TINE FOR SPRAYING IS
HERE
Horticultural Inspector Fred
Baisch Gives Hints as to Or
chard Pest Control.

/ wish to call the attention of frui
growers, and those who are doini
custom spraying, that the time fo
applying the dormant or winter spra,
is at hand, and this should now b,
done as soon as possible while wealth
er conditions are favorable for thi.
operation.
In an article published by the Bois,
Statesman, under date of March
w. H. Wicks of the department Of
agriculture emphasized very strong
ly the desirability of prompt actor
in this matter, as at this time it j.
much more economical and effective
in combating all injurious pests which
prey upon our trees and shrubs, as
these pests are Matching or leaving
their winter alternating places to
start activity with the first flow OF
sap and swelling of buds. 1t is now
while the trees are bare of leaves
and comparatively dormant, that we
can do the most effective work with
the least possible expense in the way
of spray material and labor, AZ at
this time we can reach every crotch
and Granny of the tree with less waste
of time and spray solution; besides,
there are less insects to kill, as every
one that escapes now represents null
tiplied thousands later, when we dare
not use strong solution owing to trees
being in bloom or in leaf.
We have two very effective reme-
dies against these pests; the miscible
oil, called spray-mulsion and the lime
sulphur, liquid and dry. In using
either one of them, be sure to use
according to directions given out by
the manufacturers, as the proportions
have been tested out in
to determine accurately
the strength required to kill. By US
ing more, or a stronger solution, you
not only waste material, but in some
instances there may be serious dam
age done to the trees. Those who use
The bulk lime and sulphur (liquid)
should use it at the rate of 6A gal
ons to make so gallons spray solu-
ton, or 25 gallons to 200 gallon
tank, as this stock solution tests 33
oAume. Those who are using the bar
-eled liquid lime-sulphur can secure

The dry lime sulphur and the spray
nulsion should be used as per. direc-
ions. Those sprays are effective on.
cale, peach twig borors, aphis, as well
IS the brown mite or red spider.
In connection with the above | wish
o say that it is well to have your
pruning all done before spraying, as
,etter work can be done, and pile
md burn all prunings, twigs, and rub
'ish, as in so doing you will get away
With many insect pests and diseases.
Be sure to use sufficient pressure
n spraying; $50 pounds is not too
much on large trees and these should
re sprayed from towers, with bamboo
nd angle nozzle in order to cover the
PIPER surfaces of large branches
n old trees, as here is where many
lold over pests are generally found. /
through the kindness of our news
aper men l shall find space for ar
icles on orchard work from time to
ime. So watch these columns.

Mortgage Burning at M. E.. Church

Mortgage Burning at M. E. Church
The preparations for the evening
service at the Methodist church Sun
day evening began many years ago,
when it was necessary to borrow some
money from the General Church Ex-
tension Society of the church to meet
the indebtedness on the new building.
The 1st of January this year the en-
tire obligation was met and the
mortgage returned to those who made
it. On last Sunday evening the en-
tire hour was taken up with the cere-
mony of burning on the pulpit Of the
church this cancelled paper. The en-
tire board Of trustees of the church
sat with the pastor on the pulpit.
Addresses were made by the pastor,

New Variety of Wheat Makes Good

A new variety Of wheat known as
Improved Jenkins Club was grown by
w. IT. Eager. The start of this new
wheat came from Canyon county
farmer and originated from a single
head. It was grown in cooperation
with the farm bureau and has been
certified for purity. Mr.. Eager Sc
curedsan average yield of 55 bushels
per acre, and in Canyon county it is
proving to be at least equal to the
Dicklow wheat. Mr.. Eager has some
of this seed for sale. See his ad else

Of the grower, keeping in mind tha

the only hope of the proper develop.
ment of the fruit business. Besides
knowing the necessity Of the proper
kcare Of the orchard, he has always
been alive to what the market wants
in the way of pack of the various

successful features which has given
the grower ample and quick returns
from his fruit. Nearly all sales are
made on a basis of f. o. b. Emmett
and it is an exception if any fruit is
shipped except to fill an order. In or
der to adjust any variation in price
between early and late sales all prices
received for the different varieties Of
fruits are pooled and the grower is
given the benefit Of the average price

of variety of fruit. This equalizes
any discrimination that there might
be by reason of a growers fruit not
being put on the market either early
or late in the season. whichever time
might happen to have the highest
prices. This system of pooling prices
is used entirely by cooperative fruit
growers associations both in the
Northwest and in California.

DISCUSS WATER
QUESTION
City Council Takes Up Supervision
of Irrigation Water.

The greater part of Monday even
ing's meeting Of the city council was
taken up by consideration of the pro-
posed plan to take over the distribu-
ton of irrigation water in the city.
In questions submitted to Attorney
George Huebener, the opinion was
given that the taking over Of the
bitches would in no wise change the
present status of affairs. In other
words that the present share holders
would continue to manage the business
of each lateral as before, the city act
ing as trustee for all the lateral COM
panies simply as the supervisor and
distributor of the water. The city
will assume no other power other
than that. The expense of each lat
eral company would be borne as now
by each shareholder in that company,
but the expense of a water master
would be borne by the city as whole.
Whatever improvements shall be made
by any company will be decreed by
that company and the expense borne
by that company.

Amalga1nated Cloth
ing Workers are
Winning,

Officials of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers Expressed the be.
lief yesterday that the great lock-
out in the mems clothing industry
which has continued for twenty-four
weeks would be settled within few
days. The defeat of the minority
war party" in the Clothing Manu-
facturers' Association of New York,
Inc. makes it certain that approxi-
mately ninety per cent of the manu-
facturers in the New York market
will continue to deal with the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers
Although a group of manufactur-
ers has reorganized the New York
clothing trade association with the
intention of continuing the battle
against the union, it was claimed at
union headquarters last night that
this group does not represent more
than seven per cent of the market.
"The irreconcilables will soon dwindle
away" said a union official yester-
day, because it has been definitely
proved during the twenty-four weeks
struggle that manufacturers cannot
maintain production without the CO.
operation Of the union. The National
.
City Bank reported that production
has been curtailed in this market
during the lockout eighty-five per
cent. Since many manufacturers
settled with the union some time
ago and begun production again, this
means that the manufacturers who
fought the union were unable to
produce any appreciable amount Of
clothing"
1t is expected that the impartial
machinery for settling industrial dis
putes which was destroyed by the
manufacturers last December will
be re-established. This machinery,
which leaves to an impartial Judge
the settlement Of vital disputes be-
tween the manufacturers and the
workers, has proven successful
throughout the period Of depression
in the Rochester and Chicago cloth
ing markets. Wages were recently
reduced by arbitration between the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers and
the clothing manufacturers Of Chi
cago and Baltimore.
The twenty-four weeks struggle
in the mems clothing industry has
been the most expensive war in the
history Of the industry. The Anal
gamated Clothing Workers raised
fund Of almost two million dollars
for Che relief Of its locked-out n,em-
bers. This Is the largest amount ever
raised by a single union for strike
relief in the history Of American
labor.
The lockout has been Characterized
Iby many injunction suits and suits
| for the dissolution Of the union. Since
the manufacturers who filed did-
solution suits against tho union arc
now ready to deal with the oreanl j.
ticn, Il Is assumed that thsso suits
