Pest Lamp Subject
OF Experiments (

experimenting with a new type
of worm and insect DETERMINATION
the Pacific Power and Light COM
pany this week installed a pest
lamp in the cornfield of the w.
F. Shaw ranch.
The equipment consists of a 200
watt daylight blue lamp with in
sect trap attached. During the first
night that it was in operation, APP
proximately a pint of worms and
bugs were trapped. The present ex-
pertinent is concerned with the con-
troll of the cor1lia worm, although
the equipment is said to be fully
as useful in the control OF cooling
moths and other insects.
A similar trap, tried out in the
Walla Walla region last year, was
reported to have decreased worm
damage from IS per cent in 1885
to two per cent in 1895 on a five
acre tract.
Growers of the valley who are in
terested in this new method of in
sect control are urged by the pow
Ell company to inspect the trap in
operation at the Shaw ranch.

Tips Given For y
DaInp.H Storage

Heavy rains throughout the state
during the past month have added
many difficulties to the cutting and
storing of hay crops In some cases
the hay has been totally spoiled.
But in the majority of cases much
of the hay croy may be used, pro
vided proper precautions are taken
in storing and feeding it, says
Jerry Sotola, of the animal hus-
bandry department at Washington
State College
DiscOlOred Hay
Much spoiled hay is being stacked
and more of it will spoil because
of poor methods of stacking, says
Mr.. Sotola Such hay will be fed
to livestock in spite of the nolds.
To reduce chances of stock poison
ing, the worst portions such as
stack bottoms and moldy pockets
should be discarded.
Bleacfed, discolored and water
soaked hay has suffered much in
value 1t has lost aroma, is not
very palataible, is low in minerals,
and it is conceded that from so to
rs per cent of its vitamin A value
is gone. Loss of color and loss Of
leaves indicates poor hay.
In addition it must be kept in
mind that when moldy, musty hay
is fed, there is a constant threat
fof loss from poisoning There is no
actual proof that the types of rnolds
which ordinarily grow ON moist hay
will poison livestock However, the
conditions under which these 1nolds
grow are also favorable for the
growth of the poisonous types.
Spontaneous Combustion
Hay stored when damp or "green"
is dangerous A moisture content of
IS to 30 per cent is considered the
danger zone with loose hay, and
less than this for chopped hay. Bac-
terra may make the hay hot but
cannot set it on fire. They are de-
stroyed by their own heat before
the hay even chars.
If the stack contains no air, 1T
does not heat; if it has an excess
of air, it is safe. But if little air
reaches the oxygen hungry gases,
they absorb it eagerly, generating
more heat Should a large supply
of air suddenly reach them, they
are likely to react with the oxygen
so theoretically as to produce flame.
Nu1nberless other factors enter in,
and the explanation Is by no means
a simple one.

To eva1uate the charter, to examine it

accorded to every citizen. By careful
study each citizen will find in the Char

This is no ordinary type of municipal

Armistice Ended Golden c. Groves Military
Career and So He Became Member
Of Park Police for Many Years

The Armistice found Golden C.
Groves waiting at Union Station
for a train to take him to camp.
And since the war had ended his
military career before it started,
he decided to join the Park Police
instead of returning to his fathers
farm in Prince William county,
Va.
So he became a member Of the
force and rendered meritorious
service for many years before his
retirement, due to injury suffered
in line of duty.
Most of the duties of a park
policeman are in answering ques-
tions of tourists and in directing
traffic through the parks.
One day he stopped a visiting
motorist to warn him of traffic
regulations. The stranger leaped
out of his car, seized the officer
and broke his arm in two places.
He was under medical care for
many months because Of the in
jury, and finally was placed on the
retired list.

proited largely from its initiative and
resourcefulness.
Ely has done it by putting its best
foot forward. It has consistently ao-
vertised its resort attractions for the

has paid Ely with a very pretty penny
