Combat Fruit Pests in
Fall and Winter Months

In order to increase the production
of fruit it is essential that fruit grow
ers wage a continuous fight on or
chard pests. Some Of the most val
liable control work can be accom-
plished during the fall and winter
months. Certain destructive insects
are held in check only by spraying
during the dormant period of trees.
when stronger washes may be used
than when the trees are in foliage.
Many insects spend the winter on the
tree in the egg, larva, or pupal stage,
and their destruction in the course
of pruning and other orchard work Is
practicable and is Of much Importance
in keeping them reduced. Certain
fungous and bacterial diseases, par
ticularly pear blight and apple canker,
are best worked upon at this time.
Practically all Of the orchard scale
insects can be successfully controlled
by spraying the trees after the foliage
has dropped. This work may be done
either in the fall or during the winter
when the temperature Is above freez-
ing and in the spring before the buds
come out. During these periods
strong solution of lime-sulphur is used
by great many orchardists In con-
tfoIhng San Jose scale and many 9TH
er serious scale pests.
Otner scale insect pests, such as the
cherry scale, oyster-shell scale, etc,
can usually be held in check by the
dormant spray with lime-sulphur wash.
The treatment is also effective against
the pear leaf blister mite, which Is
universally present on pears, and In
many localities becomes a serious ap-
pie pest. Some plant lice that are de-
structiye especially to young apple
trees and winter in the egg stage are
destroyed by the treatment. One thing
that must be remembered In applying
the dormant spray Is that the solution
should cover every part of the tree or
i will not be effective.

Here were piled great heaps Of
Christmas presents, wrapped and tied

HIGH
WINS HAND|LY
Walks Over Emmett in
First Football
Game

Caldwell high schools football team
walked through Emmett Friday JUS
as fans predicted Coaches Lowell and
Berry'S team would do. The scor,
was $50.
Only in the first quarter did Em-
NETT threaten the locals. Three time
Emmett completed forward passes and
the ball was getting dangerously near
the locals goal line. Captain Teach
turned the tables when the prune pick
ers tried another pass. He intercepted
il and with Stevens running interfer-
ence for him. galloped the full length
OF the field for a touchdown.
That ended Emmett's hopes and
wiped out any chance for a victory.
Caldwelrs green aggregation, recover
ing from their initial stage fright,
settled down to better football and
Emmett never again seriously threat
ened.
Straight football featured the per-
formance of the local club. While the
team showed flashes. it is far from a
club that even promises to contest
pennant honors. In experience was
written all over the eleven's work, ac-
cording to fans who followed the team
TO Emmett to see the seasons first
contest.
But the game served to give Coach
Lowell an insight into the strength
and weakness OF the men he has avail
able for team. Rough edges will be
worked off. players pounded with foot
ball facts that will help their game and
hard work on some of the faults which
showed up Friday will feature this
weeks work for the team.
Next Friday the Weiser Institute
will give local fans an opportunity to
see the local team in action. This is
not regular league game but the
institute usually puts good club in
the field and fans expect to see a good
game. The week following Caldwell
plays Parma at Parma. This promises
to be a real battle, Parma having un-
doubtedly the best year of its football
athletic history.

Idaho Power Earns
About 5 Per Cent
Returns Not High on
Utilities Commission
Valuation

Boise-Ii is shown that the Idaho
Power company earnings have been
around Sc or less on the valuation
fixed by the public utilities commits
sion. That valuation excluded over
Sl.000,OO0 OF investment which the
commission held could not be con-
sidered in an earning basis.
This statement has attracted no little
attention, especially because OF the
possible bearing upon other invest
ments being sought for Idaho at this
time
There is also an indirect connection
with the situation as to the Boise Val
ley traction lines. which may be aban-
doned on account of heavy annual
losses occasioned by uncontrolled
auto trucking operations and private
and public auto passenger traffic.

tain States Telephone company rela.
tive to service for the new mining
town Of Contact, New. which is near
the Idaho line, and a potential factor
in Idaho growth.
A visitor to Boise from Contact said
that the company's line to Rogersor
gave excellent service but from there
on it was a private line, cheaply con-
structed and rather uncertain as to
functioning.
Contact seems destined to becom,

road is coming. Steps have been taken
to secure power for the mines from the

GOVERNOR GOES
OVER HIGHWAY
North-South Route is
Rapidly Being
Improved

Boise Governor {. {. Moore re-
Gently drove over the North and South
highway to secure hrsi-hand informa-
ton abou, that road and found that
much OF the criticism concerning It is
unjuStited. Approximately 200 miles
OF the 52S from Boise TO Lewiston is
an admirable highway in every par
ticular. Between New Meadows and
Round Valley there are twelve miles
of old road which awaits the compile
ton OF bridge TO open up the new
highway on the ether side OF the can
yon. There is but % miles in total
OF unfinished road from Round Valley
to Lucille and this is made up of sew
cral sections separated with finished
portions of excellent highway. Ac-
cording to the state highway depart
ment $4,000 is necessary to complete
these sections OF the road.
At various points along the road
contractors are working on sections
OF the highway for which cantracts
were let last year. Al least 100000
is being spent on these and there are
sections already contracted for which
are awaiting better labor conditions
for construction. The completion OF
a few culverts will also make this road
much better for next year.
The state highway department has
on this road only the two or three
engineers who are required for super
vision by the federal government
which is furnishing So per cent OF the
funds. Temporary clearing OF the old
road with $4,000 from the gas tax
fund is being done at this time. To
spend much more than this would be
wasteful since eventually these sections
will be built by contract.

Funds raised by this campaign will

Education board. About S45.000 re-
mains to be subscribed to the college
to match this pledge. II must be rais-

meet the conditions OF the gift during
recent times.
No further action will be taken for

This endowment pledge must be met
first. If the contemplated campaign is
successful and the remaining $4,000

be turned to a building program. 1t

ELEVEN
READY FOR GAME
CornelIs Team May Sur
prise University in
First Game

Anse Cornell'S College OF Idaho
football team won't be easy piokings
for the University of Idaho in the first
football game between these Idaho in
stitutions al Moscow next Friday.
That is the opinion of Coach Cornell
following two weeks hard work with
his squad and familiarity with the men
under his direction.
Cornell itsn'S optimistic enough to
believe that his team will win. But
he thinks il can win and is almost GER
tain TO give the university good
battle. Twenty points is the most
Cornell will concede the university
team and breaks of the game may re-
duce that materially.
Lack OF the cleverness that has
characterized College OF Idaho foot
ball teams during the regime of Wade
and Blake Lowell is the biggest handi-
cap that Coach Cornell has to over
come. His material seems TO be in
capable OF welding a football as the
gifted Lowell brothers did so easily
in days past That and the inexperi-
ence OF most of his men makes Cor
ncll's job hard one.
More speed in the line than col
lege team has shown in years. coupled
with a speedy backheld, is expected
to make life interesting for Matthews
proteges at the university. Jordan
an Josh" Lowell as pair OF clever
backs while Walker. Robinson, Logue,
Beauchamp and Jcffries make the cen
ter of the college line a place of
strength.
Interest in the university game is
acute here. More rabid football fans
are talking loudly OF delegation to
witness the game. Plans are well un-
der way for a considerable party to
drive through for the game and the
college is almost certain to have a
csteric of rooters on the sidelnes
when the referees whistle blows FRI
day.
That the university team is not look
ing for snap in this first game OF
the season is evidenced by dope"
sent out from the university. A close
score game is predicted.

SAYS
SOUTH IN ERROR
Reclamation Expendi-
lures Did Not Come
From Treasury

Boise-State Reclamation Commits
sioner Warren G. Swendsen gives
some cold facts in response to recent
published statements of southern poll
ticians that the west had failed dis
mally' in its reclamation program and
that II would not cooperate in drain
ing southern swamp lands.
1T should be remembered. said
Commissioner Swendsen. THAT of the
Sl40.000,0O0 spent in the west by the
federal government for reclamation
that more than Sl20, 100000 have been
derived from the sale OF western tim
Der lands. This did not come from the
u. s. treasury and the south contrib
uted nothing to it, 1t seems to me
that since these properties are owned
by the government that the revenue
derived therefrom should be returned
to the benefit and advantage OF the
western states.
The west has contributed millions
OF dollars for the draining OF swamp
lands in the south during previous
administrations and the western rep
resentatives are still willing to aid that
action to my personal knowledge The
Smith-McNary bill will be pushed
harder by the western men when a
demand for agricultural expansion in
the west and the country's agricultur-
al sections in general demands addi-
tional farming territory. The present
slump in farm produce has had mos;
to do with the slump in the demands

ernment reclamation projects
