maintenance CHARGES NOT
TO BE LESSENED THIS YEAR
Secretary Coe of District Irrigation
Advised BY Director of
Irrevocability

= The matter of maintenance charg-
es on the Newlands project is one of
the utmost concern by reason of the
fact that this form of cost has en-
1oyed an uninterrupted and more or
less rapid growth from the time It
was first invoked. 1t had been hoped
that the stage of maturity had been
reached with last year, but alas and
alack, Director A. p Davis has added
another joint to its already elongat-
ed yertebrae, despite the fact that
the project management and the di-
rectors of the Truckee-Carson irri-
CATION district united in the request
that no raise should be inflicted dur
Ing the present season over the rates
in effect last season.
AS proof that Director Davis re-
fuses to recant the following letter

My dear Sir:-In considering the
schedule of charges for operation

project during the coming season,
very careful consideration was given
to the recommendation OF the Boa rd
Of Directors of the District that the
charges be made the same as the
previous year
am sorry to say. however, that
his recommendation could rot be
followed because the Reclamation
Extension Act, In Section 5. requires
that the charges be fixed at sufficient
7mount 10 repay the actual cost OF
operation and maintenance. and II
has been demonstrated that the
charges OF last year were insufficient
TO accomplish this The law on this
subject is mandatory. and | have no
discretion in the premises except
such as is involved in the determine
ton of the cost and the returns
greatly regret my inability to
meet the views of the Directors in
this matter not only because of my
natural desire to comply with their
wishes but because I appreciate the
difficulties that many Of the water
users will have In meeting the pay
ments required: but. as indicated
above, I have no choice IN the mat
ter.
I hope you will have the kindness
TO explain the situation to all water

Banking a Community Service

One of the net products of the
war was the demonstration that
banks are the strongest factor in
community service.
In most cases the banks became
the headquarters in the Liberty Loan
drives and met the increased demand
generously.
In nearly every city when called
upon they put in additional desks
and hired increased force to do the
work necessary.
The bank is the keystone in the
arch CT community service and IS
the strongest asset for community
spirit.
Banks are extending the commun-
ity service idea to the country and
are leading and specializing to pro-
duce farm prosperity.
Many differences between capital
and labor are smoothed away by a
better understanding of all factors of
the problem.
So the old idea of bank being
hostile to the interests of the pro-
ducers is being changed into mutual
helpfulness.
There is no reason why there
should not be the fullest cooperation
between any honest well-meaning
citizen and the local bank.

SPRAYING APPLE TREES
FOR CODDLING MOTH

One and one-half pounds of powd-
cred arsenate of lead, or three
pounds of the paste dissolved in SO
gallons OF water, and sprayed with a
pressure sprayer well into the bios

about all OF the petals have fallen.

which is Matched during blooming
season finds its way to the calyx cup
of the young fruit before the calyx
cup closes. and from there eats its
way into the growing fruit where it
begins its damaging work on the ap-
pie crop. The object of the lead
arsenate spraying is to fill the calyx
cups with the poison to destroy the
moth worm. Unless this is accom-
plished the spraying is practically
useless.
DO Not Spray Too Early
Lead arsenate spray used too early
during the blooming period will

beneficial. Ten days after the petals
begin to fall is a safe time for the
first spraying, and ten to twelve days
later is a good time for the second
spraying. An earlier time for the
first spraying will inhibit the polloni-
zation of the fruit blossoms, and will
also destroy bees and other insect
life that are active in blossoms and
which are an important means of
pollonization.
If an earlier spray is desired, the
lime sulphur spray may be applied
befoer the buds open.
Spraying will be more complete
when done with a pressure spray,
using 150 pounds of pressure. A
hand pump will do for small orch
ard. although a larger spray machine
is desirable when spraying more
than a few trees The spray hose
will need to be at least ten or fifteen
feet long and strong enough to hold
the pressure. A spray rod of ten
feet is commonly used. fitted in a
bamboo handle. To this is attached
a As degree angle, and a spray drip
ring to prevent the spray from run
ming down the handle. The nozzle
should be one that will throw a spray
at least five feet before breaking into
a mist.
With this equipment the spray can
be applied from step ladder with
the idea in mind of filing the calyx
cups with the poison. To do this 1t
will be necessary to force the spray
on the limbs from the sides, above
and below. The benefit which will
result from this spraying will depend
almost entirely upon the care used
In forcing the poison into the open
calyg cups.
A second spray is often necessary,
because all OF the blossoms do not
fall at the same time, and the first
spray will not always be sufficient for
the late blossoms.
There are other methods of con-
trolling the coddling moth, and will
be taken UP later in the season.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT HAS
SUCCESS IN TAHOE MATTER


Consistent efforts on the part of
Project Manager John F. Richard
son and Il. M. Patrick. project coun-
sci, directed at the solution of the
Lake Tahoe problems as they affect
this project, have been productive of
splendid results during late days.
Both officials spent several days in
the Reno vicinity last week where
they were uniformly successful in
effecting adjustments in manner
satisfactory to all parties concerned
They spoke in a highly appreciative
vein of the spirit manifested by
the Nevada owners of Tahoe and
Truckee river rights, which is one of
solicitude for the further and maxi
mum development of the Newlands
project, q contingency possible only
with the fullest utilization of the
surplus waters of the Lake Tahoe
watershed.
Mr.. Patrick returned to Reno yes
terday for further work and he will
go from there to Sacramento and on
to San Francisco in the pursuance
of the work of adjusting the Lake
Tahoe matter. The recent acqui-
escence of 27 San Francisco owners
of Lake Tahoe water rights to the
governments plan for control of the
lakes waters, seems to have marked
the end of a long and obstinate con-
troversy.
