PARK SIX . ASHLAND TIDINGS Thursday, April 23, 1015 Of Interest to Apple Growers New Method of Swatting Fly Spokane, April 17.- Some of the Important incidental ratisea for the low prices received by northwestern apple growers this year which the growers themselves ran and should correct in the future, viewed from the standpoint of a man whose duty it lias been to inspect shipments at the principal gateways to the east, were Kiven by Sam CJ. Campbell of Hood River upon his return from Omaha. "Large apples from young trees, no matter what variety, should not be Included in the same shipment with those from older trees, because they do not keep a3 well and the result usually is that when the car is in spected upon anival at the market the buyer finds the apples from the young trees going to pieces or begin ning to do so and bases his price for the whole car on them," stated Mr. Campbell. "The best way for the grower to avoid trouble is, in picking, to keep the lar.no apples from the young trees entirely separate from those grown on the older trees. He should never pack them in the same boxes, and should keep the boxes sep arate. "Moreover, the grower, In packing, should in every case no exceptions eliminate all of the apples which he finds bruised or defective, because the fellow at the other end knows just as well what constitutes good fruit as the grower does, and, the way the luck seems to run, the buyer, in in specting a car, is more often liable to open a bad box than a good one, and the price for tho good stock suffers in consequence. This, to my knowl edge, happened many times during the past season. "An essential feature of loading the fruit few growers apparently realize how essential is that In every car there should be a manifest showing the tier sizes, which should be absolutely correct. Time is valu able at the market end, and frequent ly a buyer turns down a car, refusing to accept it or demanding a rebate, because the manifest is not right and his confidence in the shipment la de stroyed by that unfortunate fact. I cite this because of specific cases which came to my attention. " It is poor business to include" an Inferior variety along with a good va riety in the same car, and just as dis astrous to the grower to ship C grade with extra fancy. In every case where possible a car should be limited to a separate variety" and grade. Some times there is a market for mixed cars, but not often, compared to the number of such cars that were sent rolling to market this season. "The opinion prevails among a great many people even growers that when fruit goes Into storage it keeps indefinitely. Hut it does not. There is a limit to the life of any apple in storage, and shippers should endeavor to move their stock out of storage in time for the fruit to reach consumers In the best condition. Mixing varieties on the part of the growers sometimes prevents this, even If the shipper Is on the alert. "For Illustration. Wlnesaps, Spitz nbcrgs, Rome Beauties, Newtown I'ipplns, Winter Bananas, Ganos, Ben Davis, Clark Cess Delicious and Jon athans keep well In storage, while Stayman Wlnesaps, Wagners, Clack Twigs and York Imperials are liable to take on an early scald in storage which becomes particularly notice able shortly after being taken out and starts a quick decay. If the growers put there and similar varieties in stor ago they must watch them carefully and remove them before they begin to show evidence of storage scald." Flies in Sacramento will not be swatted this year but will be boraxed. Of the new method the Sacramento Bee speaks as follows: "City Health Officer Norman Wil liamson has decided to adopt a new method of coping with the pesky houso fly. He recently received re ports from the Department of Agri culture Ehowing that flies will not breed in manure where borax is scat tered. So instead of offering prizes for dead flies and inducing citizens to use the swatters, he will urge that borax be scattered about generously in places where flies generally breed. "A survey of the city will be made showing stables and othar places where flies breed by the millions." This plan might be well worthy of a trial in Ashland. FAC1L1TIKS OF AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT FREE IIllllSi..ii4..t 1 1 I H i I 1 1 M I -i T When the farmer wishes advice re garding practical methods of dealing with insect pests, he may obtain the same without any expense other than a postal card. This should be ad dressed to the Bureau of Entomology, United States Department of Agricul ture, Washington, D. C. More than 150 skilled investigators of insects are employed in this branch of the department actively engaged In study ing the habits of harmful pests, ex amining and trying out possible reme dies, and in passing on this informa tion to the individuals most in need of It. Not only does the Bureau of Ento mology give information regarding the extermination of well-known in sect foes, but it can usually identify pests unknown to the sender and rec ommend a ramedy. In this case spec imens must be sent by the person de siring the Information. The best way to send most insects is in a living condition with a supply of food in a strong wooden box, although they may be sont in alcohol in a mailing tube. By preference the experiment station cr agricultural college near est the timer's locality should be ap plied to first, as more particular and intimate knowledge may be obtained regarding the present activities of the undesirable insect. The bureau at Washington, however, also answers such laquirles, its particular sphere being to deal with such pests as are doing injury over larger areas than represented by a sinle state. Harmful insects are not the only ones about which Information may be had by writing to the department's Bureau of Entomology or the various experiment stations in the states. If some strange-looking creature arous es the farmer's curiosity, he may write to headquarters and learn as mitk as is known about it. No re turn postage need be Inclosed. The bureau has departments which investigate nearly every kind of pest and any farmer bothered with pests is at liberty to apply for information. m m .m .m. m..m- m m m. u..m..m. m m j WWWVt "I "I "FT'I1 The auto truck line between Baker and the valleys of Kasle and Pine is now a certainty.

How to Get Ready for Tll Summer's Files. In the Better Babies department of the May Woman's Home Companion appears some practical . advice to mothers on various housecleanlng matters. On the subject of fighting flies successfully appears the follow ing: "Flies breed and thrive in filth and carry it into your home. , "Be ready for them with screens and swatters. , "Repair broken screens. A hole In the screen may eventually mean a hole In your family circle. "Flies multiply In garbage. Have your garbage can emptied regularly and keep it covered. "After emptying the tin, flush It with carbolic acid solution, three ta- blespoonfuls of 95 per cent carbolic acid to each quart of hot water. This solution destroys fly life In egg or maggot torn."

Public education through magazines and journals is to be encouraged but such articles, in order to make them striking, should not be inaccurate or misleading. One well-known magazine recently published an article stating that a French chemist had discovered a "Morphine Detoxiquee" which produced loss of pain without harmful effects. This article should never have been published as the claims prove on investigation to be abso lutely false. Similiar statements appear from time to time promising easy, rapid' and certain cures for cancer and tuberculosis; promises which, it is needless to Fay, are entirely false. The cure of cancer and tuberculosis io. their early stages i3 entirely possible, but not by such short-cut and easy methods as the articles in question might lead one to believe.. Painless child-birth by "Twilight Sleep" and similar methods have been known for some years but have not thus far become generally used because they demand skill and equipment not always available. Lack of th's skill and equipment has caused deaths which have prevent ed some physicians from adopting these excellent ideas. Painless child-birth under scopolamine-morphine analge-ia and amnesia (i. e., "Twilight Sleep) is not to be employed at any time, in any place, and- under any circumstances. It de mands prepared environments, nurses skilled in the use of the proceedures employed, trained physicians, and entire absence of haste. One trained nurse does not suffice. At least two thoroughly trained nurses are required for each patient. The details cannot be carried out at home. The woman must be in the sanitarium some days before the expected accouchement and must be attended with more than oidinary care. - All this is expensive and limits the employment of the method to those able and willing to pay the price. The proceedure3 used in the Freiberg clinic are neither as efficient nor as safe as similar methods employed in America in which the amounts of scopolamine and morphine are re duced by the addition of nitrous oxid-oxygen analgesia as an auxiliary to the scopolamine and morphine. This combination with nitrous oxid-oxygen gas obviates certain dangers to mother and child inherent in the Freiberg method and renders the proceedure not only more satisfactory to the mother but also more safe and certain in its effects. One great advantage in the concomitant use of nitrous oxid-oxygen analgesia is that the degree of the analgesia can be regulated as occasion arises or terminatd at any moment. This is not the case with scopolamine-morphine, the dose of which must be sufficient to ensure freedom from pain for some hours whether it is needed or not. Webster of Chicago (Journal of the American Medical Association, March, 1915) reports excellent results from scopolamine-morphine analgesia and amnesia in conbination with nit rous oxid-oxygen analgesia, finding.it better than the scopolamine-morphine method alone. The states of amnesia and analgesia produced by these means are not at all the same as anesthesia. Analgesia meat s simply loss of the sense of pain without loss of con c'ousness. Amnesia, the loss of memory of sensations. Anesthesia, the loss of all sensations: i. e., com plete unconsciousness. By the simultaneous use of nitrous oxid-oxygen analgesia with the Ecopolamiw-morphine there is no danger of on over-dose of either the scopolamine or the morphiLe which some times embarrass the heart and respiratory centers in the spinal cord. Memory, also, need not be abolished; so that the woman may remain at least partially conscious throughout. By inhallation of small quantities of nitrous oxid and oxygen gas analgesia can be rapid ly produced and may be continued for hours without injury to tho heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, blood, or uervous system. If administered in large quantities anesthesia (i. e., analgesia plus joss of confciousne.es) results. Neither ether, chloroform, or any other known substance, except the combination of ni trous oxin and oxygen for the induction of narcosis can be employed for analgesia. Neither ether nor chloroform prevents shock in surgery or confinements, as is the case with the com bination of nitrous oxid and oxygen, nor is their action free from damage to the vital organs. Another refinement which has been used in America is the employment of local anesthe sia of the pain-nerves passing from the parts concerned; thus further reducing dangers, dis comforts, and uncertainties. To say that the children born under these methods are stronger or brighter than other children not so born does not indicate sound judgment. The truth is that they are neither better nor worse; but their mothers are spared a very considerable shock. Confinements by the methods in question are less dangerous to the life of both mother and child than confinements without such aids; just as surgical operations without anesthesia are more dangerous than when performtd with the aid of the most modern refinements of nerve-blocking and nitrous oxid-oxygen anesthesia. But, skill and-equipment ae just as necessary to conduct confinements by thee methods as to do up-to-date surgery and diagnosis AMTAMUJM THE 8 4 TTTT T TTf What do you wantT A Tiding rant ad tells it to more than two thousand people in a day.

The picturo and Mrs. Chisholm's compliments attracted a great deal of attention, and are reported to have caused a number ot Huntingdon men Mister KqueoRoe Out for the Ladies. who formerly opposed equal suffrage "Mister Squeegee,' the quaint fig ure lined in Diamond tire advertising, has joined the ranks of the equartuf-fragists. Mrs. Annie Davis Chlsholm is vice- chairman of the Equal Suffrage Asso ciation of Huntingdon, Pa. Recently Mrs. Chlsholm clipped from a Hunt ingdon newspaper advertisement a picture of Mister Squeegee, which was pasted upon a piece oT yellow paper yellow being the equal suffrage color and beside It the lady wrote this declaration of principles: "Let 'em vote. "I've got my umbrella, so it can't hurt me. "If they help make "Better roads, "Better schools, "Better laws, "Better food, "Better homes to decide that "there may be- some thing In it, after all." When the Diamond tire officials at Akron heard of Mrs. Chisholm's clev er plan to bring the men over to her support, they decided to furnish her with a big poster, showing "Mister Squeegee" seated upon a Diamond tire, with his umbrella hoisted. She was given authority to "work him for all he was worth" in the service of the cause thet is dear to her heart. Straw votes taken within the past week or two at Huntingdon indicate that the men of that city are exhibit ing a lively interest in equal suffrage and Diamond tires.
