REPUBLICANS HAVE
NEARLY FULL TICKET
Filings Close with but Few Dem
ocratS i'm Race for Places
at Primaries

Filings for county offices closed last
Saturday with % candidates in the
field, IL of whom are republicans. Ev-
cry place on the republican primary
ballot will be filled with the exception
of assessor, for which office B. F. Ru-
pert, democrat, and the present de-
putty, will run unopposed. At the pri-
maries there will be contests for six
Offices on the republican ticket. These
are representative, commissioners in
the first and second districts, auditor,
sheriff, clerk and engineer. No con-
tests developed for the democratic
nominations and places are being
sought on that ticket for only five of
the offices.
Tho there are three candidates filed
for the Office of clerk, it is understood
that Miss Lea, present deputy, has
withdrawn in favor of Mrs. Dele, wife
of the present incumbent. Mr.. Dele
expects soon to be inducted into mill
tary service, which explains Mrs.
Delle's filing and Miss Lea's with
drawal. In the tressurer's Office the
same situation prevails, Mrs. Hunting
ton having filed to succeed her hus-
band, who has been placed in Class L.

TO REGISTER YOUTHS
JUST COME OF AGE
Those Who Have Attained Ma
jority Since June 5 Must
Register August oath

The needs of the military situation
are so great that it has been decided
by the President to hold a registra-
tion on Saturday, August oath, for all
men who, since June 9Th and on or
before the oath of August, have be-
come 81 years of age. The foregoing
is the gist Of a telegram received
yesterday by the local board from the
selective service department at Olym-
pia.
The purpose of the new registration
is to add quickly to the almost ex-
hausted Glass / to meet army draft
calls in September. It is estimated
at Provost Marshal General Crowder's
Office that the new registration will
bring to the service about 10000
young men, most Of which will qualify
for Glass / and therefore will join the
army probably within month after
their names are recorded. There will
be no new drawing to establish the
order of liability of the new regis
trants, as the 1900 numbers drawn for
the June 5th registration will be suf-
ficient to cover the August oath reg
istrants in the largest district in the
country.
The local board will arrange for two
registration places in the county, one
at Kennewick and one at Prosser. It
will be able to designate these places
next week.

TO HELP GROWERS
WITH WEEVIL PEST
State Horticultural Chief Says
that in Other Berry Sections
Danger is in Control

Control of the strawberry root Vice.
vii, which has worked great damage
in the Kennewick- -Richland district
during late years, was one of the prob
lens to receive much discussion at a
recent meeting of the state horticul-
turalists at Corvallis. As a result of
the discussion, the state horticultural
ist, M. L. Dean, writes that the dis
trict horticulturalist will be able to
render the growers a great deal of as
sistance in combating the pest. Mr..
Dean suggests that growers whose ber-
ry fields are being threatened by the
weevil, do nothing with their patches
until they have conference with Mr..
Powell. Mr.. Deans letter follows:
Editor Courier Reporter:
In view of the fact that the straw
berry weevil is giving the strawberry
growers of your section much trouble
in their strawberry fields, we have
been investigating the matter very
carefully, endeavoring to ascertain
some relief in the situation. At re-
cent horticultural convention at Cor
wallis, Oregon, at which representa-
tives were in attendance from all of
the western and northwestern states,
the subject was discussed quite care
fully and we believe that we have
some relief for the growers, for in
other sections, they have been able to
completely control the trouble and
wish that you would mention the mat
ter in your paper in order that it
might get generally circulated among
the growers. My suggestion is that
they do not plow, or in any way work
the strawberry fields at the present
time, because the district inspector,
Luke Powell, of your district, will soon
be in your territory prepared to
give the growers definite instructions
as to how to handle their berry fields
to get the best results in the control
of this pest. Mr.. Luke Powell was in
attendance at the convention and is
very familiar with the operations and
will be prepared to give the growers
a great amount of assistance.
With kindest regards, am,
Very truly yours,
M. L. DEAN.

BIG WHEAT ACREAGE
FOR 1919 is PLANNED
Government Proposes to Make
Next Years Crop Greatest
i'm History of Farming

An acreage of 47,50O,OO0 acres of
winter wheat put out this fall in the
wheat-growing regions Of the United
States will be suggested by the United
States department Of agriculture, ac-
cording to advice recently received at
the State College. Along with this
suggestion will go the slogan "a Lib
erty Wheat Harvest for 1912" and the
aim is to make the proposed Liberty
Harvest of 1919 the greatest by far
in the whole history Of American
wheat-growing.
The minimum suggested is to be
45,000,000 acres, which is an increase
of Z per cent over the sowing of last
year. The higher acreage, possible
in case conditions are especially favor
able to fall-sowing, is IL per cent over
the fall sowing of last year.
According to the advice received
here, the governments plan will fix
definite acreages for the different
states, and in Washington the plan
will be launched by the U. S. depart
ment of agriculture in cooperation
with the State College and leading
farmers of Washington.
Washington's minimum and maxi
mum taken and worked upon in the
1918 campaign were $4,000 to $780,
900 acres OF fall planting, the maxi
mum figure being a 200 per cent in
crease over the fall planting Of 1917
which was stated to be 422,000 acres.
The high record planting of the state
since 1913 included little over mil
lion acres of fall wheat in 1914.

FINLEY RANCHER
is ELECTROCUTED
Guy Moore Meets Death from
Touching Fence Charged from
Fallen Power Wire

Guy Moore, farmer living on the
river road near Finley, was instantly
killed this, Thursday, morning by cleo
trocution in coming in contact with a
wire fence over which power wire
had fallen. Mrs. Moore, his mother,
also received two shocks from the cur
rent while trying to pull her sons
body away from the fence; she was,
however, not severely burned. The
unfortunate mans body was badly
burned before help could be summoned
from a neighbor's.
The electrical storm of Wednesday
might probably was the cause of the
fatality. Lightning evidently had
struck the pole holding the transform
er thru which the current is conducted
to the pumping plant on the Moore
ranch. The power line pole had burn
ed down, causing one of the three
wires to fall across the fence. This
had set fire to some of the fence posts
and the fire had reached the small barn
on the Webb place next to Moore's.
It was to the burning barn that Mr..
Moore was hurrying when he tried to
go thru the fence and met his death.
The barn was destroyed but guam
tity of hay nearby was not burned.
Mr.. Moore was AZ years of age and
widower. To the 15-year-old daugh-
ter and the aged mother who are left
to mourn his loss the community ex-
tends sincere sympathy in their great
sorrow. Three brothers, G. R., of
Roy, Wash, L. F., of Gooding, Wash,
and s. E. of the Bremerton Navy Yard
will be in attendance at the funeral
which will be held from the Methodist
church Saturday at one o'clock.

SCHOOL STARTS SEPT. 8

School will open for the fall term
on Tuesday, Sept. 8. Tho the board
has had all sorts<of trouble this year
in organizing their teaching corps,
owing to the large number of resigna-
tions, they expect to be able to an
nounce the election of a complete corps
by next week, with the exception of
an agricultural teacher. Owing to
the seeming impossibility of filling
this position, the agricultural course
will probably be abandoned entirely
for the coming year.

WALLA WALLA COUNTY
LINING UP FOR DIR. SUMMERS
Voters of Candidates Home City
Have Organized Summers
for Congress- Club

With the organization in Walla
Walla this week of the Summers for
Congress" club, Walla Walla county
placed itself actively behind the cam
didacy of John w. Summers.
Now that the republican congress
ional race has been definitely mar
rowed to four candidates and second
Walla Walla candidate is no longer a
possibility, local differences and po-
Itical prejudices are being forgotten
and a strong effort is being put forth
in DIR. Summers behalf.
Unexpected impetus in this direction
has come from VIM. l.. LaF Gillette S
$4,000 libel suit against the Walla
Walla Bulletin, which has developed
a strong sskick-back" for the congress
man. Not since he voted persistently
against seven of eight important pre-
paredness and win-the-war measures
has the public's antipathy been so
thoroly aroused. Many voters here
tofore Indifferent have become active
and determined supporters of DR.. Sum-
mers, who is being hailed as the only
candidate who can wrest the nomina-
ton from the present incumbent.
That a similar sentiment prevails
thruout the district is indicated by the
numerous pledges of support which
every mail brings to Summers head
quarters in this city.
DR.. Summers expects to finish his
campaign as he began it, on a strong
win-the-war and broad reconstruction
platform. He will campaign but little
in his own county, but will spend most
of the time between now and Septem-
Der 10 in touring other counties OF the
district. He will visit Columbia, Gar
field and Asotin counties this week.

MINNESOTA is ALL RIGHT.

The Minnesota Recruiting District
is somewhat elated over the fact that
in April, 1,103 recruits were secured
in the state, which is believed to be
the highest record in the country.
When the final count was made for
May, however, it was found that 1,240
recruits had entered the service. A
rush of men during the last few days
Of the month Melted ITS May 81, which
was the banner day for the month.
The rush was largely of men 81 years
of age, who would have been COM
PEELED to register June S. This as
Major John D. Yost, Recruiting Officer
for the Minnesota District says:
''!Shows conclusively that Minnesota is
back Of the boys at the front, and can
be counted on for whole-hearted sup
port at all times"
