Will Be the Total of the Yakima
Valley This Season According
to Best Estimates
BASKETS DISTRIBUTED
IN DICATE A LARGE YIELD
Five Hundred and Forty Refriger-
ator Cars of Fruit Have Been
Shipped Out From Yakima to
Date This Season

Grapes will be an enormous crop in
the Yakima valley this fall, unless all
signs fail They will be two or three
times larger, as a crop, than ever be-
fore. The valley will see the estab-
lishment Of carlot shipments on a
commercial basis Grapes have been
sent out here prior to this in car
lots but in isolated cases and the
bulk Of the business has been by ex-
press. There will be 100 cars Of
grapes in the valley this fall, accord
ing to the lowest estimates. There
are three or four ranchers who will
have half a dozen carloads each. AL
most every rancher will have a few
to market
Shipment Has Begun
Already 10000 baskets have been
disposed of in this valley and more
are coming forward. Grapes are
shipped about $500 baskets to the
car. The 10000 baskets already
distributed are said to be inadequate
- that there will be need for another
carlot for distribution. The grape
shipment has already begun and the
| movement will be on in full force in
a short time now. The price is now
somewhere about 20 cents a basket.
There is a feeling among some of the
growers that it will go higher. but
among the shippers the feeling is that
the fifteen cent mark will be reached
before the close of the season. The
argument is that the grapes cannot
be shipped very great distance and
| is a good crop coming north from
| California and the coast market has
limited powers of assimilation

Morrison speaks enthusiastically of
the grape harvest of the Sunnysde-

in the Zillah district and says that
later Selah will come to the front
with some good fruit. He says, also,
that the Grandview country is a pic
ture.
Refrigerator shipments out from
the Yakima valley this season, ac-
cording to the best obtainab BILE in

COVER CROP PROVES

Alfalfa, Clover, Vetch and Peas
Are the Favorites With the
Ranchers of Yakima

There is considerable activity this
fall among the ranchers Of the Yak
ina valley I'm the planting Of cover
crops Alfalfa and clover are the
most popular crops for the purpose
but hairy vetch and Canada and COW
peas have been used I'm some in

Is ideal for the purpose and many
ranchers who propose 10 follow mod
ern methods of horticulture are taxi
ing advantage of It, Some ranchers
got in their cover crops prior 10 the

ground as the storms left 1t
Doctrine spreads
The doctrine OF the cover crop has
been spreading rapidly and while the
best crop for the purpose liz and has
been a matter Of debate, there Is M
question as to the merit OF some crop
or other. In some instances ranchers
have been compelled for good rsa-
sons, to sow the crop which their
neighbors had selected rather than
Introduce a variety Of crops in a
small district where uniformity would
be more advantageous Horticul-
turists, seed men and others report
most lively interest in the entire
subject and there has been a demand
for bulletins and other publications
dealing with the subject of soil fertil-
ity. One interesting feature OF the
situation, according to those who have
studied it, is The indep dsnce OF
the various operators, each man max
ing his own Investigations and his
own determinations, but the majority
are deciding In favor of a cover crop

A HERCULEAN KATYDID

EXPERIMENTS conducted by natural
- ist attached to one of the Government S
scientific bureaus at Washington adduced an
interesting example of the strength of the
katydid. He harnessed katydid to kind
of sled made by folding piece of ordinary
notepaper, and then loaded the sled with
various articles. The insect proved able to
draw, in addition to the original paper,
twelve paper sheets each three by four and a
half inches, large screw, two steel pens, a
stone weighing two ounces, and three and a
half lead pencils.
When the weight became too heavy to
draw otherwise, the katydid got its fore feet
over the edge of the table for better hold,
and on the addition of another weight it in
creased the adhering power of its feet by
moistening them in its mouth.

A MIND READING TRICK

by means of the table of letters given be-
- low, it is possible to do some clever
mind reading, to the bewilderment of the
person "read." Suppose, for instance, you
do not know the given name of a person.
Get him to inform you in which of the up
right columns or column the first letter of
his name appears. If it is
found in only one column, it is A B d H P
the top letter; if it is found in c c E Q
more than one column, it is E F F ] r

RECALLING FACES

TN a New York minister's home there is a
five-year- lassie with memory for
faces. On the Christmas tree of 1909 there
were seven dolls for her, presented by vari-
Gus friends, where they remained for inspec-
ton during holiday week. Then the mother,
having the look-ahead temperament, con-
cluded that seven dolls, in addition to other
toys, were too much of good thing, and re-
solved to kidnap three of the family to put
by for the next year.
As no inquiries were made, she believed the
scheme had been carried through success
fully; SO last Christmas she carefully hung
the year-old dolls on the new tree. Next
morning accompanied by member of the
family. the little girl was taken to view the
tree Fixing her eyes on the absentees and
holding her dimpled chin with a chubby
hand, after period of deep thought, she
remarked in a puzzled tone:
"Now, where in the dickens have l seen
those faces before?'

HAS
GRIP ON WILD BOY
THRUST IN SCHOOL
Anacostia Waif to Be Taught
Usefulness of Knife
and Fork.

In the fields at the National Training
School for Boys, where the principles
of scientific agriculture are taught, and
in the shops where instruction is given
in manual training, they are tanning
the wild Boy of Anacostia today.
II isn't the easiest thing in the world
to get a boy who prefers a bed of
leaves in the woods to a soft mattress
in comfortable room, who would rath-
er eat what he can find than a big,
hearty meal with knives and forks, to
take much interest in things that oc-
cupy the minds Of other lads, but the
school officials Go not anticipate much
trouble in ''civilizing' him.
The wild Boy isn't really such
wild thing after all He is just a fif-
teen-year-old boy who ran away from
home and drifted from place to place,
derelict on the sea of life. He took to
the woods and the fields, eating what
he could find. and sleeping wherever he
happened to be.
Wild Life a Habit.
1t got to be a habit with him, this
kind of life. He forgot the days when
he had good home and a loving moth
er to watch after him when he went to
bed and see that the goblins and other
things that bring terror to boys and
girls in the dark, didn't bother him.
But the wild Boy wasn't afraid of
such things, anyway. He got up in the
middle of the night and sneaked out the
back door of the little home somewhere
beyond Falls Church. For a time the
soldiers at FYrt Myer looked after him,
and night after night they found a place
for him to sleep in their quarters. They
gave him food too.
Then the wild Boy" wandered of in
the woods. He doesn't know himself
how he has spent the time for the last
few weeks.
Beyond Anacostia a wild thing dart
ing about in the underbrush caused
much excitement. Persons who saw il
gave different descriptions, but all
agreed that 1t was some wild creature.
Captured by Policeman.
Policeman John n. Horton dncided to
solve the mystery, and in a thick Camp
Of underbrush he found the wild Boy"
Il guess they're going to send me to
that school where all the boys go when
the police get EN-" said the wild
Boy" who says his real name is George
Finacon, jr., when he was taken to Ju-
Tenile Court. Il don't wanta CO. though.
I've been sleepin' in the woods and liv-
ing in the woods, and there's where l
wanta stay"
But Judge De Lacy decided that the
woods was no place for fifteen-year-
old boy like George Finacon, jr., so he
sent the boy to the Reform School 9th
erwise known as the National Training
School for Boys.
The police are endeavoring to find
some trace of the boys parents and
learn how long he has been away from
home. According to his own story he
has not beer home for years. About
two years ago the police say they took
him in charge, but he was released on
the representation that he had found
good home with respectable people, who
promised to look after him
