NEW AIR BASE PROMISES
 MUCH FOR ANCHORAGE
Anchorage Times.)

Anchorage is to be placed on the map as an air base. Within the next few weeks the city will possess one of the best airplanes obtainable in the United States, and before the flying season is really under way the first machine will be followed by a com- panion ship. This will form the nu- cleus of the flying fleet, the size of which will increase as rapidly as busi- ness can be developed, and Anchorage will be able to provide the best of aerial transportation to any section of the Territory. It is intended, how ever, to feature fights to westward points and to the Kuskokwim and Iditarod districts, which are easily ac- cessible from,AEchorage.
 Investigations and planning which have been under way during the last several months, took definite form at . meeting of local citizens last even- ing, when the sum of $16,OOO was pledged to launch the enterprise and articles of incorporation discussed. It is the intention to capitalize at $25,- and it is thought that the additional 5000 needed to absorb all of the ad- ditional stock will be obtained within the next few days. There is sufficient already available to put one plane in operation, and the details of incor- poration will be completed at another meeting to be held soon.
 The first plane already has been or dered from the Travel Air Manufac- turing Company, of Wichita, Kansas. It is known as a Travel Air Cabin plane, standard type used by some of the largest transport lines in the States. It has ample room for fou,

passengers and pilot and consider able quantity of freight, in addition.
 The plane will be motored with q Wright Whirlwind engine of 2OO- horsepower, air-cooled and capable of developing a maximum speed of 120 miles an hour. The engine has nine cylinders, radial design, which in- sures maximum of efficiency in opera ton and minimum of cost and trouble in making repairs.
 The cabin of the plane is comfort ably furnished, and the complete en- closure of the passenger compartment eliminates annoyance from wind, while the view is unobstructed.
 The services of Russell Merrill have been tngaged as pilot. He is a flyer of long experience and has spent two seasons in Alaska. Two years ago he piloted a plane from Seattle to Sew ard, and during the last season he has been flying very successfully in South eastern Alaska. He will have charge of flying operations, assisted by other pilots to be engaged as required by expansion of service.
 The men responsible for the new enterprise are Gus Gelles, A. A. Shen- beck and Alonzo Cope, and they are named incorporators for purposes of organization. MT. Cope is a mechanic and he will have charge of the work e. keeping the panes in working, order. He is at present in the States looking after details there and is making substantial investment in the snter- prise.
 Others whose names appear on the list as incorporators are: Oscar An derson, John M. Collins, A. D. Balder- ston, Robert s. Brogax. Jr- Peter Olson, Fred Parsons.
 It is tn eintention to zse Lake Spe- nard for landing purposes in connec- tion with flights to westward POmtS. where it will be necessary to land on water. Pontoons will be kept at the lake to be attached to the planes when needed. This arrangement also will require a landing field at the require a landing neh at the lake and it is possible the company will conduct all of it's flying operations from that point.

places"
In the course of events, we are
once more approaching the season
when we must consider control
measures for the San Jose scale.
There are two major factors in
this problem. One is the necessity
of thoro annual dormant spraying
to kill any scale that may be in
the orchard. The other is the need
of cleaning up neglected orchards
and other sources of infestation.
The spraying comes first. You
can do lot toward making a
thoro job of it by getting your
pruning done early. That will give
you time to do careful and thoro
spraying. | believe these last-min-
ute jobs result in a lot of scale.
Spraying for scale ought to
start as soon after March l as
the weather and the ability to get
water will allow. It ought to start
sooner than that in the Kennewick
district. In early seasons, like 1925
and 1926, it was too late for eff
fective and safe spraying about
Yakima by the last week of March.
The season of 1927 may be late,
but it may not be, and there is no
harm in getting the spraying done
early. Late spraying often cuts
the size of the crop, especially if
the weather warns up, and this

Petition for County Aid
in Combating Or
chard Pest

Petitions are in circulation this
week and being freely signed, call
ing on the county commissioners
to declare an emergency and pro-
vide fund to do battle against
the ravages of the San Jose scale.
The item for cleanup work was
dropped from the budget at the
time of its adoption last fall, leav-
ing no money available with which
to do this much needed work.
For some reason the San Jose
scale appeared in large numbers
turnout the fruit growing sections.
In this district, which has been
exceptionally free from this pest,
heavy damages resulted and the
growers are becoming alarmed.
All the fruit houses report heavy
cullage due to scale. .
Ia "Unless a thoro cIean-up is
made this spring heavy damages
are sure to result" is the opinion
of H. w. Desgranges, manager of
the Big Y. "The cullage due to
scale in this house this year a
mounted to more than the COM
bined cullage from this source
for the past thirteen years. The
damage in some orchards resulted
as high as rs per cent. 1t is a
matter that calls for prompt and

rapidly and is very destructive

applies to lime-sulphur as well
as to oil.
/ believe the question of wheth-
er to use oil or lime-sulphur de-
ponds more or less on the pests
to be controlled. If only the San
Jose scale is to be considered
there is very little choice. A four
per cent lime-sulphur or a four
per cent oil spray will do the
work. The lime-sulphur is some
what more standardized and per-
haps more dependable. If you
want to control the aphis or red
spider on apples or pears, as well
as the scale, by all means use a
dormant oil spray. 1t will give
much better results than the lime
sulphur. .
If you have blister-mite on pears
OF apples, lime-sulphur will be
much better than oil. And it should
be put on before the buds have
started to open or it will be too
late to control the blister-mite.
j. The best dormant spray to use
on peaches is lime-sulphur. for US
ually the peach worm has to be
considered as well as the scale. It
is controlled very easily with lime
sulphur but not with oil. For APP
his, add nicotine sulfate to the
lime-sulphur. i.,z ~ II.

Probably we will always have
the neglected, scaly orchard with
US. 1t is against our American
natures to insist on strict law en-
forcement. / know of one instance
where the growers Immediately adj
joining such an orchard have done
their best to get it cleaned up,
while other growers living miles
away, and not directly affected,
Are inclined to sympathize with the
owner of the orchard. We have
these neglected orchards which
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1927-01-13

the state authorities are unable to
clean up, on account of lack of
funds and lack of moral support.
They usually get more criticism
than praise when they start in.
We also have the trees on city
lots. Many of these have been cut
down in recent years, but plenty
are left. Of course, a city ordi-
nance requires the spraying of
these trees, at least in Yakima.
But that does not control the scale.
And the man who does the spray
ing is too often criticized, rather
than the owner of the trees. Most
of these trees are not pruned at
all, and many of them are tucked
in between buildings or with may
be a vegetable garden around them
that the owner objects to having
trampled. And if they are cherry
trees, they run up to the sky.
No man, however, conscientious,
can spray trees thoroly under such
conditions. And the result is scale,
and lots of it.
Owners of fruit trees in cities
should realize that the possession
of these trees imposes a civic duty
upon them.
The most satisfactory way to
fight these late infestations is to
spray your own orchard thoroly
with dormant spray, and to do
all you can to help get the sources
of outside infestation cleaned up.

Won need spiritual food as well as
physical food. Our Sunday School

Bobbing for apples in a tub of
water or suspended by strings from
a doorway is an old pastime, but al
ways creates merriment.
Tell fortunes by three bowls or
saucers. If the hand of the blind
folded person touches the bowl of
clear water he-or she-will marry
a young person; if he touches the
milky or darkened water, a widow or
widower; if the empty dish, spinster-
hood or bachelorhood is probable.
Another Interpretation is that the
clear water denotes marital happi-
ness, the murky water domestic in
felicity and the empty dish single
blessedness.

A more modern diversion is a jack
o. lantern garden to which all march,
two by two, in follow the leader
style through the halls and rooms of
the house out the door and about the
rooms of the house out the door and
about the grounds until they come
to the garden. In the garden are
short sticks about 18 inches high
wrapped in orange paper with loose,
fluttering, fringy ends all standing
in rows like plants. On top of each
stick is a small pumpkin or red apple
jack o. lantern lighted with a birth
day candle.
Each person chooses stick from
the garden which, when unwrapped,
is found to contain a fortune telling
favor, such as the thimble, wishbone
and four-leaf clover for luck, money
for wealth, a ring for the one first
to marry, small brush for an artist,
a pen for a novelist, a bachelors
button, a tiny crooked stick for the
flirt, and so on.
This same plan can. of course, be
worked out indoors which might be
desirable especially if the night is
