re-
Gently come in have all been in Can
ada, the worst being in Yukon territory
and those of less serious consequence
in British Columbia. The Yukon fires
which are reported to have destroyed a
large amount of good timber and cord
wood, as we'll as buildings, horses,
etc., are said to have been deliberately
set by wood choppers to burn off un-
derbrush. Although the maxium pen
atty of the law is promised all persons
guilty Of starting these forest fires the
damage cannot be repaired.
Timber is getting too scarce now
to be wantonly wasted and every
means should be taken to avoid forest
fires.
The disastrous forest fires Of the
past years in Idaho, Montana, Ore
gon and the Porcupine district Of
Ontario in which many lives were lost
and much property was destroyed have
not yet been forgotten. Porcupine
has hardly yet recovered from its set
back Of about year ago. These les
sons should be sufficient warning to
all that public interest demands that
every possible precaution be taken to
avoid starting forest fires, or, if once
started, to put them out before they
get beyond control.

Tomato Seed Oil

In Italy and France an industry has
sprung up in the manufacture of to-
mato seed oil. The Consular reports
note that in the Province of Parma,
Italy, $4,000 tons Of tomatoes are con-
served annually and the residue, which
until recently was thrown away, now
yields 900 tons of oil. Chemically
this is classed with cottonseed oil, and
it will be used in soap-making and
other industries where that oil finds
uses. The extension of the tomato
oil industry will be largely at the ex-
pense of the American cottonseed oil
trade.
