SPRAY FOR COOLING MOTH.

Prepare to spray again for cod
ling moth, as soon as the weather
will permit. l find we are going to
have lot of wormy fruit in the
valley, owing to negligence in spray
ing with arsenate of lead. The fruit
crop is comparatively light this year,
and the wise grower will do well to
take no chance in keeping his fruit
clean. Use two pounds of lead to
so gallons of water, apply thorough
ly.
A number of growers have asked
concerning a snail like beast that is
attacking the young pear trees. This
is the pear slug, and the remedy is
to spray the trees with arsenate Of
lead, same strength as for codling
moth. Patrol your orchard careful
ly now after this damp weather, for
indications OF blight, as it spreads
more rapidly in wet weather.

~HE birth Of new year, as we
are all aware. is variously cel-
ebrated, but how many people
know the manner in which
that momentous date is set? Do you
know that the new year is really hours
old before the bulk Of the civilized
world is able to celebrate it?
Priority in rejoicing over the even.
is actually given to the untutored in
habtants of the islands of the south
Pacific. The first Of the civilized world
that will greet 1914 will be the people
of faraway New Zealand Sweeping
westward. the change of date crosses
Asia and then the old world of Europe
and Africa before starting over the
Atlantic to America. Onward it speeds
at the rate of thousand miles an
hour until the first day Of the new
year dies away in the middle of the
Pacific.
In the United States the idea of an
nouncing broadcast over the land the
birth Of the new year originated with
the officers in charge OF the Naval OBJ
Servatory in Washington. Ten years
ago it was suggested that the tele-
graph companies dispatch at midnight
from Washington a series of signals
proclaiming the exact moment of the
new years beginning. The idea was
taken up. and signals were sent out at
midnight and at l, . and 3 o'clock in
the morning following in order that
each great time division of the United
States should receive its own appropri-
ate midnight signal from the nations
capital
Since the beginning Of this service
other telegraph and most of the cable
companies have lent their co operation,
and signals are now sent covering both
North and South America. all our colo
NAL possessions. Australia, Japan and
the principal nations Of Europe Some
idea Of the speed with which these
New Year greetings are flashed from
Washington to distant points can be
gathered from the fact that it takes
less than four-tenths of second to
reach the Manila observatory. five
tenths of q second to reach Lick OBJ
servatory. California: 2.25 seconds to
cover the distance between Washing
ton and the coast survey station ii,
Alaska this includes relaying' and
four seconds to let the Wellington OBJ
servatory in New Zealand know that
the new year has reached us after the
celebration there has been hours old
and folks are in bed.
