RAIN AND WIND END
LONG HOT SPELL

A general rain, in which this val
ley shared last Friday, brought to
an end one of the longest hot spells
on record. The heat, at least in this
district, was not excessive, but the
duration of the warm spell exceeded
by far that of ordinary years.
Altogether it has been a rather
tough and unusual year. Beginning
last fall with it's long dry spell, fol-
lowed by the exceptionally long per-
iod of low temperatures in January
and the early part of February, and
topped off by the longest hot and
dry period on record, the antics OF
the thermometer cause one to wonder
if something hasn't gone naywire
with the weather calander.
The rain Friday night was sup
plemented Monday evening by an
other good shower and since then
the temperature has moderated con-
siderably and life seems worth living
again. The rain Monday night was
preceded by hard wind but ex-
cept where trees were isolated the
amount of fruit blown off was neg
ligible.

COLLEGE RECOMMENDS
WHEAT FOR PDRKERS

Put your porker on wheat ration
for cheap and rapid gains, suggests
Hector Mcdonald, extension animal
husbandman. Experiments conducted
at the State College Of Washington
have shown that hogs fattened on
wheat require less feed per unit of
gain than when fattened on corn or
barley.
Approximately one and one half
bushels of BIS pounds of ground
wheat produced 100 lbs, of pork in
the State College experiments. With
hogs selling around 10 cents h.,
this would place the value of wheat
as hog feed at approximately $1.54
per bushel AS there is very little
difference in the price of wheat and
corn at present, and as wheat is
n1uh more abundant than corn IN
Washington, it should prove bon
ANA to pork producers in the State.
Best results are obtained by feed
ing tankage or some other similar
high protein supplement with the
wheat. In the experiments at the State
College, the pigs were settled a
balanced ration of ground wheat and
7 per cent digester tankage which
tested 60 per cent protein. The wheat
should always be ground or rolled, or
if the whole grain is used, soaked
for IL hours before feeding.
Not only do hogs make good gains
on wheat but the packers are es-
pecially well pleased with wheat-fed
porkers because the carcasses are
firmer and less oily than those fat
tened on other grains.
Further particulars concerning
wheat rations for hogs may be Sc
cured by getting in touch with your
county agent or by writing to the
extension husbandman, State College
of Washington, Pullman.

CHILD INJURED WHEN
RUN OVER BY CAR

Elizabeth Heideman, 5-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. A., H.
Heideman, was knocked down
this, Friday, afternoon by car
driven by Mrs. Joseph Hemker,
and severe cash cut in her fore
head, just above the eye. The child
had started to follow an older
brother across the road near the
Codding-Heideman warehouse, and
when about half way across, turned
and ran back. Witnesses of the
accident exonerate Mrs. Hemker
from any blame as the child's &C
tion was too sudden and unexpect-
ed to permit any change in the
course of the car.
The little girl was given imme-
date first aid treatment by Or.
Newton before being taken to Ken
newick to have the wound treated
by surgeon.

Investigate
Before Selling
Says E. S. Gill
Growers Secretary Says
Fall Apple Offers
Are Too Low

The Wenatchee Daily World of
Auguse 20, featured the following
story across the top OF the front
page:
81 want to appeal to the growers
of this district not to sell their APP
pies to buyers offering. low cash
prices without first making inquiries
to learn what they are worth" said
E. S. Gill, secretary of the Growers
Association this morning.
"Only this morning 1 learned of
case where shipper was quoting
Winter Bananas for shipment August
25th at $1.25 per box. The grower
who lets his Winter Bananas go for
that price for shipment on the 25th
is simply giving away Is cents box.
Sales have been made from this dis
trict for delivery on that date at $1.50
per box, as the early Winter Banan-
as that are matured always are in
demand as a reasonable price.
"Also report came to- me of Of
fers of combination ions for shipment
September 10 at $1.40. This is from
twenty to twenty-five cents and 35
cents below what many believe they
should sell for. The buyer is not to be
blamed for securing apples at much
less than the current market price if
the grower is foolish enough to sell
them to him at his figures. But why
do it? Why not take advantage of the
Growers Association and find out by
telephone what prices are prevailing. ?
CAT the economic conference held
in Seattle August 18th to consider
opening prices ON various varieties
it was agreed that in view of the
present financial and business con-
ditions and the large amount of early
fall apples in the east being forced on
the market ahead of time by the
drouth and hot weather, that it would
be wise to start out on ions on the
base Of $1.25 per boA for e4.Slas, nut
ready sales have been vigorous enough
to justify and advance to $1.35 in the
opinion of several of the largest ship
pers and they have made sales the
last two days at the later figure.
"To the growers would say don't
be so ,pessimistic because home mar
ket bear comes along and tries to
make you believe you ought to almost
pay him for taking your apples off
your hands. Make some inquiries be-
fore you sell, find out what your mar
ket is really worth and get the high
est price obtainable."

Young and Thurrlm received a let
ter this week from ]. E. Nessly of
Seattle, former editor of Grange News
but at present editor-rnanagek of
Grange Facts, ordering three boxes
of Hale peaches, two to be sent to
him at Seattle, and one to. his son,
w. V. Nessly, Assistant managing
editor of the Washington Post, at
Washington, D. c. Mr.. Messy said
that some one sent him box of the
Hale peaches from the Young &
Thumm ranch last summer and that
they were the best peaches ever
saw or tasted, and the largest Mr..
Thumm said that they would fill the
order. Shipping peaches as far as
Washington, D. c., and have them
arrive in good condition is something
Of a risk but if it can be done it
would be quite an advertisement fo1
this valley.
Fred Rea was over from Seattle
this week sizing up the various fruit
crops he expects to handle this year.
Clarke and Parke were busy this
week harvesting their crop of Hale
peaches. The crop was exceptionally
good, both as to size and quality.
The dried prune crop for the Pa
cific Northwest was predicted to be
between SO and go million pounds.
The condition of all apples in the
United States was reported on August
l, at 40 per cent of normal. This
indicates a crop of 100000 bushels
which would be about 80 per cent
more than the short 1929 crop and
about four-fifths of the average pro-
duction for the previous five years.
The condition of the commercial
crop was reported at 81 per cent, and
the production forecasted at 30,722,0C0
barrels, which would be about 60 per
cent more than last year and :. J'st
SO per cent less than the average for
the previous five years
The Cunberland-S Shenandoah re-
gion has suffered severely from short
age of water and high temperatures.
There has been no relief during the
first ten days of August and the
crop has individually suffered fur
Their loss. In New York, northern
Pennsylvania, and in the northern
her of states westward to Minnesota,
heat and lack of moisture has not
been so serious, and prospects are
somewhat better. The New England
and WESTERN States are the only
sections of the country where there
IS promise of an average or better
than average crop. In California,
Oregon and Washington, good crops
are expected.

REGISTRATION IS CLOSE
TO 100 PER CENT HERE

When the period for registration
for the primary election closed Tues
day night, the books showed that a
total of 335 persons had qualified to
vote in the White Bluffs precinct,
206 in the Hanford precinct and IS IN
columbia, or up-river, precinct. These
figures do not include those voters
who registered in the three precincts
in 1928, but who have since moved
away.
The registration in these three
precincts is pretty close to one
hundred per cent and is believed to
be far more complete than in most
of the precincts in the county.
The registration books will remain
closed now until after the primary
election on September g.

The annual Mission festival cele-
brated by the Lutheran church last
Sunday was well attended. The Heide-
mann place proved to be ideal for
such an occasion. The two sermons
in the morning and the afternoon
were delivered by the Rev. w. Lueck-
ell of Leavenworth which brought
forth many expressions of gratitude.
A pleasing sum was gathered for the
various missionary enterprises. The
noon hour was occupied by visiting
and also by doing justice to the
splendid lunch that was served by
the ladies. There were four cars with
visitors from Kennewick.

TWO FARMERS ORDER
QUARTER TON CELEBRATES

Two farmers of the county, one in
the Hanford community and the 9TH
er in the Benton City community,
have ordered better than quarter of
a ton of CELEBRATES for the control of
perennial weeds on their farms. They
say while CELEBRATES are expensive,
wider distribution of weeds over the
farm would be still more expensive
and attempts at control by cultiva-
ton seem to offer nothing in the way
of cheaper control.
A quarter of ton will treat ap-
proximately an acre of ground.

"
The change in temperature, with
warm days and cool nights, that has
prevailed quite generally for the past
week, is ideal for the maturing of the
Jonathans. The apples are taking on
both size and color and as most OF
the trees are heavily loaded many
growers are finding it necessary to
provide additional props. A few OF
the growers did some color picking
this week. This will tighten up the
load on the trees and help them ma
ture the balance of the crop. The
Jonathan harvest is expected to get
under way next week.
William Schroeder of the Walter
Bowen company of Seattle was IN the
valley the first of the week ano
while here purchased two cars OF
Elberta peaches. The price to the
growers was IS cents per box.
The American Fruit Growers ex
poets to roll one ana PoS0iDty Nv"
cars of Jonatnans next TUESDAY
These will probably be the first cars
of ions to roll from the valley this
year, and very likely the first from
any of the districts in the Northwest
The reported price is Sl.eo for the
1856 and larger and S1.75 tor the
five tier, for Fancys and better.

While over from Olympia the first
of the week; Mrs. Ada $. Novel;
sold her crop of King David apples.
Both quality and quantity were ex-
ceptionally good this year.
The practise OF using fertilizers
and doing a more consistent job OF
spraying, begun In this valley
couple of years ago, is beginning to
show results, both in increased ton
mage and better and cleaner fruit.

GRAPES

The condition of grapes was re-
ported on August l, at 800 per cent
which is nearly 80 per cent higher
than the 10 year average condition.
The crop of 2,350,00O tons is ex-
pected to be about 100 per cent
larger than the 1929 crop, but just
about the same as the tive year
average 1o24-1o2S. Drouth conditions
seem to have been less detrimental
to the grape crop than any of the
other generally grown fruits. Inc
weather has been conductive to good
quality of fruit, but the berries may
be small.
The warehouses in town have been
working internationally this week,
cleaning UP the last of the Winter
Banana apples and some pears and
peaches. Both of them expect to be
working on Jonathans next week. The
Codding -Heidemann and the Hawley
packing houses, in the country ex-
pect to get underway again next week
the exact date depending on the con-
dition of maturity of the Jonathans.
