WHEN WILL THIS
SHAME BE STOPPED

Once again we are notified that
a rum fleet" has arrived off the
three-mile limit.
According to the Associated
Press, there are now ID Of these
vessels eff Atlantic Highlands,
New Jersey, one Of which is a me-
dunn sized liner.
This liner, so it is rumored, is
on a friendly" mission from Glas-
glow, Scotland, where a pool has
been formed to invest in hostile ac-
tion against the American prohibit
ton laws.
1t seems to us that the time has
come to settle this question.
We are informed on good au-
thority that the United States has
a right under international law to
protect it's vital interests against
these boats. If it 1as not such a
right, international law ought to be
changed and the United States
ought'to change it some time with
in the next few hours.
Those who hold the theory thai
the United States is debarred by
international law from doing any
thing to defend itself against this
death dealing fleet must
hold the theory that this country
is under the obligation to take any
sort CT punishment without 1esis-
lance.

PELEHATCRE. MISS.

pronounce it "Pelyhatchie')
We got begged outside Of Forest in
some Mississippi wallows
Where there wasn't any bottom to
the clay that lined the hollows,
But with seven darkies pushing, and
with seven other plugging.
We were set upon the roadway and
our car continued chugging
Toward the tiny town of Morton, on
a so-called highway which is
Made of clay and muck and gumbo
heaped between two ten-foOt
bitches;
By miracle we made it, till all
muddy, cold and drippy,
We arrived at Pelehatche, Mississippi
We had planned on making Vicks
burg, or at least on reaching Jack
son,
But the sturdy, fighting spirit of the
hardy Anglo-SaXon
Wasn't strong enough within us; We
were weary bone and sineW,
And our common sense decided it was
silly to continue.
Thus we rested from our labOrs as
the shades of night were falling
And the dinner bell was ringing with
a melody enthralling;
We were -famished from our travel
ocr roadways wet and slippy.
So we stopped at Pelehatche, Mis-
sissippi.
Twas a funny country hostel, hut the
food-the food was yumny.
1t was pleasant to the palate and it
satisfied the tummy.
There were biscuit light as feathers,
and my. blood will ever quicken
AS l think about the SAVIOR Of that
crisp and tender chicken,
Golden eggs well fried in butter and
a lot of other dishes;
Yes, the food at Pelehatche meets the
tourists fondest wishes;
So the traveller, when weary from the
rigors Of his trip, he
Ought to stop at Pelehatche, Mis-
slsSlppl,
There is nothing much to do there,
there is nothing much to see there,
But the rooms are clean and comfy
and it's pleasant just to be there,
And to sit around the wood-stove
with the local dignitaries
And to listen to the gossip which the
tongue of rumor carries.
From Meridian to Vicksburg is a
journey far from pleasant,
With the roads in the condition that
they suffer from at present;
But when navigating through them
makes you pretty nearly dippy,
Take a rest at Pelehatche, Mis-
sissippi.

sonable history of the pest, the gener-
al methods of control, ETC., the bulle-
tin says:
1t is of the utmost Importance that
the various codling moth sprays be ap-
piled at the proper time, since spray
applied at the wrong time may be
largely wasted and the fruit may be
left unprotected when large numbers
OF worms are Matching. Since the
time for making the summer spray
applications differs each year, it is
more difficult to ascertain the pro-
per time for applying these sprays
than it is for any Of the other sprays
used by the fruit growers in Washing
ton.
The calyx spray is used for the pur-
pose of poisoning the large numbers
of worms that enter the calyx cup,
and is the most important spray Of
all. 1t should be applied very thoroly,
every calyx cup being filled. In or
der to do this, some growers consider
it advisable to apply two calyx sprays
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1923-04-05

one right after the other. The calyx
spray must be applied between the
time the petals fall and the time the
calyx cups close. No time should be
wasted, as this interval is short,
never more than 10 or IL days.
The cover sprays are applied to pro-
tect the surface of the fruit. The
number necessary will vary with the
locality and the degree of worminess
Of the orchard. In the majority Of
cases four cover sprays should be put
on, two for the first brood and two
for the second. Every effort should
be made to eliminate as far as pOssi-
BILE the first brood of worms and the
spraying for this brood should be un-
usually thoro, even tho but few wormy
apples are seen. The second brood of
worms are all progeny of the first
brood and the nearer the grower
comes to graduating the first brood
the less trouble he will have with
the second brood.
The first cover spray should be on
the trees when the eggs of the codling
moth begin to hatch. If expert adj
vice is not available, probably the
best way to set this date is to observe
the p. m. temperatures of Their
mometer hung in the orchard away
from the buildings. Begin making
observations as soon as the calyx
spray is completed, and when two or
more nights occur with 8 p. m. tenn
peratures of 60 or higher, plan to
have the cover spray completed with
in ten days. The reason for this Is
that these temperatures will cause the
moths to lay eggs, and the eggs will
hatch in about ten days. In general
this spray will have to be applied
about three weeks after the calyx
spray.
AS the worms are Matching for four
or five weeks, second cover spray
will be necessary, and should be COM
pleted two weeks after the first cover
spray has been finished. This pro-
vides fresh coating of poison at a
time when most of the worms are
Matching and at time when the pre-
vious spray has become thinned out
by the growth Of the fruit.
There is an interval between the
Matching Of the first and second brood
worms and the third cover spray, APP
piled for the earliest worms of the
second brood, comes six weeks after
the first cover spray, or usually dur
ing the last two weeks Of July.
The fourth cover spray should be
applied four weeks after the third to
protect the fruit during the latter
part of the season, and under most
conditions there is no object in lat
er spray. The codling moth must be
controlled early in the season if it is
to be held in check.
The number Of cover sprays neces-
sary may vary from one to Ave de-

pending on the locality. At least half
of the total number should be applied
for the first brood of worms.
