8peda] to Independent
Spokane, Wash., Aug. 29. —
Electricity as an agent to de
stroy the codling moth and oth
er bug pests is the latest innova
tion introduced in modern apple
orcharding in the Spokane val
ley, where W.a M. Frost of Op
portunity, Wash., and J. C. Lav/-,
rence, a practical grower of Spo-|
kane, last night made what isj
declared to have been the first j
demonstration of its kind in thej
world. The test was made,in a,
six-year-old orchard and more,
than a sc#re of second-brood;
moths and many green aphisj
Ie killed in .a few moments. |
he apparatus consists of a j
age battery to charge the
incandescent light globes, each
ux sxs.. cctnuie puwer, vvnica axe
netted with fine steel wire, coat
ed with copper and tin, alter
nately. Attracted by the bright
lights in the trees, to which the
globes are carried at the ends
of a covei'edf wire, the moths
fly against the netting, com
plete the electric circuit and are
instantly killed, the bodies fall
ing into a receptacle placed be
neath the globe.
Frost estimates that one bat
tery to an acre of trees will
k§# the moths under control,
thus eliminating the usual
spraying and saving many dol
lars annually for help, equip
ment and fluid. He is now pre
paring to wire his orchard of
ten acres, containing 700 trees,
and several neighbors, who wit
nessed the initial test, are doing
likewise. . It is reported that
several thousand acres of bear
ing apple trees will be equipped
with exterminators by next
spring.
If commercial electric light
wires are extended to. the or
chard tracts, as they are in
many of the valleys in Wash
ington, Idaho, Oregon and Mon
tana, the expense of batteries
hiay be saved by making direct
connection. The cost of cover

The Flood of Strawberry.
The largest rise ever known
in the Strawberry river took
place last week. The new
bridge, together with its piers,
was washed out, and land was
overflowed that was never over
flowed before. Many crops in
the lowlands are a total loss.
The damage to crops and to the
land, could hardly be estimated.
John W. Smith’s gin house was
washed away and considerable
damage was done to his mill
property.—Sharp County ‘Re
cord.
Predicts 15 Cent Cotton.
John F. Boyle, Jr., regarded
as the leading cotton operator in
Arkansas, says:
“The new cotton crop will fall
short of 13,000,000, and I be
lieve we will have 15 cent cotton
; before New Year’s day.”
j Several other members of the
board of trade agreed with Mr.
Boyle in his prediction.

his old home paper, the Record,

transformation of the great
Texas Panhandle.
“Wheat threshing has been

weeks. Look in almost any di

smoke can be seen ascending
from the funnels of the steam
tractors employed in driving the
huge separators which thresh
from 1000 to 1500 bushels per
day. The average yield is very
low, but a few crops have yield

“The picturesqne cowboy,

the plains now. He has yielded
his dominion to the man who
uses “the things with handles
