The concert given on Tuesday even
ing by the High School Orchestra at
the Washington Auditorium was
musical event of more than ordinary
importance inaSmuch as it embodied
musical skill coupled with expert direc-
ton. The concert as given by these
youngsters also demonstrated that it
is unnecessary to pay big money to
outside talent for musical events that
in the majority of instances fail to
attain the excellence of the concert
given Tuesday.
The auditorium was well filled when
at o'clock the orchestra struck UP
the stirring strains of the TriumphiaI
March from the opera Aida. Two
selections by Greig, Heart Wounds"
and The Last Spring" followed after
which -Orientale" by Cui completed

MINNESOTA FARMERS
PLANTING WINDBREAKS.

Minnesota farmers are looking 20 the
comforts of farm home life in in
creasing numbers, says Parker o.
Anderson, specialist in forestry IN the
extension division, Department Of
Agriculture, University Of Minnesota
This is the case, at east, If one may
judge from the number Of trees being
purchased for the planting of wind
breaks and shelterbelts this spring.
Mr.. Anderson reports that up to April
Is this year, So 200 trees had been
ordered by farmers for such uses. Ad-
ditional orders, he thinks, VIII bring
the total up to 10000 or 5000 by the
end of the tree-planting season
In planting trees this spring, says
Mr.. Anderson, farmers buying supplies
should carefully inspect packages
arriving from nurseries to see that the
root system is moist. They should
take the trees out of the packages and
pack dirt around them In a small
trench in a shaded area If the trees
are evergreens, great care should be
taken to keep the root system wet, es-
pecially while planting. This is best
accomplished by carrying the small
trees in a pail half filled with muddy
water.
The holes for trees should be large
enough to hold the roots without
crowding. The trees should be
planted to the same depth they were
planted in the nursery, which VIII be
indicated by the dirt ring at the base
The planting should include the firm
packing of the earth around the roots
Care should be taken also. to pro-
tect the newly planted trees from farm
animals and to cultivate the trees reg
ularly through the summer 70 keep
down the weeds and grass.

The Miner this week is presenting
its readers with copy Of the laws
passed at the last session of the legis-
lature. Contrary TO the custom which
has prevailed in the past, these laws
are printed in a type making them
easier to read with the titles in black
letter and the indexes classified to
make them easier to find. The sup
plement contains all the acts passed
at the last session with the exception
of those passed and vetoed by the
governor. Many of these new laws
have direct bearing on this section
Of the state. If you will file them for
future reference, you will find them a
handy item. It is our intention in a
later issue to search out those with a
direct bearing on this section of the
country and bring them directly into
the attention of our readers.

Fly Control on the Farm

The new Reclamation Era under
date of April 1881 carries an ar
ticle on the method of fly control
followed at the st Elizabeth hospi-
tai at Washington, DC. In a very
warm climate such as we have here
it looks as tho this method &c cor
troll should offer splendid oncoi-
unity for fly controy measures oil;
many of our farms.
Briefly the life history of the fly
is that the adult fly lays her eggs
in manure and refuse piles. The
eggs hatch and the larva feed
here for short time then travel
away from the pile, travelling as
far as ten to twenty feet before
digging in to change to adult fly
thru the pupae stage. The fact
that the fly leaves the pile and
pupaetates in the soil reasonably
close to it offers chances for con-
troll measures as worked out there.
The control measures consist in
digging a trench about the manure
pile, say one foot deep and foot
wide. This is filled to few inches
depth with old crank case oil. I'm
der our conditions it probably
would be necessary to do right
from the start what they have done

CELEBRATES CONTROL
SIBERIAN MUSTARD

For those farmers of the county
who know that they have Siberian
mustard at this time. This area was
first busted last summer when the
plants were in bloom with 5 lbs.
Of calcium chlorate to the square
rod. This killed all top growth at
this time. A second top growth de-
veloped during the summer and
this was treated late in the sum-
mer with a spray of calcium chlor-
ate at the rate of one ID. of the
chlorate to a rod. Examination of
the area now shows that there are
very few of the mustard plants
showing and what plans do show
are very unthrifty. There are few
plants around the outer edge of
the area treated last year. Be-
lieving that it is worth while MAX
irg a complete job of eradication
while doing the work we think that
it would be advisable for the per-
sontreating weed area to cover an
area ten or twelve feet wide
around the area where one finds
even scattering plants. Seeds of
the plant in question as well as un-
derground extensions of the
stems seem to make it necessary
to cover this wide area in order
to thoroughly clean up a patch.
We would like to urge at this
time that farmers watch closely
for these bad perennial weeds and
take care of them while they are
still in small areas before the
problem becomes a general one on
the farm.

ONION GRADE HEARING
REQUESTED SAYS STARCHER

Word was received at the Dis
trict Horticultural office Saturday
from George E. Harter, Supervisor
of Horticulture at Olympia that
reasonable showing Of onion grow
ers have petitioned the Department
of Agriculture for a hearing for
the purpose Of establishing obli-
gatory onion grade rules, previous
to the summer or fall onion har-
vest, according to Doyle Starcher,
District Horticultural Inspector.
A hearing will be granted to the
onion growers of Washington at
Walla Walla on Friday, May Is, at
900 am. in the Chamber Of Com
merce, at which time Erie j.
Barnes, Director of Agriculture
will hear requests on formulating
grades, based on equal represent
alton by delegates as per individ-
ual onion growing districts. Dele
gates will be based on car tom
mage basis and may be growers,
distributors or other parties fin
ancially interested in the onion in
dustry.
Election of delegates to the hear
ing will be held at Pasco early in
May.

tiers. In one archard examined
nearly every bud cluster was in
tested with a colony of young
aphis. Both green and rosy aphis
were present In the orchard. The
rosy aphis will later migrate to
the plantain, but before leaving
will have done serious damage. The
green aphis is present on the ap-
pie throughout the entire season.
The most effective control mea-
sure is spraying with Nicotine Sui
plate, 1 pint to 100 gallons of wa
ter. To be effective the tempera-
ture should be around 60 degrees
Fahrenheit.
One to l liz gallons of summer
oil to 100 gallons of water will
give partial control but is not as
effective as Nicotine Sulphate.
Where delayed dormant lime and
sulphur has been applied do not
use summer oil in the first brood
cover sprays.
An examination should be made
of the orchard for the presence Of
aphis and if the infestation is be-
coming serious Nicotine Sulphate
should be added to the calyx spray
or first cover application.

APPLE POLLINIZATION

There seems to be no question
but what there are orchards of
both Winesaps and Delicious
which do not seem to self pollin-
ize, altho there does seem to be
an occasional orchard where the
owner does not have trouble with
this problem. Studies in the We
natchee section seem to show a
more or less general lack of self
pollinization, however, on the part
of these two varieties.
The use of bees in the orchard
undoubtedly helps materially in
pollinizing trees of other varieties.
Wherever growers can get a few
stands of bees for the orchard this
should be good economical prac-
tice, unless farmers living near
may have stands Of their own.
An orchard on the Kennewick
Highlands which was planted to
Jonathans one-third of the way
across the orchard from the west
and the remaining two-thirds be-
ing Winesaps had produced a very
light crop On the third of ..ha or
chard on the east of that furth-
erist removed from the Jonathans.
Last year the party handling this
orchard cut branches from Jona-
thans and hung them in buckets on
tho east third of the orchard and
this third produced a good crop
for the first time since a Rome
block was taken out right next to
this orchard some seven years ago.
This method of cutting bouquets
and hanging t:,e m in the trees dur
ing the blossoming period Offers
quick relief fer this polarization
need. Eventually it probably would
be well to graft in a few trees in
a section such as this, pollinizing
varieties. The Jonathan, the
Rome Beauty, Winter Banana,
Arkansas Black, may all be used
as pollinizers for the Winesaps and
Delicious.

point of view. I find that many Presidents
have joined the ranks of fishermen only after
their Inauguration as President. although I
can claim more than As years of apprentice
ship-that is. In fishing, not the presidency.
ct have discovered the reason why Presi-
dents take to fishing-the silent sport. APP
parently the only opportunity for refreshing
ones soul and Qualification Of ones thoughts
by solitude TO Presidents lies through fishing
AS I have said elsewhere, it is generally
realized and accepted that prayer is the most
personal of all human relationships. On such
occasions as that men and women are entitled
to be alone and undsturbed. Next to prayer,
fishing is the most personal relationship of
and, of more Importance than the fact
itself everybody comedies that the fish will not
bite in the presence of the public. Fishing
seems to be the sole avenue left to Presidents
through which they may escape to their own
thoughts and may live in their imaginings
and find relief from the pneumatic hammer of
constant personal contacts
Moreover, it is a constant reminder of the
democracy of life, of humility and of human
frailty, for all men are equal before fishes. And
it is desirable that the President of the United
States should be periodically reminded of this
fundammtel fact-that the forces of Nature
discriminate for no man"
The Chief" however, does not rule all of
his Official family with rod" Fishing pre-
eminently intrigues but the other members Of
the cabinet have preferences also. Secretary
of State Stimson, while he loves to angle and
spent last Summer in that engaging sport amid
the Adidondacks, prefers horseback riding and
tennis to the lure of purling streams. A friend
of the great Roosevelt, he rubbed of some Of
that premier sportsman's eclat for these two
dominant recreations. The oridlepaths of
Washington are familiar to him from the days
of his secretaryship in the Taft administration
Today, when the cares of state are not too
pressing, he may be seen riding along the
secluded lanes of Rock Creek Park enjoying
its foamy torrent and the cool pleasantness of
its riotous shade

AN cabinet of Preside
Hoover in Washington.
When the sun beats down
early on the asphalt streets Of the American
capitals it has this Summer-and enter
prising reporters fry eggs on the sizzling
sAvenoo" and convention managers begin to
check up on the heat records of other cities to
the advantage Of Washington, President Hoover
and his official family grow FESTIVE not the
least. No timetables, truckloads of trunks and
formal Summer resorts for them. On the con-
trary, it's old clothes and roughing it. For the
majority of the members of the Hoover cabinet,
including Mr.. Hoover himself, are true children
of Nature. They love the great outdoors and
most Of them are fond of fishing.
FOREST trails today are turing Secretary of
| Agriculture Hyde. He left the Capital some
time in July for the West on a national forest
inspection tour that was to carry him into
September Needless to say that he has been
angling every worth while trout stream in every
forest that he visited. His rod and reel are
ever by his side. On the Rapidan he is Marshal
Ney to Mr.. Hooveris Napoleon among the hnny
tribes.
Next to Mr.. Hoover. Mr.. Hyde is, perhaps,
the greatest fisherman in the cabinet. Like
good and true Izaak Waltonian, "any old kind
of fishing interests him. Fishing is to me
what ginger bread was to Abraham Lincoln
he says; nobody likes it better nor gets less
of it." He likes to fish for the big game fish
that Turk of the coast of Florida and in other
Southern waters, as well whip" some in
land mountain stream, dashing among its rocks
and fernery for the more elusive yet none the
less game small fish. In this connection it will
be recalled that at the time Mr.. Hyde was
offered the agricultural portfolio he was in
Florida on fishing holiday that had taken
him, at its inception, into Cuban waters.
Equally devoted to Sir Izaak's profession is
DR.. Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary of the
Interior. Like Secretary Hyde. it is not
prising to find him engaged in plying some
mountain stream near his home in the Sierras
