Electric moth extermination tested in Spokane orchard demonstration
A six year old Spokane valley orchard hosted the first world demonstration of electric pest control using light nets and a battery charged globe system. Frost and Lawrence claim one battery per acre can cut moths and aphids, saving irrigation and labor costs, with expansion planned for 10 acres and neighboring plots. Indians seek lands via Nez Perce council action for $15 million in Northwest territories seized by the federal government. Aged couple, David Robie and Sarah Crocker, wed in Spokane courthouse with family witnesses. Robie formerly a Blacksmith and orchardist, plans a Midwest trip after the ceremony.
