Flag Raising
at Hanford

Sunday will be Flag Raising day
in Hanford. A musical chorus by
the school children and short ad-
dresses by G. A. Perkins and Col.
Mcdowell of Hartford and f. M.
We'll of White Bluffs, will make up
the program. The exercises will
be held at 9 p. m. in McGraw
square in the center Of town. The
flag is one of three purchased by
Benton county, one being given to
each Of the three commissioners.
A ball game is also scheduled for
the afternoon. Large delegations
are expected from Kennewick and
Prosser, and a large crowd will
probably go down from White
Bluffs.

Calyx Spray

The proper time to put on the
calyx spray is to begin when about
rs per cent of the petals have fall
len, and be sure that the work is
finished before the calyx cups have
closed.
The strength of arsenate of lead
that we ase recommending this
year is a pounds of the powder or
8 pounds of the paste to 200 gall
Ions of water. This should be ap-
piled With driving spray. Drench
the trees thoroughly, so that every
calyx cup will have it's portion of
the poison. Remember that the
poison put in the calyx at this time
of the year is just as effective
against the codling moth in August
and September as it is in June and
July.
If the aphis are present in the
orchard, it would be we'll to add
"Black Leaf 40" with the arsenate
of lead spray.
If you do your own spraying, re-
member that the most important
thing is thorough job, next to
doing it at the right time. If you
hire your spraying done, have ev-
erything ready when the machine
arrives, so as not to delay the work.
Remember that it is more impor-
tant that the work be done thor
oughly than too hurriedIy.

County Agriculturist Lee M.
Lampson was in White Bluffs this
week discussing silos with the
dairymen. Mr.. Lampson thinks
the concrete silo is by far the best,
and when constructed properly the
most economical. He says that if
all the dairymen here who are con-
templating building a silo this sum-
mer will club together in the pur-
chase Of cement and the hiring of a
good concrete man that the cost
will be nominal. 1t is reported
that there will be great many
sil0s built here this year.
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1917-05-11
Cows increasing
i'm Value Daily

While the dairymen cry of losses.
the fact remains that the COW is in
creasing in value and numbers in
our country. The crop reporters
of the Department of Agriculture
estimate that we have 22,768, 900
milk cows in the United States.
This is approximately one cow for
each family.
AS food producing animals, the
COW ranks first, the hog second,
poultry third and steer and sheep
last OF all. A twelve hundred
pound steer ready for market con-
tains only about three hundred and
sixty pounds of actual food. A
fair dairy COW at two yeats of age
begins to yield a-daily average for
ten months of about "a pounds of
4 per cent milk or its equivalent,
or about 900 pounds of edible nu-
trients in the year and continues
to produce the same amount FOR
seven years thereafter. In all, she
produces during her actual life
about $500 pounds of the best of
human food. Remember these fig
ures do not refer to milk but to
the actual solids-the food con-
tanned in the raw product.
Beef requires several years of
feeding while the dairy COW gives
to us in 'palatable' form, day by day,
the food consumed during the pre-
vious night. ~
Milk is a natural food. 1t has
been found by specialists of our
federal Department of Agriculture
that in energy giving power one
quart Of milk is equal to II ounces
of sirloin steak, or 3.4 pounds of
round steak, or 81 eggs, or 1917
ounces of fowl. These figures show
that milk at 10 cents per quart
would be a cheaper food than lean
meat at 20 cents per pound. Even
should it sell at Is cents per quart,
it would still be cheap source of
energy as compared. with the sir
loin steak and eggs. When we
consider the digestibility of the
foods, it will readily be conceded
that milk ranks first of all.

To Simplify
Help Problem

Orchard help problems will be
simplified to some extent this year,
by reason of the general construc-
tion of ranch storage the present
season, according to H. M. Gilbert,
in an interview with the Yakima
Republic. This ranch storage
means that fruit will be harvested
promptly in the fall but will be
packed during the winter months,
the packing work being strung out
over a considerable period. This
will go long way toward alleviat-
ing the problem which arises when
an effort is made to harvest, pack
and haul out fruit during the brief
harvest period.
Mr.. Gilbert says that his firm,
and he understands a number of
others, propose to handle out con-.
siderable quantity Of fruit, apples
of the best quality, in straight bulk
for eastern consumption. This pol
icy, also, will do away with consid-
cradle of the required labor in ma
king boxes, packing them, etc.
Some of the fruit will be shipped
in Jugs or some other such form of
package without standard packing,
but Mr.. Gilbert says his intention,
and he had heard others express
the same view, is shipment in
straight bulk lots. This fruit will
be taken to such eastern markets
as are selected and will be sold
there by weight, bushel basket or
according to any measure that the
buyer wants.
Paper is seven and half cents a
pound wholesale and orders have
been placed for almost all the re-
quirements, based on the fact that
it is the present intention to ship
much in bulk The box price is
IL cents, wholesale, which would
mean ID cents to the growers.
These are arguments in favor of
the bulk movement. The box or
ders have been pretty we'll placed.
By reason of these policies the
labor situation will be lightened
somewhat in the opinion of Mr..
Gilbert, who thinks, however, that
ranchers generally ought soon to
begin to give their attention to the
question Of housing their help at
harvest.
Proper housing means better
type of help and that it remains
for longer period. Floored tents
with wooden side walls, will be
used to considerable extent but
it is the intention of lumbermen of
the valley to offer, at small price
to ranchers, portable houses of a
Touchdown type which can be read
lily knocked down for transporta-
ton or storage until needed again.
This campaign Of the lumbermen
will result in considerable improve
ment in the housing conditions of
the farm help.
From statements Of Mr.. Gilbert
it is apparent that much attention
is being given the help problem
and also the problem of Iessening
the needs.

National Parks
Not to be Closed

Wnen asked Whether the nation
al parks are to be closed to visitors
during the season of 1917, Secre-
tary Lane stated that the persistent
rumors which have been current
for the past few days, particularly
in the Middle West, that such ac-
tion was to be taken by the Inter
ior Department, have absolutely no
foundation in facts. All of the
parks are to be opened at the usual
time.
The Secretary believes that the
entrance of the United States into
the war will not materially affect
western tourist travel. and ex-
pressed the conviction that the ma
tional parks will be quite as we'll
patronized this year as they have
been during each of the past two
years, when upwards Of 100000
people visited them. He pointed
out that it is even more important
now than in times of peace that the
health and vitality of the Nations
citizenship be conserved, that rest
and recreation must materially as
sist in this conservation of human
tissue and energy, and that the
mountainous regions of the nation
al parks offer opportunities in
abundance for thoroughly enjoying
vacation of long or short dura-
ton.
The Interior has taken effective
steps to put the parks on par
with the best-equipped summer re-
sorts in the world, and already
transportation and hotel accommo-
dations in several of them have
reached this standard. The splen-
did hotel system of Yellowstone
Park will be supplemented this
year by a system of excellent new
permanent camps, and ten-passen-
ger touring cars, supplanting the
ancient stage coaches, will offer a
thigh degree of comfort and con-
venience in travelling through this
great playground.
In the Yosemite new hotel at
famous Glacier Point, with every
modern appointment, will be open
ed for the first time, and in beauti-
full Paradise Valley, in Mount Ra-
nier Park, the new Paradise Inn
will welcome it's first visitors this
summer. In these parks also, new
transportation equipment will pro-
vide service of high order. New
hotels in Rocky Mountain Park and
the recently reorganized transpor-
tation service in Glacier, will make
the touring of these parks on the
| top of the Rocky Mountains de-
lightful.
Road improvement under larger
appropriations by Congress, supple
mented by the increased park rev.
enues, is moving forward rapidly.
Conditions for automobiing in the
parks will be better than ever be-
fore. The Department is giving
special attention to the stimulation
of motoring by issuing free auto
mobile guide maps showing the
road systems of the larger parks
and the State highways connecting
with them. New circulars Of in
formation for all prospective visit
ors will also be ready for distrib-
ution soon. The parks are not as
we'll known as they ought to be,
and the Interior Department is do
ing all it can to tell tho people
about them as we'll as make them
completely and conveniently access
ible.
