NEWS AMONG SCANDINAVIANS

Carl B. Roden, chief librarian of the
Chicago Public Library, has arrived
at Stockholm, Sweden, where he found
occasion to pay a compliment to the
Swedish public library system which
he considers one of the most efficient
he has seen in Europe. Mr.. Roden
especially praised the reading rooms
Of some of the large libraries he had
seen in Sweden, but regretted that as
yet nothing very definite had been
done in regard to the establishment
of children's Libraries; this, he
thought, was a field worth cultivat-
ing. and he mentioned the success
which has marked the progress of this
branch of library service in~the Unit

MANY WOLVES ARE
KILLED IN COUNTY

According to the amount paid out
from the county auditors office for
wolf bounties, it is evident that these
animals are more plentiful or Pine
county hunters are more efficient than
they were a year ago.
A total of seven hundred dollars
was paid out during the month of
September, which means that thirty
five wolves were killed in the county
during that time.
Last year only two hundred sixty
dollars was paid out for wolf bounties
during September, covering a total of
thirteen wolves killed.

COMMERCIAL HOTEL
has new OWNER

The Commercial hotel in White
Bluffs changed hands this week, F.
G. Bergen of Bellingham. an ex-
perienced hotel man, having pur-
chased the property from j. II.
Cole. The purchase includes the
three lots on the corner, the hotel
building and furniture and fixtures
the grocery and meat market and
ice plant and the room occupied as
an office by the Pacific Power &
Light company. Mr.. Cole took in
as part Of the purchase price, an
eight room dwelling in Bellingham.
The new owner took charge Thurs
day. MIR. Cole says that he does
not expect to leave White Bluffs
but that he and Mrs. Cole willrent
a house in town, for the summer,
at least. Mrs. Robinson will re-
main with them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cole took over the
hotel shortly after the towns re-
moval from the river, and during
the years in which they have had
charge Of the business they have
made many changes and improve
ments. Both Mr.. and Mrs Ber..
gen have pleasant personalities and
will, undoubtedly, keep the stand
ard of the hotel up with the
growth of the town and community.

FARMERS GO ABROAD

Five hundred farmers from the
United States will 60 to Europe this
summer to study agriculture there,
says the Yakima Herald. The fact
that the trip is to be made does not
mean that our system Is inferior to
that of the continent, measured by
general standards. Taken as whole
American farming has been regarded
as the most advanced in the world.
Nations in Europe and elsewhere have
sent representatives here to study it.
What is emphasized by this inter-
change of information is that no
country is leader in all phases Of
agriculture, that each has originated
or applied features worthy of atten-
ton.
Denmark will reveal to the Ameri-
cans an admirable system of irriga-
ton. Germany has much to teach
about reforestation and terracing.
Both Denmark and Germany have be-
come expert in waste land rcclama-
ticn. Denmark is known also for pro-
ficiency in meat packing and egg
packing. Holland is leader in large
scale drainage. England and France
have carried landscape gardening
nearer perfection than probably any
other country. In many European
countries soil fertility has been main
tanned at high degree, despite culti-
vation of the land for more than 1000
years. Vegetable gardening is con-
Quoted in manner highly satisfac-
tory in results.
On the side of conservation and
production, Europe's methods thus
are not valueless to the farmers oi
the United States, although diff
ference in conditions may prevent the
adoption. Of some of it's policies. Others
however, can be modified, and made
dividend producers, just as Europeans
have used different agricultural Gus
toms. Naturally the Americans will
study with unusual interest coopera-
tive marketing developments in the
regions they visit. In the Scandina-
Wan countries, and in some other re-
gions on the continent, joint buying
and selling by farmers has been very
successful.
Seven countries will be visited, and
trips made to forty-three cities and
towns. In all there will be 9450 miles
of travel by water, rail and motor
car, extending over sixty Gays. The
trip will be marked by meetings with
European agricultural leaders and
government officials whose work is
related to farming. The United States
departments of agriculture and the
American Farm Bureau Federation
have joined in arranging the visit.
Farmers in forty-five of the forty
eight states will be included in the
group Of 500. The cont acts made and
the information CLEANED arc bound to
have influence.

BELIEVED TO Be MAX PRlEBE

Mr.. and Mrs. John Goldbeck, of
this city, received word the first Of
the week that Mack Kriebe, brother
of Mrs. Goldbeck, had died in Alaska.
The remains will be shipped to Ro-
chester, Minnesota, for burial. Mr..
Kriebe was at one time a resident
here, being a carpenter by trade. He
helped build the Masonic hall, the M.
F.. church, the John Logan residence,
and number of other buildings in
this city. He is brother also of
Mrs. c. w. Frederickson, of Govan,
Washington. Mrs. Goldbeck and Mrs.
Frederickson have not decided wheth-
er they will 60 back for the funeral.
Just how long it will take for the
body to reach Rochester is not
known.-Waterville Empire Press.
1t is believed that this item refers
to Max Priebe, who came to White
Bluffs from Waterville in the early
days and built the Shanaiian and
Gilhuly residences, Grange hall and
several other buildings in the town
when it was located on the river. He
left here several years ago for Alaska.

MolAssEs ATTRACTS MOTHS

Diluted molasses ferment has
proved to be the best attractant IN
experiments with codling moth traps
conducted by M. A. Yothers Of the
United States bureau of entomology.
This ferment is prepared by adding
one part of molasses to 10 parts OF
water. To this is added one cake
of yeast to each gallon of diluted mo-
lasses.
A preparation nearly as good is
made by cooking five pounds of ap-
pies put through food chopper in
two gallons of water and two to
three pounds Of brown sugar. To this
is added five cakes of yeast.
These bats are ready to use as soon
as prepared. The best container is
small enameled kettle about eight
inches in diameter and three inches
deep. Bait vessels placed in the tops
of the trees will catch many times
as many moths as when placed at
the height Of the tree crotches.
While some moths will be caught
when the bait is stale, the greatest
numbers will be caught in the fresh
bait. The bait will require replace
Fraent eycryaseyen days on account Of
evaporation and the accumulation OF
many kinds of insects. One bait yes
sci in each tree seems to be sufffi-
cient.
Thousands of codling moths may
be captured by the use of molasses
ferment or apple ferment bats in
badly infested orchards. Most of the
moths are captured in the tops of the
trees. A little more than half OF
the moths captured are females.
About o5 per cent of the female cod
ling moths are captured before they
have laid any or very few of their
eggs.
About half of the expense Of oper-
ating the traps is the item of labor
in preparing the bats, putting up the
vessels and replenishing the bats.
The use of trap bats at present is
not recommended as anything more
than a supplementary control meas
ure, such as scraping the tree, band
ing, and destroying infested fruit Mr..
Yothers said.

Definite SPRAY DATES
FIXED BY DIST. HORT. HILL

In a long distance telephone con.
versation with the Spokesman, Wed.
nesday morning, District Horticultur.
alist, e. E. Hill, of Prosser, said; (;
"The first cover spray should be
completed by May "a. Four pounds
Of lead in a 200 gallon tank Is suf-
ficient. The following dates are
recommended for the cover sprays for
the first brood Of worms and the
spray should be complete on the dates
given:
First cover spray May "a,
Second cover spray June 4,
Third cover spray June Is.
Fourth cover spray June 2s.
If thorough work has been done,
this should complete the spraying for
the season. If anyone finds con-
siderable amount of worms in the or
chard on July l, or if anyone has
left off his cover calyx spray, would
advise one cover spray for the second
brood near July 20 to July rs. In practi-
cally all cases this should complete
the codling moth spray"

NATIONS FRUIT CROP
PROSPECTS NOT GOOD

Fruit crop prospects in most partt
of the United States have been re.
dnced by late frosts, heavy freezes
and the failure of apple trees generally
to have a very heavy set of blossoms
especially those that bore a large
crop last year, according to review
of the situation by the federal bureau
of agricultural economics.
While it is conceded that it is yet
too early to make a reliable estimate,
the set of fruit during the fore part
Of May indicated a crop generally
over the United States close to the
five year average, although falling
considerably below the bumper crops
of 20 and '26. There is hardly an
important state where prospects are
as good as they were at this ime last
year. In Washington, frost damage
has made large inroads into the soft
fruit and there has been some damage
to apples, particularly the early
blooming varieties, but in the higher
attitudes the crop generally escaped
severe damage, probably due to the
fact that the buds had not developed
far enough to be injured. The set
however, in these districts was not as
heavy as last year, which will have
its effects in the yield. 1t is also re-
ported that growers in these districts
are just finding but that there has
been more damage from the freeze
than was at first believed, and it
seems probable that the total pro-
duction will be much lower than first
estimates.
East of the Rockies, there has been
more or less damage from northern
Georgia, north and central Pennsyl-
vania and west to Missouri and Ar
kansas. With the exception of some
of the western | and southwestern
mountain regions of Virginia and
some portions of West Virginia, the
destruction Of fruit blossoms appears
to have been nowhere complete, but
early blooming varieties, in many
cases have been quite seriously in
jured. In Virginia there seems little
probability that the apple crop will
exceed two-thirds of last years heavy
production.
In the Priest Rapids Valley the
fruit has developed far enough SO that
growers can get fairly accurate
idea of the probable yield and 1t is
not very encouraging In some Of the
orchards back from the river, growers
have found that the set of fruit is so
small that it will not pay them to
spray, while in the orchards nearer
the river, the prospects are better al
though in only very few cases is
there anything like fair crop. Even
in these orchards the crop is spotted.
Some trees will have fair set Of
apples while the trees next to them
will be almost barren. This makes
spraying difficult problem. One
grower has figured out practical
plan for meeting this condition, by
spraying only the trees where there
is a suffient set of fruit to justify
the expense and to cut off the apples
on the trees with a light set.

SALMON SEASON NOW ON

The dams in the Yakima river at
The Horn and at Prosser are meccas
now for many carloads of visitors
daily, especially Sundays, fascinated
by the sight of the Indians spearing
the salmon on it's way to the spawn
ing grounds in the upper reaches Of
the river. The Indians gather an
nually at these places for the fish
harvest and though few fish have been
caught yet, due to high water, they
expect heavy run this spring. The
whites are forbidden by law to take
the salmon at this season but the
Indians, through treaty made many
years ago with Governor Isaac
Stephens, of the State Of Washington,
are permitted to take what they need
for food.
