COUNTY HORT SCHOOLS
January 2o-25

Three 2-day community horti-
cultural schools are to be held In
Kennewick, White Bluffs and Pros
ser the week of January 2O-25, i'll
elusive. The first two days of the
week will be given to the Kenne-
wick school, Wednesday and Thurs
day at White Bluffs and Hanford,
and Friday and Saturday at Pros
ser. So few replies were received
from RichIand and Benton City
that it is not probable that the one
day meetings che following week
will be held in these communities.
1t is hoped that the services of
Anthony SpuIer, who gave one of
the outstanding talks at the State
Horticultural Assn meeting at
Yakima, would be available but
when checking up further on Mr..
Spuler,s schedule while at the Col
lege last week, it was found that
Mr.. SpuIer would not return from
the East so as to be available UNI.
till early in February. Because of
this it will be necessary to have
some one else handle the topic Of
codling moth control. This will be
turned over either to Mr.. Starcher,
district horticultural Inspector, or
to Mr.. Bregger; the new extension
specialist. Time does not permit
us to check with these men at this
time to determine which will ham
die the topic. Arrangements are
being made with DR.. Webster, head
of the entomology department at
the college to secure the charts
used by Mr.. Spuier as well as the
mimeographed outlines Of Mr..
Spuler's talk given at Yakima. We
hope to be able to have enough
copies of this material to hand TO
each individual grower present.
Orchard fertilization is another
topic to be discussed at these
schools by the county agent. The
fertilization problem will be pre-
sented purely from an unbiased
standpoint, just as near as poss-
ible the real facts in fertilizer
studies briefly presented for dis
cussion by farmers.
Neil Johnson and Chester Hamp-
son, two research workers with the.
Department of Farm Management,
in the last three years have been
gathering some very valuable in
formation in regard to the econom-
ic aspects of orcharding. This mat
ter was presented to the county
agents at their conference last
week. This material will be pre-
sented to growers by Mr.. Bregger.
Other topics to be covered will
include thinning, scale and other
pest control, growing and any
other problems which growers may
wish to submit. The horticultural
schools will be conducted upon the
same basis as other schools are be-
ing conducted this year, a mini
mum amount of time being given
to set speeches and a maximum
amount of time to discussion by
growers. We hope that farmers
will come to these meetings ready
to present any problems which they
may wish to have discussed. We do
feel that these problems should be
presented first to those in charge
of the school SO that place may be
made for them on the program.

Famous Strong Men of History
Jeersons Father Could Raise Up 1000 Pounds of Weight
j.. p. GLASS.

Thomas Jefferson stood feet 212
inches in height, but at that, had his
father been alive, he would have
stretched above him.
Whereas Thomas was slender, Peter
Jefferson was thick, burly. Thomas
might be stronger than most men, but
his parent was stronger than three
ordinary men.
His stature was gigantic, his strength
appalling. Since he united to his physi-
cal powers q firm and logical mind, it
was no wonder that he rose from a
comparatively humble position in the
world and became the leading citizen of
his county In Virginia.
Jane Randolph, member of one of the
most aristocratic Of Virginia families,
lost her heart to the giant. Stories of
his feats of strength quickened her
pulse even before she had met him.
Her family did not object and so Peter
Jefferson married her.
Jefferson's estate Of Shadwel was
right on the Indian frontier. All along
it the fame of his physical prowesS
spread. Indians far and near came to
see the big white chief, and gaZed upon
him with awe and veneration. Friendly
chiefs, bound to and from embassies at
the colonial capital, made Shadwell
their favorite stopping place.
They went back to their tribes to tell
how the white man could simultaneously
head up" two hogsheads of tobacco al
most without effort. To head them
up" meant to raise them from their
sides to an upright position. Each
hogshead weighed nearly a thousand
pounds!
Visitors to the Jefferson home-there
always we're some in those hoSpitable
days-once witnessed a rare exhibition
of power. He had directed three strong
slaves to pull down a shed which he

Have you noticed how people almost
always admire in other people the ability
which they do not themselves possess?
Peter Rabbit admired Jerry MuSkrat.
He admired Jerry very much, indeed.
and it was largely because Jerry could
do the things in the water that Peter
could not do. So, in a way, Peter was
envious of Jerry. 1t didn't occur to
Peter that Jerry in his turn might be
envious of him. No, sir; that didn't en-
ter Peters head. You see, he was so
used to running and jumping and
lodging that he took it all as a matter
of course, and didn't once think that
other little people might wish that they
could do as he did.
One evening just at dusk, when Jolly,
round, red Mr.. Sun was going TO bed
behind the Purple Hills and the Black
Shadows were creeping out across the
Green Meadows and had almost reached
the Smiling Pool, Peter Rabbit sat on
the bank watching Jerry Muskrat swim.
Peter always did like TO see that funny
tail of Jerry's move back and forth in
the water, as Jerry loves to make II
when he is swimming. At last Jerry
climbed out on the Big Rock. There he
sat, so that Peter had a side view Of
him. 1t came TO Peter, as he sat look
ing at Jerry, that Jerry reminded him
of some one
Yes, sir" said Peter, talking to him
self. Jerry Muskrat reminds me Of
some one. but just who 1t is I cannot
think. 1t ought to be Robber the Rat,
for Jerry is member Of the Rat fam
lily. But somehow he doesn't remind
me OF Robber the Rat so very much. It
is some one else. / think It Is his shape
and the way he sits. II certainly isn't
Johnny Chuck. It certainly isn't any Of
the Squirrel cousins, he doesn't look the
least bit like Billy Mink or Little Joe
Otter. He does make me think in a
way Of Paddy the Beaver. I've heard
him called the little cousin Of Paddy
the Beaver, but 1 understand they are
not related at all"
Just then Jerry slid into the water
and swan over near Peter. What's on
your mind, Peter?" Jerry inquired.
Peter grinned. you" he replied.
That's too bad" said Jerry. How
am l on your mind?"
You remind me Of some one and
don't know who IL is," replied Peter.
Jerry looked interested 80 remind

Peter, but you remind me of some one
else. Have you any relatives that

Jerry chuckled. "of course have"

Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

June %, IS61.-Much less fuel, espe-
cially wood, is being received in this city
this month than in any corresponding
season of former years. Few boats are
now running wood and coal to the
wharves on the river and city canal,
and the supply that is available is COM
ing in very slowly.
The boats formerly running from the
Virginia shore low down the Potomac
River have stopped, especially those
from DumfrieS and Occoquan, Va. Some
of them have been seized by the Con-
federates. Some members of their crews
have been forced to leave Virginia and
are now in Washington. Others have
been detained in the State.
A gentleman of this city who is en-
gagged in the coal trade says the boat
men have serious fears that the Con-
federates will be permitted to hold pos
session of Matthias Point, on the Po-
tomac River below Washington, which
would etectually prevent boats from
coming up the river
The Confederates apparently are max
ing no distinction in the value of the
prizes which they capture in the Poto-
mac River. They will capture an emptv
wood boat as quickly as a vessel loaded
with valuable cargo of coal. These
empty boats are doubtless of use to them.
however, ana Cney also probably figure
out that their. seizure prevents their
further use to provision the Union troops
that are gathering in and around Wash
ington City.
A riverman named Grissett. a few
days ago, was engaged in taking on a
cargo of wood in sloop for this city
at place about miles up MattoX
Creek from the Potomac River, in West
moreland County, Va, when his sloop
was captured. He was permitted 70
leave, provided he could find means of
doing so. A Union sympathizer gave
him a dugout canoe, and in this he
padded out Of the creek and across the
river to the Maryland shore.
After "a hours of the hardest kind
OF padding from that point, Grissett
says he arrived at Marlows Bay where
he was taken aboard a long boat. He
was brought up the river and today is in
this city. The distance he travelled in
the canoe-a dugout made from a chest
nut log-he says, aggregated about so
miles.
For the present the Confederates seem
to have control of the lower Potomac.
1t Is understood that the Navy Depart
ment of the Federal Government is
making plans to send a flotilla of armed
vessels there, which it hopes will keep
the river open for navigation from
Washington to Chesapeake Bay, and the
bay open all the way to Hampton Roads
and the sea.

One of Useful Types of Garments

trastlng color, and the house wrap, so
useful to wear indoors on chilly days, at
the Seashore or mountains, may be of
plain or figured crepe de chine or fig
ured chintz.
The sketch shows the short version
OF the beach wrap, which many women
prefer to the longer wrap, but the tend
ency now IS toward greater length in
beach wraps, SO you may want to make
yours longer. For the neglige you will
want greater length, while for the house
coat or evening wrap the length given
here is best.
The diagram shows how to cut the
pieces. For medium sized wrap of the
length schown in the sketch the dinen-
sionS Of the pieces are as follows: Black,
40 inches long and 80 inches wide, from
A to B; fronts, 40 inches long and 10
inches wide; sleeves, 20 inches in width
and IS inches long, sleeve facings, 20
inches by 5, and the facing for the
fronts and collar of the coat, inches
wide and 90 inches long. Only half of
the facing Is shown in the sketch and it
may conveniently be pieced at the mid
die of the back.
If you wish a. longer wrap estimate
the desired length of back and front,
which should be the same, and figure
from that the extra length needed for
the coat facing. Dimensions of sleeves
and slec facings remain the same.
To ma the coat, first sew fronts to
back as shown in the diagram, then sew
the sleeves as shown, placing the center
of the sleeve directly at the shoulder
seam, next sew up side seams, begin
ming with the lower edge of front and
back and ending at the lower edge of
the sleeves. Seam up sleeve facings
and apply-also the facing for the front
and top of the coat. Make hem at
the lower edge of the coat, and there
you are!

Household Methods
BY BETSY CALLIsTER.
Daily Orders.

We no longer feel that there is any
special virtue in carrying our packages
home from the butcher, the baker and
the candlestick maker. 1t is not an
act of patriotism to do this when the
merchant with whom you deal main
tains a delivery system.
However, 1t is always inconsiderate to
ask a grocer to send over to your house
specially with a possible loaf of bread
or yeast cake.
It is a wise idea to have on hand a
list Of possible groceries that you might
need at any time, and then when you
find that you suddenly need something
from the grocer's delivered to you, you
can simply add some of these articles
to make the order worth attending to.
Some housewives never order soap and
various cleaning supplies in any other
way. They are simply used as padding
for special telephoned orders.
Even in Summer soap does not de-
teriorate if kept on hand. In fact, soap
that has been kept on hand long
enough to become dried out is said to
wear better in the water than fresh
soap.
Blueing is another thing that you
need not hesitate to have ahead of time
In most households can or so of SAL
mon and sardines or pineapple may al
ways be kept on hand.
1t Is a good plan to get into the
habit of giving your orders early in the
morning. Eight o'clock is none too soon

Ruts.

The great German philosopher Eman-
uel Kant lived in rut all his life. He
never during all his 80 years Travelled
farther than 40 miles from his native
Konigsberg. His neighbors set their
clocks by his round of activities.
Kant lived in rut, physically speak
ing, because he wanted to keep his
mind on his philosophy. Very
few men have Travelled so far in that
direction.
OF course, rut today is a very diff
ferent thing from what it was in Kant's
time. We have wider ruts now. Tune
in on the radio and you have brought a
lot of the far-away into the here. One
wonders If it is not the globe e-trotter
who, after all, has the narrower ruts.
All depends on the amount of thought
and study that goes along with travel
I believe have found people who have
travelled far and, after all, seen nothing.
From a psychological point of view,
rutS are abused rather than used. We
are all in some respects bound to our
surroundings Much of the discomfort
in modern life IS due to the fact that
some people don't know how to define
the word rut.
If rut is physical place merely, a
section of territory, then the man who
gets in and stays put is not much differ
ent from the fellow who gets out. But
if a rut is mental something, the man
who gets in and stays there is vastly
poorer than the one who is able to
voyage through strange seas of thought
alone"
