WILL NOT HANDLE
TREE FRUIT CROP
Marketing Union Drops PROPOSE
tion of Handling morgan
lied Apples and Pears

1t was definitely settled at the fruit
growers mass meeting Saturday that
the Kennewick Richland Marketing
Union would not attempt to handle
the tree fruit crop this year. The pro-
position Of the unorganized tree fruit
growers as submitted to the Union
directors recently was not put before
the meeting for action because Of the
small attendance.
The directors refused to assume the
responsibility of enlarging the scope
and the fact that only a small percent
age Of the Union membership attended
the meeting was taken to mean that
they did not wish to assume the re-
sponsibility, consequently the propo-
sition was dropped.
The Union will be conducted on the
same line as last year with the ex-
ception that asparagus and cherries
will be marketed this year in addition
to strawberries and early potatoes.
The marketing will again be carried
on under the management Of p. r.
Parks, of Spokane. Mr.. Parks is in
the city today for the purpose Of
making arrangements for the mar
keting season. The warehouse former
ly occupied by the Kennewick District
Fruitgrowers' association has been
rented and the Union will open offices

These questions were answered in
the affirmative, most emphtically so,
and the Princess Theatre did not begin
to hold those who wished to attend
the patriotic rally Tuesday evening.
The theatre was packed almost to suf-
location and scores of people were
turned away from the doors.
These were not frenzied, excitable
hurrah-shouting lot, those people who
filled the seats or stood in the aisles,
but calm, sober, determined, liberty
loving men and women, reckoning
wars terrible costs, realizing that it's
tolls must be levied against their COM
munity and their homes, but ready to
perform to the utmost their duties as
good citizens. E sn
The primary object of the meeting,
which was held under the auspices Of
the d. A. R. auxiliary to the Red
Cross, was to raise funds for arrying
on the work which the women of Ken
newick have undertaken, and when the
appeal came for contributions to the
fund the large crowd responded splen-
didly. In few minutes following the
pvgram more than $500 was subscrib-

EXCELLENT RETURNS
FROM THE CANADIAN
WHEAT CROP
United States Settlers Becoming
Rich on Western Canada
Lands.

The large number of United States
settlers coming to the Western prov
inces OF Canada are easily explained
by the case of Mr.. G. Lacy, late of
Wisconsin and later of Alberta.
Mr.. Lacy came to Canada from Wis
consin in the summer of 1914 with
81 800 available cash in his possession.
He rented half-section of partly inn
proved land in Alberta and commenced
summer following. He broke 800 acres
with oats, 20 with barley, and 26O with
wheat. Also he had two cows and 70
head of young live stock. lie was for-
tunate in buying feed ut bargain and
managed to rent the adjoining quarter
section as pasture.
A few weeks ago he decided to real
lie his prOfits-and they amounted to
$4,000 absolutely clear from the crop
and the stock.
w. J. Winstead, of Brooks, Alberta,
says:
II landed in Brooks, March 18th,
1916, with one car of household effects,
and nine head of good horses, and less
than $500 in cash. / have put S1,5OO
worth of improvements on my farm.
have 81 head of Gait I 16 head of
horses, debts all paid, a new automo-
bile, and good, stiff bank account.
At present prices, l can cash in for
$4,000. / am well satisfied, and ex-
pect to double this next year.
/ have threshed altogether 1000
bushels of No. ! Northern wheat from
two hundred acres, which went from
"a to IS bushels per acre.
Seven thousand bushels of wheat, all
No. / Northern, two thousand bushels
of oats go bushels of flax, 700 bush
els of barley-all at market prices
well, figure this out for yourself at the
market price. / sold 300 bushels of
wheat at $1.74R, am holding the re-
mainder for $500. Also all the oats,
barley and flax for higher prices"
Intelligent farming pays always ac-
cording to Alex. Waite, prosperous
farmer. Some figures to prove his con.
tention that he has "made good"
In 1914 Mr.. Waite threshed 40 bush
els to the acre from n 30-acre crop.
This sold for 81 60A per bushel, which,
after deducting seed labor Irvine,
threshing and freight, left Il clear profit
of $50 per acre, or total of S1,50O.
From last years crop of "a acres, just
sold he received after freight had been
deducted, 81, Acknowledgement.

PIPE LINE ACROSS OCEAN
Irish Manufacturer Has Scheme Which
Will Save Shippers Consider
able Amount of Money Yearly.

An Irish manufactures has prepared
In detail a plan for laying an 16-inch
submarine pipe line between the Brit
ish isles and America, which, accord
ing to estimates, would transmit oil to
England at a small fraction of the pres
ent transportation cost. The scheme Is
described in the Popular Mechanics
Magazine. AS proposed, the pipe would
be made of steel ribbon on the helical-
tube principle, so as to be flexible. The
overlappings of the ribbon rs it winds
round and round itself would be packed
with asbestos Irvine. The tube would
be able to withstand an internal press
ure of 1000 pounds and an external
pressure of 10000 pounds per square
inch. Around it would be woven cot
ton casing coated with preservative.
TO give the pipe longitudinal strength
stranded steel cable would be put
inside. Twenty vessels would be en-
ployed to lay the pipe, each being as
signed a 130-mile section. The scheme
calls for an outlay Of $50,00O,000. 1t
Is estimated that the transportation
cost per 1000 gallons per 1000 miles
would be about 80 cents. BY tank
steamers it is about $50.

Admittedly the worst danger menac-
Ing transatlantic travellers in modern

are plying on the Atlantic, is that Of
collision with icebergs in n dense fog.
1t is morally certain that the mystic
rious disappearance of big steamers
like the Naronic and the Huronian
in more recent years and of many
others previously, is attributable TO
this cause. for no other agency is pow
erful enough to work the ruin of a

RECOGNIZED WORK OF BIRDS
Occasion When Growers of Grain Re-
sponded to Appeal to Save Their
Friends From determination.

Three hundred million dollars
worth of the cotton crop was damaged
by the cotton boil weevil in the last
year and birds, especially quail, con-
slider such fare treat and have
fondness for Kidding the farmer of
the enemies of his crops. What the
good birds do In the destruction of in
sects injurious to mans interests Is
little short of marvellous.
One year Mt the headquarters of the
National Audubon society wire came
stating: Birds are dying in Kansas,
Nebraska and Missouri In great num-
bers--result of sleet and snow" In
response to the wire 5000 worth of
grain, seed and chaff was distributed,
together with grit, to the birds and
saved many of the insectivorous birds
and game birds. The postmaster gem
eral ordered the rural mail carriers
TO distribute the feed free of Charge.

There is always hope for the girl
who is not afraid to say, II don't

wants to know. If this avowal of ig-

girl who tries to look intelligent when
a subject is being discussed of which
she Is entirely ignorant. No one will
attempt to enlighten the girl who pre-
