Dog Saves Girl From Train

At the risk of its own life, a collie
deg belonging to M. Stewart of Kell
Duror, Scotland, saved the life of
Stewart's small daughter recently. The
child had wandered on the railway

train. The dog jumped between the
rails, seized the tots dress in its teeth
and dragged her to safety a second be-
fore the train whizzed by.

Durdle Discusses
Soil Fertility

The problem of soil fertility for any
section of the state Is coming to be
looked upon as much more of COM
plex problem than was considered a
few years ago Much is being done each
year, however, In the way of demon
stration plots and experimental work
and considerable information is being
accumulated which is enabling farmers
to get more and more fundamental
information from year to year. Prob
ably one of the best steps that has
been taken recently was the fertilizer
| council meeting which was held in
Seattle last winter and which undoubt-
eddy will be held again at some point
in the state this fall when the results
of fertilizer work for this season has
become available.
Some new work has been started in
the county this year on Strawberries,
apples, onions, potatoes, and other
crops. We have learned at least one
thing from these demonstration plots
and that is that we must carefully con-
slider crop responses to certain fertil-
izers as we'll as soil needs Because
one crop shows definite response to
a fertilizer does not mean that all
! crops will show this same response
Information of this kind will become
more and more available as time goes
on and we hope that as a result of the
demonstration plots at various places
in the county with the results of eX-
detrimental work being done at the r.
der the direction of Fl. P. Singleton
will help to answer more clearly for
us for another season many of the
problems that we have.
We are past the harvest of some of
our leading crops and we may look
back on the immediate past and see
that some fields which have been we'll
fertilized have returned we'll above the
cost of the fertilizer in net returns over
fields that have not been we'll fertil-
lied. There are instances, however,
where the fertilizer plot has not given
results, this being undoubtedly due
largely to improper use of fertilizer
materials. During the latter part of
July or early August we hope to be
able to hold discussions in the various
communities at which time visits will
be made to some of the fertilized plots
and farmers will be able to see for
themselves results of the fertilizer or
lack Of results in some instances. We
would like to urge that farmers give

Control Perennial Weeds
BY Use Of CELEBRATES

The use of CELEBRATES in the control
Of the perennial weed problem has
given varying results not only in this
county but in other irrigated sections
1t does seem to offer, however, the
most economical method of control of
the problem. It is important that if
the cost OF control is to be kept down,
that the weeds be identified when they
first make their appearance so that
control measures can be applied before
the areas become large or very much
scattered. One or two new weeds have
been discovered this year which are
sure to become troublesome if not ia
ken care of soon.
The chlorate method of control l.,
the application, either in spray or dust,
directly to the weed or to the soil in
which the weed grows, of either sodium
chlorate, calcium chlorate, or Atlacide,
which is trade name for a combina-
ton of sodium chlorate with materials
which reduce the fire hazard. Sodium
chlorate may be mixed with magnesium
chloride and thus bring the same re-
suits, according to the best information
available at this time. Two pounds
of sodium chlorate with one pound of
magnesium chloride should be equiv
alent to three pounds of Atlacide. The
material to be used should depend upon
the cost and the convenience of the
material. 1t would seem advisable to
use Atlacide wherever the weeds are
present in small areas and wherever
the chlorate is to be used in the or
chard. There is possibility, however,
if sodium chlorate and magnesium
chloride can be secured at much less
cost than the Atlacide, to use this
combination in the orchard.
Various weeds will require different
quantities of chemical. Star thistle,
and Russian knappweed are compar-
atively easily killed, while Siberian
mustard and hory cress will require,
according to our observations, much
heavier application. Our observations
have led us to recommend two pounds
Of sodium chlorate per square rod as

work. part of the time up to our necks
in the freezing water, we broke the
raft loose, only to have it catch again
as the current turned it around. Our
legs were perfectly numb from our ex-
perience. After rubbing and warming
ourselves till we had some feeling in
our legs we, because we were used to
it, again went into the water. When
the raft was loose again the roots on
the log were kept in deep water. 1t
was then too late to continue the trip
so we tied up for the night. The next
morning we arrived at Pasco about
10 o'clock without further incident.
l have never taken another raft trip
on the Columbia. But if ever do, there
will be no limbs or roots left on any
of the logs, and still believe that
any one who takes a dip in the Col
umbia river in the winter is using
very poor judgment
Near where we finished our survey
was a road leading up gulch to the
eastward from the river which was, no
doubt the old White Bluffs Trail men

Also there was an old deserted log
cabin which was probably the Hudson
Bay Co. cabin referred to. None of lis,
however we're familiar with the earlier
history of the district and it was only
a deserted cabin to us.
I do not know of any account of
this survey having been published.
Even though nothing ever came OF
the plan, it is interesting to have a
record of the early efforts to develop
the country.

maximum amount required for the
control of star thistle, Canada thistle
and Russian knappweed. There are
grasses, such as quack grass, bermuda
grass and weeds such as morning glory,
perennial nightshade, sand dock, we
believe that as much as three pounds
may be required per square rod. For
Siberian mustard, hory cress and any
other perennials of the mustard fam
lily, it probably will be necessary to
use as much as four pounds per square
rod. If one were using Atlacide, the
amount should be increased one-half
that is, where two pounds of sodium
chlorate would be used, three pounds
of calcium chlorate or Atlacide would
be applied. If one is using sodium
chlorate in the orchard or wherever
there is a fire hazard, we would not
recommend it's use unless one pound
of magnesium chloride is used for each
two pounds of sodium chlorate. The
usual dillution is one pound of chlor-
ate to one gallon of water. Where the
larger amount of CELEBRATES are used,
however, the concentration may be in
creased, that is, up to two pounds of
cllorate may be used per gallon of
water. Under field conditions the di-
ution is not SO important. Under or
chard conditions we would urge the
use of only enough spray solution to
thoroughly wet the tops and getting
as little as possible upon the soil. This
is to prevent feeder roots of the Or
clard trees from taking UP the poison.
Observations of the last three years
have led us to the conclusion that
two or three successive light applica-
tons are better than one heavy appli-
cation. Tt would be our opinion that
the first application, made anytime
from the time q plant is In bloom and
for possible two or three weeks after
this should make use of about two
thirds of the amount of material rec
commended above. If good leaf growth
is made within month following this
we believe that one half of all of the
remainder of the material could be put
on in a second application, this being
particularly applicable to the weeds
which are most easily killed. In the
case of weeds such as the mustards
and even morning glory, we believe
that third application as late in the
fall as it is possible to determine the
outlines of the patch, should be made,
using the balance of the material. We
particularly recommend the several and
successive applications under orchard
conditions and in no case would we
recommend more than a pound
application of sodium chlorate to the
square rod at one time in the orchard
and even then would want to see this
kept away from too close to the trunk
of the tree.
We believe it inadvisable to use the
regular orchard sprayer for weed con-
troll work unless extreme care is used
in thoroughly rinsing the machine at
ter use. This material will burn foliage
and fruit of trees very quickly. Chlor-
ates are being offered at a price which
would seem to warrant immediate con-
troll measures being applied to all per-
ennial weed patches. The above rec
concentrations are based upon the
general conference of the Extension
Agents of the irrigated sections of the
state and we believe is about the best
information for our conditions at the
present time.

RULES MAY BE TOO DRASTIC

From Wenatchee come reports that an attempt
may be made to call another state conference Of
growers to undo part of the things done at the
recent grade and pack conference.
1t is claimed by some growers that the rule
adopted for the elimination of the G grade apples
from the standard box pack will not accomplish
all that was intended in keeping this grade off the
market in competition with the Extras and Fan
cies. Tt is reported that there is movement under
way in places to evade the intent of the G.
grade ruling by substituting a non-standard box,
or baskets, or barrels or some other type of con-
tanner.
1t is also said that the state attorney general
will hold that the rule to prevent the shipment of
culls by placing limit of three per cent nfesta-
ton on them, is not enforceable and that such
fruit can be shipped to by-products plants under
the present laws.
Another conference may or may not be called
this year but it does not seem likely at this time
The action taken in reference to the C's and culls
rather drastic and it is possible after one
years experience the rules adopted this year may
be modified somewhat next year. The rules for
the Extra Fancy will probably be held pretty much
intact, while those for the Fances may be lowered
enough to include the better grades This would
result in two grade pack, something that num-
Der of growers have been contending for for years.
