GROWERS WARNED TO
FIGHT CUT WORMS
Inspector Says Climbing Cut Worms
Are Doing Considerable Dam
age to Fruit Buds

There are bugs in the Courier-Re-
porter window. They were put there
by Winfield S. Smith, who says the
climbing cut worms are again at work
eating the fruit buds. So far the
peach buds are the only ones seriously
affected but the apple and other fruit
buds are not exempt.
The remedy is the important thing
to consider and there are several each
mere or less effective.
1. Poison, mash consisting of about
25 pounds of bran, 2 pounds OF Paris
green, and enough water to make a
mash. Scatter this thinly on the
ground about the trunks of the trees
after first cleaning away the trash.
Do this in the evening as the worms
feed only at night.
2. Cotton batting tied around the
trunks. Use strip about 3 or 4
inches wide and the upper half turned
back to form an inverted cone.
8 Tangle foot spread around the
trunk using a three-inch band OF this
material. With trees under four years
use a piece of Paper or cloth next to
trunk and put tanglefoot on this.
4 Hand picking of worms at night
This method is the most certain but
the most painstaking.

"The campaign for cleaner city

cost of the apparatus.

up their lawns and parkings. People
are judged by the appearance of their

Many Property Owners Fa-
vor Permanent Improve
ment Of Streets
ESTIMATED COST is
|, SIXTY DOLLARS LOT
If People Do Not Want II
Council Won't Force 1t
Says Mayor

To pave or not to pave, is the
question which has been more or less
before the city council for several
years. Just about the time the war
struck the country things were lining
up for paving program. After the
armistice paving talk was revived on
ly to be hushed with the coming Of
slumping markets and general bus
iness depression. Now that the new
year has been well ushered in with
the prospects for fairly prosperous
times on the farm and in business,
paving talk is again coming TO the
front.
While the matter has not yet been
put up to the council for discussion
the public improvements committee
is considering program that will in
clude the paving of Front street from
Washington to Pacific, Second street
from the canal east to the city limits,
Third street from Washington to the
canal, the north and south streets be-
tween Second and Third from Wash
ington to Seventh, part Of Sercombe
and possibly .some paving on other
streets east Of Washington.
While no organized effort has been
made to ascertain the wishes of the
property owners a number have ex-
pressed desire to have their street
paved.
Mayor Desgranges has received an
estimate from one large paving firm.
The figure quoted is $50 per 25-foot
lot for a 20-foot street. This is con-
sidered an outside figure and the may
or is of the opinion that this estimate
would be considerably reduced by COM
petitive bidding. If the paving is done
it will be paid for with L. /. ID. 10 or
20-year bonds.
There is no desire on the part of
any member Of the council TO force
a paving program on the people,"
said Mayor Desgranges. "There is,
however, considerable agitation for
paving and this agitation comes from
owners Of property along the streets
to be paved. If the people upon whom
the assessments will fall want the
paving we want to give it to them.
If the majority do not want it we do
not wish to force it upon them"

BROWN URGES
ALL TO SPRAY
Horticultural Inspector Says
It's Mistake to Neglect
First Spray

District Horticultural Inspector w.
p. Brown is unshaken in the belief
that it will be grave mistake for
any orchardist to fail to use the
dormant spray this year. Earlier in
the season Mr.. Brown urged the grow
ers not to pass up the dormant spray.
This week he is making another ap-
peal. He says:
During the past season this dis
trict was generally quite free from
this pest. However, we had samples
of it in all sections in the district and
observations of trees this spring in
dicate that there is still enough live
scale to infest the section within a
comparatively short time. Reports
are being made from all sections Of
the country that where two and three
years ago the scale had been con-
trolled the infestation now threatens
to be severe, so the growers are los
ing all the effective work that they
had done to control this pest. If the
orchardists in this section are to con-
tinue producing clean fruit they must
carry on effective control measures
against the few now in the orchards,
rather than waiting until we have suf-
fered severe losses before again start
ing our cleanup. Much of the scale
which is carried over from one year
to the next is present on the willow
trees which are along fence rows or
irrigation laterals. Growers who have
willows on or near their places should
remove this growth and eliminate as
many host plants as possible"
