WHERE MOLE BEATS MONKEY
Simian Is Comparatively Helpless In
the Water, az Are Many Of
the Land Birds.

Have you ever noticed gull drop

wings high so that the feathers shall
not be wetted? If gull's wing feath-
ers get wet ii cannot rise until they

A mole can swim like anything, but
a monkey is very helpless in the water.
Almost all land birds drown very rap
idly If unlucky enough to fall into the
water. They strike out with their legs,
move round and round in a circle, but
cannot get off the water.
Lions and tigers are very good swim
mers. and do not share the common
cats hatred for the water. But of all
the cat tribe, the South American
jaguar is the finest performer in the
water. It seems often to plunge in for
mere Joy of swim.

often cross river when hunted.
Bears are good swimmers, even those
that usually live far from large sheets
of water, and the common rat is no
mean performer.
One of the best Of animal swimmers
Is the horse. Horses have been known
to swim rieer nearly mile wide
simply. to get back to their old stables.
Deer, too, can all swim well. There
are cases of caribou having swum
across lakes ten miles wide when
escaping from forest fires.

A large amount of improvement
work will be started by the Richland
irrigation district within the next few
weeks. Pipe lines will be installed to
furnish large amount of water to
lands which heretofore have suffered
during the hot summer months and
1000 sacks of cement have been or
dered to build the cradles used to
hold these pipes. Specifications have
been sent to number of pipe firms
to get bids on, the pipe so that the
lowest price may be obtained which
will give satisfactory pipe and unless
something unforeseen happens there
will be great deal of work in con-
struction going on here up to the time
frost prevents further operations.

from Yakima in hope that he would
be benefited by a change in climate.
He purchased the Chas. Mathis pro-
perty on which he lived until taken to
the hospital few weeks ago. When
it was found that the disease from
which he was suffering, cancer of the
stomach, had made such inroads that
there was no hope for his recovery,
he was brought back TO the farm at
Richland where he passed away. He

Two Are Hardest Hit.

The main irrigation canal is out OF
commission again. A section of the
earth bank about three miles above
the city went out shortly after dark
Thursday evening. AS in the case OF
former breaks all haste will be en-
ployed in repairing the break and the
water will probably be flowing within
two days. ...
The break is this side of the pump.

GROWERS SHOULD
LOOK FOR BLIGHT
Bailey Warns Orchardists to be
on Alert-Care of Injured
Cherry Trees. r.

+ District Horticultural Inspector F.
E. Bailey offers the following sug-
gestions to orchardists. ,.a.-..
Fruit growers should be on the
alert for fire blight activity at this
season.
Blight is bacterial disease attack
ing pear and apple trees. 1t follows
to sap tubes of the bark and makes
rapid progress from the point of in
lection. Early summer with full sap
flow is most favorable to the spread
of blight.
All blight infection on branches
should be cut out one to two foot
below the lowest visible part of he
infected area. Trunk cankers should
have all bark trimmed away to one
inch or more beyond the area of dis
celebration of the wood. All cuts
should be washed with solution of
one part cyanide of mercury to 500
gallons of water. . .s
New growers who desire assistance
and advice in determining and con-
trolling blight should communicate
with the horticultural office at Pros
ser. - ~1@
Go after the blight before it gets
beyond your control.
Cherry Trees. X.
Cherry trees throughout the lower
Yakima valley and the adjacent Col
umbia river section have started
whitening in the tops during the past
ten days. This condition is frequently
found on trees which have carried
heavy bloom and it is due to the in
furious effect of the cold weather.
It is impossible to determine just at
present just how serious this injury
may prove to be. 1t is also doubtful
what benefit cultural methods may
have for the trees.
The following suggestions are of
fered for the purpose of saving the
trees and aiding in restoring them
to health for future seasons:
I. Cut out all injured branches as
soon as they appear. This. work
might be pursued even to the extent
of heading an entire tree back to
where healthy young wood shoots are
starting.
2. Thin out the fruit on the re-
manning wood. A sick tree should
concentrate its energies on renewing
wood growth this season.
8. Cultivate around trees; apply
light application Of barnyard fertili-
ger or commercial nitrate; keep will
irrigated to stimulate sap flow.
Powdery Mildew.
When applying the calyx spray to
apple orchards which have powdery
mildew present, lime-sulphur should
be added to the arsenate Of lead spray
at the rate of one gallon to each fifty
gallons of spray.
The arsenate Of lead should be tho
roly mixed thru the water and the ag-
itator running when the lime-sulphur |
is added. This mixture should be put |
on the trees at once. IF allowed to
stand in the tank for any length of |
time, the lead unites with the sulphur |
forming a black mud in the bottom of |
the tank and destroying the value of |
both materials.
