TEMPERATURES VARY
By ALBERT w. COOK

Because Of a marked variation in
temperature in the Same locality the
forecasting Of minimum temperatures
for large areas is impossible. 1t is
well known fact among orchardists
that the temperature is not always the
same in all parts of the orchard,
Sometimes there is a considerable
difference in temperature between the
ends of the same grove.
For this reason station represen-
tative of the coldest section in
each section is chosen and dess
igutated as the key or fore
cast it means that that temperature is
the lowest expected to be recorded
by the thermometer in the key
station shelter.
The differences in temperature be-
tween different points is usuallv about
the same. There will only be a slight
variation from time to time. The
proper use Of the forecasts is to Sc
cure them every day and determine
the average departure from the min
irnum recorded on carefully tested
end properly sheltered thermometer
in your orchard.
The temperature survey stations To-
Gated throughout the district bear
out the regularity Of the difference
ietween the various stations. Grow
ers may find it helpful to compare
the temperature in their own grove
with those recorded in a nearby
Weather Bureau survey station.

4. {. ROBINSON FAINTS
/ AND FALLS into FIRE

H. E. Robinson, Commercial
Hotel manager was terribly burned
when he was seized with fainting
attack and fell into a brush fire at
his ranch north of town Tuesday
afternoon. No one was near him and
it is difficult to estimate the length
of time he was lying in the fire
before he was discovered by Bert
Ranes, who was working in the
Stoddard orchard adjoining and
who, seeing the blaze, went over
to put it out. The injured man was
rushed to town and first aid treat
inent was given by DR.. Hills, after
which he was taken to st Elizabeth's
hospital at Yakima on an imprc yised
bed in one of the White Bluffs
Motor company cars accompanied
by Mrs. Robinson, DR.. Hills and
| red Gilhuly.
All of the hair was burned from
his head, his scalp and one ear being
almost cooked, and his left hand was
nearly as bad, while both ankles, both
hips and one shoulder had large and
deem burns.
Mr.. Robinson has been in i'll health
for the, last few years, having a weak
heart and being subject to tainting
spells.
A report from the hospital Friday
said Mr.. Robinson was rest
ing easy and that his condition was
rs good as could be expected.

SPRING OFFICIALLY HERE

Spring was ushered in, officially,
Monday of this week. There is
some dispute among the authorities
about the exact hour of its arrival.
The Spokesman Review said it was
at seven a. m. Bob Brant says
Ia a. m. and another authority
II a. m. A good stiff breeze from
tre northwest that filled the ar
with dust, blew all day and the
lamentations of the housewives were
loud in the land.
Durire the DAYS this week whe-, the
wind did not blow, growers in the
valley were busy applying the lime
sulphur spray. Nearly all of the
lime-sulphur being used here this
snring was manufactured in the new
plant recently installed by the White
Bluffs Horticultural Exchange. While
none OF the local orchards are
badly infested with scale, nearly all
of them have sprinkling which
might become serious if neglected
and the growers are showing good
Judgment In not allowing tine pest
to spread.
All signs point to later spring than
the country has experienced for sever
al years. That will be a favorable sit
,,ation, as the consumption of apples
is better in moderately cold weather
than in warm weather. Northwestern
tapr,es are keeping well and much
better than eastern harreled stocks.
Northwest apples are moving to
market steadily and there is every
reason to believe that they will con-
tinue to do So.

.PRossER SOFT FRUIT HURT

Soft fruits of the Prosser district
have been damaged by the January
freeze to a marked degree, e. E.
Hill county horticulturist announced
last week, following preliminary
survey. Peaches in this district are
practically wiped out, it is believed,
while cherries are seriously damaged.
Because of the widely separated
orchards Of the district it is i'm
possible to estimate the damage to
cherries at this time, Hill says.
Pear growers will also suffer some
loss, the extent of which is still
question, it is said The pear orch
ard at Cherry Lane has not been
ncticeably damaged, it is reported.
Peach orchards in Benton City
district have not yet been seriously
damaged, Hill states. This is due
mainly to the difference in the
temperature of the two districts dur
ing the January freeze APPLES
were rot damaged by the January

H|DDENITE MINE
WORKED STEADILY
RareSt of Gems Is ConSid-
cred Worth $1OO Per
Carat at Present.
Bv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
RALEIGH, n. c., April 13-Idle for
more than a generate the only hid
denite mine iR the world is again
steadily in operation, DR.. Joseph Hyde
Pratt, president of the State Forestry
Association and former State geologist,
said Saturday.
This rarest of all gems. said DR..
Pratt, is being produced in the only
locality, near Taylorsville, in which 1t
is known to exist, after the effort TO
secure 1t in quantity had long been
abandoned.
All Gems Sold.
The work is being carried on by the
Hiddenite Mining Company, and opera
tons lasting more than a year have
resulted in important additions being
made to the finishing supply which is
for the most part in the hands of
collectors.
In fact, he said, all gems produced
have been sold to Burnham $. Colburn
of Biltmore Forest, near Asheville,
one of the foremost American COZ
lectors of minerals. who desired them
particularly in order to increase the
completeness of his North Carolina
collection, to which he is giving spe-
cial attention.
That mining hddenlte is SLOW work
is shown by the report Of the produc-
ton of the mine.
500 a Carat.
During a year of operation. DR.
Pratt said. there had been produced
from a large quantity of rock treated
about $50 carats Of the gem crystals,
of which 81 were of gem quality.
They will make 40 carats of hiddenite
as it is known in gem form, it is said.
Asked as to the commercial value
placed on hiddenite, DIR. Pratt said
that it was about 500 a carat. The
output of the mine, where four or five
men are employed, has therefore a
value, since operations We're resumed,
of around $1,000. Hiddenite, which
has a romantic history, was once
known as the worlds most valuable
gem. That, however, was in the mid
die eighties, when African diamond
mines were producing so rapidly that
diamonds which now sell at about
$500 q carat We're bringing not more
than an eighth of that amount.
