W ashington Dairy
Picture Improves

Washington's dairy situation is rap
idly becoming one of the most favor
able of any state in the country, due
to the effect of widespread drought
conditions, principally in the Dakotas,
and portions of Wisconsin, Minnesota
and western states, according to r..
M Turner, State College extension
economist. An unusually light produc-
ton for the United States as whole
can hardly be avoided because pasture
conditions are the lowest on record.
Butter production for 1884 is falling
below the figures of 1888 each month
and storage stocks on July ] were
lower than the five-year average.
There are as yet no real drought
areas in Washington. The outlook for
hay has seldom been better and there
is a large carryover of hay from last
season. Pastures are quite dry in east
ern counties but are mostly fair In
western counties, though drying some
what. There is plenty of irrigation wa
ter except in the Walla Walla valley
and parts of central Washington where
conservation of water has become nee
essary. Although feed prices are ex-
pected to rise some due to national
curtailment, there is still an ample
supply of feed grains in the state
Present indications are that due to
the lack of hay and forage in the
! drought ai.eesasff,-tlae governments Bane
disease and tuberculosis eradication
campaign, and the lowered storage
supplies, this years peak dairy pro-
duction may be as much as 10 per cent
below that of last year or the five
year average. Continuation of drought
conditions in the major dairy sections
of the country are expected to result
in increased shipments of dairy pro-
ducts to eastern markets, relieving any
surplus supplies in Washington.
Uncertainty concerning probable con-
sumption later this year is an I'M
portant factor on the dairy market al
present. Current consumption is re-
ported not entirely satisfactory ant
there is some hesitancy to risk storing
goods for fall and winter use beyond
conservative amounts.

Survey Of Land And Properties
YVPCA Announces
Capital Increase

The Yakima Valley Production Cred
it Association, which serves the pro-
ducers of Yakima Benton, Kittitas and
the eastern part of klickitat counties,
has announced an increase IN capital
stock from 100000 to 100000. AS it
is authorized to discount producers
paper with the Federal intermediate
Credit Bank to the extent OF live times
it's capital, this means that the associ-
alton is now in position to make loans
to farmers and stockmen in this dis
t,ct up to approximately $5,OOO,OOO.
The capital of the association is in
vested in government securities ana
used as collateral at the Credit Bank.
The earnings on these government Sc
curitieS accrue to the association ana
materially increase its revenue. Ac-
cording to Ray A. Tate, secretary, the
association has now reached self
sustaining basis and the profits from
further increases in business volume
can be used for building up reserves
against losses and ultimately, for dlv1-
uends.
Mr.. Tate states that arrangements
have also been completed by the as
ISOLATION for the setting up OF revolv-
ing cash loan fund that will permit
immediate advances to borrowers to
meet emergencies and to facilitate the
closing OF loans without having to wait
until after the completed papers have
been submitted to the Federal Inter
mediate Credit Bank In Spokane.
The association is Incorporated under
the Farm Credit Administration and
has been established in Yakima as q
permanent institution to provide de-
pendable source OF credit for the grow
ing and harvesting Of all crops, and
the breeding, fattening and marketing
of livestock and livestock products
1t is cooperative in nature in that
the borrowers become voting stock
holders in the association, but the gov
eminent, through it's investment ii
Class A stock, retains supervision.

Valley Swelters-
Beneath Hot Sun

It would take a first class sleuth
to discover the conversation which
didn't include some reference to the
weather last week. For the hot spell
for which the Priest Rapids valley
waits every summer finally descended
upon it after two months of compar-
atively cool days.
The thermometer at Gabriel Jad-
den's observatory at Wahluke began
it's upward trend Monday, July 70,
when it recorded a temperature OF "
degrees Fahrenheit. From then until
Saturday, when it reached high OF
113, it read like a stock-market ticker
before the crash. Monday, 80; Tuesday,
1O5. Wednesday, LOG; Thursday, loS;
Friday, II; and Saturday, 113. Sunday
found things cooling off bit and on
Monday arrived wind storm which
lowered the temperatures considerably
1t is doubtful however, if the valley
is to be left to enjoy the remainder OF
the summer in comfort, as thermo-
meters jumped on Wednesday, August
/, to 101. We have cause to be JhanK-
full, however, in that our heat IS NOT
of the killing kind. The nights have
been cool and pleasant and the heat
prostration which taken take over
thousands lives in the middles west
during the past month is seldom eX-
perienced here.
Saturdays high of 1l3 slightly sur
passed that of Okanogan where a hot
wind made temperature OF Ill seem
even hotter Slightly lower tempera-
lures were recorded in the Yakima val
ley for that day, the 26th. A record Tor
the summer was established in Yakima
when thermometers bounded to l03
Prosser recorded 1O5 and Sunnyside

and Lewiston and Oropno, Idaho
shared the very dubious honors OF
having the highest recorded tempera-
ture for the day with the sun beating
down at lit degrees Spokane anc
Walla Walla both registered LOG. The
Imperial Valley thermometers in Cal
ifornia stretched themselves to liz
degrees on the same day.
Only one death from heat prostra-
ton has been announced on the Pa
I cific coast but the nid-western tol
has mounted to 1892 lives. Widespread

GLASS SHELTER SOJcHT
FOR STREET CAR USERS

Rain, snow and sleet will hold no
terrors for persons boarding street cars
in the vicinity Of Mcclellan statue. if
a member of the Kalorama Citizens
Association has his way.
The Public Utilities Committee of
the civic group is now considering a
proposal for erection of a glaSs-in-
closed shelter near the statue to pro-
tect street car riders from the ele-
ments.
1t all came about during a discus
sion of the hazardous situation of the
car stop on Connecticut avenue at LIE
Roy place, where, it was claimed. Pc
destrians' lives are endangered by au-
tomobiles crossing the tracks at the
avenue and Columbia road.
In urging that this stop be consoli-
dated with the loading platform near
Mcclellan statue. it was pointed out
that the street car company could per-
form great service to the public by
erecting shelter. A letter drawn up
by a member for submission to the
Public Utilities Commission set forth
that "since there is, at certain periods
of the day. long intervals between cars
on this line, an attractive glass-in-
closed shelter for waiting passengers
would be great relief in bad weather.
Such a shelter near the Mcclellan
statue could be made sufficiently at
tractive to add charm to this rather
open spot"

The fight began a month ago in a

NeighborhoOd Opinion.

II Federation of Citizens AS
sociations, a delegate rather
persiStently asked as to how many
members were present when a GER
tain action was taken in one Of
the associations. He challenged
the action as not being representa-
tive of the neighborhood opinion,
the natural inference being that
the result would have been en-
tirely different with a larger at
tendance.
Similar challenges have been
heard frequently. One of the rea-
sons for the present membership
campaign is the desire to so in
crease the membership and the at
tendance at meetings as to over
