that he and those who went with him

He said they had fine time. They
were taken from the train to the frat
houses in which they were to stay.
On Friday afternoon they saw the
Oregon-O. A. c. track meet. The in
terscholastic meet was held on Sat
urday afternoon, 1877 athletes from
all over the state participating in the
meet. It lasted almost all day. Most

Scab.
Scab will make its temperance af-
ter this cold snap, especially on the
Newtown apple. Where it has been
found on the pears it is necessary to
apply a follow up spray, and this can
be conveniently done in combination
with the Goblin moth spray. 1t is
poor policy to omit the scab spray on
susceptible varieties where it has pre-
viously been observed, or when it is
known to be in the neighborhood.
Combination Spray.
For Goblin moth and scab use ar
senate of lead four pounds to 100 gal
Ions and lime sulphur one gallon to
forty gallons water. If desired,
atomic sulphur can be substituted for
the lime and sulphur. Where no lime
sulphur has been applied this season
the foliabe is more susceptible to
burning and in such cases 1t Is recon-
mended to use a strength Of one to
fifty. When atomic sulphur is used
ten to twelve pounds to 100 gallons
of water is the proper amount. When
deemed advisable to add nicotine sui
phate for aphis add one pint to $50
gallons of the solution. Make GER
tain that the solution is thoroughly
agitated at all times.
According to the filings of Mr.
Gentner last year, the Goblin moth is
six to ten days later in Ashland,
Sans Valley, the Antelope region and
Willow Springs. The orchardists
should be guided and time the spray

Goblin Moth Spray.

In the Bear Creek Orchard is a
screened tree kept expressly for OBJ
serving the development of the Goblin
moth. Last fall wormy apples were
gathered and placed within the cage
and now they are emerging and egg
LAYING has commenced. Because of
the large numbers of all stages of de-
velopment are found it is very easy
TO check up and get good estimate
of the average stages of egg and lar
vac and recommendation made ac-
cordingly.
On May 2 fourteen adult moths had
emerged and one egg was found. On
May 6 sixty-four adult moths had
emerged and six eggs laid. The cool
spell of the last few days checked the
egg development materially so that
none will hatch until well along next
week.
General spraying for the Goblin
moth should commence next Monday.
Some have already applied this spray
and of course this will not apply in
such cases. This is the so-called two
week spray following the calyx spray.
Some added the arsenate of lead in
the calyx spray on pears in order to
check the various leaf-eating insects.
In such cases this spray should also
be applied at this time as there has
been considerable growth since then.
1t is very important that this spray
be applied at the proper time in or
der to prevent the larvae from enter
ing the fruit. Other insects liable
to give trouble, such as the pear slug,
caterpillar, green fruit worms, and
several bugs, will be checked by this
spraying. Where the aphis are ex-
