Golf Tournament on
Local Grounds Sunday

With the first tournament of the
season scheduled for Sunday at the
local golf links golfers of the valley
have been spending much of their
time the past week in improving the
course as we'll as attempting to i'm
prove their scores.
Sundays tournament will be open
to all who wish to enter. At eleven
o'clock, the men will begin their play,
going out in foursomes, while the wo-
men golfers will stage their competi-
ton in the afternoon beginning at 200.
The committee in charge of the ar
rangements has scheduled this tourn-
ment for the purpose of listing the
players according to their ability. In
the past, there has been little basis
for ranking, but as the club is at
tempting to arrange several inter-club
matches in the near future, it is felt
that this is the best method of pre-
pairing for them.
The committee also feels that this
will provide an opportunity for get
Together of the golfers and will be an
suspicious beginning for the season.
Following the last of the tourna-
ment play picnic lunch will be served
by the women golfers.

Frost Forecasts Will Be
Furnished if Desired

This valley so far this spring has
escaped any frost injury to the fruit
crop and the indications at this time
are for an exceptional yield of all kinds
Of fruit. Growers generally feel that
this is the critical time and that if
we can get by this week without any
frost damage the crop is made.
No frost warnings are being given
out in Benton county this spring as
the appropriation for this work was
one of the items Topped off last fall
when the 1882 county budget was being
pared down. E. H. Jones of the va
kima weather bureau has informed H..
S. Wilkinson of the local telephone ex-
change that he will furnish forecasts
for this valley every evening If de-
sired. Mr.. Wilkinson says that he will
arrange for such service if growers
here are interested. Mr. Jones admits
that his forecasts will not always be
reliable as he does not have sufficient
Information on conditions here affect

forecasts but can furnish a general
idea of what might be expected.

FIRST GAME OF SEASON SHOWS
LOTS OF TALENT IN
LOCAL TEAM

The 1882 baseball season was ushered
in at White Bluffs last Sunday The
weather man had an off day for the
wind blew, there were a few showers
and it was chilly. But from the home
town fans standpoint these little in
conveniences didn't matter for White
Bluffs won the opening game.
The Grange is sponsoring the league
this year and due to a delay in lining
up teams, the seasons schedule did
not arrive in White Bluffs in time to
be printed last week.
Under the schedule White Bluffs was
to have played the first game in Han
ford last Sunday but the Hanford
ground was not in shape due to it's
having been used Saturday for the
county track meet. So the game was
switched to White Bluffs.
Neither the Hanford nor the White
Bluffs clubs had had any training
this spring but in spite of the lack of
practise the game was well played
The batteries were Clayton Hartman
and Russell Weber for Hanford and
Joe Wagner and Ronald Ralston for
White Bluffs. The strikeouts and hits
were about evenly divided between
the two clubs but White Bluffs won
because of it's ability to bunch it's hits.
The final score was to /. Joe Wag-
ner worked in midseason form and
was never in danger. Hanford's lone

game.
The game here next Sunday with
Columbia Valley is expected to be a
good one. Columbia Valley is in Frank
lin county, just across the river from
Richland. 1t is reported to have good
club that expects to be in the running
throughout the season.
The new grounds at White Bluffs,
located near the old townsite, while
still in need of some further i;nrrcve-
ments, promise to be much better than
the old grounds at the high school,
White Bluffs has the possibilities of
a good club. With two outfielders one
of whom should be able to hit, and
little strengthening at one of the
positions of the inner defense, the
club will be able to go places and fur
nish plenty of trouble for the other
teams in the league.
The complete schedule for all of
the clubs in the league has not been
received but insofar as it affects White
Bluffs it is as follows:

Spray Program
Vital This Year

Damage due to the cooling moth

ever experienced in the fruit industry

greatly exceeds that of last year and
practically all of them survived the
winter temperatures, states Doyle 3.

Timely and thorough spray applica-
lions will be necessary in any effect
i've spray program.
The calyx spray should be applied
after most of the petals have fallen
and before the calyx lobes have closed.
Unless unusually warm weather fol-
lows the falling of the petals, eight
to ten days will elapse before many
of the calyX cups are closed. Arsenate
of lead should be used at the rate of
3 pounds to 100 gallons of water. All
of the leaves of the tree should be
,, completely covered as well as the bios
SONS, as the first eggs of the codling
moth are laid on the leaves, usually
on the small leaves at the base of
the fruit bud clusters. Where the
leaves have heavy coating of spray,
many of the newly Matched worms
are poisoned before they can crawl to
the young fruit.
Under favorable weather conditions
the first cover spray should be ap-
piled not later than 10 to IL days
after the first codling moth energies.
The second cover spray should be
applied not later than to 10 days
after the first cover spray, as the fruit
at this time is making rapid growth
and must be kept covered to prevent
the young worms from entering the
fruit imprisoned. This spray usually
follows the high peak of the spring
brood emergence and the use of a
combination oil-lead arsenate spray is
very effective in control The summer
oil not only has an ovicidal value, but
| it increases the effectiveness of the

| Moth emergence can be determined
by the use of the moth traps. Every
orchardist should have from to 6
moth traps in his orchard. These traps
should be placed in the orchard with
in the next week, cared for throughout
the entire season, and daily record
kept of the moth emergence. The
spray program for any orchard should
be based on the emergence record for
that orchard and not by what the
moth activity is in neighboring or
chard.
The horticultural department will
maintain the same line of moth traps
as last year and the moth catch will
be posted daily in the post office III
each district. Each week the local
newspaper will publish the moth trap
records for the previous two weeks
