OPPORTUNITIES in
Farm Education

Bankers. business men ana lead-
ing farmers are all demanding that
we have more agricultural education
in the rural schools and high
schools Of this state" declares II. l.
Walster. dean Of the school Of
agriculture at the North Dakota
Agricultural college. This means
vocational education in the high
schools and rural schools.
"Under the state law, the North
Dakota Agricultural college has been
designated as the institution receiv-
ing the Smith Hughes funds for the
training Of teachers in vocational
agriculture. The school Of agricul-
ture Of the Agricultural college has
set up a special curriculum in agricul-
tural education specially designed to
train for this type Of teaching.
1.-THE great demand for adequately
trained teachers has forced the high
schools Of this state to go outside
the state for many Of their teachers
Although many splendid young men
have been brought into the state in
this way, and it is hoped that many
of them will stay with US, yet if
the young men Of this state would
really awaken to the opportunity be-
fore them more North Dakotans
would be getting the training in their
own state which would equip them
for this kind Of service.
"The Smith Hughes course in
agriculture in the high schools is
the greatest connecting link be-
tween the agricultural college and
the ambitious young man ON the
farm that has ever been established.
The time is not far distant when
all of the hundreds of high schools
in the state will feel that they are
falling far short of their possible
service to their communities unless
they provide for a. four-year course
IL agriculture in the high school"

SAYS APPLE PROSPECTS GOOD

II am confident the future of the
apple industry in the state of Wash
irgton is bright despite the shaking
up which I bslieve is having bene-
fic;al effect said 7. I. Grincr, state
horticultural inspector, speaking last
Saturday evening to the Yakima Po-
mona Grange held at Selah, as re-
ported in the Yakima Herald.
"There has been in the past fruit
put on the eastern market which was
not clean or attractive and which we,
ourselves, would not buy. The wiping
and cleaning of the fruit, which we
have been obliged to do this season
we are likely to continue. That will
result in a market advantage for north
western fruit"
Mr.. Griner reported that all of the
Winesars in Idaho have been des-
troyed and large part of the same
variety in. Oregon. The northwert
will take loss of 10000 cars of ap-
pies, he estimated. He expressed the
belief that there would be an ,nl-
provement in the market in the near
future.
So far. he said, no substitute has
been discovered for arsenate of lead
as a spray for codling moth. He in
timated that next year early cleanup
of the orchards will be stressed by
his department.

H. S. Kneeland and Robert Haw-

located the gas wells in the Rattle
snake Hills in Benton County for
Mrs. Henry D. James, one of the
principal stockholders of the Walla

The origional lease was taken out
in 1918 and the present renewal allows
the company to accept contracts for
the. furnishing of gas to Kennewick
and Pasco.
1t is said that two. new drilling rigs
have just been shipped into the Ben

WILL They BUILD IT
OR WON'T they?

Although the temporary permit of
the Washington Irrigation & Devel-
opement company for the construction
of the Priest Rapids dam expires the
first of next March, there is nothing
being done SO far at the site to indi-
cate that the company intends to be-
there are persistent rumors afloat that
all is not running smoothly in the af
fairs of the company and that an ex-
tension will be asked from the Water
Power Leasing board when the old
permit expires. Still, there also seem
to be rumors in the air that the con-
struction Of the dam is imminent, as
witness the following news item taken
from last weeks Sunnyside Sun:
Periodically we seem to hear about
work being started on the big Priest
Rapids project. In April, 1925, the
Pacific Power & Light company built
transformer at Hanford with cap
acity exceeding 10000 K. w., or suf-
$4,000. 1t was surmised at that time
that the work was being rushed in or
der to be prepared for the construction
work on the big dam where the act
ual needs for electric excavators, con-
crete mixers, dump cars, ETC., will at
times be 10000 horse power, or much
in excess of the present plant at Priest
Rapids.
Now we hear from reliable sources,
that work will be started before the
lease expires in March, 1927. The
four principal cities of the Northwest,
Seattle, Portland, Tacoma and Spo-
kane, having an aggregate population
of 100000, are, as the crow flies,
about $50 miles distant from Priest
Rapids.
Practically none of the great sta
pies are now manufactured on the
Pacific coast. Not ton Of pig iron
is made here though 100000 tons of
finished iron and steel products were
used there during the last year. All
the ingredients for glass making exist
few miles from Priest Rapids. The
projectors of the power project own
a lime stone deposit of which it is
estimated 10 million tons are in sight.
1t is estimated that the consumption
of glass in Washington and Oregon
alone, exclusive of window and plate
glass, is 1000 carloads annually, all of
which is shipped in from the east.

Sheriff James Shepherd came
over from Prosser Wednesday and
placed under arrest John Perry of
White Bluffs and Joe Destefano

for the illegal possession Of intox-
icating liquor. All three are Ital-
ians. Perry lives on the Fitzgib-
bons ranch at White Bluffs and
Destefano on the Harold Evett
place at Hanford. Nearly 100 gal
Ions were seized by the sheriff and
taken to Prosser. At the hearing
in Prosser Thursday, the three de-
PENDANTS were found guilty and
each of them fined $3.50 and costs
and given q thirty day jail sem

NEW BRIDGES PLANNED

With the contractors erecting steel
on the Vantage Ferry bridge, high
way engineers have begun preparing
plans for the structure that will span
the Columbia River at Kettle Falls,
which probably will be the next of the
East Side bridges to be thrown across
the Mighty Oregon" If the legis-
laturc agrees the Kettle Falls bridge
will be built during the next bi.n-
MUM.
Two other bridges on the highway
program are those to cross the Column
bia at Chelan Falls and at Clark's
Ferry, just north of Wilbur. The tra-
vel on State Road No. does not re-
quire early work on the bridge at
Clark's Ferry but the construction of
hydro electric plant at Lake Chclan
and the development of the Okano-
gan country and the part Of Douglas
county nearest Wenatchce coupled
with the desire to avoid the dangers
of Knapps Hill, are strong reasons
for early construction Of the Cheian
balls bridge.

WILL LEASE PIPE LINES
FROM TOWNSITE co.

At the meeting in Liberty hall Mon
day evening the stockholders of the
White Bluffs Water Works approved
the three year lease offered by the
townsite company, of the distributing
system of the latter in White Bluffs
and the directors of the Water Works
were authorized to sign the lease.
The lease runs for period of three
years from July /, 1926 and carries an
annual rental of $10O.
The well, pump, motor and such ex-
tensions as have been put in during
the last four years, belong to the Wa
ter Works, willie all of the water sys.
tenn installed before that time is the
property of the townsite company.
The treasurer's report showed all
bills paid and cash reserve on hand
of over $1,000. The report also showed
that all of the stock had been paid
for excepting $50. With the surplus
on hand the matter of readjusting the
water rates was discussed and the dir
ectors will attempt to work out, such
a plan before the first of the year.
In doing this the directors will try to
fix the rate on the basis of the amount
of water used. In the absence of me-
ters this plan can not be worked out
perfectly, but it is thought that a
fairly accurate estimate can be made.
More fire hydrants may also be in
stalled.
The stockholders elected the follow
ing board of directors WHO will serve
during the ensuing year: D. S. Will
kinson, Bert Shanahan and E. ].
O'Larey. The board organized by the
election of Mr.. Wilkinson as chairman
and Mr.. -Shanahan as secretary-treas-
