Thursday, Wall Street received the an
nouncement of decrease from to 5
per cent in the New York Federal
Reserve rediscount rate, the drop of
more than one billion dollars in Federal

breaking decline of more than two

MOTH SPRAYING

Districts Using Lead Arsenate to
Save Orchards are Untr0ubled
by Caterpillar

Control measures taken against
the codling moth also combat the
tent caterpillar, according to a
statement given out this week by
zoology department. of the state
College. Reports from fruit or
ehards in higher attitudes, un-
troubled by and unprepared for
the codling moth, say that the cat
erplllar is causing heavy damage.
I'm the lower fruit centers, such
as Yakima, Wenatchee and Clark
ston,' says F. E. Whitehead, as
Instant professor of zoology, ssno
report of the caterpillar has been
received. This can be explained by
the fact that the same control
measures used to fight the codling
moth KEEP down the tent cater
pillar.
In those districts where regu-
lar applications of lead arsenate
are used, orchardists are not

LAST CHERRY
CARS SHIPPED
Early Potatoes Fail to Bring
Expected Price; Apples
Going at $1.50

Cherry shipping is nearly over
for the Three Rivers this season,
according to Lee Lampson, man
aeer. With one more truckload
from White Bluffs, it will be COM
pleted. One car was routed to
Minneapolis Monday, bringing 25
cents a pound, top price.
Three Rivers started on new po-
tatoes last week. Prices do not
look so high now as when they be-
gan. due to unexpected competi-
ton from California growers
However, Lampson said. the south
en crop may not last more than
q week or ten days at the end OF
which time the price is apt to &c
up.
Yellow Transparent apples are
going out Of this district by the
carload every day. They are com.

WILLIMPROVE
CITY AIRPORT
Commercial Club Backs Stock
Company; Erection of Han
gar First Plan; Bright Fu-
ture for Air

Sponsored by the Kennewick
Commercial club a corporation is
being formed to issue stock for
the improvement of the local air
port. In final form, it will be a
stock company, authorized to is
sue $4,000 worth of certificates.
One of the first things planned
is the erection of a hangar on the
field, providing adequate housing
for the planes. improvements on
the grounds and the purchase Of
equipment will follow.
There is promising possibility
of dividends from this investment,
and the hackers of the project pre-
dict that the principal will be paid
back within a comparatively short
period. This is not, primarily,
profit proposition for the organ
izers. 1t is a community enter
prise, directed at community adj
vancement. The Commercial club
is sponsoring the corporation be-
cause its members believe the de-
velopment of the airport will lead
to the advancement Of the COM
mercial interests Of Kennewick.
Air transportation is in practic-
ally the same situation today that
the automobile business was %
years ago. It's opportunities for
development are better. 1t is the
third radically different means Of
transportation to effect the life of
this country. From 1850 to 1910,
the railroads swayed the finances
and economies of the country. 1910
to 1880 can rightly be called the
automobile age.
Now comes the airplane to SUI
percede them all in speed. The au-
tomobile did not supplant the rail-
road, but indications are that the
airplane may in time take the place
of both, and the steamship also. 1t
is not bound by the limits of rails
or paved roads. 1t has behind it
the experiences of the other two
industries. Profiting by their mis-
takes and successes, air transpor-
tation ought to forge ahead by
leaps and bounds.
Public support of this stock is
sue is urged by the Commercial
club. Money invested in these
stocks will bring double return
dividends and business opportun-
ity.

Ditch Water Will Be
Turned Off on July 3

Water will be turned out of the
canals of the Columbia Irrigation
District on the evening of July 3,
for the annual three-day summer
weed cleanup, stated w. C. Null
drow.
The water weeds reach stage
when dragging and scythe work
was required in the lower bitches
on June IA and the crew has been
kept on that work continuously
since. Since the hot weather came,
it has not been possible to keep
up a steady supply of water at
the extreme ends of the system.
Following their usual habit, these
weeds work steadily upstream, in
volving new ground all the time,
and adding to the ditch mileage
that has to be kept open by drag
ging every few days. Any attempt
to keep running soon produces such
a condition that even large and
expensive extra crew cannot keep
up, and we get into the extreme
weather of July and August with
a ditch that cannot be made to de-
liver a satisfactory water supply
The water will be off the usual
three-day period, so all users
should handle their water with un-
usual care to see that all theil
soft crops are well watered in ad.
