ASPARAGUS BEETLE
Since the asparagus beetle made

Since the asparagus beetle made its
appearance in the community last
year asparagus growers should. we
believe, keep a sharp lookout for the
appearance of the pest this spring.
Specimen of the actual beetle may be
seen at the County Agents Office.
This insect destoys the new shoots by
feeding upon the tips Of the growing
shoot. Careful and close cutting done
regularly will do much to keep the
pest in control. A better practice pro-
baby is to allow an occasional plant
to develop in the row and keep this
plant sprayed with arsenite. The in
sects will be attracted to this plant
and will be poisoned. Some growers,
we understand, in the Sunnyside sec
ton where the insects have been, quite
prevalent fur some years, have been
able to practically clear up the infesta-
ton by this means.
More information will be gathered
from time to time and anything new
presented through these columns. ,

BUSINESS men AND
FARMERS SUP TOGETHER

One of the most interesting meet
inps ever held by the White Bluffs
Commercial Club was the one MONDAY
evening, the date being the regular
monthly meeting of the club. Eacf
member of the club had been request
ed to bring as his guest some farmer
in the community and every member
with his guest, attended, forty IN al
being present.
The meeting was held at 1880 al
the Commercial hotel and after the
serving of the dinner, w. ]. Kin.
caid, president of the club, announced
that following the routine business
subjects of general interest would be
discussed and under this head D. 5
Wilkinson, chairman OF the road com
mittee reported on the work the ciuo
has done in furthering road improve
| ment in the community, particularly
the Othello road, ard H. ]. Upton
amplified this report by pointing out
the mutual benefits to the farmers
here and in the wheat country through
an exchange of products if that road
IS put in good servicablc condition.
E. I. O'Larey reported on the recent
visit here Of representatives OF the
Columbia Valley Association OF Port
land, urging the opening OF the lower
Columbia River to navigation. John
McFee. clerk of the school board,
spoke briefly on the financial condi !,
ton of the district and Fred III. wen
made a hit with the crowd by making
strong plea for united support tor
the development of the Priest Rapids
power site. +
In response to an invitation OF
President Kincaid for suggestions as
to how the club might help in fur
thering community interests, num-
Der Of farmers made short talks.
Those who spoke were M. 3. Houk'
r. J. Roberts, Frank Taylor, Thomas
Clarke, I. c, Hawley, w. +. Shaw,
F. N. Hensley, L. a. Codding and l.
S. ZONES. And the subjects they sug-
gested as needing attention included:
Improvement of the Othello road,
the purchase of some kind of tire
fighting equipment, additional hous-
ing facilities in town, open river,
Priest Rapids development, the drill
ing of a deep well in town and the
oilirg of the White Bluffs Hantord
road w. NJ. Underhill, superintend-
emit of the White Bluffs schools, also
spoke briefly and urged that the par
ents and others interested visit the
schools, not only to view the outside
of the buildings but to go over the
work being done by the school
authorities and learn what is being
done along educational lines.
In all of the talks made there was
strong undertone Of sentiment for
teamwork and united support in all
community undertakings on the vel
founded theory that srsy advancement
made carried with it direct or in.
direct benefit to every resident of the
community.
The meeting Monday evening was
the first one held with the idea OF
promoting better understanding and
closer cooperation in fostering COM
munity projects and the results were
so generally satisfactory that similar
meetings are being planned for the
near future

TRYING TO CHECK AND
DOUBLE CHECK TINE MOTH

The special appropriation secured
by Mr.. Summers for research work
in Kennewick with cooling moth was
topic for discussion in the County
some time ago. The nature of the
work to be done and location for
work was taken up with Mr.. Summers
some time ago and later with Mr.
Newcomer. Our letter to Mr.. New
conner was forwarded to MIR. Gross at
Wenatchee who has replied with the
following letter which we think is
self explanatory:
Dear Sir:
Mr.. Newcomer has referred to me
your letter to him dated February 24th
stating that there is feeling in your
locality that part Of the appropriation
for insecticide studies secured by Mr.
Summers right profitably be spent in
your section. Our Bureau Of Chem
istry and Soils headquarters at Wash
ington D. c. has not yet informed me
of the amount of this appropriation or
of the ways in which it will be spent.
However, will describe briefly the
nature of our past field work in this
section and I believe you will readily
see why it might not be feasible to do
part Of our work in your section as
suggested.
Much of our money appropriated
by Congress in the past to develop
a new spray or new sprays
has been spent in our main
at Washington, D.
c. in synthesizing or compromising
new spray materials. When these
laboratories have developed sprays of
promise, they are distributed among
the State and Federal Entomologists
for field trials.
During the spraying season our
field unit functions to observe the eff
ficiency of these spray materials and
I'd work out ways for improving the
methods of applications CT all sprays
used against the codling moth to inn
prove their toxicity. Our work along
these lines is in cooperation with the
State and Federal entcmologists in
the district Independent investigations
of chemical nature are most efficient
ly carried on near our field laboratory
at Wenatchee, so that direct super
vision will be facilitated.
We are all working for better ways
of controlling the ravages of the cod
ling moth. When such ways are found
and regardless of the source or To-
cation of the research work, all local

CLEARS $500 FROM II
acre APPLE ORCHARD

What will an average apple orch
ard in the White Bluffs district pro-
duce in the way Of packed boxes and
| in dollars and cents? Hoy many of
the growers keep record Of their or
chard operations in such way that
they are able to tell at the end of
produced and the net returns? Not
many, perhaps, yet when such records
are kept, the results quite often are
both surprising and enlightening.
| j. E. Baker, in order to determine
just what his orchard was doing for
him-or to him-kept rather accur-
ate account for the year 1929 and his
report shows the very interesting re-
suits:
From 700 Winesap trees he packed
81O7 boxes of apples that sold for
$11 ,O31.1O; 239 Jonathan trees pro-
duced 1851 boxes, that brought him
$4,515.44; So delicious trees packed
out TIA boxes that sold for $1,249.55;
and 81 Spitz trees produced 34S box
es that sold for $479.75.
The total number of packed boxes
was 1880 and the gross returns,
$17,275.84. The expense account for
the seasons operations, which include
pruning, thinning, spraying and spray
material, picking, hauling, packing
boxes, ladders, picking bags, water
and taxes, totaled $9,846.35, which
leaves a net profit of $7,429.49 for
the 1910 trees on the II acres, or
$437.00 per acre.
Mr.. Baker has two acres of young
nom producing peach trees and the
expense of caring for this part OF the
orchard was included in the charge
off of the apple orchard. Another
small credit that he might have
charged off, but didn't, were the lad
ders and picking bags, which he still
has left over, as well as about $500
made-up boxes.
Each of the varieties was sold for
cash at about the time they were
ready for market.
The production in Mr.. Bakers or
chard was not exceptional as the IL,
800 boxes from 1040 trees meant a
packout of only about II boxes to a
tree, and the prices received last year
were not unusually high. He did, how
ever, do a good job of spraying with
the result that he had an exceptional
ly clean crop with high percentage
of the better grades.
Mr.. Bakers experience last year
would indicate that when an orchard
is carefully pruned and thinned and
properly fortified and sprayed and
intelligently marketed that this val
LEY will produce as profitable crop
as any district in the West.

CANALIzAT|ON OF RIVER
URGED BY BOOSTERS

Plans for the extensive development
of the Columbia river, by navigation
as far as possible in the present con.
dition of its channel; by the improve
ment of the channels so that
navigation may be facilitated and ex-
tended; by canalization through the
building of dams where such channels
may thereby be improved; and by
development from the water so stored
! by hydro electric power for reclaim
alton, industries and all other pur-
poses, were outlined to the White
Bluffs Commercial Club last Friday
afternoon at the Commercial hotel
by DR.. Clark Black, president, and R.
II. Kipp, executive secretary OF the
Columbia valley association of Port
land.
DR.. Black used map tackled up
on the wall to illustrate his talk on
which he pointed out the vast terri
DRY tributary to the Snake and lower
Columbia rivers and which he said
would be benefited through a full
utilization of these streams
DR.. Black explained that the out
standing need at the present time
is to enlarge the membership of the
Columbia Valley Association. The
membership fees are small but it is
very essential, he declared, that there
be large number of residents in the
district favoring the navigation of the
rivers if the necessary federal appro-'
priations are obtained.
The Federal government, he said
has appropriated 100000, for a COM
plete survey of the Columbia and
the engineers now engaged in that
undertaking will be ready to make
their final report and recommendations
in 1881 At that time, he continued,
the people interested in the Columbia
river development must have their
plans far enough along so that there
will be a demand for further improve
ment.
In the canalization of the Columbia
DR.. Black explained, it would be nee
essary to build seven dams in the
river, between Portland and Umatilla,
that in addition to aiding navigation
would develop approximately 2,000,-
600 horse power of electrical energy.
Further on in his talk, DR.. Black
said that the present consumption of
electrical energy in Oregon was 265,-
600 horse power, which statement
caused club members to wonder how
long it would be before the consump-
ton would increase to point where
the additional 100000 horse power
between Portland and Umatilla would
be absorbed and the development
undertaken at Priest Rapids, which
would be the next dam built in their
plans for canalizing the river.
Application cards for membership
in the association were left with the
club for any of the residents here
4 who might wish to join.
