BETTER FRUIT 



This Hood River Apple Storage House 

 IS INSULATED WITH 



Cabot's Insulating "Quilt" 



at the lowest cost and with the greatest efficiency and permanence. Quilt is made 

 of eel-grass, the fiber that will not rot. will not burn, will not harbor insects or ver- 

 min. It make a thick cushion of dead air spaces that keeps out heat better than 

 other insulators that cost much more and that are not permanent, sanitary or safe. 

 One laver of Quilt Is equal in insulating power (by actual test) to forty or fifty 

 layers of common building paper. It is easy to apply, low priced and never goes to 

 pieces in the work. 



Send for sample of Quilt, with catalog and prices, to

Conserve Wood Preservative — preserves posts, planks and all other timbers. 

 Cabot's Creosote Stains — for shingles, siding and other outside finish. 



United States Government Bureau of Standards tests show Cabot's Quilt more 

 efficient than any other insulator, including cork board. 



Golden Gate Weed Cutter 

 and Mulcher 



Farmers, order early if you want the Golden Gate 

 Weed Cutter and Mulcher, as the demand this year will 

 be great, as it not only cuts weeds, but kills them, and 

 leaves finely pulverized top soil. Cuts any depth. Pre- 

 vents evaporation by working under the soil without dis- 

 turbing soil on top. Write for circular.

spraying, lost from 10 to 2,"> per cent 

 cacli year. Adjacenl orchards during 

 the year lost about 50 per cent on early 

 varieties and 2,"> per cent on the late 

 varieties. 



The bacteria] spot on peach and plum 

 lias not proved amenable to spray treat- 

 ment. Experiments in controlling this 

 disease by means of nitrate of soda 

 applied to the soil were tried out on a 

 large scale with complete success. The 

 life history of the organism causing this 

 disease is being studied. 



The work of the present year on stig- 

 monose of fruits has given further con- 

 firmation of the previous year's experi- 

 ments and established the connection 

 of certain insects with particular types 

 of fruit spotting. Experiments on rosy 

 aphis stigmonose have been carried out 

 at Staunton, Virginia, and similar work 

 has been carried on, in co-operation 

 with the Bureau of Entomology, at 

 Wenatchee, Washington. The work in 

 Virginia has shown conclusively that 

 much of the so-called "York" spot of 

 the Eastern states is stigmonose due to 

 insects. This type of disease is, there- 

 fore, capable of control by spraying 

 methods developed by the Bureau of 

 Entomology. Experiments have been 

 made in the control of this disease, and 

 the first year's results of spraying show 

 that the shipping qualities of the fruit 

 from sprayed plats will stand up in 

 shipment far better than the fruit from 

 the unsprayed plats. 



Frank H. Lathrop has been appointed 

 research assistant in entomology at the 

 Oregon Agricultural College Experi- 

 ment Station. He will conduct labora- 

 tory and field work in entomology.
