TT rs not necessary that one know all
about all the many different kinds
j of sprays, commercial and home
made, or that one be scientific
expert in entomology and plant path
ology in order to wage successful
warfare against the hosts of orchard
and garden pests which marshal their
forces in the springtime. If one un-
derstands the usefulness of three or
four of the standard sprays, gets good
pump, and goes to work with deter
mination to do the thing thoroughly,
the odds are all against the pests.
But first, Of course, it is understood
that spraying is not an absolute cure
all for every i'll that trees are heir to.
Many diseases and some insects as
well cannot be reached in this way.
Most of the more important ones can
be held in check SO, however, If the
application is made at the right time.
And sprays that are good for one diff
Guilty may have no effect whatever in
the control Of another, even if used at
the proper time, just as the right spray
will do no good if used at the wrong
time Of year.
Know the pests rife in your particu-
lar neighborhood and those to which
the crop you are trying to grow is par
ticularly prone, and then learn the
sprays that are best adapted to their
control, and the use of them.
Glasses Of Pests
Most Of the insect pests may be d.
vided roughly into two classes, those
that chew and those that suck. To
overcome the former a poison applica-
tion must be used-something they will
swallow-while for the others spray
must be used which will kill by direct
contact with their bodies.
For the codling moth, for instance
Zone of the "chewers the usual
poison is arsenate Of lead, and many
reasonably pure commercial brands are
to be had on the market. These, how
ever, may be divided into two classes,
for general purposes,-The acid arse
mates and the neutral, or normal arse
mates. It seems better, from expert
ment, to use the neutral rather than
the acid arsenates with lime-sulphur
spray. Usually the directions given
say three pounds of the arsenate of
lead to so gallons Of water, but in dry
climates, such as that in eastern Ore
gon, equally good results are obtained
in spraying for codling moth when but

Poet Joaquin
Passes Away
Writer Who Immortalized the
Sierras Comes to the End
of His Life

" INCINNATUS HEINE MILLER,
known to fame as Joaquin
Miller, the "Poet of the
Sierras,' is dead. He died as
he had lived, in the romance of the
west, his last days being spent in
cabin in the mountains. He was dis
tinctly a product Of the Pacific Dor
der, only 10 years of his boyhood hav-
ing been spent east of the Rockies His
passion was the mountain land; he
lived in it and Of it, sang of it, made
it stand out in stencil boldness in
weird tales.
He was born in 184l in Indiana and
in 1850 came to Oregon with his ia
Their. He attended school for while
and at the age of 16 was a miner in
Shasta county, California. He was in
battle with the Indians at Castle
craig and was wounded twice. After
ward he lived three years with the In
dams. Later he went back to Oregon,
attending school at Eugene. He stud
led law and was elected judge in
Grant county. While ON the bench, he
published a book, "Joaquin ct AL. /"
In 1870 he left Oregon, going to San
Francisco, and, finally, to London,
where he produced his "Songs of the
Sierras." From 1870 to 1880 he wrote
and published his "Songs of Italy,
wrote the play, "Danites, Forty Nine, /"
the prose book, "Unwritten History,
or Life among the Modoc Indians, I"
and a novel, "The Destruction of
Gotham From 1880 to 1890 he wrote
"Songs of the Mexican Seas" and
Building the City Beautiful. In
1883 he went back to San Francisco,
associating himself with Herr Wagner,
then editor of the Golden Era maya
zine. He bought hundred acres on
the hills above Oakland, where he built
small cabin, planted thousands of
trees and made his permanent home.
From 1894 to 1905 Joaquin Miller was
on the lecture platform, with the excep-
tion Of one year, 1897, when he went
to the Klondike and made a remark
able trip Of 400 miles by foot. In 1909
he published his complete poems.

To Be Better
Surgeon Aids
Operating Knife Is Called on to
Straighten Out Crooked
Minds and Bodies

r INDER the hot sun of the south,
many man has been trans
lated through the knife and
under the steelcold stars OF
the north has the knife served the
murderer Is will. But now, instead of
sending him hurriedly through the
pearly gates, the knife is being made
to serve to make man good on this
earth That is to say that the scalpel
of the surgeon is now recognized as an
agent of morality, as an accessory in
sciences new process of making men
better as well as more healthy. You
all know the bad boy, the incorrigible
youth, the lad who will not learn in
school and who cannot be controlled
by parents or teachers. 1t is no
longer the fashion to consider the case
of boy like this as being hopeless, as
problem for punitive measures, but
it is the fashion to find out what phys
zeal imperfection is causing this mental
and moral delinquency. So, the sur
geon is appealed to and through him
is restored the balance that means san
ity, intelligence, decency.
Men who know say that the boy
who is bad is usually suffering from the
result of some childhood injury, some
accident seemingly SO unimportant at
the time of its happening that it
marked no date on the calendar of
baby life. The child may have in
iured his head in some manner. APP
parently, this injury has had no effect;

a third as much arsenate is used. If
gus pests with one spray, the arsenate
of lead may be combined with Bor
deaux or lime sulphur solution as
though the latter were water.
Kerosene (coal oil, as it is commonly
known) is a very powerful weapon
against the sucking insects, but if used
undiluted will cause serious injury to
the plants BY making an emulsion
(soap is usually used) it can be diluted
with water easily, the common combi-
nation being two gallons of the oil to
a gallon of water and about half
pound Of soap. Whale-oil soap is best,
but others may be used.
To make such an emulsion the soap
should be dissolved in the water by
boiling it, and then added, while still
boiling, to the oil. A spray pump is
the easiest and most thorough method
of churning the mixture into the proper
consistency, thick, creamy mass on
which the oil will not rise, even when
left standing some time. 1t may be
used at once or kept in stock, as one
chooses. Eight or ten parts of water
to one of the emulsion is the right d.
luton for the final spray solution. For
green aphis, woolly aphis, red spiders,
mealy bugs and some scale insects this
is good remedy.
Some Of the sucking insects "just
can It stand tobacco and in that they
resemble the elephant and the monkey.
Therefore "black-leaf'' and "black-
leaf 4Oo are too well known insecti-
cides for use on the plant lice, leaf
hoppers, apple tingis and others. The
former is used with six times as much
water or lime-sulphur. The latter,
however, is extremely concentrated,
and as such is considered much cheaper.
1t is used with 500 times as much water
or lines sulphur mixture.
The part of fungus pests which alb
serbs the food materials for their
growth develops under the surface It's
sues of the fruit or leaf, and thus can
not be reached by fungicides. Spray
ing is, therefore, preventive rather
than cure, the object being to destroy
the activity of the germ before it pen
etrates the surface.
By combining the sprays for insect
and fungus pests often it is possible
to save time, money, and annoyance.
Apple scab and cooling moth, for in
stance, are often controlled with sin
gle spray mixture, a combination of
Paris green or arsenate Of lead with
the Bordeaux spray. Scale insects,
plant lice and other sucking pests,
however, are not touched by this COM
bination.
Lime Sulphur

proper dilution, either for winter or

spray may be applied in the spring to
peach trees as preventive Of the
peach leaf curl, and it will also be
likely to kill off the alternating lar
vac of the bud moth.
