FIRST CAR OF
1928 APPLES
SOLD DITUESDAY
Yellow Transparents Grown
by Lee Lampson Bring Big
Prices for Summer Apples
Large Crop of Soft Fruit
Starting Soon.

The first car of this years ap-
pies was shipped from Kennewick
Tuesday of this week. The entire
load came from the Lee M. Lamp
son orchard east of town and con-
sisted .of Yellow Transparents on
ly. The Denver market took the
shipment and the apples were "face
and fill' for which price of 1925
fob. Kennewick was received.
This is the highest price ever
receiver for summer apples in the
Northwest, it is believed. and the
shipment was made earlier than
ever before in the history of the
industry.
Another carload will be shipped
tomorrow, according to Mr.. Lamp
son. The third car will be all his
own product, too, though the one
tomorrow is a pool car.
Apricots are beginning to come
in already; the first full carload
will 90 out Friday or Saturday
of this week. It is expected that
ten or a dozen cars will be ship
ped of this fruit. Peaches will
start moving within short time.
There is fine crop in this sec
tion.

With his head and arms burned

known to his neighbors as William
Peffercorn was found lying in the
doorway of his flaming home two
miles north of Richland early Wed

Deputy Sheriff Chet MCGEE was
Immediately notified. He and the
county coroner took charge of the
body and went carefully over the
details. An inquest, they decided
was not necessary.
People can only conjecture what
caused the tragic end of the old
man. The deceased was 80 years
of age, and had lived alone on his
little five acre ranch north of town
for II years. He never went any
where, or had any company and
no means are known of telling
whether the occurrence was sui

GROWERS GET
GOOD YIELDS
OF CHERRIES
Kennewick- Richland Grow
One-third of Valley Crop
Williams Has 125 Tons-54
Trees Produce z Tons.

The Observation-Disclosures dis
trict this year has produced near
ly one-third of the cherries grown
in the Yakima Valley. The entire
yield of the valley, according to
figures compiled by the Yakima
Republic, is estimated at around
300 cars. Of this number S5
straight cars We're rolled from
Kennewick. Comparative figures
of the past nine years indicate the
1928 crop is the largest ever re-
corded ( Almost without excep-
tion the records show an increase
in production of cherries year af-
ter year.
In 1919 there were rs cars from
the valley; in 1920 SS cars; in 1921
142 cars; in 1923 240 cars; In
1922 and 1927 there were almost
complete crop failures.
Wallace Williams, who has ar
orchard of 20 acres here consist
ing of 100 trees, finished his
harvest last week and is enthus.
iastic over the results. When the
harvest was completed it was
found that 125 tons had left the
orchard. Conservative estimates
place Mr.. Williams net returns al
about $4,000 for the crop. Many
of the pickers employed by Mr.
Williams profitted also by the ex-
cellence of the cherry quality and
some were reported to have made
as high as $40 per day during the
harvest.
Mckinley Desgranges, who has
a small plot of cherries at his
home here also has something to
crow about. Off of 81 trees OF
Lamberts, Mckinley picked seven
tons of cherries. r. r. Wooden is
reported to have received 400 lbs.
from one tree.
Other orchards in the valley re-
port yields of equal proportions,
with hardly any growers report
ing a crop that was Disappointing.

Prominent Doctor-G O o d
for Digestion and Health in
General.

The dictum, "an apple a dav

changed to, "an apple meal will

York, who has announced that
the apple is one of the best dentri-
fices extant.

with its tough peel. is valuable as

The more natural food. the
cleaner are the teeth and other
parts of the digestive system.
Here in Washington, then, we

and in the Orient apples from our

Because of their high vitanine

can be adapted, perhaps, more
than any other fruit, to wide var

NEW KINDS OF
p ASSURE IS
GIVEN TRIAL
Experiment Station at Pros
ser Tries Out Irrigated
Pasture Land-Results
Good but Careful Attention
Required.

The increasing interest of irri-
cation farmers in dairy cattle and
other livestock in general means
that more and more irrigated land
will grow pasture crops in the
future and that the carrying capa-
city of present pastures will be
increased when possible.
In the past there has been a
rather general opinion that only
waste or poor land should be used
for pasture, but this type of land
was not available to all farmers
and some tried using good land.
Their experience and recent ex-
perimental Investigations have
shown that good land can be prof
itably utilized for pasture pro-
viding that the pastures are care
fully managed.
Preliminary pasture investiga-
tions were started at the Irriga-
tion Branch Experiment Station
in 1922 and have been carried on
in a limited way until this year
when a rather extensive pasture
experiment was started. Approx
mately IL acres of the best land
on the station are used in this ex-
pertinent. Seven of this will be
pastured by dairy cattle and the
remaining four by sheep.
The study of the comparative
value Of Biennial White Sweet
clover, biennial yellow sweet Glow
er, and Hubam or Annual White
Sweet Clover, will be continued
with the sheep. A mixed grass and
and a Ladino Glover pasture will
be included in this part of the
experiment.
The work with dairy cattle will
be devoted to a study Of the COM
parative value sof a permanent
sweet clover pature, sweet clover
in a 3-year rotation, Ladino Glow
er and a mixed grass pasture con-
sisting Of Meadow Fescue, tall oat
grass, perennial rye grass, Ken
tucky blue grass. Alsike and
White clover.
All pasture plOIS are dpPAOAi-
mately one acre in size and are
so arranged that shade and water
will be available to the stock at
alf times. The cattle will he re-
moved from the pasture during
milking and will receive grain
feed as supplement. The sheep
will be kept on the pasture con-
tinuously and will receive no sup
Elemental feed.
The plots were sown in the early
part Of May and pasturing will
begin about the first week in
july. Stock. will be on some OF
these plots on the annual Field
Day at the station, Friday, July
20, and many points of interest
about, pasture work will be dis
cussed at that time.

In any event, the fight for the
lieutenant governorship is going
to be worth watching.
Considerable comment was
caused by Johnson's retirement
from the political picture, where
even his critics admit. he doomed
large. Some opposed to him claim
that ne was scared out, while 9TH
ers believe that he was confronted
by the necessity of being all bus
mess or all politics and the he pre-
fered to stick to business. This

terms with johnson for a number
OF years, knows that he has been

ture of his family, especially two

DITCH WILL
BE SHUT OFF
ON JULY Sd
Three Day Period Necessary
to Kill Weeds and Moss
Work Goes Forward on the
Cleanup of Finley Drainage
Ditch.

The night of July 3rd has been
tentatively set aside as the time
for the first turnout of water
from the canals of Columbia Iri-
gatien District. Water will be off,
as usual, for about three days. Il
has been found by experience that
it takes that length of time to
dry out the canals and kill the
growth of water weeds and moss
es that foul them. This weed clean
up restores the carrying capacity
of the canals, lowering the water
level on the banks from 8 to IL
inches and takes us into the hot
dry months Of July and August in
much better shape to make heavy
deliveries. The first turnout last
year was the same date. We were
able to go through till September
18th for the second turnout.
Whether we can do that this year
depends on the season, last year
having been very unfavorable to
the growth, of the water weeds.
Every effort will be made to keep
the water running at full head
with as little interruption as pos
sible.
The county dragline machine is
now engaged in digging the South
Finley drain up the valley south
east, of Fenley. Good progress is
being made, 5000 feet of ditch be-
ing completed the first IL days.
Some very tough digging was en-
countered in the first thousand
feet, boulders in hardpan. The 60
ing since has been in clean soil and
coarse sand at the bottom, fast
and easy to handle. The cost so
far has been about seven cents per
cubic yard. If soil conditions prove
as favorable ahead, the seven
thousand feet of ditch to be dug
by the district will cost about six
hundred dollars.
In passing through the Hedding-
ton and Hobson ranches, the
ground water was found just
about 80 inches below the surface
on about so acres of land in crops.
This ditch draws the level down
to at least four feet, and is al
ready carrying a steady stream of
water down to the Columbia riv-
er.
