TIME NOW TO
BEGIN SPRAY
Horticulturist Says Dorm
ant Spray should be put
on At Once

1t is now time to apply the dor
mant spray to your orchards, says
District Horticultural Inspector E.
E. Hill, and this work should be car
ried forward as rapidly as possible
to prevent any spray damage to the
fast developing buds.
Where scale is present alone the
orchardist has the choice of either
oil spray Or lime sulphur, the oil
spray applied at per cent strength
is somewhat cheaper than the 10 per
cent lime sulphur. these being the
minimum amounts recommended by
the best authorities and the only
strength likely to control this pest.
The four per cent oil solution will
control aphis and red spider, and also
destroy most of their eggs.
Where Blister Mite and pear or
twig miner of peach is present lime
sulphur is the recommended spray.
In many of the orchards in this
district the apple tree leaf roller is
becoming very serious pest, and ev-
cry effort must be made to control
this dangerous pest. To know what
this pest can do, one need only to
visit orchards in the Spokane district
where the full danger was not rea-
lized soon enough. Eight per cent oil
solution must be used to control leaf
roller, this being the only spray
found effective against it so far.
Some of the orchardists realized
what damage was being done prior
to 1924 and applied oil as dormant
spray, sufficiently strong to almost
eradicate it at that time, and in
these orchards almost no egg masses
can be found this spring, showing
that control can be had by thoro and
proper application of oil spray.
All fruit trees and shade trees in
town must be sprayed where scale
or other pests are present, and
thoro check will be conducted to see
that spraying regulations are COM
piled with. This will be done in or
der to protect the fruit industry in
this section. The horticultural depart
ment hopes for the heartiest coop
Grafton from the townspeople in this
matter. The above recommendations
as to the kind of spray and the
strength of the solution applies to all
kinds of deciduous trees, and it is
left to the owners of these small
blocks of trees to use the most con-
venient and economical spray Eor
their particular problem.

WEATHER MAN
is ON THE JOB
A. w. Cook, Meteorologist,
Here to Start Work on
Frost Warnings

A. w. Cook, meteorologist with the
United States weather bureau SER
vice, arrived this week from Califor-
MIA and has begun his work Of warn
ing fruit growers Of impending tenn
peratures. Thirteen stations will be
established for recording the tenn
peratures in this immediate locality
and two stations will be put in at
Richland.
Mr.. Cooks services were secured
by the agricultural committee from
the local Commercial club, which is
paying the actual expenses of the
work, while the federal department
Of agriculture stands good for the
salary.
The stations being installed by Mr..
Cook consist Of Is thermographs
which register the exact tempera-
ture at each location and also min
imum registering thermometers. They
will be scattered over the various or
chards and thru the valley and from
their readings, records will be Sc
cured upon which to base the fore
casts.
Mr.. Coola figures that the low tenn
perature area will be in the Valley
near the Higley place and the key
station will be located there.
The forecasts are for the benefit
of all the growers in this section of
the county and will be furnished free
to those who call the local telephone
central office between 7:30 and 8
each night when the estimated low
temperature will be given.

nified their intentions of attending.
Preparations are being made by local
lodgemen to care for about three
hundred people.
District Deputy Brallard, of Moose

FARMERS WILL
HAVE HEATERS
Local Orchardists Show In
'terest in Protection of
Prospective Fruit Crop

With the arrival in Kennewick of
A. w. Cook, weather forecaster Sc
cured by the commercial club, in
creased interest in the work of broad
casting the frost warnings will be
taken, not only by the growers who
have heated in the past but by the
numerous other growers who are u.s.
ing the heater method of insurance
for the first time this year. Accord.
ing to dealers handling the orchard
heaters, there has been a great de-
mand this year as a result of condi-
tions in the valley year ago when
the value of heating was clearly
shown.
Apricot buds which have not been
winter killed are far enough along
now to warrant heating this week and
plans are under way to start the
smudging at once, should occasion
require. 1t is reported that in addi-
tion to the numerous cars of coal
and briquet fuel already on the farms
that fourteen cars of oil have been
placed in various parts of the Yak
ina Valley to be used in the combat
against Jack Frost.
Thruout the Yakima Valley it is
estimated that fully rs per cent of
the soft fruit acreage has been equip
ped to heat and probably 25 per cent
of the apple orchards, principally the
Delicious variety, will be heated
should low temperatures prevail.

MASON-DIXON
LINE SLIDES UP
Seattle Papers Give Local
Exhibits of Southern
Crops much Publicity

The Kennewick Commercial club
last week sent display of Kenne-
wick grown cotton, peanuts, sweet
potatoes, Spanish sweet onions and
several other crops commonly Anown
in the south, to the headquarters Of
the state Chamber of Commerce in
Seattle, where they were awarded the

Seattle papers all gave the exhibit
publicity and the P-I. has the fol-
lowing to say:
Gone from its familiar haunts is
the Mason-Dixon line-slid away up
north o. forty-five, to include Ken
newick, Pasco and way points in the
Columbia river basin.
And it's no slight of hand perform
ance either, as visit to the basin
cities will prove; for mid Washing
tonians have stolen the Southerners'
stuff, smashed the traditional bar
riers of climate and raised cotton,
con and yams on the banks Of the
nightly Columbia.
Samples of the sections prowess
in agriculture are shown in the win
dows of the Washington State Cham
Der of Commerce headquarters, 702
Third avenue. Cotton, just like Old
Black Joe used to pick, and peanuts
on the vine comparable to the best
products of the Piedmont Belt are
there, to say nothing of the sugar
sweet yams, hitherto thot exclusive
to the South.
Walnuts, Bermuda onions and corn
also are on display. The entire lot
was grown last year near Kennewick,
and proves conclusively that Wash
ington is one of the best "all-around"
states in the Union, ID. o. Lively, sec
retary Of the state chamber, declared.
The exhibit was gathered and pre-
pared by Omar w. Rich and consisted
of the following products: Cotton,
grown and matured by c. G. Camp
bell; peanuts, Louis Coulson and M.
Bens; sweet potatoes, Calvin Rorick
and II. N. Ashby; Spanish sweet on
ions, c. E. Duffy; Melted Gem po-
tatoes, George Eggers; English wal

FORCED RAIL UNITY
MOVE IS OPPOSED
Heads of Great Systems Be-
lieve u. S. Should Only En-
courage Consolidation.
nv the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, January 1.-Consolida-
alton of the railways should be en-
couraged by the Government, but
should not be made compulsory, ac-
Cording to the consensus of opinions
Of the presidents of several large
railroads as made public by the Rail
way Age. The heads of the railroads
also said that it is undesirable from
the point of efficient management that
all lines should be combined into a
small number of huge systems.
Carl r. Gray, president of the Union
Pacific system, said he believed con-
solidation will be advanced if per
mitted on logical and not forced on
arbitrary lines. and that his concern
was that there will be tendency to
create units of such magnitude as to
be unwjeldy and inefficient
About - naturally formed systems
now perform about 50 per cent of
the railroad transportation business.
Samuel Rea, president of the Penn
Sylvania Railroad said. The task of
the future. he said, ought to be to
tie the various remaining lines into
these important systems.
Consultations are desirable where
properties integrate well with one
another. but should not be carried to
the point where units become un-

while w. J. Harahan of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio, favored a certain
