Sour Grapes

Sour grapefruit for the green
eyed monster-Jealousy. Do you like
them? Nobody likes them. Yet, all
of us at times thrive on them.
1t seems as if this character-des-
troying influence grows on people
from infancy. Even little children,
who are envious of their playmates'
possessions, scorn the things which
they cannot have. They have the
feeling that so many of us experience
of wishing to destroy others pleasure
in things because they, themselves,
are unable to have them.
And it is not only material things
which are coveted. Traits of charact-
er, athletic abilities, and individual
istic actions are but a few of the
many things which some people take
pleasure in running down" because
they are unable to possess them.
We should remember whenever we
see something which it is impossible
to have, that even if we can't have it,
it is just as worthy of commentator,
anyway, and that when we stOop to
run it down." we are only detracting
from our own good character and
making ourselves susceptible to some
body's spiteful declaration of-Sour

Evangelistic Meetings
Will Continue Next Week

Evangelists j. T. Jacobs and H. A.
Schultz will continue the Bible lecture
course they are giving at Liberty hall
every night during the coming week
except Thursday.
The evangelists say that this will be
one of the best weeks, as subjects of
interest and Importance are yet to be
considered, and that those who have
always been planning to come but
have not yet attended should not de-
lay longer
During the week December 6-13, Rev
Schultz says that some of the follow
ing exceptional subjects will be con-
sidered: Billions of Gold and Millions
in Want; What Are the Seven Last
Plaques, Upon Whom Will They Fall
and Why?"; Seeing the United States
Through the Bible Telescope; Twill
God Hold Person Responsible if he
is led astray by False Teacher?";
Gods Insurance Policy Against Fin

standing subjects.
All are invited to hear these inter-
esting topics.

The temperature on the morning OF
the 26th, degrees above zero, is the
lowest recorded by this thermometer
for any date in November for the last
10 years. These readings were: 1921,
IL above; 1922, 10 above; 1923, II
above: 1924, % above; 1925, % above;
1926, 26 above; 1927, 81 above; 1928,
% above; 1929, 8 above; $780, 10
above; and 1881, above.
The government records for the
Eastern Division of Washington show
that during the last Is years there
were much lower temperatures at some
other points in this part of the state
during November than was recorded
here For instance, in 1896 some place
turned in record of % below; in
1921, IA below; 1924, below; 1929,

Dates Are Set for
Pruning Demonstrations

Pruning demonstration meetings
have been scheduled for the county
for December ID and is, states E. G.
Durdle, county agent. Definite loca-
lions for these meetings have not yet
been arranged but meetings will be
held in every large community of the
county. j. t. Bregger, extension horti-
culturist at the state college will be
present to assist with these demonstra-
ton meetings.
"Let us remind you again, says Mr..
Durdle, that many of our older trees
are coming to point where a differ
ent system of pruning needs to be fol-
lowed. Pruning should also be closely
correlated with the fertilizer program.
The pruning habits of the tree should
also be taken into consideration in the
pruning and fertilization program and
all of these things will be considered
at these meetings.
young trees are receiving consider
able attention and young trees pruned
last year will be followed up this year
SO that those interested in the pruning
of the two and three year old stock
may get clear idea of the recon-
mendations to be made by Mr.. Breg-
ger"

Ladies' Aid Bazaar
Is Well PatroniZed

Considering the weather, the crowd
at the Ladies' Aid bazaar, held in
the Presbyterian church parlors Mon
day evening, was very satisfactory IN
size, and the ladies are highly pleased
at the outcome of the sale, all of the
booths doing good business. There
were a few articles of fancywork left
over, which are still for sale and which
may be seen at the home of Mrs. Harry
Foltz. These include linen luncheon
sets and towels, hand decorated, at
very reasonable prices. About $500
was taken in Monday evening by the
various bazaar booths, the net proceeds
of which will be used to purchase a
heating unit for the basement of the
church
Refreshments for the evening, which
we're served by the Sunday School,
netted $14.50, which will go into the
general fund of the Sunday School.

In White Bluffs and from her the

1.-THE decreased deaths and death
rate from tuberculosis" says Mrs. Will
kinson, "sets new low mark for the
state and every effort must be made
to hold the ground thus won. Ground
lost in the fight against tuberculosis
is not only hard to regain but it al
so costs human lives. I feel certain
the people of Benton county will re-
spond to this need.
''This is the twenty-fifth annual
Christmas Seal Sale. The money con-
tributed goes directly into the pre-
ventive program which has cut the
death rate from this disease in the
United States more than half since
the work started.
Again, your cooperation, so gener-
ouSly gwen III tlle PdsI, ID edlHeoIly
solicited"
Purchase of Christmas seals should
not be considered an act of charity
but rather as means of obtaining
health insurance for the purchaser and
the members of his family
OF each dollar purchase of seals 60c
stays in Benton county, 35c goes to
the State tuberculosis Association and
SC to the National League. The seals
are no part of the Red Cross work
They are called Christmas Seals" or

Orchard Mice Do Much
Damage During Winter
By County Agent f. c. Durdle

Several reports have come to the
county agents office of the prevalence
of orchard mice in orchards this fall.
Observation of many orchards will al
so show heavy cover crop conditions OF
one kind or another, in many cases,
weeds. Judging from present climatic
conditions we may expect at least a
long and possibly rather severe win
ter It is under just such conditions
heavy cover crop and long winter, that
orchard mice do considerable damage
| to the orchard.
In the upper valley thousands OF
pounds of poison bait have been USED
every winter to control this pest. Oul
more or less isolated location for oul
orchards has probably been the main
cause for less damage in this county
than in the more thickly planted val
ley above. Orchard mice first made
their appearance in this county ano
did considerable damage, and there
have been a few places within the
county where we have had damage
W1Cllll1 OllC 4CW yCeblC oCSe]tos
of this we would warn orchardists tc
check orchard conditions carefully
both as to the possibility of mice in
the orchard and to the cover crop con-
ditions.
Cover crops should be removed from
close proximity to the trunk under any
circumstance so as to remove harbor-
ing place for the mice Immediately
about the tree trunk. If many mice
are found in the orchard, then poison
oats such as those handled by the drug
stores or through the county agents
office should be distributed immedi-
ately in the run ways and preferably
on some clear quiet night when the
mice will be more active and when il
should be possible to secure a high
percentage of kill. For further infor-
nation see or write your county agri-
cultural agent.

Sesbania Proves Value
AS Cover Crop
BY County Agent E. G. Durdle

Because of the comparatively good
showing made by Sesbania last sea-
son, even though planted late, we are
ordering for experimental purposes this
next year 100 pounds of this seed to
be distributed to anyone wishing to
try out small lots of this cover crop.
The usual rate of seeding is 40 pounds
to the acre. The seed is very small
and the above rate of seeding applied
broadcast or with the drill should pro-
vide good stand. Anyone interested
in securing small lot of this may
get in touch with the county agent
at an early date.
Many have asked in regard to posi-
bility of the crop as a pasture crop but
information which we have received
indicates that it has no known value
other than fertilizer crop. Seeding,
of course, is not done until warm wea-
tller, and under our conditions 1T may
be seeded anytime from the middle
Of May through to the latter part OF
July We would recommend, however,
that it be used as summer cover
crop following the removal OF an early
crop such as potatoes, lettuce, or peas,
spinach or any other early truck crop.
1t has often produced eight feet of
growth in eight weeks time in the I'm
perial Valley and other areas where
climatic and water conditions are ia
vorable. From all the information we
can gather our position here is about
right for the production of a good crop
and would like to see number try out
small lot of this seed for another
year. 1t will add more nitrogen and
humus over short period of time
than probably any other plant now
known.
