CUT EDUCATION COSTS.

Out of the total levy of 1888
mills made by the state equaliza-
ton committee for all state pur-
poses. S.0S9 mills was levied for
education, 5.74 mills being for
support Of the common schools
and the remainder for the univer-
sity, state college and the normal
schools. This left $3.50 mills for
the general military, permanent
highway, soldiers bonus, capital
and reclamation funds. The com
mittee reduced the general fund
levy from 2.25 to LIS mills, and
from available estimates the com
mittee is positive this levy need
not be increased next year. The
legislature eliminated the primary
highway levy of one mill and as
the common school levy was cut
.02 mills the total reduction this
year is 1.52 mills. AS equalized

leave the doors open at night and
close them during the heat Of the
day." said Mr.. Linnestead. "It
is not u hard matter to hold the
temperature at from 60 to Is de-
grees, even when the days are
warm, but care must be taken to
keep all doors closed tight and
there can not be too much running
in and out, as that will let in too
much warm air. In the fall when
the nights are frosty the temper
ature can be held down as low as
IS degrees, if desired" ;"
The storage house is used dur
ing the winter months to keep the
fruit from uneven temperatures
and there is very little danger Of
loss from heavy freezing weather
when the fruit has been picked
and stored in such a building.
Very often such houses are built
with cheaper construction by hav-
ing covered pit with doors at
the end large enough for driving
a team of horses in.
Mr.. Linnestead has large part
of his home orchard planted to the
red Gravenstein and finds them a
profitable apple to sell on the loc-
al markets. This year the crop
will not be as large, since there
were not as many apples set on as
there have been in ordinary years.
There are also few trees of the
Duchess, which are an early var
iety and ripen in August. They
sell fairly well, but are more sour
and do not have the flavor OF the
Gravensteins.

sToAGE FOR APPLES

Ii is not difficult matter to
have packing house that will
keep apples or other fruit cool in
the summer time as well as keep
it from freezing later in the fall
and winter seasons, says the last
issue of the Washington Farmer.
A. j. Linnestead of Vashon, King

new packing and storage house
that will suit any purposes of this
kind.
The building measures 1Sx3O
feet and has double walls which
are filled with sawdust to keep an

capacity of about 1900 boxes of
apples, but as a general rule the
space is not all used for storage,

BURGLARS BUSY AT
VASHON and VICINITY
Meat Market and Residence
Entered Friday and Sat-
urday Nights.

Two burglaries occurred at
Vashon and in the immediated Vi
cinity Friday and Saturday night
last. The home of Mrs. Gertrude
Kline was entered during her alb
sence and the house thoroughly
ramsacked. Miss f'usby, who was
there in the evening and who left
her salary warrant there, lost it.
The only other article of import
ance taken was bottle of per
fume.
Some time between Saturday
evening and Monday morning
some one entered H. N. Rodda's
meat market by the use of a pass
key and took several links of bo-
logna and a side of bacon. Mr..
Rodda noticed the door of the ice
box open slightly Monday morn
ing but thought nothing of it un-
til a customer asked for bologna
and in seeking it discovered the
robbery. The lock on the door
was readily opened by a pass key.
Other depredations are report
ed by owners of mail boxes Just
north of Vashon who have found
of late letters put in for the car
rier to pick up have been opened
and the contents thrown in the
road. This is believed to be the
work of youthful offenders who
have hoped to find money in the
envelopes.

Organized Island Growers
Receive Much Cash
for Products.

That is Approximately the total
amount of fruit and berries handl-
ed by the Vashon Marketing as
sociation for the year of 1923. An
absolutely accurate statement can
not be issued until after the di-
rectors meet.
Raspberries was the largest
crop, totaling 610 barrels of 500
pounds each and S64 crates of
fresh fruit. The fresh fruit net
ted the growers $1.60 per crate
and the barreled berries s cents a
pound. Only about 100 barrel Of
Marlborough berries remain un-
sold.
Loganberries .totaled 200 tons,
netting the growers about 512
cents a pound. The item classed
as miscellaneous was 100 crates of
logans put in cold storage which
netted $1.50 a crate.
There were so tons of straw
berries which brought 6 cents net.
There a few strawberries, how
ever, which remain unseld.
Gooseberries was quite an item,
there having been 21,347 pounds,
netting the growers s cents a
pound.
Of the 10000 pounds of cur
rants handled by the association,
$4,000 pounds were sold at net
price of s cents and the remand
er at 51a cents.
There We're S2,32O pounds Of
sour cherries handled, bringing a
price of 6 cents and 2S,0S2 pounds
of sweet cherries which netted 7
cents.
The smallest item was 200
pounds of rhubarb, the price of
which was not reported.
The fruit and berries marketed
by the association was not the
entire production of Vashon-
Maury island. 1t did not include
the berries from B. ID. Mukai's 60
acrestrawberry field or the other
Japanese growers. The Sumner
and Puyallup canneries purchased
large amounts of fruits and ber-
ries from independent growers as
did the Vashon Auto Freight Co,
A great many growers marketed
their produce through the public
markets at Seattle and Tacoma.
AS a result it is difficult at this
time to secure an accurate check
ON the amount of produce grown
and marketed this season.
The Vashon Marketing associa-
tion has 126 members among the
fruit and berry growers.
A meeting of the directors has
been called for the near future to
close up the affairs of the organiz-
alton for the year. Following
this will be a general meeting of
the members to determine the poll
cy for the coming year.
