4. A. CODDING IS new
SCHOOL DIRECTOR

Due to the fact that he has NOV.
ed to the east side of the Columbia
river, in Franklin county, M. M.
Wiehl has resigned as member OF
the White Bluffs school board altar
several years of faithful service
and County Superintendent Olaf
Strandwold has appointed L. A.
Codding to fill the vacancy. Mr..
Codding was installed at meeting
of the board Wednesday night.
At this same meeting the board
reelected six members of the pre-
sent teaching corps: Superinten-
dent and Mrs. Underhill, Mr..
Granger, Miss Chambers, Miss
Strom and Miss Deye. The board
regretted that it could not keep
Miss Mcdonnell and Miss
Shubert, The former is planning
to teach in Seattle next year and
the latter is going home to be with
her mother who is in poor health.
After their regular inspections,
both the county Superintendent and
the state high school Inspector ex-
pressed themselves as being highly
pleased with the White Bluffs
schools. A letter has also been re-
ceived from the State School Aud
itor complimenting the board on
the financial condition of the dis,
trict.
The board announces that its
policy for the coming year will be
the same as in the past and asks
that any one having suggestions
for the betterment Of the schools,
should bring them to a meeting
of the board for discussion. Also,
if there are any complaints they
should be presented in writing for
consideration and adjustment.

COURT AGAIN FIXES
WATER RATE AT SIS

The pumps at the pumping station
! of the Consumers Ditch Company
were started Monday, April 1. Marvin
Chase, receiver for that company and
the Black Rock Power & Irrigation
company, was here the first of the
week to see that everything was in
order for the beginning of tine irriga-
| ton season
| Because of the low stage of water
in tine Columbia River, the power plant
at Priest Rapids is unable to operate
and It was necessary to purchase
power from the P. P. & L. company
until the river raises sufficiently to
| operate the Priest Rapids power
plant.
Mr.. Chase said an order has been
entered in the District Court fixing
the 1929 maintenance rate at SIS per
acre, the same rate as has obtained
during the season of 1927 and 1928,
for an adequate supply of water.
On third of this SIS, or SIS per acre,
is payable on April is and the other
two-thirds, Of $40 per acre, payable
on June Is.
Mr. Chase said that he hoped to
be able to make substantial reduc-
ton in the water charge this year but
owing to the almost unprecedentedly
low stage of water in the Columbia
River at this time, which necessitates
the buying of power, together with
the further fact that there will be a
reduction in the acreage of land to
be watered under the ditch this sea-
son, and consequence reduction in
revenue, makes it impractical to effect
the reduction in the rate that he had
in contemplation.
The companies, when operating be-
fore the receivership, were obliged,
almost every season, to buy more or
less posser; they, however, during each
season, sold dump power, which more
than Offset the cost of any power
they were obliged to buy. Since the
receivership there has been no demand
for any dump power that the receiver
could have supplied, and hence the
power which he is obliged to buy now
must be paid for by him, and his
revenues correspondingly reduced.
During the irrigation seasons of
1927 and 1928, the water conditions
in the Columbia river were such that
Mr.. Chase was not obliged to buy
power.

SUMMER TRYING TO BREAK
THRU WINTER OUTPOSTS

Following a rather cold and windy
period during the last half of March.
the month of April was ushered in
Monday with bright sun and almost
total absence of any wind. The
change was welcomed by the grow
ers in this valley for two reasons.
First, because the comparatively quiet
atmosphere permitted the application
of the lime-sulphur or dormant spray;
and second, the warmer weather is
apparently melting the snow, in the
mountains and as consequence the
flow of water in the Columbia river
has increased.
During the windy weather it was
almost impossible to apply the dor
mant spray and growers were getting
little worried, as all of the fruit buds
were swelling. Every spray outfit in
the country, it seemed, was on the job
Monday however, and it is quite like
ly that there will be few. if any, of
the orchards that have not had their
annual line-sulphur hath by the end
Of the week.
The fact that the river is rising will
please everybody. This is the first
week in April and in ordinary years
the pumping plants are in operation at
this time. But this has been such
cold, backward spring that nothing is
really needing water now. Nevertheless
every one was glad to note that the
water in the river was raising so that
the pumping plants can soon be start
ed. The intakes of most of the plants
along the river are above the level of
the water ard the river will have to
raise foot or two yet before the
pumping plants can be started. A num-
her of the wells whose stage of water
is apparently affected by the flow in
the Columbia, are also showing an
increased volume of water.
In driving around over the valley
this spring one can not help being
impressed with the splendid appear
ance OF the orchards. The trees all
look neat and trim, showing good
pruning, and there has probably been
more discing done in the orchards
this spring than at any other time in
the history of the valley CONNER
cial fertilizer has also been used more
generally this year than ever before
and if weather conditions are at all
favorable this valley promises to turn
out an exceptional tonnage of high
class fruit.
The fruit buds have developed
enough now SO that fairly accurate
estimate can be made of the softfruit
prospects and, barring possible late
frost damage, it is the general concen-
sns of opinion that the yield will be
around IS per cent of crop. This
estimated tonnage will compare very
favorably with other northwest fruit
districts in some of which sthe spTos-
poets are not nearly SO goodsas in this
valley. 3at

SPRAY TIME ABOUT PAST

The application of the dormant
spray should be completed as soon
as possible This is especially true
in case dormant oil is tile spray to
be used. Last year the delayed dor
mant oil spray on apples caused
considerable damage to the trees in
some districts. In most instances
where damage occurred, the fruit buds
failed to blossom and dried up, but
in some instances the trees were
practically defoliated. This was es-
pecially true on Winesap trees in the
Wenatchee district.
Aphids are numerous this year in
some orchards. The dormant oil
spray is effective against them. AS
Lime-Sulfur kills but few aphids,
those who spray with it may wish to
add Nicotine Sulphate. Nicotine-Sul-
phate to be effective should be applied
when the weather is warm, as the
killing properties are increased as
it volatilizes.
For the peach growers vino have
orchards infested with the Peach Twig
Borer, Lime Sulfur spray is recon-
mended. If peach aphis is a problem,
as it is in most peach orchards
this year, Nicotine Sulphate should be
used in combination with the Lime
Sulfur. AS Nicotine-Sulphate is rather
expensive, growers who have only
slight aphid infestation, may wish to
apply a summer oil sray later in the
season. Summer oil should not follow
Lime Sulfur earlier than the date OF
the third cover spray. Oil applied on
the Lime-Sulfur residue drives the un-
oxidized sulfur into the trees causing
injury.
An oil-arsenate of lead combination
has beer used by some growers tor
Peach Twig Borer and Aphid con-
troll and is less expensive than the
Lime Sulfur Nicotine, but, as yet, is
just an experiment and cannot be
recommended by this office.
Red Spider is most effectively con-
trolled by destroying the eggs will,
an application of dormant oil spray.
Summer oil or summer strength
Lime Sulfur will give partial control
of Red Spider after the Red Spiders
have Matched, but in case of severe
infestation the previous year, use
dormant oil to destroy the eggs.
Apply the dormant spray as soon
as possible and be thorough in the
application.

that no matter how careful people are
of their health, diet and exercise, con.
stipation will occur from time to time.
Of next Importance, then, is how to treat
it when it comes. DR.. Caldwell always
was in favor of getting as close to nature
as possible, hence his remedy for constl-
patton is mild vegetable compound. II
can not harm the most delicate system
and is not habit forming.
The Doctor never did approve of dras-
tic physics and purges. He did not believe
they were good for human beings to put
into their system. Use Syrup Pepsin for
yourself and members of the family in
constipation, biliousness, sour and Granny
stomach, bad breath, no appetite, head
aches, and to break up fevers and colds.
Get bottle today, at any drugstore and
observe these three rules of health: Keep

More Barley Should Be-
Be Cultivated for Stock

Those who have studied the yields
of oats and barley over "a period of
years are of the opinion that, except
for sections where chinch bugs are
bad or the soils sandy, barley should
be more generally grown with cor
responding reduction in the acreage
of oats. Figure this out for your own
community. Take the average yield Of
loats and of barley and reduce this to
pounds. Then subtract from this the
80 per cent hull which is found in
oats and the Is per cent common to
barley. This will give the hull-free
grain per acre which on the average
will he from % to so per cent in IA
yor of barley.
