WANT TO GO
BUG HUNTING
Dave Bryant Will Lead
Posse Into Mountains
After Ladybird Beetles

Who wants to go bug hunting I?
David Bryant, deputy horticultural in
spector, is attempting to organize
a party to raid the winter quarters
of the ladybird beetles in the Blue
mountains and bring millions of the
bugs to the orchards around Kenne-
wick. This beetle is the greatest
known enemy of aphids, both green
and woolly, and their work is worth a
lot of money to orchardists. Mr.. Bry-
ant plans to start next Monday and
the trip will require three days. Any
one who is interested in making the
trip is requested to telephone him at
27810 between six and seven in the
evening.
District Inspector w. P. Brown.
who was accompanied by the Walla
Walla inspector, returned last week
from the Blue mountains and brought
back 2k sacks of beetles. One sack
of bugs were liberated at three places
on the Highlands by Mr.. Bryant, an
other sackful were sent to Richland,
and the half sack was taken to Pros
ser by Mr.. Brown.
One press report of the trip says
there were $40 million of the bugs
but Mr.. Brown insists that nobody
counted them.
That orchardists may not destroy
the eggs or larvae of the ladybird
Mr.. Bryant gives out the following
information:
The adult ladybird lays her eggs
in clusters in appearance like bunch
Of cigars stacked on end. They are
small, pointed at both ends and sal
mon colored. They are usually depos-
tied on foliage of trees, sometimes on
board fences.
I The larvae emerge in short time
and develop into a long hairy worm
which is red with yellow markings on
its back. They have six legs and can
travel very rapidly. They feed at
this stage on aphis and other small
insects.
As soon as they are fully matured
their habit is to suspend themselves
by the tail end from a twig or leaf
and soon transform into pupa from
which the adult beetle energies. In
this stage they hibernate in large clo-
onies preferably under the snow and
along the upper slopes of the high
hills or mountains.

Kennewick Defeats Pasco s
to 2-Play on This Side
Next Sunday

The Pasco jinx which has been how
ering over the Kennewick baseball
team for several years, was chased
to the tall sagebrush Sunday when
the Strawberry-pickers went across
the river and handed the Railroaders
the little end Of an to score. From
the standpoint of interest from the
sidelines it was one of the best games
played between the two rivals for
several years, but the score book
hardly qualities the contest as stel-
lar performance. Neither of Pasco's
runs were earned and the Railroaders
seven errors was contributing fact
or to Kennewick's total score. At any
rate Kennewick won and there is
great joy among local fans.

the first frame when with two men
down LaVera lined out q neat two

to first on hit and stole second.
Next time at bat the Strawberry
pickers cinched the game when four

they annexed the second and last
score of the game. SIS

Seattle and Tacoma Men
Favor Thirty Million
Bonding Plan
ENDORSEMENT GIVEN
ANON PROPOSITION
Representatives of Portland Bonding
Houses Say Money Is To
Be Had

Landowners of the Horse Heaven
Irrigation district on June will be
asked to increase the present bond
issue from $18,000,000 to $30,000,000
for the purpose of constructing an
irrigation system which will place
250,000 acres of the states most fer
tile agricultural lard under irriga-
tion.
The special bonding election has
been called for the purpose Of enabl-
ing the district board to carry out its
part Of contract recently entered in
to with Howard S. Anon of Portland,
who agrees to build the project and
accept the districts bonds in pay
ment.
Mr.. Anon, who in company with a
number of bond dealers and bankers
Of Portland, was in Kennewick Tues
day, says that if the increased bond
issue is authorized the project will
be built without delay as all arrange
ments have been made for handling
the bonds. The Portland delegation,
headed by James C. Cunningham, who
has been prominent in financial cir
cles of the Northwest for years, ex-
pressed themselves as more than
pleased with the project, part Of
which they toured during the day.
Mr.. Anon and his associates con-
ferred in Prosser with several Seat
tie and Tacoma men who are large
owners of Horse Heaven lands.
Among other things these men de-
manded that the bonds run for 30
years with no payment on the prin-
cipal for 10 years which point was
readily conceded by representatives
of the bonding houses and directors
of the irrigation district.
The Seattle and Tacoma men COM
planned that the contract awarded to
Anon allowed too liberal profit on
material and labor, but this objection
was met by the comparison Of his
contract with estimates previously
prepared by the districts engineers,
which was said to place the Anon
contract in favorable light. The
Seattle Tacoma delegation adopted a
resolution unanimously indorsing the
bond issue and the Anon contract, on
condition that a Seattle attorney be
employed to represent the district.

JACK FROST
BEHAVES WELL
Orchard Crops to Date Have
Suffered None From
Frost Injury

. aI f. e l. 4. @ s. u.
While the householder is still show
cling coal and the spring continues
cold and backward there was never
a time when farms in the irrigated
section of this district gave greater
promise of bountiful crop.
It is true that cold nights have oc-
casioned some alarm among fruit
growers but to date frost injury to
growing crops has been negligible.
Only once in the last ten days has the
government thermometer registered
below the freezing point, and then
there was only one degree of frost
With the mercury at 81 last Sat
urday night some Of the earlier straw
berry blossoms were nipped but there
was no damage to any Of the tree
fruits. The outlook for heavy soft
fruit crop was never better. Trees
which suffered heavily from the Sc
we're weather in 1919 are now strong
and vigorous and in ideal condition
for heavy production. It is expected
that the Winesap apple trees will not
bear heavily this year because Of last
years record yield. Delicious and
some of the other varieties, however,
will probably set new production rec

eratures for the week follow:
