WILL SHIP 80
CARS OF GRASS
Early Crop Equals Esti.
mate - Will Cut for
Another Month

Kennewick's asparagus shipments
will about hit the preseason esti-
mates of twenty-five to thirty car
loads. With the shipment tomorrow
of car to the East, twenty-five cars
have been loaded and the season will
last for nearly month longer, ac-
cording to Lee NJ. Lampson, manager
of the Three. River Growers Associa-
ton.
In addition to the satisfactory ton
mage from the asparagus fields this
year the most gratifying feature is
the fact that the Kennewick pack is
becoming recognized on the markets
as the best possible to procure. The
quality, grade and pack is being ac-
cepted by dealers in every market
and the Kennewick product has been
able to command a premium in near
ly every instance.
After a mid-season slump in the
price, the quotations have gradually
been increased until the eastern price
last quoted has been $1.50 fob. Ken
newick. Owing to the warmer wealth.
er in the east it will not be possible
to maintain this price, however, as
the local crops are beginning to flood
the markets.
Dealers and growers alike are well
pleased with the seasons prices and
production and next year will see a
still larger production.

BERRY CROP is
SMALLEST EVER
Winter Freeze and Late
Frosts Kill Half Crop
Acreage is Smaller

|, Strawberry shipments from Kenne.
wick will be smaller this year than
for many years, in the opinion of
local dealers. The acreage has beer
materially reduced and the winter
freeze resulted in a serious reduction
in the production from the remain
ing patches.
The past week of fine weather has
caused the berries that were unhurt
to mature rapidly and due to. the
fine quality the first weeks quota
tions were between five and six dol
lars per crate on the coast market
Due to the arrival of the California
crop the price has taken an early
decline and today's quotations are
at $3.75 per crate. 1t is expected,
that the seasons average will be
around four dollars.
Practically every patch in the val
ley has been injured, either by the
winter freeze or by the frost Of last
week. The patches will average from
40 to 60 per cent Of a crop, with a
very few favored ones running to ar
eighty per cent yield.
Tree fruits escaped serious damage
and it is estimated that fifteen tc
seventeen cars Of cherries alone will
be shipped from this point. The apple
crop will be good.

YELLOWSTONE
TRAIL SHIFTED
TO WENATCHEE
New Route Cuts Out Yali-
ma Valley Points; Move
not to be Fought

Kennewick is no longer on the Yel-
lowstone Trail, which crosses the con-
tinent from Plymouth Rock to Puget
Sound, it was officially announced
this week. By a two to one vote Of
the association the route will be thru
Wenatchee from Spokane, over the
Sunset Highway, a shortening of the
distance between Spokane and Seattle
of about 140 miles.
The new route runs thru Daven-
port, Wilbur, Coulee City, Waterville,
Wenatchee, Blewett Pass and Gle
Elum. The route used for Is years,
with change threatened annually
by way Of boosting for support for
the Trail association, included Col
fax, Dayton, Walla Walla, Pasco,
Kennewick and the Yakima Valley
towns to Ellensburg.
President ID. G. Rodgers Of the local
Commercial club says there will be
no effort made by the organizations
Of the valley to combat the change
which is effective Immediately. He
is and has been, frank in saying that
lowstone Trail has not been Of any
benefit to the valley.
"0n account Of the diversion meth
DDS used in Spokane, We get very lit
tie business from the Yellowstone
Trail company anyway" Mr.. Rodgers
points out. "As good roads are be-
ing developed everywhere, the value
of such trails is rapidly decreasing.
There can be no question Of the adj
vantage Of the state as whole adher-
ing to the route thru the Yakima
Valley. This takes the motorists thru
a settled country, one of the most
beautiful in the state, and the tourist
is never far away from garage
or service station. There are no long
stretches of road thru what is prac-
tically an arid desert, where an ac-
cident, even Of a minor nature, be-
comes serious because Of the diff
Guilty in getting service. / do not be-
lieVe we will lose many tourists be-
cause Of the change in route and we
will be in better position to put our
claims before the people,"

GOTTA LEARN
EN- ALL OVER
Council Changes Name of
All Streets Except One
Ready for that 25,0O0

"Gosh! Is that where / live? Well
I'm glad to find it out" and similar
expressions are being heard this week
in Kennewick as the city council has
got thru changing the names of the
city's streets.
"Of course there isn't much danger
of getting lost here now, nor is it
very difficult to direct stranger to
the yellow house up there where
Smith lives, but in couple of years
it'll be another matter" as Mayor j,
C. Liebee expresses it. "The town
will be a city here before we know
it and We might as well prepare for
it now."
On the new map Second street will
appear as Kennewick Avenue; Wash
ington street will remain as it is.
These tow streets will be the divid-
ing lines. The avenues will run east
and west and the streets north and
south. South of the new Kennewick
Avenue the streets take on the names
First Avenue, Second Avenue, and
so on. East of Washington the street
will be names of towns in the state,
beginning with Auburn, Benton, in
alphabetical order, clear down to Pee
Ell. West of Washington the same
system will be used, but with names
of trees instead of towns. Yakima
street will be Ash, Tacoma will be
Birch, State will be Cedar and on
down thru the list.
For a while it looked like the coun-
cilmen were up stump proper in
working out this plan. They couldn't
think of tree starting with a K.
After search thru all the available
reference works they finally found
one fit-Kentia. This is real name,
too-not just make shift. The Ken
tia is a small palm-like tree that
grows in the South Sea Islands. So
Kentia is the name of "K" street,
west.
Now do YOU know where you live !?

BALL TEAM is
AGAIN VICTOR
Now in Position to Con
test Pasco's Claim for
First Place

eff shortstops grew like asparagus
in this country, we'd have a ball
team that would beat anything in its
Glass;" said Manager Ferrell this
week, speaking of the ball game last
Sunday. "Richland has next to ours
the best team in the Strawberry
league, and with the easy victory
Sunday we ought to have no trouble
in climbing to top place and staying
there the rest of the season. Our on
ly weak spot is at short, and this
community hasn't produced real
player for this position since the days
of the Barham boys, when Curt An
derson was a star. We are going to
try out every man on the team in this
job and we may discover something
yet"
The game Sunday was up to the
press notices and was enjoyed by an
enthusiastic crowd. But for one bad
inning, real baseball was dished out
the score being 50. Marty, the local
pitcher allowed but two hits, neither
of which resulted in score, however.
Pitcher Burgh for the visitors was
touched for seven safe ones before
he was replaced by Yedica in the
seventh.
The victory Sunday puts Kenne-
wick in second place, with Pasco in
the lead. Next Sunday we play the
tailenders, Hanford, on the local
grounds, and Pasco will have scuf-
file with Richland.

MOONS EFFECT
SUPERSTITION
Weather Observer Cook
Says Moon Phase has No
Bearing on Temperature

There is probably no subject which
so fully occupies our attention and is
of so much Importance in our daily
life and in shaping the varied activ-
tiles of human life as the weather.
Yet there is probably no subject
about which the ordinary person
knows less and where ignorance and
superstition are more universal than
in connection with the weather and
weather changes.
One of the most common of these
superstitions is the control Of the
weather by the stars, planets and
more often by the moon. Going hand
in-hand with these is the superstition
that danger of frost is greater when
the moon is full than when it is
dark and that damage to fruit buds
and blossoms is greater, with the
same minimum temperature. during
full moon than during new moon.
This is purely superstition and q
careful examination of frost records
for the past fifty years for different
parts of the country has shown con-
clusively that there is no correlation
between the phases of the moon and
frosts. Frosts of equal severity have
occurred during all phases OF the
moon. The moon changes phase once
every week, approximately, or stat
ing it differently, it is one month
from full moon to full moon. The
time of occurrence of the phases OF
the moon have been very carefully
worked out by astronomers and can
be foretold for years In advance
There is no reason to believe that a
temperature of, say 20 degrees, would
not be just as cold and do just as
much damage when the moon was
full as when it was dark, other con-
ditions being the same.
The reason for a belief to the con-
trary may be explained as follows;
During the time of new moon the
fruit is still in the bud and tenn
perature of "a degrees is recorded
Generally speaking, fruit in the but
will stand a temperature of 20 de.
prees for about half hour without
showing damage. But, with tenn
perature even this low we should ex ex

PESTS ELECTRoCUTED
Upper Brothers will Electrocute Pest
Scheme is New Here

The electric chair for the coddling
moth is the latest thing in scientific
orcharding. Tupper Bros. are plan
ming on installing device for elec-
trocuting the pests in their orchards
this summer. The scheme is untried
here and will be watched with interest
by all fruit growers.
Lamps will be placed at intervals
thruout the orchards to attract the
moths. The lamps are surrounded by
screen with the alternate wirers
connected with the electric terminals.
When the moth touches two wires
she makes "short" thru her body
and is electrocuted.
1t is said that the device does not
use a great deal of electricity and the
chief expense is in wiring the orchard
for carrying the juice.-Sunnyside
