Neglected Orchards
Menace To Others

To aid in the control of the cooling
moth and San Jose scale in the valley,
petition to have emergency funds
-set--aside-by the county commissioners
for the purpose of cleaning up aban-
doned or neglected orchards, has been
circulated here this week. All growers
and taxpayers interested in such a
program are asked by E. R. Griner,
who has the paper, to sign. The pc
tition reads as follows:
"To the honorable board of county
commissioners of Benton county, Wash:
con account of the mild winter OF
last year and the apparent mild win
ter this year, there will be very heavy
infestation of San Jose scale and Cod
ing Moth during the 1885 fruit sea-
son. Both of these pests caused a
very heavy loss to the 1884 crop and
| from all indications the loss to the
1895 crop will be greater than that OF
! 1884. The control of these pests is prl-
marily up to the individual orchardlst
However, there are numerous cases
throughout the county where orchards
are being left without care and it L
from these places that heavy per-
centage of the pests breed.
"In order to combat the San JOS
Scale and Cooling Moth on such places
we, the undersigned growers and tax
payers, request that you set up al
emergency fund which will be suth
Gent to enable the several distric
; horticultural inspectors throughout tn
county to control the pests on sue
abandoned or uncared for places

CENTERVILLE BOYS
WIN ONE, LOSE ONE

With a win over Hanford and loss
to White Bluffs, the Centerville ALL
Stars broke even in their tWo-game
series in the valley last weekend.
Both games were fast and the fans
were given plenty of excitement.
The Centerville team, which is lead
ing it's conference in south central
Washington, is coached by A. r.
Boettcher, for several years superin-
tendent of the Hanford schools.
In it's game with Hanford Friday
night, Centerville started the scoring in
the first few seconds of play and with
in several minutes had made 10 points.
BY the end of the second quarter Han
ford began to find the basket and In
the third quarter came within few
points of tying the score. Centervllle
came back in the last quarter to put
the game on ice with several baskets
and kept the ball in the Hanford ter
ritory, winning with a score of 20 to
20. The game was clean and fast, with
very few fouls being called against
either side.
The Centervil1e squad opened the
scoring in the White Bluffs game Sat
urday evening, but the local team
came back before the end of the frs
quarter to lead by a score of 5-3, anc
kept this lead throughout the hrs
! half. The last half consisted largely
of defensive playing by both teams
with Centerville trying their sluck a
long shots with no results. The gam'
ended with the White Bluffs Eagle
on the long end of a 16 to score.
The game at White Bluffs was wei
advertised by the White Bluffs hlgl
schools pep band, which went through
! out the valley playing popular ar
and announcing the game. The resul
! was the attendance of large crow
which the school hopes to increase a
future games. The total gate receipt
: at this game were $13.35.

Cannery Again Up
p Consideration

A small cannery, processing vege-
tables after the green market price
has dropped below a profitable level
and utilizing those vegetables winch
are particularly adapted to the LOCALITY,
will pay dividends, @. G. Mcdonald Oh
Prosser owner of custom cannery at
that place, told growers of the valley
Monday. Mr.. Mcdonald was invited 10
address the growers meetings mere
that day after number OF people mac
expressed an interest in securing a
small cannery here.
THE lower Yakima and the Priest
Rapids valleys are particularly sultee
TO the growing of asparagus, McDonale
said. Asparagus which grows much thf
same as weeds in this locality has
far better quality than the best Una
can be grown in California or othe
placcs. and there is steadily GROWING
demand for canned asparagus. 70
that reason, he said any Gamer
should use asparagus as the basic com
modify. Asparagus canned in small, 10
cal plants can be sold for ~ or Z
cents per can and still net the grove
q or cents per pound, he declared
Other vegetables which can profit
ably be used in a small cannery al
string beans and tomatoes, both
which do we'll here, it was pointed GU
committee of two composed
/ Mrs I B. Burns and j. B. Salvir
was appointed by the growers pres
ent to investigate the possibilities
securing small cannery for this dls
trict, and were instructed to mai
their report as soon as possible.

GLASSES TO START

With tentative schedules for the
VERA adult education classes having
been drawn up, teachers to be en-
ployed in this work will attend an in
stitute in Yakima Thursday and Fri
day of this week, and classes will be-
gin next week.
Before a class can be organized
there must be an enrolment OF at least

Groxxare Stndv Production Problems For Next Year
Better Hog Prices
Expected For 1885

Benton county hog producers are
urged to breed enough sows and gifts
this fall to produce their full contract
quotas and be in position to take
advantage of the favorable ratio pc
tween feed prices and hog prices m
dicated for 1885, according to analysis
of the outlook by r. M, Turner extern
sion economist, reports Waldo w.
Sklse. county agent The specified re-
duction in the new 1885 corn-hog ad-
iustment contracts is expected TO be
considerably less than the present 20
per cent and should give each pro-
Queer ample margin to build up ms
quota.
Heavy marketings due to the drouth
and the 1884 adjustment program are
expected to make the number OF hogs
marketed in the l934-1935 season the
smallest in more than 20 years. While
present feed prices are not favorable
to heavy feeding operations, normal

vorable differential in hog prices as
compared with Chicago due to the
state being a deficit area.
Feed prices are expected to be lower
next year because of probably IN

supply of lower priced corn and feec
grains is expected to be available foi

crop next year will be a totally differ
ent one from that of the past Jew
years, E. B. Perkins, manager OF the
Yakima Valley Production Credit AS
ISOLATION, told local growers at the
fruit meetings held in Hanford and
White Bluffs Monday.
'The Regional Agricultural Credit
Corporation, the loan set-up OF two
years ago, was a temporary organlza-
ton, experimental in many ways, de-
signed to meet an emergency. The
Production Credit Associations, set up
last year, are on the other hand, per-
manent organizations, designed to IL
nance the production of farm goods IN
the future, irregardless of the general
AGRICULTURAL conditions. For this rea-
son, every care must be taken in max
ing loans.
"The growers of this district as we'll
as of other districts, are stockholders
in this corporation, and the failure
of our organization to loan money pro-
perly will mean the loss of thousands
of dollars to them.
"The Production Credit Association
can fail in either of two ways-from
adopting too optimistic a loan policy,
or from being too conservative. we
have endeavored to liberalize the or
ganization by simplifying the loan pro-
cedure for next year, cutting out
great deal of the red tape which we
had last year.
"The grower who wishes to get a
loan from the YVPCA next spring car
improve his chances greatly by doing
what work is possible before asking
for the loan. If loan applicant shows
sufficient interest in his orchard to gC
ahead with his cultivation, pruning
and other work which can be done
Independently of outside finance, TIT
loan corporation is going to be mucf
more inclined to favor his loan II, OF
the other hand, he is not sufficient.
interested in his own orchard to d.
what things are possible, it is certal1
that no loan agency is going to con
slider that place good risk"
Although the cost of production
apples is higher in the Priest Rapid
valley than in any other district serve
by the YVPCA, Perkins told the grow
ers here, the sales returns from tn
district are also higher Cost of pre-
ducing a box of apples in this distrlc
as shown by your loan applications,
from Y to 80 cents per box" he de
clared, while the average in other d1s
tricts is from 81 to 70 cents per DO
One reason for this high cost is tt
number of culls and low grade trul
If a grower will endeavor to increa
the extra fancy and larger sized appl
he will naturally cut the cost OF pr
duction considerably. Since the sal
returns on apples from the Prle
Rapids valley are consistently high
than from other DISTRICTS proper NAL
agement of the orchard will yield mo
profit here than in other localities. !"
Applicants for loans from the Y
kima Valley Production Credit Assoc
alton this coming season should
for just what money is needed, ar
if their rate of production per acre
expected to change during the ne
year, should be sure to give the re
sons for such change. Through SUI
cooperation with the loan agen
much time can be saved and bett
results secured.
