FIGHT CHANGE

Law Meetings held in eastern Wash

q the proposed change.
The proposed change would mean
.ho. the Trail would be marked from
spokane thru Davenport and to We
ratchee and thence to Ellensburg,
eliminating Colfax, Dayton, Walla
Walla. Pasco, Kennewick and the
other valley towns from here to Yak

SELECT DATES
FOR HUNTING
Valley Game Commissioners
Fix Open Season on
Upland Birds

Hunting dates for the Yakima Val
ley on upland birds were fixed yester-
day at a zone meeting held in Yaki-
ma, which was attended by the Ben
ton county game commissioners, of
which w. H. Gascoigne Of this city
is member. Eight days only will
be permitted for the hunting of up
land birds this year, starting with
two consecutive days instead of three
as in former years. The dates fixed
are October 25 and 26, November 1,
a, 8, IL and Is, being Sunday and
Monday in October and then Sunday
and Wednesday during the first two
weeks of November.
Franklin county has been included
in the Yakima Valley zone this year
instead of in the Walla Walla zone,
as conditions in that locality are very
similar to those on this side of the
river.
The last years plan seemed to meet
with favor from every viewpoint ex-
cept one-that of having three days
at the beginning of the season which
resulted in a veritable slaughter. BY
cutting the opening of the season to
two days, the commissioners think
a large number of birds will be
saved. n
That the new schedule of dates
found favor was evidenced by the in
creased number of permits issued last
year. About $500 permits were put
ont, this being substantial increase
over previous issues.
The meeting in Yakima was at
tended by the entire game commis-
sion of this county, consisting of b.
p. Lawrence of Prosser, chairman;
Emery Mahan of Prosser and w. II.
Gascoigne of Kennewick.

PIPES SPRAY
THRU ORCHARD
Jacobs Highland Orchard
Installing Stationary
Bug Eradicator

Kennewick's first stationary spray
rig is being started this week on the
Highland ranch belonging to Franls
Jacobs. This style of farm equipment
is in general use in some orchard
sections, but this particular one is
the only one in the Yakima valley
this side of Grandview. In Wenat-
chez stationary rigs are in general
use and are proving very satisfac-
tory, according to reports.
Mr.. Jacobs ranch consists of two
nine-acre tracts of apples, lying on
opposite sides of the road. His new
equipment will consist Of a thousand
gallon concrete pressure tank filled
by heavy duty pump. From the tank
the spray will be distributed thru the
orchards by means of inch and three
quarter inch iron pipes, laid foot
Or SO under ground. These pipes will
run down each sixth tree row and
will have openings every sixth tree
for flexible hose connections. From
each outlet it will be possible to spray
three trees in each direction with a
100-foot hose, thus allowing the COW
ering of twelve trees at each connec-
ton.
The equipment will be so arranged
with valves that but one line of pipe
at time will be filled with spray So
luton. These valves will also allow
for draining the pipes after use.
On Wenatchee ranches this same
system permits one man to cover as
many as ten acres Of trees with spray
day, and effects large saving in
time as well as allowing the applica-
tion at the exact time to derive the
maximum benefit from the spray.
As to cost, Mr.. Jacobs states that
the entire investment will be less than
required for the giant rigs now on
the market for the larger orchards
and that the life Of the equipment
should exceed that of the portable
rigs by many times. Local orchardists
are watching results with a great
deal of interest.

FIXING THE
CITY'S STREETS
Road Work Comes in for
Share of Attention
from City Officials

A vast improvement is being made
In the condition of the city's streets
some of which have had no work
upon them since the laying OF the
sewer pipes some ten or twelve years
ago. The work so far consists OF
grading and leveling only, but even
with that amount of work the only
complaint that is being heard is tha!
it will serve to divert traffic from
the main street which cannot be
smoothed out with the facilities al
the disposal of the city at the pres,
ent time.
Since the state highway commits
sion has appropriated money for the
paving of the highway from the city
limits to Richland there has been
much headscratching among local res
idents to devise ways and means OF
continuing the pavement from the
city limits to the bridge. The oEly
possible solution that seems at all
feasible is that. of removing the Gar
den Tracts district from the bound
aries of the city. In this manner it is
thot the county can make arrange
ments for keeping the road in pass
able condition, or perhaps the state
highway department can begin its
paving program at the bridge instead
of at the pump house on the river
road.

pollenizers, on the forty-acre tract
recently acquired by the Vista Or
chard Co., known as the Hembree
tract. we'll have a pear crop this
year, too," said Mr.. Vickers, who has
forced the buds. His experiments
show that the twigs develop well,
have sturdy blossom and close in
spection reveals no serious injury to
the fruit bud. 81 figure Herb Gran
mer knows pears as well as anybody
in this valley" he said, "and Herb
says he is preparing for a full crop
of pears this year."
Mr.. Vickers has just received a
shipment of 5000 pounds of winter
vetch seed and the orchards of both
companies will be seeded to winter
vetch as a cover crop.
