Woman's Club Holds
First Meeting of Year

A "Mock Club Meeting, in which
children of members of the Woman's
Club satirized their parents activities,
was presented Wednesday afternoon,
October IL, during the first fall meet
ing of the Woman's Club of White
Bluffs held in the basement of the
Lutheran church. A business meeting
and a talk by Miss Watkins of the
Anti tuberculosis League preceded
this entertainment
The new yearbook, compilation of
the clubs forthcoming programs and
other pertinent data, was distributed
to those present. The attractive cover
design was drawn by Marian Wheeler
and then transferred to a linoleum
block and cut and printed by George
Chase. The contemplative heron and
cattails on the cover are reminiscent
of quiet shadows of the Columbia; and
the color combination of gray ink on
a dull green paper is suggestive of the
local sagebrush.
tentative date during November
was made for the Club Vodvil and
plans for it were discussed. Means of
raising money were also considered
during the business meeting after the
customary recitation of the Collect and
reading of the minutes.
Miss Watkins talk was concerned
with the prevention of tuberculosis and
the care given thos afflicted with this
disease. Nutrition and sanitation were
stressed as most important first prin-
ciples in the fight against what is re-
garded as one of mankinds greatest
foes The work of clinics in the schools
cannot be too highly praised, for it is
the children who are most susceptible
to tuberculosis She asked that con-
tinued support be given the sale of the
Anti tuberculosis Leagues Christmas
seals.
Mrs. John McFee and Mrs. Roy
Glbbins directed the children in their
presentation of club meeting. Two

"A Serenade to a French Doll'. Mem
bers of the club joined the children
in singing columbia, the Gem of the

Power Plant Earns
$761 in September

Excess power to the extent of 424,-
451 XVIII. was generated at the Priest
Rapids power plant and delivered to
the Pacific Power & Light company
lines during the month of September.
The revenue for this excess amounted
to $74287 and in addition there was
SIS for labor for attendance to trans
former and switches and 1888 for cur
rent furnished the Beverly line, or a
total income for the month of $761.46.
For the seven month period begin
ming March 1, the power plant returned
revenue of $6O2260 for excess energy
and labor.
The plant is still operating and will
continue to do so as long as the stage
of water in the river is sufficient to
operate the generators unless shut
down is necessary for repairs, or for
the installation of new machinery.
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1932-10-13

While the amount of money to be
raised is substantially less than last
year, there is question as to whether
there will be much reduction in the
taxes to be paid, because of shrink
age in property valuations.
In 1881 the taxable value of all pro-
perty in the county, upon which the
1882 levy was made, was $13,219 300 90.
In 1882, upon which the 1888 taxes
are to be levied, it dropped to $10,111,-
22600, loss in valuation in one year
of $3,1O8,O43.OO.
Most of the reduction is due to a
40 per cent cut in farm land values
made this year by County Assessor
Treasurer Harry Forsyth.
The lower valuation is a matter of
serious concern to some of the school
districts. The three districts in the
county most vitality affected, according
to County Commissioner Ira G. Hawley,
are White Bluffs, Hanford and Finley,
and it may be necessary for these dis
tricts to vote special levies in order
to meet interest, maturing bonds and
operating expenses.
The following table shows the var
ious items that make up this years
budget as we'll as the amounts allowed
for the same items last year:

New Method Proposed
In Fruit Tree Bracing

According to information reported
by L. L. Claypool, of the Irrigation
Branch Experiment Station at Prosser,
a method of wire bracing for fruit
trees which have weak frame work
branches has proved very satisfactory.
| He says that Delicious trees very often
| have weak crotches which split easily
under the strain of a heavy loadasof
| fruit, whereas most of the other i'm
portant varieties form strong crotches.
The central ring system of wire brac-
ing used at the Irrigation Branch Ex-
pertinent Station is the most salts
factory one that has been devised.
BY this arrangement the wires extend
ing to the branches are all attached to
ring in the center of the tree, Civ
ing a spider web effect. This type
makes stronger and more satisfactory
brace than the system of encircling the
frame work branches of the tree with
single wire because all of the
branches are cross braced. If one wire
breaks from the central ring only the
limb attached directly to that wire is
lost, whereas if the wire breaks in the
circular system of wire bracing the
whole tree is apt to flatten out, especi-
ally if it is carrying heavy load of
fruit. Claypool suggests that if the
bracing is intended primarily for sup
porting the leader branches of the tree
that it be placed only few feet above
the main crotches. However, it is pos
sible by placing the brace up near the
top of the tree to give considerable
support to the fruit crop and thus do
away with much of the propping that
would otherwise be necessary.
Last summer number of trees in
the Irrigation Branch Experiment Sta
ton orchard lost large branches be-
cause of weak crotches even though
there was practically no crop of fruit.
This year, however, Notwithstanding
heavy crop of fruit, no branches on
central ring wire braced trees were lost.

October Meet
OF Pomona Held
At Locust Grove
INVITATION TO HOLD NOVEMBER
MEETING WITH KIONA-BEN-
TON is ACCEPTED
BY County Agent E. c. Durdle

Pomona Grange meeting held at
Locust Grove last Saturday afternoon
and evening opened with Master j..
Mclean in the chair and all but two
of the officers present and with forty
members present. After the preliminary
opening and matters of business, the
charter was draped in memory of State
Deputy u. S. Case.
Mrs. SWayze served as acting chap
lain and, with Mrs. Charles Morgan OF
Benton City, performed the ceremony,
with Mrs. Fred Simmelink and Shirley
Simmelink singing, abide with Me"
with Mrs. Willard Campbell at the
piano. This was a beautiful and i'm
pressive ceremony.
A resolution was presented which
had been acted on by Yakima Valley
Grange, urging more leniency on the
part of the Federal Land Bank in the
foreclosures on farms on which the
Federal Land Bank held mortgages.
The secretary, j. G. Swayze, ex-
planned the Pennsylvania plan of fin
ancing the Pomona and stated that
Master Goss had arranged for one or
two Pomonas in the. state to try this
plan out for a year, if a county voted
unanimously to try the plan. Mr..
Swayze pointed out that all but four
Oranges had voted upon the matter
favorably and it was hoped to have
favorable action from these in time
SO that the plan could be put into
effect the first of the year. Briefly,
the plan provides for Is cent initia-
ton fee for Pomona but the dues being
paid in such way that the money
comes back to the Pomona either dir
ectly or as expenses for the delegates.
1t was brought out by some Of the
members that the Buena Vista and
Whitstran Oranges were not very ac-
tive and suggestions were made for
visiting days. The matter was finally
put in the hands of a committee and
arrangements made for visit to Whit
stran Friday evening" October 18th, and
to Buena Vista Tuesday, October 25th.
Each person attending was supposed
to take their lunch in sack and the
visited Grange to furnish coffee.
Reports of subordinate Oranges
were heard with more or less the same
action being shown in all Oranges,
with probably Vale leading in the
amount of work being done and re-
ported upon. There has been more or
less cessation of activity during the
summer but all Oranges seem to be
quite active now.
Initiative 81 was brought up before
Pomona and after considerable discus
sion vote was passed urging Changers
to vote against this measure.
A resolution of coincidence was passed
and the secretary instructed to send
this to the family of U. S. Case and
a copy sent to the State Grange News,
and one to be spread upon the minutes.
The lecture hour program was under
the direction of Mrs. Harriet Joyce
and Mrs Vera Simmelink, Locust
Grove lecturers.
Invitation to meet with Kiona-Ben-
ton for November was accepted.

ESSAY ON APPLES
I'm supposed to write about apples,

An apple is usually red, scaly, pune
tured, or Wormy fruit, used by the
bumper as a weapon of attack against
the sorters, and considered by them,
as loathsome thing, to be gotten rid
of, with the least amount of handling.
OF course, if you should happen to
see wormy apple, and the worm
should lean out and wave at you, it
is considered permissible to put it in
the Gull box.
Any rancher will tell you in conf
dence that he raises apples chiefly for
their ornamental beauty
