 import into this state, sell, barter, or

 or has been infected with peach mil- 

 dew, peach twig borer, San Jose scale 

 or other insect pests or the larvae of the 

 codling moth or peach twig borer, and 

 the fact that any fruit bears the mark

Cabot's Quilt Insulation. 

 Since 1914 the price of Cork for in- 

 sulation has advanced over 100 per cent. 

 Notwithstanding the high prices of this 

 material Cork is practically unobtain- 

 able, owing to scarcity of transporta- 

 tion facilities and extremely high cost 



of freight rates from Spain, the home 

 of Cork. Fortunately, Cork is not nec- 

 essary for cold-storage insulation, in 

 fact it is now in a secondary place as 

 an insulator according to a recently 

 completed long and exhaustive series of 

 tests made by the U. S. Bureau of 

 Standards, of insulators which showed 

 Cabot's Quilt the most effective in- 

 sulator, and placed Cork Board second. 

 Other materials tested followed in 

 order of effectiveness. From this re- 

 port it will be seen that the shortage 

 and high price of Cork for insulation 

 purposes is not a serious matter or even 

 one for any concern at all. Cabot's 

 Quilt being composed of a matting of 

 Eel grass quilted between two layers 

 of Kraft paper, the eel grass has a 

 tough flat fibre that forms thousands of 

 dead-air spaces, making the ideal in- 

 sulator. Eel grass grows in the sea and 

 is composed of silicon in place of car- 

 bon that exists in plants that grow in 

 the air, and it will therefore not rot, 

 will not harbor insects or vermin, and 

 will not burn. As a practical test of the 

 value of Eel grass (Cabot's Quilt) for 

 insulation purposes, the ice storage 

 house of the Ashland Ice & Storage Co. 



Augiist 



at Medford was insulated with Cabot's 

 Quilt and produced results of far 

 greater insulation value than had been 

 estimated by the engineers for Cork as 

 originally proposed. In fact, the com- 

 pany were so well pleased with results 

 obtained that they state no more Cork 

 will be considered in their future build- 

 ings, Cabot's Quilt to be the insulation 

 material to be used. At one of the 

 Eastern Washington storage plants six 

 rooms were provided, the four nearest 

 to the machines were insulated with 

 Cork and the last two with Cabot's 

 Quilt, with results as shown by ther- 

 mometer tests covering a period of sev- 

 eral months indicated that the rooms 

 insulated with Cabot's Quilt showed 

 results equal to those insulated with 

 Cork, the cost of insulation being very 

 much less than Cork. The same results 

 have been secured in various parts of 

 the world, but particularly in the 

 United States, where Cabot's Quilt has 

 been used as an insulator in ice and 

 fruit-storage house and refrigerator 

 cars. — [Adv.] 



"Injurious Insects and Useful Birds" 

 is the title of a book by F. L. Wash- 

 burn, Professor of Entomology, Uni- 

 versity of Minnesota, published by J. B. 

 Lippincoft Company. This work is the 

 result of twenty-one years of expe- 

 rience in economic entomology. There 

 are chapters on modern methods in 

 farming calculated to lessen insects and 

 rodent injuries; insecticides and spray- 

 ing; the relation of birds to agricul- 

 ture—in fact the edition is filled with 

 vaulable and instructive information to 

 the fruit grower and farmer. It is pro- 

 fusely illustrated, many of the illustra- 

 tions in colors, which are remarkably 

 fine.
