GOOD PROSPECT
FOR FRUIT YIELD
Prof. Thornber Issues Circular Con-
tanning Valuable Suggestions
as to Fruit Culture.

PULLMAN, April 11.-Nevsr in
the history of the fruit industry in
Eastern Washington were there bet
ter prospects for mammoth yield of
fruit at the present time Of the year
than now. Many of the orchards
have been badly neglected during the
past few years, owing to unfavorable
seasons, hence the orchards in many
cases are in bad shape, and unless
they are properly cared for the crop
will not be as good as the season,
from present prospects, would lead
one to expect.
In recognition of this state of af-
fairs, Prof. w. S. Thornber, of the
State College department of horti-
culture, is issuing a circular to all
fruit growers of both Eastern and
Western Washington, in which he
suggests ways and means whereby
they may materially increase their
fruit crops. Prof. Thornber says, in
part:
Very heavy pruning at this season
of the year may be detrimental to
the crop, since it disturbs the equii-
ibrium OF the tree, and tends TO pro-
duce a large crop of watersprouts,
or interferes with the setting of the
fruit. Light pruning will be bene-
fetal to the tree, and crop as well.
All injured or diseased parts of the
tree should be removed, making as
few large cuts as possible on the
body of the tree.
Keep the trees as low headed as
possible. High-headed trees are fire.
quntly injured in the winds, and
yield more windfalls, are more ex-
pensive to spray, and the cost of har-
visiting is more than in the case of
low-headed trees. 'Top-work the
trees at once. If they are known to
grow poor fruit. "P.-I.

ADVERTISING NEEDED ON COAST
Wenatchee is Getting Ahead of Yaki-
ma and Claiming Upheld Glories.

.NA-N NPiiSAu NioAASos
1t is now up to some enterprising
Yakima booster to get busy right
away and advertise this city on the
coast. To sit snugly at home and say
But Yakima is Better" is all very
we'll, but it doesn't get the neighbor-
hood advertised abroad. And if there
is anything that ssould be advertised
it is Yakima fruit.
These remarks are in order because
in both Seattle and Tacoma there are
to b seen exhibited in store windows
large plates of apples that look al
most as good as the Yakima fruit,
and each plate bears a card upon
which pas5ers-by may read: "Wenat-
chez Apples, the Fruit that makes
Washington Famous"
Such a SANDER on Yakima should
not be allowed. 1t humbly suggests
that the Boosters at once chip a car
tnad or two of apples to Tacom: and
to Seattle for exhibition purposes.
They might be put next to the We
natchee things and labeled but Yak

WATER RATES
TO Be FIXED
Ten Dollars an Acre to Be Paid by
Persons Holding Contracts With
Washington Irrigation Co.

SUNNYSIDE, April 13.-S. j..
Harrison, president of the Sunnyside
Water Users Association, has re-
ceived from Joseph Jacobs, district
engineer, the plan approved by the
secretary of the interior relative to
lands holding water right with the
Washington Irrigation company.
The plan provides that parties
holding such contracts join the Wat
er Users Association, paying into
said association such charges for con-
struction as should be properly as
sessed against the lands on account
of the improvement of the irrigation
system. The secretary of the inter-
ior has announced that. the charge
to such parties shall be definitely
flxed at SO per acre. This sum is
payable in either one or FIVE annual
installments and is the entire charge
required of such water users except
the annual fee for maintenance and
operation. During the period in
which these installments are being
paid all the terms and the conditions
of the reclamation act as to residence
and occupancy will attach.
Special forms of stock subscription
contract and water right applications
are now being prepared in the Wash
ington Office, and will, at an early
date, be available on application.

WANT GAMES WITH DALLAS
Many Basketball Teams Outside of
League Will Be Seen on Local
Floor This Winter.

Manager Kersey, of the Dallas Col
lege Basketball team, has received
communications from six clubs out
side of the Oregon League, asking
him to arrange dates for playing them.
Four of these teams are from other
states: Muscatine, Iowa; Pullman,
Washington; Nome, Alaska; and the
Y. M. G. A., of Salt Lake City. The
other two offers are from Pendleton
High School, and the East Side Ath-
letic Club, Of Portland. Mr.. Kersey
says that he will try to arrange dates
with all of these teams excepting the
one from Pendleton.
Considering that the basketball sea-
son is as yet scarcely begun, it is gen.
orally considered that the large num-
Der of challenges that are coming in
already, indicates full schedule for
the coming year. The shortness of
the League season will make it possible
for many games to be played against
eastern teams touring this coast.
Some of the hardest fought games
that the Dallas basketball enthusiasts
have ever witnessed will be played on
the court in our city during the next
three months, for it is known by exper-
ience that no teams but the best in the
East ever make a tour extending as
far as the Pacific States.
