NEW APPLE DISEASE

Northwestern fruit growers will
have another apple tree disease to con.
tend with if fungus disease discover.
ed in Hood River proves as serious as
now appears. Leroy childs, superinten.
dent of the Hood River experiment
station, has found disease on trees
which manifests itself much like an
thracnose.
1t has also been discovered in the
Spokane and Wenatchee districts
which indicates that it is widely dis.
| tributed. Anth.ocnose has been known
1 in the Hood River district for many
years and the standard remedy is
Spraying with Bordeaux mixture in the
fall after the fruit has been harvested
This disease. however, is not cen
trolled by that spray.
1t is/a new disease in the northwest
and the plant pathologists have not
had time to study 1t infinitely as to
determine which particular species OF
fungus it is.
While it's ear-m,arks are those OF an.
thracnose. it is pointed out by MT
Childs that it would not be well to call
Il that as confusion with the real an
thracnose would result,

APPLE CROP NEARLY NORMAL

The district around White Bluffs
will ship approximately 1870 cars Of
late fall and winter apples this year,
according to a rather careful esti-
mate made on June 3oth by L. E.
Davis, local representative of the
c. M. Kopp company. This esti-
mate includes the territory beginning
at the R. ]. Roberts place at the north
down to and including the L. c.
Krug orchard, and is about 80 per
cent of the 1923 crop, which was
the largest ever produced in this
district. Some of the varieties, such
as Jonathans, will be full crop
while others such as Winesap and
Delicious will be under the 1928
yield, according to Mr.. Davis
estimate. The promised yield is not
uniform, Mr.. Davis says some Of
the orchards having normal crop
while others will not produce much
more than SO per cent Of crop. Gen
orally speaking, the crop is re-
markedly clean of worms and the
fruit is of good sipe for this time Of
the year. Mr.. Davis says he has
placed his estimate purposely low
and saws it is more than likely that
the yield will exceed rather than
fall below his estimate.
Mr.. Davis also estimated the pear
and alberta peach crop in this same
territory. He places the former at
10 to IL cars and the Elbertas at
about the same figure These esti-
mates are for straight cars and
do not include any that may &c
out in mixed cars or by express.

KEMNEWICK WINS

White Bluffs dropped another
game at Kennewick last Sunday by
a score of to 1. The club from
here scored it's lone run in the
carly part of the game and held the
/ to o lead for three innings. Then
the infield wabbled and Kennewick
jumped out in front and was never
headed. Kennewick probably has
the best hitting team in the league
but they were not able to do much
with Swanson, all of their runs be-
ing due to errors. Members of the
White Bluffs club say the umpiring
Sunday was bad, all of the close de-
cisions going against them. And
while Kennewick was entitled to
win the game on the showing of
the two clubs, they say the score
might have been closer had the
club from here got $3.50 break
on the close ones.
A switch was made in the in
field hy moving Knaub over to sec
ond and putting Dick at short. This
may have helped the defense some
what but it was the errors in these
two positions that were most DAM
aging.
Paul Austin is back from school
and he will probably be in the line.
up next Sunday playing short. 1t
is hoped he will strengthen the
club both extensively and defens-
lively.
Hanford won over Richland last
Sunday by score of 6 to 0 and
Cornell lost to Pasco. 2 to 1.
White Bluffs plays at home next
Sunday against Richland.

large block of the liberia peach
crop at White Bluffs this week, con-
tracing the crop at $i.00 f. o. b. to
the glover. This is considered fair
price and will permit the grower to
make some money. The crop is gen.
orally good, especially where orchard

counts said Amundsen and party en- countered fogs soon after it left Kings Bay, in their two planes, and rising above the mist they held their course some hours, until half of their gaso- linewas gone. Then alighting one hundred and fifty miles from the pole the ice jammed in and one plane was crushed as the ice shifted.
 All hands joined in, in an effort to save the other plane, in which they flew back until they encountered the Sjoleiv. Dislodging this plane from the ice took twenty-four days of ex- hausting work, with rations rapidly disappearing.
 When they had discarded all equip ment possible and took the air for Spitzbergen, they had barely enough gasoline and food to reach land, if no more trouble was encountered.
 Another version of Trip
 According to another dispatch. re. lating more fully the hardships of the trip, the Associated Press has the fol lowing to say:
 Having used up half their gasoline, Amundsen's two planes, which left Spitzbergen May 21st, landed in an ice channel to take a bearing, and thereby ascertain their correct posi- tion. Almost instantly both of the planes were frozen fast. Their posi- ton was found to be eighty-seyen de- grees, forty-four minutes, north lati- tude, ten degrees, twenty minutes west longitude.
 It took them twenty-five days to get the N-725 loose from the ice. Their other plane, the N-724 was abandoned where she lay fast in the ice.
 Observations indicated that no land ing place would be found at the pole, and as the rations and gasoline SUD- ply was getting low, the party head ed back towards Kings Bay, flying most of the way. At North Cape, the party met the Norwegian sealer Sioe lev, which gave them a tow and aid ed them in reaching Spitzbergen.

 ping N-725 Out of Ice Pack

OSLO. June 20. (P)-Ellsworth is according to a dispatch from the Dag Bladet. Members of the expedition separated awhile, while in an ice lane where they landed, and Lief Diet richsen and Oskar Omdahl fell into the water, being saved from drowning by Ellsworth. Amundsen and Hjal- mar Nisser and Larsen were on the other side of the ice, and unable to aid the swimming men.
 Regarding the picking up of the members of the expedition, by fish ing boat, dispatch stated the fish ing boat Sjoeliv cutter of twelve tons with crew of nine men, were hunting wounded walrus off Ruggle Bay, on the north side of Spitzenberg when they heard the motor of the air kilometers distant.
 Thought Plane One of Patrol
 The men of the fishing vessel first thought the airplane was one of the patrol planes, sent out by the Norwe- gian government in search of Amund- sen, but when they neared it they rec ognized Amundsen. The boat tried to tow the plane but abandoned it in their hurry to get to Kings Bay.
 The Dagbladet described the arriv- al at the wharf in Kings Bay as fol- lows:
 crowd had gathered awaiting the departure of Heimdal for Dane island, out of the fjord A small vessel was noticed making it's way into Kings Bay, and many persons on the dock thought the launch was chartered by the Associated Press to follow the pa- trol expedition.

The members of the patrol thought it poor joke, but soon they discovered the six polar fliers, dirty and bearded, but still alive.
