Calyx-First Cover
Spray Time Near
BY N. p. ANGLIN,
Deputy horticultural Inspector

Growers who intend applying de-
layed calyx-f1rst cover spray should
begin in time to have this spray COM
pleted by May 9th.
Those applying a separate calyx and
first cover should begin the calyx when
about rs per cent of the petals have
fallen, and finish before the calyx
lobes have closed
With the extremely early and late
season Of 1894, many growers were
disappointed with the results of their
spray program, but as the date set for
completion of the first cover is just q
month later than 1884, with efficient
spraying, and proper timing, the grow
er should be able to come through this
season with satisfactory results.
The first cover should be followed
by a second application, to be COM
pleted within several days. These first
two covers are very important as we
are beginning from nothing and build
ing up coverage for the first early
stragglers which, if not killed, will give
us most of our second and third brood
worms.

MEET ON SATURDAY

Next Saturday morning, May 4th at
9:3O am. in the community hall at
Benton City there will be meeting
at which the latest information re-
garding the wheat situation will be
available for discussion, County Agent

This meeting is preliminary to the
nation-w wide referendum on the ques-
ton of the possible continuance of the
wheat contracts, which is to be held
on Saturday, May 25th throughout
the entire wheat-growing areas of the
United States.
1t is very important that everyone
concerned have the best information
possible before casting his vote and
also have an opportunity to fully dis
cuss various considerations affecting
the wheat situation, and for this rea-
son the countrywide meeting is being
called, says Mr.. Skuse. A. M. Camp,
state wheat agent, and possibly 9TH
ers, will be present at the meeting.

Dislike PWA
Loan Terms
Approve Refinancing Pro-
gram Being Pushed
BY Board

Terms of the PWA loan of $95 ,0cO,
offered the Priest Rapids irrigation
district, were adjudged too stringent
by the seventy or eighty landowners
of the district and interested persons
who attended an open meeting at the
White Bluffs high school Tuesday eve
ming and they voted to turn down the
offer unless better terms could be Sc
cured
The meeting was opened by w. j.
Kincaid, chairman of the board of
directors of the district, who outlined
the matter of the federal loan and
the refinancing program now being I'M
dertaken by the district.
G. T Slavens, member of the board,
declared that the most important
problem facing the district at this time
is the lowering of water costs. Under
the terms of the loan as offered by the
PWA, he declared, all present revenue
from the sale of excess power at the
Priest Rapids plant, as we'll as the
$4,000 or more additional revenue an
ticipated If the canal should be deep
ened, for which purpose the applica-
ton for loan had been made, would
have to be spent in paying off the
bonded indebtedness Of the district,
and that none Of it could be used for
lowering water costs or increasing dis
tribution facilities for q period of at
least seven years.
1t was his opinion, he stated, that
the district would be better off to go
ahead as 1t now Is, rather than to as
sumo such an additional burden from
which no immediate benefits could be
| secured
There is possibility, D. S. Wilkin-
son, secretary of the board, told the
Landowners, that better terms could be
secured. The application for the $685.
600 loan, he said, was based on con-
tractors estimates of $110 per yard
for removing rock and deepening tho
power canal. Work of this nature done
on the canal during the past few years
cost the district only As cents per yard,
and there is reason to believe, he
added, that the district would be able
| to bid on the work, possibly securing
it at less than contractors bids, and
enabling residents of the valley to Sc
cure work during the winter months.
There Is also a chance, he said that
the condition of the loan under which
all revenue would be applied to pay
ment Of Indebtedness could be modi-
fed so that some portion could be ap-
piled to the lowering Of water rent.
Under the refinancing of the bonded
indebtedness now under negotiation by
the district, it is hoped the present
bond issue of $125,000 can be cut to
approximately 100000 and the inter-
| est rate cut from six to two per cent.
If the reflnancing program is ac-
complished the annual interest pay
ments would amount to $4,000. In 1884,
the interest expense was 1921.
| The landowners present at the meet
(, ing voted In favor of the re-flnancing
program and also passed a resolution
| asking the Milwaukee railroad to &C
cept cut of SO per cent in the bond
and interest payments in the future.

SCHWISOW TO TAKE
SCHREINER'S PLACE

William Schwisow on Saturday took
over the local agency, Of the Standard
Oil company at Hanford, replacing G..
j. Schreiner, who had been agent in
this valley for the past two and a
half years. Under the policy initiated
by the company in other towns Of
this district, the agency will now be
conducted on a commission basis.
Mr.. Schwisow has been manager for
the past five and half years Of the
Mission Service Station in White
Bluffs, leaving there the first of April.
Mr.. Schreiner will remain here for
the next month or so, attending to
details in connection with the change,
and will then be transferred by the
oil company to one of its other sta
lions.

NOW IS BEST TIME
TO PLANT ALFALFA

Now is the time to plant alfalfa and
sweet clover for cover crops in the irri-
gated orchards of Washington, says
o. M. Morris, professor of horticulture
at Washington State College. The
chances for the planting to produce a
good stand decrease slightly from the
middle of April 10 the first of May,
and then more rapidly as the season
advances. The soil should be worked
into a good, mellow, even condition
and the surface flrnled and packed by
a roller or a slant-toothed harrow, then
the seeding done.
Ten pounds of alfalfa or sweet clo-
yer seed per acre on heavy soils will
usually give a good stand If the soil
is well prepared and the planting well
done. On sandy loan soils as much as
fifteen pounds of seed per acre are
sometimes required to develop good
stand. The Importance Of good seed
bed and careful planting is realized
when 1t is known that If each seed

Hanford A.C. Brings
In Another Scalp

The Hanford A. @. nine maintained
Its hold on the valley league leader
ship Sunday by downing Grandview,
IL to 2. The Hanford attack, which
included IA hits. was led by Emil
Wagner, who got two home runs out
of three trips to the plate.
In the first inning. Hanford was re-
tired on three pitched balls, all OF
which were hit to the intield for put
outs. In the second, they started the
scoring with two runs and in the third
knocked Grandviews starting pitcher,
Quaseberth, off the mound, scoring
six runs. Charvet went the rest of
the route for GrandvieW.
After holding Grandview TO three
hits in seven innings, Hartmann was
replaced by McCulloch, neWly-recruited
hurler of the locals, who allowed but
one hit in the last two innings. Grand
view was charged with seven errors
while Hanford made three hobbies,
none of them costly.
Next Sunday, Hanford faces one OF
it's toughest games Of the season when
it meets Toppenish on the latter's
field. Toppenish has strong team this
year, having won its first three starts,
and is always dangerous on its home
diamond The two teams, both unde-
feated, are now sharing the first place
berth in the league, and the result Of
this game may have a good deal of
bearing on who wins the champion
ship Of the first half.
In other games of the valley league
Sunday, Ioppenish defeated Prosser
ga, errors by Prosser allowing four
runs after they had gone into the
ninth inning at A, and Wapato
handed Yakima it's third straight de-
feat of the season, 1873.

Blossom Festival They will go to
Wenatchee Friday to take part in the
celebration Saturday.
Princess Grace is the daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs G. H. Snyder She Is senior
at the Hanford high school, where she
is an outstanding scholar. She will
probably be chosen as valedictorian OF
her class and recently won the medal
offered by the local Legion post for the
Hanford high school pupil writing the
best essay on National Defense.
The Hanford voting was held at the
Senior play April 26. Each one who
purchased ticket was allowed vote.

ection difficult.

days dance hoarders brought out 49,
$50 votes to make the final rush be-
tween Aloha Meek and Aileen Stod-
dard an exciting one.

Unfortunately the White Bluffs Band
cannot make the trip this year. AL
most half of the boys are either just
recovering from the mumps or are still
i'll from them Although Ed Ponsat has
been drilling as many of the boys as
have been able to march, and regular
band practices have been held, too
many instruments are lacking to make
a good appearance. The boys are look
ing forward to other celebrations dur
ing the summer however, and with the
training they are receiving will make
q wonderful showing.
