FIFTY CARS
OF PEACHES
ARE SHIPPED
Total Crop This Year Not
as Large As Was Ex-
pected-P e ar Season
About Finished Apples
Come Soon.

Over fifty straight cars of
peaches containing 1860 crates
each will be shipped from Kenne-
wick this year. The harvest is
drawing to a close this week and
by Monday or Tuesday finis will
be written on the 1928 season.
Of the total crop of the COM
munity the Big Y expects. to
handle twenty cars or more while
the K. Lane Johnson warehouse
will ship in the neighborhood of
thirty. This is not as large a
peach crop as was anticipated
earlier in the year.
This week saw practically the
end of the pear season. DeAnjou
pears are still being packed at the
Big Y but not in sizeable quaint
ties. Bartlett pears have generally
made a satisfactory yield and the
price has been average.
Perry and Combelic have the
largest single block of peaches in
this district. From their 20 acre
orchard on the highlands, this
year they expect 10000 crates or
about sixteen carloads. While the
yield this year has been disap-
pointing to many, as Manager
Desgranges of the Big Y pointed
out today it is better to have a
moderate crop and a fair price
than to have huge crop and no
price at all.
The warehouses of Kennewick
have been kept busy for The last
several weeks. The Big Y at pres
ent is working two crws of from
80 to 35 each and in the near fut-
ure will start a third crew to care
for the incoming Jonithans.

entertaining.

that the parents and people of
Kennewick will turn out to see
what it has been doing for the kid
dies of the town this summer, and
it believes that the citizens Of this
community will approve.

BUILDINGS TO
BE USED THIS
YEAR LISTED
Four Buildings to be Er-
ected on Fair Grounds
for This Year-Will
Ask That Labor Be Do
mated.

Four buildings 80 to 40 feet
wide and so to 20 feet long will be
erected on the fair grounds to
house the exhibits at this years
community fair. Such was the de-
cision of the grounds committee
and superintendents of the Fair
Association when they met last
week to discuss exhibit space nee
essary this fall. Every superin-
tendent with the exception of one
was present and outlined the space
he felt he needed.
A building 3Ox6O will be needed
to house the dairy cattle which
farmers and club members of the
county are planning to. bring in.
For the poultry sheep and hogs,
it was felt that another building
of the same size would be neces-
sary in which to house the
horticultural exhibits, it was fig
ured that building 34x64 or per-
haps longer would be necessary to
take care of the community
booths,, individual farm displays
and the individual exhibits in hor-
ticulture; fruit vegetables, and
grains and forages. Another build
ing 3Ox7O was felt necessary to
house home economics including
canning baking, Horticulture needle
work, arts and crafts, antiques
and curios, and possible honey ex-
hibits.
The building program IS to pc
started immeditely and labor will
be handled as far as possible thru
work bees.
Considerable enthusiasm is be-
ing shown in regard to the Fair
at this time and with the plans
for buildings now under way, the
community should be on the way
to an excellent program.

BIG RACE FOR
BOYS AT THE
STATE FAIR
Handsome Automobiles
: to be Presented Win
ners of the ''Doggone'
Handicap at Yakima,
September IL.

If you are boy with q dog
read this and read it to the dog. Be-
cause.it's one of the keenest things
that's ever struck this valley and
it's all on the level, cross our
hearts an hope to die!
There's going to be a race at
the Washington State fair in
Yakima on Wednesday September
II. That's Valley day and Apple
day and every big kind of a day,
and there's to he this race called
the ''Doggone Handicap" That's
the biggest of all because It's for
boys and dogs. Their own dog or
somebody's dog. Anybody's dog
so long as it can run.
It's to be for boys about nine OF
ten years old up to is. Every guy
has to have his hound on six
foot leash so they can keep up with
each other. And the littlest chaps
get a head start and the middle
sized ones come next and the long
tall boys are in the thirdIine That'e
the handicap part of the deal
Then the race is run on the track
in front of the grandstand and the
boys that bring their dogs or the
dog that bring their boys across
the tape first are to get-gee, we
can hardly wait to tell you!-get
car for prizes. Yeah cars, real
ones that tick as pretty as any
thing and can go like sixty! And
all painted red and yellow. No toy
stuff aJutomo5iles with capital
A that'll take you whizzing any
where any time.
The first two or three winners
draw the knockout prizes but the
guys that put their running mates
in next get prizes, too, and they'll
be worth running for.
Start training old Bozo right
now. Even if he can outrun any
thing you know of that goes on
dog legs, get him used TO stopping
and starting on signal and all that.
Play the victrola real loud for him
so he won't mind the band in the
grandstand and gang up lot Of
the neighborhood dogs every day
in your back yard SO hell be used
to crowd when the big race
comes. Your mother may not show
a keen craving for these prelinl-
mary measures but when you ex-
plainsto her how important it is
she'll be reasonable.
Begin arranging now about get
ting your dog to the fair toos If
the folks don't want him to ride
in the car with the rest of yuu,
fix him crate or good safe
carrier on the running board. Don't
let anything happen to him be-
cause without him you can't quail
fy even though you may be the
speediest sprinter in the Yakima
valley.
