Makes Splendid
Showing in Year
Any Single
Accomplishment
Would Justify
Organization

In line with the Central Wash
ington Growers Association, which
is attracting the attention of fruit
growers over the entire Yakima
valley, comes the annual report of
the North Central Washington
Growers association which is func-
tioning at the present time in the
Wenatchee-O kanogan valley. Ac-
cording to William Green, local or
ganization chairman of the Cen
trail Washington Growers associa-
tion, this report is of interest to all
fruit growers in this valley. 1t
shows the future possibilities of
this organization. The Wenatchee
association has taken some great
steps in the short time it has been
active, since the latter part of Aug
,ust of last year.
Some Of the accomplishments of
the North Central Washington or
ganization are: ~ Contact and
cooperation with the Shippers
Council which aided in the proven
ton of price cutting at opening of
1929 season; (2) great strides in
the reduction and suppression of
Gull bootlegging; 81 help to keep
the price of culls up to high level;
(4) issued a weekly market bulle-
tin to all members during harvest
season, monthly bulletin of grower
information issued all year; (5)
gave assistance in local matters
which were of great help to the
fruit growers of the valley.
"The grawers in this valley have
long felt the need and have often
talked of the need of a real grow
ers organization which is not a
marketing proposition and which
is capable of handling grower pro-
blems to the growers interest. This
association presents this kind of a
plan and should be supported by
every grower regardless of his
marketing affiliations" said Mr..
Green, who states that arrange
ments are now being made with
A. j. Boaz for meeting of Ken
newick growers here some time in
he near future when the plans and
aims will be more fully explained.

Hot Soup is @
Proving Popular with
Washington Pupils
Plan is Proving
Out Better than Was
Hoped For-More
Than Hundred Take it.

The plan of serving hot soup TO
the children in the Washington
school is proving quite as successful
as its hackers had hoped. Every
thing is working out splendidly and
the children seem to take to the
plan with even greater enthusiasm
than was hoped. s2 @
About hundred and twenty-five
pupils are being served each day.
The charge of fifteen cents per
week, serving of different var
iety each of the five days, is just
paying for the venture.
The soup is being made at pri-
vate home and transported to the
school in ice cream containers,
covered with preheated wrappings.
The dishes are also heated and car
ried to the school in the insulated
containers supplied by the local
creamery. Soup served an hour
after arrival at the school is still
hot enough to scorch.
Schools all over the state where
the children are required to take
their lunches are taking up the plan
of providing hot dishes at noon. In
some of the larger places other
articles may be obtained at cost,
and it is hoped that this plan may
be intimately worked out in Ken
newick.

quire similar reports from their
sportsmen. One hears glowing re-
ports of the total amount of game
and fish furnished by these states,
Pennsylvania in particular. Wash
ington sportsmen believe thay have
better hunting and fishing than
most of them yet they have moth
ing tangible upon which to base
their claims.
With the report system in vogue
and enforced the sportsmen will
soon have enough data to talk
turkey" to the other states and can
prove to them that we really have
"sportsmen's paradise"

These meetings will be of far
reaching Importance and no doubt
will be well attended.

AN APPLE
OR A. HIGHWAY.

A price of $4,000 was recently
set on a seeding apple tree, by an
orchardist living in the lewis riv-
er country in Washington when
condemnation proceedings for a
highway were started, according
to a report reaching here.
The fruit grower said that the
tree was producing a new variety
of apple, and this makes the price
seem less unusual, for Washington
apples are an asset Of great value.
Should this Seeding produce q
strain worthy of taking place with
the Winesap and Jonathan, that.
sum would prove quite reasonable.

Gotta Tell the
Truth About Your
Fishing Trips
No License to Be
Issued Until Applicant
Answers Questions
For Publicity Purposes

The 1880 hunting and fishing Ii
censes will be out about the first
Of March. From present indications
there will be great rush for the
priced bits of colored pasteboard
emitting one to take game and
| fish in this state, especially among
the steelheaders.
Before they can get license
this year, however, hunters and
anglers will have to turn in re-
port in writing showing the APP
proximate number, as accurately
as they can remember, if the exact
number isn't known, of game
birds, game fish, game animals,
ur-bearers, predatory animals and
predatory birds killed or taken by
them during 1929.
Section 38-a, Game Code of the
State Of Washington, provides that
Every license holder shall annu-
ally before purchasing a license
for the current year deliver a re-
port in writing to the person from
whom he is purchasing a hunting
and fishing license the approx

and which report shall be upon
blanks furnished for such purpose,
which blanks shall be signed by
the party making the report, to-
gether with his address and the
character and number of the Ii
cense, if known, before he shall be
entitled to receive license for the
current year. Every person selling
a hunting and fishing license Shall
require every purchaser of hunt

specified, for the previous year;
which blanks when so filled out

So far there has never been a

areas, they have nothing with

SNYDER LIKELY.
To RECEIVE D. K.

A fayorable~-Ieportv of the Fa-
nomination of Edgar C. Snyder as
United States Marshal for the Dis
trict of Columbia was indicated
yesterday at the hearing before the
subcommittee of the Senate Dis
trict Committee.
At the hearing there appeared
Miss Susan L. Davis and her at
torney, Oscar H. Brinkman, as well
as Marshal Snyder and a number
Of deputy marshals.
Miss Davis from time to time
hotly interrupted the statements
of the Marshal and his subordi-
mates concerning the regularity
of his services in a suit he brought
about a year ago for damages
against Jesse w. Nicholson, of
Chevy Chase, Md.
She claimed the service jeop-
ardized her suit and an official
of the marshaPs office admitted
a critical mistake had been made
in the notation on the service
paper. but that this had been
corrected by another correction
on another service paper, an
order of the District Supreme
Court giving Miss Davis all legal
right against Nicholson.
Chairman Gillett, Of the sub
committee, finally abruptly suS-
pended the hearing by saying
that he saw nothing in the testi-
mony involving the eligibility Of
Snyder and that If a critical
error had been made it appeared
to be the mistake of some Subor-
6inate.

LEVY FILED
:.
Anacostia Property Owner
Fights Assessment Made
Under the BorIand Act

The Borland law, under which
assessments are made against
property for improvements to
streets and sidewalks. was at
tackled again today when Cecilia
Cotter Shea filed suit in District
Supreme Court to cancel assess
mentS levied against her property
abutting on Nichols Avenue, in
Anacostia, amounting to- $1,823.
Attorney George c. Gertman ap-
pears for her.
Recent Court Of Appeals deci-
sionS have almost invariably
sustained the protests Of property
owners against assessment under
the Borland law, and the ap-
parent inequalities of the law
have been made the object Of at
tacks in numerous cases in the
lower courts.
Attorney Gertman contends that
the assessments for paving
Nichols Avenue and the laying of
a curb. which we're levied under
the Borland act, are void because
they were levied according to the
front, or fineaS foot, and the
assessments of benefits for widen
ing the street are void because
the street was not widened, al
though land was condemned for
that purpose in April. 1922, and
there is no appropriation avail
able for the work.
