length, and about five sewed to-
gether endwise. Two people can
handle them easily in this wav.
But like heaters this is extra cost.
The water we have, and it has to
be paid for. The right manner of
culture can be applied without
extra cost. Any normal year a 90
per cent berry crop can be saved
by these last two things.
Strawberries along with cher
ries is one of the hobbies that
brot me to Kennewick. But there
were two things that put a crimp
in my best laid plans. Until re-
Gently / never had the frost prob
lem worked out. And in the Sec
ond place the Clark Seeding va
riety has run out and will not
produce satisfactory crops under
wide enough range of conditions.
Other varieties have been tried
but quality so far has been lack
ing. This spring am planting two
acres Of entirely new varieties of
my fathers origination. My father
at White Salmon has been cross
ing Strawberries for over eighteen
years. Altogether we have over
10000 seedlings with the hope that
some one at least would be hardy
and a heavy cropper and still have
Clark's quality. We feel so sure
that we have succeeded that we
are each planting a commercial
size experiment field. He is plant
ing eight acres this spring and
he already has two acres in bear
ing besides and over 1000 more
little seedlings in the seed beds.
When some of these varieties
have proven out beyond any ques-
ton whatever they will be dis
tributed as quickly as possible.
Old timers here and at White
Salmon & Hood River harken back
to the good old strawberry days
when everybody had little ready
money. No joking about it. 1 know
of lots of homes that were built
from berry patches. But in the old
days all hands and cook helped
with the berries and schools turn
ed out to pick. So / am old-fash-
toned enough to believe that if
the humble strawberry is to re-
turn in all it's glory, the farmers
will have to have the old-fashioned
help back along with moral sup
port.
Strawberries follow so well in
crop rotation with alfalfa that
berry land will always be plenti-
full. provided some new variety
can be found that will thrive on
light sandy soil. In that case 100
carloads year could be produced
handily.

Dear Editor:
Last week you spoke of new
impetus being given the local
strawberry industry by the sue
cessful heating experiment in Mr..
Brue's field. Now is a good time
to discuss frost protection while
the recent damage is fresh in our
minds and the evidence is at hand.
Personally I doubt the value of
this experiment very much. on ac-
count of the cost of equipment,
altho it does show conclusively that
if enough pots are used 100
per cent crop can be saved. 1t looks
to me like a pot only has a saving
radious of about eight feet. which
would mean 100 pots to the acre.
This is too much cost for most
growers.
In comparison I want to call the
/ attention of anyone interested to
Otto Reese's field where I esti-
mate over go per cent were saved
by irrigation, heavy foliage and
no cultivation. In the nursery /
have always had serious frost
damage to contend with and /
have had to evolve ways and
means of protection. The best
thing I have found is to keep the
surface of the ground smooth, sol
| i'd and wet and run a trickle of
water down each row all night on
bad nights. l do not hoe or culti-
vate to any extent until the frost
danger is ever. Never mind the
weeds, they are protection also.
Heavy foliage is very import
ant for frost protection. On large
| thrifty vines a much larger pro-
portion of blossoms open under
| the leaves than on small vines.
| The way to have large vines is
first to plant only on rich medium
heavy soil and not allow the row
! to set too thick. Plants four to
! six inches apart an dthe row foot
! wide is about right. Small plants
i should always be hoed out as they
are the same as weeds. I like to
have space enough around each
plant to run narrow hoe and
save on weed pulling.
Another advantage of large
plants is that they have a much
longer blooming and ripening sea-
son. If the first blossoms should
get caught by frost there is al
ways more to come. Small plants
are usually so much in the open
ana so near the same stage of
development that a frost anytime
does lots OF damage. To have large
vines ana a long shipping season
IS a great help in harvesting and

Dear Editor:
Allow me just a little space in
your columns in regards to the
late frost or freeze, as viewed
from the standpoint of a stranger
in your city. In listening to the
discussion in the stores and offices
and on the street / had about come
to the conclusion that there was
nothing left to Kennewick, and
that they, the business houses,
might just as well close their doors
until next year, and that nothing
but failure was staring the bust
ness men in the face.
Is this the opinion you wish to
convey to strangers Most assur-
edly not. Let the same stranger
start out over the country preach
ing this same doctrine and he
would have the wrath of the Com
mercial club men on him and he
would deserve it. Do you want the
outside world to think that the
failure of one crop will cause such
a tremendous difference in the
commercial life of your city?
Consider some of the wheat
growing sections where crop after
crop was almost a complete fail
ure. Did they throw up their hands
in despair and say 1--WE are done
for this year." Not much; they just
buckled down that much harder
and their communities have con-
tinued to steadily grow.
Why not everybody just work
and boost that much harder and
forget there was such a thing as
a freeze or frost.
In my opinion. as a stranger
the business men are doing far
more harm toward injuring the
city than the freeze by not just
buckling in that much harder to
boost. Remember your success de-
ponds on the growth and prosper
lty OF the community in not Just
this years crop but future crops,
Your homes are here, your in
terests are here, so just forget the
failure of some crops and work
harder for the production of 9TH
ers..
Please accept these remarks
from a stranger who is merely
giving them in spirit of helpful.
ness and good will.

Hunter Rides Deer
Two Miles In Brush

Sault Ste Marie, Ont.-To
ride two miles through the
brush on a deer's back is the
thrilling experience narrated
by Eugene Guzza, $50 Albert
street, West, who has just

Goulais bay.
.We were walking along a
trail not far from Goulais
bay" Guzzo said, when we
saw q deer lying under
tree. At first we thought 1t
was dead. On going close to
it, it did not stir, and then
we decided to roll 1T over.

me a merry ride for two

when Some experienced orators

the growers have been employing

round, now are leaving this val
ley to find work in other parts of
the u. S. If we want to survive
we need some help. Now is the
time to ask favor of Uncle Sam
that is to take the red tape off
the High Line canal and begin to
work on the canal this 1927, while
the fruit growers are idle and
without any income whatever. this
year. A couple of million dollars
or so spent in digging the canal
would help considerable. And that
would encourage a good many
farmers. especially fruit growers
to hang on to their hard-earned
homes. And it would look also
brighter for the new corners, see
ing here, something more done
for the people than taking their
money away on railroad fares.
We claim we have government
by the people and for the people.
Now is the time to find out if
there is any truth in that old say
ing.

POSTAL EMPLOyE
FINDS DYNAMITE
Explosive for Governor of
Bay State Discovered
by Alert Clerk.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, May 1.-THE keen eye.
sight and quick thinking Of postal
employe prevented delivery to Gov.
Alvan r. Fuller of pound of dyna-
mite from a Sacco-Vanzettt sympa-
thizer. it became known today. The
dynamite was contained in small
parcel to which was tied the following
note: Governor of assachusetts: |
have succe-ded in getting one-quar+ar
of ton of this. If Sacco and Van
zetti are going to be murder | am
going to get more and use it. (Signed)
"A CITIZEN or TIE WORLD"
Although it was believed that the
governor would not have been en-
dangered by receipt Of the parcel since
ii containeA no decorating apparatus,
officials here were quick to praise
Clerk Frank w. Steele. who picked ii
out of the mail at the Burlington
avenue post station and gave it to his
super1ors TOR examination.
Package Found Tuesday.
The package was discovered on May
10, but it was only today after the eX-
plosive had been destroyed and efforts
t. fiji I the mailer had failed that the
governor was informed. Inspector
Park d. Colvin of the post Office said
that there was no clue either to the
mailer or to the point in the city
where it was placed in the mail. 1t
was apparently unnoticed until 1t
reached the central sorting room at
the Burlington station.
The note was written with lead pen
Gil and was attached to the package
with wire. Since Nicola Sacco and
Bartolomeo Vanzetti. radicals. were
sentenced to die in July for murder
committed in 1920, the office of the
governor has been deluged with re-
quests and demands from many parts
of the world that he exercise his power
to intervene and pardon the con-
demned men.
Few Threats Received.
Although most of the communica-
tions have been temperate in tone. sew
eral threats of violence have been
found among them.
The dynamite discovered today was
the first attempt to send or place any
explosive near the governor. Bomb
ings have several times occurred dur
ing the seven years the case has been
in the courts, which were attributed
to sympathizers Of the two men. The
United States embassy in Paris and
the home of a witness in Bridgewater,
Mass, were among the places dam

A constant guard has been placed
over the homes and offices of the gov
ernor. judges and others concerned in
the case since the sentence of death

PANAMA PROTESTS
SEIZURE Of SHIP
Note Says Alleged Liquor

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The release of the ship Hakadata,
seized as a liquor smuggler by the
Coast Guard off the Mexican coast on
April z. was demanded by Minister
Alfaro of Panama in a note delivered
yesterday to the State Department.
The Hakadata, the note said, was
seized 60 miles south of the Mexican
American frontier and miles out at
sea and therefore the seizure was
r'agal.
Panama's arguments followed close
ly those set forth in the recent con-
troversy regarding the seizure of the
Panaman steamer Federalship, which
was held illegal by the courts.
In addition, the protest contained
extracts from a statement by the cap
tain of the Coast Guard schooner
Vaughan. which captured the Haka-
data, These extracts, the note said.
differed from information which the
State Department had transmitted to
the legation concerning the seizure.
and which was understood to have
