The orchardists in the vicinity Of
Richland are busily engaged on their
third spraying this week. AS gen.
eral thing, great attention has been
given to this detail of fruit culture
this year and as there is big crop
of apples and pears in sight here, the
chances are that the farmers will be
well repaid for the expense and labor
expended in getting their spraying
done in a systematic manner. AS the
apple crop has been badly frozen in
other sections of Washington and Ore
gon the people in the Columbia River
Valley may expect banner price for
their fruit this summer.

RICHLAND EXPECTS
MUCH FROM COWS
Growing of Alfalfa and Corn has
Demonstrated the Districts
Richness for Dairying 49,

That the future of the Richland dis
trict depends to a great extent upon
the development Of its dairying indus
try is conceded by everyone who has
made a thoro study of conditions in
this section of the Columbia River
Valley. : = .... IT,
Alfalfa grows easily and large crops
are produced everysyear, four cuttings
to the season being the general rule,
yielding from six to eight tons to the
acre and being wonderful milk pro,
Queer. There is always a market for
! alfalfa hay, but the dairymen Of Rich
land are finding it much more profit
able to feed their hay to thorobred
herds of cows than to sell it on the
open market.
Corn also grows quickly and the
yield will compare favorably with the
best corn producing sections of the
United States, from sixty to one hun
dred bushels to the acre being the av-
erage yield on properly prepared and
irrigated land. Corn was exhibited
at the Richland Festival last Septem-
Der that measured 14k feet in height.
With an abundance of corn, alfalfa
and other ensilage crops is it any won-
der that the attention of the farmers
of Richland is turning more and more
towards the dairy business? Already
five distinct types of silos have been
erected in the district and several of
the farmers will build silos this fall.
It has been demonstrated without a
shadow of doubt by the dairymen of
Richland that a silo on the farm will
increase the production of milk to an
appreciate extent while the cows are
kept in ideal condition by having this
green ensilage during the winter
months.
Too much cannot be said of the hog
raising industry in view of the increas-
ing population in the Northwest and
the great demand for pork in all its
forms. Hog raising is natural ad-
junct to the dairy business, hogs
thriving rapidly when fed alfalfa, corn
and the refuse from the fruit fields.
Then the SKINNED milk from the dair-
les is a large factor in their growth,
producing hogs which will weigh from
$50 to 200 pounds when eight months
old. It is predicted that hogs will go
away up in price this year and great
many, farmers are starting along a
bunch of pigs with view to taking
advantage of any raise in the price
this fall.
The majority of the dairymen dis
pose of their cream to the Kennewick
Creamery, realizing the highest mar
ket price for their product while those
who make butter find ready sale for
it in the local stores and surrounding
country.
Within the past year a movement
has been on foot among the dairymen
with an idea of securing better sires
for their herds so that nothing but the
best in the way Of dairy cows will be
produced and as result number of
fine yearling bulls have been intro
duced into the district and it is an as
sured fact that within few years
Richland will boast of some of the
best thorobred cattle in the Northwest.

to face the cup. Officials at the ware
house stated that they were the finest
berries they had ever seen and Mr..
Paulson is delighted with the new va
riety, stating that he is sure that
more berries can be produced from an
acre planted to the Grand Pacific than
from four acres planted to the other
varieties in favor heretofore in this
part of the valley.
There may be lots of money to be

sured that they will steer clear OF
Richland during the month Of May, as
they know that by coming here they
will be put to work to help harvest
"the earliest Strawberries in the
Northwest" Hence the dearth Of all
news for the local column and the rea-
son for the slim condition Of the $50

pocketbook. 1t has come to a place
where one either has to give up writ
ing or pad out the stuff to such an ex-
tent that it ceases to interest anyone,
