NEWS FROM Up.RlvER

The Vernita and Allard commu,
nifty folks who attended the basket
ball game in White Bluffs Friday
evening, through the hospitality Of
Edmund Anderson, in his usual roy
al way of entertaining, wish to ex-
tend their thanks and appreciation
for the trip down in his large bus
The crowd, who filled the bus to
capacity, had a delightful time on the
trip, which brought Jack fond re-
membranes Of old time bob sled
parties.
Nearly every family in the two
communities were represented.
The exhibit at the high school
made up of the work from the diff
ferent grades, was interesting and
was very much appreciated. We wish
to thank Mr.. Underhill and all the
other teachers for the interest taken
in explaining the different work, and
especially Robert Nitzsche, high
school senior, who demonstrated the
experimental work Of the high school
laboratory.
The basket ball game was enjoyed
to the fullest extent and several woke
up next morning with sore threats
and headaches from such hilarious
time. The dance put on by the young
ladies was good and the tumbline
act by the boys was appreciated to
the fullest extent.
An evening of this kind spent once
in while by visiting neighbors is well
spent and instructive to all concerned
The twenty or more up-river folks
who were given this enjoyable oppor-
tunity again wish to thank Mr.. An.
derson for his generosity and kind
ness in making the trip possible.

SNOW ALL GONE

A chinook wind that came up
out of the south last Saturday melted
most Of the snow on the plateaus
Eastern Washington but passed up
this valley entirely. The day here
was comparatively warm but calm
and little of the snow on the ground
melted. However, the chinook low
cred it's sights Sunday and by night
fall had converted much of our snow
into water. Sunday was also Febru
ary 2, the date when the little
ground hog comes out of his winter
quarters to size things up and be-
ing skittish and tinid is supposed
to scuttle back into his hole if he
sees anything unusual-his shadow,
for instance and thereby fastens
on us six more weeks of winter.
Well, the sun shone brightly all
day Sunday and if Mr.. Grounding
did not forget the date we will prob
ably have to console ourselves with
the prospects of six weeks more of
winter weather, unless the ground
hog, like a lot of humans, who at
tempt to predict the weather, and
other things, has just made bad
guess.
There is one argument this year,
however, in the groundhog's favor,
Easter Sunday comes unusually late,
April TO- A late Easter is generally
associated with long winter. What
we in this valley are particularly in
terested in is that the weather man
gets the frigid weather out of his
system during the winter months
and doesn't serve us up some cold
turkey along about the middle OF
April when the fruit trees are in
bloom.

KEEP THE CHICKS CLEAN

One Of the Invest topics for dis
cussi, n at the recent poultry school
held at Prosser last week was the
protection of the chicks from dis
eases and parasites particularly coc-
cidiosis and tape worms and round
worms. Most poultrymen feel and
we believe rightly so, that disease
and parasite control is one of the
biggest problems before the poultry
men of the Yakima Vally.
This year, the Extension Service
is recommending the use of hard
ware cloth or fine gravel screen with
one half inch mesh made into sec
tons on frames made of by 8
inch material which will extend about
three feet beyond the brooder stove.
This improvement has been used
at the College for two years and has
given very good results in the con-
troll of wet litter and in the control
of coccidiosis. The chicks are con-
fined in this area for the first week
or ten days and then are given the
run of the entire brooder house. Dur
ing the time the chicks are on this
frame, dreppings may be cleaned
from underneath only once a week
thus saving considerable labor and
removing the possibility of very much
spread of contagion. Wire porches in
frost of the house are also being
recommended using the same mesh
wire as being used inside. These
porches should be built on frames
and a porch of nine feet depth and
extending the full length of the
house should be ample for the chicks
for the first eight weeks. In this way,
the chicks are kept off Of the ground
and have very little chance to be-
come contaminated through drop
pings and yet have access to sun
shine. Food can be fed here in hop
pers as well as green feed. This
porch should be built in sections
which can be handled easily Drop
pings can be cleaned from under
meath occasionally with scraper
or sprayed with oil to overcome the
possibility of tapeworm infection
from flies. The common house fly
and other flies and insects are inter
mediate hosts for the tape worm
and these precautionary measures
should eliminate considerable danger
from this source.
7 Another precaution which we be-
lieve should prove very profitable
for the poultrymen is the screening
with fly screen of droppings taken
from the poultry house. This Of
course should be necessary only dur
ing spring and summer and fall
months when flies would be preva-
lent. This would prevent flies getting
to this source of contamination.

SOFT FRUIT PRUNING

The pruning of peaches and april
cots following severe winter appar-
emily is thing on which some grow
ers are not well acquainted. Last
year, we had quite a number Of
peach trees, especially pruned in the
spring following the winter injury of
l928-29 which did not make salts
factory growing during the sea-
SON of 1929. II those people,
especially wjo did not secure
satisfactory growth from their trees
during the past year, will recall
where growth was secured think
they will find that more twig growth
and leaf development was secured
where terminal buds were left. When
a tree natures its growth in the
fall the terminal or end buds of the
twig seems to secure more than the
normal amount of foot material and
to- be a little better protected than
the buds along the side of the twig.
This fact should be kept clearly in
mind in the pruning of such trees as
peaches and apricots where some in
jury was bound to have occurred
during winter like the present one.
The pruning of these trees then
this spring should be such as will
leave as many Of these terminal buds
as possible without leaving too much
growth from last season upon the
tree. In other words pruning follow
ing severe winter should be done
by thinning out of twigs rather than
by any heading back of twigs that
are to be left. The County
Agent personally saw this clearly
demonstrated in an orchard last year.
Trees which had been pruned, early
before the severe weather, had prac-
tically no crop nor did they produce
the growth of trees which were CIV
en- very light thinning with pruning
following the severe winter weather.
For young peaches and apricots we
believe it to be almost safe to leave
them without any pruning or very
little thinning out this spring in or
der to bring them through in the best
condition
