SUGGESTION TO
SCHOOL PATRONS
Superintendent M. s. Lewis Asks
the Cooperation of Parents
of School Children

Superintendent M. S. Lewis return
ed Tuesday from his summer vacation
and is already in harness and busy
with details for the opening of anoth-
er year of school. Some few changes
have been made in practices of for
mer years and Mr.. Lewis offers the
following suggestions to parents:
Before the opening of school this
year would like to call the attention
of patrons to a slight change to be
made in the requirements concerning
the book deposits made by the child
rem. Heretofore the teachers have
given receipts to the children at the
time the book deposits were made, but
these receipts will no longer be is
sued. The reason for this change Of
plan is that fully half the children
lose their receipts between the time
they get them in the fall and the time
to surrender them and receive the re-
turn of their deposits in the spring.
The children are paid their deposits
none the less, the record of the teach
er being accepted whether the receipt
is returned or not. Sometimes these
receipts are later discovered and a
controversy arises over them, and it
is to obviate the possibility of such
controversies that it has been deter
mined to no longer issued receipts.
Parents of high school students,
particularly of those entering this
year, are respectfully requested to ad-
wise with their children concerning the
courses they are to take in the high
school. Certain courses are required
in each year of the high school course

West LOOKS GOOD
TO LOCAL PASTOR
Rev. C. d. Rarey Writes that
Conditions in the Northwest
are Not Too Bad
(By Rev. C. D. Rarey)

It has been a great pleasure to see
the old friends and visit the places of
pleasant memories of the past. Sum
day was spent at summer camp
ground where we were entertained
at the beautiful summer home Of Cath
erine Hettler. The. resort is located
on the west end of Lake Wawasee, the
largest and most beautiful lake in
Indiana. There were nearly 200 autos
here and were over 200 the Sunday
before.
The attendance at Sunday school
was over 500 and the collection, was
over 5000. :
Monday forenoon we were taken by
auto to Nappanee where had the
privilege to address . crowd Of old
friends and show them pictures Of
Kennewick and the great Northwest.
More than one Of our friends ex-
pressed desire to go out west and
promised to see Kennewick.
Tuesday we will go by interurban
to Huntington and on Wednesday to
Fl. Wayne. At both places I am to
speak and show slides Of the North
west.
Before returning will also speak
at Kohorlo, my old home town. The
people are anxious to hear cf he
NorthD est.
The weather has been 50 against
the c,tps that many of ths farmer
are discouraged. Three-fourths Of
the wheat and about all the cats are
sti! in .he fields. The rair has pre-
vented threshing the grain.
The streams here seem so small
and dirty compared with the grand
old Columbia river. While we enjoy
meeting the old friends, Washington
looks good to us and we will be glad
to be back home.

LOCAL ORCHARDS
NOT BADLY INFECTED
Plant Pathologist Fails to Find
q Here Many of Ills Common
to Fruit Trees

That the Kennewick orchards and
gardens are exceptionally free from
pests is the good word which DR.. F.
D. Heald, plant pathologist of the
experiment station at Pullman, left
behind him after a two-days' inspec-
ton tour through this district last
week. DR.. Heald, who is making a
study of tomato blight in the Yakima
and Columbia valleys in company with
assistant horticultural inspector VIM.
Meikle made the rounds of the or
chards in this vicinity.
Mr.. Meikle showed the visiting ex-
pert cases Of all the germ pests he
has met with and was pleased to re-
ceive the information that there are
a lot more to which the Kennewick
orchards have not fallen heir, and
that some which it was thought had
existed here, do not really exist. This
is true of the shot-hole fungus to over
come which some of the cherry grow
ers have been spraying their orchards
every year. DR.. Heald declared that
he found no traces Of this pest and
that the spraying had been for naught.
This is true Of apple canker which
was thought to have infected some OF
orchards.
, Asked what he thought Of the blight
situation, DR.. Heald said he had
found nothing Of an alarming nature
and that the Kennewick orchards were
freer from this pest than almost any
other in eastern or central Washing
ton fruit growing districts.
The expert attributes the cleanli-
ness of local orchards partly to cli-
matte conditions and partly to the
newness of the fruit industry here. He
believes that at least some OF the
pests which have not yet arrived will
show up in later years.

tons day. Sacking would probably
require third man.
Mr.. Pratt, as manager Of the EN-
pire Grain company, intends this fall
to begin an active campaign for mar
keting chopped hay, in fact he is al
ready busy on the sack proposition.
County Agriculturalist Lee M. Lamp
son has orders for $50 tons Of chop
ped alfalfa hay provided it can be
shipped to coast points by boat. If
Mr.. Pratt succeeds in securing sacks,
it is probable that the Northwest's
first shipment of sacked alfalfa will
go out of Kennewick within the next
few weeks.

MAN g..
Sees LOCAL ROADS
Engineer of Federal Good Roads
Bureau Makes Trip over Fin i
ley and Richland Highways

For the purpose Of ascertaining
what problems confront the people
of this end Of the county in the mat
ter Of building good roads, T. War
rem Allen, chief Of National Park
roads, visited Kennewick Saturday
and Sunday.
Saturday evening Mr.. Allen was ta-
ken over the Kennewick- Finley state
highway by Chairman F. M. Crosby,
other members Of the Commercial
club, and Sunday morning a similar
trip was made over the Kennewick-
Richland road. Later in the day the
engineer accompanied by Contractor
Morain and the committeeman in
spected the gravel pit from which ma
terial for the Finley road was taken.
The object Of Mr.. Aliens visit was
arrange for a series Of good roads
lectures to be given here this fall by
government experts. Mr.. Allen, who
is a practical road builder, win COM
pile notes of his trip so that the
speakers who are to follow may know
just what the conditions are in this
district.
The engineer agreed with Mr.. Mo-
rain that the gravel from the Lum
pit is rather poor stuff. He is Of the
opinion that better results would
have been obtained had the fine sand
been screened from it and soil or clay
been flushed into the spread surface
as binder. He believes the raveling
Of the road in places is due to the
presence Of this sand.

SCRAP HEAP FOR 4.
THE HAY BALER
Sacked Alfalfa is to Put Time
Honored Machine Out Of
Business, Says Pratt

That the hay baler is slated for the
scrap heap, is the belief Of B. E.
Pratt, manager Of the Meadow Brook
Farm and the Empire Grain company.
"What do you mean-scrap heap?"
Mr.. Pratt was asked. 81 mean that
hay ranchers are waking up to the
fact that they have been doing a lot
Of work and spending q lot Of money
for nothing and they are going to cut
it out.
"Baling is an absolute waste. It
adds about rs per cent to the cost Of
the hay and adds nothing to its value
-in fact it detracts from the value
Of the hay in the stack as there is al
ways more or less waste in baling.
The only object in baling hay, Of
course, is to put it into convenient
form for handling and shipping. Now
then, II this one advantage can be
secured in a manner that will cost
no more in time and money and will
at the same time add to the real val
ue of the hay, where is the old baler
going to get of at? f
'This can be done by chopping the
hay and the time Is not very far dis
tant when chopped hay is going to
supplant baled hay on the market.
II costs no more to chop hay than it
does to bale it and the chopping adds
fully 25 per cent to the feeding value
Of the hay. In other words chopping
win pay it's own way. while baling
is . dead loss" ..t.o
"But how do you propose to handle
the hay after it is chopped" was asked.
"In large sacks Ike hops or WOO" |"
replied Mr.. Pratt. Experiments con-
Quoted in the Prosser district last year
showed that it is possible to get the
minimum weight Of chopped hay into
q car loose. Still more weight could
be gotten in If the hay were sacked.
There is no reason why, after the hay
has been marketed, the sacks could
not be returned to the shipper at prac-
tically their first cost. In this way
the sack would be but q nominal item
Of expense.
"Of course it will take some time
to educate the trade out Of the baled
rut but it can and will be done. AZ
ter the purchaser has tried chopped
hay and compared its feeding value.
he will not be hard to educate"
Mr.. Pratt became q chopped hay en-
thusiast last winter when he chopped
all the hay fed on Meadow Brook
farm. After the irrigating season
was over he built frame on the
running gears of wagon, mounted
one Of his irrigation motors at one
end and the chopper at the other,
backed into hay stack and started
the machinery. He found that two
linen could easily handle and chop five
