Fruit Growers Are Cau tioned to Combat the Codling Moth. Fruit growers are cautioned to spray for codling moth by State Horticultural Inspector Guy Graham, who issued a notice to that effect today. This no contains the directions that tice should be followed to make the spray effective. He said: Idaho While the frost did some damage, where orchards were located on low ground, most trees will be so heavy that they will require thinning. "The prospect is excellent for an ex tremely large crop of fruit in this season. "In order to avoid the great loss from codling moth which occurred last season the fruit growers should take particular pains to spray thoroughly the proper time. While it will requin at lease three arsenate of lead sprays for the codling moth I consider the calyx spray should be applied between now and the 12th of the month. Use 4 pounds of paste or 2 pounds of pow-jare dered arsenate of lead to 100 gallons of water, spray thoroughly with at least 200 pounds pressure and do not leave the tree until you are satisfied that every calyx has been filled." How to Treat Apple Scab. Regarding the treatment that should apply to ipple scab, C. C. Vincent, hor ticulturist with the University of Ida ho, has issued the following state ment: As it is a violation of the law of the state of Idaho to place upon the mar ket, scab-infected fruit, it W'ould be well for the fruit growers to plan an active campaign for the control of this disease this summer. Apple scab can be controlled by spraying with lime sulphur. To grow perfect crops of apples, spraying should go hand in hand with pruning, cultivation, thin ning, and fertilization. As no definite dates can be given for making various applications, it would be well for the growers to watch the development of the fruit and weather. At the Idaho experiment sta tion. three applications of lime-sulhpur, immer strength, applied according to the following schedule gave excellent results: (1) When the blossom buds show pink. (2) When the petals fall. Three weeks after the petals (3) fall. I would also suggest that arsenate of lead be added at the rate of two pounds to 50 gallons of water at the second and third sprayings for the control of the codling moth. Lime-sulphur, if applied too strong, will burn the foliage and fruit, hence it should be diluted as follows: Lime-sulphur testing 34 degrees Baume, one gallon to 43% gallons of water. Lime-sulphur testing 32 degrees Baume, one gallon to 40 gallons of water. Lime-sulphur testing 30 degrees Baume, one gallon to 36% gallons of water. Lime-sulphur testing 28 degrees Baume, one gallon to 32% gallons of water. Lime-sulphur testing 26 degrees Baume, one gallon to 29% gallons of water.

Aside from hearing the complaint of the citi zens of Salmon against the railroad the commission also heard a complaint orks Members of the commission against the municipal water system owned and opened by the city, At present there are two telephone companies operating in Salmon and the citizens asked the commission to force these companies to connect their lines so that people could talk from one to the other, The government has advertised for bids for daily mail service to Salmon, At present there is only tid-weekly ser vice. This service, the citizens set out their complaint to the commission, does not "reasonably accommodate the traffic, passenger, freight and United j States mail business transported by it." it is charged the train schedule is so arranged that traffic and mail service unreasonably delayed; that the ! trains arrive in Salmon between 5 and 6 o'clock in the evening and depart at 8 o'clock the next morning; that these hours do not allow the traveling public time in which to transact business and are very bad for the answering of cor respondence and mailing it. The passenger rates charged by the railroad are held to be unreasonable and excessive, based as they are at 5 cents per mile. It Is held that the rate should not be higher than 3 cents per mile. The rules of the company are also classed as unreasonable. The passenger cars used by the rail road are classed in the complaint as "old. second-hand, unsanitary and un safe, thereby causing needless risk to the life, health and comfort of the trav eling public." The fencing constructed by the railroad along the right of way is branded as inadequate to restrain stock from getting onto the railroad, and dangerous to the traveling public. PUSHES ROOT FOR G. O.
