HIGHLAND ORCHARD
MAKES GREAT RECORD
J. O. Cleve Markets $13,OOO.OO
Worth of Fruit from Less
than Five Acres

A lew weeks ago IN an article
on the Kennewick Highlands
1919 fruit crop the Courier-Re.
porter quoted a little interview
with a grower who had just fin
ishedy picking 5000 loose boxes
of apples from 500 Winesap
trees. The grower quoted
was J. %. Cleve, who is now TAX
ing a vacation and visiting rela-
tivess in Minneapolis. Before
leaving Mr.. Cleve gave the Cour-
ier-Reporter permission to pub
lish. his crop totals, which have
been furnished this paper by the
Wenatchee Valley Fruit Ex-
change, thru which Mr.. Cleve
marketed his entire crop.
While we have made no, at
tempt to ascertain Mr.. Cleve's
exact returns in dollars and cents
as nearly as we can figure it he
sold this year from his 4.92 acres
on the Highlands between $13,-
0000 and $14, 900 worth of fruit,
mostly Winesap apples.
The statement of Mr.. Cleve's
crop as furnished by the Fruit
Exchange shows a total of 5,248
boxes Of apples as follows: Wine
saps, extra fancy, 163's and
larger. 1908: 175'S. $50: fancy.
163's, 4O9; 175's 29O; C-Grade,
1885, 934; 175's, 1856; tumble,
2O7; total Winesaps 4314. JON
athans, extra fancy, 1885, 155 ;
175's, At; fancy 1885, 1877; 175's
80; C-Grade, 1885, 191; 175's,
III; tumble, SO; total Jonathans
760. Spitzenbergs, extra fancy.
81; fancy 80; C-Grade, 1875; jum-
BILE 8; total, 21O.
Of the 4.92 acres something
more than an acre is planted to
a mixed orchard near the house
and from this Mr.. Cleve market
ed more than $500 worth of
fruit. The Exchanges records
credit him with 145 boxes of
pears, 48O boxes Of peaches, 115
boxes of prunes, 81 boxes of crab
apples and 10 boxes of early ap-
pies. While Mr.. Cleve has not
vet received final returns for his
apples, with his high percentage
of extral fancies his average
price should be around $3.50 a
box, which will bring his apple
returns to more than $4,000 and
the mixed fruits at prevailing
prices was worth between 5000
and $500. These totals do not
include Gull apples, which were
marketed this year at $12 to $14
a ton.
Mr.. Cleve's crop record is con-
siderably above the general av-
erase for the Highlands, yet
there are several other growers
whose orchards have yielded
as large returns.

Doctors F. M. Crosby and C..
D. Hopper have leased the Mrs.
H. M. Bartlett home on the
Highlands and will Immediately
convert. it into a private hospi-

beds in cases of emergency. The
house has full basement, is
furnace heated, is equipped with
spacious closets well adapted for
keeping medical and sick room
supplies. There is a bath on each
floor and wide porches along the
east and south sides on both
floors. The house is fronted by
a broad lawn and surrounded by

FARMERS DISCUSS
THEIR PROBLEMS
Benton County Farm Bureau
Elects Officers and Outlines
Years Work

The annual meeting of the
Benton County Farm Bureau
was held at the agricultural Of
flee in Kennewick last Saturday.
There were about twenty COM
mitteemen, representing nearly
all the localities in the county.
The projects of the agricultural
office were gone over somewhat
in detail and plans worked out
for the continuation of some of
them during the year 1920. A
report of the work of the Office
was made and this was approx
ed and some plans made for fur
ther assistance by the Farm Bu-
reau committeeman.
The report on the Boys and
Girls club work was also ap-
proved and a motion passed en-
dorsing the continuation of the
work.
Plans were made to continue
the pest control project and the
county commissioners were ask
ed to provide a revolving fund
of not less than $4,000 for the
purchase and distribution of the
government poison bait. The
government distributes this at
wholesale cost price thru all the
county farm bureaus where the
project is taken up.
After a discussion of other
projects, it was decided that the
representative from each dis
trict would call a meeting of his
local. committee in the Eext few
weeks and make out a program
of work which the particular To-
cality would like to have carried
on during 1920. The programs
of each of these local committees
are to be sent in to a county COM
mittee which will MAKE up the
program of work on the differ
ent projects for the entire coun-
ty. This leaves the type OF work
to be carried on in each locality
entirely with the local commun-
ity to suggest. A list of the
farm bureau committeeman for
each. district is given below and
each person who has suggestions
relative to a line Of work that
should be carried on in their To-
cality, should take the matter
up with their local farm bureau
committeeman.
The constitution and bylaws
of the farm bureau were amend
ed to provide a membership and
a membership fee of. $1.OO per
wear. The money raised for
membership fees is purely for
the conduct of the business OF
the farm bureau, such as paying
for stationery, postage. secre-
tarv's books or other incidentals
and for the expense of the farm
bureau representatives whenev-
er necessary. 1t was decided at
the meeting that the Farm Bu-
reau should send a representa-

Chicago Workers Split,

Chicago, Sept. 19.--Steel plants in the
Chicago district will be closed if the
workers strike Monday, officials said
today. No effort will be made to uss
strikebreakers, it was reported.
Plans to this effect were being work
ed out by corporation officials. They
believe that it will tend to prevent
bloodshed.
A canvass of the Gary, Ind, plant
officials of the company said showed
that $500 out of 1875 men interviewed
expressed the opinion that they would
not walk out Monday.
Union officials answered this with the
declaration that 9s per cent of the work
crs voted to allow the national council
to call a strike in case they could not
reach an agreement.
South Chicago steel workers were in
structed today to remain away from the
plant after they had laid down their
tools. Pickets sent out from union head
quarters, they were informed, win take
care of the nieket work.

MUNICIPAL PHONE
PROPOSAL REVIVED
lCOntinued from page onel

regarding the telephone situation. In
general these mayors were not in fav-
or of the new rates but at the same
time did not show disposition to com
bine with any city in fighting the tel
ephone company or to be properly rep
resented at the Aug. 27' hearing in
Portland
14mong those who favor a municipal
telephone and those opposed to the pres
ent rate, there is disposition to lay
low until the public service commission
acts. IF there is no reduction of rates,
then the municipal telephone PROPOSE
tion in Salem will become live one.
Parties interested in circulating Pc
tition, in order to get show down
from the city council, say the matter
will not be delayed day, should the
public service commission refuse to re-
lieve present conditions.
E. Y. Busselle, engineer, who at one
time proposed to put municipal tele-
phone in the city for about 100000,
knew nothing Of the proposed petition.
b. w. Macy, city attorney, who is un-
derstood to favor municipal ownership
for telephones as we'll as waterworks,
was unaware that any effort was be-
ing made to bring the municipal tcle-
phone question before the city council.
However, when the public service
commission makes its ruling ON the To-
cal telephone situation and if this rul-
ing is not satisfactory to those favor
ing municipal telephones, the follow
ing petition will be circulated for
signers and after sufficient number
have affixed their names, the petition
will be presented to the city council;

Gil of the city of Salem, Oregon.

T1ONIGHT the women Of Salem will
entertain the public with. an in

ct Of the affair is to raise funds
for the women s building at the Uni
versity Of Oregon, and the cause for
which the dance is given is reason
enough that it should be an unriyalled
success. Aside from the educational
staadpoint. the fact that at is the first
big affair of the season will, in itself,
draw record crowd Competent com
mittees have been at work all week ar
ranging the details, and under the able
direction Of some of the city's most
prominent social leaders the most in
significant items have been cared for
with nicetys characteristic Of feminine
skill. Decorations and music will be the
best that the Capital city affords, and
congenial floor committees will see to
it that every one in attendance has as
enjoyable time as possible. Unlimited
credit is due to Miss Marjorie Kay
and Miss Marie Churchill who, togeth-
