Local Winds Echo
Coast Disturbances

While fierce gales threatened snip
ping along the Pacific coast, ana nlen
winds and floods threatened many
coastal communities in the Northwest,
the Priest Rapids valley this week was
subjected to wind storm which, wnAe
doing no damage, was one Of the most
intense ever felt here.
The storm started Sunday morning
and continued throughout the week
with no sign of abating Thursday
afternoon. Some damage was done to
the Pacific Power and Light company's
line near Beverly Sunday. A tool shed
at Priest Rapids was blown over Mon
day and the hay stacks on the Figure
2 ranch, across the river, were leVeled
off by the wind.
Temperatures remained above freez-
ing in the valley although the Rattle
snake and Black Rock hills were
covered with small amount of snow
Friday morning, which has since dis
appeared.
Other communities of the Pacific
Northwest have not escaped as easily
Two thousand homes in western Wash
| ington were reported in danger Monday
night as rising rivers, gales and heavy
rainfall caused new havoc. About five
deaths have already been attributed te
| the storms.

Yakima, Chelan Counties
Lead in Apple Raising

Facts released from Washington, D.
C., recently prove that Walter j. Rob-
inson, director of the department OF
agriculture of this state, heads one OF
the most important departments, not
only of Washington but, compared With
other states, one Of the most important
state offices in the nation.
Figures proving this conclusion were
given out by the agricultural census
bureau at Washington for the last CEN
sus year. Fifty counties OF the United
States were listed in the census reports
as the top counties in the nation for
production of apples. Two Washington
counties ranked in first and second
position for apple production in the
entire nation, leading all other apple
production centers. Yakima and Chelan
counties were the prize winners.
The figures listed Yakima county
with a production of 8,971,905 bushels
of apples over the annual period, hav-
ing a total value of Sill 1927, 496. Chelan
county produced 5,314,053 bushels
valued at a total of $10,392566. This
is total value for the two top coun-
ties of II ,285 1858 bushels, having tota
value of $220200 62.
The record showed that these two
Washington counties produced approx
imately one-seventh of the entire apple
crop of the nation.
In the production of all fruits, va
kima county placed twelfth in acreag
and seventh in value of fruits grown
Six citrus producing counties OF Can
fornia headed the list.
Chelan county placed thirty-fifth Il
acreage of all fruit crops and tenth i
value. Benton county ranked sixty-f1ft
in fruit production while Okanogaf
Pierce and Douglas were also anon
the top counties.

Care in Hen Breeding
Shown to Give Results

An actual test with results measured
scientifically has again disproVed a
notion or opinion widely held Some
poultrymen have believed that II was
possible to overdo efforts to breed
strain of poultry capable of high re-
cords in egg laying. They said that the
greater number of eggs hen lays tne
poorer the quality of the eggs. Poultry
specialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture had no evidence 10
substantiate this idea, but the idea was
important if true. So they investigated.
It is recognized that the proportion
of thick albumen in relation 10 thln
albumen in the white of an egg Is one
of the reliable indicators Of egg quailty'
Eggs with a high proportion OF thlcK
albumen stand storage better, and tney
fry or poach better when fresh. Inc
result of actual tests showed tnat
there was no relation between tne
number of eggs hen laid and the pro-
portion of thick albumen, whereas
others produced eggs with a smaller
proportion. This was also true OF tne
hens that laid relatively few eggs.
The investigators found that there
are individual and breed differences II
quality as well as in quantity OF eggs
They suggest, as consequence, that II
may prove possible to select strains o.
poultry that lay quality eggs WIN

ing the efforts in the marketing OF

management of the organization or set
up It was explained that no definite
steps had been taken and nothing was
known as to this management but this
was a problem that would have to be
settled by the board of directors when
they were finally selected. Other ques-
tions of interest to many were ques-
tons in regard to type of organization,
cannery outlook and amount OF ton
mage which the growers would attempt
to sign up before new organization
was perfected.
Considerable interest was expressed
in favor of holding another meeting
and having definite set-up ready tc
present to the growers at this meeting
Several motions were passed, one
authorizing the appointment of COM
mittee of three to assist the present
committee in the set-up preparatory te
the next general meeting. Another
motion authorized the calling of gen.
eral mass meeting for Wednesday even
ing, December 9th, to be held at the
Kennewick Valley Club House. Practic'
ally everyone present pledged their sup
port to this meeting and to securing at
tendance of a large group at this time
