Tho latest innovation in orchard praitid is a plan Ijy which the cod- ling moth and other insects are de- stroyed by electricity. The device v.as i-rivon a practical test for the first time, not long ago, in an apple orch- ard near Spokane, Washington, and was higlily succossful. A score of sec- ond-liinod moths and hundreds of green aphia were killed in a few min- utes. The apparatus consists of a stor- age battery to charge incandescent light globes to six-candle power, which were netted with fine steel wires, coted with copper and tin, al- ternately. Attracted by the bright light in the trees, to which the globe is strung by covered wire, the moth flies against the net work, completes the electric circuit and is instantly killed, the body dropping into a re- ceptacle l)eneHth the globe. The inventor thinks that one bat- tery to an acre of trees will keep the moths under control, thus eliminating spraying and saving many dollars for eqyiipment and spraying material. Me says that the fost of covering the globes with wire nets is a small item, and that any electrician can do the work. We are informed that several gre.vers in Eastern Washington are preparing to equip their orchards ⢠with this nrw arrangement for kill- ing fruit pesis. WHITE LEAD FOR BORERS. TOMATO OIL.
