GROWERS PREPARE
TO FIGHT PESTS

Investments Of orchardists in power
spl aging machinery indicates clean
crop of apples the coming season.
Sir ce January l growers have spent
So 200 on new power sprayers. Many
growers owning large holdings have
sold sprayers OF small power and have
pu chased equipment operated by high
er powered gas engines.
n conjunction with the Apple Grow
err Association the experiment station
has issued a bulletin urging growers to
be gin the immediate application of
miscible oil sprays for the control of
ap1lds, leaf rollers and other sucking
! pests. The bulletin. issued by Leroy
Ckilds, follows:
The oil spray is difficult one to ap-
ply owing to the fact that all parts of
the tree must be thoroughly covered if
good control of the leaf roller is to be
b.ained. In order to obtain best re-
su is there are few points the grow
erg should continually keep in mind
While the spray is being applied. These
are:
Apply the spray during warm wealth
er (warm settled weather) as far as it |
is possible to do so.
The eggs of the leaf roller are depos-
tied on the twIgs and branches in all /
parts of the trees, for the most part on
the upper sides of the limbs and twigs.
On@thls account all parts of the trees
must be thoroughly covered.
1t is important to hit every egg mass.
From rs to rs worms will hatch from
every egg mass missed, and it is easy
to see that few missed egg masses
can result in a very wormy condition
OF the tree. This is the reason why a
great many orchardists report poor leaf
roller control.
IL poor control occurred in portions
Of your orchard last year be sure and
pick out the most favorable weather
cor ditions this year to spray this Sec
ton as many more eggs occur on the
trees in such sections than where good
e0I troll was obtained.
After the spray has dried on some of

LAND CLEARING DEM
ONSTRATION OFFERED

If ranchers feel that such demon
stration will be beneficial, H. d.
Sudds, chief of farm management of
the Oregon Agricultural College exten.
sion work, offers to come here this fall
and give a demonstration in clearing
logged off land. In letter to Gordon
G. Brown Mr.. Sudds states that he
has found it economical to use powder
and stump pullers for smaller stumps.
For extremely large stumps it is sug-
gested that burners be used.
Mr.. Sudds, however, saws that
stumps cannot be burned unless they
have seasoned from three to four
years.
