FROM TWO ACRES

Returns Frem this Years Cherry
Crsp-Ten Gents = Pound

r. L. Banta, of the Garden
Tracts. this morning received
from the Kennewick Fruit Ex-
change, check for Sligo. 20 in
payment for this years crop from
two acres of cherries. At the be-
ginning of the season, Mr.. Banta
contracted the entire crop to the
exchange at 81 per 10-pound box.
He sold, however, a few boxes on
the outside which brings his total
receipts from the two acres up to
81, 200.
The cherries were of the Bing,
Royal Ann and Lambert varieties
and were harvested from trees in
third-year bearing. Mr.. Banta
marketed his first box June 1 and
the last June 16, and received
full payment for the crop June

$9,76O

In explanation of the above
figures, Mr.. Lewis explained that
one of the janitors is engaged
the year around to care for the
grounds during vacation, that
electric service includes not only
light, but power for operating
pumping plants and fans at both
buildings; the insurance which
falls due this year is a renewal of
three-year policies.
Of this $29, 760 the district will
receive as it's share of the state
taxes, Sc, $40, and $5.415 from
the county general tax, leaving
SIS, 600 to be raised by district
levy, which on last years valua-
ton would amount to a 7-mill tax.
Mr.. Lewis also read a table of
comparative costs per pupil in the
high schools throughout this part
of the state, which shows the
cost in the local school to be con-
siderably less than in other towns
of similar size.

FIRST YAKIMINES

Kennewick's first shipment of
Yakimines was sent out yester-
day by the association. The ship
ment consisted Of five four-bas-
ket crates. The fruit was raised
by Geo. d. Peters on the High
lands. Those who know what a
Yakimine should look like, pro-
nounce the fruit the finest they
have ever seen. Every Yak was
finely colored and perfect in every
respect. 1t took just two dozen
Yaks to fill a basket.

25. He estimates that the l, 200
crates were not more than two
thirds of a full crop as the yield
was cut down by early frosts..
It cost Mr.. Banta a little more
than $3.50 to harvest the crop and
spray the trees. leaving him a net
return of about $3.50. He ex-
pressed himself as highly pleased
with the yield, the price and the
prompt settlement on the part of
the exchange.
Mr.. Banta has a 4-acre tract
and with the exception of two
weeks during harvest time he and
Mrs. Banta and the family horse
do all the work on the place.

LITTLE BLIGHT IN
KENNEW|CK TREES
Local Orchardists Are Fortunate
but Continued Vigilance is the
Only Protection

Just as kenneWlck farmers were
beginning to think they had lost
a county agriculturalist, Lee M.
Lampson, brown and sunburned
and looking as much a farmer as
any whom he advises, turned up
at headquarters the first of the
week. Mr.. Lampson had been
absent about two weeks, most of
the time he spent on the firing
line of the battle which is being
waged against fire blight in the
orchards around Prosser.
So rampant had the blight be-
come in that section that it be-
came necessary for the business
men to volunteer their services.
Morning after morning many
soft-palmed workers donned old
clothes, rolled out of bed at four
o'clock and went out into the or
chards for a days work before
breakfast. For a time it was
rather doubtful as to which was
making the more rapid progress,
the disease or the blight cutters.
Mr.. Lampson reports that the
situation now, however, is pretty
well in hand and he is of the
opinion that the orchardists work
ing under the direction of In
spector Luke Powell will be able
to stay the menace.
Mr.. Lampson says there is but
very little blight in the orchards
around Kennewick and the or
chardists may count themselves
fortunate indeed. II do not be-
lieve blight will ever become as
serious here as it has been in the
east end of the county and fur
ther up the Yakima Valley" said
Mr.. Lampson. mot because
conditions are any different or
that the orchards are in any
sense immune but because blight
first made its appearance further
up the valley and the farmers
down here were thoroughly warn
ed and watchful and have not al
lowed it to spread, and also for
the reason that there are very
few neglected and abandoned
orchards in this section. This
condition, which fortunately has
saved the local farmers thousands
of dollars, in no sense lessons the
danger nor calls for less vigilance.
The only possible protection
against the disease, is for the or
chardist to be always on the job
and when blight appears, cut it
out, today, not tomorrow.
