reasonable grade and pack rules and
the stablizing Of the Northwest pro-
duct.
Mr.. Swigart was asked if the as
ISOLATION would launch campaign for
membership. He replied in the neg
alive, stating that the need of organi-
cation was so generally recognized by
alfgrowers, shippers and business men
that further missionary work seemed
unnecessary. The grower is fully in
formed. 1t is up to him to decide.
Heretofore the association has spent
much of its energy in spreading this
gospel. This year it will spend its en-
tire efforts in eliminating all lost mo-
ton in its machinery and demonstrate
that it has the most efficient and eco
nomical marketing agency in this val
ley. Mr.. Swigart's long experience as
supervising engineer Of the govern
ment irrigation projects fits him adj
mirably for this work.

THE TWIN CITIES
: SINKS NEAR PORTLAND
Steamer Strikes Log While on
Way to Union Stock Yards
at North Portland

/
Steamer Twin Cities which operates
between this city and Portland, was
sunk last Saturday night in slough
near Portland. Steamer j. N. Teal
has been put on the run until Steamer
Inland Empire can be inspected and
put into commission.
The story of the steamers sinking
is told by the Portland Telegram as
follows:
With .hemlock log two feet in d.
ameter penetrating her port bow and
forward deck for a distance Of seven
or eight feet, the steamer Twin Cities
half submerged, is lying on the south
shore Of the Oregon slough, now Of
ficially known as North Portland har-
Dor, about one and half miles above
the mouth Of that stream.
While ascending the slough Satur-
day night the steamer ran into the
log which had escaped from raft.
Under the surface it drifted down be-
low and lodged in the channel. The
steamer struck it about 9:45 p. m.
and a gaping hole was torn in her
hull. Water poured into her in great
volumes, when Captain Lundy changed
her course and drove her on the beach.
The Twin Cities carried 10 passen-
gers and a cargo Of wheat and hogs.
She was running from Lewiston and
Kennewick and the livestock was for
delivery at the Union stockyards. The
steamer was en- route up there to at,
tend to this task before coming to
Portland when she met with the ac-
cident. The hogs were transferred
to the Gamecock and sent to their
destination.
Much Of the wheat is supposed to
be badly damaged. There are 1850
sacks in the lot. The grain was in
sured with the firm of Pettis-Gross-
mayer & Co., but there is no insur-
ance on the steamer.
A contract was let this morning to
the Moody House Moving company
for raising the steamer. Scows Of the
Diamond o company also will be used
in getting the craft up and in shape to
take to repair yards. Charles E. Steel
smith, traffic manager Of The Dalles-
Columbia Line, owner Of the steamer,
says the contractor expects to have her
raised in two or three days.

THEHOME GARDEN

Powdery mildew, the wost fungus
disease of roses and one which ap-
pears early in the spring, should be
watched for by all who treasure large
or small gardens, according to DR..
John w. Hotson, Of the botany depart
ment of the University of Washing
ton. It usually appears shortly after
the leaves come out, and if not COM
.batted at this time will be very diff
cult to control.
"The best treatment for powdery
mildew is spray" DR.. Hotson says.
eft should be remembered, however,
that spraying is not a cure for dis
ease but merely prevents its spread.
This is true Of practically all sprays.
They are preventive, not curative.
When the disease once gets into the
leaf there is no spray that can kill it
without killing the leaf. Hence the
necessity of putting on spray as
soon as the disease appears, or, better
still, before it appears.
Easily Detected
"Some roses like the Killarney, the
Crimson Rambler and Margaret Dick
son, are especially susceptible. The
disease is readily detected by the
white, powdery material on the leaves
especially on the under side. Later in
the year it appears on the stems also"
Professor Hotson suggests several
sprays which may be used.
az Bordeaux mixture, about &C..
so GILL 1-3) applied as a dormant
spray in March or April before the
leaves come out and then repeated af-
ter the leaves are out with a 4-4-50
Q-1-12s) solution. Do not use this
spray after the buds begin to burst
as it spoils the flowers and discolors
the foliage.
Time for Dormant Spray
(2) Lime sulphur may be used in q
similar way, strong dormant spray
being applied in March or April. The
directions for dilution go along with
the bottles of this mixture, which you
may get from any seed store. For a
winter spray it is usually diluted to
about ten times, for summer spray
10 or 16 times, according to the
strength of the solution.
(3) Potassium sulphide is some
times used, one ounce to three or -four
gallons of warm water in early spring
and one ounce to two gallons during
the summer. An ounce of common
Ivory soap added to this solution some
times aids it in sticking to the leaf.

SWIGART TALKS OF
MARKETING PLAN
Manager of Yakima Valley As
socnation Strong Advocate
Of Government System

That the government marketing
plan has strong friend in. Chas. H.
Swigart, manager of the Yakima Val
ley Fruit Growers association, was
made clear by his talk at the CONNER
cial club rooms last Saturday evening.
This was Mr.. Swigart's first official
visit to Kennewick and he explained
to his hearers that he was not a pub
lie speaker; that he could not make a
speech, that the best he could do was
to ''talk," but he was not long in con-
vincing the audience that he knew
what he was talking about.
The good that will come. to the
Northwest from the governments ac-
tivity in working out plan to solve
some of the troubles in marketing the
ever increasing tonnage of fruit will
depend wholly on how extensively the
growers will make use of the machin-
cry provided. The government has
constructed the machine and placed it
at the disposal of the growers. It is
only by its use that benefits will re-
suit. Like an automobile left at your
door, if you refuse to get in and ride
it is not going to take you anywhere.
It matters little how perfectly the plan
has been worked out unless it is put to
practical use by the growers it will
not bring results. The Growers coun-
Gil Of last year failed in its purpose,
not because it was not approved by
the growers and was not a good move,
but because they failed to give it
practical support.
Mr.. Swigart believes that this plan
holds out the greatest hope for the So
luton of this difficult marketing prob
lem, as it not only unites the growers
from competing with each other but in
that it unites the various marketing
agencies and will to a large extent
eliminate the cut-throat practices that
have prevailed in the past. He strong
~ advised every grower to market
thru some branch of the agency.
The strong points in the government
plan is government supervision, uni
form accounting and accounts to be
audited by non-interested public ac-
countants, thus assuring reliability and
true comparison of the efficiency of

RECEIVER NAMED
n FOR alfalfa CO.
Petition Sets Forth that Assets
Are Being Dissipated and
Project Neglected

Former Mayor A. j. ellis, Of Walla
Walla, was named temporary receiver
for the Alfalfa Land company, by
Judge E. C. Mills, Of Walla Walla, last
Friday. March 81 was set as tho date
of hearing to determine whether the
appointment is to be made permanent.
Thsreceivership proceedings nearly
developed into race between the Fred
B. Grinnell company, of Spokane, and
the Columbia Canal company, Of Wal
Ia Walla, to see who could get the re-
ceiver appointed first. The Spokane
company applied in Judge Stanley
Webster's court and the Walla Waila
company in Judge Mills court.
The petition claims that the assets
exceed the liabilities but claims they
are being dissipated and that proper
ty owners under the project will suffer
unless the court steps in.
1t is charged that the company is
in desperate condition and unable to
obtain credit.
1t is charged that the company has
failed to take steps for the repair and
opening of the irrigating canal and
the various fumes comprising the ir-
rigation system on the Alfalfa project;
that no steps have been taken to main.

ing plant has not been overhauled anG

less immediate action is taken great

suit.
Landowners at Alfalfa have beer
complaining for some time that they
were not getting water enough to ir
rigated their lands.
The Alfalfa project has been on thu
market for number of years anC
many improvements have been made
there.

PAT PAGE TAKES A LEAF FROM
PERCY HAUGHTONS BOOK

BY Mark Shields
The football game between Mr.,
Stages Maroons and Minnesota on
the Midway Saturday is being well
advertised and we are told that only
1000 seats remain, these being in the
temporary stands and boxes to be
erected before the game.
Grads of the two schools are nat
uraIIy interested in the affair, but it
sounds very much like battle be-
tween the old Cub machine and Con-
ME Mack's present aggregation. The
interest of the outsider centers on
how good the better team is.
Rain has hampered practice of the
Maroons and Stage has been forced
to ease off in training his players.
The Chicago lineup will probably be
the same that started the Illinois
game, and Minnesota will have the
best eleven it has sent to the gTidiron
this fall.
All of which makes it a question of
how small a score the Gophers can
be held to.
Pat Page, assistant coach of ths
Maroons, has evidently been reading
of Percy HaUghton. Pat is out with
a statement pooh-poOhing the claims
of Northwestern and. Ohio to the
Conference title. He says the Purple
can thank Coach Stage for its pres
tige, because Stage looked on the
early game with Northwestern mere
~ as a practice affair and was pre-
pairing for the big games of the
schedule. Northwestern, on the
other hand, says Pat, was putting
everything into that game. .s
This line of argument is extremely
popular among football coaches
whose teams have been whipped by
smaller opponent. In no other line
of sport does it go. Bill CaTTigan of
the Red Sox would be laughed at if
he attempted to explain away in such
q manner a fpEiOo at fhe hands Of

Maybe Pat will also refer to the
game with Wisconsin as a practice"
affair. Carleton was also a ''prac-
tice" game. And gosh! Look at the
swell practice" game the MarOons
are going to have with the GOphers
day after tomorrow.
Pat wants Saturdays game called
championship affair for Minnesota.
Press ACCENTED thus, it might mean
a larger crowd. But he. is talking
considerably to the "Haughton" and
it doesn't set well.
Maybe Minnesota would beat Ohio
and Northwestern. Maybe. But it
is the fault of neither team that it is
not on the Gopher schedule. North
western beat the MarOOns, who beat
Illinois, who beat Minnesota. Ohio
beat Wisconsin, which beat Chicago,
which beat Illinois, which Minnesota.
On the comparative game basis,
which is the way Conference titles
have been awarded in the past,
when the so-ca1ed "big" teams were
concerned, Saturdays scrap between
Northwestern and Ohio is for the
Conference title.
Some of the "big" fellows can't
realize that the smaller fry are grow
ing up.
Coach Murphy of Northwestern
doesn't. like the rain. It hampers
him in preparing his fleet backfield
for it's crucial test against Ohio Sat-
urday. Speed is the greatest asset
of the Evanston athletes, and a wet,
slow field at Columbus will be
against them.
Formations, are being taught the
Purple warriors through blackboard
talks. At least, Murphy will not
have to worry about the condition of
his men, for none of them can be
hurt in scrimmage practice between
now and Saturday.
Harvard and Yale have finished
field work for their game Saturday

SEVERE LOSS BY LEAF CURL

II has been estimated that leaf cur

The most familiar aspect OF the dis

When the diseasesfirst becomes appar-

are usually of light red or pink color.
The affected leaves gradually turn yell

be nearly defoliated, thus making it
necessary to develop an entire second

upon the vigor and reserve energy of

The discovery by the Conservative
Commission that the greater part of
the oysters along the western shore
of the Chesapeake Bay have been
killed, has caused a sensation among
those who are in the oyster business,
as well as consumers of this greatest
product of the bay. From conserva-
tive estimate, based on what the Con-
sentative Commission has found by
actual examination, it is said that at
least two-thirds of the catch on the
western shore is dead.
