BRIGGS TAKES
ON FRUIT JOB
Appointed as Fruit Inspec-
tor for East End of
the County

R. H. Briggs was appointed yes
terday as fruit inspector for the Ken
newick and Richland districts and
will start on his new work in the
near future. Many local people as
well as the state officials with the
inspection work, have been urging
him to consider the position for the
past six months or so.
E. E. Hill. district fruit inspector,
says that Briggs is highly qualified
for the work. He has had a lot of
practical experience locally which
gives him a decided advantage. He
was inspector, packing foreman and
house manager for the Skookum peo-
pie and he has demonstrated his
ability to grow good fruit on his own
land and on the number of tracts
which have been under his supervi-
sion.
Anyone wishing any information
on spraying OR any orchard problem
call Mr.. Briggs GIL.

BABY CLINIC is
HOWLING SUCCESS
Two Hundred Riddles Given Physical
Examination by Baby
Specialists

The baby clinic has been in full
swing yesterday and today in the par
lors Of the M. E. church. Two hum
dred children of pre-school age were
enrolled thruout the town and sur
rounding territory. Miss Frances
Harkus, Benton county nurse, Miss

ters are in charge, assisted by men,
bers Of the Woman's club. DR.. P. d.

kane, are making the examinations,
assisted by the local doctors. The
clinic is given under the auspices of
the anti-tuberculosis association, the
state extension service and the Ken
newick Woman's club. 1t is bowling
success too, judging from the sounds
one hears passing by, or maybe those
are the lung tests in progress.

NO CHANGE IN
GRASS PACK
Conference Held Here Yes
terday on Asparagus
and Cherries

A grade and pack conference was
held yesterday on asparagus and
cherries by federal, state and county
officials and attended by growers
from all over the district. No changes
were made in the tentative rules
adopted at the preliminary meeting
held two weeks ago. At that time it
was agreed to adopt as a whole, the
United States standard on all pro-
ducts.
A similar conference was held in
Pasco Tuesday for the cantaloupes
and the standard left unchanged in
that case also, but adding the Cali
fornia sugar test for ripeness. The

TRY HEATING
FOR BERRIES
Seven Acres Have Heaters
Cook Gives Figures
on Acreage

The Kennewick section of the Ben
ton county fruit frost district in
.cludes all of the fruit planting in the
eastern end of the district in the Vi
cinity of Richland, Vista, Kennewick,
Hedges and Finley. In the section
there are 28OO acres of apples, 43O
acres Of pears, 305 acres of peaches,
215 acres of cherries, 80 acres OF
prunes, about 20 acres Of other va
rieties Of tree fruits and 100 acres
of strawberries, making a total OF
1860 acres of fruit. 116O of this is
soft fruit, according to Albert Cooks
report.
Heating apparatus for protection
from frost has been installed by 1O2
growers on 406.5 acres; 81 growers
are heating 1915 acres of cherries;
~ growers are heating ia acres Of
apples; "a growers are heating 72.5
acres of peaches and apricots; 18
growers are heating 60 acres of pears
and II growers are heating II acres
OF prunes. Four growers have equip
ped seven acres of strawberries as
an experiment.. @
There are only 10 per cent of the
total paintings under heaters. How
ever, about forty per cent of the soft
.rult paintings have some form of
Irost protection. With such large
percentage of soft fruit under heat
ers, this section will never again loose
soft fruit crop from spring frosts.
Inc growers have learned that frost
protection apparatus is necessary
and vital pat of orchard manage
ment. Frost pr lection not only saves
ene crop, but tends to stabalize the
output of fruit.
brlquet and oil heaters are used
ABOUT equally. Some growers are US
ing both kinds in the same grove.

BABY RIDES
REAL BICYCLE
Virginia Smith, % Months
Old Can't Beat Mother
Who Rode at 18

Little Virginia Smith, daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. E. C.. Smith of this
city can now lay claim to being the
smallest and youngest bicycle rider
in the United States, we believe. Vir-
ginia is twenty-five months old, YET
she rides tiny, specially built bi.
cycle, the frame of which is but
twelve inches high and the wheels
the same size.
And she rides, too-helter skelter
lickety brindle. Coming down the
street this morning she made her dad
just leg it to keep up with her. Cute
as could be, curly-headed, eyes a.
sparkle and little feet flying.
But little Miss Virginia hasn't any
thing on her mother. At the age OF
eighteen months, Mrs. Smith was rid
ing this same little bicycle, built es-
pecially for her. Gold medals now in
her possession were awarded years
ago for being the youngest rider ir
the world and her title has never yet
been challenged.

TANK TRUCK
TRIES TO FLY
Couldn't Make it and Lands
Upside Down with Motor
Still Running

Noel Mackerness, who drives one
of the Union Oil company tank trucks
had narrow escape this week from
a serious accident. Skidding On the
loose gravel the truck slid off the
bank and landed in the ditch as near
lv upside down as it would stay. Mr..
Mackerness suffered minor injuries
and the truck has smashed cab and
some of the fittings broken.
sThat truck simply would not fly"
said Mr.. Mackerness, "altho it had
all four wheels off the ground in the
attempt. When I came to the motor
was idling along as nice as you
please. as nearly upside down as the
truck could balance"

OPEN DRIVE FOR
HIGHLINE UNITS
Local Men Think Kennewick
Project Stands a Good
Chance

That the Kennewick unit Of the
Yakima project stands an excellent
chance of becoming the next on the
federal program of reclamation is the
word brought by M. M. Moulton from
the recent meeting of irrigationists
in Yakima. The formation of an irri-
cation association for the valley
which would unite the various units,
was direct result of the meeting.
At the meeting held in Yakima
on the 7th of this month, represen-
tatives of the four unfinished divi-
sions, met for the purpose of consid-
ering the organization of Yakima
Valley Reclamation association. At
ter considerable discussion it was
thought best to hold later meeting
and motion was passed recommend
ing the appointment of one repre-
sentative by each district, to meet in
the near future at Yakima with the
secretary Of the Yakima Chamber Of
Commerce, for the purpose of perfect
ing the organization.
1t is believed that an association
can be organized in this manner and
when it is completed its main purpose
will be to promote in every way pos
sible the interests of the entire Yaki-
ma project, leaving each unit free
to adopt whatever methods it may
choose for the advancement of its
own interests.
No action was taken looking to-
ward the selection Of any individual
unit for construction in advance of
the others, but the thot was freely
expressed by nearly all present that
the Kennewick unit had very great
advantage over the remaining units,
owing to the fact that it has con-
siderable area of land already settled
and especially because neither of the
other units can be constructed with
out further storage, while the Kenne-
wick unit is ready for construction
and does not depend upon storage at
ALL
The meeting was attended by Mr..
Rudkin, Mr.. Hudnall, Mr.. Vickers
and Mr.. Moulton. representing the
Kennewick district, who returned
very much encouraged with the thot
that all circumstances considered the
local district is certain to be the next
one taken up for construction in the
event that it is impossible to secure
funds to undertake the construction
Of the whole project at one time.
