VALLEY DAY AT
THE STATE FAIR
All Towns of the Valley Are
Asked to Meet Their Neigh
bors September 21.

Yakima valley day will be observed
at the Washington state fair, Yaki.
ma, on Tuesday, September 21, and j,
is expected to be the outstanding day
of the week. Judging from the in.
terest displayed throughout the val
ley, according to G. o. Finley, secre-
tary, it is not unlikely that attendance
records will be broken on Yakima val.
ley day.
Every town in the valley is being
invited to make the occasion sort Of
civic outing, Secretary Finley says
He has issued invitations to all ma.
yors and commercial clubs to take
the lead in the plans of their respective
communities, which is expected to de-
velop considerable interest in the
movement. All mayors are being in
vited to be guests of the fair manage.
ment as official representatives OF
their towns.
Mayor Sweet of Yakima has beer
asked to declare civic holiday, and
practically all business will be sus-
pended at noon in order to permit the
citizens to attend the state fair and
to meet their friends of the valley
towns. The city schools will be closed
at noon and record attendance OF
school children is looked for.
"Yakima valley day will doubtless
be great day at the state fair" Sec
retary Finley says, "as we are receiv-
ing splendid, cooperation from the
civic bodies Of the various valley
towns. Judging by the present indi-
cations it is certain that the attend
ance will be much larger than a year
ago. Some of the valley towns will
suspend business and the citizens will
attend the state fair in a body-just
as Zillah did year ago. In order to
let outsiders know that the valley
towns are well represented at the
state fair, we are suggesting that ev-
cry motorist should carry a pennant
or banner on his car to show which
town he is from. We want to make
Yakima valley day at the fair sort
of community festival, when friends
and neighbors may mingle and. enjoy
the state fair in an old-fashioned and
friendly way"

NEW GRADE RULE
HITS JONATHANS
Solid Color Requirement Works
Hardship Here Where the
Johns Mature Early.

A change in the state grade and
pack rules governing Jonathan apples
is causing local growers and ship
pers no end of worry. At the grade
conference last December Jonathans
were taken from the stripped or. par
TALLY red class and put into the solid
red class.
If this rule is enforced it means
either there will be no extra fancy
Jonathans out Of this district this
year, or the apples will have to be left
on the trees until they are dead ripe
and their keeping qualities greatly
impaired. Growers claim that local
Jonathans are now at their very best
and ready to pick but owing to the alb
sence Of cold nights they cannot quail
ify in the solid red class.
Managers of local marketing agen-
cies and local buyers have arranged
a conference with District Inspector
Bailey in the hope that some modifi-
cation of the rule can be made.
Perhaps no other one individual is
more worried over the situation than
is Fred Krug, manager of the Ken
newick- -Richland Marketing Union.
Mr.. Krug has sold IL carloads of
Jonathans for delivery before Septem-
Der Is at So and $3.50 per box. He
is writing the purchasers today ex-
planning the new ruling and asking
for an extension Of ten days on the de-
livery date. The Union will have its
first car of Jonathans out,this week,
shipping from Benton City. The last
car Of pears was billed out yesterday.
Returns from previous pear shipments
Mr.. Krug said, are very satisfactory.
To date the returns range from $2.35
to So box and will net the growers
around 800 per ton. The Union has
preceded all of its pears before ship
ment and in every instance the fruit
has arrived at its destination in ex-
cellent condition.
The Union has been shipping can
taloupes from the Hover district at
the rate of a car a day for some time.
Owing to the cool weather the "cant''
market isn't showing much pep but
the average gross price for the crop
will be about So crate.
