brown soap shaved line and dissolved 

 in water, or soft soap, or nai)htlia soa]), 

 or lish-oil soap dissolved therein. The 

 third method is to spray with at least 

 ten per cent kerosene emulsion, or one 

 pound of fish-oil soap in five gallons of 

 water, or one pound of ordinary soap 

 in three gallons of water, or, perhaps 

 best of all, with the combined nicotine 

 extract and soap solution mentioned 

 above. 



"The spray li(iuid should also be 

 directed to the base of the trunk of the 

 tree, so it will reach the collar of the 

 tree where the pests are liable to crawl 

 down the trunk to get into the ground. 

 Mound the tree with earth and spra>- 

 the top of the mound, or pour some 

 lime-sulphur solution or other spray 

 liquid around the tiunk or to]j of the 

 ea:-th. 



"Remove the earth over the roots and 

 see if the woolly aphis is at work on 

 them. If so, cover the expose<l roots 

 with fine tobacco dust or pour over 

 them one of the spray liquids men- 

 tioned above and replace the earth."" 



The Baldwin crop of New York state 

 has all been harvested. However, the 

 crop of Baldwins is very light this 

 year. Greenings were sold at .'?2.75 to 

 •$3.00 per box, A grade; Kings at the 

 same price. Macintosh Reds sold as 

 high as *J.OO per barrel where the color 

 was good. It is reijorted that a great 

 many growers who are anticipating 

 better prices in the winter and sjiring, 

 have taken space in cold storage plants. 

 In the state of New York practically 

 all of the apples arc sold F". O. B. 

 alongside the railroad track. Very few 

 shipments are sent out on consignment 

 or sold through auctions. 



In the Northwestern apple exhibit at 

 the San Diego Exposition, is a splendid 

 display of ap])les from the ^Venatchee 

 district. A whole carload of apples 

 will be shipped to this exposition on 

 November Gth from ^Venatchee. 



Omak, \Vashington, in the ^Venatchee 

 district, reports it will ship 200 cars of 

 apides this week. 



A NEW OPPORTUNITY 



IN THE WEST OKANOGAN 

 IRRIGATION DISTRICT 



9,400 acres bordering the Okanogan 

 River will be irrigated with the com- 

 pletion of this project. This section 

 combines the soil and climate of the 

 most favored fruit growing districts of 

 the state, with unusual opportunities 

 for dairying and stock growing. A 

 farm unit of 40 acres has been estab- 

 lished and a price fixed on the excess 

 acreage of land by the Board of Direc- 

 tors, which enables the homeseeker to 

 purchase high class irrigated land at 

 prices lower than prevailed twelve years 

 ago in irrigated sections of Washington.
