Fruit Growers Buy Auto
For Use of Inspector

North Yakima - Owners of Is, 600
acres of orchards in Yakima county,
members of the Yakima County Fruit
Protective and Improvement associa-
ton, will be asked to contribute 5
cents an acre to buy an auto for the
use of the district horticultural in
spector for his work in the orchards OF
those contributing toward buying the
machine.
The fruit growers stated that they
will have the car within a week, and
took this action because of the failure
of the county board to provide q ma
chine.
The Embarrassing campaign was au-
thorized in circular letter by the
executive committee.
By cooperation with the district
horticultural inspector the North Yak
ina city commissioners believe they
have found a way to overcome the
legal obstacle to enforcing spraying
and pruning to eradicate fruit tree
diseases in the city. A crew under
w. H. johnson will start work imme-
diately. Privately owned trees will
be pruned or sprayed and cost collect
ed by civil action if necessary.

Parcel Post Ruling
Helps Country Editors

Washington, D.. c. Postmaster
General Burleson has decided to admit
ready prints, generally called patent
insides," to the privileges of the par

which controls in that branch of the
service. This will be great relief to
the publishers of small country pa
pers, as "patent insides" have not en-
joyed mail privileges and great diff
Guilty often has been experienced in
securing delivery.
Credit for securing this concession
for country publishers is due to
Charles c. Hart, of Spokane, WASH,
secretary to Representative La Fol-
lette, of the same state. Mr.. Hart
formerly was a country publisher in
Indiana and is familiar with all the
hardships Of the man who prints a pa
per in the rural districts. Mr.. Hart

introduced In Senate

Washington, D. C.-Senator Jones
of Washington, has introduced bill
providing for the adoption Of what is
known as the Oregon apple box as the
standard box to be used by apple ship
pers throughout the United States.

to be ideally adapted to the shipment
of apples, and in order that the public
may not be Disseminated against, the
senator believes that the apple box,
like the barrel, should be standardized.
"This bill has the approval of the
apple people of the Northwest, and is
a measure Of great Importance to
them," he said. eff passed, it will
insure to the purchasers that they are
receiving what they are paying for.
The bill does not prohibit any one
from using other boxes or. from MAX
ing imperfect packs, but in such cases
they cannot label them as standard.

New Experiment Station

Spokane-An advanced move in the
line of high school agricultural train
ing has been made by the establish
ment in Spokane Of an experiment sta
ton in connection with the North
Central high school. Two acres of
land have been granted for the pur-
pose by the park board. Thomas A.
Bonser, head of the department Of ag-
riculture, plans to conduct expert
ments with corn, wheat, potatoes,
oats, grasses, vegetables and flowers.
The department is one Of the most
popular at the school, its classes being
enrolled to capacity and many have
been refused admittance for lack Of
accommodations. This is the first city
high school in the Pacific Northwest to
establish an experimental farm, al
though some of the smaller towns are
doing experimental and practical work
in agriculture.

Berry Crop Shrinks;
Fruit Trees Injured

Greenacres - The trustees of the
local branch of the Spokane Fruit
Growers company has decided against
marketing strawberries through the
organization, because the acreage is
too small to make shipments in car
load lots. Many growers have been
taking out their berries as the fruit
trees reached maturity and this has
cut down the acreage.
A number of growers say serious
damage was caused to apple trees by
the recent cold snap, following the
warm weather. Sap started in the
trees and the unexpected cold weather
froze the sap. The damage is great
est to the Jonathan variety. On the
north side Of the tree trunks the bark
is peeling off.

Want No China Eggs
In Spokane Markets

Spokane China" eggs took de-
cided drop on the Spokane market
when the Schallinger Produce company
voluntarily delivered 1853 cases, SO, 48O
eggs, to be exact, to the city crema-
tory to be "incubated."
II don't know whether these eggs
will produce serpents or seagulls, .
said Crematory Superintendent Peter
son, who directed the cremation OF
the product of the land across the sea,
"but feel safer now that they are
here"
And the stokers of the city crema-
tory heaved sighs Of relief as the
60, 600 eggs sizzled and popped, turned
first to omelets and then to crisp Gre
matory ash.
This consignment of Chinese eggs
was brought into the city several
weeks ago by the Schallinger Produce
company, and a part Of the consign-
ment offered for sale in retail stores.
In q statement early this week,
John F. Arnold, manager Of the pro-
duce company, declared his belief that
the eggs were suitable for human
food. He declared his intention OF
placing several hundred Of them in an
incubator to show they were good
eggs. This followed the report that
part of the consignment was seagull
eggs. A bacterial count by City BAG
teriologist Patton a few days ago
shows 90. 600. 900 bacteria in one of
the eggs.
