Is THIS THE FOURTH?

WHERE is the much-toutee
w energy of the American peo-
ple? Where are the parades, the
fireworks, the races, the picnic
Where is our Fourth of July cele.
bration?
Yes, they were all about the
same. It was always to hot to DC
anywhere near comfortable. The
children got lost in the crowd OF
deathly sick on the pink lemonade
you ruined your best white shoes
you spent lot of money on 1000
you didn't want, you were tlrec
and cross when you got home.
But, You knew it was the FOURTH
of july, the best day of the year
next to Christmas. What it you
were hot and bothered? 1t provid-
ed a needed break in the routine
of work, it provided q subject for
conversation for the rest OF TIE
summer, it gave you chance TO
get together in a familiar way with
your fellowcountrymen. It was
a recognition of our nations birth
day.
Today we will go off on family
picnics, take in the show, or sit
around on the shady porch with
nothing to do worth while. We may
think rather scornfully of the days
when we used up our pep working
mp big time for the Fourth weeks
ahead. We may be greatful that
we haven't enough public spirit to
dash around in the sun and dust
all day and call it fun.
But well be missing something
The spirit of friendship and CO.
operation, upon which community
life depends, will be gone from the
Fourth of July.

When the government appoints a
committee on tariff or farm re-
lief, they make it a point to put on
men who know little about tariff
or farm relief, going on the prin-
cipal, we suppose, that those that
know the subject don't need the
experience.

INDIVIDUAL TREES MAY
NEED ATTENTION

chardist to go over his orchard
j tree by tree, and study the thrift.
Iiness or lact of thrift of these trees
and follow a program such as will
bring about a thrifty condition OF
those trees which seem to lack this
There has been quite little win
ter injury in the various parts OF
the state, according to DR.. F. D.
Head, plant pathologist at the
State College, to whom specimens
of apples from communities of the
county were taken for diagnosis of
the trouble. DR.. Head reported that
specimens such as those taken to
him had been sent in from all parts
of the state including the west
side. Many of the trees showing
this winter injury in the orchards
If examined, will show a lack of
thriftiness although this may not
always be the case.
Mr.. Armstrong recommended
particularly that such trees be
treated with special APPLICATIONS of
fertilizers to bring about a more
thrifty condition. Just recently a
letter was directed to DIR. Magness,
head of the department of horti-
culture at the college, asking him
in regard to the APPLICATION of nj
trate fertilizers to trees showing
this drought injury on the fruit.
This drought injury by the way,
according to DR.. Head, is an evil
dence of failure of the tree to Sc
cure sufficient water to carry the
eaf and fruit load, and consequent
ly, the fruit suffers first and the
injury occurs. This injury may be
the result of winter injury or might
possibly be due to lack of suffic-
lent water at some not too distant
time.
In reply to our question as to
whether nitrate fertilizers would
help this condition, DR.. Magness
replied as follows: 81 believe tine
question of whether those trees
should be fortified or not at this
time will depend upon the amount
of growth that the individual trees
are making, or have made. If the
main terminals show growth Of
10 to ID inches, it would indicate
that new wood and new conducting
tissues has been laid down suffic-
iently to care for the needs of the
trees for next year. On the other
hand, if the terminal growth is
short and if the foliage is of poor
color, APPLICATIONS of nitrogen
should help to increase the conduct
ing tissues for another season. |
believe if you base your recon-
mendations for nitrogen applica-
ton on the amount of growth the
trees are making, your recommend
tions will be sound" Mr.. Jensen
of the Prosser station also reports
that the use of some nitrate fer
tilizers at this season of the year
might be of some assistance to the
plant in overcoming this trouble.
We would not recommend more
than two to two and half pounds
of ammonium sulphate per tree un-
less the tree is very large or two
and half to three pounds of ni-
trate of soda. We do not believe
that it will make much difference
as to which of these fertilizers are
used since the weather will be
warm and soil bacteria active. We
have applied the Ammonium sui
plate on the home lawn and find
that the results Of fertilization can
be noticed within a week to ten
days.

Five French military aviators were
killed at the Avord aviation field
last night. their bombing plane

there were many efforts TO obtain
fleeing glimpses into the docu-
ments, but the Gordon Of secrecy
which the committeeman had
thrown around their product was
u~nbroken. All that could be
learned-and that was understood
from the beginning-was that many
