said A. p. Davis, of Washington, ID. c.,
chief engineer of the service. II was
out there Sunday and took look at
what has been transpiring and it cer-
tainly is pleasing. Not only has "a
large area, considering, been brought
under cultivation since the land was
given water, but the people who are
engaged in the development are get
ting results. I have been down in the
lower part of the valley for several
days and tomorrow 1 expect to make
a visit to the Kachess dam operations.

and We have all been greatly impress
ed with what we have seen. Yakima,
as l have said before, is the show

United States and / am always great
ly pleased when 7 see this valley, es-

BLUE SKY SWINDLES
FOUGHT BY THE u. S.
Director Newell Of Reclamation
Service Calls Conference to
Consider Loss Of Citizens

CHICAGO, May S1.--F III. Newell,
director of the Reclamation Service.
has summoned Representatives of
western railroads, state land COM
missioners and reclamation agents to
meet here tomorrow to take up the
question of ''blue sky" land invest
ments. 1t is said the federal govern
ment is considering a movement for
their suppression.
The prime purpose is to build up
the New West" because better in
ducements are offered in Western
Canada without actual conditions be-
ing better. The government is said
to have recognized that something
must be done to stop the removal of
approximately 100000 families year
from the United States
The continued exposure of fake
land companies which, it is claimed.
have mulcted investors out of lareg
sums by inducing them to buy land
which is worthless, or, to which they
have no more title than to claim on
the blue sky, is blamed for the large
emigration to Canada. From this is
taken the nickname of the law which
Kansas passed to outlaw such con-
Germs.

Arrange a Transfer

Steve Hepton was in North Yakima

1900 head of cattle purchased in Mon

through in fair shape though he met
with loss or two owing to delays en-
route. The range is in excellent con-
dition and he anticipates good de-
ve,opment the coming season. l..
Warden of the Wlnas, who Is a part
ner there with II. Stanley Coffin, was
in to North Yakima to meet Mr.. Hep
ton and it is likely they will make d
deal under which a hundred head
from Malaga will be brought here and
turned in on the Wenas. Mr.. Warden
says the grass is coming along spien-
didly and that on the north slope it
is in excellent coEdition right at this
moment. Some of the other has got
too coarse for sheep. The grazing this
season. he says. was both early and
late with the result that the stock

DATES FOR SPRAYING
ARE A VITAL MATTER
Foreign Inspection This Season
Will Be Much More Rigid Than
Has Ever Been Encountered

Every Yakima apple which goes in
to the Canadian country this year
will go in on it's merits. OF this there
is no doubt. Canadian inspectors who
were here a few months ago pointed
out that their inspection, though 1t
appeared rigid last year, was in re-
atty lax because of the scarcity of
Canadian fruit and that the bars had
purposely been lowered. This year,
with good crop, they said the con-
ditions would be different and that
nothing would be allowed in that had
not actually earned it's way. This
same Information has reached various

the inspection there is much more
particular than in Canada, and we are
very anxious that our big crop Of APP
pies be clean and free from worms.
Owing to the warm, rapidly growing
weather at the times of our first
spraying many of the apples grew so
rapidly that the season for spraying
was short and the calix cup closed in
many instances 5 before it could be
filed with spray. According to MIR.
Morrison, the cooling moth worm will

than in ordinary years that there

that we must spray at least three
