No more tragic words fell from

terrible destruction that the ma

Press Comment
THE CULHANE BILLS
Hartford Times)

The legislature would perhaps be
wise to pay greater heed than It
has to the objections of the bank
commissioner to the amendment
to the Culhane bank receivership
bill. That will be indicated by a
careful reading of the message ac-
companying the governors veto If
the first of the bills.
These are the measures which
make the bank commissioner the
receiver of closed banks. The
original was found to be defective
In some respects, so the amend
ment was prepared. The commis-
sioner has argued that the amend
ment has its defects. His views
have been treated somewhat arbi-
trarily and dismissed by one sem
ator at least on the ground that
the commissioner is eager to avoid
the additional task Of receiver
ships.
That is hardly fair charge and
does not give sufficient consider
ton to the merits OF the commits
sloner's objection.

MILLION GAME
FISH LIBERATED THIS YEAR

Over seventeen million game fish
have been liberated in lakes and
streams of Washington by the state
game department since the first OF the
year, according to figures just re-
leased.
The fish planted ranged in size
from the small fry up to the finger
lings. The latter, about five inches in
length, are conceded to be large enough
to ably care for themselves in securing
food and eluding water enemies.
Silver trout lead the list, the esti-
mated number of these liberated being
12,6OO,4O5. Others follow: Eastern
Brook trout, 3,299,625 steelhead, L.
128,952; rainbow trout, 51189O; cut
throat trout, 1860; lock levens, As
600; and crescentii, 16,397. This brings
the estimated total to 17,721 1853 flsh
Paintings to date are not indicative
of what the years totals will be pro-
portionately. Heavier paintings in pro-
portion to the figures above will be
made of some of the species during the
latter months of 1885.
Trout spawn is being taken at pres
ent at four cycling stations. With nu.
merous holding ponds under construc'
ton and others being planned, the
game department hopes to be able te
rear an increasing number of game
fish to the lingering stage before lib

TEMPORARY EMPLOYMENT NO
BARRIER TO FEDERAL JOB

"While details with reference to the
new federal work program are not yet
available, there are some matters up
on which there is a good deal of mis-
information which needs to be clari-
fled at once" says w. w. Dillon, dis
trict administrator of the State De-
partment of Public Welfare, in dis
patch to the Spokesman.
Some people who are on relief have
gained the impression that if they ac-
cept temporary jobs, they will not be
eligible for employment in the federal
work program. This is not true. An ex-
ecutive order from the President, bear
| ing the date of June S, states among
other things, the following: That per-
sons shall be eligible for employment
on federal projects who in May, 1885,
or since have received pubic relief and
who are properly registered with the
United States Employment Service
Also that persons who once become
eligible for employment on such pro-
jects shall not be disqualified by tenn
! porary employment on other public
works or in private industry.
"In other words, any person who has
been receiving relief as recently as last
May or since and is properly registered
no matter whether he has since ac-
copied temporary employment or not
is eligible for employment in the new
program.
please note that it is necessary for
persons to be registered with the
United States employment service in
order to be eligible for jobs. Every en-
playable person on relief rolls, there
fore, should make sure that his name
is on the active list at the MRS office
Otherwise he might find himself eli
gible neither for work nor relief"

CHECK OIL SPRAY
INJURY TO TREES

According to observations made by
DR.. E. L. Overholser, head of the de-
partment of horticulture, and F. L.
Overley, associate horticulturist, both
of Washington State College agricul-
tural experiment station, many apple
orchards in the Wenatchee and Yakima
districts show characteristic injury
to the buds as result of dormant oil
sprays applied this last spring.
According to these investigators, dur
ing certain seasons oil sprays may
cause some injury to the buds of apple
trees, If applied during the so-called
critical stage or the period Of bud de-
velopment between the time the buds
first show green and the cluster bud
stage The injury is likely to occur dur
ing a season such as has prevailed this
year, when the spring bud development
is slow because of continuous cool
weather from the time the bud scales
start to separate until the time OF
blooming. This is especially true II the
oil spray is applied somewhat late af-
ter the buds have started to open.
An excessive oil deposit, such as
might result from spraying too long
on any one tree, respraying certain
portions, excessive spray drift from
winds, favors oil spray injury.
A quick breaking emulsion or a poor
emulsion of the oil spray favors the
building up of excessive oil deposits
Furthermore, trees or portions of trees
/, that are weakened from any cause
usually show the greatest injury from
oil sprays. Thrifty vigorous trees may
escape such injury when weak trees
are seriously affected.
| The portions of twigs injured by oil
spray may be bare of leaves, and ap-
pear to be in dormant condition
The killing of the lateral buds OF the
previous seasons growth reduces OF
destroys the leaf area that portion OF
the branches would normally bear
Often fruit spurs or the dormant buds
below the injured portions may be
pushed into twig growth and result
in an appearance somewhat like ro-
settle.
The oil spray injury may reduce
the size and color Of the individual
apples and lessen the fruit bud devel
opment for the succeeding year

HUNTING DOGS MUST NOT RUN
AT LARGE DURING NESTING

Bird dogs or dogs used for hunting
upland game birds should not be per-
mitted to run at large at this time
of year, owners are reminded by the
Washington state game department.
1T is a violation Of the state game
code to permit such dogs to roam
afield during the months of April
May, June, and July. Game protectors
report quite number of individuals
are lax in observing this law made to
protect game birds during the nest
ing season.
