MANY ATTEND
BIG Y MEETING

The second of a series of meetings
held by the Big "Y' at their ware
house at Kennewick took place last
Friday evening. An unusual interest
is being manifested indicating that
the fruit growers are interested IN
securing information as to how to In
crease both the production and the
quality of their fruit. Ninety four or
chardists were present and listened
to the facts that were presented.
Manager Desgranges had worked
out in great detail the results of the
past yeaer's crop and has condensed
the information to bring it down to
an understandable size, showing the
product and the money value OF the
various varieties per tree. With full
understanding of just what the con-
ditions are it is hoped that plans can
be worked out that will prove OF
great value to the industry. When
the true conditions are once under
stood-not guess work but actual
facts-there will be basis to work
from. These meetings will be held
at frequent intervals until the busy
season opens and the best possible
information how to overcome some
Of our short comings will be present
ed. The information as to orchard
practices and the results obtained will
be given by actual, dirt farmers who
have actually accomplished something
under the actual conditions under
which we are working.
The principle speaker of the eve
ming was Ralph Sunquest of the
Naches district, a large and success
full orchardist who has had many OF
the problems to overcome that are
troubling our growers. He presented
charts showing the results obtained
on six orchards in that district and
what the increase in size and grade
means to the grower. He went into
detail as to the orchard practices and
strongly urged the opening up of the
trees by removal, where possible, OF
large limbs from the trees rather
than thinning out the small brush. He
strongly urged the use of subscribers
for the orchards in this district. The
breaking up of the subsoil some eight
feet away from the trees he believes
would be of great value to our or
chards. The cutting of a few roots
benefits, rather than harms, the trees.
Attention was also given to thinning
and spraying.
Cherries were given some attention
but as Mr.. Bowles of Prosser was not
nreSent and is TO he at tho HIGHLANDS
club house on February 3rd, the full
consideration of this subject was de-
ferred until then. An all day session
will be held at the club house on that
date and an excellent program has
been arranged by Mr.. Hill, the coun-
ty horticultural Inspector. Competent
speakers will be present and the or
chard problems will be covered in
their entirely. Every fruit grower,
no matter how busy he is, can well
afford to take the day off and attend
this meeting.

n learning to swim the beginner

IN learning to swim the beginner
should look for favorable condi-
tions. A pool waist deep and
warm water impart feeling of Sc
curity and comfort. A feeling Of Sc
curity is the most important factor
in a swimming education.
Get into a pool about waist deep
with your back to wall. Lean for.
ward until your head Is In the water
and stretch your hands out in the
water with your finger tips sticking
out way ahead. Remain standing ON
one foot. while you place the other
against the wall of the pool. Then
take a deep breath and shove off.
This shove off gives YOU starting
momentum that enables you to float
easier. Floating depends entirely on
the sense OF security. Any one that
lies face downward in the water with
arms and legs stretched out will float.
Likewise. any one can remain afloat
and swim as long as they hold their
breath. however short that may be.
OF course. one could not be expected
to spend An afternoon holding his
breath because he wanted to swim,
but this Is to develop a sense Of Sc.
curity and confidence. After one learns
TO swim he feels the same way about
1t he did after he learned TO ride hi
