AMERICA--POWER

modern world, would be less great,
less wonderful, were it not for the
magic Of Power,
While our agricultural resources

been builded our social and economic
structure, It is Power that has made
us industrially great.
Forty-one years ago, the Electric
Central Station had its beginning in
New York. The evolution Of the Cen
trail Station resulted in a revolution
of Industrial methods. Greater pro-
duction, lower costs, more and better
products at lower price have fob
lowed the adaptation Of Power to the
needs Of man. And the end is no.

TO KNOW SPRAYING DATES
SAVES ORCHARDISTS MONEY

While it has long been recognized
that climatic factors influence the
severity of the ravages of the codline
moth in fruit orchards, it was not un.
til recent years that the close rela-
tiOnship between the temperature OF
the air and the development and &C
tivity of the moths has been studied
and charted. Cooperation between
meteOrologists and entomologists of
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture and State horticulturists in
Washington has contributed to the
more efficient control of the moth,
which is particularly destructive to
apples and pears.
Experiments conducted at the Wea-
Their Bureau station at Walla Walla,
Wash, have shown that codling moth
do not deposit eggs when the temper
AZURE is below 60 F. Observations
have shown also that three-fourths OF
the eggs are laid between 3 p. m. and
8 p. m. The practical application OF
these facts lis, that when there. is a
temperatures of; 60 F. or higher at g.
~ III LWO VI LII 0C uAS uIS LII .SuC-
cession, the use of a spray is indicat-,
ed, as enough eggs will have, been
produced to cause considerable later
damage.
AS these eggs will hatch in from
one to three weeks, depending on the
temperature, the spray must be ap-
piled accordingly. If the weather
turns cold after the eggs are laid, that
is, with maximum temperatures of 70
F. or below, the spray would not have
to be on the trees for 10 days or two
weeks while if it remains at rs F. or
higher the spray should be on in a
week.
AS the cost Of spraying adds ma
terially to the expenses Of an orchard
it is very essential that the work be
done when most effective. Thermom-
eter shelters have been installed by
the Weather Bureau in three differ
ent parts Of the Walla Walla fruit |
district, to aid in the work Of deter
mining the proper spraying dates for

TRAFFIC COP APPROVES
THE ELECTRIC TRUCK

Traffic congestion, problem Of
ever-increasing Importance in the
larger cities, is now being felt even
in some of the smaller communities.
In consequence, anything that will
speed up the traffic and require less
space on city streets is eagerly sought
for by Chambers Of Commerce, traffic
cops" and those who are in constant
contact with this situation. Therefore

trucks by city blue coats"

A part OF the field day, which wa
held May 29, was taken up by shear

various lots of sheep. About 75
animals were sheared that day, an(

bia, the latter a type developed by the
department.
The Rambouillets at this Govern
ment ranch are an American type de-
veloped particularly for this region
where feed is comparatively sparse.
They differ from the old type in being
larger and smoother and freer from
wool on the face Detailed records
are kept on the wool and mutton
produced. by all the differen types,

financial returns. a -
The Corriedales have been found
to produce an excellent quality of
wool, but the Columbus Yield heay-
Ter fleeces and their lambs are heav-
ier., A cross Of these two crossbred
types is being tried out and so far
has been very successful both as
wool and mutton producer.
The field day visitors were taken
in automobiles over the range to
show them the results of protecting
the range where 10000 acres has been
inclosed by a fence for three years.
This has been found an effective way
for building up good stand of grass,
as the feed inside the fence was much
better than that just outside as re-
suit of protection against roaming
stock The department also has dem
onstrated the value of assuring
water supply by drilling of wells and
the construction of reservoirs. It has
been found to pay to haul water as
much as miles during very dry
the cost being about one
fourth cent head daily during these
periods. The water required daily
per eve is between two-thirds and
of gallon.

there is a stockade for $500 ewes,

Country Gentleman" says:

lSOuANIy SCutiCA0A says.
1.-The people now living in the Uni
ted States are able to produce as
great a volume of goods as could g.
900, 000, 600 hand workers; or, stated
in another way, volume of goods
almost twice as great as could be
produced by the people Of all the rest
of the world working by primitive
hand processes. This is the estimate
|some authorities place on the produc-
tive value of the power and machin-
cry used in our various industries.
How do they arrive at such start
ling conclusions. They say the one
horsepower Of mechanical energy
available for every person in this
country multiplies our average pro-
ductive capacity by thirty. Applying
this factor to our population of los, 900
900 gives US about 5000, OOO, 900.
up to this time we have depended
very largely upon using power at the
point OF its manufacture. The loco
motive transforms the energy Of the
coal as it moves along; the factory
generally has power plant attached.
This has been a wasteful method but
perhaps. a necessary step toward the
final method, which will be greater |
Capitalization and greater economy in
power production. The power Of the
future will be generated in great CEN
trail stations by companies that make |
specially of making and selling It. |
They will use coal and water power |
and use both economically. The peo-
pie who use power will buy only what |
they need when they need it and be
relieved of the capital outlay of build
ing and maintaining thousands Of
small, inefficient power stations.
"This is being done already to d
greater extent than most of us real
ize, but the movement is still in it's
early infancy.
Farmers, as already shown, are
heavy power users and in general
they have found it profitable. The
amount they are using today, however
is not half what they will use few
years hence"
