SPRINGTIME ORESSMAKING} SPECIAL---25c _ For Springtime Dress Making NEW == TISSUE GINGHAM RATINE ORGANDIE SILKS VOILES WHITE GOODS GINGHAM PERCALES J. V. BAKER & SON Where Quality and Prices Meet GARDEN PESTS. Garden time is near at hand. In the past we have always had more or less loss and discom- fiture from the root maggots which attack our cabbages, caul- iflower, lettuce, radishes, turnips and rutabagas causing them to be unfit for table use if not en- tirely distroyed by the bur- roughings of these tiny worms. There are several varieties of these maggots but their ap- pearance and depridations are practically the same and treat- ment for one will suffice for the others. The adult of the cabbage mag- got is a small two-winged fly, about one-eight in length, being dark in color with gray mark- ings. It appears in early spring and lays its eggs on the stems of its favorite food plants at the surface of the ground. These hatch into dirth white footless maggots which work their way down the plants into the ground eating as they go. Once in the ground they feed on the roots and are capable of destroying the entire root of a small tender plant. If the root is not en- tirely eaten decay often follows which kills the plant. In about three weeks these larva trans- form into pupa and thence into a second brood of flies which ap- pear about the middle of June to middle of July. The best. method of control is to construct a frame over the seed bed covering it with cheese cloth. | This will be nearly one hundred percent efficient in keeping the adult flies from the tender plants, besides lessening the damage done by fles-beetles. As a maggot-killer one of the best remedies is an application of corrosive sublimate solution. The corrosive sublimate may be secured from your druggist, and be sure to get the powder or crystal form and not the tablets. Prepare it by dissolving in a glass or earthenware velles, as it will co! le =metal, one-half ounce of corrosive sublimate in a pint of hot water diluting to five gallons. A level teaspoonfull will make two and a half gallons of the i ge jo Acad cab- bages apply soon after setting out or a3 soon as the small white eggs are observed at the base of the plants, following this appli- cation by another about twelve days later. About half a tea- cupful is poured at the base of each plant. The late cabbages usually do not need to be treat- ed. For cauliflower apply as for cabbage. For radishes, turn- ips, rutabagas etc.,.apply along the row, using about one gallon to each thirty five feet of row. Usually one aplication is suffi- cient for the latter root crops, applying after they are above the ground. “The early fly’s the one to swat; It comes before the weather's hot; It sits around and files it’s legs And lays at least ten million os,” A little prevention may save the early garden. Cut out this article and be ready for the pest when your plants come up. Carl M. Grayson, Count’ Agricultural Agent. COUNTY SEAT NEWS ITEMS. W. G. Hanson, a well known resident of Grangeville, received the word Saturday morning of the death of his brother, G. L. Hanson, at Kooskia, Saturday, of pneumonia. Mrs. W. W. Brown gave a birthday dinner in honor of her husband and Reese Hattabaugh, junior, whose birthdays were Saturday. They have followed the custom of celebrating to- gether for the past ten years. W. G. Peacock will establish an automobile stage line between Grangeville and Elk City as soon as road conditions permit. Mr. Peacock expects to make a round trip daily. He is now operating a taxi line between Grangeville and Whitebird. Dale Eimers, son of Mr. and Mrs. John P. Eimers, of Grange- | ville, and a graduate of Grange- | ville high school class of 1922 has just received word of his ap- pointment as a cadet at the U. S. Naval academy, Annapolis, Md. The appointment was made by Senator W. E. Borah. Clarence Robinson, the 10- year-old son of Sam Robinson, of the Whitebird section, died Saturday at 2 o’clock of pneu- monia. A twin to the boy died just a month ago. The boys were son of Grangeville. A special nurse from Lewis- ton, Miss Ida Trescott, arrived in Grangeville Friday evening to attend Mr. and Mrs. Frank Mc- Grane and son, who are ill with influenza. Mrs. Henry Von Berg, mother of Mrs. McGrane, who is quite ill at the age of 85 years, was reported as holding her own. Novth and South highway between Grangeville and White- bird, particularly near the divide is badly in need of repair, ac- cording to travelers on the road. The state is doing no work on the highway. Melting snow is re- sponsible for rapid erosion on the freshly-cut road, with the result that the roadbed is being cut away in places. A small ex- penditure of money at the pre- sent time, in properly draining the road will mean a great sav ing in the long run, it is pointed out. EAT 31 EGGS AT ONE MEAL. All egg-eating records were smashed Sunday morning at Moscow, when Warren G. Nog- gle of Wheatland, Cal., formerly of Cascade, Idaho took the an- nual egg-eating contest of the Idaho chapter of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity with an assimila- tion of 81 eggs. This breaks all records set by J. Arnold Cobley of Victoria, B. C., who last year | managed to do away with 30. In addition to the eggs, all soft-boiled, the new champion, to fill out his morning meal, ate a bowl of breakfast bran, half a grapefruit, an entire orange and a piece of toast. The acidity of the orange and grapefruit prov- ed to be a great help in the long, last pull. Noggle weakened visibly with the 25th egg, but he manfully ordered six more. The distresy signal was waving, but the final six soft-boiled eggs in a glass were slowly but steadily deyour- . With considerable effort the record egg shells piled high in front of him and somehow he managed to smile. Noggle later attended church and ate a nor- mal dinner at 1 o’clock. The con- test was held between 8 and 9 o’clock. Otto Huefner of Kellogg, took second place with 28 eggs, 12 of which were fried. In addition, he polished off an entire orange, a whole grapefruit and a slice of toast. DELINQUENT TAXES LARGE Delinquent taxes on January 1, 1923, in 11 out of the 44 coun- ties of the state totalled $1,889,- 208, while on January 1, 1922 the total delinquency for these same: 11 counties was $1,086,142 Information -on the delinquent taxes has been compiled from annual financial reports of county auditors received from 11 counties by the state bureau of public accounts. The increase in delinquent taxes in those 11 counties for 1922 over 1921 is $303,061, or 27.9 per cent. If this percentage of increase should be maintained in the 33 counties in the state still to be heard from, the total amount of delinquent taxes throughout the state as of January 1, 1928, will be $7,233,569, according to esti- mates made at the state bureau. Total delinquent taxes of the state’s 44 counties for 192) amounted to $5,655,637 and the total taxes levied for that year amounted to $21,176,292. Esti- mates prepared at the bureau of- fice show that the total tax levi- ed for 1922 was considerably lower than for the previous year but that the total delinquencies will be larger so that the ratio of delinquent tax to the whole tax for 1922 will be considerably larger than the same compari- son for 1921. LAND CONTEST. Hugh E. O’Donnell, register and receiver of the United States land office in this city has handed down his decision in the contest procedings instituted by John Smith against the land entry of Roy Unzicker, involy- ing 80 acres of grazing land in} the Saimon river country. The decision is against Mr: Unzicker.

Hardy, | endthe contestee by Attorney Alez Kasberg. who stated yes-| terday that the case would be taken before the commissioner of the United States land offic2 on appeal.—Lewiston Tribune. grandsons of A.
