LAD BROWNS in
DEVILS PUNCH BOWL

Searching parties are still dragging
the stream for the boy Of IL year old
Hillman Strong. SOP of Attorney H.
W. Strong, of the Pacific Power &
Light Co., of Portland, who was
drowned in the DEVILS Punch Bowl
Monday afternoon.
The hat of the unfortunate boy was
found Tuesday afternoon several hun
dred feet below the maelstrom in which
he was drowned. The body may have
been washed miles below the Punch
Bowl, as the river is at food stage.
Two wire nettings have been stretch
ed across the river at point just south
of the city, II miles from the scene of
the accident.
The tragedy is likely to result in
county authorities using charge of
dynamite in blowing from its precari-
Gus location the old log which for the
last so years has been spanning the
Punch Bowl, a temptation to the dar-
ing members Of outing parties. Roy
Blagg all but lost his life there two
years ago, when he fell into the whirl-
pool below the falls from very nearly
the same point from which young
Strong pitched.
The boy, with party Of other Port
land youths sent here last week in
charge of E. C. Vincent, secretary
of the Portland Y. M. C. A., had gone
to the Punch Bowl to fish and take
pictures. A porcupine was sighted on
the precipitous side of the whirlpool,
and young Strong, punching at the
animal with stick, lost his footing
and fell into the maelstrom. With his
companions helpless to aid him, the
boys body sank in the whirling waters
of the river.
Confused by the tragedy, the boys
accompanying young Strong in sending
their first messages to Hood River for
men to help in the search for the body
left the impression with local authori-
ties that the lads mother had, too,
been here harvesting strawberries.
While Mr.. and Mrs. Strong, the latter
having returned only Monday after
noon from a visit with her sons, an
elder and a younger brother of the
drowned boy also having been men,
bers of the Y. M. G. A. party, were
in town calling on friends and visiting
the picture show, City Marshal j. X.
Carson was visiting the local Gamer
les, fruit agency offices and boarding
houses.
Mr.. and Mrs. Strong did not learn of
their sons death until after 10 O'Clock
when they returned to the Cottage
Farm of Mrs. Alma Howe where they
were stopping.

MOOMAW GIVES
HOPE FOR EXPORT

A new hope for the profitable distri-
button of their smaller sized fruit
through the British export was given
local orchardists Saturday by S. B.
Moomaw, who for the past several
years has been the largest export
handler of Northwestern box apples
with headquarters in London.
81 have recently discussed the situ-
alton with British officials" says Mr..
Moomaw, "and | find none of them
opposed to American fruits. 1t is SIM
ply question of bottoms. Unless the
United States government decides to
transport troops in large numbers and
the supplies that will be necessary to
outfit them in France. | anticipate
that by the time the apple shipping
opens we will have the facilities to
handle much of the product that we
desire to export. | have taken up
with the British food administrators
and other officials the phase of the
small fruit and its tendency to glut
our domestic markets while it is most
desirable abroad. They expressly de-
sire to aid us fruit shippers and to ad-
vance the interests of one of the
Northwest's biggest industries. Fur
thermore they are desirous of getting
our apples"
Mr.. Moomaw says that recent re-
ports made by Northwestern represen-
tatives of English fruit merchants to
the effect that through license they
alone will be able to import apples the
coming autumn are without any found
alton.
'Yet," he says, 81 have found that
such INSCRIPTIONS agents are making
great capital of these untrue state
ments.
Mr.. Moomaw says that at the present
time England is going far toward sup
plying herself with vegetables and gar
den trucks. Every available grass plot,
park and lawn has been sown, in order
that such supplies might be raised at
home and shipping could be released
for staples and necessary munitions.
1--WE in London, too, says Mr.. Moo
nav, "have been on the strictest limit
in rationings. But this does not signi-
fly that anybody is going hungry, but
the steps are taken to prevent such
contingency"
Mr.. Moomaw left London May 25.
Because of the zig-zaging Of the ship
to avoid U-boats the voyage required
Is days. A big oil tanker that fol-
lowed the boat on which Mr.. Moomaw
sailed from an Irish port, where patrol
boats had required them to put in for
a night, was sunk by a submarine.

WEATHER CHANGES
SPRAYING PLANS
tBy Leroy Childs)

The present very irregular season
has made necessary the alteration of
the spraying program that was CIV
en- out by the Experiment Station
during the Spring. The approaching
hot weather practically eliminates
the use of lime-sulphur. Benefits
arising from the use of a fungicide
for the control of scab are rather
doubtful at this season of the year
owing to the fact that rains of suffic-
lent extent to cause a scab infection
seldom occur.
The backward season has infuenc-
ed the development of the codling
moth, retarding its progress so that
spraying for the control of the first
generation can be effectively applied
at much later date than normally
occurs. The moths are now egg-lay-
ing in the lower valley. The spray
should be applied in the lower eleva-
tions at once and in the higher sec
tons (Oak Grove and Willow Flat
the spray should all be on by the 5th
of July.
Growers should examine their or
chards at this time for the green and
woolly aphids. In some orchards
that have been examined the green
aphids have been observed to be
establishing colonies. The dark,
green-winged females can be found
surrounded by large numbers of
small green young on the leaves of
the growing terminals. In orchards
where these colonies are numerous
1t would be well to spray in order to
avoid the serious results that oc-
CURED in many orchards last year
on account of green aphis infesta-
tions.
The young woolly aphids are now
leaving the old colonies on the
trunks and larger limbs and are es-
tablishing themselves on the young
growing wood. They are pink when
small and can be found settling at
the bases of the leaves.
To control aphids remember that
1t is essential to drench everything,
especially the young growing ter
minals whic.. are so easily missed by
the rodmen. With no sulphur pre-
sent in the recommended formula,
the trees can be drenched with no
danger of burning.
The following formula is recon-
mended for this application:
Arsenate of Lead, Paste 400 or
Powder 2-100. Use either.
Tobacco 1-l200
Soap pounds to 100 gallons
If the tobacco is used, be sure to
add the soap as it will easily in
crease the efficiency of the combina-
tion 100 per cent

Cloud Cap Inn will Open

The Fashion Livery Co., which oper-
ates an automobile stage line between
the city and the mile high hostelry,
announces that Cloud Cap Inn will be
opened for the season next week. The
road through the national forest, how
ever, is still deep in snow, and until
late in the season the last lap of the
journey will have to be made on
sleighs, unless the drifts are shoveled
out.

serious pest in mite-free flocks by means
of new stock, the specialist suggests
these precautions: New stock not known
to be free of mites should be isolated the
first few nights and allowed to roost on
new roosts wrapped with pieces of folded
paper The object of using the paper Is
to furnish a convenient place for mites to
hide. The paper should be examined and
if the mites are found, the fowls should
be kept on these roosts five or six days,
or until no more mites come off the
fowls. Removing and destroying the
papers and treating the roosts thorough
ly with kerosene or crude oil will pre-
vent an infestation.
Methods of combating this pest as an
nounced recently in Farmers Bulletin
sol include the spraying of the roosts
and living quarters with crude petroleum
OF coal-tar products. One of the most
effective SPRAYS is so-called wood pre-
server. consisting of anthracene oil with
zinc chloride added The cost of this
spray is about 81 a gallon. but twice the
quantity may be obtained by reducing
with equal parts of Kerosene.

TRIMMING SHEEP
Nv JOSEPH NJ. CARROLL

Just before loading a drove of sheep
for market it will be found that pair
of shears come in mighty handy. Raggy
wool and torn fleeces are a detriment
to the sale of sheep, SO the owner should
have them looking as neat as possible
when offered to the buyer In small
feed lots where wire fences are used,
the fleeces very often become rather
broken and to the buyer this denotes
rather rough usage on the farm. He may
think that the flesh is bruised from
the same causes as the raggedness.
The owner should go through the
drove a few days before loading and
trim up the animals. The work requires
only a short time and when gone at in
the proper manner the heads and necks
can be trimmed, while the hind quarter
can be rounded out to show the finish of
the leg. A sheep with a poor coat of
wool never looks so bad until placed
along side of one that has good smooth
fleece. Trim up the broken fleeces and
it will be found that the time was well
spent, when better price is obtained
at the market.
The pelt is figured as one of the main

Watch for Mites

Chicken mites the night pest of poul-
try, may not always leave the fowls
before daylight, as commonly supposed,
but may remain in the feathers in such
number as to make poultry possible car
riers of this pest to uninfested places.
This fact was brought out recently by
an entomologist of the United States de-
partmcnr of agriculture in the course of
a study of the life history and habits
of the chicken mite, undertaken to dis
cover principles on which combative
measures might be based. A report of
the study, which includes much other
information of interest to poultrymen,
has just been published as Bulletin $50

by-products of the sheep by the pack
ers That is why they want good fleece
whenever possible. The wool off the
animal is worth considerable to them,
and they figure it in bringing down the
high cost of sheep, caused by the small
dressing percentage of meat. AS the
wool furnishes large part of the weight
paid for they want to get full benefit
of the price. BY devoting little time
just before loading the sheep the feeder
can trim them so as to give the animals
smarter look. They will have a far
better appearance when offered for sale.
Attractiveness is one of the main es-
sentials when it comes to selling sheep
and the owner wants all the competition
possible In this manner the best prices
are obtained. So it will be found that
the heater the sheep look when in the
selling pen the better price they will
bring, which is a larger net profit to
the feeder, and the little trick of trim
ming may add considerable to the pur-
chase price.
