GOVERNOR HARTLEY n
TO Be HERE soon

Governor Roland FL. Hartley
told D. S. Wilkinson in Olympia
on Friday Of last week that he
plans to visit this valley some time
within the next three weeks to in
vestigate the state land settlement
project. Mr.. Wilkinson was in the
state capitol on business in connec
tion with the Columbia River Tele-
phone company and took advantage
of an opportunity to visit A. R.
Gardner. Governor Hartley's secre-
tary. Mr.. Gardner suggested and
arranged the interview with the
governor.
Governor Hartley told Mr.. Will
kinson that he had no plan IN mind
regarding the land settlement pro-
ject and would make no recommen-
dations until he had Investigated
it. When told by Mr.. Wilkinson
that there was an impression in
some quarters that the state was
going to give the land to the set
tiers, the governor replied positive
ly that the Estate of Washington is
giving away nothing" and suggest
ed to Mr., Wilkinson that he carry
that message to the settlers, if any
of them we're under such an i'm
preston.
Governor Hartley said he would
leave Olympia so as to arrive in
Yakima on day morning
and would drive ever from Yakima.
He said he would come either this
week, next week or the week fol-
lowing, depending en- when he can
get away from Olympia. He plans
to stay, he said. at least two days
or longer if necessary.

First Cover Spray

The weather is the controlling
factor in setting the date for the
first cover spray. The moths may be
out FIVE days or they may be out a
month before they start laying eggs.
The weather has to be warm at
nights or the moths will not lay
eggs. Another popularity Of the moth
Is that they will lay only at dusk
or night. Taking these two factors
into consideration, you may BE- sure

PRossERITEs GOOD SPORTS
(Prosser Record Bulletin)

Prosser will retire from all effort
to effect the state north and south
highway through this city and will
work with Kennewick, Richland, Ben
ton City, Hanfor and White Bluffs
for the establishment of such a
road through the east end of the
county, it was decided at an execu-
tive meeting at the Community Club
Tuesday afternoon. Lower end COM
mu,1ities will be informed of the
promised cooperation Of prosser, and
a county meeting will PROBABLY be
held in the east end to formulate
plans.
Such a highway would traverse rhe
entire county, entering it at Priest
Rapids, following the Columbia river
down to Kennewick ard on down to
junction with the Columbia river
highway. East end towns will be
natifed Of Prosser'e plan and can
make their desires in the matter
known at a meeting which will prob
ably be held in Benton City within
the next few weeks.
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1925-05-01

that the moths are laying eggs on
any night that the temperature is
so degrees or above for two or
three hours, from eight o'clock in
the evening until morning. 1t has
been definitely proven that the moth
lays practically no eggs when the
temperature is below so degrees.
These, first eggs, depending on
weather conditions, will hatch within
from seven to twelve days. If the
weather is extremely cool for some
time after the eggs are laid, they
may not hatch at all. The egg
Matching period for the first brood
will last about a month, depending
on weather conditions.
The necessity of more than one
cover spray is caused by the growth
Of the apple. If the apple did not
grow larger than cherries one cover
spray would be enough. During the
first month and half of the growth
the apple doubles and sometimes
trebbles its size about every ten
days. This means that ten days after
q spray, at this time, there Twill be
from one-half to two-thirds of the
surface OF the apple uncovered with
spray. This is an ideal condition for
Mr.. Hungry Worm.
Study your weather conditions in
your own orchard, and considering
the above factors, have your first
cover spray completed within to
10 days after the first one or two
warm nights. Follow this spray up
with two more sprays ten days
apart. This should be sufficient
spraying for the first brood. Spray
ing for the second brood will be
given at later date

WHEN TO SPRAY


At this time we should be con-
sidering our spray program for the
next month or so, for the onslaught
of the cooling moth. The number OF
sprays necessary and the time OF
application are the two fundamental
factors to be determined. These
factors will have to be checked by
the individual grower, as a general
spray program, issued for the entire
County, may miss some particular
orchard day or two, which error
might mean many wor1ny apples
for someone.
By the time of the Calyx spray
many moths are out. The moths al
ways start to emerge about this time,
and will be emerging through a
period of from two to three weeks
Winesaps were in full bloom on
the following dates for the past six
years:

1t Vas So Cold in II Memory
Oft Makes old Jim ShiveY

One of the crew was kept busy
picking up ears and noses that
froze and dropped off the loggers
and for a time threatened to tie
up traffic on the tote roads. The
only way the men could keep from
freezing to death at night was by
hanging their feet out of the
hunks into buckets of oil and then
setting their clothes afre, the
heavy wooden garments acting as
wicks.
The men in the woods that year,
La Fortier explained, found it a
waste of time to write letters
Whenever a logger wanted to send
a communication to the settle
ments he would merely go outside
and dictate his message, the words
freezing solid the moment that he
uttered them.
He would then wrap up his con-
versation in an old gunny sack and
address it to the person for whom
it was intended. The recipient
would interpret the message by
thawing it out in the oven.
Hundreds of men died in the
woods that year from overexertion
it is said, as a result of carrying
around the great number of over
coats they found it nescessary to
wear.
The next winter was the year of
blue snow, according to La Fortier
and while the temperature sank to
40 and so below, the men had be-
come used to the cold and worked
throughout the winter in their
shirt sleeves and straw hats.
The weather in 1879 assumed its
present mildness and La Fortier
asserts he sees no signs that the
present cold spell indicates a repi-
tition of the cold snap that gripped
the lumber country in 1877.

Neilsville, Wis.,-Students of the
weather who are now engaged in
telling the country that this is one
of the coolest winters ever recorded
are unwittingly arousing indigna-
ton among old time loggers who
operated in the days when Paul
Bunyan and his Seven Axemen
were in the heyday of their careers.
Jim La Fortier of this city, who
was logging in this part of the
state fifty years ago, is authority
for the statement that in the year
of the two winters, 1877, when
they had winter all summer and
then in the fall it turned colder,
the temperature slid down to 68
below zero on January IA.
At Paul Bunyan's Big Onion
camp on the Little Gimlet, where
it joins the Big Anger river, ac-
cording to La Fortier, the snow
became so deep that year that the
crews had to dig down to find the
tops of the tallest pines and the
choppers were lowered to the base
of the trees by means of ropes.
The logs were hauled to the sur
face with long parbuckle chains to
which Babe, Paul Bunyan's big
blue OK, mounted on snowshoes,
was attached.
The stove pipes on the shanties
were heightened so as to reach the
surface by boring out logs with a
long six inch augers and linking
them together. La Fortier said
that on one particularly snappy
day, Big Joe set the boiling coffee
pot on the stove and it froze up so
quickly that the ice was hot.
Before spring had arrived, the
great lakes were frozen to the
bottom and it is said would never
have been thawed out if Paul had
not chopped the ice out and hauled
it on shore for the sun to melt.

This is Thrift Week

IT. HRIFT means primarily earning more than YOU
spend but it has a second significance which is
- no less important and that is spending wisely.
Mere miserliness is not thrift but, the other
hand, no one who regularly all that he earns
be properly termed thrifty no matter how wisely he
may do his spending
True thrift is rational compromise between saving
and wise spending 1t alone cannot be depended upon
to make wealthy but it can be depended upon usu-
ally to prevent poverty and help effectively in making
the most of life.
1t is quite possible for some persons to become very
wealthy without being thrifty but it is possible for
the average to get along moderately we'll
without some degree of this virtue.
Business ability is quite another matter very often
found in association with thrift but always There
nave been too many examples of thrifty people who
continually saving small amounts of money making
unsafe and disastrous investments Such people lack
business ability Others have that ability developed to
such an extent that they accumulate wealth with
out thrift.
Capital is the major factor in producing wealth un-
der modern conditions and capital results from thrift
In general way capital is that portion of produced
goods not consumed, that portion aside nsur-
against essened production or devoted in the
shape of tools factory buildings and forth increase
production
Thrift in nation is necessary for that nations well
fare The thrifty nation the higher the general
average of comfort and well being, the less thrifty the
lower AS examples Holland and Russia furnish the two
types Holland has been notably thrifty for centuries
Russia notably unthrfty.
The United States is not thrifty as might be
wished but the savings bank statistics show that this
nation has pretty fair record To certain extent the
United States is in the position of the who can
make money fast he doesn't have to be thrifty But
this is due the development of and the
predominance of undeveloped in proportion
to population.
AS the country becomes more thicK1y settled and
natural more fully developed increased
thrift will be necessary If the present standards
be NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Telegram

St. Patrick Girls Are
Now In Favor of
Long Tresses

It looks as though the bobbed-
haired damael has had her
fling.
There arc fifty-four pretty
Washington girls in the "Pat-
ter Revue of 1926" which the
St. Patrick Players will pre-
sent at Carroll Hall beginning
next Monday night, and thirty
one have the abbreviated tresses.
The other twenty-three have
never visited a barber shop or
felt the shipping scissors of the
beauty parlcr.
Madeline Baker, costume de-
signer and director of the play
ers, is against the bobbed locks.
She believes that the craze for
the hair dress popularized by
Irene Castle has run its course.
So she took a poll of the girls
of the st. Patrick company who
have the shorn locks. Eighteen
of the bobDed girls voted they
wouldn't have it done again.
They're going to- let their curls
grow.
That makes a comfortable
majority against the shorter
and snappier tresses. But all
the girls are in favor Of the
new Lady Peel style of hair
dressing, which brings sheII-like
ears out into bold relief.

ITO the accomplishment of this
