business ventures have struggled for
years to attain the highest degree of
efficiency, before reaching the point
of maximum production for minimum
cost. The same condition in my opin-
ION applies to past reclamation.
In view of the past experience of
the reclamation service and the
knowledge which has been gained and
which only could have been acquired
by experience, / feel that the service
at this time is in much better po-
sition to. undertake and accomplish
the development of the Columbia Ba-
sin than at any previous time in it's
history"

president of the basin irrigation
league, by Mr.. Locher follows:
u have always felt and believed
that the Columbia basin project is a
great national asset and should be
developed, not as a venture for pri-
vate or personal gain, but for the
good of the entire nation.
"We must consider the proposition
as part only of the irrigable lands
Of the United States, which lands
We feel and believe eventually must
be irrigated. When we take into con-
sideration the amount of acreage OF
arid land which has already been ,r-
rigated, within the past 70 or 20
years, either by private capital or OF
that of the government, and at the
same time considering the rapidly IN
creasing population of the United
States, it would seem as it the time
is not far distant when the develop
ment of the Columbia basin must be
taken up and vigorously pushed to
completion.
The fact must not be lost sight OF
that the engineering and construc-
ton problems Of this great proJecI
are of the greatest magnitude ana
Importance, and the actual accom-
plishment of the work in hand Will
require a space of time of from Q TO
years, at the expiration of which
the population of the United States
will have materially increased anu
the market for products Of the Co
iumbia basin much enlarged.
Whilst it comes to my knowledge
that there is much adverse criticism
as to the feasibility and necessity OF
The development of the Columbia
basin at this time, such criticism
feel has been brOt about in gerat
measure by the publication OF reports
as to the past accomplishments OF tne
reclamation service, both as to con-
struction costs and ultimate develop
ment of the projects, whilst, the costs
OF the projects have exceeded prellm-
mary estimates, brot about by nee
essary charges and extensions, tns
return of capital to the government
mas not been what was expected. oucn
results do not necessarily mean tnat
reclamation is a failure by any
means.
AS view the situation the recia-
nation projects in most instances
are vet in an embryo state and sus,
eeeptable of vreat development ana
increase of wealth.
1T is rather difficult to estimate
at this time the true value OF the
partially developed reclamation pro-
!ects for the reason that uitlmate
results have not yet been reached'

PECULIAR

This is a peculiar country. Along
in the winter, all the farmers were
told that there would be another bare
year, that all the fruit had been Win
ter killed and they might as well
plow up their berries, cut down their
trees and go hunt 'em job of work.
This week we get reports that a
farmer on the River Road received
over nine thousand dollars for his
crop of cherries, taken from less than
four acres.
Another man on the Highlands har-
vested sixty tons Of cherries and re-
fused to consider an offer of twenty
five thousand dollars for his twenty
acres.
The berry crop was fine-the par,
that wasn't plowed up.
Oscar, be yourself!

VALLEY CHERRY
CROP is 1O4 CARS
Train Loads of Cerries at
Express Speed Repre-
sent $340, 900 to Growers

Fast cherry specials running at
passenger train speed carried 1O4
cars of cherries from the valley the
past week. The highly perishable
shipments represented gross return
to the growers Of approximately
$4,000.
Shipments for the season to date
total 1862 cars, or within but 15 or 20
cars of the original cherry crop esti-
mate, which has been found to be
far too low. Present indications are
that the total commercial crop will
easily exceed 200 cars, practically all
Of the orchards yielding much heav-
ier tonnage than originally antici-
pated.
The upper valley movement for the
week, 90 cars, will be more than
double next week. Eighty-one cars
were shipped from lower valley
points, with Kennawick's load:ngs
cleaned up and the last Of the Grand
view district crop scheduled to move
today. Of the 1O4 total for the per-
iod, Is cars went to canneries at
Washington coast and Oregon points
and to the Libby, McNeill & Libby
plant hern
Eleven cars of new potatoes quot
ed at $55 fob. Kennewick were load
ed out there for Sound points. The
new spuds were packed in 50-lb. lug
containers to prevent bruising and
skin slip. Fifteen cars of 1924 crop
tubers were shipped, bringing the
total spud movement to 26 cars. One
car of turnips was shipped from Top
penish to the coast.
Apple shipments filled 35 cars,
leaving about so cars in cold storage.

BIG Y INSTALLS
TWO Professors
Method Adds Polish and Ex-
tends Keeping Qualities
of Winter Apples

Great progress has been made in
the methods of handling fruit in the
past decade but the movement is yet
IN its infancy. The necessity of send
ing our fruit to market clear across
the continent requires that it should
be carefully harvested as to the pro-
per degree of ripeness, hurried to the
cold storage and there carefully grad
ed and packed, so that it leaves the
point Of origin in the best possible
condition in order to arrive on the
market in prime condition, for upon
condition depends the price that will
be received.
Every year many thousands Of box
es of Jonathan apples go to waste
because of shortage of refrigerator
cars and many more thousands of
boxes arrive in the east in condition
unfit for use entailing a loss that
reaches staggering figures. Thotful
men have spent years of effort and
fortunes of money to overcome this
difficulty and to find some method by
which this economic waste may be
eliminated. The answer seems to
have come in the new Brogdex meth
cd of treatment. Experiments have
been carried on for the past four
years and in every test the process
has been successful. 1t has been
found that Jonathan apples thus
treated can be shipped in box cars
and will arrive in the eastern mar
ket in better condition than those un-
treated and shipped under refrigera-
ton. The life of apples held in dry
storage is prolonged from two to four
months, and to make this process
still more attractive. the cost is no
greater than the difference between
plain and oiled wraps-plain wraps
being used on the processed fruit.
What is the Brogdex method? It
is chemical compound, coEorless,
oderless, tasteless and harmless. It
is brushed onto the apples as it pass
es thru a specially constructed ma
chine. It is not a coating but simply
fills the pores in the skin of the ap-
pie and thus prevents the destructive
bacteria from entering. gives it a
beautiful polish and sends it on it's
way to tempt the consumer.
Two of these machines are now be-
ing constructed and will be installed
in the Big Y warehouse, to be con-
nected with the two big Cutler siz-
| ing machines. The combined capaci-
| ty of the machines is 5000 boxes
La day or $50 boxes an hour. All Big
Y apples at the Kennewick plant will
be treated with this process this sea-
| son. The Kennewick warehouse is
the only plant in the Northwest that
will be thus equipped. This plant
was selected because of it's superior
facilities and because it's manager,
H. w. Desgranges. is known to give
attention to every detail Of his work.
If the system works out as success
fully on a large scale as il has in the
variorss tests, it eill revolutionize
the handling of apples out of the
Northwest.
Brogdexing oranges has been car
ried on for number of years and
the processed fruit is commanding
1 nramium in the markets 1t is con-
fidently predicted that the result will
he the same with apples.

TEMPERATURES
UP TO 100 MARK
Today Hottest with los
Storm Sunday Does
but Little Damage

1t took long time this year for
summer to get here but when it
finally came we were furnished with
some regular torrid days. For a
week now the official temperature
has been lowering above the hundred
mark. Today was the hottest day
when the temperature reached los
at the official station on the High
lands,
The thunder storm Sunday didn't
relieve the situation much altho lot
of rain fell and little hail, accom-
panied by display of lightning that
reminded lot of folks of Minnesota
and Iowa storms.
The lightning struck a couple of
trees in the little park next to Hotel
Kennewick, stripping the bark off
and playing hob with the electrical
system. In Pasco,. it is reported light
ming struck the bell on the Catholic
church, hoped over and took a cor
ner off the hospital. One of the
nurses was rendered unconscious for
a brief period.
The wind, while it tore loose sew
eral fruit trees on the Highlands and
a shade tree or two in town, did not
do much damage, from all reports,
to the apple crop. The hail was so
small that no damage was done to
fruit or grain. The rain, coming just
at this time was of great value to
the wheat farmers who look for the
biggest yield ever taken from the
Horse Heaven hills.
Temperatures as reported by F.
Spiegelberg, the government report
er for the past week are as follows:
