Runaway Team Provides
Thrills for j. Hemker

An alfalfa field on the Martin O'Brien
ranch was the scene Of wild run
away Tuesday afternoon which resulted
in the complete demolition of the
wagon to which Mr.. OBriens team
was hitched. j. Hemker, who was driv-
ing, escaped uninjured.
Mr.. Hemker hitched the team up
after the lunch hour to haul fertilizer
from the O'Brien corral to nearby
alfalfa field. One of the horses was
feeling very frisky and started to run.
In the course of the teams cavortings,
they bumped the wagon against post
and broke the reach. The rear wheels
broke loose and Mr.. Hemker, feeling
the wagon body slipping from the sup
port of the front wheels, jumped to
safety. The tongue of the wagon soon
broke, however, freeing the horses
from the wreckage, and they soon
quieted down.

Booklet Issued to
Aid in Planting Shrubs

A list of trees and shrubs with gen
eral characteristics of each and places
to which they are best adapted in the
development of the Identification OF
the city or farm home has been pre-
pared by E. g. Durdle, county agent,
mainly for those interested in the yard
and garden contest being carried on
in the county. 1--WE realize" says Mr..
Durdle, "that it is difficult to give as
much information as many would like
to have in a list of this kind, but feel
that it may be of some help to those
planning for future development along
these lines.
ut is often possible to secure trees
and shrubs from neighbors or by trad
ing back and forth with those who
may have plants to dispose Of"

Mrs. T.. T.. Wiehl
Injured By Fall


Mrs. Lloyd Wiehl of Yakima was
severely injured Friday morning when
she was thrown from her horse at the
fair grounds in Yakima. A cracked
vertebra will keep her on her back
in the hospital for at least a month.
Mrs. Wiehl was thrown on her face
when the horse which she was riding,
thought to be very gentle, bucked. A
groom at the.fair ground stables, where
the Wiehls keep their horses, saw the
accident and hurried her to the hos
pital. In addition to other cuts and
bruises and the back injury, her lower
lip was badly torn. Her physician be-
lieves, however, that there will be no
scars on her face from the accident.

Decline in National
Apple Production

The total apple production has de-
clined more than Is per cent in the
United States since the period just
before the war, but at the same time
production in the state of Washington
has increased from three to four times
it's pre-war volume, says Chester @.
Hampson, assistant agricultural econ
omist, Washington State College.
The marked decrease in national
production of apples is due to al per
cent decline in the number of bear
ing apple trees in this country. The
real advancement of the industry is
shown by the fact that only So per
cent of the pre-War number of bear
ing trees are now producing Is per
cent of the former total production.
Production per tree in the United
States has been raised by improve
ments in cultural practices from l
bushel per tree to nearly 2 bushels
per tree.
According to Mr.. Hampson, in
Washington more pronounced ad-
vancement is evident The number OF
trees has increased more than 70 per
cent while total production has in
creased from 300 to 400 per cent. The
increased planting of better varieties
and improved cultural practices have
raised the state production per tree
from IL bushels to approximately 3
bushels per tree.
[ Apples are meeting stiff competition
from other fruits. Dried prunes, peaches
pears, oranges and grapes have shown
a steady increase in production since
pre-war times, while apples have
| shown downward trend.
During recent years shift has been
noticed in the varieties that are being
planted in Washington The heaviest
paintings are of the highest priced
varieties, the most important being De-
licious. This variety, until this year
has enjoyed price advantage, points
out the state college economist.
An interesting feature of the apple
industry in Washington is it's recen,
tendency to concentrate in the centra
part of the state where irrigation Il
praciced and marketing agencies are
established

Fire Destroys
Borden Home
Sunday Night
NOTHING SAVED FROM FLAMES;
ELECTRIC WIRE is CAUSE
OF BLAZE

Fire Sunday evening completely
destroyed the Cecil Borden home.
Nothing but a trunk containing few
clothes belonging to Patsy Borden was
saved from the ruins. The fire was
apparently caused by a short on the
light wire running to the broodel.
Mrs. Borden and her daughter Patsy
were at the Peter Saith home at the
time.
At about seven o'clock, Mr.. Borden,
who had been ferrying sheep, went
to his house and discovered the cleo
trio cord to the brooder afire. Running
to the Wright Wiehl house next door,
he procured a bucket of water with
which he extinguished the blaze He
then joined Clyde Wilson and Frank
Dawson in front of the house and
sat with them discussing his fortune
in averting what might have been a
serious fire.
Suddenly, said Mr.. Borden, the
house seemed to light up and turn
ing around they found the interior in
flames. Their attempts to put out the
fire were futile and in very short
time the house had burned to the
ground. Mr.. Borden once attempted to
enter the building, thinking that his
little girl might possibly be in her
bed asleep. He soaked himself with
water and managed to get into the
bedroom, but the heat was so intense
that he was forced to crawl out on
his hands and knees.
Neighbors who rushed to aid In
combating the flames saved only 9
few empty fruit jars from the cellar
and the trunk containing some of the
little girls clothes which was on the
back porch, but otherwise the PRO
perty was total loss. The house i
the one known as the Andrew Boae
place, situated back Of the Wright
Wiehl residence at Old Town. There
was no insurance.
The Bordens are now occupying the
little house next to Mr.. and Mrs. S
NJ. Brisco.

Washington wheat, milk and It's pro-
ducts. hog and field corn are included
in the farm adjustment act passed py
congress- and signed by the President
to help relieve the existing national
economic emergency by increasing ag-
ricultural purchasing power" accord
ing to F. E. Balmer, director OF the
agricultural extension service. There is
a probability that practically all agri-
cultural commodities in the state will
be directly or indirectly affected by
the new legislation. Widespread rural
interest is being aroused by this pion-
eer legislation in the field of economic
endeavor.
There are three distinct titles or Sec
lions to the law, making it an "omni-
bus measure to save time in legisla-
ton, points out Director Balmer. The
first part is the production control
and benefit payment section; the Sec
ond part is the agricultural credits
law; and the third part is the national
financial and currency measure. The
first part is administered by the United
States department of agriculture, the
second part by the farm credits adj
ministration, and the third part lies at
the discretion of President Roosevelt
and his treasury aides
Production Control
Under the production control section,
commonly referred to as the farm act,
at least three broad means OF secur-
ing proper adjustment of domestic
production of basic farm commodities
to meet world demand levels and to
attain fair returns for agriculture are
provided. The secretary may use one
or all of these. They are briefly; Acre
age reduction of the basic agricultural
commodities by rental and benefit pay
ments to farmers; payment OF allott-
ment benefits on the domestic portion
of crop in return for agreements
covering specified crop reduction; or
the use of marketing agreements With
professors and handlers of farm COM
modities so that higher prices will go
to farmers under a guaranteed system
of production control and fair play.
The basic commodities found in the
law are wheat, cotton, field corn, rice,
tobacco, hogs, and milk and its pro-
ducts. OF all commodities named ex-
cept tobacco the base period for hgur-
ing necessary price levels to reach
equality in farm buying power is the

Thorough Spray
Brings Results
(By County Agent E. G. Durdle)

We wish that there was some magic
word that could be gotten across to
the fruit growers of the county to
help them to realize how important
thoroughness is in the spray program
for codling moth control. When we
first came to the county and Mr.. Arm
strong, the extension horticulturalist,
suggested spray demonstration meet
ings the question Immediately arose
in our mind as to the necessity Of
such program with growers who
often have been following spray prac-
tees for years. We must say, however,
that at the end of that first series of
demonstration meetings it was brought
clearly home to us that there was
need of getting fruit growers better
informed as to spray practices and a
large part of this was the necessity for
more thorough spraying This program
has been followed from year to year
and we believe has brought quite a
few growers to realize that if they were
not getting good results from their
spray program that probably they
needed to look to themselves for some
error in the spray program.
It has been demonstrated in num-
Der of instances even during such a
year as last that growers who have
done thorough job of spraying, tim
ing the application when the most
good could be done, have been able
to pack out a high percentage of fancy
and extra fancy. We can call to mind
instances right in our own county
where conditions are supposed to be
extremely bad, where growers last year
packed out very high percentage OF
fancies and extra fancies. It can be
done.
AS to the spray program for the
present season, it would seem that the
use of lead for three sprays and OF
combined with this for at least two
of these, followed by the oil nicotine
sprays and three additional sprays
should make it possible to produce
comparatively clean crop, provided ont
does thorough job of spraying to ge
the first brood, being sure that tn
first worms of this brood are con
trolled.
There is nearly every reason to be-
lieve that fruit prices another yea
will be better than for the past. Wher
orchards are favorably located and ar
of the right varieties and have not to-
many vacant areas, we do not believ
that the Washington orchardist ha
any real worry about the future 0
the apple industry, providing of course
that he follows sound program Q
, fertilization, pruning, thinning, an
moth control. Our area is so muc
, better adapted to fruit production tina
many of the areas of the east, al
, though they are nearer the bigge
markets of this country, that we ca
compete with them without very muc
of a possibility of being crowded OF
from those markets.
i. The all important thing at this, sec
s son is the spraying job. Let 1t (
e thorough and timely.

many thousands of American banking
institutions.
Nevertheless banking in America
today faces problems of changes in law
and practice and of adaptation to new
conditions, These problems are urgent
and perpleXing. Some arise from basic
economic conditions. some from cor
rectable weaknesses. and some from
political errors Their satisfactory
solution is essential
