Facts for Farmers
WATCH YOUR ASPARAGUS


For several years now it has
been known that the asparague
beetle was to be found in the Yak
lima valley, but the first specimens
that the county agent has located
in the lower valley were found
last week and the fore part of
this week in three different
places. This would indicate that
they were becoming rather widely
scattered and we suggest that the
growers check asparagus fields
occasionally to determine whether
this beetle is present and if so, to
plan for control measures. Spec
linens of the insect have been left
at the Courier Reporter office
where those wishing to identity
the insect may do so. A small twip
showing the characteristic injury
due to the insect has been left in
the jar and one should watch
first for this injury which is the
removal of the green bark from
the growing top so that the tops,
especially up near the terminal
ends, look yellow and often the
fine leaves have fallen.
We understand that there were
fields in Sunnyside which were not
cut at all this year due to damage
by this insect. Control during the
earlier growing season is to allow
a few stalks of asparagus to grow,
spraying them from time to time
with an arsenate spray thus pois-
oning the insects. Where the in
sect is found present at this time
of the year, the adult feeding up
on the tops, one should take steps
to spray Immediately
Arsenate Of lead, the same
strength as used for orchard
spray may be used as a control
measure. Spraying done imediately
we believe would get many Of
these adults before egg laying
takes place and thus be much more
effective than if used later. If
the entire field is badly affected,
it is a question whether control
meaurses can be applied at all 1t /
this season Of the year.

Landmark of Virginia
Is Old Church Tower

The traveller who wanders into
jamestown, in Virginia, will see
there the ruins of an old brick tow.
er, surrounded by wire fence, and
having the appearance of an an
cient age. And 1t Is ancient, too.
for 1t has stood on this spot for
almost 300 years. II was not al
ways SO lonely, though, for when II
was erected II was part OF church,
one Of the first churches erected In
America by English settlers In the
New world.
1t was erected In 1885 by the
early Virginia settlers and was
built on the very spot where Capt.
John Smith. that famous explorer,
had built wooden one some years
previous. This early church was
the one In which Pocahontas, the
Indian maid and daughter Of Pow
hatan. was married to John Rolf In
1914. The new church was large
one for the times. II was built en-
drely Of brick and of wood taken
from the dense forests, and the
tower that stands there today was
placed at the entrance,
The times were troublous In the
Virginia of 300 years ago, and when
the white men were not fighting the
Indians they would often fight
among themselves. And so about
% years after the church had been
completed Nathaniel Bacon and his
soldiers rebelled against the author
fty Of the governor. marched on
jamestown and burned the town
and the church. Nothing of the lat.
ter remains today except the ruined
tower. an object of beauty In its old
age, and one visited by thousands
of people every year.
