lent points throughout the district
April $3.50.

tural inspector, Norman Anglin,
inspector at White Bluffs and Han
ford, and Mr.. Beaver Of the Yaki-
ma Valley Spray company, will be
in charge. Starcher will discuss
moth traps, their use, and the
broadcasting of information secur-
ed by traps under his supervision
as means of better control. He
will also cover methods Of install
ing traps and type of bats.
Beaver will talk on the codling
moth, eggs and identity, and will
report the results of a program ac-
complished in Grandview under his
supervision. Anglin will present
the efficient operation Of spray
machines, necessary for a good
spraying job.
The schedule of the meetings is
as follows: Kennewick- Saturday,
April 26, $50 am, n. N. Ander-
son orchard, 2 1-2 miles southeast
of town on Hover road. White
Bluffs Monday, April 90, $50 a.
M, R. D. Barge orchard, 1-2 mile
north of town at turn of road to
White Bluffs ferry.

have been able to get crops fairly
free from culls for several years.
The hope is that all apple districts
of the country will be able to do
the same.

CONGRESSMAN
THINKS RELIEF
WILL GO THRU
Summers Urges Bill Upon the
House Committee-Spokane
Chamber Adds Plea for Its
Passage

The special relief appropriation
for the Highlands pumping plant
will be available for use July 1, in
the belief of Representative John
w. Summers, according to a letter
he has written to the local Com
mercial club. He says: 81 have ex-
planted the Kennewick emergency
to the House conferees and am of
the opinion that they will concur
in the action of the Senate, which
will mean that the House also will
concur and that the S640,000 will
be available July 1st."
The appropriation bill carrying
this amount has already passed
the Senate and will soon be re-
ported out of the committee of the
House.
A letter from the Spokane
Chamber of Commerce was also
read at today's meeting of the
Commercial club. The development
committee from the Spokane or
ganization has written to the
Washington representatives asking
them to give every possible aid in
having the Highlands appropria-
ton put thru and the work start
ed at the very earliest possible
moment.

With an attentive ear to the
loud speaker and his fingers Twill

a program from 2YA, Christ
church, New Zealand on February
9. He wrote them a letter report
ing the fast. In a month, the Radio
Broadcasting company of New Zea-

other day Gundy got their reply,
thanking him for his letter, which
describes the clarity and volume
with which the program reached
him here. On the same night, Gun

FINDS STOLEN COAT
Hutchins Indentifies Article Lo-
Gated by Miller

- SoSOA ~ 4NAilASI
A gray overcoat, one of the art
icles stolen from Floyd Hutchins
in a night robbery, which occurred
several months ago, was discover
ed by j. C. Miller in a patch of
tumble weeds besides the platform
of the Conlen building in Pasco on
Wednesday morning. The coat was
wrapped in a piece of paper. See
ing the name of w. L. Marsh on
The label, Miller got in touch with
the local clothier, who called C. E.
Copeland, police chief. They went
over and got the coat, which was
instantly identified by Hutchins as
his own. The coat was in good con-
dition and had evidently been
cached away without being worn.
Copeland and Hutchins are plan
ming to visit the pawn shops in
Pasco in hopes of locating the
watch and chain that were taken
at the same time.

KENNEWICK TO
BE ON ROUTE
OF LOOP ROAD
Association Formed to Back
765-Mile Highway From
Seattle TO Spokane; Dele
gates Go From Here

Kennewick. will be on the new
Seattle-Spokane loop highway.
This was decided at a conference
of highway delegates in Yakima
Wednesday, when the route of the
proposed road was planned. l. N.
Mueller, F. n. Morton, Don Thomp-
son and H. Z. Oliver represented
the Kennewick Commercial club.
The completion Of the road was
pledged by the Washington Loop
Highway association, which was
formally organized at the confer
ence.
Over $50 delegates from every
county in the state were called by
w. H. Little Of Wenatchee, who
was elected president. Executive
offices of the association will be
at Wenatchee. Four years have
been allowed for the completion Of
the plan.
The route as outlined in the con-
stitution adopted on the floor, calls
for the establishment of a defin-
lite highway beginning at the juno
ton of state road No. 1, known as
the Pacific highway, and state
road No. 2, known as the Sunset
highway, and extending over the.
Snoqualmie pass to Gle Elum and
thence over state road No. 3 thru
Ellensburg, Yakima, Kennewicls,
Walla Walla, Charleston, Pullman,
Colfax to Spokane and returning
over state road No. 2 through Dav-
export and Waterville to Wenat-
chez; thence over Stevens pass to
a connection with state road No. /
at Everett"
The Ephrata Chamber of Com
merce made forcible objection to
the routing of the road through
Davenport and Waterville, point
ing out that there was a more
steady grade through Ephrata.
The question was referred to the
board Of directors.
Other provisions Of the consti-
tuition call for the earliest poss-
ible pavement of the loop on the
basis of selecting those portions
ready for paving on which travel
is heaviest and with special con-
sideration being given to any sec
tions where, because Of peculiar
conditions, ordinary maintenance
is impossible"
Looking toward 81, 100000 year
from the gas fund as an appropri-
alton from the legislature, the del
egates were instructed to bring
pressure to bear on representa-
tives and senator's in all districts
to adopt the loop as part of the
state program. This amount could
be given to the loop without ser
ious damage to the fund, leaders
declared. The loop will include 765
miles, of which 240 are now paved
and another 1872 ready for paving.
Increase in both tourist and home
travel were predicted as results Of
the loop construction. The plan is
rapidly gaining favor in all Sec
tions, said Foster McGovern Of
the Seattle Chamber Of Commerce.
At the close of the meeting,
which lasted throughout the day,
brief addresses were given by
Asahel Curtis of Seattle and other
prominent delegates.

Under the new system of the
Columbia irrigation district, the
first toll becomes due May 1. Pay
ments have been coming in right
along the last week, reports Man
ager w. C. Muldrow, with about 80

NC IN Benton county, says A.
~ Cook. government weather bur
w.. w. representative. They mature
e co. here than in any other sec
60. sa of the Yakima valley and are
somewhat SOM earlier than in neigh
borinp states. The quality of the
cherries is excellent, and the arid
conditions prevailing during har-
yesting reduces the number OF
asnlitsn to negligible quantity.
The comparative freedom from
competition because of the early
maturing and the excellent quality
have enabled the growers in Ben
ton county, especially at Kenne-
wick, to command a high price for
their product.
The crop picked in 1928 paid
over one thousand dollars net per
acre in some cases where the orch
ard was well cared for. This was
a year with an abnormally heavy
weld and might be taken as an ex-
ceptional case, but this is not so.
There are many records which can
show that well kept orchards have
paid enen higher returns.
The financial success of the cher
~ industry is dependent. however,
upon several factors, and among
these the hazards of frost and lack
Of pollination are paramount. The
annual loss from these factors is
somewhat variable, changing from
year to year, not only in the dis
trict at large but in individual or
chards.
1t is singular coincidence that
weather favorable for pollination
(bright, cloudless days with little
1ar no windy is also highly favor
-ble for the occurance of frost.
Likewise, when the weather is UNI
favorable for the occurrence of
frost it is also adverse for pollin-
alton.
ALI growers are familiar with
the fact that the main agency for
the transfer of pollen from the
"pollenizers" to the pra cticall y
sterile cherry blossoms is the bee.
Other insects aid some. 1t is also
known that bees will not work un-
less the sky is clear Cor nearly SOY
with little or no wind, and the
temperature has reached SIS de-
grees F. or higher. The observing
grower also knows that these very
same conditions are very often fol-
lowed by a frost at night and at
q time when the blossoms are ten
der. 1t sometimes happens that
nigh maximum temperatures occur
during pollanation, mounting to 20
or 20 degrees F. during the day
on occasion. Such high tempera-
lures generally precludes the oc-
e : of frost. However, such
ngn temperatures are conducive
to rapid development of the bios
SONS and, as is well known, ra-
p,d growth produces a tender
blossom which would be very sus-
