skating pond in Washington Spring
Park has been made during the past
week, and the ground is now ready
for rolling, preparatory to turning
the water into it.
The pond, approximately IS by 1876
feet in size, has been leveled so that
at no place will it be more than one

embankment has been built on all
four sides.
The pond will be flooded either by
the use of a pipe line from the breast
of the mill dam, or by the use of an
automatic pump. 1t will be put to use
as soon as good freezing weather ar
rives.

PARENTS should feel proud and
extremely happy over the report re-
Gently made by DIR. George E. Clarke,
county health officer, to the effect that
less than one per cent of school chill
dren examined to date had physical
defects which should be corrected this
fall. Such low percentage among
the one thousand school children al
ready examined may be taken as an
indication of what the result would
be among all of the school children of
the county.
To be healthy, wealthy and wise, it
is necessary, usually, to be healthy be-
fore the other two will follow. With
good health it is much easier to learn,
statistics have shown, and with good
health and knowledge the chances are
better for the third desire.
Good health is a wonderful asset,
and Garrett county is full of good
health. .'.

old, All Club member and student
in the vocational agriculture class of
Oakland High School, realized yield
of 440 bushels of certified seed pota-
toes from one acre, he set a record
that will be hard to beat.
He did more than set record. He
showed what can be done if anyone
cares to take seriously the raising Of
potatoes. He showed what the adop-
ton of modern methods means in
raising any crop. He showed the
value of starting with good seed. He
showed that with real and earnest
work he could and did obtain results.

Contractors Finish
New Oiled Road

Residents of this valley this week
have been enjoying riding over their
first home oiled road.
The construction crew of the Diesel
Oil Company that had the contract
for oiling the White Bluffs Hanford
road, finished the job last Sunday
and left for Hover, where they have
another oiling job for Benton county.
While still little soft in places,
the road is packing nicely and with
continued travel, it is believed will,
in a short time, compare favorably
with other oiled roads in this section
of the state.
The little rocks that appeared on
the surface when the oiling was first
done, are gradually being worked into
the road and it is thought that even
tually most of them will disappear
While they are still loose on the sur
face, however, it will probably be adj
visable for motorists not to crowd too
close preceding car as they may
have a broken windshield to replace.
For the next month, during which
the road will be little soft, it is urged
that horses and wagons be kept off
as both have tendency to mar the
surface until the road is thoroughly
packed.

Home Team Wins, 4 to 2
In Eleven Inning Game

In well played and closely con-
tested game, the ball club made up of
Hanford and White Bluffs players
emerged victorious over the heretofore
unbeaten Richland club at Hanford
last Sunday by score of to 2, but
they had to travel IL innings to do it.
Zip Cords was in the box for the
team from this valley and as the day
was hot Zip was at his best, keeping
the hits well scattered. He received
good support, only few hobbies in
the field being made.
The lineup Sunday was: Zip Cords,
pitcher; Russ Webber, catcher; Swede
Cords and Bill Syfford, LIST base; Leo
Weber, End base; Hartman, Short
stop; Joe Wagner, Bird base; Renting
err, McConnachie and Walker, out
fielders.
Stung by the defeat, the Richland
club asked for and was granted re-
turn engagement between the two
teams. The game will be played in
Hanford next Sunday. AS the two clubs
appear to be evenly matched, the
game should draw good crowd Of
fans.

Peach Harvest Is

The fruit harvest In the valley has

Shade Trees Are
Given Oil Spray

The locust trees In the parking strips
on Federal Avenue in White Eluffs as
we'll as the shade trees and shrubhery
around several of tho homes in town
were given an oil spray Saturday OF
last week and Monday and Tuesday
of this week In an effort to rid them
of the red spider that has been par
ticularly active this year The spray
ing was done by r. D. Barge.
Working on the under side of the
leaves, the red spider, which derives
it's sustenance from the tender young
shoots, sucks the life blood OF the
foliage and the leaves shrivel and turn
brown, giving the trees and shrubs the
appearance of having an insufficient
supply of water.
The spread of the pest has been
quite general this year in the fruit
districts OF the state, attacking shrub
berry and some of the varieties of
shade trees as we'll as many of the
fruit trees especially cherries Some
of the apple orchards are also badly
infested.
Proper methods Of control do not
seem to be definitely worked out yet
but it is believed that either an oil
or lime sulphur spray will kill the
spider if properly applied.
