FIRST CAR OF
SPUDS SHIPPED
Digging is Halted to Await
Cleaning up Of Califor-
MIA Stocks

The Three Rivers Growers shipped
the first car of early potatoes last
week. The shipment was made from
Pasco and was sold in Pocatella, Id
aho at $50 a ton f. o. b. shipping
point.
While this shipment marks the be-
ginning Of this years potato harvest
a halt on digging has been called to
await better market conditions. This
was done because of the fact that
Northwest markes are at present ov-
erstocked with California stocks.
Dealers have agreed to clear up these
stocks and make ready for the North
west crop.
"We are holding our quotations at
$50 to $685." said Lee M. Lampson,
manager, "and think we shall have
no difficulty in resuming shipments
at that figure the last of this week
or early next. Knowing that the
Northwest potatoes were beginning to
come in, California, shippers have
rushed every available spud into these
markets. This situation, however, is
only temporary and on the whole
the potato outlook this year is
bright"
Mr.. Lampson has just completed
canvass of the Benton City. district
where there has been q heavy sign
up by potato growers. With Hermis-
ton and the Priest Rapids districts
already in the association, this gives
the Three Rivers Growers fairly good
control over the early spud acreage
in this part Of the state.
The last Of this years asparagus
was shipped last week but final re-
turns on the crop will not be given
out until all pools have been closed
and full settlements made.

MORE WORMS
ARE MATCHING
First Cover Spray for Sec
ond Brood of Moths
Should be On

From all indications the second
brood of Goblin moth is due to start
Matching about June %, and all or.
chardists are advised to apply the
first cover spray for this brood as
soon as possible after this date. This
is one Of the most important sprays
and thoroughness in the application
of the spray is very essential to eff.
ficient control of this pest. If the
weather continues warm, the SECOND
spray for this brood should be ap.
piled before July Is. The safest way
is to watch the apples and be sure
that they are well covered with spray
at all times during this period. Wind
rain or the rapid growth of the frui,
will cut down the efficiency of the
spray to very large degree.
With the harvest season so near
at hand for Bartlett pears, they
should be kept clean by applying on
ly the first of these sprays, but the
later pears, especially the D'Anjou
should have the second application.
Due to the recent warm weather
many of the lady bird beetles have
migrated to cooler climates, and are
not giving the assistance they have
the past month in controlling the Col
orado potato beetle. There is great
er danger now of this pest getting
out from under control than at any
time during the year, as the second
brood Of beetles are laying eggs now
and during the hot weather these will
hatch rapidly. All potato growers
should keep sharp watch Of their
fields and be prepared to. spray OF
dust with arsenate of lead, which is
the cheapest and most efficient meth
Cd Of control. Call the local deputy
inspector for any advice as to the
right amount to use or the best meth
cd Of application.

While fishing one day last week
near. Hover, Frank Bens killed one
of the largest rattlesnakes ever known
to inhabit this part of the country
The reptile measured 49k inches in
length. Bens found the old fellow
coiled in a dark corner of deserted
shack. The bullet from a 22-special
which ended his career also wrecked
his rattlers so it was impossible to
count his anniversaries.

Il has been found necessary to shut

days and let the sun do the work of

W. C. Muldrow, irrigation manager,
has issued the following statement
regarding the shutdown:
The water will be turned out of the
canals of the Columbia Irrigation
District Sunday afternoon, June 29th

days, varying a little in different

Of this canal is-one Of great difficulty.
Tie growth varies greatly with each
season and in different parts of the

tell exactly what makes the differ

season in the past that was worse
than any recent year. Bad moss

much better. The problem exists on

Shall Kissing Be Revived?

An eminent composer who ad--
dressed the members Of the Friday
Morning Music Club in this city the
other day lamented the fact that
Washington audiences are too polite
to manifest their disapproval Of pro-
grams. They have, he says, perhaps
not learned to hiss. II they would in
dicate their dissent from the choice OF
selections or the manner Of their
rendition they would improve the
quality OF the musical fare served to
them.
Kissing at public entertainments in
expression Of disapproval has almost
gone out Of vogue in this country. 1t
was once a common practice for
audiences to express themselves
sibiIantly. sometimes by moro marked
demonstrations. But gradually the
negative form Of dissent was adopted,
that Of abstaining from applause.
There II, however, no way to measure
disapproval so expressed. A light
hand" may be interpreted as only q
partial-perhaps partial in q dual
sense-token Of approval.
Temptation Is often felt by auditors
at public entertainments. musical and
dramatic, to give audible expression
to disappeoval Of either matter o.
manner OF presentation. Yet sslf-
restraint Is imposed because there is
a reluctance to bscQmips cQnspicuoYs.

No Solution, No Sermon.

Here's q new use for the crossword
puzzle: A clergyman at Knoxville, Pa,
sets a large blackboard in front OF the
pulpit and requires the congregation
40 supply the words for a solution be-
fore he breaches his sermon. The text
of the sermon appears in the solved
puzzle.
There is danger in this sort OF thing.
Some congregations might be indis.
posed to proceed to the solution In
order to forestall the sermon. They
might find the puzzle more interesting
than the discourse they have by ex-
perience reason to expect.
Crossword puzzling in church has
its possibilities. Bible lessons can be
taught by them. Research in the
Scriptures can be stimulated by
gropings after the names Of pre-
Christian personages. The educational
value OF the crossword puzzle, indeed,
is Hndeniable. and there is no reason
why 1t should not be utilized in both
synthesis and analysis in church
work.
But the preacher who withholds his
sermon until his congregation has
worked out his text from a crossword
puzzle Is certainly taking a sporting
chance.

An American Inauguration.

Tho decision Of the President con-
corning the form of Inauguration
which he will authorize or permit will
doubtless be quickened and facilitated
by the letter of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association, which
urges a return in spirit to the old plan
of making the inaugural Of the ma
tional Executive an occasion of national
rejoicing. a celebration taking con-
crete shape in the gathering of multi.
tudes Of the people at the seat of Gov.
ernment, in civilian parades, in city
illumination and decoration and in a
great reception at which a host Of
Americans can get a priced glimpse of
the President whom the people have
elected.
1t is not proposed, however, to re-
turn to the old method of designating
with full power local committee to
take charge Of the inaugural. Wash
ington is proud OF the record Of its
committees which have performed SO
creditably this honorable patriotic
function in the past. But, after all,
the people who elect the President
should also inaugurate him. And the
half.million Americans in the Federal
District constitute the only American
community in continental United
States which may not vote to elect a
President, though it may help to nom.
mate and inaugurate him.
The American people through their
representatives, executive and legis-
1ative, are to decide how they will in.
augurate their President, whether as
Il strictly Official ceremony or as a
great popular event, whether the sim
plicity Of democracy or the people's 8
participation of democracy is to DOM
mate and characterize the event.
Whatever form Of national celebra-
ton Is decided upon Washington will
perform enthusiastically and with all
1tsmight that portion of the inaugural
1abors assigned to it by the President
or by 9 national inaugural committee.
Tho incoming Of a new President
means more to the National Capital.
though it's people cannot vote to elect
him, than to any other American COM
1nunity. For he is to us, as to all
other Americans, our national Presi-
dent, and with us, unlike all other
Americans, he is also the real execu-
tive head Of what corresponds with
us to the State government Of other
Americans, and is also the controlling.
responsible, executive head of our
municipal government.
Our interest in the inaugural event
and in the Official to be inaugurated is
thus intensified threefold.

Fiibuster, and Extra Session.

1t Is limited that an extra session OF
Congress may result from the action
OF the Senate Republican caucus Fri.
members who have affiliated with the
third-party movement in reputation
OF the Republican presidential ticket.
A legislative jam, it is feared, may
follow at the short session, possibly
preventing the passage Of necessary
bills and thus forcing the sunmoning
of the houses in the Spring to com.
plete the program.
Responsibility for such an action
will rest directly upon those individual
members of the Senate who in ven-
geance for this reclassification seek
to embarrass the Republican organi-
zation by blockadins tactics. The rules
OF the Senate permit unlimited de.
bate, and many devices are possible
to protract proceedings. II a disposi-
tion prevails to choke the channels of
legislation the appropriation bills can
be blocked. The session can be spent
in talk.
But such tactics will not profit the
leaders in insurgency or restore them
to their status. They cannot hope to
gain public approval by obstructing
the public business. They cannot rea.
sonably expect to acquire merit in the
country's judgment by forcing an ex-
ira session to complete the work that
should be done at this session.
II partisan control had passed from
one party to the other as a result of
the election there might be an advan.
tage in a filibuster that would block
legislation at the short session in
order to force an early extra session
of the new Congress, so that a change
of legislative policy might be then in
augurated. But the control did not
change. On the contrary, it was re-
tanned by the Republican party with
an increased vote in both houses.
There is nothing to gain, therefore, In
the name Of extreme progressivism
by compelling a call for an extra ses-
sion shortly after the 4th Of March.
Such a session may be called to carry
out program Of legislation outlined
by the President, who will have a
larger support in the next Congress
than in the present. The responsibility
for such a session rests in normal
conditions upon him. If the insurgent
members Of the Senate waste time at
the short session by speech g
and blockading maneuvers in punish
ment for the action taken Friday the
responsibility for an extra session will
be upon them.
1t will be the part Of wisdom for
these Senators, perhaps after a formal
recital Of their complaints, If they feel
that they have been injured by the
caucus action, to allow the work Of
the session to proceed without delay
and to progress to adjournment with
a clean slate. They will all be mem.
bers OF the next Congress, and they
will have their chance then to in
fluence the. course of legislation, a bet
ter chance, in fact, If they permit the
business of this session to be COM
pleted, and thereby show their good
faith as national legislators.
