CALL ATTEN-
TION TO STATE
Washington Week is Set
for Feb. 20-27 - Unite
on Special Features

With the splendid record for
achievement during Washington
Week last November, members of
the Washington Press Association
and cooperating agencies have set
a higher mark for accomplishment
in the next period set aside to
stress the necessity and opportun-
ity for state development.
Washington Week this year will
be February 20-27-W Washington's
birthday week. These dates were
selected that the residents of this
state in their efforts to promote
interest in material. development,
might also have the inspiration for
effort on behalf of civic, cultural
and spiritual interest exemplified
in the life of George Washington.
Reports of activities in connec-
ton with the observance of Wash
ington Week last November indi-
cate that it was much more of a
success than its most optimistic
promoters hoped for. Newspapers
all over the state carried reports
of activities which fostered unity
of purpose in advancing the well
fare of the state. Communities
which had not been able to get
together on any issue for years,
united in the effort to make Wash
ington the great state it may be.
Merchants carried window displays
thru the weeks emphasizing the
varied resources of the state.
There were community dinners at
which nothing but Washington
products were served. The schools
also participated and in many in
stances churches took the lead In
pointing out the states great pos
sibilities.
plans for this years observance
of Washington Week include these
activities on a larger scale and a
broadening of the state develop
ment program generally. Partic-
Mar attention will be given to fos-
tering a spirit of state unity and
to encourage cooperative effort on
the part of all agencies for state
welfare.
The Washington State Chamber
of Commerce, Manufacturers As
sociation of Washington local
commercial, civic and service or
ganizations and other agencies are
cooperating with the Washington
Press association in an effort to
reach this objective.

BIG Y GROWERS
HOLD MEETING
Large Number of Grow
ers Hear of Activities
of Association

The annual district meeting of
the Yakima Fruit Growers asso-
citation, was held at the CONNER
cial club rooms Wednesday eve-
ming. President H. P. James,
General Manager j. w. Hebert
and Field Manager Curtis Aller
were present and gave in some de-
tail the operations of the associa-
tion for the past year, which from
a tonnage standpoint has been the
heaviest in the history of the or
ganization. More than 5000 cars
were handled and every district
operated to the capacity of their
equipment while many thousands
of boxes offered at harvest time
could not be taken care of and
had to be refused. Confidence in
the association has increased thru
out the valley and it is no longer
a question of soliciting tonnage
but rather one of providing facili-
ties to handle the tonnage offered.
The year has been of large and
difficult problems to solve. The
burning of the Zillah cold storage
at harvest time complicated mat
ters somewhat but everything has
been handled without entailing any
considerable loss. The rebuilding
of the Zillah plant in now under
way and 200-car cold storage
plant in being built at Gleede. The
financial standing of the associa-
tion is gilt edge as indicated by
the sale of six per cent bonds for
the financing of the building op-
erations.
Manager Hebert covered the
marketing problems from aspara-
gus to apples; dwelt at some
length on the difficulties encount-
cred. to comply with the govern
ment regulation for cleaning ap-
pies and the probable future ac-
tion that will be necessary. Not
withstanding that the cost of
packing has been greatly increas-
ed because of the necessity Of
wiping pears and apples the as
soclation by reason of its superior
equipment and experienced crews,
mas been able to perform this ser
vice without the necessity of in
creaslng its charges originally
flxed in its budget. The associa-
tion handled 45 per cent of the
black cherries shipped out of tbe
Yakima valley the past season and
returned from two to four cents
a pound more than other shippers
The Grandview pool, which has ali.
ways been a factor in the cherry
market, has just signed with the
association for this year. With
other large cherry interests apply
ing the association will be the
heaviest cherry shipper out of the
Northwest. The mixed car busi-
ness has been increased and is
proving profitable to the growers.
Mr.. Hebert reported the apple
market as strengthening with
prospects of advanced prices.
Mr.. Hebert predicted better
times for the fruit grower in the
immediate future and urged all
not to become too discouraged over
present conditions but put forth
every effort to produce quality

LONDON.--In her tiny ID. H. Moth
kirplane, piloted by Capt. C. B. Bar
hard, the 62-year-old Duchess of Bed
lord has completed trip of 5000 miles
ln eight days, having visited Paris,
bijon, Lyon, Turin, Venice, The Lido

The Riviera.
1.-THE most impressive incident of
bur trip was when we passed within
30 feet of the seething crater of Mount
Eesuvius, "the duchess said. 1--WE also
basged over the forest fires on the
Riviera. For hundreds of miles all we
kould see was flame and dense black
inoke that forced Capt. Barnard to
hke the machine up to 5000 feet.
1.-THE most thrilling part of our
Journey was when we were between
cannes and Toulon. Suddenly, the
blame ran into violent whirlwind."
