GROWERS GETTING READY
TO APPLY CA!YX STRAY


The Warmer weather this week
has brought the apple blossoms along
rather fast and growers generally
are getting ready to start the ca lyx
spray either the last of this week or
the first of next, although in a few
instances this spray was applied
this week.
The bloom on some, of the apples
seems to have been rather uneven,
particularly the Winesaps. Some of
the blossoms are getting ready to
close while others are just coming
out q the bud.
From the present appearance of
the apple blossoms, the first estim-
ates of frost damage were exagger-
ated and if there is not a heavy drop
in May there will be lots of thinning
to be done, although in a few of
the orchards on the lower ground
the crop may be light.
After the dust storm last week
there was some fear it had damaged
the apple crop. The trees were liter
ally covered with dust and as many
of the buds were open it was thought
that the dust might interfere with
pollinization. An examination this
week, however, indicated that there
was not much injury from this source.

A CALL TO ARMS BY STARCHER
TO BATTLE THE COMMON ENEMY

It will soon be time for the fruit
growers to begin the annual battle
with their most destructive enemy,
the Cooling Moth. The damage caused
by this insect last season was much
less than that of the previous year.
This fact may be attributed to more
thorough and more timely spraying,
assisted by extreme winter tenpera-
lures, which caused heavy mortality
among the -wintering larvae. AS
most Of the cooling moth larvae sur
vived the mild winter, our control
measures this spring must be more
thorough and effective if we expect
to harvest as clean crop of fruit
as last year. Effective control of any
insect pest by spraying depends on
three things. First, the spray material
must be efficient at the strength used !;
second, the spray must be applied at
the time when it will have the most
effect in killing the pest; and third,
the spray must be applied thoroughly.
The control obtained by any spray
program depends to great extent
be destroyed.
For the control of Cooling moth
larvae, arsenate of lead should be
used at the rate of pounds to 100
gallons of water.
Each year summer all is being used
with arsenate of lead more and more
as an aid in. cooling moth control. Not
only has it an ovicidal value, but it
increases the effectiveness of the arse
nate of lead over longer period
The calyx spray should be applied
after most of the petals have fallen
and before the calyx lobes have closed.
Unless exceptionally warm weather
follows the falling Of the petals, or
10 days will elapse before many of
the calyx cups are closed.
The first cover spray is applied tol

Mr.. HUssEY NEGLEcTS TO
DEPOSIT $1,000 CHECK

At the receivership sale in Yakima
on February FL, Ernest B. Hussey,
who claimed to represent a. few CT the
water right owners, was present with
his attorney, but made no bid on the
irrigation properties offered for sale.
A few days later he appeared in the
federal court in Spokane with his at
torney and filed what he termed his
return of service and in which he Of
fered to take over the properties on
the bid of the Priest Rapids irrigation
district, made through w. H. Keal, in
the event the district was unable to
complete its offer of purchase.
In the order of the court admitting
the return to be filed in the case, it
was stipulated that a certified check
for $4,000 be deposited by Mr.. Hussey
with The Master in Chancery Marvin
Chase on or before Saturday, April Is.
Mr.. Chase says that he has never
received this $4,000 check, or any
other, from Mr.. Hussey, which is
causing some to wonder what would
have happened if the. bond election
last Saturday had failed:
1t is claimed that, as a legal propo-
sition, the court could have held that
the offer under proposition number
one, protecting the trust feature, had
failed and that the properties would
have then been offered under propo-
sition number two, with the trust fea-
ture eliminated. In that event there
would have been no water rights to
fuss over, for the power part Of the
properties would have undoubtedly
been bid in by some outsider and
those depending on irrigation water
from the ditch would have had to buy
their power at the regular rates.

MORE TIME ASKED IN
WHICH TO COMPLETE BID

made by Mr. Keal, provided for a
payment of $4,000 on the date of the
sale and the payment of the balance

AS the date Of the hearing on the
suit filed in the Superior Court of
Yakima County by some Of the land
owners seeking to enjoin the sale
of the district bonds voted at the
bond election last Saturday, is set

WHITE BLUFFS WINS IN
10 INNINGS 9 TO 6

Although they had to travel ten
innings to do it, the White Bluffs
ball club took the Finley club into
camp on the latter's grounds last Sum
day by score of to 6.
The Finley pitcher was going good
in the early part of the game and it
was not until the third inning that
White Bluffs was able to break into
the run column but they showed three
counters over in that session. At the
end Of the regulation nine innings, the
score was tied at 6 all. In the first
half of the tenth White Bluffs again
broke through with three more runs
and held Finley scoreless during the
last half of the inning.
Nearly all of the players on the
Finley club are big fellows of mature
years. They are not so fast fielders
but most of them can hit and Joe
Wagner, who was in the box for
White Bluffs, had to bear down on
nearly every pitch to keep them from
tearing the cover off the ball.
Jay Montgomery, the regular CATCH
er on the White Bluffs club, was I'M
dpiS 70 accompany the cluD to FINLEY
and Gilbert Walker did the catching.
He had tough day of it, being hit
twice by the Finley pitcher and stop
ping couple of foul tips on his
shoulder.
Pie Morford played his first game Of
the season with White Bluffs. He
started in at second but didn't 60 so
good there. About the middle Of the
game he moved over to his old posi-
ton at third, changing places with AL
Barnes, and played in old time form.
Next Sunday the two clubs will
meet again on the White Bluffs
grounds and the boys are looking for
"a tough battle.
Hanford won over Benton City at
Hanford last Sunday in a close con-
test by score of 7 to 6.

protect the small fruit from the newly
Matched worms. Under favorable
weather conditions, the first worms
are Matched 10 or IL days after the
first cooling moth energies and eggs
are laid. Entomologists tell us that the
cooling moth begin laying eggs when
the evening temperatures for con-
secutive days is above 90 degrees
Fahrenheit
Moth emergence can be determined
by the use of the moth traps. Every
orchardist should have from 8 to 6
moth traps in his orchard. These
traps should be placed in the orchard
within the next week, cared for
throughout the entire season, and a
daily record kept of the moth ener-
gence. The spray program for any
orchard should be based on the
,emergence record for that orchard and
not by what the moth activity is il a
neighboring orchard. Two orchards
only half mile apart may vary at
the peak of moth emergence from 8
days to week.
The use of tie moth traps should
be supplemented by checking the egg
deposit. The first eggs are laid on the
leaves but later they may be found on
the fruit. The egg is pearly white,
about the size of pinhead and re-
sembles thin convex disk. A few
days after the egg is laid red ring
becomes apparent and the day before
the worm matches a black spot, the
head of the worm, is easily seen. BY
determining the moth emergence by
the use of traps and checking the egg
deposit by observation, more eff
Gent spray program may be outlined,
whether arsenate of lead alone or an
o:l-lead arsenate combination is to be
used.

CONTROL or GRIN AND
ROSY kpH S ON APPLES

Green Apple Aphis and Rosy Apple
Aphis are to be found in many apple
orchards in the county, and unless
some efforts are made to control them
serious damage to the apple crop may
result.
During the last week, the STEM
mothers that Matched from the over
wintering eggs, began producing young
and the young aphids are now to be
found sucking on the stems and
flowers of the bud clusters. In one
orchard examined nearly every bud
cluster was infested with colony of
young aphids. 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
Apple Aphis is present on the apple
throughout the enire season.
The most effective control measure
is spraying with Nicotine Sulphate,
pint to 100 gallons Of water. To be
effective the temperature should be
around so degrees Farenheit.
One to ~ gallons of summer oil to
100 gallons of water will give partial
control but is not as effective as Nico-
tine Sulphate. Where delayed dor
mant Lime and Sulfur has been APP
piled do not use summer oil in the
first brood cover sprays.
An examination should ta made of
the orchard for the presence of aphids
and if the infestation is becoming seri-
Gus Moot ne Sulphate should be added
to the calyx spray or first cover APP
plication.

Record Vote
Is Cast At
Bond Election
S125. 900 of District Bonds
Is Authorized by Vote
of 1S1 to 1O6

The landowners in the Priest Rapids
Irrigation District by vote of 1Sl
to LOG at the bond election last Sat
urday, authorized the directors to is
sue $125,000 of district bonds to COM
plete the offer of purchase made at
the receivership sale in Yakima on
February 81 for the irrigation prop
critics here and for betterments to the
project.
A second proposition authorizing the
district board to pay the first years
interest out of the bonds, also carried
by a vote of us to 1917.
AS was predicted, the election brot
out a record vote, all but nine of the
eligible resident voters in the district
casting ballots. In addition, 29 others
who own land in the district but who
have their residence in other places in
the state drove over here Saturday to
vote.
The properties involved include the
power plant at Priest Rapids, the
pumping plant at Coyote Rapids, the
transmission line between the two
plants and the irrigation canal and
lateral system. The value of this
property today has been estimated at
around a half million dollars.
The district board has entered into
an agreement with the Milwaukee
railroad whereby the latter will buy
up to 100000 worth of the district
bonds, at par as the district needs the
funds. With these funds the district
will pay the $45,00O which was bid
at the receivership sale; around $10,-
600 spent this spring in repair work
at the two plants and the rebuilding
of some of the worn out laterals; the
interest on the amount of bonds that
will be sold this year, and incidental
expense.
The power plant at Priest Rapids
is in Yakima county and during the
four and halls yesrs is.sas property
has been in receivership about $15,-
600 in taxes have accumulated on it
which are still unpaid.
1t is believed that portion, if not
all, of these taxes might be cancelled
if a friendly suit were filed against
Yakima county. OF course, as soon
as the district actually acquires title
to the property it is automatically
taken from the tax rolls, which will
mean an annual saving in overhead of
around $4,000.
Out of the 100000 worth of bonds
which the Milwaukee has agreed to
buy at par, it is expected there will
be sufficient funds to pay the pur-
chase price, the repair work done this
spring, the first years interest and
incidentals and still leave stable sum
for Improvement work at the. power
plant to point where year around
output of excess power may be gen.
Grated and sold, if the board deter
mines that this shall be the first inn
provement work undertaken.
All irrigation authorities are agreed
that the step taken last Saturday by
the landowners in voting the bonds
for acquiring ownership of the pro-
perty was the most vital and pro-
gressive step ever taken in the history
of the valley.
