TRY IT!

If you want to get thrill, just
try climbing the hill just south
of the Lincoln fence in high gear,
in any old car you might fancy.
We don't mean the gravelled road,
but the rutty lane running straight
west from the foot of Washington
street.
Yes, it's been done. It's about
a thirty per cent grade and the
road isn't any too smooth. In fact,
it's right rough. And the editor
of this paper, as well as the edi-
tor of the Pasco paper were pas
sengers last Saturday in Star cars
when the feat was accomplished.
Try out the old bus, some day,
and see what a thrill there is in il.

p. p. & L. LOSES
IN RATE CASE
Property Valuation Low
cred by Supreme Court
Small Reduction

The long fight to compel the P.
p. & L. Co. to reduce its rates was
ended last week when a decision
by the supreme court cut off near
ly a million dollars in valuation
used for rate making purposes.
Since the fight was started sever
al years ago the company has
made several rate reductions and
according to officials is now con-
siderably below the eight per cent
allowed by the commission.
The change in the valuation is
due to including in its valuation
certain property that has not been
used to furnish service to the state
of Washington for fourteen years.
The commission held that this val
uation should not be used in the
making of the Washington rates.
Kennewick has been interested
in the fight to the extent that the
city has been paying its proper
tion of the money raised to pay
the lawyers. Headquarters for
the opposition have been at Walla
Walla and the decision will affect
the rates of all towns in the Yak
lima and Walla Walla valleys. The
actual reduction in rates will be
close to three-quarters of one per
cent, according to company Off
cials.

RERRY WEEVIL
ISCONTROLLED
Poisoned Apple is Effec-
tive in Combating the
Strawberry Pest

:. offectiye control measure for
sherry az root weevils is the
s.,abi ss..,sttering of poisoned dried apples
ssss sIout the plants just previous to
spo. ~ close of the berry season, ac-
s LIMO mo TO Anthony Spuler, asso-
ee,u ';sss sntomologist with the Wash
s'sss ;.s+on Agricultural Experiment
Ststion e. at the state college.
The strawberry weevil occurs in
-.sst;cally every berry growing
Estr;ct IN the state and it attacks
u1., ui.nts both as beetle and as a
p prb declares Mr.. Spuler. "The
S.stles E feed on the foliage and
anti init while the grub destroys the
,oot ,ss system. Strawberry plants
;srfested with weevils appear stunt
Il and sickly and offer little or
- resistance when pulled. Other
sood plants of adult weevils in
.lude raspberry. grape, apple and
reacb while the grub attacks the
mats Of clover, dock, grasses. rhu-
hsrb timothy and young nursery
,tock of Douglas fir. maple, juniper
and pines.
aThe grubs are fleshy white in
auueararlce and about one-fourth
inch in length, he says. An adult
Veevil anywhere from jet black to
reddish brown in color, one-fourth
Inch in length and wingless. It's
habit Of feigning death when dis
turbed makes the weevil difficult
10 discern among the leaves. Egg
hying commences soon after emer-
renee and continues thruout July
and into August.
Weevils will readily eat poison
ed dried apples. This method of
poisoning was discovered a few
years ago and is now regarded as
an effective control measure. Gull
apples, dried and sliced are COM
monty known as apple chops and
can be used for the bait. They
should be ground into small part
itles before being coated with the
poison. Commercially dried apples
should be run through a meat
chopper, using the nut grinder.
Magnesium arsenate, sodium flu
osilicate or zinc arsenate should
be used for poison. Approximately
30 to 95 pounds of apples should
be used to five and ten pounds of
poison. All prepared bait should
Be kept in tight containers as dried
apples readily take on moisture.
It should be scattered over the
aeld at the rate of 20 pounds to
the acre.

HEAT WANTED
NOT SMOKE
Albert Cook Says It's The
Cold that Causes The
Damage to Fruits

Orchard heating can best be
conducted if the growers under
stand what is meant by frost. The
terms "frost" or "hoar frost" are
used to designate the deposit Of
feathery, spine-like, translucent
ice CRYSTALS which form on the
ground and other exposed objects
when the temperature falls below
thirty-two degrees and the dew
point is reached. A more general
use of the term is the occurrence
of any temperature OF 81 degrees
or lower. whether frost forms or
not. Hence frost is simply cold,
or absence Of heat. 1t will be read
ily seen that the only way to pre-
vent damage from frost is to re-
place the heat that is lost as the
ground, and air cools after sum
set. Heat may be added in any
way: by burning coal. wood, oil
brush, shavings, prunings, briquets
or anything which will produce the
necessary heat. However, efficient
orchard heating demands an eco
nomical use of both labor and
fuel. To reduce the labor costs of
operating and to secure the great
est possible heat from the fuels,
heaters burning oil and briquets
have been designed and are used
almost to the exclusion Of all 9TH
er methods.
Tho ;ncraasa in teunerature
which can be secured with given
number of heaters is not always
constant, but varies from time to
time depending upon the atmos-
pheric conditions prevailing.
The chief consideration in or
chard heating is heat and not
smoke. Smoke plays an insignifi-
cant part in preventing frost dam
age.

USE STREET
NUMBERS NOW
Postoffice Promises Free
Delivery by First
of June

Free mail delivery by the first
of June is promised by the local
post office if the installation of
mail boxes continues to progress
as well as it has in the past week.
About sixty per cent of the houses
already put up the boxes and near
ly all of the houses have been
numbered.
But to take the most advantage
of the service the patrons are re-
uuested to urge their correspond
ents to address their mail to the
house numbers. Delay in delivery
may result if the street address
is not on the mail, as it will be
necessary for the mail clerk to
know the street address of the
patron in order to make proper
distribution to the carrier.
Eight collection boxes will be
installed at points within the dis
trict and collection service will be
made from these boxes, so that it
will not be necessary to come to
the office to mail their letters.
Ask your correspondents to adj
dress your mail to your street
number and use it as often as pos
sible to hasten the perfection of
the service.

BURN PELTs

Fire originating in a myster-
ious manner destroyed the barn
of County Game Warden N. E.
Palmer at Prosser last week.
Stored in the barn were forty
beaver plets belonging to the
game commission as well as car
which was furnished the warden,
Thirty beaver hides which had
been dried and baled ready for
shipment had been removed from
the barn that day. 1t is thought
that someone not knowing the
pelts had been removed, had en-
tered the barn to steal them and
set the barn afire to hide their
retreat. The pelts had a value Of
about $40 each. The total loss was
placed at about $1400.
