GETS
SIGNAL HONOR
Postmaster Named as P. G.,
All-Time Football Star
Holds Track Records

Postmaster Moores is around this
week tryin ghis best to look modest.
He has been named as end on an
all-time all-Northwest mythical foot
ball team, and a request has come
for a picture.
The request for the photo came
from the Alumni association of the
University of Oregon and the letter
says: You are selected as member
of the all-star team of University
football men from Oregon alumni.
Inasmuch as the November issue of
Old Oregon is to be a Homecoming
number and to feature football, the
pictures of the greatest players Ore
gon has had are desired.
Mr.. Moores played on the team in
1904-5-6-7, acting as captain in his
senior year. In 1922 he was men
toned by Varnell, the coast authori-
ty as the all-star end on the Pacific
coast. In 1915 and 1916 the Oregon
team went east and won from Penn
sylvania and Harvard. To be chosen
as an all-time star on team that
has made such brilliant records on
the football field is an honor that
can be highly appreciated.
Mr.. Moores also starred on the
track. In his freshman year he broke
the collegiate record in the 220-yard
hurdles and was a ten-second man
on the track.

ONE MILE PAVING COST MAY

that what he said twenty years ago
would still hold true. In twenty years
no commercial orchardist in the warm
valleys where worms are bad has
succeeded by his method and today
the worms control the orchardists.
l am willing to ask you if my story
is true, but let us figure a little more.
If the fruit growers of the state of
Washington, who represent one of
the greatest industries in the state,
and one particular industry which adj
vertises the state most widely, were
to go before the state legislature and
ask for $4,000 or the cost of build
ing one mile Of paved highway, we
would be accused of attempting to
rob the Golfers of our state. If for
the purpose of fighting codling moth
by putting chemists, botanists and
entomologists on the job to devise a
chemical that would not injure the
tree but would kill the codling moth
egg before the egg hatched and bit
the apple in order to commit suicide,
we were to ask the state to put up
$4,000 or less than one per cent of
our worm loss, we would not likely
succeeded in even getting hearing.
If our state legislature would put
up purse of some $4,000 or $780,
600 for the person who would first
devise an economical and practical
new method Of exterminating codling
moth we likely would have men here
experimenting and within a year we
would have the problem solved.
Yet let us ask for such purse
even tho it cost the state nothing
until the problem was solved, and we
likely would not even get hearing.
Some day, possibly a hundred years
from now, some orchardist will dis
cover and absolutely successful way

ALL PLANNING
ORCHARD FIRES
Orchard Heating has Large
ly Passed Experimental
Stage = Heat Apples

The extent to which Southern CAL
ifornia growers are recognizing the
advantages Of using orchard heaters
for frost protection is shown by their
purchasing this year over $50 car
loads Of heaters. e .-... ns
This seasons additions to equip
ment already in the field will be
grand total of heaters used in citrus
nearly 100000 heaters, while the
districts are many times that num-
Der. This is significant fact Of
great Importance to the northern
growers, who are somewhat less ex-
perienced with the use of orchard
heaters than are the Californians.
In the opinion Of many government
men, county agents and others who
have come in contact with orchard
heating, it is, when properly con-
Quoted, entirely out of the expert
mental stage. Care, however, should
be taken to see that equipment is ad-
equate and of a type that will not
require too much attention or too
much labor in firing. During periods
of extreme cold unless heat can be
maintained thruout the cold hours it
is of little avail to light the heaters
and then be unable to keep them
supplied with fuel. Much of the sue
cess of orchard heating in Southern
California is attributed to the fact
that heaters are largely of type
that will burn all night without re-
filling.
Comparisons and reports from
Southern California are interesting
as orchard heating has probably been
carried to a greater stage of devel-
opment there than in any other part
of the world.
A few local apple growers are
planning to be prepared this year
to heat their orchards, should oc-
casion require. Almost without excep-
ton growers of soft fruits in this
valley plan to use heaters.

To aid the various communities of
the state in developing their resourc-

chamber of commerce, according to
w. B. Henderson, director of organ
ization. Mr.. Henderson was guest
of the local Commercial club at their
luncheon last Thursday, and outlined
the work of his organization.
Mr.. Henderson said that the state
chamber had committees in the field

We are hearing about the biggest
yield on the most wonderful trees in
north central Washington. These
stories to date all sound reasonable
and, to me, the thing l enjoy most is
the fact that the perpetrators OF
these stories are reliable men. Now,
growers and citizens of north central
Washington, here are some figures
for you to ponder over.
This year the state of Washington
has lost at least $4,OOO,OOO on cod
ling moth worm damage. 1t costs
about $4,000 to build one mile OF
good paved highway. Our worm loss
in 1926 would build paved highway
from Wenatchee to Oroville, or from
Pasco to Ellensburg, Or from Seattle
to Vancouver, Washington. Our loss
es in the past five years would build
all the paved highways in the state.
We lose three or four million dollars
on worms each year and we spend
about three hundred dollars year or
less in our efforts to devise means Of
getting rid Of the codling moth. In
fact, we as SIate are uoiiiE iio.he
except as follows:
About twenty years ago in a now
famous experiment that was con-
Quoted at Wenatchee it was shown
that a thoro calyx spray controlled
the worms in badly infested or
chard. This experiment was conducted
by the state college and it was an
nounced thru bulletins that a thoro
calyx spray would do the job. Since
then all orchardists have absolutely
failed to succeed with this method,
the state college has never been able
to duplicate this work in CONNER
cially successful manner and today
we are worse off than ever. Dr..
Melander of the state college has.

He is a forceful, rapid-fire talker
and the ideas he imparts are prac-

merchants overlook the necessity OF
keeping the advertising and sales de-

money on advertising to get people

claims advertising has performed it's
mission and they neglect the most
important thing-making the sale.
His mission is to instill into sales

Maryland and Massachusetts are
two States which would be able to

In many of the States disease rec

States would have to improve their
systems of recording diseases to he
