ODELAY ON
BIG Y PLANT
Frost Will Not Interfere
With Building of Cold
Storage Plant

There is nothing slow about the
Big Y when they get started. The
delay in starting work on the Cold
Storagt plant caused some fear that
something might happen" A visit
to the plant dispells all this doubt. A
large force of workmen are at work
and the foundations are nearly COM
pleted. Seventeen car loads of ma
terial are on the ground and more ar
irving daily. Contractor Harry Boyer
says the plant will be completed in
80 days and will be the most complete
in the northwest.
The building is to be two stories
high, of hollow tile construction,
150x96 feet, with storage capacity
-of $4,000 boxes of apples.
The air circulation system of re-
frigeration will be installed.
The plant is to be constructed just
west of the present Big Y warehouse
in Kennewick, and will have track fa-
cilities on both the Northern Pacific
and Union Pacific, one on each
side.
There are to be three pear rooms
and one large apple storage room on
the second floor.
The pear rooms will make il pos
sible to receive pears, cool them at
once, and also to pack pears in a
room in which the temperature is held
at about As degrees. The quick cool
ing takes out the heat and stops the
ripening process, while packing in a
cool room prevents ripening from set
ting in again. BY handling pears in
this way they can be placed green on
the eastern markets, as they are put
right from the cold storage rooms in
to iced refrigerator cars.
1t is anticipated that the plant will
be of great value to the Kennewick
district in the handling of all fruits
another season.
1t will be possible then to assemble
carload shipments Of cherries, with a
considerable saving over the present

MILLIONS OF BUGS
FROM MOUNTAINS
Local Orchardists Bring Fourteen
Sacks of Ladybirds TO Feed on
Aphids

Dave Bryant's bug hunt was a
grand success. AS result between
three and four million more ladybird
beetles are chewing the necks of the
aphids in the orchards of this district.
True enough the bugs weren't
counted but there were fourteen sacks
of them secured above the snow line
in the blue mountains where they are
just beginning to twaken from their
winters sleep.
Mr.. Bryant was accompanied on
the trip which started Monday by l..
w. Brown, A. w. FELTON,, +. X. Sam
phere, and Winfield S. Smith.

Inmates the total damage somewhat

Lee M. Lampson, assistant sales
manager for the Three Rivers Grow
ers association, estimates that the
strawberry yield has been cut in half
and that the season will be from a
week to ten days late. The size of
the berry crop, however, will depend
upon the weather conditions during
the ripening season. If hot weather
prevails, the crop will be cut short
and the quality of the berry as a
whole, will be poor.
The asparagus crop has not been

GRAVE MISTAKE
NOT TO SPRAY
Experts Say Calyx Spray
Should Be Applied in
Every Orchard


different estimates of frost injury
to the fruit as there are men who
make the estimates, there is no diff
ference of opinion on the part of the
horticultural advisers as to the ad-
visibility of spraying.
In sections hardest hit by frost,
some of the orchardists have announc-
ed that they are not going to apply
the calyx spray. The state college
and the offices of the district horti-
culturist and the county agent are
agreed that this will be a grave mis-
take. From these sources comes the
word that at the present time it is
impossible to determine the extent of
the frost injury. There is a possi-
bility of fair crop on orchards which
now show but little promise while
failure to apply the calyx spray will
mean practically total loss of what
fruit has escaped frost damage.
County agent Valdemar L. George
son says:
Later examination shows the
amount of frost injury to the fruit to
be somewhat less severe than was an
ticipated at first. Tuesday morning
it was estimated that the damage
was from 90 per cent to so per cent
of all fruits killed, the amount of in
jury depending upon the variety Of
fruit and location. The soft fruits,
Wiiesap apples and pears showed the
most injury and the Rome Beauty ap-
pies the least.
Estimates made Wednesday MORN
ing were more assuring. Professor
o. M. Morris, head of the department
of horticulture of the State college,
passed through Kennewick Wednes-
day morning and took time to look
over some parts of the Highlands. He
estimated the damage to run from
80 per cent to 35 per cent killed de-
pending on location and variety. The
Rome Beauty showed least injury.
"a few days more may show the
damage to be still less. The full ex-
tent cannot be judged for several
days. 1t is possible that there may be
fair crop. Viewed from this stand
point it would be unwise for anyone
with the possibility of a crop to omit
the calyx spray, as every precaution
should be taken to save what apples
remain. Orchardists are therefore,
advised to apply the calyx spray as
it would be better to lose the cost of
the spray than to neglect to put it on
where there is the possibility of some
part of crop.
"To Judge of the possibility of a
crop, examine the blossom by pinching
it open. If the embryo seeds are
white and the tissue around them is
a normal green it is not injured. If
there is any brown or black discolora-
tion of the inside tissue or seeds, some
,jury has been done and even If not
killed outright the fruit will probably
drop.
"Whether or not to apply the later
cover sprays cannot be decided till it
is seen what showing the fruit will
make at that time"

passed a week in Fairfield, making
his headquarters in the Office of
Harold Weeks. and came here well
heraldcd by his own efforts but with
out any complaints against him.
He went to the home service depart
ment of the local Red Cross in this
city and made known his GRAND. He
stated that he was "a regular army
officer and that he aid been wound
ed in France and that he had been
in Camp Devens with Harold Weeks.
His statement was accepted with
out question and he obtained the
names of the mothers who had lost
sons in the World War and called
to see them in regard to getting
higher pension rates. His method of
working was to ask them how much
they were now receiving and to tel
them after he had found out that they
were not receiving enough. He told
them TO endorse their check on the
back that he would send it into the
Government and would see that they
would soon receive larger one. With
this story he succeeded in getting
three checks and cashed two Of them
in one of the local banks.
Some who were suspicious of him
reported him to the local police who
at once began to search for him but
he could not be found.
The above shows some of the tricks
that are played on the unsuspecting
law abiding citizens.

Judge l.. NJ. Sanborn did not call upon
Junior Gron. the nine-year-old son, to
give the judge his version of a state
ment in one Of his letters to his father
that he had attempted tc kill himself

Horatio Odell Stone, Mrs, Gron's
son, testified as to his enlistment in
the Canadian army. saying that he
wanted to Join up and ran away to
90 so because his mother wouldn't let
him join the American army. He said
that after he got over tc England his
mother wanted to drag his back, and

cause he was only H."

regular a church goer as he was, and
that she for time played the piano
and taught in Sunday school.
His wife had two natures. Mr.
Gron declared. She was an entirely
different woman while she was un-
der the influence of her daughter
Emma Louise (Mrs. Bouvier). AT
such times he was inclined to Won

said.

two years after that time, is utterly
different from the woman of the
last three years." he said. "She was
wonderfully beautiful woman, a
lovable and devoted wife and moth

In his letter to his counsel. Mr.. Gron
accused his wife of pretending to take
an interest in Potentia. his monumen-
tai life work." and also an interest in
religion and a reverence for Joan OF

her.
He testified that she followed him to

reverence as himself, ne fell in love
with her there and asked her to become
his wife. Afterwards he realized she

of Europe, he said.
The facility with which she played
her part and pulled the wool over his

of the "fiendish and uncanny ingenuity
Of the terrible woman who was bound

believed their union was visited upon
him for a punishment.
Mr. Grcn not only was examined re-

form uric acid, which overworks the
kidneys in their effort to filter it from

paralyzed and loggy. When your
kidneys get sluggish and clog you
must relieve them, like you relieve
your bowels, removing all the body's

defendants that they could not be

explained that the meaning of the

is the policy OF most Of the mothers
who had sons serving during the
World War to want to help contri-
butte to the distressed veterans. But
it was found upon investigation in
one of the northern towns that these
men did not turn the dollar to the
American Legion but put one half Of
it in their pockets and the other half
was sent to a man in Albany, New
York, who furnished them with
credentials and literature of such
alluring nature that it was a very
easy thing to fall for their clever
laid scheme.
The local officers Of the upriyer
town did not arrest these two men
but simply took them around from
house to house and made them re-
turn the money that they had re-
ceived from the people and then
quietly told them to get out of town.
1t is rumored that these two men
are working south and if this is so
they will no doubt in due time visit
Waterville and try their plan in this
community. Every one wants to help
the ex-service men. but it does seem
too bad to use the name of this or
ganiZation and work on the sympathy
Of the parents to defraud the mothers
who sacrificed so much during the
years of seventeen and eighteen.

army during the World War who was
in Waterville and Fairfield some time

their sons in the late war, and sue

hundred dollars. The so-called Col.
