Cooling Moth Practice
Announced by w. S. C..

The discovery of an entirely new
|principle in spraying practice for
the control of insect pests, especially
those affecting apples, is announced
in a technical paper from the Agri-
cultural Experiment Station State
College of Washington, written by
James Marshall, assistant entomol-
ogist, stationed at Wenatchee. The
published article gives the details
of series of investigations begun in
1898, i'm the attempt to improve
chemical methods for codling moth
control ordinarily utilized in the
fruit growing regions of Washington.
! The application of various insecti-
cides without additional ingredients
to make the spray stick to the fruit,
quickly results in a maximum
quantity of the material being de-
posted on the apples. This amount
can be increased very little even by
prolonged spraying. The addition of
oelic acid, kerosene, or mineral oil,
and an organic chemical known as
triethanolamine in certain proper
tions, serves to increase the quaint
ity of insecticide that sticks to the
fruit, and thus increases the protec-
ton against insect attack. Because
of this it is possible to build up al
most any desired amount of insecti-
eide by prolonging the period of ap-
plication.
These new combinations are call
ed inverted spray mixtures, although
commonly known in fruit growing
districts of the Pacific Northwest as
Dynamite Sprays" Chemists ex-
plain that in these inverted spray
combinations. the water runs off to |
the ground, leaving the insecticide.
which is carried in the oil of the |
mixture on the apples and foliage.
This new principle, according to MIR.
Marshall, may be applied to various
materials now commonly used as
insecticides for pest control. Ento-
mologists believe that the discovery
of this new principle may revolu-
tionize spray practice for insect con-
troll.
The apple crop in the Northwest
is thoroughly washed before being
and is marketed clean and
free from contamination by ma
terials foreign to the fruit.

Russia's literary genius. Count
Leo Tolstoy, will give her long
promised lecture here at the
Washington Club on Friday eve
ming, April %. Proceeds will go
to the local branch of the Russian

The Countess has chosen for her
subject, "Tolstoy and Writer'S" to
be illustrated with slides of her
fathers estate in Russia, "1asnaia
Poliana," the library where he
worked, the meadows he so dearly
loved.
Adventures have been expert
enced by the Countess. When the
revolution came, all her family
possessions were seized, she her
self was sent to a. prison camp.
While in prison, she started a
school, the success Of which fl
nally resulted in her release from
prison. The Soviets furnished her

pressure was brought to bear to
use the influence of the school for
the spread of anti-religious prop
aganda, the Countess left Russia
and went to Japan where she
lived until 1881, and where she
wrote her two famous books, The
Tragedy of Tolstoy," and II
Worked for the Soviets."
