NORTH TEXANS HATE WEST

Commenting on an editorial that
appeared in the Avalasche several
weeks ago about the quick recuper-
ating qualities Of West Texas The
Locknoy Beacon says:
The more you knock West Texas
more interested some people become
in this section. As we have remark
cd in these columns on other occas-
ions. West Texas has greater recup-
Grating powers than any country on
earth If the drouth that portions Of
West Texas went through had occur
red in other portions Of Texas they
would not have recovered from the
effects of same in five years 1t is
real amusing to understand these
knockers on West Texas. The years
we spent on the road we often visit

of the young girls run with the boys
recklessly and pay no particular at

likes to read and says that after read
ing what books we have she is going
buck a different girl. II suggested
the idea to me that possibly you could
give me list Of books whose theme
would help her along
Mrs. Gene Stratton Porter's books
should be an inspirational and moral
tonic for such a girl and there are
others, but the true correctional point
is way back thru childhood. This
girls character has been shaped
gradually The mischief may have
started years back. Generally it is
bad environment, the home bringing
up, or lack of it, that produces such
results. Mistaken parental indul-
gence is to blame for much Of this.
A complaining, grouchy, back-talk

section with a holy hatred that sur

TEXAS APPLE GROWING
GREATLY HAMPERED


R r Mcdonald, Chief Assistant
Entomologist Of the State Depart
ment of Agriculture. has just return
ed to this city from a trip of inspec
ton Of the apple growing sections Of
the State. He says that he finds no
insects or diseases Of the orchards
that cannot be controlled. However.
there is great lack Of knowledge on
the part of many orchardists on pro
per mears of control. The chief in
sect pest. he says, is the codling moth
He believes that on account of irreg
ular season Of Texas, the generations
Of this insect are more overlapping
than in other sections Of the United
States. making necessary, more spray
ing than is usually practioed.
He makes the following recon-
mendations:
/. That orchardists make them
selves familiar with this pest in all
its stages-egg. larva. pupa, and
adult.
2. That all loose bark, crevices
about the trees, birds nests, etc. be
cleaned up so as to destroy the hi
bernation larvae. Also mummied
apples should be burned before the
spring. All places about the orchard
and the apple bin should be searched
out for the wintering larvae in their
dirty white cocoons and the worms
destroyed now. -y
g. Just as the petals fall and the
calyx Of the blossom standest open
there should be a thorough spraying
with arsenate of lead using two
pounds to fifty gallons Of water.
This should be done thoroughly with
lots Of pressure and a fine mist
a. The spraying should be repeat
ed ten days later After this. the
trees should be sprayed every four
weeks for the rest Of the season. In
some sections these sprayings should
be oftener than four weeks; in other
sections not quite so often.
In addition to the cooling moth
there Is also a disease called bitter
rot more or less injurious l. is more
in evidence in damp weather and
mlnifests itself by small rotten
specks on the apples which soon grow
larger and taste bitter
A thorough cleaning Of the mum
mics from The orchard helps 10 pre-
vent bitter rot. To control it use
2ordeauN mixture with the arsenate
Of lead when the disease first makes
its appearance. This treatment
should be repeated rs often as neces-
sary.
Mr.. Mcdonald says that IL farmers
will learn to properly prune and care
for their orchards and apply the sim
pie remedies given. there is no rea-
son why Texas cannot become one
Of the greatest apple growing States
Of the Union. He does not contend
that all Texas soil and all Texas eli
mate is suitable for apples; but much
Of north and northwest central Tex
as is ideal for apple production.
