to the Evening News from Mel
bourne, Australia. today said that
anxiety for Captain Charles Kings
ford Smith and his three compan-
ions of the Southern Cross was be-
coming acute.
Reports that they had landed
safely near the Drysdale Mission
station could not be confirmed and
fears were expressed that the air.
men before sending out their final
message may have lost their way
and headed toward Darwin. where
the heavy rains would have made a
safe landing almost impossible.
Colonel Brinsmead. controller OF
civil aviation. who believes Port
George was the probable landing
place. says the country there is
very rough and as bad as anything
in the whole of Australia with very
few settlers in the district.
Rescue Plane Missed Them
The dispatch says a rescue plane
which was sent out yesterday took
the wrong route and was almost
certain to. miss the lost airmen. who
disappeared Sunday while en- route
from Sydney to Wyndham, West
Australia. as part Of flight to Eng
land.
Asked why the Royal Australian
air force had not joined any search
for the missing fiiers. Commodore
Williams replied they we're lacking
in trustworthy Information and had
not the faintest idea where to look.
Moreover, he said. there was no ma
chine ready to so out on such a
fight since the force was in the pro-
cess of being reequipped.
1t was believed that unless the
Southern Cross landed near settlers
their small supply Of food must
have become exhausted. The coun-
try is roadless and without even 80
much as tracks. Moreover, Captain
kingsford- Smith had not quite re-
covered from an attack of influenza
and told his cousin when he was
about to start that he was very
sick man.

CORN EAR WORM

Control Of the corn ear worm tor
the small vegetable garden may be
comparatively simple matter at
least for high degree OF control.
Where one is growing sweet corn
in the garden, one may mix UP one
pint of dry Arsenate of Lead to
three parts of air slaked lime. This
can then be put into cheese cloth
sack or some other thin material that
will allow the material to- dust out
when shaken hghtly.rA large shaker
could also be used to dust the ma
terial on the corn. One then goes
down the row Of corn and dusts the
tassels when they first appear and
the silk when it first shows, giving
each fairly good coating OF the
mixture. This will not interfere with
the pollination of the corn but will
leave enough of the dust on the silk
that the young worm after Matching
will be poisoned. It probably will be
necessary to make two or three APP
plicasions of the poison on the silk
as the different ears develop. One
should be able to get corn reasonably
free from damage by the ear worm
by this method.
On larger areas where field or
sweet corn is being grown and where
spray equipment is available, it
is possible to spray the corn with
the standard strength Of Arsenic
spray one pound to fifty gallons.
Corn sprayed, of course should not
be fed to livestock. Al small hand
sprayer might be used, spraying jus.
the ends of the ears and the tassel as
they develop. In using the small
hand spray, one can use one ounce
Of Arsenate of Lead to three gal
Ions Of water. We believe however
that the busting method for the small
patch is much more convenient and
just as effective.

OFF ON. ANOTHER VOYAGE


Two adventnrers, one,>a 90 year

noe traveller extraordinary, Amos
Burg, are today well on their way on
their 350O-nile canoe trip, which be

above Edmonton, through the great
Northwest territories to the Arctic

Burg will be remembered as tn
young canoeist who passed by White
Bluffs a few years ago aboard the
Song of the Wind on 1000 miles trip
down the Columbia from its head
waters up in Canada to the Pacific
ocean.
At the foot Of historic Mackenzie

voyage.
Both men are gathering data for

WATCHING PLANT CLOSELY

Sam Allard, operator in charge at
the Priest Rapids power plant, was
visitor in White Bluffs last Satur-
day, morning. He expected to be back
at the plant Saturday noon, this be-
ing the longest period he had been
away since the beginning Of the irri-
cation season The plant is over
twenty years old and, ike an old man,
is developing some infirinities. Sam
says he is keeping a close check on
everything and by the end of the ir-
rigation season expects to have a
pretty accurate record Of what will be
needed to put and keep the plant in
good serviceable condition.

APPLE CROP 17,pER CENT
SHORT Of LAST YEAR

Apples will not be, abundant this
year, according to John s. Dennee,
Federal Agricultural Statstician sta
toned at Seattle. A forecast just
made by the Crop Reporting Board
of the United States Department Of
Agriculture, based on information as
of July /, places the apple crop at 1884,
100000 bushels. Last year production
was 185, 743, 900 bushels. And the aver
of the preceding five years is 1881
$4,000 bushels.
Commercial production of apples
this year in the United States is esti-
mated at 1886, 900 barrels. Last year
the commercial crop amounted to
35,26S,c COO barrels, which followed
the record crop Of 1926, when 49,
10000 barrels were packed from tine
big crop of 246,524.0o0 bushels. The
five-year average is 80, 468,0o0 barrels.
The prospective sptal 1929 produc
ton is about II per cent smaller than
the 1928 crop, but about orie-fourth
larger than the 1877 crop. The out
look is particularly unpromising in
some of the important commercial
States, but the general shortage of
fruit supplies is expected to result
in rather close utilization of the apple
crop this year.
The Pacific NoSthwest States will
have around 6,2o7Noo boxes less thai.
last year. ~
In Washington the commercial crop,
according to the official estimate,
may be s,260, O00 barrels,--a decrease
of 1,740,0o0 barrels compared with
last year, when commercial production
was placed at 10000, 600 barrels. The
total crop is estimated at zs,35o,ooo
bushels against 33.5o0,o0o harvested
last year, and 2s,785, coo bushels, the
average the preceding five wears.

WILL DRILL FOR OIL IN
BENTON COUNTY FIELD

A determined effort is to be made,
according to reports published in Ben
ton and Yakima newspapers, to de-
terrnine the existence or non-exist-
ence of oil in the Benton county nat
ural gas field. S. M. Foster, reputed
to be the veteran of 1874 gas and oil
wells in Oklahoma and California
fields" has become interested in the
field in this county and upon his re-
turn recently from trip to Califor.
mia reported that he had succeeded
in interesting two drilling outfits ana
that in another 80 days one of the big
rotary drilling outfits weighing los
tons and capable of driving shaft
into the ground a distance of one
and half miles, and affording d.
a1neter at the top of the well Of from
IA to Is inches, will be on the ground
here ready to 60 to work.
AS quoted in the Sinnyside Sun,
Mr.. Foster said:
ours will not be the only outfit
drilling for oil in the district Repre-
sentatives of producing companies
both in Oklahoma and California who
have been here recently and looked
over the land, returned to their head
quarters to report that the prospects
for oil under the gas field are most
promising"
Having kept in close touch with
the development of the natural gas
in the district, Mr.. Foster contends
that every geological condition favor
able to the presence CT oil, is there.
cit is not more than IFS miles to
the large coal deposits in the Cas-
cade mountains. We already know
that gas is here in lirnitless quanti-
ties. The Columbia river, with no
mountains or hills between it and
the gas fields, complete the picture.
Without the river where it is, l
should say the outlook would not be
so bright
Gas, coal and oil are generally,
but not always. found in the same
vicinity, according to Mr.. Foster.
Mr.. Foster spent IL years with the
Standard Oil company, he said, and
displays familiarity with the Okla
homa ard California fields. His ex
perience as an operator, he said,
leads to the belief that oil in large
quantities will be found near enough
to Walla Walla to make this city 9
center of new prosperity in the south
east portion of the state.
The latest gas well brought in on
the property Of the Walla Walla Gas,
Oil and Pipeline company, for the
Northwestern Natural Gas company,
the Kansas corporation which recent
ly announced plans to market ths
gas in the Yakima Valley, is increas-
ing in production.
'That well proves that in an area
two miles by three miles in dimea-s
sions, one can drill toles and not
strike a dry well" Mr.. Foster stated.
''There are seven gas we'Is i'll this
area and ali are producers. I am sat
isfied that outside this area, also,
will be found gas, and at lower
levels, efl.' s 4
