MANY NEW CHANGERS

Crangers turned out in full force
at their regular meeting last Thurs
day night to welcome forty new men,
oers into their organization. The
initiatory goat was in very frolic-
some mood and provided many hilari-
Gus moments for the onlookcrs at the
expense of the candidates, all Of whom
came up smiling after providing their
share OF the fun. Ice cream and caks;
were served at the close of the eve
ming.
Among the new grangers are the
members of the White Bluffs band
taken in as body by special arrange
ment with the Benton County Pomona
and having a place of honor on the
program at the state convention at
Kennewick next week.
All the grangers are looking for
ward with much interest to the con-
vention, the only drawback being that
when the state Grange set June for its
annual meeting years ago, the earliness
and busy-ness of our banana belt
had not yet been demonstrated, SO
that continuous attendance by local
farmers, while very helpful and des.r-
able, will be out of the question.

ESTIMATE 1926 FRUIT
CROP LESS THAN 1925

Fruit production in the Yakima val
ley considerably below the tonnage
of 1925 was forecast in conference
of 16 deputy inspectors and w. l..
Close, district horticultural inspector
for Yakima and Kittitas counties, and
E. E. Hill, district horticultural in
spector for Benton County, says the
Yakima Herald.
Only in the instance of peaches and
apricots does the estimate exceed the
production in 1925. In general the
lower estimates are attributed to frost
damage and lack of pollination due to
unfavorable weather for the working
of bees.
A light Delicious crop and light
setting of Winesaps in many local
apple production to 14,Co0 cars as
against approximately 15,450 cars in
1925. The pear tonnage is estimated
at practically the same as the 1925
pear production.
The increase in peach production
is based on the expectation that
many young peach orchards will have
crop this season. If the old trees
bear the same as last year, the addi-
ton of the crop from young orchards
will make the tonnage considerably
greater than that of 1925, it was the
opinion Of the inspection force.
The tonnage of plums and prunes
will be somewhat less than in 1925,
according to the estimate. The cherry
production will be less than half that
of a year ago. Recent frost damage
to grapes has reduced the prospective
crop below the production of last year.
Before the recent frost damage there
was actually a potential tonnage, so
per cent greater than that of 1925:
The estimates are for the three
counties of Yakima, Benton, and Kit
titas.

COOL WEATHER HOLDS
BACK CHERRY CROP

The cool weather continues to
hold back the cherry crop. Some OF
the local growers shipped out few
crates the first of the week but de-
cided to pull off their picking crews
until the cherries have taken on more
size and color. While the trees in
most of the orchards are not as
heavily loaded as last year the quail
ity promises to be unusually good.
Generally speaking, the cherry crop all
over the Northwest is reported to be
considerably under last year. E.
Bowles, the big cherry grower of
Prosser, estimates his crop at rs per
cent of last seafon's and this estimate
is somewhat higher than that given
out by other districts. Some of the
later districts like The Dalles, Lewis
ton, Charleston and others are said to
have contracted their Bings at 9 and
the Royal AIMS at cents per pound
to the canneries. In the earlier dis
tricts the price will probably be con-
s:derably higher than that.
Some complaint is heard locally
about picking the cherries before they
are ripe. 1t is claimed that not only
do the growers lose more in weight
than they make in the higher prices
by picking too soon, but that by ship
ping out the green or unripe cherries
they hurt the market for the ripe
fruit and everybody loses in the end.
An exceptionally fine sample box
was sent the first of the week by w.
H. Webb to c. o. Bradshaw, general
manager Of the C.. M. & St. P. rail-
road at Seattle.

man office the first of the week fifty
