FLYERS LOOK OVER FIELD

Representatives of the Varney Air
plane company were in Pasco last
week inspecting the landing field and
familariziag themselves with local
conditions. The company expects to
have everything in readiness to be-
gin service in carrying air mail be-
tween Pasco and Elko, Nevada, on
April LIST.
Company headquarters will be es-
tab,ished at Boise, Idaho, where the
ships will be changed. Two pilots
will live in Pasco and two in Elko.
A flyer will leave Pasco in the morn
ing and fly through to Boise where
he will change ships and proceed to
Elko. Thus four ships Will be flying
every day and two held N reserve.
The planes to be used are the
Swallow type of 100 horse power and
capacity of 400 pounds. Machines
used on the transcontinental line are
400 horse power but have the same
load capacity. The scheduled speed
on the Pascc-Elko route will be 90
niles per hour. Passengers will not
be carried, the present insurance
rates being too high to make it profit
able, altho this service may be put or
later. It is also expected that express
vii! be carried after the mail service
is established.

FLORIDA CLIMATE
COMES TO WASHINGTON

After one of the longest periods of
continuous cloudy weather ever ex-
pe.ienced in this district, the sun
broke through last Friday and has
been shining with more or less fire.
quency during the past week. The
change has made the days little
more balrny but has made it decidedly
cooler at nights.
Without doubt, the winter so far
has been one of the mildest in the
history of the valley. There have been
three or four hurries of snow but it
never remained on the ground over
a few hours. Fields have kept green
all winter and numerous garden fans
report blooming flowers out of doors.
Snap dragon, pansies, violets nd
marigolds are still blooming and
nearly every flower garden has more
of spring-like than fall or winter
like appearance.
Growers are little uneasy over the
mild winter. They fear that the de-
layed cold weather may suddenly de-
scend along about blossoming time
next spring and play havoc with the
fruit crop. This, however, may or
may not happen. There have been as
many frosty springs following hard
winters as there have been following
the mild ones. 1t will probably mean,
though, that there will be more or
chard heaters used this year than ever
before The results obtained here
last year with the heaters have pretty
thoroughly established their worth
and more and more will be used as
time goes on.

SELL ON MERIT

Standardizing high grade Of what
ever product is produced and selling
it through advertising strictly on its
merits, was urged in the many papers
and talks given at the first days pro-
ceedings of the two-day farm market
ing conference that was held under
the auspices of the County Farm
Bureau of Yakima, the Chamber of
Commerce and the Pomona Oranges
at Yakima last week.
H. B. Creel, secretary of the farm
bureau, said the purpose Of the meet
ing was to find out what is lacking in
lrohtably disposing Of the products
of the farm. He instanced want of
knowledge on the part of the buying
public, harmony and cooperation
among the growers of different prod
ucts, and lack of full understanding
on the part of all regarding compel
ing commodities and the reasons for
the high cost to the ultimate con-
sumner.
Late in the afternoon, when
fruit was en- the program, unanimous
vote was given to an advertising pro-
gram outlined by Earl J. Barnes,
state director of agriculture.
Shipping Of fourth-gradc apples
came in for strong condemnation by
all fruit men present and after much
discussion it was left to committee
headed by c. L. Twohy to report
some definite proposal to the confer
ence TODAY.

NEW RADIO SERVICE

The vast fund of popular and sci
entifc agricultural information that
originates on the farms and in the
laboratories of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture will coon be
tapped in a new place. This is the
announcement made by Sam Pickard,
chief of the newly created radio ser
vice in the department. Steps will be
taken Immediately, he said, to furnish
variety of agricultural program ma
ter:al to commercial broadcastlng
stations serving farmer audiences.
Much of the material furnished by
the radio service will be prepared for
presentation in a radically different
manner than the present almost uni
versal practice of reading manuscripts.
Broadcasting stations cooperating will
be asked to provide personalities who
have unmistakable qualifications to
voice the information and material
which in most cases will be presented
in popular style and in the form of
dialogue or questions and answers.
| "Uncle Bert" the garden expert,
one of Mr.. Pickard's phantom char
acters, will entertain and instruct the
boys and girls of the Radio Order of
Junior Gardeners with natur,e-study
information. Some of the Juniors
themselves will be heard over the
radio as they ask questions of Uncle
Ber:.
FIFTY Farm Flashes" will soon be
offered as a regular feature on the air.
The Clashes" will consist of interesting
current information sought by farmers
through the several thousand letters
received each week by the department.
Other special feature programs are
under consideration, among which are
the "Housekeeper's Half-hour," and
the National Farm School" In the
latter the farm will be considered as
the students laboratory. Timely lee
ture COURSES which dovetail with the
daily farm work will be developed,
and laboratory assignments will be
made which necessitate putting into
practice the sub;ecs matter taught.
These will be supplemented with a
file of bulletins dealing with the sub
iect matter broadcast.

new Law ELIMINATES
THREE COUNTY OFFICES

House bill number FOG, providing for
consolidation of offices in certain class
counties which passed the last session
of the legislature has received the ap-
rroval of Governor Hartley and so be-
comes law This bill effects Benton
county and eliminated four elective Of
fees by the consolidation. The office
of coroner is combined with that of
prosecuting attorney; the office of as
SCISSOR is combined with that of trea-
surer; the office of auditor is combined
with that of clerk and the office of en-
gineer is abolished as an elective office
and will be filled by appointment by
the county commissioners.
This bill was made possible by the
adoption at the last election of con-
stitutional amendment giving the leg
islature authority to enact legislation
providing for the consolidation of Of
fees and is evidently in line with the
wishes Of large majority of the voters
of Benton county as the vote on this
amendment in the county was 1882 for
to 1867 against. The bill was prompted
would make for more economical adj
ministration of county affairs. The
change will do away with the salary
by the thought that consolidation
now being paid the elective head of the
Offices eliminated and should result in
saving but whether it will prove out
in operation remains to be seen. 1t
will become effective January l, 1927
following the next election.
Plans for Benton county's new court
house, cut of which appeared in this
paper in recent issue, have been held
in allegiance since the introduction Of
this bill in the legislature pending its
final determination. It will now be
possible to proceed with The pllns and
design and interior arrangement of the
building that will be suited to the needs
of the county under the changes that
have been made. The Commissioners
were in consultation with the architect
Tuesday and the final arrangement of
the building was decided upon and as
soon as the plans and specifications are
completed bids will be asked for its
construction.

WOMAN'S CLUB NOTES
Bu Mrs. M. s. Meeks


The Woman's Club held its regular
meeting on Wednesday, January 18Th,
at the home Of Mrs. w j. Kincaid.
There WAS good attendance and three
new members joined the club that day.
The topic, Changes in the Senate
Rules by Charles G. Dawes" was re-
viewed by Mrs. Alex. Parke. She
brought out the fact that the one
third minority may block the two
thirds majority of the u. s. senate by
prolonged debate. 1t is Mr.. Dawes
plan to place time limit on debate,
being fair TO both sides, then close or
adjourn. Whether Mr.. Dawes makes
much change will rest with the senate
rules committee.
Mrs. Dale D. Atwood clearly outlin-
ed the work done by the Macmillan
Expedition in the artic region this
last summer. Never was there time
in the history of exploration when {,
group of men went forth SO well
equipped for research in the northland.
They had ships, airplanes, radio and
carrier pigeons to assist in their work.
We may look for much good to come
from this expedition.

LOCAL Boy INVENTOR

The invention of a fruit packers
glove may make former White
Bluffs boy, Vernon Zerwekh, famous.
The new glove has the first two fin
gers OF the right hand rubberized.
Heretofore packers using canvas
gloves, cut off the first two fingers
and used rubber finger stalls. The
patent has been applied for and YER
non writes his father, David Zerwekh,
that he expects the patent to be is
sued in the near future.
One of the largest glove manu-
facturers in the United States, YER
non says, has written him asking for
permission to make the gloves and
inquiring what royalty he would ask.
The territory east of the Mississippi
river was promised them in his reply,
Vernon sad, hut he wants to reserve
western territory for himself.
Vernon is now located in Seattle
but expects to go to California in the
near future to interest the packers OF
lemons and oranges in his new glove.
He also has another invention that he
wants to perfect and intends to use
the profits from his new glove to put
this invention on the market.

A visit here last Saturday of State
Highway Patrolman Floyd Luce of
Yakima with C.. L. MCGEE, deputy
sheriff of Kernewick, created quite
little excitement among automobile
owners who had overlooked getting
their 1926 car licenses Three or four
were reported to have been turned in
by Mr.. Luce at White Bluffs and a
like number at Hanford. Also there
has been a noticeable increase in the
demand for application blanks for car
licenses since Mr.. Luce's visit. Mr..
Luce said he plans to make another
visit here in about two weeks when
he will make more thorough in
