WINESAP HARVEST IN
FULL SWING NEXT week

The rains last Saturday and the
fore part of the week have settled the
dust. helped the roads and cooled the
atmosphere. 1t has also aided mater
tally in the coloring of the Winesaps
and the harvesting of that crop will
he in full swing by the first of next
week. The yield in some of the or
chards will probably not be as large
as last year, while in others it will
be heavier but the total tonnage of
Wines is expected to equal if not ex-
coed that of 1929. AS general thing
the apples are larger than last year
and have taken on a lot of color this
week. The cash offers at this time are
not very satisfactory and as a result
many of the Winesaps will go into
storage unless the prices take an up
ward swing by the time the apples
are packed

BENTON COUNTY GAINS
40 FARMS IN 10 YEARS

According to figures recently re-
leased by the Federal Census Bureau,
Benton county ranks tenth In the list
of twenty counties in the State OF
Washington that have made gain in
the number of farms during the last
ten years. Nineteen counties, most
east Of the Cascades, show a loss in
number of farms between the years
1920 and 1880. Benton countys gain
in that time is 40 farms or eleven
per cent. The state as whole showed
a gain of 7.6 per cent.
In 1920 Benton county had 1919
farms. In 1925 the number jumped to
1841 but by 1880 it had dropped off
again to 1859, a loss of Isl in five
years but a gain of 40 over the ten
year period.

ANNOUNCES THREE.DAY
POULTRY SCHOOL DATES

Arrangements have just been COM
pleted for the dates for a three-day
poultry school to be held in the Pros
ser community November 9th, 9TH,
and 9Th, Tentative dates for this
school had been made for October
9th, 10th and 18th, but because Of
County it was felt that a later date
would be much more satisfactory to
the majority of the poultrymen and
hence, the change to the above dates.
The school coming on the above
dates will Pit it comparatively early
in the fall program of the poultry
men, when there will be considerable
interest in problems of feed and man.
agement of the laying flock, and
from this angle should draw a large
attendance. 1t will also come at a
time when turkey producers will be
able to get many suggestions for the
handling of the turkey flock.
Coming this early in the fall should
be of considerable advantage to the
poultrymen from away from Prosser,
and even those Immediately about
Prosser. The last two years cold
weather coming just at the time OF
the poultry school has interfered
seriously with poultrymen wanting
to get away.
We suggest that poultrymen make
note of the above dates and try to
shift other possible dates away from
these so that they may be able to
attend. Mi. w. D. Buchanan, Exten-
sion Poultryman, and either Pro-
lessor Carver Of the main Station, or
Mr.. Miller of the Western Station
and Mr.. r. M. Turner of the Farm
management Department will assist
at this school.

MY IMPRESSIONS OF THE
FRESHMAN INITIATION
(By a Freshman)

For three days the upper classmer
tried to make us feel that we were
poor Worms and only partially sue
ceeded. They made us girls come tc
school with our hair braided in little
pigtales that stuck out all over oui
head and insisted that we tie them
with red, green, and orange. That
was not so bad! The boys had te
carry dolls. They had big ones ane
little ones, and middle sized ones. We
had to come in the side door of the
school house and eat our lunches to-
gether at the back of the building
The boys had to clear the baseball
diamond and soccer field of weed.
while we girls had to help straighter
up the books in the library and ir
the office. This we had to do before
school and at noon. Well the whole
thing ended Friday night, when the
Student Body invited us to party.
This party is known as the Fresh
man, Sophomore Party. All the High
School students are there. The Sopho-
mores have charge and the Freshman
furnish the amusement at the begin
ming of the evening. for about an
hour and a half.
They tried to scare us to death by
shutting us in the typewriting room
under guard, each one being taken
there Immediately upon arrival. There
they told us all about what was going
to happen at the initiation in few
minutes. Then they took us to the
gym blindfolded, and made US Walk
the Plank, Q by twelve, laid on the
floor with pieces of gas pipe for
rollers. We rolled pretty well, THO
there were always upper classmen to
catch us if we fell. Then they made us
take an oath to support the school
and kiss the Sophomore Bible GALL OF
this blindfolded) which was the big
school dictionary out of the study
hall, If we refused or did not behave
they feed us spoonful of cod liver
oil.
After the initiation was over, all
present danced to music furnished by
the students and Mrs. Underhill. Later
in the evening refreshments were SER
we'd by the Freshmen. They were
very nice, consisting Of cake, sand
witches, and salad. After the first ef-
fects of the initiation wore off the
freshmen entered into the spirit OF
the high school parties and everyone
went home feeling that they had had
a splendid time and that the first
high school party had been decided
success. Several parents were present
and enjoyed seeing the fun and we
were glad to have them enjoy our
good time.
