SCAB SPRAY FOR

EhhS AM it'I'IIIT
With favorable weather condi.
ton pears in many parts of the
valley will be in the proper stage
for what is known as the "Pink
Scab Spray55 about the last OF
this week. But most of the spray
ing should be done during the
week of April to 10. Anjou and
Howell pears will in all prObabil-
ity be ready before the other va
rieties.
This spraying should be de
layed as late as possible and still
get the spray on before the bios
som opens. The ideal stage for
this scab spray is when the buds
in the fruit cluster have separat-
ed, so that the stems of the fruit
buds are exposed, so that this
can be coated with spray.
1t will not do any harm if the
spray is applied when one or two
of the buds are open in each clus-
ter.
Apple scab spraying will be a lit
tie later than the pears, and in
sections where scab was last year
on either apples or pears, spe-
cial effort should be made to
make this application at the prop
er time.
For pears use liquid lime and
one gallon to thirty-fiye
gallons of water. Dry lime and
sulphur three to four pounds to
fifty gallons of water. To make
the spray more effective use two
gallons of oil mulsion to two hun
ired gallon tank.
For apples use liquid lime and
sulphur one to twenty. Dry lime
and sulphur four to five pounds
10 fifty gallons Of water

USED By
CONSTABULARY

Everybody has heard Of the
Pennsylvania State constabulary.
The deeds of this wonderfully
disciplined body of men in deal
ing with lawlessness in indiyid-
ual cases rank with exploits Of
the Northwest mounted police.
Heretofore they have been mount
ed on hOrses-but this is chang
ing because Of the modern de-
mand for speed. Pennsylvania
has just purchased 10 Goodyear
equipped Harley-Dayidson motor
cycles for these constables, to use
in riot duty and to make speed
in getting to the scene of crimes.
After the men have been trained
in their use by experts of both
companies, it is expected by off
cials that the efficiency of the
force will be greatly increased.

When it came to taking a
standing vote on some detail Of
the Commercial Club expansion
at the public meeting held last
night it was found impossible.
About twO-thirds of the crowd
was already standing. 1t was a
good turnout of interested and
enthusiastic citizens. The vari-
Gus details of the club expansion
plans were taken up one at a
time, thoroughly discussed and
decided. Throughout the meet
ing a spirit of good-natured and
yet earnest cooperation prevailed
which augurs well for the success
of the campaign. The campaign
headquarters was hardly large
enough, and did not contain
enough chairs to care for the
crowd, but nobody minded. The
standing votes were disposed OF
when it was discovered that an
almost unanimous opinion existed
on practically all of the points
brought up. Details of the plan
we're decided upon as follows:
Membership Dues.
Dues will be S12 a year, it be-
ing decided that more members
could be gained at this rate and
that those who were willing and
able to pay more should be given
an opportunity to subscribe to the
budget.
Memberships will be signed fol-
o three-year period with the pro
vision in the application that
death or removal from the city
annuls the membership. Presi-
dent Ferguson explained that Of
coure in case of serious financial
reyerses or other such unforeseen
incidents, the club would natural
ly relieve the member from his
Dues in the past have been S12
with a discount allowed off quar-
terly payments in advance. This
discount will not be allowed here
after. Collections will be made
a year in advance where possible,
semi-annually or quar-
terly in order to free the secre-
tary from the frequent collection

sed upon by the membership.
The budget committee. after
the program of work is formed,
will set an amount for the bud
get, prO-rata it among tie firms
and individuals from which It
will be raised, and form an or
ganizatiOn for soliciting the bud
get insofar as firms are con
cerned They will also solicit the
members of the firms for mem
berships at the same time.

SERVICE GIVEN
. BY COUNTY AGENT

Jackson county was the first in
the state to secure the services OF
full time man qualified to give
assistance to the agricultural in
terests of the county and direct
efforts to make agricultural pur-
suits more profitable.
This county has been noted for
many years for the extensive pear
acreage it contains and for the
high quality of the fruit grown.
As the industry developed the
menace of fruit disease and pests
multiplied until in 1911 the coun-
ty horticultural society determin-
ed to make an effort to secure the
services Of DR., j. p. O'Gara, then
working in the county for the de-
partment of agriculture. The So
ciety was successful in this and
DR.. O'Gara opened an office in
! Medford in January, 1911, with
the title of county pathologist
Thus began the work that C. C.
Cate is now carrying on, succeed
ing years having seen the expan-
sion of the service until it en-
braced all the agricultural inter
ests in the county. The activities
OF the office being designated as
county agricultural agent work.
Mr.. Cate began his work on De-
cember /, 1915. Since that time
the services he has rendered the
fruit industry of the county have .
been extensive. Blight control, /
spraying and pruning demonstra-
tiOns, pear ripening and storage
Investigations conducted in CO.
operation with the horticultural
department Of the Oregon Agri-
cultural college, and fruit inspec-
ton work have been given atten-
ton. At one time as many as
IS fruit inspectors were employed
BY the county. Under the plan
whereby Mr.. Cate superyises the
inspection work the force of in
spectors has been reduced to
three.
In cooperation with the wealth
er bureau Mr.. Gates office each
spring makes available during
the frost season a service where
by Orchardists are informed re-
garding probable frOsts and as to
whether or not the temperature
is apt to require artificial orchard
heating. Cooling moth in most
years is a serious pest in the
Rogue River valley. In connec-
tion with codling moth control
Mr.. Cate each year maintains sew
eral cages in different sections of
the valley, in each OF which hun
dreds of codling moths are i'm
prisoned and time of emergence
is observed. BY means Of these
he is able to forecast accurately
the proper times to apply cooling
moth sprays, and this information
is made known to orchardists
who are guided accordingly in
their spraying.
Early in 1919 the Jackson coun-
ty farm bureau was organized
through the efforts of interested
farmers cooperating with County
Agent Cate. One Of the first
pieces of work undertaken by the
bureau was a countrywide squir
rel poisoning campaign. Under
the direction of Mr. Cate a little
more than three tons of poisoned
barley was mixed according to the
formula recommended by the W.
S. Biological survey Approx
mately 100 farmers co-operated
in distributing this poison and
about $4,000 acres were covered.
A QUESTIONABLE answered by 62
farmers indicated tLat the saving
to crops on these 62 farms alone
to $7,027.
