AS AN EMERGENCY MEASURE

Attorney Fred j. Cunninghams letter, published in the
Spokesman last week. warning water right that the
recevershp proceedings in the water would be
terminated and urging the necessity of organization
with ample financial backing that they may be in posi-
ton protect their interests has aroused the water right
owners to the need of some action.
Monday evening the water right owners committee met
and discussed the situation fully It decided to call
another meeting for Thursday night to which all water right
represented by the committee would be invited so
that they might learn all the facts and information gathered

represented by the committee.
At the meeting Thursday evening the committee offered
and the water right passed resolution asking that
the county commissioners accept the resignation of the three
directors of the Priest Rapids Irrigation District and that
they reappont the same This urged
gency any legal defects that might exist
of the fact that the district has been inactive and
has held elections for several years and to the district
the project only in the event that time any other
element prevented the formation of any other organization
that might be considered desirable
So far, the only that has through with
definite offer of financial aid is the Milwaukee railroad The
railroads offer conditioned upon the formation of
irrigation district the business administration and legal de-
parmen of the road holding after thorough investigation
that only through irrigation district would they feel safe
recommending that the Milwaukee go behind the guar
the financing and rehabitate
the project.

WHAT DOES THE FUTURE
HOLD FOR THE DAIRYMAN?

Three Dairy Tours are again being
planned for. the County. These will
be held in the Prosser. Hanford-
White Bluffs, and Kennewick- Rich
land communities. Dates have not yet
been set for these tours as we are
anxious to have the cooperation OF
Roy Jones, field manager for the
Yakima Valley Dairy Development
League. Mr.. Jones is very well post.
ed on the general dairy situation and
we feel he can contribute much to
these tours.
The general plan of the tour will
be to visit a few farms where out
standing practices can be observed,
followed by a step at some favor
able spot where a general discussion
of the tour will be made and general
discussion of the Dairy outlook will
be given by Mr.. Jones.
Just what the future will bring to
the Dairy industry, of course, is
somewhat problematical, but with
butter production for the first S
months of 1880 only ia per cent be-
low butter production for the same
period Of 1929, and with May pro-
duction in 1880 per cent larger than
in May, 1929, with a consequent in
crease in storage stocks greater than
the decrease in production, the Dairy
Situation is still rather unsettled.
There seems to be a feeling on the
part Of many that the trouble is under
consumption rather than over pro-
duction.
These and many other problems

WOMAN'S CLUB HOLDS
THIRD ANNUAL PICNIC

A pleasant custom Of the White
Bluffs Woman's Club IL the one now
three years old, Of giving picnic dur
ing the summer for the especial enter
tainment of club husbands and fam
lilies. The custom was Initiated two
summers ago at The Villa" then
the Koppen home, across the Colum-
bia at Wahluke, and one Of the most
charming spots in the Priest Rapids
Valley, and now only deserted farm
stead. It was the last social gather
ing to be held there, Mrs. Koppen's
sudden passing a few weeks later
Earring the end of MANY years Of
pioneer hospitality.
Last summer, the lawn at the w. ].
Kincaid home was the setting for
the midsummer gala day of the club
members and their families, and this
year Sunnybank Ranch, the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. F. E. Taylor, saw the
gathering Of seventy-five, the lar
gest number yet to attend. The picnic
dinner was spread on tables on the
big, airy porches, and the serving was
cafeteria style, the heaped up plates
being carried out to the shady, COM
Portable corners of the lawn, where
feasting and visiting occupied several
pleasant hours.
After dinner, RADIO music furnished
entertainment in the house while a
game of barnyard golf in the orchard
provided amusement for the men.
Many of the guests had not before
been privileged to inspect the house
and grounds, and were enthusiastic
over the changes and improvements
wrought by Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor
within the last few years, which have
transformed an ordinary Western
fruit ranch into paradise of flowers
and trees-"a veritable bit of Old
England" as one observer remarked.
This was the last meeting of the
club until the new seasons work be-
gins in September. A committee is
busy with the new programs and
they will be ready for distribution,
it is hoped, by the last of August.

Warehouses
Packing Out
y
Bartlett Pears
Eastern Buyers Tfmid
About Making Offers
For Fall Apples

The two fruit packing houses III
town as well as the Codding- Heide-
mann house in the country started
up this week on their seasons run
The White Bluffs warehouse, in fact
started last week. "a
The Horticultural Exchange got un-
der way Wednesday. They have dis
carded the Brogdex machine they have
been using for several years and have
installed a new Moe-Cutler washer and
wiper and a new Cutler grader. To
house this new equipment it was nee
essary to build an addition 10 by So
feet, on the west side Of the ware
house.
The two warehouses in town are
packing Bartlett pears. The canneries
that have bought up the bulk of the
Bartletts the last few years, are ap-
parently not in the market this season,
or at least are not making any offers
that the growers care to accept, and
as result most of the pears are be-
ing. packed and shipped out as fresh
fruit. Some of them are being put In
cold storage in the hope that the mar
ket will improve later, but the bulk OF
them are being shipped as they are
packed. The canneries say that the
reason they are not buying this season
is due to the large carry-over from
last year. The White Bluffs Ware
house expects to. ship six cars and the
horticultural Exchange at least two
cars by the last of the week.
Codding & Heidemann shipped their
first car of the season Tuesday even
ing. This car was filled principally
with different varieties of late fall and
early winter apples such as Delicious,
Winter Bananas and Jonathans, and
was shipped to. Fred Rea, at Seattle
for the Alaska trade.
In the larger fruit districts in the
state, growers and shippers. are show
ing some concern over the failure OF
the apple market to show much life.
Yakima dealers have been quoting
out Jonathans at $1.35 for combina-
ton extra and fancy pack but east
ern buyers are showing little interest.
If that price is established, it~should
mean about $3.50 here. On account
of the earliness of this district, Jona-
thans here usually command little
premium, d. liAC wy 40 6S-~.-!
cleaning up in this valley when Yaki-
ma and Wenatcfee start shipping.
The first of the fall apples to be
harvested are the King Davids and
Winter Bananas. There will be only a
few cars Of these varieties, as the
acreage is comparatively small. They
will probably be picked and packed
and on their way to market by Aug
ust 18th or Goth. From the appear
ance of the fruit now, the Jonathan
harvest will start in this valley dur
ing the latter part Of August. The
crop is generally good here this year
and is estimated to run between
seventy-five and one hundred car
loads. The picking of the Delicious
will follow the Jonathan harvest and
possibly may overlap it a lite. There
is a good crop alsp of this variety.
A few stings are showing up in
the orchards, due to the delayed
hatch Of worms, but growers generally
are continuing their spray programs
and it is believed the apple crop will
be fairly clean.

things about them, and the schools,
almost everywhere, are doing their

But. how different is the picture
in the average home! Whipping,
Slapping and knocking children
about is still the common practice
with most parents. Parents cannot
be urged too often to stop and con-
slider toward what end they are
rearing children. What is the result
they are after? So many times you
