ORCHARDS ARE IN
GOOD CONDITION
Growers Are Still Optimistic
Says Bennion; Crop Will be
Smaller Than in 1921.

While tho Milton- Freewater apple
crop will. because of the frcst blight
and a lighter set of bloom which fol-
lows last years heavy bloom, he
smaller this year than in 1891, grow
ers are optimistic and orchards are in
good condition, says Fred Bennion,
county agent who visitedthe east end
of the county yesterday,
Mr.. Bennion states that IL is impos-
isible to estimate at this time the
number of carloads of apples which
will be shipped. In speaking of the
peach crop, he reports that most OF
the peach trees of the east end region
are located in places where the frost
did not hit.
When the frost did not visit the
trees, there must be thinning done,
Mr.. Bennion says, aud adds that this
is especially true of the Roam Beauty
variety. On Monday an orchard meet
! ing will be held in Milton, and grow
ers will be addressed by c. l.. Long,
extension specialist of O. A.. c., on
thinning and on other timely topics
Thinning demonstrations practiced
! on l2 year old Winesap apple trees
at the j. f. Slower orchard in Free
! water show that where no thinning
was used, the valile per tree was $5.Sl
and the value ner acre $305.50. Wher
| thnned from three to four inche:
4 apart, the value per tree was s11.2;
and per acre $685. 5,-while when thlnne,
from six to seven inches apart th'
| tree value was s15.62 and the acre
value sS12,50. When the thinning
| was from nine to ten inches apart the
valDe per tree was Sl5.12 and per
acre $TS6.50.

SOME S. A. 7. c. MEN
ELIGIBLE FOR BONUS
: UNDER RECENT RULING
Letter From Secretary Brum-
baugh Indicates Commission
Recognizes Some Claims.

Some s. A. T. c. men VINO served
during the, recent war are entitled to
receive either the cash bonus or the
loan from the state offered ex-serricf
men, according to letter received by
Adjutant c. c.. Proebstel of the local
post from II. c. Brumbaugh. secretary
of the World War State Aid commits
sion.
The letter came in reply to request
sent by Proebstel for an Interpretation
Of the law as to the standing of the
S. A. T. C. men under the law. The
Interpretation made locally on the
provisions of the law were that the
s. A. r. c. men were not eligible to
receive either the cash bonus or loan
The opinion from Secretary Brum-
baugh changes the status Of part OF
the students corps men. A part OF
the letter from Brumbaugh is as fol-
lows:
There are no set rules by which tc
determine the eligibility of s. A, T. G.
service, although we may give YOU
several leads as to why certain cases
have been approved; where all records
show man was iRslucted into the ser.
vice at one place and sent to one Of
the schools without having volunteer
ed for such service and he was in
structed in Glass B. studies, such as
carpentry, auto mechanics, radio, en-.
gineering, ETC., and received an hon
orable discharge, and drew travel pay
to place of induction. he would be en-
titled to receive the benefits, provid
ing he had enough service.
"On the other hand, where mar
was attending a college or school as {
student where one of the schools was
located and enrolled in the s. A. T. c
branch, it does not change his statu
as student regardless of studies h
| might have received, and he woul'
not be entitled to the benefits unde
the law. In other words he did not los
| anything by being a student in tn
s. A. T. C. The same ruling ~oul'
apply to a man living in some othe
town who voluntarily enlisted in tn
S. A. r. C.
! This also applies to n student VIII
! did not have any military status o
when the studies pursued were wa
aims, arithmetic. trigonometry, arm
paper work, etc."

Grain Bought on Contract is

Sacks is Higher This Year.
FLAT PRICE OF
DOLLAR A BUsHEL
Condition Of the Crop Over
the Country IS Not as
Good as 1921 Says Collins.

That about 500. 900 bushels Of wheat
have been contracted for a flat price
of one dollar the bushel for delivery
at harvest time Is the estimate given
today by II. w, Collins, local grain
and flour man.
The amount now under contract for
sale is about the same quantity as had
been sold ut this time last year. ac-
cording to Mr.. Collins, and the price
Is the same as. that given a year ago
on early contracts. The wheat bought
on contract Is to be in sacks, 4.
The condition of the crop over the
county as a whole is not quite so good
as II was this time, last year. the local
man declares, hut he expressed tho
opinion that. with favorable weather
conditions from now until harvest
time, last ychr's record crop may ba
matched, or even surpassed. Today's
rain, which IL said to have been gen
eral over the wheat bolt, will help
some, and growers won't ohjectsif they
get some more m6tstuxe-., !. s-..<

manding price OF 10 i-2 cents. Last
year the prices ranged from seven
and three -fourths to 10 cents. Delay
ed purchasing Of sacks by farmers In
given by tho local DEALER as one OF the
chief causes of the bulge Importers
have been cautious about contracting
very far ahead with the result that
imports so far this year are only co.
100000 this year as against $4,000 ,000
the same time last year. Doinestics
have fallen below the usual volume qf
production, Another factor which hnsl
caused demand to exceed the supply u
the bumper crop OF California barley,
accordn gto Mr.. Collins.
Last year shortly before harvest
time the volume of wheat contracted
for at. a price Of one dollar the bushei
was little In excess Of i.o00.OQo
bushels locally.
The early sellers got the good
market last year, but Il remains 70 be
seen Just what the trend will be this
year Mr.. Collins stated.
