New seedlings of the cover crop
plots have been made this year.
Part of these were made under
shades in order to determine cover
crops most suitable to orchard
shade. A comparison is also being
made regarding the relative value
of sweet clover and alfalfa as COW
er crops. The orchard is used for
irrigation and pruning expert
ments. Results from both will be
apparent on field Day. Il
From the orchard the group
will GO to the alfalfa experiments.
Variental trials are now in their
tenth year. Duty of-water investi-
cations and the fall irrigation Of
alfalfa have shown some very in
teresting results which will be dis
cused. Duty-of-water work is also
under way with potatoes, corn and
wheat. =s.*
Two types of metal flume were
installed this year. Data regarding
the initial cost, upkeep and water
losses of these fumes, as compar-
ed to wooden fumes and various
kinds of pipe, are being obtained:
The last experiment visited VIII
he the nitrogen fertilizer expert
ment. This was started in 1922 on
virgin soil and is now in its ninth
wear. This year the plots are IN
wheat and plot differences are
very apparent. In fact, there Will
probably be increases in yield OF
from at least 400 percent over the
check plots. Anyone who is inter-
ested in fertilizers should not fail
to see these plots.
After the field trip the visitors
will be given an opportunity to see
the livestock. The station main
tains a herd of purebred and grade
Holstein cows, a herd of purebred
Duros Jersey swine, and a flock
Of grade Hampshire sheep. The
stock is used in pasture expert
ments and in utilizing homegrown
feeds. The inspection of the live
stock will complete the itinery at
the station and the men will join

RUST MITE
The following article was pre-
parM by HI. D Desgranges at our
request, since he spent considerable
time with Mr.. beavers while he
was in the territory.
We feel that the recommends
lions made by Mr.. beavers and Mr..
Desgranges are sound and are pub
fishing the item just as sent to US.
'.The Rust Mite on prunes is
proving to be serious pest. While
this pest is not new to entOmolo-
gists is is not generally understood
by the growers and the damages
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1930-07-03

resulting from them has hereto
fore been attributed to Red Spi-
der.
"a. L. beavers, manager of the
Yakima Valley Spray company, ac-
companied by H. w. Desgranges,
manager of the Big "Y", made a
careful examination of number
of prune orchards in various parts
of the district and find them pres
ent in every orchard. While the
damage is not apparen. to the eye
in most cases, there is one orchard
where the damage will approx
mate rs percent and several or
chards where the damage is now
showing on a number of trees.
The damage is first detected by the
curling of the leaves, giving the
appearance of tree suffering of
brought. When this condition ap-
pears it develops very rapidly and
the damage is done beyond repair.
A / percent summer oil spray is
the best control. No damage has
resulted to the fruit by the use of
Orthol-K. Other good summer oil
sprays are probably all right but
care should he used not to use dor
mant oil. as this will burn the
fruit. To be on the safe side, every
prune orchard in the district should
be sprayed. The mite devitallzes
the trees to a point where they
will set light crop for the follow
ing year even thought its effect is
not sufficient to show on the trees
at the present time. s.
"The mite is so small that it
can not be seen with the naked
eve or even with the ordinary
packet glass, but when put under
the microscope, they appear as
large as an aphis and literally hum
dreds are found on a single leaf.
They are mostly found on the I'M
der side of the leaf. Spraying
should be done from the center of
the tree out so as to be sure to
cover the under side of the leaf as
well as the upper. Spray thorough
Nv SO that every leaf is covered.
Contact is necessary to kill.
"These mite are also particular
ly fond of D'Anjou pears. Growers
who have not applied the summer
oil on their pears for the control
of the codling moth should do so
their next spray and kill two birds
with one stone"

JULY 8 is SET
FOR FIELD DAY
Results of Experiments to BE
Shown at PrOsser Exper-
iment Station

There will be something OF IN
terest for everyone who visits the
Irrigation Branch Experiment sta
ton at Prosser on Field Day, Tues
day, July 8. j.:
In order to make tie day more
enjoyable to everyone arrange
ments have been made for picnic
at the Prosser city park following
the field trip at the station. Ac-
cording to previous announcements
all visitors are invited to bring a
basket lunch. The Prosser ,commun-
ity club will furnish hot coffee and
iced tea. Following the lunch there
will be one or two short talks.
The field trip at the station will
start at $50. Visitors will first go
to the cereal trials in which they
will see several varieties of wheat,
oats and barley as well as large
number of hybrid strains of smut
resistant spring wheats.
The pasture plots will be next
in line. Sweet clover, Ladino clo-
yer, mixed grasses and Sudan
grass in one-acre plots are being
studied both with dairy cattle and
sheep. Six years pasture data are
now available. Following the dis
cussion of pastures the crowd will
see seventeen varieties and strains
of field corn, Eight years data on
corn varities will be given.
The work with potatoes will next
receive attention. Twelve strains
of certified Melted Cams from diff
ferent localities in Washington,
Oregon, and Montana are being
grown. Trials are also in progress
regarding the spacing, thinning,
and irrigation of potatoes. Possibly
the most interesting experiment
with potatoes is the fertilizer ex-
pertinent. Nitrogen, phosphorus
and potash have been applied sing
" and in combination for two
years.

CHAPTER I. 4 THWARTED YOUNG MAN

Jacqueline chuckled inwardly as she felt a hand touch hers hesi- tatingly, and then close firmly over it.
 She had waited a moment expec- tantly. She had a faint suspicion that for several weeks past MT. Brown had been trying to propose to her
 But n ct h g happened. MT. Brown continued to stare steadily at the screen and smoke his cigar.
 He smoked it with a desperate earnestness, as if it were thing which had to be done at all costs. With the same desperate earnest ness he continued to clutch her hand, but his attitude rather sug- gested that he did not know he was doing it.
 It seemed to Jacqueline that he had caught hold of her hand in the darkness by accident. Perhaps he thinks it's one of his own," she said to herself.
 For the moment Jacqueline had lost interest in the screen in the

 Now, what on earth does he mean by all that?" murmured Jac- queline inwardly
 A hoarse whisper sounded close to her ear: "Jacqueline, love you"
 It was MT. Brown, but Jacqueline for the moment had forgotten his troubles. She looked at MT Brown vacantly, and said: Put your shirt on Prinkipo tomorrow, my boy, and you'll make a pot"
 "Whatw gasped MT. Brown.
 "Oh, I'm 50 sorry" she returned penitently. "You see those two men just going out-one of them with face like horse?-well, that is what he was saying to his friend just now, and I'm wondering what on earth he means by it. What's the Warwickshire handicap, MT Brown?"

seeing eye, and had promoted her to Models"
 This, from Jacqueline's point of view, was to the good, as it meant an increase of salary. But MT Dells seeing eye gave promise of making itself a nuisance if not re- strained. However, Jacqueline flat tered herself that she could put MT. Dell in his place if necessary.
 MT Brown lived out; Jacqueline lived in. This was the weekly af- ternoon off; and four times in the last fortnight, MT. Brown had asked her to accompany him to a picture show.
 Jacqueline felt that a declaration of some sort was hanging over her; and, as suspense of any kind always worried her, she was determined to bring matters to a crisis this eve ming if possible.
 She put her bare round elbows on the table defiantly, and nibbled piece of cake. The worst of Jacqueline was that when she in- tended to be serious and business like, she could not help looking wistful. At these moments her soft

brown eyes were calculated to play havoc with the emotional economy of any young man between the ages of 20 and 60
 "Attendez, MT. Brown!" she said.
 What" calculated MT. Brown, startled.
 T think it's French" replied Jac- queline. Tt means take notice. Why did you hold my hand like that just now?n
 MT. Brown turned away, and it was quite obvious that he was. in trouble again. Can't I hold your hand?" he asked r
 "Of course you can't, MT. Brown You ought not to need me to tell you that
 "Why have you let me take you out then?" persisted MT. Brown, with a hollow note.
 "Because I've enjoyed it, and I thought you had" q have" s "Very, well then, we're quits" said Jacqueline. T let you take me to the pictures and spend ninepence on my seat because I think it's worth ninepence to anybody to have the pleasure of my society. In fact, it's cheap at ninepence. But that doesn't include holding my hand"
 There was prolonged pause af- ter this. with MT. Brown again wrestling internally with emotional storms So prolonged that Jacque- lines attention wandered.
 Two men had just sat down at the table on her left and the face of one of them fascinated her. It was exactly like the face of a horse.
 If he looks straight at me" she said to herself, I'm absolutely cer- tain I shall say Gee up'!"
 Put your shirt on Prinkipo to- morrow, my boy, and you'n make a pot Jacqueline heard him say. I'm not talking for the sake of making the air hot-I know, my son Got it straight from the horses nosebag."

stress of dominating events. She looked round discreetly.
 Her eyes having become accus- toned to the gloom of the London theatre, she perceived that MT. Brown had cleverly engineered her to an isolated corner.
 She rather thought this must also be an accident MT. Brown did not strike her as a Napoleon Of strategy. But you never could tell about these quiet young men.
 Even a man with chin distinct ly in retreat, like MT. Browns, sometimes had grit and even brains A large experience of life across a drapery counter had taught Jacque- line many things-among others, that chins are very little help as an index of character. She leaned little nearer in the friendly ob- scurity. &
 q don't want to hurry you, MT Brown" she said with added sweet ness, but when you have quite fin ished with my hand I should like | it back again. I want to powder my nose and that takes two hands you know"
 "Huh!" remarked MT. Brown. He did not exactly say it, but threw it out gratuitously into the atmos- lphere, as if he were finished with lit.
 But he released her hand, and Jacqueline performed mystic rites with a dainty little round card board box and little round pad with which she scrubbed her nost unmercifully. Tn the middle of thu operation the lights went out. Jac. queline serenely finished the treat ment.
 They repaired to neighborins tea-ship, Jacqueline looking rathel severe and still a little worried about her nose; MT William Browr in some trouble.
 He was not bad-looking, ever without a chin and that | to say, without any chin wortl talking about. With chin h, would have been approachini handsome. He served at the drap cry counter of Byram's Limited which was officially known as al emporium-Jacqueline had been a the drapery counter once, but late !, ly MT.

believe, but I'm not in touch with racing nowadays I've had my fling at that. It's mugs game"
 But Jacqueline was not to be thwarted There is nothing that surpasses the resistence of woman who is curious. Piecemeal she drew Mir Brown out; with the air of a man who had a lurid past connected with the turf he reluc- tantly answered her questions.
 Girls don't understand racing, |" he said in dismissal. Best thing fer you is to leave it alone, or you'll burn your fingers like I did

crisply You and the boys take them up in your car. I'll follow you. I'm going first for Ma Kane. I've hunch she'll want to be in on this-on account of Sister,"
 "IT say she will" Izzy Myers chuckled hideously.
 All rightl9 said the Big Shot again. "There are two ways of go- ing out of this house He ad- dressed himself directly to Phil now. You two can walk out the way you are, or you can be carried put bound and gagged. It's up to you! If you choose the former and make an attempt to escape, or at sract attention, she'll get bullet through her to begin with; and, if, after that, there's any chance of our being caught, you'll get yours flor then it would be all up, any, Vay What do you say?"
 T don't know what you mean Phil answered coldly.
 You don't have to know-not nowl" snarled the Big Shot. But you heard what I said. Which way will you go?"
 But before Phil could answer, Enid stepped toward the door. We will go the way we are" she said.
 They were taken out to the car. A large seven-passenger sedan. A driver was at the wheel.
 Gruffly Myers ordered her into the back seat. Phil sat in the seat in front of her. Myers was on her left; gangster whom she did not recognize sat on her right. She noticed the Big Shot get into his car as they drove off
 Soon they were outside the city limits. The curtains were drawn and she could see very little but the uneven road told her they were off the paved highway.
 They drove on and on in silence. Once she tried to speak to Phil but Izzy Myers roughly ordered her to hold her tongue.
 She did not know where they were, or where or what was the "Old Homestead" as the Big Shot had called it was, and to which they presumably were going. She knew that with each minute this ride became more full of haunting terror and suspense.
 Nor were her fears lesscned by an occasional gleam from street lights that penetrated the darkness of the car. She saw that both My CTS and the gangster held menac- ing revolvers.
 She speculated upon their desti- nation and the fate that was ir store for them. Gradually it came to her; the significance of it all
