Minneapolis Office
Approves AZ Seed
Loans In County

To date, Al seed loans have been
acted upon favorably by the committee
at Minneapolis and funds returned to
farmers of Benton county, says E. G..
Durdle county agent. The loans this
year will probably average quite little
less than loans last year. One OF the
reasons for this is undoubtedly the
fact that apple men have been making
their applications direct to the Re-
gional in Spokane.
The average loan this year has been
loan of $14O with the total loans
made to date, 5000 To date there
are but six who have secured the max
imum loan of $780, There are quite a
few loans from $25 to SIS.
Since last week was the last one
for making applications there undoubt-
edly will be added to the above list
quite few new loans, says Mr.. Durdle

Spray Recommendations
Issued By Department

Revised spray recommendations for
control of codling moth, prepared
jointly by the horticultural depart
ment and E. j. Newcomer, federal en-
tomologist, says the Yakima Herald,
contain the suggestion that the grower
keep a spray chart of each spray, the
date begun, the date finished, the
amount of material used to each 100
gallons of water and the average num-
Der of gallons used to the tree.
Growers were advised to use two
pounds of arsenate of lead to 100 gal
Ions of water for the calyx spray and
three pounds of the material to each
100 gallons in the first cover spray
For the second and third cover sprays
two pounds of arsenate of lead with
fish oil or mineral oil emulsions were
recommended.
For later sprays the nicotine oil
combination was suggested. # the early
moth emergence is heavy, the use OF
oil in the first and second cover sprays
may be necessary instead Of in the
second and third, the instructions
said.

Burglary Attempt

An attempt to burglarize the White

stopped Friday night when a group

SO suddenly as to frighten the bur-
glars away before they had time to
steal more than the small quantity or
gasoline left in the hose of the gas
pump in front of the garage.
r. s. Reierson was awakened about
o'clock that night by the noise OF a

within very few minutes D. S. Will
kinson, Fred Gilhuly, Deputy Sheriff

Huge Meteor
Flashes Across
Horizon Here
FIERY VISITOR TO EARTH OBJ
SERVED BY LOCAL PEOPLE
EARLY IN EVENING

A flashing meteor, acknowledgment In
color, which lighted the sky with beau
tiful colors, was seen above White
Bluffs about 8:45 Thursday evening.
AS far east as Walla Walla and
as far west as Seattle and Tacoma,
the meteor was observed, crossing the
skies from southwest to northeast IN
liesurely manner.
Mrs. F. E. Taylor, who observed the
meteor here, said that it came over
the valley just above Gable mountain,
crossing nearly directly over her mouse
and disintigrated in the air, appar-
emily lust across the Columbia river.
Other people here saw the light OF the
meteor, and those who rushed outside
in time to see the flashing ball OF tlre
say that it apparently hit the ground
within close distance.
Seattle observers described it as be-
ing about as large as full moon in
size, and some said it broke into many
fragments, and apparently burned out
before striking the ground. Yakima OBJ
servers, on the other hand, said that
it struck the earth SO to 100 miles east
of there, accompanied by a noise like
the explosion of a bomb, and shaking
the walls of houses There have, how
ever. been no reports of the finding
of any meteoric fragments.
A meteor or meteorite is described
as being solid body reaching the
earth from unknown points beyond
the earth's atmosphere. Sometimes
there are visible explosions, and even
loud detonations are occasionally heard.
Chemically meteorites have the same
composition as our earth, the chief
constituent being nickel iron.

Newly-designed
Apple Washer
Shown at W.S.C.
NEW IDEAS INCORPORATED IN
EQUIPMENT TO HELP SOLVE
SPRAY RESIDUE PROBLEM

A new type of apple washing ma
chine was demonstrated to large
group of leading men of the fruit in
dustry and manufacturers OF fruit
washing equipment last Friday after
noon at the State College of Washing
ton, Pullman. Those from this valley
who attended the demonstration were
Ira G. Hawley and H. F. Paschen.
The new experimental washer was
designed and constructed by repre-
sentatives of the agricultural and en-
cheering experiment stations of the
State College, the Washington COM
mittee on the relation of electricity to
agriculture, and the Wenatchee Valley
Traffic Association. New features were
but recently added to the machine SO
as to incorporate the new ideas de-
veloped within the last years expert
mental work.
Some doubt was expressed by those
who saw the machine that it would
help the growers and packers With
their problems to any extent this year,
DIS UIlC llldCll1lC ID oO COlloUA uSVSA oAAoo
it would be difficult to incorporate the
new features in the older types OF
washers. Brushes have been added to
the washing equipment on this ma
chine, so that the apples are now
scrubbed rather than just washed. An
alkaline solution, sodium silicate, Is
used as the washing solution instead
of hydrochloric acid employed in the
present types of washing equipment.
Experiments have shown the alkaline
solution to be more effective in the
removal of lead residue than the acid
bath.
Tolerance for the coming season has
been reduced by the Federal Food and
Drug Administration to Ola grains OF
Head per pound, from the tolerance OF
OPS last year. Apples now in storage
will be allowed to pass under the .O25
tolerance. Arsenical tolerance is .Ol
grains per pound.

Fire Destroys House
On Gawler Property

Fire last week destroyed the house
on the place known as the Ira Jones
tract, north of town. The house, un-
tenanted for some time burned during.
the early morning hours. Neighbors
who tried to save the house arrived
too late to check the flames.
The blaze is thought to have started
from smouldering weeds which Mrs.
Rosalie Gawler, owner of the tract,
had been burning the day before. This
is the second fire on the property, a
chicken shed and some outhouses hav-
ing been saved from the flames by
neighbors earlier in the season.

Little Pruning Is
Best for Trees That
Are Winter Injured

Winter injured trees are seldom
greatly benefited by applying first aid
remedies, as is often done to injured
animals. It often requires three weeks,
and sometimes three months to deter
mine the amount of injury done by
extremely cold weather, according to
o. M. Morris, professor OF horticulture,
Washington State College.
However, there are two methods OF
treatment. The first, and most import
ant, is to improve the orchard condi-
lions so that the plant will have the
most favorable opportunities for
growth This includes providing album
dant water supply and high soil fer
tility. Careful and timely irrigation in
the irrigated districts and early and
complete destruction of all weeds IN
the irrigated districts should be
practiced.
The soil fertility should be improved
by applying quickly available nitrogen
bearing fertilizers. Winter and early
spring applications give time for the
fertilizers to be dissolved and carried
into the soil in time to be used in
the spring growth, Mr.. Morris explains.
Legu1ne cover crops should not be de-
stroyed nor disked more than is nee
essary to prevent such crops becoming
| a fire risk.
Pruning should be light and should
remove all dead and broken branches
and twigs, but no more than that.
Heavy pruning will result in the tree
entering the growing period poorly pre-
pared. Injured areas in the crotches
and trunk may sometimes be bridge
| grated to good advantage and this
work should be done before rapld
growth starts in the spring.
Winter injured trees will bleed II
large limbs are removed. This isn't
serious, but gives opportunity for wood
rotting fungi to become established
These wounds should be protected by
covering with an antiseptic paint like
Bordeaux paste, asphalt paint, oronite
paint, and similar materials.
