GRADUATE OF P.H.S.
Sidney Hayward Tells Hartford Pupils College Friendships
 Are Enduring

College friendships are enduring said Sidney (. Haywood to the stu dents of Buckley High school, Hart ford, Friday. Mir. Hayward, former ly of Putnam, s graduate of the Putnam High school and Dar~ Youth college. now assistant in the office of the president of Dartmouth, was speaking al the exercises of the first annual college choosing day inaugu- Ntted in the three Hartford high schools.
 The principal of the school introduced Mfr Hayward saying that the college had not sent a repre- sentative Co solicit students but re- ther to encourage them to better efforts SO that the y would be compe- tent Co carry on if they should wish Co enter college.
 Mir. Hayward said that almost every college was filled to capacity so that 1t had to sift down the applicants and that admission Co college IS a geritabie survival of the Attest" He said that college was the logical step for one te take when he had completed high school.
 Like Steel Process
 The stages of education were com pared to a steel process. The crude ore is exemplified by the grammar school boy who treads his way reluctantly to school not knowing why his parents have sent him This is the first process. the initial refining of the crude ore. Then the student IS seat 10 high school where he Is tried and tested. Mr. Hayward said that whea one has had High school education | is easier U keep mental steel polish ed.
 Mir. Hayward cited numerous .n- stances where college men when asked what they considered the most valu- able thing which they obtained from college replied "the friendships l made"
 The four years that a boy or girl spends in college are the best four years of his or her life" said Mir. Hayward. Colleges spend twice as much on the student as he pays them. The deficiency is made up bv endowments. Without them col lcpes would go hOpelessly in debt. Is it far then to go to college and use all thi, extra money if one is not fitte to 20 there? 4 student must offer a great deal to a college if the college is willing to spend that much money on him. \ college expects desire to learn from the student. More Is not asked.

LAUGHS FOR EVERYBODY
By One WHO Vas There

The valley people are much in
debtcd to Mrs. o. F. Allen and
her committee and the youngsters
who helped them, for the program
given at the high school auditorium
last Friday night-indebted because.
they provided 80 many good laughs
at time when laughs were hard to
raise.
The musical numbers were un-
usually lovely and included instru-
mental and. vocal duets as we'll as
vocal and cornet solos contributed BY
Hanford talent. The musicians all
responded generously with much ap-
prcciated encores.
The pantomine Of the bachelor
passing judgment on prospective
vile was very clever-tte lady with
seven lively children didn't appeal
to him at all.
Those who never attended meet
ing OF any woman's organization
now know exactly how they are
conducted, the Ladies Sewing Club"
giving very laughable takeoff on
such meetings.
Ice cream and cake provided a
pleasant finish to a happy evening
and the Ladies Aid Golfers are en-
riched by about $40.

GROW GOOD POTATOES

Treating seed potatoes will help
control losses from common scab,
powdery scab, rhizoctonia. blackleg
and silver scurf. The corrosive SUBJ
Innate treatment is frequently used
by Washington farmers.
In preparing seed to be treated,
first wash as free from dirt as pos
sible. Keep them damp by covering
with heavy sacks or burlap for "a
to 48 hours. This will start the fun
gus growing, thus making the treat
ment more effective, says Arnold z.
Smith. county agent in Snohonish
county.
Secure corrosive sublimate from
any drug store. -Four ounces will Or
dinarily treat or 4 sacks of potatoes.
Dissolve the corrosive sublimate in a
quart Of hot water, preferably in
glass. crock or wooden vessel. When
the material is thoroughly dissolved
in the hot water, pour 1t into the
treating barrel or vat and add enough
cold water to make 80 gallons.
Immefse the potatoes In the solu-
tion either loose or in wooden crates
Let them soak &hr o1g 10 ore and
osse-half hours for the first two Or
tllrci. lots. Then Iengtlien the time by
is or 20 minutes for each succeeding
lot until 6ge or six lots have been
treated. Then renew the solution or
discard it and make more.
AS soon as the tubers are taken
from the treating solution, dry them
in rather diffused or protected sun
light, but not in strong sunlight.
Use care in handling corrosive sub
Innate as it is poison. ~,

DIVERSIFIED FARMING
INTERESTING GROWERS

Because of the damage to the soft
fruit crop. White Bluffs growers are
going into other lines of farming
temporarily. Some are planting spuds,
others are considering cantaloups, a
few are planning on going into dairy
ing or adding few more cows to
their herds and still others expect
to 60 into poultry, raising chickens
and turkeys
The spuds are always a staple crop.
Some years the growers make good
money and other years the supply
exceeds the demand. The outcome,
however, is always in doubt as the
farmer has no way of knowing until
the crop is harvested how many have
been produced.
Cantaloupes have always produced
well in this valley but the net returns
have not always been profitable. With
the shortage of the soft fruit crop,
a new situation has developed and it
is possible that cantaloupes this year
will substitute for cherries. peaches
and apricots and bring good returns.
Dairying is always safe line OF
farming and there is nothing in sight
to indicate there will be an over supply
OF dairy products.
Some good money has been made
here in poultry, especially in turkeys.
They take a lot of care and they are
some expense but there is no one here
that raised turkeys for the market and
gave them the proper care and atten-
ton that did not make money at it.
The sum total of all this is that this
is not one crop district and every
farmer has his chance at success
through diversification, if he uses his
head as well as his hands.

SAYS We WILL HAVE APPLES

s. H. Andrews OF Cashmere was a
visitor in White Bluffs Wednesday.
coming around this way on his way
home from Yakima. MIR. Andrews
spent large part of his time here
checking up on the damage from the
recent freeze in the various orchards
and he said that while there was, un-
doubtedly, some damage, he believed
growers were inclined to overestimate e
il and that they would have more ap-
pies than they now figure on.
Mr.. Andrews said the apple buds
were not far enough advanced in the
Wenatchee valley in general to be in
jured and that there would be nearly
full crop in that district. Soft fruit
was injured in some parts of that val
ley, he said, but he believed there
would be approximately so per cent Of
q crop in the whole district.

PROSPECTS FOR APPLE
CROP GETTING BETTER

Like DR.. Coue's health rule. the fruit
crop in this valley, particularly the
apple crop is EVERY day in every way
getting better and better" The morn
ing followin- the freeze last week the
growers were all pretty blue. The buds
that were in blossom then looked pretty
bad. Since that time, however, the
propects for crop have grown stead.
Ny better and unless something else
happens there is every indication that
there will be at least fair yield.
The week Of warm days and nights
following the freeze was ideal for the
! DEVELOPMENT of the late or more DORM
ant buds and it is from these that the
crop is expected.
A close examination of the buds
indicate that the ,.ield in the orchards
near the river will range from an aver
age to full crop Of apples while in
the orchards further back, the GOOD
buds are less numerous.
The Rome Beauty apples seem to
have withstood the freexe better than
the other varieties, while the Winesaps
come second. The Delicious wete
harder hit than any Of the others but
there are not, comparatively speaking
AAA0AAy VI AsAAo VAASby "a OkHASo "a SAAsS
valley. The Jonathans nltte orchards
back from the river viii be light while
in some Of the orchards nearer the
river there will be full crop. .
The soft fruit, cherries peaches
apricots and plums and prunes appear
to be pretty well frozen ont, together
with early Yellow Transparent apples.
The Strawberries also appear 70 be
hard hit although there may be 1 2S per
cent crop.
The pear crop is spotted. Some vari-
cites, stood the freeze better than others
and where heating was done even the
Bartietts promise fair crop.
Reports from the other districts
are conflicting. Some say the dam
age has been quite heavy while others
claim the apple buds were not far
enough advanced to be hurt. What
is considered fair estimate promises
q crop of 10000 cars of apples for the
Yakima valley as against $4,000 to Is,
600 cars in 1925 and 1926. This esti-
mate is probably fairly accurate for the
Wenatchee valley. The conditions in
those &stficts are similar to those
here. On the higher ground and in or
chards where heating was done, the in
dications are for good yield while in
lower ground and where heating was
not done it will run from nothing in
the way OF a commercial crop to
lair yield. Pears promise larger
Yield in beth of these districts than in
this valley and in some sections there
will be partial soft fruit crop.
while there is danger Of further frost
damage for the next two or three
weeks, Weather Forcaster A. w. Cook
ct kennewick, who was in White
bluffs Tuesday, said there was nothing
IN the weather conditions to cause
worry for the next three or four days.

-Froper use CT electricity on

IF it is possible to keep the bird

lights, moulting will be prevented in

the best price. No experimental work
has been done at the State College
station, but reports of experiments in
other states, and observations made
on our own flock, would indicate that
the increase in egg production due to
artiticia! hgnt is at least Is per cent.
Several years of experience at the
Slate College has proven that electri-
cal incubation is practical and eco

WHY A.RPLANEsp

Beginning June 10, it will be
perfectly legal to drive a car at the
speed Of 40 miles an hour on our
public highways. The new speed
law will make little difference neither
to the cautious motorist nor to the
speed demon. The cautious one
has no need of speed regulation
but by his very caution has always
obeyed traffic laws and the speeder
has never obeyed them and probably
never will.
