$4,000 Coming To
Benton County Soon

Benton county will receive $4,000 of
the first 100000 of the state unem-
ployment bond funds, Ira, Hawley,
Benton county commissioner, stated on
his return from Olympia Monday.
Division of this sum has not yet
been determined, said Mr.. Hawley.
Benton county welfare commissioners
had recommended number Of pro-
jects to the state, including the White
Bluffs Yakima road and improvements
on the Priest Rapids Irrigation dis
trict's properties. Placing of the money,
however, will be left to the discretion
of the county welfare board.
With the influx of state and federal
money to stimulate works projects, Of
fficials were informed at the state
meeting that the burden Of carrying
on direct relief will revert to the coun-
| ties and communities for August anc
September. The concensus favored the
county welfare board system as the
most efficient.
Further funds will be made available
to the counties as more of the $lO,-
100000 bond issue is placed, it has
been indicated.

Hot Weather Not
So Hot After ALI

After a short respite, temperatures
again rose and the valley suffered, to-
gether with other districts of the Pa
cific Northwest, from a hot spell last
ing all week.
So far this month there have been
six days on which the temperature
rose above 100 degrees. In comparison
with past years this is not severe. So
far as is known the record for heat
is held by the month Of July, 1906,
when 16 days Of the month were over
Los degrees. The next hottest year was
1928 when IA days in July saw tenn
peratures of 100 degrees or higher.
Although the temperatures have
risen steadily during the day, the
nights this past week have been COM
paratively cool, affording some relief.
Temperatures during the past week
at the government weather station at
HanfOrd were.

Control of Asparagus
Beetle by Lead Spray

In getting about over the county we
have observed recently quite few
fields that were showing considerable
damage from the asparagus beetle.
Growers should keep in mind that this
particular insect produces new brood
every four weeks and it is possible to
pile up tremendously by infection In
the field. The recommended method OF
control has been spraying with arsen-
ate of lead 3 pounds to the 100 and
keeping the new growth reasonably well
covered. Somtimes one spray has been
found to be sufficient and again it may
require two or three. Keep in mind that
any serious damage to the top growth
this summer just means lower food
storage in the crown. While this may
not be readily checked upon in one
years time there is no question but
what over the period of two or three
years CONSTANT damage to the top will
seriously curtail the amount Of grass
to be cut the following season.
Incidentally let us say that this par
ticular pest may be controlled readily
during the cutting season by one Of
the pyrethreum sprays. The one which
is available in the county is Evergreen
One should not suffer during thu
cutting season If regular spray pro.
gram Is followed.

Maximum Minimum
District Now Furnishing
Own Power for Pumping

After having purchased power for
more than a month for the pumping
of irrigation water, due to the high
stage of the Columbia, the Priest Rap
ids Irrigation district was able this
week to produce sufficient power for
their own use, with small surplus.
The river, which has been slowly
falling from the peak of 528.3 feet at
the Coyote Rapids pumping plant, to-
day stood at 519.9 feet, drop of eight
and four tenths feet.
The directors of the district expect
to determine within a few days the
extent of the damage on the wheel
at the Priest Rapids plant. The power
plant has been forced to operate on
only one turbine while this wheel was
out of commission.

Local Scouts
Have Good Time
At Camp Fife
TWENTY-NINE FROM HERE AT
TEND MOUNTAIN CAMP
FOR A WEEK

Hiking, horseback riding, swimming
eatherworking-al these activities and
many others were enjoyed by the TWEEN
ty-seven White Bluffs Boy Scouts who
attended Camp Fife the week of July
1923.
The boys of the local troop, accom-
panied by David Parker, scoutmaster,
and Ted Masters, assistant scoutmaster,
left White Bluffs early Sunday morn
ing, arriving at the camp early In the
afternoon. Camp Fife is situated at
Goose Prairie, fifty miles northwest OF
Yakima, near Dumping Lake and Am
erican River. The boys were taken
there by Wright Wiehl in his truck.
It was necessary for them to provide
all of their own food
The camp is run under system Diff
ferent from most Troop camping
is the rule there. Every troop and its
leaders is considered as separate unit
and plans it's activities accordingly
Each troops tents are grouped sep
erately from the other troops in camp.
An army field range is installed IN
each troop camp for the cooking, which
is entirely under the direction OF the
scoutmasters. Every troop is privil-
eyed, under the guidance OF it's own
scoutmaster, to work out it's own indi-
vidual program About the only times
that the troops are treated as single
unit are at the flag ceremonies and
in the evenings around the council
fire. At other times they act indie
pendently of one another.
r. d. McDermott is the Scout Exec
| utive. He and several other scoutmas-
tiers act as leaders in the various ac-
| tivities and craft works. David Parker,
/ the local scoutmaster, stayed in camp
an extra week as he was elected to
act as senior officer of the camp.
Camp Fife is ideally situated for
hiking The boys climbed Mt. Parker,
a 6OO0-foot peak, on one of their ex-
cursions.
In their leather work they made
| neckerchlef Slides, souvenirs, WaIcH
fobs, and knife sheaths. Some Of them
even made hunting knives of old saws
and elk horns.
Ted Masters and Ray Wade acted
as cooks during the encampment. The
boys all returned to White Bluffs Sum
day, July %, very happy after their
vacation in the mountains.
Those attending the camp were:
Scoutmaster David Parker, Assistant
Scoutmaster Ted Masters, Ray Wade,
Raymond Broughton, Thurston Foltz,

"Old Swindling Game"
Again Being Practised

Benton county wheat farmers are
advised to be on the look out for
promoters who are reviving the old
swindling game of making out the
papers" in different wheat sections, says
E. G. Durdle, County Extension Agent.
Unauthorized persons are offering to
help farmers apply for benefits under
the governments wheat adjustment
program and are asking as high as 10
per cent commission for the work. No
farmer has to pay anybody for help IN
making his application, says M. L. Will
son, chief of the wheat production sec
ton of the agricultural adjustment
administration at Washington, D. Q.
The organization of farmers in each
county is in charge of the county agent,
or an agent appointed temporarily for
each county. There will be plenty OF
time for farmers to get full information
from these men. Every wheat farmer
will also be given plenty Of notice when
the time comes for applying. He will
also be given all the help he needs in
filling out his application without
charge of any kind.
In Kansas, where the racket was
first discovered, persons have been re-
ported as inducing farmers to sign ar
agreement promising to pay commits
sion of 10 percent of their adjustment
payment in return for assistance II
making out the application for the
benefit when the contracts are ready
/ F. E. Balmer, director Of the agricul'
tural extension service, warns trainers
against paying anybody for help II
making out applications and suggest
reporting persons with such PROPOSE
tions to the county agent and loca
authorities. Farmers can get all infor
nation necessary for the wheat plal
from their county agent or the agen
temporarily appointed for the whea
program.

Season Calls For
Careful Culling

Because of the rapidly rising feed
prices and the rather heavy storage
supplies of eggs, w. D. Buchanan states
that poultrymen should watch very
closely the type of pullets put into the
laying house this year. According to
Mr.. Buchanan results of trap nesting
shows that the pullet that outsteps
physical development by sexual devel-
opment to the point that she comes in
to egg laying at too early period IS
pullet which does not continue in
good egg production over a long period
of time These birds can be culled out
Immediately upon their dropping OFT
in egg production after the first pro-
duction period.
The second class of pullets is that
one which has not developed along
with the others either physically or
sexually. She will be found to be loose
feathered, shallow and short bodied
and a study of her will show that she
is not up to standard as far as vitality
is concerned. This pullet should be
culled as soon as she can be picked out
and sent to market.
The birds that come into laying very
late should also be removed as culls as
soon as drop off in egg lay. In other
words the larger percentage of pullets
that come into lay between the early
and late maturing ones and yet which
! do not show definite Gull characters
tic are the only ones that should bt
kept for production seasons such az
this.
When it comes to culling the hem
it is taken for granted that they have
been culled the year before and WI
knew then that the birds were
good hens. Only birds should be cullet
from the hen flock that show poo
eye, are early and slow moulters o.
show considerable pigment in tn
| shank.
Mr.. Buchanan conducted two cullinl
demonstration meetings in the count.
and interest in these meetings wa
rather keen.
