LARGER CHERRIES

With the tonnage of tterries in
creas;ng steadily, and buyers at the
same time becoming more and more
particular as to the size of the fruit
shipped to them, it is necessary to
give attention the coming year to
whatever cultural methods may be
used to get larger cherries, says the
Richland Advocate.
Royal AEnes are sold on the basis
Of IS to the pound to the cafineries.
In ordinary years only small per-
centage of the cherries ran over this
size. Strict enforcement Of this con-
tract 10 not made. This year many
growsrs had a large percentage of
fruit smaller than IS. These lots
were so large and frequsn: that it
was necessary to put them into sep
arate pool; even then they are consid-
cred undesirable by the Gamers.
In the handling of the black cher
ries the Big "Y" will continue for the
coming year the same system followed
the past season, which has been very
favorably received by the trade. One
large buyer announces that hereafter
he will not buy any cherries which
have not been sized. Small blacks
are not only undesirable but with the
growing t-ndency of the trade to de-
mand good average size they will con-
t.nr,c. to sell at heavy discount.
The problem is now to find way
to increa,e the SIZE of the fruit, and
Elihu Bawles of Prosser, who might
be termed the Cherry King" Of the
valley is making valuable experiments
in lis large orchard along this line.
The advanalge of having cherries
thicly clus cred through the tree is
only apparent. Cherries sell by the
pound A small number of large
cherries weigh as much| as a large
number of small cherries. And the
pound of large cherries brings con-
siderably more per pound, while if
the small cherries are too small they
are hardly salable at all.
Cherries weighing IS to rs to the
pound are not large, as Yakima cher
r.es grow. Cherries weighing 100 to
1870 to the pound are too small, and
undesirable from the marketing stand
point.
Sixty-five large cherries on small
branch would not make nearly the
showing that 100 small ones would
but the IS would weigh just as much
and bring more money per pound.

DIVERSIFIED FARMING

Growers of fruit on five and 10
acre tracts, especially those having
apples only, are casting about for
some means Of dive siticat4on. In
years Of nigh prices they do well but
slight their income Is barely snffici-
ent to cover the overhead and the
living expenses, says the Yakima
Herald.
Inis matter has been in the minds
sof many small growers in the past
few months and inquiry is, being re-
ceived at tie county agents office
for suggestions Of how to diversity.
Five or Ten acres Of apples is scarcely
enough to bear the burden of the
equipment necessary to operate an
apple orchard, hence to diversity is a
pr. blem. In recent years the growers
on small acreage who had soft
fruit have Jared we'll as the returns
have been relatively good.
Where the acreage is 40 or more,
the oppcr -unities for diversification
are greater than on the 10-acre tract,
for the owners may glow various
kinds of fruit, apples and soft 1rult,
and is not therefore so likely to be
without adequate returns from at
least Lne or two of the crops.
Poultry keeping is being seriously
cons 'dered by many of the growers
on small tracts as it appears practic-
able to combine poultry with orchard
ing. ALwever, there is the adaptable
ity ct the growers and the necessary
experience to be considered. Some
Will acquire the necessary rudiments
Of successful poultry keeping, while
Others may not succeed.
I'he quest IN arises as to wether
the business would be overdone if
many growers should go into it.
Many VIII find that the NECESSARY at
tcntion and skill required will be be-.
yond them and they will not continue.
As regards finding market for
the product that could possibly be.
solved, tut prob EN- of watery eggs
in summer will mitigate against cas-
ern shipments, at 1aast the expert
ence in the past appears to indicate
that If this problem of watery eggs
in SUNNI could be solved there
SHOULD be no serious difficulty Is
m-rket the eggs.
The Yakima valley already proGuc-
es a suo,us of eggs, and it has been
the placing of the surplus outside Of
the va ley together with the use OF
storage thai has sustained the Yak
ina markTt IN the past two years. 1t
is not improbable that considerably
larger production could be handled,
but if the valley doubles and ter
bles its production without adequate
provision for a market, serious
situation would BE- faced.

TAX PAYERS ATTENTION

During the agitation for new court
house for Benton County the re-
mark was often made, ooh, its impos-
sible to build airy kind of a Court
House for Sloo,OOo0o' or, It's impos-
sible to build Court House that will
be credit to t:ae County for any such
sum-, and again-'Oh well if you start
to build for $1o00OO0O it will run up
10 $125,Oc0. or $l5o,ooo., before you
get through, no public building was
ever put up and completed and the
cost kept within the estimate etc. and
etc,
So at this time. as the Court House
is completed we wish to submit for
your inspection an itenized cost bill
OF construction, and leave it to you
whether or not it's possible to do the
impossible if handled in the proper
way. We have as nearly as possible
a fire proof building constructed en-
tirely of concrete, brick, tile and steel
and all new furniture of steel. BY the
cooperation of all the departments our
expenditure for new equipment was
kept down to the minimum, and by
so doing allowing more to go into
permanent construction. We have on
ly words OF praise and commentator
for the contractor, Ernest White of
Twin Falls, Idaho, and Architect Geo.
M. BASQUE. of Spokane, for their eff
ficient and rainstak;ng methods in
their endeavor to put up building
that they could point to with pride
and not be ashamed to quote the ex-
act cost Of construction;

TEL[EZ. RECALL
IS DENIED

The hurried departure of the
Mexican ambassador, Senior Don
Manuel Teller added another link
today to the mystifying chain of
developments forged in the Next
can situation this week.
Senior Teller is in New York to
catch the first available steamer
for Mexico. His departure from
Washington was accompanied by
reports that the State Department
had demanded his recall, but these
were subsequently denied by Under.
secretary Of State Grew. No ex-
PLANTATION, however, was forthcom.
ing either from the embassy or
the department concerning his
abrupt departure.
The State Department today issued
the following:
Reports that the Mexican Ambas-
sador's recall has been demanded by
the United States are without foun
dation, and this Government has no
information concerning the purpose
of his visit to Mexico City"
The recall reports arose after it
became bruited about that the sub
ject matter of the closely guarded
exchange of notes between Mexico
City and Washington this week
concerned Mexican propaganda. !"
State Department Perturbed
The State Department is said to
have been perturbed over some of
the activities Of Teller and the Mexi.
can consul general in New York,
Arturo Elias. who Is a half brother
of President Gales, in presenting
Mexico's side of the petroleum land
controversy to the American public.
The note which Ambassador Shelf.
field at Mexico City handed the
Mexican foreign office last Sunday
night is reported to have carried a
protest against what the State De.
partment considered "unwarranted
activities"
The Mexican reply, handed the
State Department, yesterday, is said
to have contained a spirited de.
Tense Of Mexico's representatives in
the United States.
Numerous statements, pamphlets
and other material has emanated
from the Mexican embassy during
the progress Of the petroleum law
dispute. Some Of these have been
directly contradictory to those ema-
mating from the State Department
and these are said to have incensed
some Of Secretary Kellogg's aides.
