to it that the blight is cut out of
their orchards as soon as it ap-
pears there will be no infection
for the bees to distribute.
There is no royal road to
blight eradication. Constant
vigilance and constant work is
necessary. Do not try to hold
the bee responsible for your
own negligence.

5000 MORE CARS OF
FRUIT THIS YEAR
Report of State Commissioner
Places Total Shipments at
1850 Cars

OLYMPIA, July Is, - Con-
sentative estimates in the fruit
crop report just issued by As
sistant Commissioner T. o.
Morrison of the department of
agriculture show an expecta-
ton of 1880 cars of fruit for
shipment this year, against
11,271 last year and 15,O55 in
1912. Increase is expected
over last years production in
all of the fruit districts of the
state, but only in the Wenat-
chez valley and erry-Stevens
county districts is an increase
expected over 1912. The larg-
est increase being in the Wen
atche valley, where it is ex-
pected that $500 cars of fruit
will be shipped as against 1872
last year and 1912 in 1912.
The "June drop" according
to the report has not materially
charged the outlook, owing to
the fact that the fruit setting
was so heavy extensive thin
ming would have been neces-
sary especially in the Yakima
and Wenatchee districts.
Of the pests mentioned, fire
blight is set forth as the most
dangerous and receiving the
most attention. The injury
from codling moth, rosy and
green aphis is not set forth as
of great consequence owing to
the large percentage Of ranch
ers spraying for these pests.
"In Western Washington,
says the report, '.'the number
of canneries greatly exceed
those of Eastern Washington,
even though the bulk of the
fruit crop is produced in East
ern Washington, only two can
neries being reported from the
east side of the state. EST
mate is placed upon the Sum
ner and Puyallup canneries,
the largest in the state, as hav-
ing an output this year of 470
cars of canned goods. The
prune crop for Clarke county is
estimated at 100000 pounds
and the berry product of the is
land districts is placed at 240
cars. Anthracnose of the ber-
ry canes is considered the most
serious pest to the berry inter
ests, upon which the expert
ment station at Puyallup is now
working and on which it short
ly expects to have a control
measure.

THE new CHARTER AND
and SOME OBJECTIONS

An election was held last
Thursday on the adoption oi Il
new charter for the city and it
carried by a vote OF 22S for, l32
against and three spoilt ballots.
a meeting OF the council was
held and the returns checked
up.
The new charter differs from
the old principally in that it
covers the enlarged area OF the
city and conforms to the many
changes made in the state laws
since the old charter was
adopted
Several peculiar ideas got
around about the charter and
what it was going to do, There
is Il clause covering the present
bridge across the Snake river,
which was construed by some
to mean that there was going to
be another bridge built, There
was some opposition to the city
looking after the City Cemetery,
but this was done at the request
of the orders controlling the
the cemetery, and viii be the
m cans OF making the place a
credit to the city. The features
OF the old charter providing for
the improvement OF streets and
sidewalks were incorporated in
the new and found some oppo-
sltion.
