Relief Money Is Low

Relief administration officials re-
ported in Washington, Tuesday that
funds to feed the needy would be
exhausted" by February 10, even as
predictions arose that senate debate
on the $4.S8O, zoo. 900 works-relief bill
would extend beyond that time.
The $SS,000,0OO in the works
measure is to taper off the dole for
the approximately 100000 families
on relief.
Despite administration concern,
senators declared after consideration
of the bill by its appropriations COM
mittee that the bill probably would
not be reported to the senate until
next week. They added that at least
a week of debate and probably more
was in sight on the floor.
President May Act
The President probably will be ask
ed to bring additional pressure to
get the works-relief measure through
in hurry.
eve are really out of money!"
Morton M. Milford, special represen-
tative of the relief administration, is
reported as saying.
He added that some states had
some "carry-over funds" from Janu-
airy, but that these could not be
stretched very far.
With so many poor people depen-
dent upon relief in the prevailing
severe weather." Milford said, 1--WE
hope CONFESS will act before existing
funds are exhausted"
This expression of concern followed
statement by Senator Glass, Demo-
crat, Virginia, that he did not know
when the appropriations committee
would get the measure to the senate
for action.
"Your guess is as good as mine,"
Glass said, in reply to questions.

BOXED APPLE COST
SHOWN IN REPORT

The total cost per box of apples on
a typical 2O-acre orchard where six
cover sprays are necessary ranges from
SLIT per box where the yield averages
300 boxes per acre to 10 cents per
box where the yield averages 1000
boxes per acre. Where the yield is 500
boxes per acre, an average attained by
many of the good orchards of the
state, the cost per box is approx
mately 80 cents.
This represents the growers cost per
box, exclusive of any return to the
operator or any return on the invest
ment in real estate. Anything above
this amount which is received for the
packed fruit is available to the oper-
ator as a wage or as an allowance for
family living and to support the real
estate value, according to cost of pro-
duction figures assembled by the Fed
eral Land Bank of Spokane and in
Guided in the preliminary report on
economics of the apple industry which
has just been released from the State
College press.
Where fewer cover sprays are re-
CURED costs are slightly less; thus
where only three cover sprays are re-
quired, on a typical 20-acre orchard
with a 500 box yield, the total cost
per box amounts to approximately sc
cents

She also stated that the septic sore
throat reported in Hanford is on the
wane.

POTATO PRICE UP

Townsend Club
Gets 100 Names
By w. J. jenkins

The one hundred names required for
the formation of the local Townsend
club have been secured. Owing to the
epidemic of munps in our neighbor-
hood public meetings have been discon-
tinued. However, a meeting will be
called in the near future, at which
time j. A. Wilburn of Pasco will re-
turn to complete the organization OF
the club, which he started about three
weeks ago.
The membership will not be limited
to the original one hundred members
which was at first required. The COM
mittee will be glad to accept the names
of any one who wishes to become
member. The small fee of twenty-five
cents per year, which is sent to the
Townsend club to aid in their adver-
Using expense, is but q small dona-
ton to worthy cause.
The leading newspapers are chang
ing very decidedly their views in re-
gard to the Townsend plan, as are also
many of our leading citizens through
out the country. One of these gentle
men, j. B. Van Dyke, writes very
enlightening article in the Seattle
Times of Friday, March 10Th, which
reads in, part:
"The latest statistical abstract was
for the year 1888. 1t is contained IN
the city library in Seattle, where 1t
can be examined by anyone desiring
| to examine it. It shows the transac-
lions in that year aggregate one trl-
lion two hundred billions Of dollars.
A per cent tax thereon would pro-
duce twenty-four billions of dollars In
year. That is what DR.. Townsend
contends. That statistical information
compiled by the government supports
and attests the accuracy Of his claim
| and takes away the foundation of this
| criticisms made by the federal officers.
Such an excise tax is the most equit-
able way of providing the money to
| pay the pensions. 1t would not impair
the treasury of the U. S."
Like a message of support coming
to us out of the past from Abraham
Lincoln is an article written by his
niece and received by DR.. Townsend
supporting his pension plan and ask
ing for consideration for the writer
She says: II am niece Of Abraham
Lincoln and great-granddaughter OF
his stepmother, Sarah Bush Lincoln'
born in the log cabin built by Thomas
Lincoln and his son Abraham in 1881
on Goose Nest Prairie"

No Early Spud
Code This Year

There will be no code for early po-
tatoes in this district this season, w.
G. Muldrow, secretary Of the Early Po-
tato Code committee, says in state
ment to the Spokesman this week. This
action was taken following the sub
mission of questionnaires to the grow
ers, more than 80 per cent of whom
voted against code this season.
Mr.. Muldrows statement follows:
The Early Potato Code Committee
has recently sent out questionable
to the growers of that crop in the
lower Yakima valley, asking them to
vote on whether the code should be
fifty-two replies were received, and one
hundred tWenty-siX of these voted no.
The committee will report this fact to
Director Robinson, and will make no
plans to operate a code this year.
The growers were asked how many
acres of early potatoes they grew in
1884 and how many they were planting
this year. Those replying indicated
$40 acres in 1884 and $40 for 1885, a
decrease of per cent. This is doubt
less representative.
Knowing that the state markets took
less than half the total crop last year,
and that the crop this year will be
nearly as large, it is clear that about
half of this years crop must again
be marketed in the middle west-the
St. Paul-Des Moines territory. With no
code protection, the price within the
state must be the same as the price
without the state. This means the price
in st. Paul less freight.
That price will be governed by the
crop in the mid-southern section which
formally supplies that market. If that
section has short crop, the price will
be good. If that section has good
crop, we shall see what consignment
and price cutting can do to the price
here.

BUILDINGS GET
NEW COAT OF PAINT

Despite the backwash of winter dur
ing the past few weeks, homes and
business houses of the valley are I'M
dergoing complete spring renovation.
Demand for painters is especially brisk,
and the result is the freshened appear
ance of many buildings.
The residence of Mrs. G. D. Loveland
in White Bluffs is receiving three new
coats of white paint, the work being
done by w. Williamson. The pool room,
owned by Harry Keller, is also being
repainted this spring, an under coat
of gray and finishing coat of white
being applied by Wilmot Morford The
City Garage, owned by Roy Gibbins,
was recently painted and the Mission
Service Station, now being managed by
Earl F'reebury, will be repainted and
number of improvements made.
The business men of Hanford, de-
termined that their town shall present
an attractive appearance to travellers
as well as residents, are giving all
woodsheds and unused buildings in
the town thorough whitewashing
With several buildings already finished
the results are most pleasing.

Soft Fruit Crop
Badly Hit By
Heavy Frosts
Snow Storms Precede Low
Temperatures Over All
Districts

Wintry temperatures handed eastern
washington the severest blow of the
season Monday and Tuesday of this
week when the temperatures dropped
to as low as II degrees above zero at
some points. The coolest temperature
in the Priest Rapids valley Monday
night was IL degrees, with the average
at from IA to 16 degrees Tuesday
nights temperatures were slightly
higher, IA degrees being recorded at
the government weather station at
Hanford, while many growers reported
temperatures of around IS degrees.
The cold snap was general over the
entire eastern portion of the state, the
coolest temperature in central Wash
ington being reported from Selah
where the mercury dropped to IL de-
grees KenneWick and Prosser reported
temperatures of 16 and Is degrees, res
pectively and at Benton City similar
readings were recorded Monday night.
Growers of the Allard-Vernita dis
trict report soft fruit nearly all wiped
out, while in the Hanford-White Bluffs
district, some orchardists report severe
damage, others saying that there will
be some soft fruit left. Many Of the
White Bluffs growers smudged their
orchards, growers, business men and
neighbors all working in the fields
Monday and Tuesday nights to save as
much fruit as possible.
Early varieties of apples were badly
hit by the frost and it is expected that
the pear crop will be about SO per
cent of normal. Apricots are practically
entirely wiped out in most sections.
while peaches and cherries will vary
from complete loss to SO per cent of
normal Little damage was thought 70
have been done to winesap and other
late varieties Of apples.
| The freezing temperatures early in
the week we're proceeded by snow
which covered nearly all of eastern
! Washington Sunday night and Mon
day morning.
The Wenatchee and Yakima valleys
reported fall of from one to severn;
inches of snow Sunday night and
blizzard swept over the Rattlesnake
Hills between Cold Greek and Pros
ser, leaving drifts as high as several
feet in places. Cold Greek reported
several inches of snow Monday morn
ing and snow was reported falling
there this, Thursday, morning.
