Temperatures
Climbing Back
To Normal
Small Amount of Damage
Expected In This
Valley

After a week of sub-normal temper
atures which brought damages totaling
millions of dollars to farmers, the Pa
cif1c Northwest began to thaw out this
week as temperatures again climbed
back toward normal.
The break came on Monday as a
bright sun thawed out frozen pools
of water and raised the maximum
temperatures to above 40 degrees for
the first time in week. On Tuesday,
higher temperatures were recorded
with cloudy weather aiding the fruit
growers in moving their apples from
the field without further injury.
The low point of the cold spell was
reached Saturday morning, when the
thermometer at the Hanford weather
station recorded zero.
Little damage is expected to result
in the Priest Rapids valley, as all of
the apples had been picked before the
freeze-up came. Approximately $4,000
Tugs of fruit were still in the orchards
and these were moved into storage as
soon as the weather moderated. These
apples will not be packed for ten days
or so, and until then the full extent
of the damage can not be estimated,
but it is probable that nearly the entire
lot of fruit will come through undam-
aged, says N. P. Anglin, horticultural
inspector.
Other crops received little damage
here, as nearly everything had been
harvested. Some potatoes remain in
the ground, but it is thought that if
allowed to thaw out gradually In the
ground, there will be little damage.
Whether or not peach and apricot
trees were damaged by the freeze will
not be known Until they have COM
p1etely thawed out.
Outside of this valley, conditions
were much different. In the Yakima
and Wenatchee valleys, a large portion
of the fruit was still unpicked and
more was in loose Jugs in the orchards.
While there is some hope that the
fruit on the ground may be saved, it
is the general opinion that fruit still
on the trees is worthless. In the Okan-
ogan and other late districts, larger
portion of the crop was unpicked and
damage will be high. It is expected that
damage to fruit growers over the
Northwest will total more than mil
lion dollars.
AS damage to the crops and a re-
sultant shortage became apparent,
prices on most farm products began to
rise. Apples, on which the price had
been very low, were suddenly more in
demand, and the price began to rise
Is cents and 80 cents box. Potatoes,
which week ago were bringing the
producer from $12 to $13 ton for
No. is, are now bringing him $35 per
ton. Squash advanced from 81 to $40
per ton, with almost all other vege-
tables showing proportionate gains in
price.
Temperatures during the past week,
as recorded at the Hanford weather
station, were:

Clarity Status OF
Wives Citizenship

With press time at hand, and the
news of the week exhausted, the
Spokesman last week used several syn
Dictated articles to fill up the space
that was still empty. One of these con-
cerned the citizenship requirements
affecting wives and children, and with
in short time after it's publication
the veracity Of it was challenged BY
several readers.
In order to determine the true status
of a foreign-born wife of an American
citizen and native-born wife of a
naturalized citizen, the Spokesman re-
ferred the matter to the county pros
ecuting attorneys Office, and finds that
the readers are right and the article
wrong.
In letter to the Spokesman, K. E.
serier, deputy prosecutor, states that
the latest law is: A foreign-born wo-
man marrying citizen of the United
States after 1922 does not become a
citizen by reason of that marriage, but
may be naturalized as usual, except
that no declaration of intention is re-
quired, and only one continuous years
residence in the United States is neces-
sar,y instead of five.
Prior to 1907 there was considerable
dispute as to what constituted citizen
ship in the United States, and in that
year Congress enacted laws clarifying
the situation. Under this law a woman
automatically assumed the nationality
of her husband, but fifteen years later
the policy regarding the citizenship Of
married women underwent such fun
damental change as to amount almost
to reversal.
The act of September %, 1922, lays
down the general rule that the mar
riage of women effects no change In
their status as citizens, except In the
case of an American woman marrying
an alien ineligible to citizenship, in
which event she loses her citizenship.
In other cases, however, such as the
marriage of an American woman with
an alien or the marriage of an alien
woman with an American, the woman
retains her original nationality. Fur
thermore, an alien woman can be ma
turalized even though her husband re-
mains an alien, and an American Wo-
man who lost her citizenship prior TO
1922 can regain it by naturalization.

Schedule for Southern Dis
trict Of Y.V.I.A.A. Is
Announced

The whistle opening the 1886 con-
ference basketball schedule In this val
ley will be sounded in the White Bluffs
high school gym Dec. 6 when White
Bluffs meets Hanford, according to the
schedule just drawn up for the south
ern district of the YVIAA league.
Eight teams form this district league,
with Riverview, Richland, Benton City,
Hanford and White Bluffs battling
through an eight-game schedule before
the two leading teams meet the two
winning teams of the Pasco-Kenne-
wick Prosser schedule in a playof for
district honors.
With five teams forming the B sec
ton of the district, each team draws
one bye during the season, which will
close February T. The A section, COM
posed of Prosser, KenneWick and Pas
CO, will begin their conference sched
ule January 10.
With but month remaining before
the conference opens, practice Is now
getting under way in the schools. Han
ford and White Bluffs, who fought
for the championship last year, are
both weakened this season, with White
Bluffs losing four of it's first team
through graduation, while Hanford will
be minus two of it's stellar players.
Both, however, have the nucleus for
strong teams again this year, and
should place high in the conference
standings.
