LONDON, February 24.-While it

HEATS sTRAWsERRy BED

That wasted heat on farms might
readily be turned to good account by
warming up TIE soil for the product
ton of early vegetables is the asser-
tion of Nelson Medbery of Yakima
says the Yakima Herald.
This spring Mr.. Medbery con-
structed of odds and ends small
furnace and led the smoke through
pipes underground. The warming OF
the soil accomplished in this way
brought on vegetables and straw
berries two to three weeks earlier
than otherwise.
Scraps of fuel that otherwise would
lave been waste were used. He had
strawberries ripe May l and greer
peas May 10. These results were
secured without any effort at the
selection CT carly varieties.
1t is Mr.. Medbery's idea that ever
the heat from kitchen stove would
warm several square rods for the
production Of early vegetables. Ar
electric fan, of course, would have
to be used to force the smoke and
warm air through the hues in the
ground.
These flues should preferably be oi
brick in order to permit the smoke
to come in contact with soil for it is
believed that the smoke contains
fertilizer elements.
Weeds and brush, which arc burn
ed to get rid of them could be burned
in an inexpensive furnace and the

vegetables for the table, Mr.. Medbery

FEW WORMS THIS YEAR

Cool weather during the last three
weeks has prevented the codling moth
from dspositing her eggs in a normal
manner, according to R. L. Webster,
cn4omologist at Washington State
College, and accordng this pest of
thes o-chardist may not be so pre-
vslent as in past seasons. Many OF the
moths have emerged, but comparative
ly few eggs Lave b.en found on foliage
or fruits.
These facts are indicated by obser-
vation in tine experimental orchard at
Pullman, and are corroborated by
other observations made in the Wen
atchee district by Anthony Spuler de-
tailed to Wenatchee for the summer
by Washington Experiment Station.

ALL BENTON COUNTY TO
CELEBRATE 4TH AT PROSSER

The corner stone of Benton county's
new court house in Prosser will be
laid on Monday, July S, and White
Bluffs and the other communities in
the county have been invited to- at
tend in a body. The corner stone
laying, while occupying an important
place on the program, is only one Of
the features in a day full of action and
entertainment being planned by the
county seat folks.
County Treasurer Malcolm Nc
Dougal and Postmaster w. c. Som
mers, members of the Prosser Com
munity Club, attended a meeting of
the White Bluffs Community Club
on Tuesday evening and gave ten
tative outline of the program for the
day and extended a cordial invitation
through the local club to the residents
of this part of county to attend the
celebration.
Each town in the county is being
asked to write its history up to date
and these documents will be herne-
tically sealed in the corner stone and
will make interesting reading so or
100 years hence, when it is found nee
essary to enlarge the size of the court
i house.
The White Bluffs band together with
the Prosser high school band will
furnish the music for the day and the
White Bluffs Club voted to urge every
one here who could attend the cele-
bration Chairman Edmund Anderson,
on motion, appointed F. A. English
as committee of one on transpor-
taticn to sec that every car that goes
over is loaded and that those who
have no way of going may be provided
with trans .oortat on.
The Prcsser visitors promised the
Spokesman a complete program to be
published before July 5th.
! The Club voted to send Chairman
Edmund Anderson and Secretary D. S.
Wilkinson to Yakima on June "a to
26 to attend the meeting of the state
chamber Of commerce and to contri-
butte the $40 membership fee in the
state organization.
Cooperating with the Hanfcrd Com
munity Club it was voted to offer a
reward of $3.50 for the apprehension
of the vandals who have been destroy
ing and disfiguring the road signs on
the roads between this valley and
Yakima.
Mr. Anderson was authorized to ap-
point committee of three to see that
the town history was prepared for
tie Prosser Celebration using such
method in securing an authentic re-
cord as the committee believed would
get the best results.
+ The chairman and secretary of the
club were authorized to sign the en-
dorsement Of plan for oiling the
state highways that are not paved.
Oregon has proved that Cling its un-
paved highways not only has elinain-
ated the dust entirely, but that the
saving in the cost Of maintenance is
much more than the cost of oiling.
The plan has endorsement of the
State Automobilc club and it is con-
sidered boon for eastern Washing
ton, where the paving of the highways
is probably good many years in the
future.
The secretary of the club was auth-
orized to furnish the Forestry Depart
ment with the necessary road data SO
that the next maps prepared by that
department. will show the highways
in this territory.

seven times in the game played at
Othello last Sunday. By scoring four
times in the first inning, the White

errors being charged up to both their
infield and outfield. In striking con-

which handled a number of difficult

THIS VALLEY TO HAVE
LARGE FRUIT CROP

With the frost danger to the fruit
crop past for this season and the fruit
taking on good size, growers in this
valley generally are finding that their
yield on almost every variety of fruit
promises to be much larger than it
did few weeks ago, with the result
that considerable thinning is being
done. The indications now are that
the crop this year for the valley will
eCual if not exceed that of last sea-
con.
Whi.e there districts in the north
west that report a shortage due
to frost OF other causes, the yield
generally promises to be good. With
this situation in sight, the condition
of the eastern crop, especially apples,
is Of interest. So far there has been
little information available on the
earstern crop situation. However, as
sociate press dispatches carried in the
daily papers the latter part of last
week indicate they are having their
frost troubles. On June low tenn
peratures are reported in the north
eastern states. New York on that
day had temperature of 47O7, their
lowest for that date since 1881.
Frost in Rhode Island and Con-
Eecticut were said to have been so Sc
we're that crops in some sections were
injured, and in western Massachusetts,
the ground was white with frost. In
sc,re sections of Connecticut the tenn
psrature dropped below 30 degrees
during the night, and all over the
New England states the. thermometer
registered unseasonably low tempera-
lures.
Whether the recent cold snap dam
aeed the fruit crop in the east or
whether the unusally cod winter in
jured the fruit trees has not yet been
reported

be all kinds Of sports and stunts that
will not give time for one dull minute
during the entire day. Masops, Stars

The big dance at night also will be
free. Leave your money at home.

PEAS LEAD FOR CANNING

Pea is king among the vegetables
Of Washington which find their way
into the canned food markets of the
world. During 1925 the canneries OF
t.:is state packed 168,4o5 cases of peas
which at a conservative average fac
tory value of $500 per case amounted
to $5o5485.
For some years the packers in
Washington have been looking for a
major Gamer among the vegetables
and peas now appear to be it. Peas
were first packed commercially in this
state during the season of 1919 when
so cases only were reported. They
evidently sold well. for the next year
400 cases were canned, then some
thing happened as the number fell
back to 14o cases in 1921, and no
pack at all reported for 1922. In 1923
however, there appears 24,557 cases
which was increased by 300 per cen,
in 1924 with total cf o5,115 cases
The pack for last year was an in
crease again OF more than 70 per cent
over the preceding year.

While most of the cherries we're
picked and shipped from this valley
last week. number of shipments have
been made this week. Edward Her
zer. who recently purchased the w. H.
Webb orchard, got only small por-
ton of his cherry cron off last week
and has had good sized crew busy
this week finishing up. The price,
that ranged around 25 cents per pound
for the first shipments, dropped to Is
cents the latter part of last week and
will probably be lower this week for
these shipped to the Coast.

the manufacture of the gloves and
was meeting with good success in get
ting orders from the warehouses and
stores. The new glove is made Of
cotton flannel with the first finger
rubberized. and retails for only cents
per pair more Than the gloves ordin

SHADE FOR FRUIT

Workmen this week began the
co 1struction of 12x36 ft. shed
on the north side of the depot to
serve as shade for the fruit and
vegetables going out by express.
The floor of the shed will be the
same height as the car floors and
this will not only expedite the
handling of the express shipments
but will minimize the labor in
loading. The improvement will
be welcomed by growers. as the
hot sun in former seasons beating
down on the produce while waiting
for the morning tran. has not
added anything to its value.
