the great cucumber and the slender gingkos IN
close array
The same words are used by every one who
visits Brandon: IF you want to let your mag
ination lead you with poetry and romance,
make merry with childhood laugh with youth
or mediate with the wise, then go to Brandon
and stroll at sunset down the long walk that
leads to the river" This is the original seat
Of the Harrison family.
The ancient box hedges have grown past all
expectations OF the original planter, and have
assumed queer shapes, gnarled and twisted,
each more beautiful than the other. And here
are the old-fashioned flowers of childhood The
narrow walks that lead in and out of the gar
dens are edged with yellow primroseS, cow
slips and sweet violets, and in many of the bor-
ders, heavily shaded, grow columbine, forget
me-not, and bleeding hearts. There is no
doubt that once visited the charm of this beau
tiful place will live always in the memory
Upper Brandon so-called in constradstinc-
ton to the older plantation, is miles
from Brandon, and was built by William Byrd
Harrison, son Of Benjamin Harrison of Bran
don. The situation of the dwelling commands
the river site and the parks are heavily shaded
with beautiful ueeS-popular, beech, magnolia
and the willow oaks
Boxwood and roses are in the remembrance
OF Upper Brandon when visited in the Spring.

Confederate soldiers in Richmond, in appre-
citation of which Gen. Lee gave her a commits
sion with rank Of captain.
In 1910 Poplar Grave was purchased by Ar
thur st. Clair Butler, who added the Colonial
columns, and thanks to him the beauties of the
old gardens have been restored.
Near Appomattox is the old estate, Violet
Banks. Here Gen. Lee camped under the
shade Of the cucumber tree with a spread Of
100 feet, during the campaign of 1864. This
old place was the home Of John Shore. There
still remains a quaint facade of the interesting
home, though the rear portion of 16 rooms has
been shot away. It will repay the tourist, how
ever, to detour a bit and see the remains of
the house and trees which enframe it.
1t is said that John Shore was most fond
of Oriental plants and used them in great
variety for the establishment Of his grounds,
and years later the garden supplied friends
with specimens to ornament their new drive
ways and gardens in many parts of Virginia.
Two torchlike holly trees stand sentinels on
either side Of the house.

the approach TO White Marsh, home Of the
TabbS. Majestic trees are everywhere. The
bronze beech, the European horse chestnut,
English yew and walnut, besides many other
varieties. Then, wandering back to the house,
one pauses to view the size and perfect pro-
portions Of o Ginkgo biloba, or maidenhair tree,
full 90 feet tall, and its trunk measuring 20
inches IN diameter.
Romance reads, that when John Tabbs wooed
and won Evelyn Matilda ProSser their combined
fortunes made him the wealthiest man in
Gloucester County. Loath to live so far from
the social whirl John made her the finest gar
den In Virginia, knowing her love for flowers.
One of their descendants says: 1.-THE arbors
OF which there were four, were covered with
white jeSsamine and roses. The greenhouses
were considered wonderful and contained many
varieties Of night-blooming cereus."
Beyond the shrubbery a grape avenue ex-
tends the full length Of the main garden. Ten
miles Of roadway encompass the present estate,
now owned by n. M. Baruch of New York.

ANGLIN URGES NO LET UP
IN SPRAYING PROGRAM

[ have been asked by several grow
ers in the past ten days if it would
be necessary to spray after July 10
or Is. To be on the safe side,
would naturally say, yes.
More sprays were applied in this
district last year by the average
grower than in any previous year and
the percentage Of culls as compared
with other districts proved these late
sprays to be both timely and profit
able.
Weather conditions have made it
just as favorable for late worm in
Hesitation this season as last and I'M
less each grower knows the actual
advice is to keep spraying.
The second brood moths began to
emerge about July / and the first
brood continued until about the 10th,
so that the lap-over was about the
same as last season, being hardly
noticeable from the number of moths
caught in the traps.
Young worms have been found re-
Gently in different orchards up and
oOWI IllS NdlCyJ WHlSll oSSiio W III
dictate that some of US are going to
have more or less worms in spite Of
all our spraying.
For those who are undecided as to
whether or not they should continue
spraying, my advice is to put up at
least three moth traps in different
parts of your orchard, keep them we'll
filled and keep record of each
nights catch.
There are two ways to tell whether
or not it is necessary to spray, for
the second brood worms; one is in
dictated by the number Of moths
caught in the traps and the other is
to wait until you see the worms at
work. / don't believe it will take any
grower very long to figure out which
is the more profitable.
The writer will be glad to assist
any one who wishes to put up these
traps.

RELATIVES ATTEND PAYNE
FUNERAL IN YAKIMA

Mr.. and Mrs. j. H. Cole and Mrs.
L. G. Robinson returned Sunday eve
ming from Yakima, where they that
day attended services for Mrs. H. B.
Payne, who passed away suddenly
at St. Elizabeth's hospital Thursday
afternoon, and whose body was later
taken to Seattle for cremation.
According to Mrs. Robinson, Mrs.
Payne had been suffering for sever
al years from the nervous disorder
that eliminated in her death. She was
ill when she arrived in Yakima on
Thursday morning on her way to
White Bluffs, but unfortunately, none
of the people with whom she came in
contact realized the seriousness of
her condition, else her relatives here
would have been imediately notified
and she would have been taken to the
hospital upon her collapse instead of
to the police station, Mrs.
Robinson says that Mrs. Payne reg
istered at the hotel as from the
"White Bluffs hotep and gave the
police matron the address of her
mother in Bellingham, yet no one
took the trouble to notify any of her
relatives either here or at Belling-
ham, until after her death.

noon and closed at six o'clock. All

PREDICTS INCREASE Of
100 CARS or APPLES HERE

Fred Rea returned to Seattle the
latter part of last week after having
spent week here in the valley. Mr..
Rea said that he had driven quite
generally over the valley and had
personally visited many of the or
chards and that in his estimation the
district would ship this year approx
mately 100 cars more of apples than
were sent out last year. In addition, he
said, the appearance of the trees and
the fruit at this time indicated that
the growers generally have been CIV
ing good deal of attention to fertili-
cation, pruning, thinning, and spray
ing, with the result that the harvest
promises a good crop that will go
largely into the better grades.

river CLAY USED IN
ROAD EXPERIMENT

Benton county is trying out little
experiment in road building on the
half mile stretch between the Barge
corner and the intersection of that
road with Federal Avenue, east of
town. at White Bluffs. This piece of
road probably carries more travel than
any other in this vicinity. 1t was one
of the first stretches graded and sur
faced around White Bluffs but the
sErfacing was done with uncrushed
gravel and because of this and the
fact that it is used so much, it seems
to have lost most of its life and the
road crew has difficulty in keeping 1t
in serviceable condition without al
most constant attention.
Clay from the river banks is being
hauled and spread on top and after
scarifying it. the surface is being wet
down with water from the irrigation
tracts adjoining and then floated. It
is believed that this treatment may
give the surface the necessary binder
and prevent the surface from becom-
ing rutty.

HANFORD Wins final
LEAGUE BALL GAME

The final league game between the
White Bluffs and Hanford clubs. post
poned one week, was played at Han.
ford last Sunday, Hanford winning by
score of 9 to S. It turned out to be
the hottest day Of the season and the
players on both clubs showed the eff
fects of the excessive heat. It also
affected the attendance as the crowd
of fans that turned out was the small
est of the season at Hanford.
Joe Wagner pitched for White
Bluffs and went the distance. Herb
Cords started for Hanford and while
Herb likes the warm weather, Sunday
was just little too much of good
thing, and he went out in the thirc
inning, Hartman finishing up the job.
Because of Wagner pitching and the
absence of some of the regular play
ers. White Bluffs presented some
what checkered lineup. Tex Knowles.
business manager for the club, played
right field and while he played the
field so deep that the boys said they
could reach him only by long distance
telephone, he was hitting as well as
any of the others, having batting
average for the day of 1888. which is
mot so bad. considering it was his
maiden effort.
Both White Bluffs and Hartford
finished up the season little in the
red, financially, and it is possible that
another game will be played between
the two clubs this month or next, to
give them a chance to come out on
the right side of the ledger.
The season closed with Kennewick.
first; White Bluffs. second; Hanford,
third; and Benton City, last.
Next Sunday the White Bluffs club
will journey to Pasco for pest sea
son game with the club there. White
Bluffs expects to have all of it's re
gulars in the lineup that day and if
the day is not too hot the game
should be an interesting one to watch.

Estimated At Ia of
Nations Total


A commercial apple crop of 1864,
GOO, barrels is forecast for the United
States in 1880. by the July estimate
issued by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture. This is the smallest crop
grown in the country within the past
ten years excepting 1927. when only
25,000,000 barrels were produced, the
1928 crop was about 5000. 900 barrels
and the 1929 crop was slightly more
than 100000 barrels or little more
than 100000 barrels larger than the
estimated 1880 yield.
Washington apple crop is estimated
at $4,000 barrels compared with 8,
