In their battery department the
Columbia Garage has just completed
the installation Of one of the latest
improved charging machines. The

SECOND WORM
BROOD SOON
District Horticultural lis t
Says Worms Will Be
Hatching July 10

District Horticultural Inspector has
issued the following spray bulletin
for the guidance of fruitgrowers of
Benton and Franklin counties.
The second brood of Goblin moth
will soon be upon us. AS near as we
at present can ascertain the worms
will be Matching by the 10th of July.
"In most cases two cover sprays
will be sufficient to control this
brood. Though the number of sprays
is up to you.
We are recommending either of the
two following schedules:
Schedule No. 1-One spray to be
completed not later than the 10th of
July, and the second spray to be COM
pleed not later than the 9Th of Aug
| ust. 49,.
Schedule No. 2-One spray to be
completed not later than the 10th of
July, second spray to be completed
not later than the 25th of July, and
a third spray to be completed not
later than the 18th of August.
~Use your own discretion as to
which of the above schedules you will
follow.
sTt will be well to use spreader
in these sprays, for it pervents the
splotching Of your lead, which makes
irregular coloring Of the apples and
makes the fruit look dirty.
sIn case of red spider, use lime
sulphur, atomic sulphur, or flours OF
sulphur. Spray in cool part OF the
lday. You may get some burning
as . rule, the spider damage would
be greater than the spray damage.
1--WE have on hand at the office
the 1928 grading rules, which will bt
given out at your request.

PASCO WINS IN
TENTH INNING
Fourth Crowd Entertained
by Good Program of Ath-
letic Events.

No small part of yesterdays cele-
bration program was the athletic
events which not only drew a good
list of entrants but sustained the in
terest and entertained the crowd.
The outstanding attraction was the
baseball game between Pasco and
Kennewick league teams. Kennewick,
which has been trailing along at the
tail end Of the league since the OPEN
ig game, sprung surprise and with
the exception Of some costly errors
at critical stages outplayed their op-
ponents.
The game was one Of the most hotly
contested ever played on the local
diamond and the fans were given more
than their moneys worth. 1t was
q pitchers battle from start to finish
with Mitchell of the home team hav-
ing the edge on Morain of Pasco Ken
newick had the game apparently won
with one to nothing score when an
error by the Kennewick first sacker
permitted Pasco to put one man over
home plate. In the tenth Pasco scor-
ed two more and Kennewick was I'M.
able to connect thereby losing to
Pasco to 1.
The only thing the matter will
Harry Owens Wild West show was
too small arena. Hundreds of Wis
istors who wanted to see the show
were unable to crowd inside the en-.
closure and as q last-minute emer'
gency part of the fence was tori
down 30 that those on the outside
could get = peep at the events.
In the bucking horse contest Ger.
aid Roberts Of Prosser was first
Frank Richmond of Horse Heaven
second, Billy Westermeyer of Mot.
finger third. One rider was thrown
and three were disqualified. The rid.
ing of q diminutive mule caused :
lot of excitement for the crowd. The
little long-eared performer threw two
riders but was finally ridden by Cy-
rus Zwanzig. Two horses were en-.
tered for the $25 prize for any an
imal that would throw a rider, but
both were ridden.
The automobile slow race was
easily won by Elmer Yaden, of Pasco
in his Buick roadster. He was the
only one to finish as all other drivers
killed their engines.
The auto balancing contest proved
one of the most entertaining features
of the day. 1t was won by Henry
Smith of Horse Heaven, who balanc.
ed his Dodge on the teetering planks
in little more than one minutes time
Elmer Yaden won second money.
Winners of the other athletic events
were: mems 100-yard dash, Alexan'
