Report Of Committee on Agriculture and
Statistics, Highland Improvement Club q

Thornber has personally visited
seventy orchards, many of them
several times and has given practi-
cal advice to the growers concerning
the following: Pear blight, coddling
moth, potato blight, woolly aphis,
green aphis, collar rot, shot hole
fungi, cut worm, peach twig borer
and other pests; trees turning vel
low, pruning, spraying, irrigation,
setting trees, thinning fruit, selec-
ton of seeds, budding for polleniza-
ton, fertilizer, intercropping, cover
crops, corn in orchard, treatment
OF hard pan subsoil, etc.
He has given five orchard dem
onstrations for summer pruning in
different parts of the valley, at
tended by $50 growers and a field
budding demonstration on the High
lands attended by 40 growers.
While this report cannot cover
every detail but deals only in gen.
eral way with the program as carried
out, this committee wishes to call
attention to the repeated cautions of
Prof. Thornber concerning pear
blight, possibly the most destruc-
tive agent with which the grower
has to contend. This should not
detract from his warnings relative
to other orchard pests but the grow
ers are urged to keep constant watch
for pear blight and be prepared to
take action promptly to prevent its
spread.
Some of us are not as yet alarmed
concerning the matter but its serious
ness would have been apparent had
all growers been with the Thornber
party last July, when in one par
! ticular orchard in the valley blight
was found in one tree only. In
structions regarding the treatment
were given, consisting of cutting out
parts affected and disinfection of the
wound. When Prof: Thornbe1
again visited this orchard, ON Friday
last, approximately so trees were
affected.
The rapidity OF the spread of this
disease and the certainty of death to
the tree calls for immediate action.
! Mr.. DeSellem, fruit inspector Of
Yakima county, advised the chair
man of this committee that unless

The disease variously known as
California peach blight, fruit spot
l or shot hole fungus, is probably the
most important one at present
threatening our peach trees in Ken
newick.
Prof. Thornber, in his examina-
ton Of our peach orchards found
some quite seriously affected and
warned peach growers to guard
against its effects by spraying, as
soon as the leaves had fallen, with
double strength Bordeaux mixture
or with solution of bluestone-six
pounds to fifty gallons of water. For
November spraying H. S. Jackson,
botanist and plant pathologist of the
Oregon Agricultural College, recon-
: mends Bordeaux mixture, with the
i Formula, $3.50.
| have found several other Or
chards, among them my own, in
which the presence of the disease
can be detected by the shot hole
effect on the leaves. learn that
the disease has been reported as
quite serious in the Milton Free
water district and Prof. Thornber
says that large part of the peach
crop OF Charleston was rendered un-
salable by the presence of this d.
sease.
The disease seems to be rapidly
spreading in this state and Oregon,
but have heard of only one or two
/ orchards in this vicinity where the
crop was seriously affected. In CAL
ifornia, however, it has for many
years troubled the peach growers
seriously. 1t is certainly worth our
while to watch for it and take means
to prevent possibly serious injury
later.
In the orchards I have examined.
the disease seems to effect mostly
the variety incorrectly called Early
Eloerta.' | have found no evil

something was done at once, IS per
cent of our pear orchards would be
obliterated in from 3 to 5 years and
that large proportion of our apple
trees would also be lost, especially
those of the Wagner and Spitzen-
berg varieties. He also stated that
lacking organized effort to control
it, blight has obtained such start
that the loss in Yakima county this
year in pear trees alone amounted
to $4,000, allowing the very con-
sentative estimate of S. per tree, s
years old.
The remedy-As start this COM
mittee recommends that the follow
ing bulletins on pear blight be Sc
cured at once: One issued by the
Department of Agriculture. Wash
ington, D. c.; one issued by Ex-
pertinent Station, Corvallis, Ore.
one issued by Experiment Station,
Ithaca, N. Y; one issued by Expert
ment Station, Bozeman, Mont, and
one from the Station at Pullman,
Wash.
Following out suggestion of Prof.
Thornber the committee also recon-
mends that the growers be gotten
together and steps taken to secure
a competent man, especially trained
for this particular work, whose
duties for at least three months
during the growing season would be
to travel from orchard to orchard,
watching for and treating blight.
With the special inspector cooper
ating with the regular fruit Inspector,
authorities give assurance that the
evil can be controlled. There being
over 200 acres planted to pears in
the Kennewick district, the expense
per acre each year under the above
system of protection would not near
ly amount to the value of one tree
and while we are hoping and work
ing for better legislation that can be
applied in such crisis, let us take
some action Immediately to save our
pear orchards.
In conclusion the committee asks
that the following be kept in mind:
Blight is in our valley. 1t can be
! controlled by effective cooperation.
Help yourself by assisting others to
control it.

The activities of this committee
have been confined chiefly to CO.
onerating with a like committee Of
the Kennewick Commercial Club in
arranging and otherwise assisting the
work of Prof.W. S. Thornber, horti-
cnlturist of Lewiston, Idaho, who by
special arrangement with the North
ern Pacific Irrigation Co., has been
advising the growers of the Kenne-
wick District along different lines
Of agricultural endeavor; and also
in working with Mr.. VIM. Meikle,
instructor of agriculture at the
Kennewick High School, in the pro-
motion of an Experiment Club for
seed selection.
For several reasons the latter has
not as yet reached the desired goal,
hut the different clubs making up
the Experiment Club will have some
renorts to file with the secretary
which. while perhaps not complete,
will be of considerable value to our
members and it is to be hoped that
the committee of next year will give
this department earnest considera-
alton that the work well started by
Mr.. Meikle may prove to be of the
benefits intended.
Concerning the work of Prof.
Thornber, the committee begs to
report that beginning with a trip
ON May 23rd, Prof. Thornber has
visited Kennewick twice each month
up to and including September, re-
naming two days each time and re-
turning on Nov. LIST to deliver a
lecture omitted on Sept. 26.
Beginning with an illustrated lee
ture entitled Community Build
ing" Prof. Thornber has followed
up with lectures on Peach, y
pear" Apple" Grape Gull
ture," "Soil and Cover Crops, "
Identifying Home Grounds" and
Byproducts of the Orchard "
These lectures were held at Kenne.
wick in the Commercial Club rooms,
while one evening of each trip has
been spent at the Highland Club
house and talks given on items OF
general interest.

Perry's Victory on Lake Erie, Battle

One million eXpatriated Kentuck-
ians and their children, even to the
fourth and fifth generations, have
been invited to return to Louisville to
participate in the Perrys Victory Cen
tennial Celebration, to be held in that
city seven days, beginning September
20. Those particularly invited are the
descendants of Kentucky soldiers and
sailors of the War of 1872, and it is
estimated that rs per cent of native
born Kentuckians and the descendants
of those born in Kentucky in the past
century ale eligible to participate in
such a celebration. Approximately one
million people now living in other
states are included in the list of those
invited
The purpose of the Louisville cele-
bration is to commemorate not only
Perry's victory on Lake Erie but all
other events of the war of 1912. How
ever, in particular honor of Commo-

dore Perry a special attraction in the
Louisville celebration will be the re-
union of the Perry family, regardless
of kinship. Everybody by the name
of Perry" will be invited to this spe
cial entertainment and those who eX-
pect to attend are requested to notify
Edwin Perry at the Louisville head
quaEters.
The Kentucky Association, which
has in charge the Louisville celebra-
ton, has given an order for a quarter
of million ancestry certificates to be
handsomely engaved, and which will
be filled in and given away as souve-
Mrs to descendants of Kentucky sol
diers and sailors of the War of 1912.
Another entertainment in their hon
or will be a mammoth reception. at
which refreshments will be served and
opportunity provided for public ad-
dresses. For the few remaining actual
sons and daughters a banquet will be
given. A great ball will be given in
the First Regiment Armory, which has
a capacity of 10000 for them.
Forty per cent of the white male
population of Kentucky engaged in the
War of 1872, consequently forty per
cent of the succeeding generation were
really sons and daughters of that war,
and, estimating that one-half of them
intermarried with families which did
not participate in the war, sixty per
cent of the third generation were
grandchildren of the war, and in sim
liar manner at least sevenS-five per
cent and probably as high as ninety
per cent of the fourth and incoming
fifth generations are descendants Of
Kentuckians who fought in that war.
1t is estimated that in the state Of
Kentucky alone one million men, wom-
en- and children are eligible to partici-
pate in tho proposed reunion, and it
is estimated that another million now
living outside of Kentucky are eligible
to participate.
During the week of the celebration
in Louisville spectacular free events,
including features on a mammoth
scale not heretofore given with any
American celebration, will be provided
every afternoon and evening. Pilgrim
ages to notable historic scenes Of in.
terest may be made in the mornings
In addition to free attractions there
will be scores of the highest priced
amusement concessions that can be Sc
cured on the American continent
The railroads in a radius of 500
miles of Louisville have been asked
to make a rate for the celebration
week and Immediately preceding and
following that week of one cent mile.
Railroads running out Of Louisville
probably will give low rates to other
points in Kentucky, so that former
Kentuckians who live a great distance
can visit their old homes as well IS
attend the Louisville celebration.
Local committees are preparing an
1912 museum, in which they solicit the
loan of any souvenir or relic of the
War of 1912, providing the transpor-
tatiOn at their expense, and guaran-
teeing that articles loaned for the
week will be returned to owners. This
museum for the time being will un-
doubtedly be the most valuable collec-
ton in America.

Association football players will be
interested to know what the Interna-
tional board at a recent meeting de.
cided that the ball used in any i'm
portant match should be considered
the property of the association or
club on whose grounds the match is
played, and at the conclusion of play
it must be returned to the referee.
This will do away with the scramble
which sometimes takes place between
the teams at the conclusion of a game
for possession of the ball.
