STATION REPRESENTA-
TIVES DISCUSS PESTS

Discussing the control of diseases
and pests of the orchards of the valley,
}. K. Winston, of the experiment sta
tion, says: Because but little scab
has appeared in the valley growers are
prone not to apply the calyx lime-sul-
phur spray. This is not safe. Ii should
be remembered that in 1913 but very
little Of the scab made its appearance
until IN June. A good deal of scab has
been putting in its appearance in the
last few days, and those who are afraid
of lime-sulphur should certainly use
| atomic sulphur rather than nothing.
However, the fungicidal and burning
qualities of the latter have not been
fully determined under Hood River con-
ditlons, and people who use it should
expect some injury to be on the safe
side.
"Since fire blight has appeared in
the valley the past few years, growers
| should be on their guard against it.
Fire blight is easily scattered during
the period of pollenization by insects.
The disease has been found to be more
or less serious over in the Dufur dis
trict.
I'VE have found that all prepared ar
senates of lead offered for sale on the
local markets, when combined with
lme-sulphur, will discolor the solution.
! The paste forms of the lead give more
discoloration than the powder but hold
in suspension better"
Leroy Childs says: "In view of the
fact that the strawberry industry is an
important one in the Hood River valley
growers should be on their guard
| against two serious insect pests, both
of them beetles, but neither Of which
has ever caused any damage here. One
Of the heetles feeds on both roots and
foliage of the plants. One of the bee
ties is in the form of grub, appearing
as a soft bodied, almost white worm.
The smaller beetle feeds in the bloom
of the berry, preventing the formation
of the berry. Care should be takenin
importing plants to watch for these
pests, and all packing material and ad-
herring soil should be removed and de-
| stroyed. If either of the pests are sus-
pected, representatives of the expert
ment station will be glad to answer
calls and make Investigations.
''We have had frequent inquiries as
to the control of the currant maggot.
At present no satisfactory solution has
been work q out The soil around the
plants should be kept well worked un-
til fruit is ripening. The fly which
causes this damage is about the size of
the ordinary house fly with brown spot
ted wings. Owing to the fact that the
eggs are laid in the fruit the applica-
ton of poison to surface will be use
less. A sweetened bait, for destruction
of adult flies, has been suggested. This
should be applied at intervals of three
or four days until fruit is ripe. The
poison consists of three pounds of su-
gar, four ounces of arsenate of lead
and five gallons of water. The remov-
al Of all uncultivaetd gooseberry and
currant bushes will help to keep the
pest under contorI "

The officers and directors of the Fruit
Growers Exchange earnestly urge every grower

up with any shipping organization, to register
his name and address at the office of the Fruit
Growers Exchange, First National Bank Build

This registration will not carry any obi
CATION whatsoever. 1t is conceded everywhere
by everyone that organization of individual
growers into unions, is absolutely necessary in
order to carry out cooperative plans, and get
results In practically all districts, there are at
least two strong local organizations. This con-
dtion is wholesome. Human nature demands
an alternative.
Dignified rivalry between two local or
CARNATIONS, each striving to exceed the other
in serving the grower, is natural and whole

the grower can base intelligent judgment as to
his patronage

There will be no secrets, no mystery,
and the affairs of the Exchange will be conduct

derstand at all times exactly what the Ex-

BELASCO

The Things That Count" which will
be presented under the MANAGEMENT of
William A. Brady at the Belasco The
ater this week. had a run of over eight
months at the Playhouse, in New York
city, last season.
The Things That Count" is a play
that concerns itself neither with the
problems of the hour nor the perplexi-
ties OF tomorrow. but employs charac-
ters natural and familiar to eyery one.
The main interest attaches to an old
couple well past the meridian of life.
Affecting a deep interest in love and
charity, and associated with a char
tered organization of benevolent society,
they are none too familiar with these
virtues when encountered outside of
the abstract. The love thread of the
play Is carried by young actress. left
destitute by her husbands death, and
young physician. who was the hus-
bands best friend. Throughout the
three acts there is a hint of Christmas
and the spirit that goes with tinseled
FIR trees and holly.

"The Bird of Paradise" "

'The Bird of Paradise" is to be pre-
sented again at the Belasco Theater
next week. 1t is a western production
with an eastern success. The author,
Richard Walton Tully, is a graduate of
the University of California. The pro-
ducer. Oliver Morosco. is the western
genius who has taken New York by
storm with his impressive plays and
casts during the past two seasons; the
story of the play itself concerns
Hawaii, and the actors, without ex-
ception. are either western born or won
their laurels in the west.
Paul Wilson, a sterling young
American physician, falls in love with
a native Hawaiian girl, named Luana,
endowed with all the charm of an ex-
ceptional member of her sex, whether
reared in London OF Tahiti, but be-
meath her brown skin she is essen
TALLY and always an untamed, pa
thetio savage. The emotions which
this primitiveness engenders and the
interplay of love and hate and regret
which ensues, formulate the web of one
of the strongest plays of recent years.
Miss Lenore Ulrich as Luana, William
Desmond as DR.. Paul Wilson and Rob-
ert Morris, David Landau, the original
Hawaiian hula dancers and others of
the large cast are promised here in
