Effort To Be Made to Interest
Uncle Sam In This Project

petition directed to Congressman John w. Summers
urging that he his influence with the U. S. Recama
ton Service to make an investigation of the irrigation
among the water right owners here. Mr.. Summers has
said that he would be very glad to do this if the water
right requested it and Dr. Elwood Mead head of
the Reclamation Service said his recent tour of the
West that his department always interested in pro-
jects in distress.
If this investigation be brought about the Recla
nation Service will be in position to give valuable advice
and counsel on the form Of organization that should be
adopted by the water right owners in taking over the
properties at the recevershp SALE The information thus
acquired by the should be of aid to the
Federal Water Power Board in making proper reclama
ton reservations when considering future applications for
the development of the Priest Rapids power site. 1t
might also influence the government in developing the
Columbia Basin project in units making Priest Rapids
the first developed and including land on both sides
of the Columbia.

SOME APPLES BLOWN OFF
TREES BY WIND STORM

The wind storm last Sunday night
played havoc with the power and tele-
phone lines and kept the crews for
both companies busy that night and
early the next morning trying to pro-
vide uninterrupted service. The wind
also blew some apples off the trees.
The orchards along the river north
of town seemed to be hit the hardest.
The varieties mostly affected were the
larger ones such as Romes, Delicious
and Spitz. Some Winesaps were also
blown off but except in few of the
orchards along the river, the loss in
this variety was comparatively small.
The rain, accompanied by con-
siderable thunder and lightning, that
threatened all evening, did not amount
to much, the center of the storm pass
ing to the east Of this valley.

The 1880 AGRICULTURAL
YEAR BOOK NOW READY

The latest 1880 Agricultural Year
Book contains valuable information on
dairying, fruit and vegetables, crops,
cooperative marketing, poultry, wheat
statistics, plant and fruit diseases,
farm animals, marketing in foreign
countries and many other subjects of
general interest to farmers.
Fol the first time the edition will be
designated as of the year in which
it is issued and not for the year COW
cred by the survey, and so the pre-
sent edition is known as the 1880
Year Book. No edition will be de-
signated as the 1929 Year Book.
AS long as available, copy of this
interesting and instructive book Of
1880 pages may be had by any farmer
who requests it of Congressman John

CAR HITS LIVE WIRE

While on their way to White Bluffs
last Sunday evening, Mr.. and Mrs.
Joe Cooper Of Hanford ran into a
wire that had been blown down in
the storm, SCATTERING the windshield
of their car. When they reached White
Bluffs, Mr. Cooper reported the mat
ter to d. S. Wilkinson, thinking it
was one of the telephone lines. Mr.
Wilkinson offered to replace the
windshield but when he went down to
repair the line short time later he
found the broken wire, laying beside
the road was live power line,
charged with 5000 volts. He report
ed the matter to Mr.. Kingman, i'm
mediately who switched the load off
and repaired the line.

u. S. BREEDING INSECTS
TO DESTROY CROP PESTS

In It's fight against destructive In
sects the United States Department
Of Agriculture has enlisted the SER
vices Of an almost invisible insect para
site that produces not only twins but
also multiple sets OF twins inside the
eggs of other insects.
This little parasite, which scientists
call Trichogramma rninutura, has been
bred by the Bureau of Entomology at
the Government laboratory in Brown
wood, Tex, for two years, and ar
rangements are now being made to
propagate it in the laboratory at AL
bany, Ga. When the bureau has pro-
duced sufficient quantity of the
little parasites, they will be liberated
in pecan groves in the South in the
hope that they will help control an
insect pest known as the nut case
bearer. This parasite is being studied
so at the Moorestown, N. j., lab
oratory and propagated in experiment
tai numbers. 1t is planned to produce
it in large quantities, if possible, for
liberation in orchards to determine
whether it will help in the control
of the oriental fruit moth.
Two small wasplike parasites. which
lay their eggs in the grub of the fruit
moth, are also being propagated at
Moorestown for release at the most
effective time to PARASITIC the larva
of this pest. The wasp grubs nourish
themselves on their hosts and grad
ually devour them. An attempt will
be made soon in the multiplication OF
one or two parasites which are pro-
missing for use against the cooling
moth, pest which produces worms
in apples. If it can be shown that
these beneficial insects can be practi-
cally reared in large numbers and
liberated in orchards in way to as
sist materially in insect control,
doubtless work of this character will
be undertaken by interested States.
This is not the first time the De-
partment of Agriculture has bred
enemies for insects. Work of this
character has been going on for many
years. In the case of the gypsy and
brown tail moths, and more recently.
of the European corn borer, many
parasites have been imported, pro-
pagated, and liberated, as well as pre-
datory insects, such as the Calosoma
beetle, very valuable ally in the
struggle with the gypsy moth.

CORRECT MEASUREMENTS
FOR CORD OF WOOD

The quantity Of wood sold q 4
cord" has been found to vary from
one-third Of legal cord In some To-
;alities to as much as a cord and a
half in others. The legal cord IN the
United States, according to the Forest
Service of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, is a stack OF wood
feet wide, 4 feet high. and teet
long, equivalent to l28 cubic feet.
In certain region of Virginia, when
farmers sell a cord" OF pulpwood
they deliver 1870 cubic feet of wood,
nearly one and one-half times the
amount of wood in legal cord. And
in central New York the man who
buys cord" of sllovewood gets a.
bout one-third of a legal cord. Farmers
in North Carolina, now selling con-
siderable quantities of pulpwood, gen
erally assume that cord of pulpwood
is 100 cubic feet, although firewood is
sold in incorporated towns OF the State
according to the law which specifics
that a cord shall consist of pile Of
wood feet long, 4 feet wide, and a
feet high-tle legal cord in the
United States.
To eliminate the likelihood of costly
misunderstanding w. R. NATION,
extension forester, Forest Service,
proposes set of specific terms to
identify the different amounts of wood
which in accordance with local custom
are sold as cord. He would call a
stack of wood by by 4 feet
STANDARD cord,'a stack 8 by 4 by S
feet .slong cord" or one and one
quarter standard cords, and a stack
of stovewood by feet by IL inches
a Short cord" or one-fourth standard
cord.
There are many points to be con-
sidered in dealing with cord, the
Forest Service says. A standard cord
contains 1913 cubic feet of space. The
open space between the sticks of wood
varies widely with different lots of
wood. Straight sticks lie close together
and cord of them will contain more
wood than cord of crooked sticks.
If standard cord of 4-foot sticks is
cut into stove lengths it will stack
up in less space because the wood
will lie closer or more solid, since
shortening the sticks lessons the crooks
ard therefore decreases the space
wasted by them. The smaller the
sizes of sticks in the stack the more
vacant space and the less actual a.
mount of wood. Common usage gives
an equivalent of go cubic feet of solid
wood in a standard cord; or in terms
of board feet, 500 board feet per cord.

Hanford Community hall Saturday
evening Of this week The affair has
been we'll advertised through some
very attractive posters gotten out by
the Commercial Club committee that

Winesaps To
Be Featured
For First Time
Funds Have Been Set
Aside BY Bureau To
Boost This Variety

This season for the first time since
apple advertising was undertaken by
the Washington Boxed Apple bureau
will Winesap apples be featured in
the campaign and receice their share
of the fluids collected, according to
]. w. Hebert, manager of the Yak
ina Fruit Growers association, as
reported in the Yakima Herald.
"H apple advertising is needed any
season, this is the year when it should
be conducted" Hebert asserted in
speaking of the campaign in general.
I'VE should stimulate the use of ap-
pies and tell the consumers when the
different varieties are best for eat
ing So they may go to market in their
proper season.
Apple Week Planned
According to the plans outlined,
we will advertise and devote ample
coverage of funds to move Jonathan
apples, Then, national apple week
campaign will be conducted to fea-
ture other early winter varieties, such
as Spitzenburgs, Delicious and Romes.
The Christmas campaign again will
be a part of the program, and the
slogan, A box of apples under every
Christmas tree,' will be featured The
advertising material will be put in the
hands of the wholesale and retail
trade by December 1, in order that
they may place orders for the Christ
mas requirements in ample time.
Export Manual in Demand
1--WE will reserve for the advertis-
ing of Winesaps a portion of the
funds equal to the percentage of the
total that the Winsap variety con-
stitutes. The money allotted to Wine
saps will be expended in late winter
and spring months
Hebert spoke enthusiastically of
the unusual demand for the export
manual from affiliated business con-
Germs.
"The 1000 copies of the export
manual have been distributed and the
supply exhausted, and we have order
ed 1000 more" Hebert remarked. "The
call for the manual has come not only
from the trade, but from the steam
ship companies, banks having export
departments, both abroad and in the
United States, and railroad lines hav-
ing an export department"

Morris Explains
Processes OF
Apple coloring
Growers Observations
Coincide With Views
OF Scientists

Diverse views are held by grow
ers concerning color development in
apples. but in the main their obser-
vations coincide with the conclusions
reached by scientists. The chemistry
Of color changes in fruits is extremely
complicated, according to Professor
O. M. Morris Of the Washington
State college, hence the chemists are
reluctant to make definite statements
bearing on the subject.
"Color development nearly always
occurs in connection with the cessa-
ton of growth caused by violent
chtnges of temperature, cold being
generally more effective than heat,
violent Quotations in food supply,
slow developing drouth being more
effective than excessive water supply,
or any combination of these conditions
that result in stoppage OF growth
and the approach of breakdown which
is commonly thought of as a ripening
process" said Professor Morris.
Dryness Causes High Color
Excessive dryness of the air, which
often results in congested condition
of the tree top resulting in an excess
deposit of digested and partly di-
gested plant food materials in the
parts of the treetop adjacent to
the foliage, nearly always results
in high color development accompan-
led by rapid increase in sugar con-
tent of the fruits, twigs and leaves
This same process seems to be CO.
existent with an extremely marked
reduction in the acid content of the
plant sap.
"The color material in apples is
composed mostly of two substances
called anthocyanin and carotin. The
former is a product of the breakdown
of chlorophyll, while the latter is not.
Neither of these materials ordinarily
exists in the plant in large quantities
during rapid growth processes. Some
Psychologists have claimed that these
materials are manufactured In the
leaves and then moved into the fruit.
There is a good reason to believe that
a large part of the anthocyanin OF
the red material is made in the part
exhibiting it after the process of chem
ical formation is completed.
Carotin Makes Yellow
s'The carotin material is of rela-
lively little importance. 1t composes
most of the yellow coioring pigment
in yellow apples and in the yellow
foliage and bark.
'.I have found in my color studies
of apples that the intensity of the red
in an apple is proportionate to the
green in the apple before the change
of color takes place and that in prac-
tically all cases the formation of the
red was coexistent with a cessation of
size increase.
"The development of red color in
fruits is not necessarily coexistent
with foliage functioning. The red ap-
pies, such as the Mcintosh, Arkan-
sas Black and Gano, that are removed
from the tree in the thinning pro-
cess in the early summer,
often lodge in the cover crop where
they are not fully exposed to the sun
to dry them and are found to change
to bright red and exist in that form
for weeks after hey are removed
from the tree. Such fruits are per-
fectly green when taken from the
tree"

BUSTING INTO BASE BALL
'How Broke Into the Major Leagues"
BY JIMMY DYKES,
As told to John f. Mccain.

w YHEN I first started out as a
M base ball player my biggest
v v fight was to overcome home
sickness, and the "call of the
fireside" was so strong that it almost
blasted my career on the diamond.
It's pretty tough to be out battling
away from home when only a kid IN
years, and many promising youngster
never reaches the top because he is I'M
able to fight down the urge to get back
home.
My first break away from home was
in the Spring of 1915, when Jack Hay
den. the former American League out
fielder, got me a chance to play with
the Portland, Me-, team, then man
aged by Hughie Duffy, and went will
ingly enough, strong in the belief that
I'd make good. Things went well
enough for me, but after two weeks
got so violently homesick that packed
up my belongings and took night
train for my home in Bryn Mawr, Pa,
where I again started playing semi-pro
ball.
The next Spring, however, I tried it
again and this time I won out in the
big scrap, but only after a terrific battle
NGAlG W ocd1OiQ, III tIle 6dSJSAl EotlOIc
League, and here Mike. Drennen, scout
for Connie Mack, found me and de-
cided was worth trial in the majors.
didn't get there so quickly, however,
but spent the year 1917 with Gettys-
burg in the Blue Ridge League before I
came to the AS, to remain ever since,
with the exception of several months
with the Atlanta team in the Southern
League.
1t was against the Boston Red Sox
that I obtained my actual start in the
