Old Gardener
Says:=

XNIOWEN who work in their own
w gardens and find the ordinary
steel rake heavy and cumbersome will
be delighted with bamboo rakes, which
come from Japan and are very cheap.
Metal rakes now being made in this
country have the same pattern and
are almost as light. These rakes are
especially useful when cleaning up,
leaves and grass clippings, bat can he
used also in garden work of light
nature. They can be handled in much
the same way as broom, and with
much less effort than is required to
manipulate rakes of the old-fashioned
type. These rakes do not look very
strong, but will stand remarkable
amount of hard service. Naturally the
metal ra!les are somewhat more dur
able than the Japanese product. but
the latter is cheap and surprisingly
satisfactory.

relatives. The crown prince of Siam
is now minister of interior, has been
minister of marine No other crown
prince holds cabinet Office and no

DESSERT FOR HOT DAYS

MYTH gelatin in so many attrac-
w tive forms-fiavored, plain acidu-
lated and powdered-one may have a
different dessert for every hot day,
without repeating. Such desserts are
not only refreshing TO look upon, but
are appetizing and sufficiently satisfy
ing after hearty meal. The follow
ing is an old-time recipe, but is al
ways enjoyed:
Snow Pudding.
Soak one and one-fourth tablespoon
fuls of plain gelatin in one-fourth cup
full of water fifteen minutes, then add
one cupful of boiling water and stir
until we'll dissolved; add one cupful of
sugar, one-fourth cupful of lemon juice
and stir until the sugar is dissolved,
then strain into large bowl. Beat
the whites of three eggs until stiff and
add to the gelatin mixture when it be-
gins to stiffen-beat until very light.

When stiff enough to mold, pour into
a mold that has been rinsed in cold
water. Prepare a boiled custard,
using the egg yolks, four tablespoon
fuls of sugar, one-half teaspoonfuls of
salt, and pint of hot milk. Cook
until the spoon is, coated, add flavor
ing and chill. Pour round the pudding

MATINEE DANCE PROGRAM

Members of the spring-term dane ing class will give matinee re- cltal next Saturday at three o'clock in the afternoon at small Eagle hall.
 The program will be distinctly different from that presented earl fer in the winter. A group of dances including a Highland Fling and Irish Jig will be given; but the feature of the program is a dance drama portraying an old garden romance.
 In addition to the dances there win be a delightful program of songs having appropriate associa- tion with the dance numbers.
 The admission is charged to cover costs of hall. costumes, etc, and any amount clear will be giv- en to the women's society of the Federated church. As the pro- gram is of interest mainly to women. and as the hall is small, the attendance will be limited to the women and girls of the com munity.

quickly before the surface soil is
allowed to become dry. Following
the time when the crop has become
well rooted then intermediate rills
may be slosed, allowing irrigation
in only every other rill or every
third rill, whatever orchard prac-
tice is shown necessary on what
ever soil is being treated. If rye
or any other like cover crop has
been used in the fall then the prac-
tice in the spring would be the
same, seeding taken place over the
light fall seeded cover crop. Close
rilling would be just as essential
here as on the bare soil.
AS to the amount of seed rec
ommendation 20 to Is pounds Of
sweet clover, preferably the lat
ter, and we believe that Is pounds
Of alfalfa should be the common
practice.
Several cover crop demonstra-
tions are being planned for the
coming season and anyone else in
terested in this problem may take
the problem up with the county ex-
tension agent, Kennewick.

assist with these demonstrations.
1t us remind you again til t
many of our older trees are COM
ing to a point where different
system of pruning needs to be fol-
lowed. Pruning should also be very
closely correlated with the fertil-
izer program. The pruning habits
of the tree should also be taken in
to consideration in the pruning and
fertilization program and all of
these things will be considered at
these meetings.
Young trees are receiving con-
siderable attention and young trees
pruned last year will be followed
up this year so that those interest
ed in the pruning of the two and
three year old stock may get a
clear idea Of the recommendations
to be made by Mr.. Bregger.

head of young dairy heifers are
being raised to every 100 dairy
cows. Ordinary replacement would
be provided by 20 head of heifers
to every 100 dairy cows.
The western states have estimat-
ed deficit of lie percent in dairy
products, according to the 1929
census if the average rate Of dairy
product consumption Of lit gal
Ions per capita is being maintain
ed. This deficit may be compared
to that of 1924 which was 21.6 per-
cent. Washington maintains a
fairly close balance since esti-
mates indicate only 1.5 percent
deficit.
The dairy feed and butterfat
ratios during 1881 reached posi-
ton more favorable for dairy pro-
duction than during any period
since 1921. The somewhat lower
butter prices and higher feed
prices are decreasing this favor
able margin at present. The price
of dairy feeds is not expected to
go unusually high according to the
present data. The heavy operation
of flour mills in the Pacific
Northwest will tend to produce
abundant supplies of mill feeds.

ORCHARD MOUSE DAMAGE

Several reports have come to the
county agents office of the prev
alence of orchard mice in orch
ards this fall. Observation of many
orchards will also show heavy GOV.
er crop conditions Of one kind o,
another, in many cases We d s
Judging from present climatic con
ditions we may expect at least 9
long and possibly rather severe
winter. It is under just such con
ditions, heavy cover crop and long
winters, that orchard mice do con-
siderable damage to the orchard
In the upper valley thousands Of
pounds Of poison bait have been
used every winter to control this
pest. Our more or less isolated To-
cation for our orchards has prob
ably been the main cause for less
damage in this county than in the
more thickly planted valley above
Orchard mice first made their ap-
pearance in this county and did
considerable damage, and there
have been a few places within the
county where we have had damage
within the last few years. Because
Of this we would warn orchardists
to check orchard conditions care
fully both as to the possibility of
mice in the orchard and to the
cover crop conditions.
Cover crops should be removed
from close proximity to the trunk
under any circumstances so as to
remove harboring place for the
mice immedffseII 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 Of
flee, should be distributed immed-
lately in the runways and prefer
ably on some clear, quiet night
when mice viii be more active and
when it should be possible to Sc
cure high percentage Of kill. For
further information see OF write

COVER CROPS IN ORCHARDS

We have had many complaints
from orchardists that it has been
almost impossible to secure stands
or a cover crop in the orchard once
the old cover crop has been des-
troyed and clean cultivation given
for year or two Recently we, in
talking this problem over with a
fruit grower, questioned him in re-
gard to practices followed la s t
lear and found that he had failed
to follow one Of the very essential
practices whenever q stand Of
sweet clover or alfalfa is to be Sc
cured, viz; preparation Of the
ground so as to provide a firm
seed bed.
Let US again briefly outline what
we would consider and what has
been shown as successful securing
Of cover crop stand. In the first
place If the ground is to be work
ed this must be done in the fall,
leaving the ground as compact as
possible and as level as possible.
If there is too much cover crop
growth of one kind or another on
the ground in the fall it would be
well to either risk this down and
then plow or remove a part Of the
easy growth and disk the ground
thoroughly, the latter practice be-
ing probably preferable. Follow
ing this the orchard should be lev
eled as nearly as possible with the
spike toothed harrow, doing the
leveling 50 as to level as much Of
the cover crop in the fall as pos
si-ble. just previous to this har-
rowing it would be well if three
quarters Of a bushel Of rye could
be seeded to the acre although this
may not be necessary on our bet
ter soils.
In the spring as soon as one is
assured of water if pumped, or just
previous to turning the water into
the ditch the sweet clover or alfal-
ia should be seeded broadcast,
lightly with the spike
toothed harrow, and then the or
chard rilled every 10 inches. This
close rilling is very important as
he surface moisture must be main
tanned until the sweet clover or |
alfalfa are able to root down to
where the soil will not dry out
