There are no statutes Of men
who felt sorry for themselves.
Much that passes for philosophy

Wisdom is merely the reaction

A pipe is really cheaper, and is

The problem Of the son and

PASCO is NOW
WITHOUT BANK
First National Closes to AL
low Reorganization
Open in 10 Days or So

Pasco is now without a bank, the
First National failing to open Tues
day morning. This is the second bank
to close within two months in our
sister town across the river. The
state bank examiner who was present
at the time announces that the legal
reserve was up to the proper figure
and the bank is not BROKE but that
the institution was closed to allow
for reorganization.
Contributing causes given were the
closing of the Bank of Pasco and the
American Security Bank.
According to latest advices a re-
organization is in process and a new
bank will soon open its doors in
Pasco.
Financial conditions in Kennewick
are much better at the present time
than they have been for several years.
While the deposits subject to check
have not risen notably the indebted
ness of the community has been re-
duced about one hundred thousand
dollars over last year. This indicates
a healthy condition for this commun-
ity, according to the bankers. The
statement issued by the First Nation
al bank at the close of business on
September % indicates that the bank
is in splendid financial shape.

PITSBURG WINS
WORLD SERIES
81 Victory in Pouring Rain
Makes Pirates Champs
Report by Radio

Pittsburg won the final and deci-
sive game of the worlds series base
ball game today by score of 9 to z.
This information was received here
as we go to press, by wire and radio.
The game was played in a down
pour of rain and the field was so
dark at times that spectators could
not see the ball. Frequent intermis-
sions were called to sprinkle sawdust
upon the diamond, the field was so
slippery.
Walter Johnson, the idol of the
series, pitched the entire game for
Washington. The climax of the game
came in the eight inning when Wash
ington led by one score 7-6. With two
men out, nobody on bases, two
bagger put runner on second. An
other two-base hit tied the score. A
pass, hit and an error filled the
bases and the next man up hit it
into the bleachers. The umpire's de-
cision allowed but two of the runs
to count, however. so the score stands
9-7.

FREE STORAGE
FOR FUEL OIL
Yakima Concern Offers 8.
Car Tank if Consump-
ton Justifies Expense

The offer of large fuel oil stor-
age has been made to Kennewick
orchardists free, providing only there
is consumption enough to warrant
the installation.
j. S. Mcdonald. of the Washington
Dehydrating Co., of Yakima, in a
statement made to the Commercial
club recently, said that his firm
would consider the installation of a
tank in Kennewick with a capacity of
three cars, and would agree to keep
a sufficient supply of the oil on hand
to serve the orchardists in the spring.
So great was the success of the
orchard heating last spring in the
orchards of this valley that many
owners are seriously contemplating
the enlargement of their present
equipment, or installing complete new
heating plants. One of the big draw
backs to the use of fuel oil in this
community has been the lack of suf-
ficient storage. With this offer, this
feature can easily be solved. The
Commercial club is asking that those
who figure on using the oil this COM
ing spring list their estimated needs
that the Yakima firm may make their
installation this fall. Notify this
paper or the, secretary of the club
as soon as convenient, please, that
McDonald's firm may go ahead.
Orchard heating, as crop insur-
ance, for the softer fruits especially,
has come to stay. Remains only the
selection of the type of heater best
suited. There are adherents who
strongly favor each of the types, the
coal and the oil, and both have ar
guments in their favor. Recent i'm
provements in the burners seem to
give the edge little to the oil type.

FRUIT ROW VISIT
CURE FOR BLUES
Warehouses Humming with
Activity = Apple Boxes
Piled to Rafters

As a cure for pessimism, trip
thru Fruit Row right now is the one
best bet. Scores of men and women
are working sorting and packing the
fine crop of apples grown in this dis
trict this year and each of the ware
houses is humming with activity.
Apples, packed and loose are piled
to the rafters in each of the houses
and additional storage is being con-
tracted for. At the Big plant Man
ager Desgranges states that he has
already shipped out 165 cars of ap-
Piles and will have to move thirty-fve
more in order to have storage capac-
ity for the balance of his customers
crop.
In every place sorting and packing
crews are working at top speed and
the fruit is rapidly going into stor-
age or being rolled to the eastern
markets.
The local Winesap crop is grading
up fine, good color and size, and the
percentage of the better grades is
noticeably better than in previous
years. Crops are running about thir-
ty to thirty-five per cent extra fancy,
about the same fancy and the bal
ance C-Grade. The cullage is remark
ably light. In one instance the cul-
lage was less than one-half of one per
cent. The average will be around six
or seven per cent.
In the Big Y plant the two new
Brodexing machines are covering the
entire output with the alright pre-
servative which is the newest stunt
on the market. The process, which
has been explained in these columns
before, puts a parafine coating on
the apples at an expense no greater,
it is claimed than using oiled paper.
In addition to the preserving quail
ity the machine removes all traces
of spray and polishes the apples thus
removing one Of the alleged objec-
tions to the western boxed product.
These two machines are the only
ones in the world for the processing
of apples, and the experiment prom
ises to become universal.
A trip thru Fruit Row will be
revelation to those who are not fa-
miliar with the work there and will
give an insight to the extent of the
apple industry in this community.

Ton the agrononlist at the station,
st.tes that the spuds on these plots
this wear are Of good quality but that
ia Weld is low. This is in line with
the Yields of corn and wheat in pre-
yious years. Adjacent fields upon
vhich alfalfa has been grown have
moduced heavier crops each year
than have the fertilizer plots. Diff
frences in the yields from various
fertilizers are beginning to appear
but the data is too incomplete as yet
for conclusions as to comparative
talues of commercial fertilizers on
these plots.
The alfalfa seed production exper-
iment was limited success. Both
hrst and second cuttings of alfalfa
were left for seed and plots Of each
irrigated at various stages of growth
and with different amounts Of water.
Seed: yields were from nothing to $50
pounds per acre, but the information
secured is valuable for planning fu-
ture Investigations. Alfalfa seed is a
valuable crop under irrigation in sew
ersl states and we hope to learn
something Of the factors which have
prevented the Developments Of the
seed crop in irrigated Washington.
Alfalfa specialists have advised that
sstudy Of the irrigation requirements
t. seed production under our soil
nd climate conditions is of first inn
portance. Mr.. Wright, the irrigation
specialist, is following that sugges-
tion and is mindful that other limit
ING factors may appear.

THIRTY BOXES
SAPS TO TREE
Highland Orchardist Sets
New Production Record
Grade and Color High

Thirty boxes of Winesaps to- the
tree is not so bad, you know. And a
fellow that can claim such record
has more or less right to brag lit
tie. Anyway Lou Keene Of the
Highlands don't feel badly about it.
While only two trees in his orchard
made that record he has row OF
ten trees that averaged from 22 to
80 boxes to the tree and the average
for that 211s-acre orchard is about
seventeen boxes to the tree.
The apples are well colored and
will make good grade. Picking will
be completed this week and the crop
packed out at the Big Y plant.

DEHYDRATOR IS
IN PROSPECT
Extraction Of Moisture in
Products is Big Aid
in Marketing

"A dehydratlng plant for the pres
ervation of the various products of
this district, especially sweet spuds,
is a possibility of the near future.
A comparatively inexpensive plant
for the extraction of a small per-
centage of the moisture Of potatoes,
for instance, would prove boon to
the spud growers.
The process consists of keeping the
product at temperature of about
ninety degrees for about ten days,
evaporating seven to ten per cent of
the moisture, afterwards removing to
a temperature Of about forty degrees
for another ten days. Sweet potatoes
treated in this manner will keep for
six months or more and still lose no.
thing in flavor or texture.
One of the first things the dealers
ask when approached On the matter
of handling Kennewick products is:
IT, we take on your stuff, how long
will you be able to supply us? The
longer that time is, the better the
chance for the local product. Instead
of a six weeks season on sweet spuds
a six months season would guarantee
the sale of the crop. A curing" or
dehydrating plant would seem indis-
pensible.
In Yakima such plant is in op-
Grafton with marked success. The
same company, the Washingtot De-
hydrating Co., is anxious to install
similar plant here. If there is a
sufficient tonnage in sight for an
other year, this portion Of the mar
keting problem can easily beAsolved.
