DORMANT SPRAY
SHOULD BE APPLIED

It. is rumored throughout the
district that the extremely low
temperatures last winter killed all
of the San Jose scale and that some
growers are intending to omit the
dormant spray. While the scale
mortality was heavy, those that
survived the winter, if not con-
trolled by a dormant spray, will be
sufficient to seriously infest the
orchard by harvest time. E. j.
Newcomer, federal entomologist at
Yakima, states that if only / to
2 percent of the over-wintering
scale are alive, and no control mea-
sures applid, seriously infested
orchard may be expected at har-
vest.
Actual count of scale taken from
orchards in Benton county show
from 5 to 80 percent of the over
wintering scale survived the win
ter, varing with the winter tenn
peratures experienced. 1t follows,
then, that unless the dormant
spray is applied the district may
expect to harvest many crops Of
scaley fruit this fall.
If lime and sulphur is used as
the dormant spray, use at least 4
degrees Baume test g degree
Baume in case of heavy infesta-
tion.) II the stock solution tests
SO degrees Baume, use % to "a
gallons to a 200 gallon tank to
make spray testing 4 degrees
Baume. Where oil is the dormant
spray, use an emulsion containing
4 percent actual oil. This may be
obtained by adding 9 LIZ to 10 gal
Ions of commercial oil containing
SO percent actual oil to 200 gal
Ion tank.
With everyone doing his part by
applying the dormant spray, be-
ing thorough in APPLICATION, with
special attention given to covering
the tips Of the branches, losses
from damages by this pest can be
materially decreased over that ex-
perienced last year, says Doyle B.
Starcher, district horticultural In
spector.

Information Of Value
in Old-Time Scrapbooks

Keeping a scrapbook Is nothing like
as common as 1t once was, but still
a lot Of folks cling to the old-time prac-
tice of preserving newspaper clippings,
bits Of poetry and other items OF In
terest in this way. How the scrap
book hobby started no one appears to
know, but for generations 1t has been
customary to save things for ready
reference.
The time was when nearly every
body kept scrapbook, and no doubt
many filled volumes could he uncov-
cred, hidden away among things sell
dom seen or used. The old-time
scrapbook was called upon to settle
many an argument. for often the
scrapbook contained matter of con-
troversial nature. In the old days 1t
was nothing uncommon for public
speaker to run afoul of chronic
scrapbook keeper.
Often the keeper of scrapbook
specialized in preserving matter Of a
certain kind, and the practice still Is
kept up. Scrapbooks Of that type may
be filed with a lot Of valuable infor-
nation pertaining to specific SUBJ
ject. Often q scrapbook kept for a
lifetime is an index to the character
of the keeper, and In that way de-
scendants have learned more Of their
forebears.-Louisville Courier-Journa

Mayor William F. Broening last
week announced his candidacy for
Governor. It is the consensus of his
supporters that he will get the nom
nation without primary fight and
thus carry his party's standard in the
election in November. No mention
was made as to the Mayors running
mates for Attorney-General, Comp
troller and Clerk of the Court of APP
peals. That the Mayor intended to
announce his candidacy had been
known for several months and was
anticipated for almost a year. The
reason for his delay is belived to
have been due. to rumors OF other
possible candidates.

Old Structures High

The skyscraper is probably our
most striking achievement, says Emil
Lorch, professor Of architecture.
Europeans are thrilled by Its dar-
ing fusion of art and science and by
the unusual street effects, and sky
line created by these huge towerlike
masses which rise here and there
above our cities much as do the cathe-
drals over the lower and more even
outlines Of foreign towns.
''It must not be assumed, however,
that high buildings are of recent or
American origin.
"The Great pyramid Of Egypt, built
$500 years ago, was originally nearly
500 feet In height, with base 76O by
76O feet, covering Is acres, or an area
equaling one-third that of the original
campus of the University of Michigan

The proposal to bond the
county for a new Court House
and Jail, and the building OF
improved roads, is not meeting
with the enthusiastic endorse

promoters of he proposed pub

Commissioner has announced
himself on a platform fatty OPP
posed to the proposal.
The committee appointed at
the meeting in Elkton held a

cided it advisable to go more
thoroughly into the probable
increase of taxes the improve
