Letters from the People

Mr.. French and myself both voted
that the franchise be granted for one
year only and it is SO entered on the
record. ] suppose the incident closed
for the present at least but On June
Cd, 1919 the application was taken
from a pigeon hole in the n.ddls of
the session for consideration. 1t was
stated tina. Mr.. Gavin had not accept
ed the one year franchise granted ar
the previous meeting and in .he pres
ence of Mr.. Moulton the other two
commissioners voted for the five-year
franchise and it was declared carried.
However, Mr.. Editor, perhaps it is
just as well that this circumstance
occurred. This and similar events
have called public attention TO the
inefficiency and wholly undergraduates
of the ferry system as applied to such
travel as exists between Kennewick
and Pasco and this crystalized sem
timent has already resulted in such
steps being taken as will no doubt
give us wh2 we have long stood in
dire need ola bridge across the CO.

GET RID OF cULLs
Of. E. Bailw)

Now, at the beginning of the pick
ing season, growers must give con-
sideration to the disposal of their Gull
apples. Every pair of worms left to
complete their development in the or
chard or nearby packing shed, gives
a possibility of forty to fifty worms
in the first brood of next summer
which in turn may produce total of
eight hundred worms in the second
brood next year.
For this reason all wormy culls
should be disposed of in some way
that destroys the worms contained in
them. A reasonable quantity of them
may be fed to livestock for which
they make good form of green feed.
About the only other means of dispos-
al is the fruit products plant such as
cider mill, dryer or cannery. When
considering the price per ton, which
one of these plants will pay for Gull
fruit, the grower must consider that
it is worth something to have large
number of parent moths out of the
way before next season.

Mr.. Editor:
May not have the privilege of say
ing strange as it may seem-that my
letter anent the ferry situation was
not written to stir up any controversy
nor wrangling, and strange as it may
seem I have "failed to see" or hear
any controversy about it except your
editorial on the subject. That people
are interested in what happens re-
Egarding the ferry franchise seems to
me is apparent to all. My letter was
intended simply to inform those who
are most interested as to what had
happened to the program they had IA
vored and how it came about. My OBJ
ject in writing this letter is not to
stir up any strife, but to correct an
error which crept into your remarks
on the subject. I conclude you went
by memory and no doubt this accounts
for the discrepancy which is mislead-
ing.
The history of the Kennewick-Pasco
fvetyear franchise, beginning with
its appearance before the board last
fall while Mr. Houston was a member.
The discussion occupied quite little
time, Mr.. Gavin being present. At
one time during the debate Mr.. Hous-
ton said he would vote for it but subse-
quently, after examining the applica-
ton more carefully and questioning
Mr.. Gavin as to his Interpretation of
| it he declared he would not. I do not
consider that any formal vote was
really taken but the auditor declared
the franchise not granted and so re-
corded it. On March 4th, 1919, Mr..
French being a member at that time
the application came before the board
again for another vote. At that time

it is eodent that securing good stand
depends upon keeping the moisture up
to the surface until the plants are well
set. This requires a large amount OF
water, especially the first time over
the ground. Consequently it is inn
portant that the land be prepared and
seeded in small tracts. If there is wa
tie available for ten acres, for in
stance, on most land one should not
attempt to seed and irrigate more than
one-third of it at a time. After the
plants are well set on one-third of it,
the water can all be used on another
third. This might occasionally result
in the top growth of the plants in the
first seeding getting dry, but it would
rot sacrifice the plants themselves.
is evident, after making detailed
study of the experiences % such a
large number of farmers In the coun-
ty, that too much emphasis cannot be
laid upon the importance of keeping
the moisture up to the surface from
the time the seed sprouts until the
plants are well set. There are quite a
large number of newcomers in the
county. These, and many others, are
starting new stands of lafalfa and it
is hoped that the information worked
out by the earlier farmers may be of
assistance to them in avoiding costly
mistakes.
The agricultural Office will be glad
to furnish any further detailed infor-
nation on this subject.

HOW TO START
NEW ALFALFA
Moisture Must Be Kept Up to
Surface or Sprouting Seeds
Will Die
(Lee M. Lampson)

Considerable acreage of alfalfa is
being seeded in the county now and
more will be seeded in the next few
weeks. There are great many ex-
plantations why alfalfa stands are not
so thick as they should be. Everyone
agrees that there is great loss over
a period of years if the stand of al
falfa comes up thin because it takes
about the same amount of water, la
Dor, ETC., to handle it as it would to
handle a thick stand, and the differ
ence in yield represents almost total
loss.
Various amounts of seed and var
ious depths of seeding are recommend
ed. After visiting most of the alfal-
ia fields in Benton county and learn
ing in detail the conditions under
which they were seeded, we find that
the all-important thing is to keep the
moisture up to the surface of the
ground from the time the seed sprouts
until the young plant is well set. This
is not an easy thing to do, especially
in sandy soil, but it is none the less es-
sential to a good stand. If the mois-
ture drops away from an alfalfa seed
even for a few hours just after the
seed is sprouted, that plant is dead.
This accounts for the fact that in so
many fields there is good number of
plants along the bitches, but midway
between the bitches the plants are
very scattering.
Some of the best fields of alfalfa
in the county have been seeded with
eight to ten pounds of seed to the acre
and some of the fields where twenty
to twenty-five pounds have been used
on the same type of soil there is a
very poor stand. Using two or three
times the required amount of seed
will not produce good stand if the
moisture drops away from the young
plant when it is just commencing its
growth. Regardless of the amount of
seed, the moisture must be kept well
up around the plants from the time
the seed sprouts until the roots are
several inches long.
There are various opinions regard
ing the depth of seeding, but in start
ing some of the best stands the seed
was sown 2k to 4 inches deep and
some only an inch deep. In both cases
the stand of alfalfa came up thick be-
cause the plants were kept very moist
when they were young. 1t is, of course
easier to keep plenty of moisture up
around the seed if it is planted deep,
but deep plantink will cause the al
falfa to be very slow in coming up.
Since both good stands and poor have
been secured by light and heavy seed
ing and by deep and shallow planting,
