Nearly Ruined

Thousands of children are robbed
of their birthright of health and
happiness by awful constipation.
Waste matter held too long in
their bowels forms poiSonS which
pollute their blood, cause head
aches, bad breath, coated tongue,
indigestion, biliouSneSs, make
them weak, sallow, fretful and
underweight.
Don't let your child suffer from
constipation until his stomach and
bowels are weakened. At the first
sign of bad breath, coated tongue
or feverishneSS, stop his trouble
quick with California Fig Syrup.
Children love its rich, fruity taste.
It cleans them out thoroughly,
regulates stomach and bowels and
gives these organs tone and
strength so they continue to act
normally Of their own accord.
Thousands Of Washin gton
mothers are eager to tell of their
experience with it. Mrs. John A.
Spellbring, 1909 ! st., NE, says:
MY little son, william, was nearly
ruined by weak bowels before I
began giving him California Fig
Syrup. He was sallow, bilious,
half-Sick all the time. Now he's
strong and well and full of life.
Since this experience I've kept
California Fig Syrup in the house
all the time for colds and any up
set spells"
Protect your child from imita-
tions of California Fig Syrup. See
that the carton you get bears the
word California"

the tassel on the end has unique
educational value. Persons VINO
milk cows and come in contact
with the tassel have vocabularles
of peculiar and impressive force.
The cow has two stomachs. The
one on the ground floor is used
as a warehouse and has no other
function. When this one is filled,
the COW retires to a quiet place
where her ill manners will occa-
sion no comment and devotes her
self to belching. The raw mater
| ial thus conveyed for the second
time to the interior of her face is
pulverized and delivered to the
auxiliary stomach, where it is con-
| verted into cow.
The COW has no upper plate. All
of her teeth are parked in the low
er part of her face. This arrange
ment was perfected by an effic-
iency expert to keep her from
cumming things up. AS a result
she bites up and gums down.
The male cow is called bull
and is lassoed along the Colorado
fought south of the Rio Grande,
and is shot in the vicinity of Ken
newick.
A slice of COW is worth 8 cents
in the cow, IA cents in the hands
of packers, and s2.40 in a restaur-
ant that specializes in atmosphere.

FARM MARKET DAY

VIRTUALLY 1900 persons view
' ed the college on wheels" the
Farm Market train, last Saturday.
Many of this number expressed
their interest in the exhibits and
lectures and their appreciation for
the time and money expended by
the business men of Kennewick IN
bringing this train to this commune
ity.
The fact that such a large per-
centage of farmers turned out to
see the train made the merchants
feel well repaid for their efforts
in bringing the train to Kenne-
wick. In community, which is es-
sentially rural, anything which aids
the farmer to improve his bust
ness is of vital interest to the dis
trict.
Such community endeavors as
the Farm Market train brings the
farmers and business men closer to
gether. 1t makes men realize that
they must cooperate and work to-
gether to realize their mutual am
billions for the district.

ORCHARD HEATING AND FROST

Local Nurseryman Writes Communication on Conditions

: .
AS a property owner and nurs-
ervman of Kennewick, / naturally
want to see the country prosper
GUS. Most countries, like individ-
nails. make mistakes and have to
back up and have to start over
again. That is good deal the
way with Kennewick. We are all
of us looking and trying to get
started on some money making
scheme. We get knocked out with
hard luck, but next year when the
weather turns off just right we
all take hope again. We read about
great storms, and floods, and var
Gus other calamities in other parts
of the world and are thankful we
escaped. But still most OF us re-
main poor no matter how hard we
work or how well we plan.
Yet I believe it is possible fol
us to still do a little better e
more thorough in our work ane
business, and eliminate the bad
chances. It looks to me like oui
worst enemies here at Kennewick
are the winter cold and the spring
frosts, (baring, of course, the
Esprit of the devip' that got into
our marketing organizations last
year, -.
The winter cold is bound to DRIFT

vigor and maturity of fruit trees

year. Spring frosts can be success
fully heated against. And our
worst enemy, the overflow sales
organizations, can be eliminated
any time the farmers get sense
enough to deal only with cooper
alive organizations that cooper
ate among themselves.
But to come back to the general
broad-side of the situation OF try
ing to make the most of it, will
call attention to California, that
has just had one of the worst
frosts of it's history and cite the
lesson of orchard heating they
have been learning for years. Also
I wish to say that with SO much OF
the California fruit out of compe-
tition and with their sights high
on prices, that Kennewick Growers
should receive good prices for all
their early fruit this year.
You will find two articles here
with from a California farm paper,
the leading and most up-to-date
horticultural and agricultural paper
of the country. One deals with or
chard heating and the other, the
extent of the frost damage.

Orchard Heating

sThere is only one dependable
way to fight frosts in the orchard,
and that is by the use of orchard
heaters. Growing covercrops will
ordinarily raise the temperature
about a degree. In border line or
chards on certain nights, this may
be of immense help, but ordinarily,
where frost hazard exists, an or
chard should install heaters any
way. The margin of safety isn't
enough. Moreover, if the frost haz-
ard extends until May 1st, it isn't
good farming to allow the cover
crop to grow that late. The same
applies in part to water. Running
water has helped save many a
crop, especially of tender vege-
tables. We have no definite infor-
nation available on freshly irri-
gated land, but will assume that a
muddy condition in the orchard
and the increase in humidity that
results, will raise the temperature
slightly as does the covercrop. But
all of these margins are so small,
and so impractical in many cases
as to rule them out of dependable
ity. Fire and heat. There lies the
real help, and no group is better
qualified to testify than the great
citrus industry which suffered re-
peatedly, and of late has been re-
peatedly saved.
"The cost of heating depends IN
part upon the quantity and type
of equipment used and the dura-
ton of firing. In emergencies,
many fruit growers have used oiu
tin cans to good advantage, any
thing that will hold oil. But sucn
equipment is make-shift at best'
! and the installation of modern
eo,,;nment is advised. Heaters
rance IN cost from 80 to 40 cents
. niece to some or Z dollars, the
cbeaner heaters being of the lard
nail type, the latter being the en-
Closed stack type, ranging in cost
from, a couple of dollars upward.
On the ordinary decidious fruit or
chard, where the hazard extends
over about 6 weeks and the value
of the crop is nominal, the lowest
investment in equipment is usually
considered best. AS result, most
ldecidious fruit growers have lean
ed toward the lard-pail type heat
ers. They are distributed one per
tree, usually with heavy bank of
| heaters on the outer cold side of
the orchard.
"Thus, 20 ten-quart heaters per
acre, at say 40 cents, would cost
| $28. Then there is other necessary
equipment, such as oil storage
! tanks, tank wagons, torches, etc.,
the cost of which will depend upon
! the size of the orchard and the in

genuity of the grower IN purcnas,
ing skiIIfully or utilizing old
equipment. Another ten to twenty
dollars per acre will probably buy
all of this accessory equipment.
Smudge oil has cost between five
and six cents gallon in most dis
tricts. Two gallons of oil in a pot
will burn for about seven or eight
hours with the spiders over the
tops, or about hours, if complete
ly open. Many orchards are equip
ped with the 5-quart size, which
will burn for 2 LIZ to 8 hours. In
round figures, a gallon consumed
| in two hours will cost about cents
per pot fuel per hour, or $1.20 per
(acre per hour. If total of 10 hours
of firing is necessary in season,
the fuel cost will be $21 per acre.
Doing some more mental gymnas-
tics, we note that two tons of
peaches or one of apricots should
pay for the equipment, and a ton
of peaches or half-ton of april
cots may pay the per-acre cost OF
about 10 hours Of heating. Labor IS
an additional item, of course.
aBut the overhead must be fig
ured as an annual charge against
the orchard whether frost occurs
or not. A. 10 per cent depreciation
on a total of $50 worth of equip
ment per acre is SIS. Interest OF o
per cent against the same IS an
other SO, or total overhead OF 30
per acre per year to charge against
the ranch.
"These figures are only average
and approximate, offered to give
readers a general idea OF costs
put not calculated to gnat's eye
brow for any single set of con-
ditions, and apply, of course, to
the decidious fruit orchard only.
Occasionally there are orchards
where frosts hit so seldom that
an Investment in heating equip
ment is hardly warranted. But, to
quote government authority, "The
number of such cases is smaller
than would appear at first
thought" A frost loss one year IN
five is considered ample justifica-
ton for heating equipment by a
great many growers. Five years of
overhead at our sample figure
would total $40 per acre. Suppose
the cost in labor and oil during the
one cold seasan is $50 in round fig
ures. The total charge against that
fifth crop would be $40 per acre.
Make it 500 and still many fruit
crop thus saved would justify the
5-year cost. Distribution over 5
years, the per acre insurance
charge would be $14 to $50 per
year."
Frost in Dollars and Tons
at was the worst frost in 16
years. About one-third of the ex-
pected 1929 tonnage of decidious
fruits and nuts was wiped out. AS
so happens, the smaller crop may
actually be worth more money than
the larger crop.

liminary study of the agricultural

 The handles used in the manufac- ture of the tools are of the best sec ond growth ash, specially selected wood. These are finished in a mod ernlstc style, the handles being all colors of the rainbow.
 A new set of tools are used in the manufacture Of the product and they are all perfect examples of what q carpenters hammer should be.
 The hammers are just going on the market and although they will not take the place of tools which are being used all over the world by car penters in every land and in every cline, they have been designed as a gift item for the dealers in Stanley products for their customers.
 One salesman, thinking that he could promote their sales, took a batch of them on the road and, al though new and absolutely unknown to the trade, his stock was gone in the space of three weeks and orders are pouring in for more. Beauty and service combined make the pro- duct one that should prove to be de- sirable.

NAHER IS HELD
 IN BOOTH DEATH
New Haven Man Will Be in
 PlainyilIe Court Today
Special to the Heraldl


 plainville. Oct. l9-ACCording to a finding made yesterday by Coroner J. Gilbert Calhoun, John J. Maher of New Haven should be held crim- lnallY responsible for the death of Captain Frederick NJ Booth, late of the New Haven Grays, in an auto mobile accident in Plainville on Sep tember 23. Maher will be tried in the town court this afternoon at ? o'clock to answer to a charge of criminal negligence. Judge Merritt O. Ryder will be on te bench. Prosecutor Charles F. Conlon will represent the state.
 Coroner Calhoun's statement was as follows;
 'I am unable 10 excuse Maher for the way in which the car was driven for he should have known that he was on the trolley tracks and should have moved 10 the right when the car was approaching. l think that his driving on the trolley track and running into the trolley was exceed ingly reckless and negligent driv- ing"
 Maher was the alleged driver of Booths car when 1t collided with trolley car, instantly killing Booth. The other passengers of the car be- sides Booth and Mahcr were Harold N. Dorr and William L. Graham, both of New Haven. They were re- turning from a reunion of the New Haven Grays at Lake Compounce when the fatal crash occurred.
 Naher was badly injured in the crash and was confined to the Bris. tol hospital for a number of weeks. He denies being the driver of the car at the time of the accident but Plalnville authorities claim to have proof to disprove Maher's statement.
