RECOMMENDATIONS
FOR OIL APPLICATIONS
(By Leroy Childs)

(By Leroy Childs) /.
The oil spray for the control of the
leaf roller is recommended at a
strength of gallons of oil to 100 gal
Ions of water. This application should
be made as soon as weather conditions
permit. From present indications 1t
appears it will be safe to apply the
spray in the case of apples for week
or more at least. perhaps for not quite
so long period in the lower levels of
the valley. The spray should be on the
trees before the leaves show to any
extent. The spray must go on the
pear trees before the brown husks,
which surround the fruit buds, drop.
1t is dangerous to apply the oil after
the husks have fallen.
The possibilities of the value of the
combination Oil Bordeaux spray,
combination being tested for the con-
troll of leaf roller and anthractnose,
are not completely worked out as yet.
The work is still in the experimental
stage, and for this reason is recon-
mended to the growers as trial for
this year Chemical studies show we
can expect benefit from the copper
which will persist until next fall when
anthracnose infection occurs. If you
try the spray use it on blocks of trees
most severely infected with the dis
ease.
Where this combination is to be
tried out, use the following formula
Oil, 8 gallons to 100 gallons of water
Bordeaux, 12-6-100 az lbs. Blue
stone, 6 lbs. lime.)
Where hydrated lime is used, in
crease the lime to u lbs. Prepare the
Bordeaux in the regular way. Place
the dissolved Bluestone in the tank,
filled two-thirds ca full of water and
slowly add the Stacked lime. Emulsify
the oil before it is placed in the tank
by mixing with about equal parts of
water. Add this rather slowly to the
Bordeaux mixture, keeping the agita-
tor running throughout the entire pro-
cess. This combination mixes readily
without glue, and the value of this
elment is not fully known at the pres
ent time. Glue may be added at the
rate of Ii lbs. to the 200 gallon tank.
and should be dissolved before using.
These materials may all be obtained
from the Association.
Growers are urged to make some
trials with this spray in order that as
much information may be obtained as
possible with reference to the persis-
tency of the spray and its effective
ness.

FEARS EFFECT ON GERMANY. Washington Would Not Be Surprised
 Greatly if Upheayal Follows.

Washington, Jan. 29.-Reaction Of the German people to the decision of the allied supreme council fixing an indemnity of approximately 56 bil- lion dollars to be paid by Germany, is being closely watched by officials here.
 Officials of the state department, al tho they refused to comment on the situation, indicated plainly that seri- ous political situation is expected in Germany when the indemnity terms are made known. Earlier in the week officials stated it was their opinion that the Briand cabinet of France would fall unless a large in- demnity was agreed upon, and that the present government of Germany would have a serious situation to face if it agreed to any indemnity satisfactory to France.
 4 political upheavai in Germany as result of the fixing of the indemnity would not come as a complete sur- prise to officials of this government.

Greatest Feat in History of Mountain Climbing Will Be Attempted When Party Starts Up Mt. Everest
 Higher Than Man Has Gone.
(By International News Service,


 London, Feb, 1.--The Alpine Club and the Royal Geographical Society, acting in concert, will send this year climbing party to Tibet who will make a great effort to reach the sum- init of Mount Everest
 Such an expedition must be essen ttiaiiy great adventure. Mount Ever est, the highest known peak in the Himalayas. or the world, is 29,000 feet in altitude. Even the approaches are unknown as yet to Europeans. The pioneers will encounter risks from icy slopes, rock precipices, avalanches, in tense cold, terrific winds and blinding snowstorns.
 In addition there will be the un- known factor of the capacity of a hu- man being to stand great exertion at height more than 4,000 feet higher than man has as yet ascended any mountain.
 A reconnaissance party will be sent about the end of May to acquire the fullest possible knowledge of the ge- ography of the region. Their task will be to explore all the approaches to the mountain thru the country at present entirely unknown.
 The attempt to reach the top of Mount Everest will be the greatest feat in the history of mountain climb ing. Notable mountain climbing rec ords of the past are as follows:
 In 1744 the Titlis, first true snow mountain; 17S6, Mount Blanc's sum- init reached for first time; 1811, the Jungfrau; 1872, the Finstegaarhorn; 1913, the Zermatt Breithorn; 1920, Pike's Peak; 1884, Wetterhorn; 1855, the Monte Rosa; 1865, the Matterhorn; 1879, Chimborazo; 1883, the Cordil- lera; 1888, the Selkirks; 1897, Aeon cagua; 1898, the Bolivian Andes; 1899 the Sikkim, in the Himalayas; 1909, Mount Ruwenzort.

THOUGHT THE US. DESTROYERS A GIFT
People of Riga So Used to Getting Things From Uncle Sam They Be lieved Warship in Harbor Was

(T3y International News Service.l
 Washington, Feb. 1.--Too great a reputation for generosity often re- suits in considerable embarrassment and lengthy explanations, American Red Cross workers in Latvia recently discovered. according to reports re- ceived at National headquarters.
 Each ship flying the American flag that dropped it's anchor in the harbor at Riga was known as mercy ship containing supplies for the stricken natives and refugees who crowded within the small borders of the coun- try. Then came the U. s. s. Broome, one of Uncle Sam's destroyers, and followed the embarrassment and ex- plantations.
 Immediately the Broome dropped anchor from lip to lip passed the news that the American Red Cross was go- ing to present warship to the embryo Latvian navy. Quickly the rumor went along the quay and thru the town. As the Red Cross officers were paying their respects to the com mander of the Broome stately band marched upon the quay and broke forth into something that resembled "The Star Spangled Banner" and then the Latvian national hymn. Some one made a speech, and thru an interpreter the naval men and the American Red Cross workers learned they were being thanked for the great gift the American people had made to Latvia thru the American Red Cross. Flushing, the Red Cross men ex- plained to the natives that warships particularly warships that did not be- long to the Red Cross, were not being given away.
