Flotation Test For
Cherries Is Reliable

Experiments conducted in Yakima
by A. L. Ryall of the federal bureau of
plant industry indicate that the flo
tation test is a reliable index of the
maturity of cherries, says the Yakima
Herald. For the purpose of this test
different strengths of salt solution are
used.
If the solution is 20 per cent of
saturation, cherries showing a hydrom-
meter test of 15.9 per cent will float.
If solution 80 per cent of saturation
is employed, cherries with hydro
meter test of 1876 per cent will float,
while if a solution 20 per cent of sat
uration is used fruit showing a by
drometer test of 1911 per cent will
float.
The possibility presents itself of sep
arating the mature cherries from the
immature by means of the flotation
test. The solution could be made OF the
strength desired. The mature cherries
would sink while the immature ones
would float.
Bing, Lambert and Royal Ann cher
ries showing a hydrometer test OF ID
per cent are considered mature, but
the cherries have the best quality
when testing 20 per cent, Ryall said
The flotation test and the hydro
meter test correspond nicely, the
higher the hydrometer test the strong
er the solution must be in order that
the cherries may float.

Public Health League
Urges Safe and Sane Fourth

The Fourth of July soon will be
here and parents and children will
join in one big celebration. But will
it be safe and sane" festivity, or
will it leave behind it hundreds OF
injured children, and record Of many
unnecessary deaths? asks the Public
Health League of Washington.
1t is important to remember, in case
accidents occur, that any wound is
fertile soil for the growth of tetanus
lockjaw germs, and that if any wound
is deep, not wide open to the air,
ragged or dirty, particularly If it is
soiled with earth, the person who is
infected should go to doctor at once,
have the wound thoroughly cleaned.
and If the doctor considers 1t wise,
the patient should have dose of anti
tetanic serum, the best preventative
that is known
Do not neglect any wound, no mat
ter how trivial 1t may be. 1t is some
times the trivial wounds that are the
dangerous ones, from the standpoint
of the development of lockjaw.

Contract Let
For Oiling w.
B.-Han. Road
WORK is EXPECTED TO START
SOON AND JOB MAY BE
FINISHED IN JULY

When the bids for oiling the White
Bluffs anford road were opened in
ProsSer last Friday by the county COM
missioners, it was found that the BID
OF the Diesel Oil Company of Seattle
was the lowest and that concern was
awarded the contract. There were four
other bids
This oiling job was let in connection
with the oiling of the Kennewiok-
Hover road, the bid being $4,000 for
the two jobs, the amounts allowed for
both being approximately equal.
The contract calls for the compile
ton of job on the White Bluffs Han
ford road by September l. but Coun=
ty Commissioner I. G. HaWley says
he believes it will be finished In July,
The Diesel Oil Company is at this
time finishing the contract with the
state for oiling the Kennewick- Una
tilla road and will move on to the
job up here as soon as that contract
is completed.
The work will be started at Hanford
where the Kennewick road joins the
street, almost opposite the Hanford
Garage, and will follow the established
road to the White Bluffs Trading
company store and thence northeast
along Federal avenue to the Lott
house in the extreme eastern part of
town.
One very desirable change has been
made in the White Bluffs Hanford
road by the elimination of the sharp
curve at Grants Corner, the county
having purchased enough land to
straighten out this curve.
When the contract let last Friday is
completed the White Bluffs Hanford
road will be the first and only oiled
road in the northern part OF Benton
county

RosLYN HIGH SCHOOL is CLOSED

Like many of the other school dis
tricts in the state, the Roslyn district
finds itself in financial difficulties and
its high school pupils will have to at
tend school in Gle Elum or elsewhere
next year Their high school has been
closed by the school board upon rec
concentrations of higher authorities.
The district for some time has gone
beyond its legal limit but had hoped
that some other way out of the dilem-
ma would present itself. With the de-
feat of the Showalter bill this hope
died and the present action was ia
ken following ruling last March by
the attorney generals office that all
school districts in the state beyond
their legal limits, which is five per
cent of the taxable valuation, must
comply with the law and get on the
proper financial basis.

Underhills Now Out
On the Pacific Ocean

| Writing from San Francisco on June
"a, on the eve of his departure with
Mrs. Underhill for trip abroad, w
M. Underhill tells of his impressions
of general conditions in California
particularly as they affect the fruit
industry and the retail stores:
Our boat the Theodore Roosevelt
will sail tomorrow evening at five p
M and will land us in some part of
London some 81 days later.
San Francisco is just one sale after
saw so many real cut price sales in
my life The merchants say that no
matter how much they cut the prices
they cannot increase the volume of
business
AS to prices of farm produce, we
saw lettuce for sale at one cent head
in Portland Here in California they
are not making any effort to pick april
cots and the peach industry is try
ing to organize so as to limit the
amount of crop to be picked that what
they sell may bring some price. The
first crop of figs is not being picked
to any extent as there is very little
market for this crop which is always
sold fresh but they expect better re-
suits from the second crop which they
dry.
The California pear crop is coming
on the market and the earliest fruit
brought 100 dollars ton, but this was
for just few cars. The crop Is just
about three-fourths of normal. I had
a talk with the manager for two coun-
ties that are producing a large part
of the California crop of pears, and
he was of the opinion that there
would be a fair market for this crop
this year, but the prices would be low
He said that the Gamers do not have
any very large stock of first class
fruit on hand and that they would be
likely to enter the Washington market
for canning pears. / failed to say that
he was the manager for the American
or Blue Goose as they say down here.
The orange crop is good in the
northern part of the state where we
have been and they expect a fair
price. The price of farm labor is down
to two dollars day in this part of
the state and there does not seem to
be an over supply, but there is quite
a surplus in San Francisco.

Water Case
Hearing Has
Been Postponed
THREE CASES ARE CONSOLIDATED
AND ALL WILL BE HEARD
WEDNESDAY, JULY 8

The hearing on the petition of the
Priest Rapids irrigation district for an
order of the Court confirming all the
steps taken in connection with the is
Suance and sale of the $125000 of
bonds t1oted by the land owners in the
district April Is, and which was set
for Thursday, June 25, at Prosser, was
postponed until Wednesday, July s.
Judge Leavy of Spokane, who had
been designated to hear the case, did
not reach Prosser until noon Thurs
day and by the time he had disposed
OF other small matters on the docket,
it was nearly D. m. AS it was nee
believed it would require more than
one day for the hearing, it was agreed
to postpone the case until July 8.
BY agreement of counsel for the in
terested parties, all of the pending
actions against the irrigation district
have been consolidated and will be
tried together. These include the suit
brought to enjoin the district from
holding the exclusion election, which
has beer. on the docket since the Court
kane Saturday morning and as it was
sustained the demurrer of the district
the day prior to the election; the suit
to enjoin the issuance and sale of the
bonds, which was transferred on a
change of venue from Yakima to Ben
ton county, and the petition of the
district for an order of the Court con-
firming the issuance and sale of the
bonds. The subject matter and allie
cations in each of these actions are
very similar and counsel agreed to
consolidate the three in one suit
It is hoped that the Court will ar
range for a sufficient time for the
essary for Judge Leavy to be in Spo
hearing beginning July 8 so that all
of the testimony offered may be heard
and a decree of the Court entered.

Transparent Apple
Harvest Nearly Over

1t is expected that the Transparent
apple harvest in this valley will clean
up fairly well next week. A great many
of them have been sent out by truck
and express but they accumulated fast
enough for the White Bluffs Ware
house to ship two straight cars. One
of these rolled last Saturday night
and another car lis expected to be
ready to go the latter part of this
week. The yield here was fair and con-
sidering the depression and the con-
sequent low prices for all farm pro-
ducts, the returns. received here have
not been bad, due largely to the abil-
ity of this valley to get the fruit on
the market earlier than most of the
other districts.
