BEWARE OF THE COOLING
MOTH
Horticultural Inspector Warns
Orchardists to be on Guard
for Apple Pests.

State horticultural Inspector Guy
Graham has sent out a warning 10
fruit growers that the codling moth
larvae is prevalent and advises them
to be on their guard for their appear
ance. He says:
Il wish to advise the fruit growers
Of the state that the codling moth lar
vac has made its appearance in sew
eral Of the orchards Of south idaho.
In orchards where apples matured
last season worms are quite numer-
Gus. In sections where there were
absolutely no apples I have not been
able 10 find q single worm. On ac-
count Of these varying conditions It
is difficult 10 advise the growers in
a general way and I viii have to leave
it largely 70 the grower himself TO
make his own Investigations. In all
orchards where worms have made
their appearance It viii certainly be
advisable to apply an arsenate Of
lead spray between the 1st and 10th
Of August as this is the time the
second brood should begin 10 make
its appearance.
IF upon thorough investigation no
sign of worms can be found I de- not
deem it necessary to apply the August
spray. If at any time in the month
Of August however, the worms 1ei5in
to make their appearance do not lose
any time in getting your spray out
fit into the field as a good cover spray
late in the season may mean the
the saving Of many boxes Of fruit.
Those who failed TO apply the calyX
spray at the proper time will not be
able TO keep all worms out as
portion Of the second brood would
enter the calyx % the apple.
"The fruit crop Is in excellent con-
dition to date, although some apple
orchards have not had sufficient ir-
rigation which viii result in under
sized fruit.
''The cherry shipments are over and
apricots in the Emmett section are
now moving. Peaches viii move in
car loads about the last Of August
Peaches are only about so per cent
Of a full crop, but viii be of fine
quality.
while It is early to make a pre- +
diction as TO prices fruit will bring
this fall, indications are for good
prices for all fruits.
"On account Of a probable car short
age apple growers should provide TEN
Dorary storage for at least portion
If their crop"

Spook in House.

During Tuesday night, II. T. Davis
was awakened by peculiar and un-
usual noises in the kitchen. There
was rap-a-tap-tap that sounded un-
canny in the stiffness Of the night as
if spooks, hobgoblins, ghosts and
spirits were holding Mary Jane or
a John Henry meeting. When H. T.
got up to investigate he found that
a mouse, caught in trap by the tail,
had crawled in under the door between
the kitchen and dining room-the
mouse on one side Of the door and
the trap on the other, with the tail
as the connecting link. When the
mouse pulled in his efforts TO escape,
went the trap against
the door. Hence Mr. Davis belief
that spooks were around.
