Fruit Man Felled By
Feathered Songsters


In the opinion of Fred Rea, Lets
all sing like the brides sing" may be
fine advice for an orchestra but, he
finds, personally, that It's worth has
been far over-estimated. Mr.. Rea
climbed a tree on the Codding place
Wednesday morning to cut out some
water sprouts on the trunk, disturbing
as he did so a nestful Of fledgelings
who vociferated their displeasure. Mr..
Rea twisted around to see them better
with sad results. He lost his footing
and plunged headlong from the tree.
Now he's nursing sadly bruised Shout
der and a grudge against natures
songsters.

Annual Field
Day at Prosser
Station July p
RESULTS OF IRRIGATION AND
SOIL FERTILITY STUDIES
WILL BE SHOWN

The fourteenth annual Field Day at
the Irrigation Branch Experiment Sta
ton will be held Friday, July 81. The
Station is located four and one-halt
miles north east of Prosser and may be
reached by taking the Whitstran road
at Prosser and turning north at the
Experiment Station sign. The field tour
will start promptly at $3.50 and there
will be many points of interest to
every one, including those who have
attended all previous field days.
In forage studies, two points OF inter-
est. are outstanding. First, the relative
winter killing of alfalfa varieties. Sec
ond, the striking differences in var
ieties and strains of sweet clover.
Both of these will be of special interest
to the fruit grower as they have a
direct bearing ON cover crop mainten-
ance.
Considerable interest has been shown
in the production of edible soy beans
and eighteen strains Of these are grow
ing at the Station. Other varieties
of the field soy bean also are being
grown
The soil fertility plots are now in
their twelfth year and difference in
yield of wheat grown on them will
probably be more than 600 percent.
The fertilizer plots on alfalfa, although
in their third year only, are showing
definite results.
Irrigation studies with apple trees,
alfalfa, potatoes, corn and wheat will
be covered in greater detail than in
former years. Differences in irrigation
practices due to continuous cover crop
and recently clean cultived plots in the
apple orchard can be seen. The reac-
ton of alfalfa, corn wheat and pota-
toes to various amounts of water at
different intervals will be shaWst The
amount of surface runoff water from
from alfalfa fields is much less than
from corn, wheat and potato fields.
Various succulent crops, including sill
age, Gull potatoes, Gull apples, squash,
carrots and rutatbagas, will be dis
cussed Opportunity will be given to see
all other experimental work In PROCESS,
including varieties of cereals and corn,
and varieties of the various kinds of
fruit.
No arrangements have been made for
an afternoon program. Those wishing
to picnic on the station grounds or
at the Prosser Park will be most well
come. The swimming pool near the
Park is open the entire afternoon The
Station staff will be at the Station all
afternoon and anyone desiring to &C
over the work in greater detail or tc
discuss his own problems will have
opportunity to do so.

Mr.. Motz is now making tour OF

shipping and marketing conditions, the
story continues
1.-The foreign trade in apples looked
very favorable at the beginning of last
season, as the European fruit crop
all kinds was rather poor except In
Austria, Italy and Switzerland. Good
prices were paid for the first few ship
ments of good quality, boxed apples
then, unfortunately, two factors en-
tered into the deal which caused dem
oralization.
zone of these was the receipt of a
large volume of third grade boxed
apples and also large quantity OF

in poor condition.
THE other factor was the entrance

Calcium Content In
Hen Feed Necessar,


Hens that do not receive sufficient
calcium in their feed hay at slower rate
and the eggs from such hens have
thinner shells than the eggs laid by
hens having an adequate supply OF
calcium in their ration, according to an
experiment being conducted at the
Western Washington experiment sta
ton, Puyallup.
A great variation exists between In
dividual hens in their ability to utilize
the calcium In their feed, explains M
Wayne Miller and Gordon E. Bearse
exerimenters,.: The present progress OF
the experiment indicates the advisable
ty Of selecting as breeders hens that lay
eggs Of good shell texture.

Fruit Shipments
Cain Momentum

While the peak of the early season
fruit and vegetable shipments from
the Priest Rapids valley has been
reached, activity in the fruit industry
here is increasing steadily.
Cherries, apples, apricots, peas and
potatoes have been shipped in large
quantities, and while some of them
did not bring much return to the
grower, the outlook for the fruit grower
is brighter than it has been for some
time.
Apricots will be cleaned up this week
with several small shipments from
Allard and Vernita to Seattle markets
Yellow Transparent apples and early
potatoes are still being harvested and
heavy shipments are continuing. The
market on the early apples has Slipped
some in the past week, but potato
prices are holding up. Some growers
are reported to have received $50 per
ton in the field for the spuds this
week. Previously the price averaged
around $26 or $27.
A number of shipments of potatoes
have been made by truck to the Wen
atchee valley.
A crew of about twenty has been
employed at the White Bluffs Horti-
cultural Exchange warehouse in the
packout of the early apples, and a
number of straight cars, as we'll as
smaller express lots, have been shipped
from there.
New equipment is being added at
the White Bluffs Warehouse for the
washing of apples this fall. An extra
fresh water tank has been built and
placed in front of the acid tank on
the washing machine. With this extra
tank the apples will be cleaned before
going into the acid wash, thus in
creasing the efficiency of the acid.
The Priest Rapids Ice and Cold Stor-
age company, after shutdown of
a month, will resume operations about
the first of August and will make ice
at that time in preparation for the
pear packout.

winter sports. Nature study will be
stressed.

OF Irrigation
Money Shown
POWER SOLD TO PACIFIC POWER
AND LIGHT COMPANY IS
MOST PROFITABLE

In compliance with the law, it is
necessary for each irrigation district
of the state to draw up financial
statement each month The local irri
cation district has been in operation
less than year and many of the
landowners under the district have not
had an opportunity to see the manner
in which expenditures and revenues
have been handled. In another column
of this page we are publishing a fin
ancial statement covering the entire
period of operation of the Priest Rap
ids Irrigation District.
This statement covers administrative
expenses since 1926 of which there was
very little until the district became
active in 1880, after which time this
expense of necessity increased. Other
expenses date from the time of ac-
quiring the properties on October 4,
1882, and are brought up to June 30,
1893.
These expenses have covered many
improvements at the power plant, made
during the fall and winter Of 1882. The
benefits of the improvements have been
shown by the increased power revenue
this season, as was published in the
Spokesman some weeks ago.
Directors of the district hope to make
more improvements in the near flu
ture, thus enabling the project to pro-
duce surplus power the year around
for sale to the power company under
it's contract.
During June of this season the dis
trict was forced to buy power for
pumping for the first time in several
years. This was caused by unusually
high water and by the fact that one
of the turbines was damaged and has
been out Of commission for several
weeks. THE water is still SO high III
the river that the operators at the
plant have been unable to determine
the extent of damage to the wheel.
The river will have to recede another
four feet or SO before this damage
can be ascertained. 1t is thought, how
ever, that several of the guide vanes
have been broken.
The directors of the district have
applied to the state for money from
the reclamation fund to make further
necessary improvements at the power
plant and in the power canal. II they
are successful in obtaining money the
improvements will be made in the fall
after the irrigation season has come
to close They have also applied to
the Benton county Welfare Board for
money with which to carry on neces-
sary construction.
During the month Of June revenues
and expenses of the district were az
follows:
Operating Expenses
Directors and Secretary's sal
ariesand expenses, printing and
stationery, tel. and tel, postage
and general expenses ............$ 183.49
Power plant operation 438.69
Pumping plant operation .......... 247.96
Irrigation canal maintenance
