For six consecutive days, Dec. 10
Is inc, the mean daily temperature
was above forty-three degrees with
] maximum above 55. For four con-
secutive days the minimum tempera-
ture did not go below SO degrees. To
further stimulate growth O.65 of an
inch of rain fell the first week of the
month. Under such conditions there
would be some permanent growth,
but it would be noticeable only in
some of the earlier fruits, such as
peaches, pears and maybe strawber-
ries. Apples and cherries experience
slower growth and in such short
period would not show any noticeable
permanent growth.
Following close upon the warm
period came one of intense cold. The
temperature dropped below freezing
on the 10th and no temperature above
freezing was recorded during the
balance of the month. In all proba-
bility it was during this cold spell
that the injury was DONE If the tenn
perature had gradually lowered, in
stead of SO abruptly, the buds would |
in all likelihood, have become acclim-
ated to the cold and would have
passed again to the dormant stage
as soon as the mean daily tempera-
ture dropped below 43 degrees.
Any attempts to protect the buds
under such conditions would be beset
with many difficulties as you can
readily see. Because so little is
known as to the temperatures that
q bud, under such circumstances, will
endure without injury, and since so
much depends on antecedent weather
l believe that any attempt

WINTER HEATING
NOT FEASIBLE
Weather Observer gives Oh.
servations Regarding
Last Winters Freeze

In looking over the weather burea,
records for Washington for last yea
and after talking with some of tn,
nortlculturists in the Agriculture
school here ! have found some yer,
interesting things concerning tn,
winter injury to peaches and possibl,
the strawberries, says Albert w
Cook, the frost warning man who
was here last spring. It NAV be es.
peclaily SO to you if you are still
contemplating firing your peach or.
chard during cold weather this winter
AS a general rule, if the buds are
IN a. good, healthy condition when
they enter the dormant state in the
fall, and the trees are not suffering
from lowered vitality, temperatures
OF ~ to Is degrees below zero should
do no injury to the buds if the wealth
er has been normal preceding the
cold weather.
Two weather elements during the
period of the formation of the buds
determine its hardness or health
when it passes to the dormant state.
These are rainfall and temperature.
Since you are not dependent on rain
fall for the water supply the only
consideration is temperature. Wealth
er bureau records for the Kennewick
station show the mean temperature
OF July, August, September, October
and November to be about normal.
There were no extremes, either max
imum or minimum, recorded during
the five months. So it is safe to saw
that the buds were in healthy con-
dition when they went dormant some-
time in October.
The conditions during December
were quite abnormal" and it is in
The study of these December temper
atures that solution of the problem
is found.
Botanists and agriculturists agree
hat most of the Negative forms are
awakened from the dormant state as
soon as the mean daily temperature
Uses above 4S degrees. 1t is evident
hat, prior to the date when this oc- !
'urs, the temperature during the
warmer portion of the day would be
efficiently high to produce some |
'rowth, and consequently, it would
eem that some growth actually be-
inns before the mean daily tempera-
ure rises to the Negative point or
3 degrees F. However, if the daily
minimum temperature falls below
reezing there can be no permanent
'rowth. But, if the mean daily tenn
erature is above % degrees for any
sngth of time and the minimum tenn
erature does not go below freez-
1g, the buds will awaken from the
ormant stage and growth will begin.
These are the conditions that oc-
lrred last December as can be read
y seen from the following table of
'ecember temperatures.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1925-09-10

to do winter firing would involve TOT
many factors to permit successful
firing.
Conditions that caused the winter
injury of 1919 seem to point to the
same conclusion. December 1919 was
the coolest December since records
began in 1890. The preceding five
months were about normal with re-
gard to temperature. There was no
thing unusual about the weather the
hrst part Of December. Beginning
with the eleventh there was sudden
drop in temperature with a minimum
OF 20 degrees on the 18th. For three
successive days the minimum tenn
perature fell low enough to do in
jury to the fruit buds and for two
days the temperature did not go
above zero. Such unusually low tenn
peratures without much warming up
during the day would make the per-
iods when firing was necessary al
most continuous. The length of the
firing period could only be deter
mined from thermograph traces,
which are not available. Even in that
case the critical temperature for the
peach buds would have to be defin-
ltely known. 1t is doubtful if even
the most efficient heaters could raise
the temperature enough to protect
the buds under such extremes as -25
and -29. Then, also, there is greater
probability of wind in the winter
than in any other season. A wind as
light as four miles an hour would
greatly reduce the efficiency of the
heating apparatus.
The two seasons cited show widely /,
different conditions and would ne
cessitate different handling of the !
hiring equipment. Some other season
might present even different condi-
lions.

tendance for a mid-sumn' er meeting
and several guests and visiting Ro-
tarians, representing widely separat-
ed sections of the country.
The speaker. who is a member of
the Augusta club, spoke at some
length on his own classification, that
of auditor and accountant. Mr.. Fra
zer's talk was we'll prepared and
presented and traced the ancient vo-
cation of accountancy from the ear
liest record down through the ages
to the present century and genera
ton.
The speaker cited instances of de-
falcation and embezZlement. which
might have been prevented with a
proper method of auditing the books
and accounts Of the victimized con-
Germs. He also pointed out that the
national credit associations and pro-
tective organizations are advising
their members to make frequent au-
dts as safeguards.

Thief Steals Cash
While Barber Shop
Proprietor is Out

Herman S. Martin, who conducts
a barber shop up one flight at 264
Water street, returned there after
a few minutes absence, about $50
o'clock yesterday afternoon, to find
that in his absence his cash box had
been rifled, about $5 being taken,
along with valuable razor. He re-
calledsmeeting q man on the stairs,
coming down, and who inquired
where the Red Cross rooms were.
Mr.. Martin thought the man came
out of his shop, but was not certain
as entrances to other offices are in
that general direction. Following a
hunch. Mr.. Martin looked in his cash
box, which he keeps in a top drawer
of the barber table. He discovered
his loss and notified the police, CIV
ing them a description of the man he
met on the stairs.
The supposition is that the man
was looking for the Red Cross
rooms, perhaps to ask for money,
and not finding anyone in, was de-
termined to procure funds anyway.
It was learned that he had inquired
at adjoining offices about the Red
Cross office. The man Mr.. Martin
met on the stairs he describes as

burgh was noted by his physicians
here this evening after his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Rody L. Marshall who
landed in New York today from Eu-

visited the boy late this afternoon.
Young Marshall struck bottom in
a dive from the Narragansett Pier
seawall on July Is. Examination
showed that his spinal cord was
nearly severed and that two verte-
brae were fractured. The IL year
old boy has lain conscious, but WltR
the lower part of his body paralyzed

four o'clock this afternoon, revived
his waning strength, for a little Ia

New England Fisheries
Richest in i. IS.

Washington, July 24.-The fish
fauna off the New England coast Is
one Of the richest and most varied in
American waters, according to a sur
vey by the U. s. Bureau of Fisheries
of the commerce department. About
$50 species have been recorded from
this area and the host of commercial
species includes representatives of the
most important world fishes, such as
the cod, haddock, hake, pollick and re-
lated species; the sea herring, mack
erel, swordfish, halibut, founders. sal
mon, etc. The outlying bank fisheries
extending to the northeast represent
the most important fishing area in the
Americas, on which fishing vessels
from the United States, Canada. New
foundland, France and Portugal
scrape the bottom or set their baited
travis to fill their vessels with the
riches found on these shore areas.
American fishing vessels alone annu-

State Introduces
Technical Testimony
In PickWick Club Trial

Boston, July 24.-(AP)-The
technical part of the states case
against - defendants indicted in
connection with the collapse of the
Pickwick Club on July A, which re-
suited in the death of Al persons,
was opened this afternoon in su-
perior court with the introduction OF
two permits for altering ami repair
work on the ill-fated building.
One of the permits was issued for
the restoration of the building to its
former condition following the fire
in the structure on April IL. The
other authorized snoring and under
pinning work on it's east wall.
Previously two club employees
were called as witnesses. William b.
GIennon, orchestra leader, brother
of James Glennon, the clubs floor
manager, who was killed in the col
lapse, testified there was 40 tables
in the place and about 10 guests at
the time of the disaster. Harris
Hirschberg, a waiter, testified re-
garding the fire in the club on April
IS, the subsequent repairs ana
the crowd on the night of the col
lapse.
The PickW1ck bulldlng coildpSe mas
resulted in rigid city wide investl-
CATION by city building inspectors.
Today two blocks, one in the Back
Bay and the other in the South End,
were ordered closed. Ten apart
ments in the Back Bay building, To-
Gated in the exclusive Fenway sec
ton, were ordered vacated when IT
was found that foundation piles had
settled.
SO thoroughly has the city's popu-
lation been alarmed that the police
receive calls daily to investigate the
conditions of buildings which have
