By ALBERT w. COOK

The week was characterized by
cloudy and unsettled weather with
occasional sprinkles of rain during tine
week and light rains on Sunday night
and Monday in all sections of the
County. Some soft hail fell at Kenne-
wick on Monday afternoon.
Although no damaging frosts oc-
Cured the temperature was below
normal and development of the fruit
buds has been retarded. The seasonal
advancement Of asparagus and all tree
fruit buds is from three weeks to a
month later than last year in all sec
tions of the County.
Dates for the. testing of thermome-
tiers for the growers VINO have heating
equipment are as follows:
!, Monday, March 2l-Prosser, Whit
stran, Benton City. All thermome-
tiers left at the Horticultural office
in the Court House at Prosser will
be tested and ready for return by
four o'clock the same day. Must be
left before 900 A. M.
Tuesday, March 22-Kennewick, Rich
land. Leave thermometers at the
Kennewick Commercial Club or Big
ny NV "a 1vAs dltd lliCy Will OC
ready for return by 400 P. M.
Wednesday, March 23-Hanford and
White Bluffs. Leave thermometers
with N. Anglin, Hanford, or Mr..
Codding at yellow" packing house
White Bluffs by 900 A. M. and ex-
pect testing to be completed by
400 p. M.
All Thermometers should be tagged
and marked so that Identification is
positive.
There is no charge for the testing.
A thermometer that is absolutely ac-
curatc is difficult to make and the
cost would prohibit its use for any
such purpose as regulating firing of
heaters in the orchard.
The common errors in the construc-
ton of thermometer are: l, the fixed
points, boiling and freezing, may be
displaced; 2, the bore of the stem may
not be uniform; 8, the liquid in the
thermometer may become decomposed
when exposed to the light of the sun;
4, the glass stem may be strained by
temperature above 120 degrees Fahr-
enheit.
Since the cost of an absolutely ac-
curate thermometer is prohibitive for
frost use the safest and surest way as
to obtain true temperature is to de-
termine the magnitude of the nuner-
Gus small errors due to construction
and compensate for them, if necessary,
in taking readings. The type of ther-

GROWERS RECOMMEND
APPLE GRADE RULES

Between twenty-five and thirty
growers from the White Bluffs-Ha
ford district were present at the meet
ing in Liberty Hall Monday evening
to elect delegate to the state grade
and pack conference to be held in
Spokane March "a and rs and to dis
cuss changes in the rules.
Ira c. Hawley of White Bluffs was
elected as delegate, and w. S. Weber
of Hanford as alternate.
While the delegates, will go to the
conference without specific 'instruc-
tions, the following resolutions were
passed indicating the changes in the
grade rules desired by those growers
present at the meeting. That para
graph two Of the 1926 grade rules, de-
signaling color requirements of the
different apple grades, be omitted in
the 1927 rules; that the fancy grade
requirements be somewhat lightened
in both color and blemishes; that the
rules be changed to permit that three
small healed stings be allowed in the
fancy grade in the red varieties and
two stings in the green and blush var
ieties. where the apple has the other
extra fancy specifications; that the
color requirements in the fancy Deli
cious and Jonathan be changed. from
Is per cent to IS per cent; that no
change whatever be made in the extra
fancy grade in all varieties; and that
the conference recommend to the le-
gislature and the state horticultural
department that at least two inspec-
tors at large be appointed to enforce
the law regarding the sale of wormy
and infected fruit, particularly in the
larger cities in the state. Only one re-
solution offered during the evening
was defeated. That was one by A. L.
Brockway .of .Hanford that the &C.
grade apples be packed in a different
style package from the fancy and
extra fancy.
There was a general sentiment at
the meeting of retaining the high re-
auirements Of the extra fancy, but to
tighten up somewhat on the fancy
grade.
District horticultural Inspector E.
E. Hill called the meeting to order.
Edmund Anderson acted as chairman
and L. A. Codding secretary. A col
lection Of $40 was taken up at the
meeting to cover Mr.. Hawley's ex-
penses to the conference.
Benton county will have five dele
gates at the conference.

CITY HOSPITALS
ARE APPROVED
American College Of Surgeons
Places Both Local lrstitu.
tInns on It's List

Chicago. III Oct. Full approx
al OF the standards and mainten-
ance Of the Bismarck. n. D.. Evan
gcllcsl and ST Alexius hospitals
was announced today by the Amerl-
can College Of Surgeons.
Other hospitals in North Dakota
granted full approval by the Col
lege arc the st. Johns and st.
Luke's hospitals Of Fargo and the
Deaconess and St. MichaeI's hospl-
tails of Grand Forks.
In statement issued today. DR..
Franklin II. Martin, director general
OF the organization, said
Choosing your hospital when sick
or injured is a most serious respon
slbility. This has been made easier
in recent years through the pub
fishing annually of the list of hos
pltals approved by the American
College of Surgeons officially an
nounced this morning.
These approved hospitals stand
for the right kind of care of the pa
tient through he utilizing Of the
best means of diagnosis and treat
ment that modern scientific medicine
can afford for the one out of every
ten persons, or 100000, who seek
hospital care annually at a main
tenance cost aggregating ovel
81 600, 100000. Results count most
These are evidenced by the lowe,
average days stay Of patients ir
hospitals, the gradual falling OF
hospital death rates, the minimiz-
ing Of complications, and the I'M
proving in results generally.
Sure Of Careful Treatment
Il am sure it is great satisf fac
tion for the people to know that the
patient III standardized or ap-
proved hospital is better assured of
a prompt and accurate diagnosis,
more scientific treatment, and an
earlier return to normal physical
condition if at all possible This is
what every patient is entitled ia
and is the responsibility Of the hos
pltal to carry out. 1t is quite true
that under the new regime of hos
pital standardization during the past
10 years many hospitals, which
might be in the past described as
mere nursing homes, have been
transformed into real scientific in
stitutions where the patients condi-
tion can be promptly diagnosed and
treated. Here the patient can Sc
cure the benefit of the accumulated
knowledge Of all the medical pro-
fession through consultations, staff
conferences, group study, and more
thorough means Of investigation and
treatment rather than that of one
individual as formerly in the prac-
tice of medicine. With this there
has been a marked advance in medi-
cal science throughout America.
THE American College of Sur
geons greatly appreciates this op-
portunity of officially announcing
the list of approved hospitals for
1927. These hospitals have adopted
the fundamental requirements for
the right care of the patient and the
rendering of the broadest commun-
ity service as provided for in the
minimum standard laid down by this
organization, charged with the re-
sponsibility Of the great movement
known as hospital standardization.

there in severe weather. The ques-
tion of maintaining an agent at
Dover has been before the commits
sion five times since 1921, citizens
of the vi lity seeking the service
Of 4 full-time agent and the rail-
road seeking to close the station
and eliminate the agent expense.
The commission refused to order
the installation of wigwag warning
signals at the crossing Of the 500
Line and Northern Pacific railroads
in the city of Cakes.
Investigation of the case affect
ing the Northern Pacific crossing
showed that it would be amply pro-
tected if persons using it used or
dinary Gre and the railroad COM
pany enforced rules laid down for
protection If the crossing while
switching, the commission said.
In the case Of the 500 line cross
ing it was held that "stop" sign
would do fully as well as a wigwag
signal and the railroad was ordered
to install one when the city council
passed an ordinance designating the
crossing a stop or, ssing and MAX
ing provisions for policing it.

troop Friday night, w. G. Fulton,
director of boys welfare work, was
favorably impressed with their
work. he said today.
Adult leadership Of the troop IS
exceptionally fine. Fulton said. At

PER MITS GIVEN
TO BUS LINES
Freight Carriers at Beach and
Glendale Allowed to Be-
gin Service

Holding that it has little control
over interstate traffic, the state
railroad board has granted certifi-
Gates of convenience and necessity
To operators Of motor bus freight
lines operating in the southern and
western parts of tho state with con-
nectlons into South Dakota and
Montana.
Each case was fought by rail
road companies which contended
that extension Of bus service would
seriously interfere with their busi-
ness.
In one case the application Of
j. Z. kessler of Glendale to extend
his bus service to Forbes was
opposed by the Great North
ern railroad. lnve I'll e j n
showed that much Of the
business handled was freight des-
tined for or coming from Aberdeen,
$. y. As result the commission
held that It. had little authority in
the matter and that its chief interest
lies in seeing that stae laws re-
quiring bus operators to carry in
surance and to make other provi-
sions for the safety of the public
are complied with.
Beach Ollie Permit Granted
A similar situation developed in
connection with the application of
Buell. W. Richards for a permit to
operate bus line from Beach, N.
D.. to Ollie, Montana. The COM
mission found that Richards would
be rendering real service and that
its interest lies only in seeing that
he complies with the state law.
The Northern Pacific railroad,
which contested issuance of the
certificate of convenience and neces-
sity. formerly operated daily pas
senger and mail service along the
same route but now operates only
semi weekly.
After reviewing again the ques-
tion of whether an agent should be
maintained by the Northern Pacific
railroad at Dover, the commission
ruled that agency service should be
given during September, October,
November anG December only.
The railroad was ordered to make
provision for hand | ing its
business there during
the other eight months of the year
and to maintain supply of kind
ling wood and fuel for use by pas
sengers who wish to board trains
