BRIDGE HAS
GOOD CHANCE
FRATT SAYS
Item Deemed Sufficient for
Purchase of Kennewick-
Pasco Toll Bridge Will
Probably be Inserted

Negotiations for the purchase of
the Kennewick-Pasco toll bridge
have a good chance to be started
soon by the state, according to Dill
ler Fratt, who has just returned
from Olympia, where he went as a
representative of the Commercial
Club. When Mr.. Frat left Olympia
it was expected that an item,
deemed sufficient by members of
the house and senate concerned in
the purchase of the bridge, would
be inserted in the budget, to buy
the toll bridge.
Mr.. Fratt reported that A. R.
Gardner, former editor of the
C Courier-Reporter, was one of the
most enthusiastic supporters of
the bridge project and that Julius
Hubbel of Ellensburg, a member of
the road and bridge committee of
the House, was working as hard
as possible for the bridge as was
also C. F. Stimson, joint senator
of Franklin and Walla Walla coun-
ties, w. L. Dimmick, joint senator,
year as assistant manager. Mr..
III. Olsen of Pasco and Knute Hill
of Prosser, both state representa-
tives.

BEGIN WORK ON
MUNICIPAL FIELD
Fifteen Acres of City Airport Be
ing Cleared for Class "A Airfield;
Halletts to Build Hangar

Work started Monday on clear
ing fifteen acres of Kennewick's
municipal airport. While the city
purchased 100 acres for the air
field, only about Is are being de-
veloped at this time. However, the
airport which is now being pre-
pared will meet all the specifica .
tions of a class A airport, accord
ing to the specifications of the De-
partment of Commerce. It will be
400 feet long by $500 feet wide
making landing possible for -.
largest transport ships.
The shape of the field with its
gentle slope, it's visibility and its
atmospheric conditions make it an
excellent field, according to Will
liam Hallett, who was in town yes
terday. The Halletts expect to
build the hangar for their airplane
soon and it will be constructed so
as to face south.

DIR. RUE'S PRACTICE
Resident of Pasco for Last Four
Months Moves Practice to
Kennewick Monday

DR.. H. jackson Capell arrived

assume DR.. George HI. Rue's prac-
tice here. DR.. Capell will retain

MUST CLEAN UP
SAN JOSE SCALE
County Infection Most Serious
Experienced in Many Years,
According to Starcher

The San Jose scale infestation
in Benton county during the 1928
season was the most serious ex-
perienced by the industry for many
years, according to Doyle B.
Starcher, district horticultural in
spector. This true, not only in Ben
ton county, but also in all apple
districts of the state where the in
sect has been known to exist. One
man, in charge of a commercial
packing plant, estimated the Gull
age due to San Jose scale as high
as ten per cent of the crop; while
in some crops, 80 to 80 per cent of
the fruit was affected.
1t is very evident that something
must be done to eliminate this
great loss.
Much of the scale in the COM
mercial crop comes into the or
chard late in the season from scale
infested trees nearby that have not
been sprayed. The horticultural de-
partment is, at the present time,
working on the problem of elimi-
mating these neglected orchards.
Many of the neglected orchards
are owned by non-residents and
sometimes it is very difficult to
convince them that the trees are of
no value. However, we are getting
number of the pest holes clean
ed-up.
Another factor causing the great
increase of San Jose scale infest-
alton last season was the lack OF
thoroughness of growers in apply
ing the dormant spray. Much OF
the poor spraying was due to the
windy weather that occurred dur
ing the spraying period.
If lime and sulphur is used as
the dormant spray, apply a solu-
tion testing at least 4 degrees
Baume 6 degrees in case of heavy
infestation.) When using an oil
spray, apply solution having an
actual oil content of at least A per
cent. But whether lime or sulphur
or an oil spray is used, thorough
ness in the application should be
stressed, with special attention be-
ing paid to covering the tips of the
branches.
If the growers who have neglect
ed orchards near them will write
to the horticultural department at
Prosser, regarding these places, or
get in touch with the deputy hort
icultural Inspector in their dis
trict, we will endeavor to clean up
these "pest holes" for them.

POTATO ACREAGE
INDICATED HERE
QUESTIONABLE Replies Indicate that
Local Paintings Will Be
Some Smaller

Thirteen additional reports have
been received on intention to plant
early potatoes since report was
made last week. The total number
reporting to date are 96, indicating
intention to plant 43S acres of
early potatoes. A check of the
questionaires received, show that
20 of the SO reporting, report that
they did not intend to plant any
potatoes this spring, leaving the 81
remaining growers then, planting
the 438 acres.
The QUESTIONABLE was sent to 377
and the number reporting to date
is approximately % per cent. Of
the number returning Iuestion-
naires, 80 per cent have indicated
no intention to plant. Just how
many remaining growers receiving
the QUESTIONABLE, intend to plant
and the acreage they intend to
plant is the big question at this
time. If the percentage for those
still not reporting were to report
as have those returning question
naires, it would mean that the
acreage would run better than 100
acres this year for the two counties
as compared to 1900 acres for Ben
ton county last year. The reports
available at this time are being
sent to Mr.. Denee of the Crop Re-
porting Service, to ask Just how
ne would report upon the informa-
tion that we have.
The QUESTIONABLE included re-
port on eight crops and while no
attempt was made to select grow
ers of these other crops, but rather
sending the list to the early DO
tato growers of last year, the re-
port from the replies received
should be worth some considera-
ton. Those reporting indicate in
tention to plant az acres of can't
aloupes; IL 1-2 acres of early let
tuce; Is acres of tomatoes; 16
acres OF onions; 62 acres OF water
melons; 62 acres of fall lettuce;
% acres of spinach and 161 acres
of late potatoes.
To date, reports received, include
13 from Pasco, from Ringold, 10
from Richland, 10 from Benton
City, a from Prosser, IL from
White Bluffs and Hanford and 45
from the Kennewick district. Ac-
cording to Truck Crops News Fore
cast of February 81, 1929, sent to
us by Mr.. Denee, agricultural sta
tistician stationed at Seattle, Cal
ifornia intends to plant but 81 per
cent of the crop planted last year,
which is down practically to her
crop of 1924 and 1925. During the
past five years intentions to plant
as reported, have averaged 80 per
cent of final acreage for Cali
fornia.
