Combination Spray, Used Here Since 1926
NOz0 RecciUes OK. From Experiment Station

Matching point, killing most of
them. When this system is fol-
lowed thruout the season, five well
timed applications give better re-
suits than eight or nine at ram
dom, saving the orchardist con-
siderable expense Mr.. Spuler
stressed that the grower must
have equipment sufficient to cover
his orchard in three or four days
under the new system, must not
place too much dependence on con-
troll of the first brood and must
never let the moths get start
on him.
"The cost of combination spray
is considerably more than that of
lead alone and suggested pro-
gram Of lead arsenate and oil in
the first cover, lead only in the
second, third and fourth covers and
oil-nicotine sulphate in the fifth
and sixth spray would cost in the
neighborhood Of $500 per 100 gal
Ions in six covers for materials.
One hundred gallons of spray will
cover approximately four trees.
The combination spray program
would cost SO cents per tree and
lead alone, As cents. However,
the combination is from so to rs
per cent more effective in worm
control, will control red spider and
to some extent aphis and scale.
When these factors are consider
ed, the gain in clean fruit will
more than offset the extra cost of
the spray materials"
This identical program, says
Green, has been followed in many
districts by the more progressive
farmers, with this difference:
traps are placed in the orchards

WASHINGTON HENS
MAKE EGG RECORD
Lay $4,000 Miles a Year; Growth
of Industry Greater Than
Others in 10 Years

Another nonstop around-the-
world record was unearthed re-
Gently with the announcement from
the office of the state department
of agriculture that there were
100000 cases of eggs produced by
Washington's hens during 1928.
When this figure was released
the office mathematician grabbed
his pencil and after five minutes
Juggling of figures reappeared and
made the flat statement that the
hens of Washington were laying
enough eggs each year to form a
band around the world-a distance
of $4,000 miles-by placing the
eggs end to end. Sounds odd? No.
just allow 2 1-2 inches for the
length of the average egg; there
are thirty dozen to case. A few
strokes of the pencil will give you
the same answer with few mill
lion extra.
Production figures over period
of ten years show that the poul-
try industry has made more rapid
growth in the state of Washington
than any other agricultural in
dustry.
Approximately 6,750,O00 hens
were raised in 1928 as compared
with 3,17S,000 for 1919, according
to figures released by the states
director of agriculture. The value
of the fowls marketed in 1923
jumped to s4,3SO,000 as compared
with S2,800,000 for 1919.
This phenominal growth says
the director of agriculture, is
largely due to the superior quail
ity of both poultry and eggs pro-
duced in the state. 1t is reflected,
too, in the egg production. Sta
tistics show that there were q
300, 900 cases of eggs produced with
value of $24,OO0,00 in 1928 sas
compared with 500, 900 cases val
ued at So, ,432, 900 in 1919.
Poultry now ranks fifth in inn
portance of agricultural products
of the state with production to-
tai of S2S, $3.50, 600. The year 1929
will boost the total, it is estimat-
ed.

COMMITTEE READY
Summers Says Appropriations for
Farmer Will be Recommended

With the Agricultural Appro-
priations Committee having prac-
tically completed its discussions
with the department of Agricul-
ture on every activity in behalf Of
the farmer and having considered
the testimony of many other wit
nesses, they are now ready to pre-
sent their bill before the House Of
Representatives at an early date.
This announcement was made today
by Congressman John w. Sum-
mers, who for many years has
been member of this important
committee.
Not only did the committee hold
hearings on subjects that affect
every square mile of the United
States but it also devoted much
time to the state of Washington
and its varied agricultural activ-
tiles. Wheat, dairying, poultry,
farming, numbering, conservation
and hundreds of other items af-
fecting the state were taken up.
Now with the hearings practic-
ally completed, the committee will
recommend an appropriation of
some $163, ,00O,000 to Congress to
permit the agricultural interests
to carry out their work. Federal
aid roads and largely increased
sums for forest activities are in
cluded in the appropriation.
Although the agricultural ap-
preparations committee is one of
the most important committees in
the House of Representatives, it
is committee which receives very
little picturesque publicity. This
is partly due to the voluminous,
dry, detailed matters with which
that body is forced to deal. They
are known in Washington as the
wood saving Committee" in view
of the tremendous amount of work
that revolves around them.
Commenting on the work accom-
plished by the committee, Con-
gressman Summers said today,
"We are well pleased with the re-
suits of our work. Washington
should receive many benefits as
the result of our investigation as
we have carefully gone into every
phase of agriculture of that and
other states"

FIGURES ON KILLERS

An interesting, though somewhat perpexng set of figures is that compiled each year by Dr. F. L. Hoffman, 8 leading insurance statcian, showing the number of homicides occurring in various cities of the United States
 Figures for 1928 were recently made public cover ing about 3600000 inhabitants of 136 cities Among individual cities Memphis leads in killings with 605 per 100000, whle the rate for Los Angeles was only AZ Of the territorial possessions Alaska the lowest with less than halfdozen for it's approximately 50000 inhabitants Chicago'e rate only 1858 and New Yorks f9r below the countrys average being but 67 per 100000 inhabitants
 Dr. Hoffman estimates that in the whole United States there about 12OO0 hocdes in 1928 while probably less than 200 killers executed. Which n lustraes that murder is fairly safe occupation far as danger of the death penalty is concerned.
