FROST MAN HERE AGAIN

Albert Cook, connected with the
U. S. Department of Agriculture, who
during the spring Of the last few years
has been located at Kenewick engaged
in passing out frost warnings to fruit
growers who heat to prevent frost
damage, was expected back in Kene-
wick this week to begin setting up
his Instruments for the seasons work.
The warnings formerly have been sent
up to this valley by telephone every
evening when conditions seemed TO
indicate q frost. but because weather
conditions varied SO much in the Two
districts the service has not been very
satisfactory here SO far, particularly
last spring.
Through the efforts of Ira G. Haw-
ley, with the help Of come OF the other
growers, different arrangements are
to be made this spring by placing
number Of dependable INSTRUMENTS
over this valley and it is believed that
under this plan the warnings will be
much more reliable.

DEMONSTRATION TRAIN

A special dairy-livestock demonstra-
ton train will visit two communities
in Benton county en- March Is. 1t
will be at Benton City from ll:l5 a. m.
to 1880 p. nl., and at Kcnewick from
2:3o to $50 p. m.
The purpose of this tram is to
bring to the attention Of grain and
fruit growers the value Of producing
sheep, hogs or dairy cows as side
Inc to the main crop. The Union
Pacific Railway system and the Col
lege Of Washington are cooperating
in this plan. The train will visit ls
communities in 7 Eastern Wasting
ton counties where grain or fruit arc
the principal farm crops. W -.
Live animals of suitable types will
be shown in hogs, sheep and dairy
COWS. Discussion Of problems OF both
production and marketing will be
given by livestock specialists.
Exhibits of wool obtained from dit
fcrcnt grades and breeds of sheep and
the preparation OF the wool for mar
ket will be shown by the Pacific Co.
operative Wool Growers Association.
The kinds OF animc:s the market
wants in lambs and hogs will be shown
in carcass and live form. The dis
cussion Of dairy cows will be given
consideration in relation to four
breeds - the Holste:n, Guernsey,
Jersey and Ayrshire.
Farmers in Benton county are
urged to visit this train at one OF the
local stops. Demonstrations and talks
will be suro1eDented by cxh'b ts
which individuals can study. Prac-
ti~,l noin.s on divers.fying farming
will be given.

SUCCESS.
1t means putting the ordinary idea
cf orchard heating into reverse gear.
For ground heating the radiant heat
must be depended on and this can be
secured to remarkable degree by
proper placing Of the pots
With pots placed twenty feet apart
we succeeded in rais.ng the temera-
ture on the ground seven degrees.
This in practically every instance
would be sufficient to save the crop.
The secret lies in elevating the pots
about two feet above ground. Radi-
ant heat travels straight in every di-
rection and this gives opportunity for
a norton Of the heat to spread out
and down over a considerable area,
whereas il placed on the ground there
is but one escape and that is up with
the result that frost will do damage
within few feet of pot burning at
full capacity. .,
I believe the smudge pot will rees-
tablish the strawberry industry in the
Kcnnewick and Richland districts to
is former glory. The cost is not pro-
b;b;tiye. Cons dering the value OF the
crop and the hazard involved, it am
cunts onlv to a reasonable rate Of in
surance. !,
Further eperiments will be carried
On this spring but would like to see
it more extensive. Every grower who
has heavy bearing bed should IN
form himself and assist in carrying on
this work. --Richland Advocate.

GROWERS TO SELECT DELEGATES TO
GRADE AND PACK CONFERENCE

ut seems to Inc in trying to save
few cents in eur sorting, as it is
claimed by advocates Of the two
grade pack, we are in grave danger
OF losing 25 cents box on account
OF the lower grade being mixed with
the extra fancy apples.
1--WE must take into consideration
our distance to consuming markets
and the cost Of rs cents to 90 cents
box for freight. Our fruit comes
in keen competition with apples grown
in middle western and eastern states
which have only is cents to 80 cents
a bushel of freight to pay.
II would like TO have some Of the
advocates of the two-grade pack show
me Low we are going to get price
large enough to pay our heavy freight
and receive small profit, if we put
our apples in pack to more nearly
correspond with that of the middle
west and east, as some of our speak,
e-s claim.
"It appears to me as if we were
overlooking the most important item
of ali, that OF securing lower freight
rate by concerted effcrt on the part
of fruit growers, shippers, cooperative
associations, chambers of commerce
and business interests. With strong
delegation pressing our claims before
the interstate commerce commission we
could perhaps get5scme results. If we
only secured reduction of 10 cents
or. 20 cents box, it would mean the
difference between success or failure
to many fruit growers.
"If we hv chance could get the so
cents a box rate to which we feel we
are entitled, we will have done a much
greater service to the fruit industry
Of the northwest than by lowering our
standard OF grade and pack. If we
must come to the two-grade pack, I
would say retain the extra fancy grade
and combine the fancy and the c
grade"
Another who objects to the two
grade pack is A. E. Lovett, county
agent OF Yakima county.
'sThe extra fancy grade almost in
variably brings from 20 cents TO 40
cents box mere than the fancy"
said Mr.. Love. IF the extra fancy
are PUT in with the fancy, the grower
may expect to get only the usual
fancy price.
Since the apples must be handled
for grading, even for the fancy grade,
it is necessary to handle all the fruit
and the extra tinle required to select
tbs extra fancy from the lot, cannot
amount to mere than l cent to cents
a box.
Careful consideration of Professor
Du,nmeier's statement at the economic
conference relative to prices for def
mite grades Of fruit should be suffic-
lent proof to the grower that the ex-
tra fancy grade ihc1eares the profits
from his product. ;.
THE producer of poor quality fruit
may benefit from two-grade pack,
but the producer of high quality ap-
PIES will without question lose money.
Buyers will not take chance on pur-
chasing and the fruit will only bring
the price for the poorer quality in any
given grade.
1--WE would urge every grower to
consider carefully any changes in the
present grades. The two-grade pack
may make the grading somewhat cas-
ier, but it will bring the hig h priced
apples down to the price of the poor
est apples in that grade" he concluded

BOARD GRANTS PRIEST
RAPIDS EXTENSION

The Federal Water Power Leasing
board on March 3 granted the two
year extension asked for by the Wash.
ington Irrigation & Development com
pany in its licensee for the develop
inent of the Priest Rapids power site.
The company pleaded lack of the de-
velopnent of sufficient market for
the 3sa,000 or more horse power that
could be developed at the site. So far
as is known here, there was no objec-
ton on the part of any one to the ex-
tension, or, ii there was, it was inef-
fective.
Under the Water Power Leasing
Act, only one extension can be granted
and construction at Priest Rapids must
be underway by March /, 1929, or the
company will forfeit it's license.

Of all the water the system will carry.
Some of the water users eay that the
Sis per acre is more than they paid
last year while others say it will be
less. Mr.. Chase has said that ne VIII
start the pumps on the seasons run in
time to furnish water for the dormant
spray. In ordinary years this spray
is applied between March Is and rs
but this spring is SO backward that it
is possible it will be later this year.
