state highway bridges. :. In our
opinion the governors plan is wise,
workable and timely 1t will not
only give employment to thousands
but it will correct one of the states
greatest highway hazards, one-way

Charles L. knight, vigorous Re-
publican editor, observes in an edi-
torial in his Akron Beacon Journal:
Governor George White has
done popular thing in demanding
from his department that in the i'm
provement projects soon to be
scheduled as unemployment relief
measures they spend the funds on
jobs that will really give men
work, instead of providing profits
for contractors He indorses the
suggestion of Cleveland relief agen-
cies that open bitches along the
state highways be dug and tiled
largely by manual labor, and not by
labor saving machines

employment, as an extremely high

UNEMPLOYMENT MEASURE OF
GOV. WHITE APPROVED

Unemployment relief measures
undertaken by Ohio's state gov
ernment at the direction OF GOV
ernor White, have evoked approval
by newspaper editors who have IN
dicated whole-hearted agreement
with this view expressed by the
governor:
Continuous employment of ade-
quately paid men and women IN
America is what we must strive TOT
INCREASINGLY. 1t is a contemplate
and short-sighted policy that would
seek to force starvation wages upon
unemployed men because OF thelr
unfortunate situation"
Especially effective in the opln-
ion of Ohio editors should be the
governors bridge building program
under which $50 bridges are to De
constructed this fall and winter at
a total cost of $4,107,8 800, OF whlch
the state will contribute 1925
O50, the U. S. government 1916
$50 and the counties $15S,0OO.
Pointing to the bridge defects
which Governor White has instruct
ed the state highway department TO
eliminate, the Columbus Dispatch
comments editorially that the re-
moval of these bridge hazards ties
in admirably with the need OF has
tening necessary public improve
ments as a means of aiding IN the
relief of the unemployed. Here is
work needed not merely to hell
the unemployed, but also to sale
guard our people against the peri
of death or personal injury. Labor
of the immediate locality can be
used on all such bridge contracts
and it is to be hoped that neither
red tape nor chronic obstructionlsts
will be allowed to thwart the desire
of the highway department 10 gel
the contracts let for these new
bridges, and the men to work at the
earliest date possible"
Similar sentiments are expressed
by the editor of the Millersbure
Hub who writes:

nounced a plan whereby ONO can

State Crime BrOadcasting

Systematic broadcasting of crime
bulletins throughout Ohio "a hours
day, with every sheriff's office, po-
lice headquarters and Official auto
mobile picking up the messages,
would be effective help in enforcing
the law and capturing law breakers.
1t would bind all of these agencies,
scattered throughout the whole
state, so closely together that they
could act almost as a unit in major
crises and there is every reason for
believing that it would be great
preventative of crime. The plan is
already working well in many of the
larger cities, and few states have
adopted it.
Rural counties like Washington
and those surrounding it now CO.
operate as closely as they can. A
crime in one of them, when the per-
petrators escape, is reported to the
others. The telephone is used in
transmitting messages. This takes
time just when the authorities at
the scene of the trouble are busiest,
when time is most valuable Only
one point can be reached at a time.
With broadcasting system in op-
Grafton the messages would be fash
ed instantaneously and simultan-
eously to all points that it was de-
sired TO reach and the officers at all

Portable for any gang trying to es-
cape in a high-powered automobile,

Wrecking the system now employed
by our modern rob-and-run law vio-
lators.
Such broadcasting system was
endorsed by county sheriffs at a dis
trict meeting of the Buckeye Sher-
ifs association in this city yester-
day. The plan embraces the estab-
lishment of five broadcasting sta
tions in widely separated parts of
the state, one of them in Marietta.
Local bulletins would be put on the
air in each of the districts. Bulle-
tins of state interest would be
broadcast by all of them. The whole

BOXED Apes
Station Issues Bulletin on
Storage Apple Rot
Conditions

eWashington is now the leading
commercial apple growing state
in the United States, producing
approximately % percent of the
total commercial crop, and over
half the total boxed apple crop"
according to F. d. Head and G.
d. Ruehle in a bulletin entitled
"The RIOTS of Washington Apples
in Cold Storage" which has just
been published by the Washing
ton Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton.
Since the apple crop from the
irrigated sections of the state such
as the Yakima and Wenatchee val
legs is practically free from in
sect pests or fungus diseases, the
fruit defects which lower quality
in Washington apples or exclude
them from market are chiefly due
to storage conditions. The decay
of apples in storage is due to the
entrance of reproducing fungi
through mechanical injuries or ne
crotic spots. The studies on apple
rots conducted at the experiment
station show that more than 40
species of fungi are responsible
for the decay of apples in cold
storage, the majority of which are
slow growing at cold storage
temperatures and produce spot
rots, while some of the most de-
structive cause a complete decay
of fruits.
General sanitation in the orch
ard and packing plant, prevention
of injuries to the fruit which per-
NIT entrance of reproducing fun
gi, and the avoidance of conditions
favoring infection, are recommends
ed for the prevention and con-
troll of storage rots of apples.

MITE DAMAGE SERIOUS

To allow a tree to become Sc
riously infected with the two-spot-
ted mite or any other form Of
mite is apt to produce serious
longtime affects upon the tree.
While our trees have made the
majority of their twig growth,
good healthy leaves are essential
for another to 10 weeks in order
to leave that tree in good condi.
ton for winter and for the produc-
tion of crop another year. We
have seen many trees on which the
leaves seem to have lost almost
all vitality due to mite injury.
This is a serious matter. Prob
ably many of these trees this con-
dition could be remedied if proper
sprays were applied in the very
near future. We realize that fin
ancing of extra sprays in The or
chard is difficult matter, but
this is matter which must be
given careful attention since it
will affect the tree for at least
another season and possibly longer
than this, according to information
obtained from Californi areports.

two thousand pounds, does not do
anything like the damage to high
ways as do the large trucks weigh
ing, when loaded, as much as
thirty thousand pounds.
"To the extent of protecting the
highways and of maintaining the
present high standard of schools in
Washington, the interests of the
average citizen in getting business
back to the rails are just as great
as are those of the railroad EN-
ployes."
"Taxes paid by the Union Pa
cific for 1880 in Benton county
amounted to $39,695.21. Of this
sum $24,274.4S went directly for
educational purposes and $6,334.0O
for highway purposes. Taxes paid
in the city of Kennewick amount
ed to $3,3O5.24."
The bus lines, all combined, paid
a total tax to Benton county of
less than a thousand dollars.

probably under the rather favor
able conditions of the past winter.
We have visited several places
where there is plenty of evidence
of serious rat infestation, says the
county agent, E. C. Durdle.
We have been comforting with
leaders in the Biological Survey,
looking toward the holding of some
meetings little later in the fall
at, which time rather specific rec
cancellations could be given people
having trouble with rates, so that
general campaign for cleaning
up of at least the more badly in
tested areas could be undertaken.
1t is probable that sometime dur
ing September meetings will be
held at least at Prosser and Ken
newick at which time as far as
possible demonstration meetings
will be worked out. 1t is rather
difficult to work out a demonstra-
ton meeting on rat control since
there are so many factors enter
ing into the control problem, but
we are sure that the general in
formation given at a meeting of
this kind will be worth while for
anyone attending.
