PRossER BANK FAILS

Following a meeting of the d.
rectors of the Citizens State Bank
of Prosser last Friday, and upon
the directors request. the state
bank examiner closed the doors and
took charge of the institution Sat
urday. The directors took this ac-
tion for. the protection of the de.
positors. The bank was capitalized
for $4,000 and its deposits ranged
between $500. 900 and 100000.
Ben ton county is said to have had
approximately 100000 on deposit
in the bank but the county was
fully protected by surety bond.
The loss of the wheat crop in the
Horse Heaven and Rattlesnake hills
for the last two years for lack of
sufficient moisture, the small re-
turns received for the fruit crop
last year and the almost total loss
Of the crop this year by frost. pre-.
venting the bank from liquidating
its assets, are the chief causes at
tributed for the hanks failure.
This IS the first bank in Benton
county to 60 under during the pres.
ent period Of depression and is the
second one to fail in the history Of
the conuty.

BENTON COUNTY TO PAY \
LESS TAXES IN 1924

In the June issue of Tax Facts the
State Federation of Taxpayers As
sociation calls attention to the fact
that Benton county taxpayers will be
called upon to pay $44,075OO less in
1924 than in 1923.
The tables graphically show the
reductions and increases in the five
Hlevies in Benton county as follows:
Taxes for state purposes-Reduc-
tons $21, $500; Municipal govern
ments-Increases $1,024.OO; County
governrnent--Reductions Sl2,535.0O;
Schools County tax) Increases Slo,-
$4,000; NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. $780,
$500 Total reductions $6s,0o7.00
Total increases $2l,010.00. Net total
S44,o87.o0.
A study Of these figures for all of
the counties in the state discloses a
very material reduction in the amount
which the taxpayers have to dig up
for state purposes but an majority
of the counties the saving thus ef-
fected has been entirely wiped out
and as much or more additional alb
scribed by local demands. King coun-
ty serves to illustrate the situation.
Its state taxes are reduced $2o7 ,070.-
90 and it's county highway taxes fell
off $36,573. On the other side Of the
ledger the county, municipal and the
school levies skyrocketed 81 sos, 1885,
90. Thus King county taxpayers will
have to pay $1,264,483.00 more in
1924 than in 1923.
"These figures show the points at
which taxpayers must direct their ef-
forts If material reduction is to be
secured" said Judge M. F. Gose,
president of the state federation.
"There may be sufficient reason for
some of the increases but there is a
definite need for organized public
opinion among the taxpayers thru
out the state, demanding tax reduc-
ton. It should be the purpose of every
taxpayer to make an intelligent dis
crincInation between the activities
especially local. that are necessary
and those that are only desirable and
these conclusions must be crystalized
into organized effort to enforce the
elimination of the merely desirable
and the preservation of the essential
functions. Through the intelligent use
of the budget laws passed by the last
legislature, the organized taxpayers
have means through which they car
exert their influence to reduce gov.
ernment costs"
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1924-06-27
FIRST Cover SPRAY
FOR SECOND BROOD

The FIRST cover spray for the Sec
ond brood of worms should be COM
pleted not later than the fifth of July.
Three e-fourths of the first brood Of
worms have left the apples. A possible
two-thirds of these will be emerging
as moths the FIRST of July. This ne
cessitates that spray be completed
about the fifth. On orchards that are
on clean cultivation or light cover
crop of vetch 1t will probably be we'll
to spray two or three days earlier
than these dates.
Follow up with second cover
spray not later than the twentieth of
July. Unless poor control was obtain
ed on the first brood Of worms, these
are sufficient to control the second
brood.
In all prbability it will be necessary
to put on cover spray for third
brood of worms about the twenty fifth
of August. A spreader should be ad-
ded to this spray to prevent spray
splotching of the apples.
1t is not uncommon to hear the
growers say that the worms are past
control. This is not the case. There
are no more worms than we had to
fight last year, but the trouble lies
in the fact that there is seventy-hve
per cent less fruit for the same num-
Der of worms to work on.
In many cases poor control was OBJ
tanned in the first brood SO this ne
cessitates that we must be extremely
thorough in the next two applications.
The cautious person is going to get
by and the careless person will lose.
Edwin E. Hill,
Dist. Hort. INSPECTOR
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1924-06-27
MANY PEOPLE DROWN

One hundred and ninety-six persons
died in this state, from drowning last
year, and 1sl died in that manner the
previous year, according to statistics
in the State Department OF Health.
OF the 1876 which drowned last year
l66 were males and 80 females.
May, June, July and August show
the greatest number Of deaths from
this cause indicating that some of the
deaths occur when greater number
of people are swimming in the water,
DIR. Paul A. Turner, director of the
State Department of Health, states.
However, in 1928, December had a
comparatively large number with Is
deaths recorded but this number was
large because of Ishipwreck that
month.
"It seems most unfortunate that the
lure Of the "old swimming hole. should
indirectly cause anyone's DEATH" DR..
Turner says. an this state where 20
much water is available for bathing
purposes every person should learn how
to swim. Having done this they should
take reasonable precautions that the
water in which they bathe is COM
paratively clean"
Drowning does not take place un-
til the lungs are filed with water. For
this reason a person who is apparent
ly drowned may be often resuscitated
by rolling over barrel or employing
the generally known methods.

GOOD APPLE PROSPECTS

District Horticulturist, E. e. Hill,
who was over from Prosser last week,
said that with the possible exception
of the Benton City district. White
Bluffs had better prospect for an
apple crop than any place in the county.
Mr.. Hill by the nature Of his work
spends good deal Of his time in the
orchards and is in pretty good po-
sition to Judge. He said he will not
be surprised II White Bluffs rolls 100
cars or better which would bring the
tonnage to about 40 per cent Of an
average crop. This per centage Of a
crop will probably be as high as in
any district in the northwest this sea-
son. Mr.. Hill said the Prosser district
was hit harder by the freeze than any
other part OF Benton county, neigh
borhood after neighborhood over there
not having enough fruit to pay them

SUCCESSFUL RABBIT DRIVE

The rabbit drive on the east side
of the Columbia last Sunday attracted
fair sized crowd and literally hun
dreds of the bunnies were slaughtered
The line was formed at the river bank
and the drive made toward the bluffs.
Clubs were the only weapons used in
the line, and the number of rabbits
killed by each hunter depended lar
gely on that hunters batting ability.
AS rule he had only one strike and
he was hitting at about all kinds of
pitching from slow and fast one to all
kinds of curves. Three or four men
back In the bluffs with short range
guns also did noble execution on the
ones that broke through the lines and
came that way.

local pastorate of the Presbyterian
church for the past two years, has
been called to succeed Zack Mccall
