SETTLEMENT NEGOTIATIONS
ARE AT STANDS1ILL

Nothing new developed at the con-
ference Sunday in Yakima between the
Hanford water right owners COM
mittee and Attorney Carol B. Graves.
Due to several causes, negotiations for
settlement are at stand still. The
receivership sale Of the Milwaukee
railroad is set for November % and
pending that sale and the order con-
firning it, railroad officials are inter
esting. themselves only in matters of
direct concern to the road. When the
r:ceiveresh,p is cleaned up it is ex-
pected that some help may be expect
ed from that source. The appeal
from the Webster decree has not yet
been decided. The outcome of that
case will also have an influence on the
settlement.
The trial of the case filed by the
water right owners against the Con-
sumers Ditch company and the Black
Rock company to determine the ques-
tions not decided .in the Circuit Court
and which was set for trial on Octo-
Der IL, has by stipulation of the at
torneys. been postponed until next
May. This was done in order to work
OFT settlement plan if such thing
is possible. This Continuance, how
ever, does not prohibit the Black Rock
company and the Consumers Ditch
company from applying for receiv-
er if they should so desire. 1t is ru-
mored that they have such plan in
mind but there is no definite informa-
ton that this is true.
Things should come to head by
the first of the year and it will be
pretty well determined by that time
what may be expected. The main
canal appears to be in better condition
now than ever before but nearly all
of the laterals are in bad shape and
considerable work will have to be done
on them If anything like economical
and satisfactory service is to be given
next season.

In the principal apple regions, prices
started 10%-25% lower this season
and have shown some tendency to
further decline. BY October apples
were selling about ISL below last sea-
sons level and one-third less than the
price two years ago. So far as COM
parisons could be made prices were
somewhat lower in the West for the
came varieties and similar packs. Thus

SHORTAGE NOT SURPLUS
WILL Be FUTURE PROBLEM

Fifteen or twenty years from now
because of increasing population and
decreasing acreage OF cultivated land,
the farmer will be talking shortage
instead of surplus and agricultu-ally
trained boys and girls will reap the
benefits. Dean E. c. Johnson of
Washington State College declared
this spring.
Agricultural education does not
teach boys and girls merely how to
plant and hoe a hill of BEANS" he
said. ut has the same basis in sci
ence, English and languages as any
education, but it has also added SUBJ
Jects that teach the underlying prin--
ciples of agriculture Its four fold
objects are: One, irnparting a broad
general education; two,. a. prepare
ton tor the agricultural profession;
three, preparation for leadership and
TOUR, service to society.
Analysing the profession, he show
ed the difference between the
American business type OF farming
and the pleasant type, including a
consideration of several angles OF
farming aside from the raising OF
produce.
THE marketing of $65,o00, 900
worth OF Washington produce dur
ing the past year has required the
services of men having both agricul-
tural and business ability" he said.
Banks must have their interests
guarded intelligently. The feed bust
ness, handling seed, real estate, and
farm machinery are all businesses
whose success depends on agricul-
tural foundations.
The farmers returns in cash spoke
for themselves with the class when
the deans figures showed that dur
ing 1920-f923, the upper fifth of the
farmers of the northwest made an
average interest of per cent, on
an investment of $4,000 and in adj
dition cleared for work and man
aging ability, $1,000, had the rent OF
a home and between four and tive
hundred dollars worth OF food for
the table. The second one-ffth made
S per cent on 1900, with an addi--
ton of $512 for labor, lived in house
worth tour or five hundred dollars
and had an additional $500 worth OF
TODD. - . s
Comparing this with 100 business
men who started during that period,
he showed IS per cent failed, 20 per
cent hanging. by the eyebrows and
10 DER cent success.
eve expect our trained boys to be
among these upper ffths, provided
they have grit and ability to make
good" said he, "and in making COM
parsons between their successes and
those of business people in town they
have no right to point to the tremen-
dous successes only. The average
farmer must compare with the aver
age city man and to be honest one
can point out successful farmer to
counte balance every successful bust
ness man"

According to an associated press
dispatch, ]. I. Griner, supervisor of
horticulture, has asked the federal
board at Washington, D. c. to send
a specialist to this state to study
and devise methods of control of the
brown scale that is said to have made
its appearance in Seattle and in the
Yakima valley. The pest appeared
in Vancouver, B. c., in 1924, but was
no: observed in the state of Wash
ington until last year and the situa-
ton has not been regarded as serious
until last year.
The scale attacks 20 kinds of trees
and is thereforet2a serious pest. Mr.,
Griner says he believes it can be con-
trolled by oil sprays.

GARDEN CHAT

The most persistent pest in the
garden is the plant louise or aphis
You can't start after them too early
for they live all winter and stand be-
low zero weather, ready to thaw out
and start action with the first breath
of spring. Clean up all dead stalks
of plants known to have been infested
last summer and burn them.
Although the most prevalent, plant
lice are most easily controlled, and
there is no good excuse for having
them in quantity. If you have them
at all you will have them wholesale.
Nicotine compounds in the form Of
spray or dust are sure death to these
intruders. A spray is necessary and
tobacco tea made from cheap cigars
or cigar clippings is effective. Nico-
tine in commercial forms, of which
black leaf 40 is a standard, is con-
venient form, small portion mixed
with water according to directions
Staying lice wholesale.
There are some 200 odd different
kinds of plant lice ranging in color
from the common green to black
IiUOuSH ISQS dIlu UlOWuS. dSA lie
history is interesting. Female aph-
ides hatch in spring from eggs laid
in autumn Some females hold over
and lay new crop in the spring. 7
These spring matches are females
without wings which soon mature
and give birth to females like them
selves instead of eggs. They all soon
grow up and produce generation after
generation.
Then comes strange change late
in the season. A generation of wing
ed aphides appear. Earlier in the
year they are wingless and can't
move far. The winged lot proceed
to distribute themselves to other
feeding grounds and raise new tribes.
Late in the fall a final generation
of small males and females appear
and this generation lays the eggs to
hatch in spring and some of them live
over winter if they haven't complet-
ed their task.
AT the first sign of plant louise get
out the spray gun and the tobacco
compound. Stop them in their tracks.
for the rabbit is as nothing from a
breeding standpoint compared with
the aphis.
