Horn Road Will
Be Completed

Completion of the final link in the
Horn road will start in the near fu-
ture, according to statement issued
last week from the county engineers
office, says the Prosser Record-Bulle-
tin. VERA headquarters approved the
culvert part of the project some time
ago. This will include some % cul-
verts at an expense of $4,000 and Will
involve 6,12O man-hours. Benton coun-
ty will pay $4,000 of the cost and VERA
will pay for the rest. CWA cement,
held over from last year, is stored near
at hand and will be used in pouring
the culverts.
Recently, VERA approved the grad
ing and ballasting of Az miles of the
roadway at the Horn which will cost
$4,000 and require $4,000 man-hours
to complete. Much of this is heavy
rock work and can be done in any
except the very worst weather.

White Bluffs In '88
Recalled In Tale

Interesting to all residents OF the
White Bluffs country especially the
pioneers, is the story related by John
Faihst of Twisp of his trip from The
Dalles. Oregon, to the MethoW valley
through White Bluffs in 1888.
Faihst, whose experiences in the west
in the early days is related by Karl
Stoffel in the Wenatchee World OF
Monday, December 10, was born IN
Germany, coming to America When
he was II. After three years in the
middle west he came to The Dalles'
working there for four years.
His experiences in attempting 10
cross the Columbia river came Wnen
he left Oregon to settle in the MethoW
valley making the trip with a party
who we're taking some horses from
The Dalles to White Bluffs rancher
His story of the incident, as recountec
by Stoffel, is:

While swimming in the river, he and

Low Grade Cream
Costly To Farmer

washington dairymen lose over
100000 each year through marketing
low grade cream, declares DR.. Otto
j. Hill, state college extension dairy
man. This loss comes directly from
profits the dairyman should receive
as state dairy laws stipulate that the
price paid for second grade cream shall
be 10 per cent under the market price
of first grade cream. Marketing OF
under-grade butter increases the loss
by discouraging consumption and de-
pressing prices said DR.. Hill.
Consumption of butter is only 10
pounds per capita in the United States
compared to SO pounds in New Zealand
and 80 pounds in Canada One OF the
best WAYS to increase the consumption
is by marketing quality product. An
increase of only two pounds In per
capita consumption would represent
$50 600 900 pounds of butter or the pro-
duction of over 1,25O000 cows. In
creased consumption would mean more
dollars in the dairymen's pockets ano
better health for the consumers.
There is nothing mysterious IN pro-
ducing high quality cream to form inc
basis for high quality butter and other
dairy products, points out Dr. Hill
Practically every dairyman has the
necessary equipment but fails to at
tend to the small details that insure
/ first grade cream. Clean cows sterile
utensils, proper cooling, holding at low
temperatures, and frequent marketing
will produce number one cream OF
almost any dairy farm.
Most low grade cream is due to I'M
proper care of separators and utensils
These must be washed and steril1zet
with steam or hot water after eaci
milking if high quality cream is to D
produced. Sanitation in the mllkln
barn is important in preventing unde
sirable bacteria from contamlnatln
the milk. Grooming Of COWS befor
milking can be greatly simplified D
clipping the long hair on the udde
at regular intervals.

20 wears. It is possible that hog pro-
duction in 1885 will be further reduced.
Lighter weights, coupled with greatly
reduced hog numbers will likely pro-
duce the smallest per capita produc-
ton of hog products on record.
Sheep and Wool
sharp reduction in the number OF
sheep in this country appears likely
as a result of the drought. 1t is ex-
|a,ected that the lamb crop. IN l9S5 WALL
be reduced considerably and the
Esmaller marketings of lambs next year
along with the decreased market sup
niles of other meat animals, probably
will result in substantially higher lamb
| prices in 1885 than in 1884. AS re-
suit of the expected reduction in num-
bers of stock sheep, the wool clip IN
1885 is expected to be the smallest IN
wears. Possible strengthening OF prices
due to this expected small wool clip
NAV not materialize as wool supplies
NAV be as large in 1885 as In 1884
because of increased wool stocks IN
warehouses, due to decreased demand.

Prices during the last few montns
have been lower than year ago, and
on November is were about . per cent
below last years prices at the same
time
According to the November crop
report of the u. s. Department OF Ag-
riculture, the total potato production
of the state of Washington this yeal
is estimated to be 7,480,00O bushels
This compares with 100000 bushels
last wear and the 19273l average o.

is reported to be ITO bushels compared

crops are estimated to be Is and J.
per cent smaller than the respectlV

represents an increase of approx
