STRAWBERRIES RIPE

]. A. johnson shipped out the
first crate of Strawberries frcm
White Bluffs this, Friday. morning.
Mr.. johnson told the Spokesman
that he had been picking ripe ber-
ries from his plants since May 5th.
The berries have been coming fast
during the past week and it is ex-
pected that commercial shipments
will be leaving the valley the fist
of next week. The indications are
that there will be considerably
increased tonnsge in this valley
over last year. Because of the four
times a week train service on tn s
branch of the Milwaukee, some of
the growers have made arrange
ments to have their berries hauled
to Kennewick and shipped over the

NO CHANGE

The ball game Sunday was
won by Hanford 6s3 but the
game was much closer and more
interesting than the score would
indicate. White Bluffs led most
of the way and up to the eighth
inning the score 3-3. In this inn
ing Hanford got a couple Of
lucky hits and by some daring
base running was able to raise
their total to 6 runs. The White
Bluffs club had more pep and
fighting spirit than they have
displayed for long time and
they looked like a real ball
team. If they can keep that
swing up they will win lot of
ball games before the season in
over. The boys go to Othello to
play that club next Sunday.

let ROAD CONTRACT

Gordon Wilson of Sunnyside was
this week given the contract for
the construction of the state high
way from Grants corner through
White Bluffs to the ol1 water tank
CO rner. Bids on this road were first
opened in April but tn. commits
sioners rejected all of them at that
time because they were too high.
The county saved $500 by read
vertising, as Mr.. Wilson's bid was
$40. 800, or $500 less than the one
he submitted in April. The bid of
A. H. Zane of Hanford was $lS9

The contract provides that work on
tn, road must tie started within
ten days.

Find Salt Effective
in Killing Burberry
Chemicals to Play Important
Part in Eradication.
prepared by the United States Department
OF ARriculturel

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agrtculture.)
Chemicals will play an important
part this year in the eradication cam
paign against the common barberry,
which aids the spread Of black stem
rust TO the wheat fields. Where only
the digging method has been practiced
ii was difficult to rempve all the roots,
especially in rocky ground or around
tree stumps. Where eve the small
est fragments of the roots were not
destroyed, sprouts have sprung up the
following year, neces$itating a repeti-
ton Of the work. In lawns or gardens
where a careful watch can be kept Of
the places from which bushes have
been removed, digging is all right, for
In a year or two all roots left at the
first digging will have sprouted and
can be removed.
To make the eradication of the
bushes simple and sure, two chemicals
have been found by the United States
Department of Agriculture to be eff
fective for use in such places as pas.
lures and wooded lots and along
fences where it is difficult either to
dig bushes up completely or TO locate
the exact spots in n resurvey. OF
these two, COMMON or crushed rock
salt is very satisfactory. Ten pounds
Of salt piled on the row will Kill
a bush Of average size. II should be
applied to the bush as dry salt and
may be used at any season Of the year
with success. The bushes either may
be left standing or cut down. If left
standing, they are easily located and
the necessity Of re-treatment more
easily determined.
