TO THE FRUIT GROWERS AND
FARMERS OF DELTA COUNTY

The new premium list 1929 for
the Delta County Fair is now ready
for distribution; the premiums are in
creased in many instances. and 1t is
the hope and expectation Of the man
agement that this will occasion added
interest in the displays from every
section of our wonderfully prolific
county. 9f}A
believe that the greatest good to
the county comes from the community
interest developed through our Com
munity Clubs. With this idea in view,
the Directors have made it possible
for every Community Club in the
county to win Fifty Dollar prize
for a ereditable exhibit; also in ad-
dition, One Hundred Eighty-five Dol
lars in cash is to be divided into four
premiums as follows: first, $500;
second, $4,000; third, $3.50; fourth,
$3.50, thus making 1t possible for
some community to win $125, beside
the individual premiums which go to
the exhibitors.
You will agree that the Fair Asso-
citation has been most generous in
the above offer, and it should be the
duty of each Community Club as well
as each individual, to strive to bring
out every desirable exhibit possible.

MOTOR LICENSES YIELDS
$1,000, 900 IN SIX MONTHS

Motor vehicle license fees for the
first half of 1928 brought into the
treasury of the state $1.024, 40S.S6 an
increase of $126.37S.70 over the same
period a year ago. Licenses have
been issued from January LIST to June
Goth, 1928, to 154.S47 owners Of pass
enger vehicles; 5000 trucks and 2.11s
motor cycles. an increase Of 1855;
2151 and 1856 respectively over the
number issued for the same period In
1922.
One reason for the increased rev.
enue is that the so-called tx licenses"
which were issued at cost of plates to
motors used only for official business,
have been abolished. This practice
has been subjected to such great
abuse that an amendment was In
troduced In the last legislature to do
away with It and the measure passed
without a dissenting vote.

have frequently heard during the
last month, the complaint that secur-
ing these exhibits entails too much
effort on the part OF few. This
of course is true, however, it Is equal.
ly true that the up-building Of any
worthy enterprise depends on the un-
firing efforts Of few leaders. Some
one must begin at once.
We have in all sections Of our coun.
ty wonderful assortment of early
varieties of fruits that will naturally
be out of season at the time of our
County and State Fairs. In order to
provide for this, arrangements have
been made to place the entries in
cold storage either in the Hotchkiss
or Delta ice plants. These exhibits
must be matured but not fully ripe.
Separate exhibits of anything reQuir.
ing cold storage should be prepared
for the County and State Fairs. as
such fruits will become too soft dur
ing the time intervening between the
two fairs. Entries of this class in
tended for the State Fair should be

for Delta County Exhibit. ALL pack
ages must have full address of ex-
hibitor and state the kind OF fruit.
These exhibits are sent from any
point in the state at the expense of
the State Fair Commisson.
A little individual effort properly
will enable us to maintain
the high position our county SO rich
ly deserves.
Please bear in mind that a success

our chances for success at the State
Fair the last week in September.
Premium list for the State Fair will

our County Commissioners, who have

Make Cuttings in Fall
for Best Vineyard Start

Those wishing to set out vineyards
will profit by making grape cuttings
and getting them ready for spring
planting this fall. says the Farm Jour
nal. A number of cuttings may be
made from one vine. and after one
year of cultivation in a small nursery
lot the young vines are ready for
planting.
Cuttings should be taken from new
wood. each cutting having two to three
buds upon 1t. The cuttings are from
eight to twelve inches long. the bottom
being trimmed close to the first bud,
while the top of the cutting has two
or three inches Of wood above the top
bud. These are tied in bundles and
placed in damp sand in the cellar or
buried out of doors and covered to pre-
vent injury from severe freezing.
In the spring the cuttings are set in
rows three feet apart and four inches
apart in the row. Only the upper bud
of the cutting is allowed to extend
above the ground. so that the other
buds will develop roots.

Bees Need Overcoats
During Cold Weather
Plan to Make Colonies Snug
Before Winter Sets In. :.

The careful wintering of his bees Is
one of the things to which the success
fhl apiarist gives close attention, say
the bee men at the New York College
of Agriculture In Ithaca. In pointing
out that the time to plan for making
the colonies snug is before the cold
weather is at hand.
The college authorities, in a state
ment issued recently. explain the two
ways Of wintering most used-in pack
ing cases and in cellars.
Those who use the packing-case
method seem to agree that each case
should house four colonies and should
have four inches of Insulation on the
bottom. eight inches on the sides and a
foot on top of the hives, The cases
should be prepared late in September,
or early in October.
Beekeepers IN northern and central
New York find that the cellar is most
satisfactory as a wintering place. The
hives are put into cellars before the
bees have lost any of their vitality by
freezing usually not later than the
middle of November-and are left un-
disturbed until spring. A uniform tenn
perature of between As and so degrees
Fahrenheit is maintained. the cellars
are kept dark and little ventilation is
given.
Cellars below the frost line. where
the temperature never drops below 40
Fahrenheit are recommended by the
experts. and they say that the nees
should never be confined to the hives
by screens, as is sometimes done. They
should be taken out Of doors again
early in April.

Parasites Fight
European Earwig
Small Pests Feed on Tender
Green Shoots of Clover
and Other Plants.


prepared by the United States Department
One result of the recent European
trip of DR.. l.. o. Howard, chief Of the
bureau of entomology of the United
States Department of Agriculture, was
the discovery that there exist in Eu-
rope two parasites of the European
earwig which Is at present great
nuisance in the vicinity of Seattle.
Wash; Portland, Ore. and Newport,
R. L Arrangements were made by
Doctor Howard to have the bureaus
laboratory at Hyeres, France. study
the parasites and prepare shipments
to this country at an early date.
Feeds on Plants.
The European earwig in Its several
stages feeds on very tender green
shoots of clover and grass. dahlia
plants and blossoms, and the stamens
and petals of various flowers. Mellow
garden soil. lawns with a southern
exposure, or similar places make fer
tile breeding and ALTERNATING grounds
Tor the earwigs. which multiply rapid
ly. the female laying from so to 80
shiny white eggs each season.
The adult earwig is rich reddish
brown with the wing covers and legs
dull yellow brown. and the wings three
fourths of an inch in length. In late
summer the adults gather in large
numbers in crevices or behind vines
for mating. At other times during the
day they hide In any, crevice, folds Of
clothing, or even behind a convenient
leaf which offers protection. They
may be found in large numbers on
porches, behind chair cushions, under
rugs. and in folds of awnings. The
European earwig was first noticed at
Newport In 1911. at Seattle In 1915,
and at Portland shortly after. 1t was
undoubtedly brought in from Europe,
where it is very common. although
not considered of great economic i'm
portance. In this country, however.
the earwig has multiplied rapidly in
the infested areas and has become a
serious pest and caused much annoy
ance. 1t is possible that 1t may spread
to other sections Of the country if not
checked.
In addition to the parasites which
have been discovered. there are other
enemies Of the earwig. Toads eat the
larvae readily. Hens deyour the adults
ravenously, but the earwigs are SO
hidden during the day that fowls can
hardly be considered as an important
factor in controlling the insect. Poi
soned bats and sprays furnish other
means of control.

Lousy Pigs Make Little
Profit While Growing

Hogs cannot make both pork and
lice, and the lousy pig can seldom eat
enough to make hog of himself. II
he has to continue boarding myriads
Of lice. This has been the unvarying
experience of good live stock men
everywhere.
Lice may be destroyed on hogs by
dipping, the use of crude oil being
highly recommended by those who
have experimental widely. Let the
water in the dipping tank be covered
with layer of crude oil at least an
inch thick. The Oil may be applied to
the bodies Of the hogs with sprink-
ling pot or a swab. IL care Is used.
but 1t is not as safe as we would like,
and, in any case. it Is method recon-
mended for use only in cold weather.
when dipping Is out of the question.
Also there are number of other
remedies which may be used, such as
equal parts Kerosene and machine oil,
or one part turpentine to two parts
machine oil applied to every part Of
the body by means Of either rag or
brush. Be careful in the use of such
remedies. Of course, or they might be
almost as hard on the pig as they are
on the lice. Do NOT lose sight Of the
good high-grade coal-tar dips. which
are certainly valuable when applied
according to directions. The oiler. or
oiled rubbing post. has a place on
every hog farm. or farm where hogs
are raised.

Propagate Currants and
GOoseberries in Autumn

Currants and gooseberries are prop
agated by stem cuttings. AS these are
both woody perennials the roots start
most readily from the youngest or
one-year wood. Currant cuttings are
made by cuttings Of the previous sum-
mer's growth. The upper end is cut
trifle above bud and the lower
end straight through bud. In case
Of varieties that root readily, the cut
tings are made about eight or nine
inches In length; OF. varieties that
root with difficulty. they are made
three or four inches longer than this.
Currants root quite readily especial.
~ when started in well drained sandy
or sandy loan soil. They are planted
a few inches apart in well prepared
soil. being placed about six inches
apart in the nursery row and the
rows three or four feet apart. AS
soon as the leaves drop in the fall the
cuttings may be made and planted
or they may be made in February,
stored in a cool cellar and kept from
drying out until time for planting in
the early spring.
If planted in the autumn. the cuts
tings should be set with the top ends
just covered with soil mulch Of
straw should be placed over these just
before the ground freezes to prevent
their being pulled up during the VIM
ter by alternate freezing and thaw-
ing
Most varieties Of gooseberries are
much more difficult to propagate than
are currants and they are generally
started by mound layering the young
shoots in July or when they are about
eighteen inches In height This 10
done by shoveling soil directly into
each hill until there is mound of well
packed soil about foot deep.
Early the following spring the
mounds are removed and. the shoots
cut off near the ground. Short roots
will have formed near the base of the
shoots and one cutting. about a foot
in length. is made, from each shoot.
These are planted the same distances
and in the same way as are currant
cuttings and cultivated and hoed.
Nurserymen sell currant and goose
berry plants either when they are
one or two years old. The two-year
plant is very much superior to the
one-year plant due to its better de-
veloped root system.
