TREES TOP WORKED TO
IMPROVE POLLINATION


During the past week a number
of trees have been top worked Tor
growers in several communities OF
the county for the purpose of inn
proving the pollination of solid
blocks of apples and pears which
lack pollination varieties. At the
T. A. Spratlen tract at White
Bluffs, 16 Winesaps were grated
to Rome Beauties. At the David
Zerwekh pear tract, between Han
ford and White Bluffs, 9 d'Anjous
were top worked to Bartletts. At
the L. A. Codding and Heideman
tracts north of White Bluffs, and
the Hawthorne tract north of
White Bluffs, Jonathans and Win
ter Bananas were put in as pollin-
izers for Winesaps. At the A. E.
Starkenbung tract, east of Pros
ser, 40 trees are being worked
over to Red Delicious with and oc-
casional tree grated to Jonathans
as pollinizers for the Red Delic-
ious. This tract is 10-acre tract
in which yield has been running
down since the Romes and Jona-
thans, which were near the ORCH
ard, were removed.

small granite pans last year at a
cost of about 13c to the grower.
The bait used may be apple
cider, one gallon; brown sugar, 1-2
pound; and one cake of yeast which
is diluted with four gallons of wa
ter after fermentation begins. Dia-
malt put out by the Fleishman's
Yeast Co. may be used according
to directions furnished by the COM
pany. A good grade of molasses
such as the Brer Rabbit or any
other such grade may be used by
diluting and using yeast in it to
start fermentation.
Traps will give much better re-
suits if supported on a pole with
side arm placed near the top of
the tree. Traps should be high and
should be on something rigid to
prevent their being swayed too
much by the wind. A couple Of
screw eyes and tied twisted cot
ton cord can then be used to raise
and lower the trap. 1t is very inn

USE MOTH TRAPS TO
DETERMINE SPRAY DATES

Whether the moth trap can be
used as direct control measure
for the codling moths may be a
debatable question, but there is no
question whatever as to its use as
an aid in determining spray dates.
Many farmers throughout the coun-
ty have used the moth trap for
one or two seasons and have found
that is is an excellent means of
determining just when the spray
should be put on. Through the aid
of the moth trap, one could figure
Just when the moths are Begin
ming to fly and then figuring ahead
10 days, being sure that sprays
are applied to cover this time.
Traps should he placed out over
the orchard and dependence placed
upon the moths caught in these
traps rather than moths caught in
traps Immediately about packing
sheds or near brush piles. Moths
emerge from about packing sheds
earlier than out in the open orch
ards.
For a few traps, ordinary five
pound lard pals dipped or painted
with asphaltum paint serve the
purpose very well. Where larger
number are used, a granite kettle
or pan of suitable size, depth and
diameter can probably be purchas-
ed to good advantage if purchased
in any quantity. A local dealer at
Kennewick was able to furnish

POTATO GROWERS CON-
FERENCE, WALLA WALLA

The Pacific Northwest Potato
Growers Association has arranged
for conference of potato grow
ers to be held in Walla Walla on
April IL and 13.
The purpose of this meeting is
to consider the organization of a
district potato organization and TO
elect officers and committeeman to
represent the local organization.
The furthering of the Pacific
Northwest Show held at Spokane
is also another matter coming up
before this meeting. Undoubtedly
other business factors as related
to the potato industry will be brot
up at this time.
The meeting will be called to
order by r. C. McCroskey, presi-
dent Of the Pacific Northwest Po-
tato Association, at / p. m. sharp
Friday, April IL. There will be an
evening session Friday evening at
1880 sharp at which time the prob
lens affecting the Pacific North
west Potato Show will be the main
topic for discussion. The program
on Saturday, will begin at a. m.
sharp and probably will be largely
a morning program.
We feel that potato growers of
this county should take an active
part in this meeting to he held at
the Commercial Club rooms at
Walla Walla, April IL and Is. The
county agent has a few circulars
giving various features leading up
to the meeting which we would
gladly send to any one interested.

three feet across and we all
thought it very pretty when it
turned red in the fall. The wind
broke it loose and hoped it over
the fence and it made a pretty
thrill for the children as they
watched it roll across the only
plowed field we had to the coulee.
The next spring that field was
sowed to oats and a thick green
line more than a foot wide lay
the field from back of the
garden to the coulee. We all got
seed from that field, and for many
years we could follow the paths

they finished their carpet. There

N0N-LAYERS,
GULL Them OUT

A red comb-prominent eyes
white thin shanks-a wide long
back, these things indicate the
layers in your flock and the ones
that will make you money. In
every flock there is the deadbeat,
says the midsummer number of
the Purina Poultryman in remind
ing the p%oultryman that he should
Gull his flock during August and
September.
Separating the short time lay
ers from the long time layers is
easy if the flock has been proper
ly fed" the magazine says in tell
ing the poultryman of his obliga-
ton.
The low egg producer can be
very easily detected by a few out
ward signs such as a pale, small
shriveled comb; yellow, dry vent;
dull sunken eyes; yellow, round
shanks. Pelvic bones that r
close together, hard and rigid also
indicate the low egg producer.
The hens body that is shallow
and tight from the pelvic bone to
the breast bone and that has a
narrow short back in most cases
is not a heavy layer.
Getting rid of those non layers
will be one of the biggest steps
you ever took toward getting

ARTESIAN WATER,
EASTERN MONTANA

Hundreds of comparatively shall
low wells flowing quantities of ex-
cellent drinking water in eastern
and central Montana are reported
in a reconnaissance water supply
survey made during the past sum-
mer for the Montana Bureau of
Mines and Geology located at
Butte by DR.. Eugene S. Perry,
head of the department of geology
at the School of Mines. The
study was undertaken by the state
Bureau Of Mines and Geology with
the object Of forecasting the pos
sibilities of artesian water in
areas now sadly lacking in suitable
water supply, according to DR..
Francis A. Thomson, president of
the School of Mines and director
of the bureau. The depths at
which the flowing water is OBJ
tanned varies from 100 to 500 feet
in most wells, and the locations
include practically every county
east of the Rocky Mountain front.
Although some of the wells show
considerable mineral content, it is
seldom high enough to prevent
use of the water for stock and
domestic purposes, and in a ma
jority of the wells the water is
of a very high quality.
The vaIue or these wells is
dustry. Cattle do not like ice cold
water such as creek water in the
winter time, and when forced to
drink it they often SILVER for
hours even on mild days. On the
other hand artesian water is warm
compared to creek water in the
winter, and it is not unusual that
stock will swim a river in order
to get a drink from an ~artesian
well located on the other side.
An artesian we'll is a favorite
loafing place for stock in the win
ter. Nevertheless, the great value
of this water as a domestic supply
for household use can not be over
estimated, and many of the wells
have pressure enough to force
water through water pipes into
second and third stories of build
ings.
This artesian supply of water is
intimately related to the rock
strata of the region. AS the
geological formations vary from
place to place so does the source
from which the water comes.
Hence the study of water supply
has been a large part a study of
geology. 1t has been found that
there are three main producing
horizons. These are from young
est to oldest % The Lance Form
alton (2) The Judith River Form
alton, and go The Kootenai or
Dakota Formation. The water
where found in these formations
is derived from sandstone, and
their distribution depends upon
the geological structure.
The flowing wells from the
Lance Formation are mainly in the
southeastern part of the state.
In Powder River county alone
nearly $50 wells obtain water in
the Lance. Most of them are less
than 500 feet in depth, although a
