Rulers Treasure Found

Lord Byron, who a century ago was
an honored guest of ALI Pasha, stern,
hard-boiled ruler of Albania, frequent
ly mentioned the Splendor of his home
and the rich plumber he had accumu-
lated. Since Ali Pasha's death
numerous attempts have been made to
find his treasures but all have failed
until recently Greek Psychologists,
digging about the grounds where
stood his palace and castle, I'M
earthed a valuable, interesting rem
nant of them. Among the spoils found
are ten boxes of gold coins-Egyptian
ducats-numerous gold ornaments and
some Oriental rugs, worth altogether
more than $100,000,000.-Pathtnder

Remarkable Cure

A marvel of surgery has been
brought to light by the visit of a man
to London hospital. He said he
had brought his wife to be treated, as
the hospital had been successful with
him Is years ago. He stated that he
had suffered from cancer, and that
his tongue had been cut out in 1906
The mans story sounded incredible,
particularly as he was able to talk
quite naturally, an almost unheard-of
thing after such an operation, but a
medical examination corroborated his
statement. The malignant growth had
gone entirely, and the man was able
to masticate his food and enjoy his
smoke.

First c over Spray of 1924
For Paonia, Cedaredse, Hotchkiss,
RedIands Mesa and Crawford

At present it is early to state a
date for the completion of the first
cover spray. However, the fact that
the local papers are weekly issues,
the next issue might be too late for
these who have a week of spraying 10
complete. At the same time many of
the growers wish some indication of
the time so as to time their irrigation
work accordingly. Therefore, it is
considered advisable to establish a
tentative spray date that may be
changed if the case need be, by phone
communities who will aid in dispers-
ing the information around These
men will remain the same as for last
season so far as possible. Mr. Dyer,
County Horticulturist, will be in direct
touch with the developments at all
times. Any person may feel free 10
call either Mr.. Dwyer or the Paonia
Office for information.
The first moths emerged at the
Paonia insectary on May 18th but
have been very backward due to the
cool nights of the past week The
first eggs were laid on the 25th just
eight days after the first emergence
The average time from the first moths
to the optimum time for the COM
pletion of the first cover spray is 20
to 81 days. Thus for this season the
earliest date of completion would be
June the 18th. For the time being this
date will stand; however, should the
rainy weather continue the time will
be necessarily retarded. The Paonia
office will endeavor to give out any
changes that may be necessary not
later than June 1st or End. Hotchkiss,
Eckert and Redlands Mesa sections
should be day or so earlier than the
above date.

For Austin, Cory and Delta Sections
During the past season a large num-
Der of over wintering larvae have been
carried through the winter, in an out
door insectory at the College Orchard
near Austin. These larvae are under
observation for the express purpose of
determining the time that the moths
emerge and thereby adjusting the
time for the application of cover
sprays accordingly. This places the
timing of spray dates upon a sound
basis and removes it from the realm
of guess work. Each season has its
own variations and peculiarities that
must be determined and considered.
The first moths emerged at Austin
on May 18th, two days later than in
1923, and have been increasing in
numbers until the cool weather of the
last five or six days.

The average time from the emerg-
ence of the first moth to the opium
time for the completion of the first
cover spray is 20 to 81 days. The
first moths of this season have been
very backward in their egg laying due
to the cool nights Considering these
facts the first cover spray for Austin,
Cory and Delta should be completed
by June End. If the week of May the
25th to the 1st of June continues to
remain cloudy and rainy this may be
trifle early, but even so it will be
better to go ahead than to be late, pro
viding that the weather will permit
thorough application. All spray work
should be planned so as to make this
the completion date.
Thorough Work
The success of Codling-Moth control
in Delta County depends upon two
primary factors, which are: 1st. proper
timing of the cover sprays; End,
thorough work in the application Of the
sprays. Each of these are interde-
pendent one upon the other. Proper
timing is valueless without thorough
application, and equally so is thorough
application if made at the wrong
time.
1t is a proven fact that 500 of
the moths lay their eggs in the upper
third of the trees, which accounts for
the failure of much spray work be-
cause they do not give the top Of the
tree proper attention. 1t is not a mat
ter of using more arsenic per gallon,
but more gallons of standard spray
solution per tree. A tree bearing
normally 10 boxes of apples will aver
age 10 gallons per application for the
season if properly pruned and thinned,
but many growers are endeavoring to
get by" using only six or seven gal
Ions.
Protection Of Bees
Those orchardists who are fortunate
enough to be within range of a good
apiary should remember that the
bees are a great asset to his orchard
at the time of pollination. There
should be no contention between the
orchardist and the bee man for the
two are closely associated. Every
orchardist should refrain from spray
ing with cover crops in bloom under
the trees, because there is great
danger of poisoning the field bees
which are working therein. 1t re-
quires only little forethought to see
that all cover crops that are in bios
som are cut previous to the time of
spraying. This cooperation am sure
would be appreciated and will return
equally to both parties.-J H Newton,
Deputy State Entomologist.
