TRIPLE CELEBRATION
TO DRAW THOUSANDS
HERE is PREDICTION
1897 Event To Prove High
Light In The History
of Hagerstown

AS the various committees appointed
in connection with the big triple celebra-
ton to be staged here in September,
1897, become more and more acquainted
with the plan, enthusiasm increases.
There are possibilities in store for the
demonstration, far beyond the cOmpre-
hension Of any one at the present time.
The work up to now (and possibly
for some time) is in it's very first stages.
AS time goes on, there will be a WON
drOus unfolding of just what the dem
OnstratiOn will be and will mean to not
only Hagerstown and Washington coun
ty, but also to neighboring states.
The widespread Importance of the
movement can be seen already in the
interest being taken in former residents
OF the city and county who write for in
formation, and who intend to be here.
Some interesting features already can
be seen as being feasible and practical
ly certain. In fact there are many of
them which the committee have seriously
considered. AS the work of arranging
for the demonstration goes on, most
likely some things thought of may be
discarded and others not yet brought to
mind substituted. Here is where every
body can have a part in making the dem
onstration a success. The committee
invites suggestions and constructive
criticism.

UNUSUAL?

What is reported as something I'M
usual in England is that market men
are using ipstick to make old hens look
like pullets. We don't like to appear
''catty," but there's a flock of old hens
in this country who have been doing that
same thing for years.

Retrenchment BY WPA
Hats Projects Not

Although the retrenchment pro-
gram of the WPA in this state ap-
reared to threaten the construction
of all projects not yet begun, hopes
were held this week that funas
could be obtained to begin work On
the White Bluffs community hail.
Construction of the hall had been
scheduled to begin Monday of this
week, but as that date approached
WPA officials announced that 1t
would have to be delayed until
funds could be released to purchase
the materials.

Mike Davidson of the county en-
gineer's office and D. S. Wilkinson
and G. r. Chase of the local COM
mittee went to Yakima wednesday
to confer with district WPA officials,
who expressed the desire to get the
project started but declared that
the program was being curtalled SO
that present funds could carry the
present projects Until June 81, aiSo
that it was impossible to get funds
to purchase the necessary materials.

worked out so the project could
be started.

RIVER RISES AS
MERCURY CLIMBS

Near-sunner weather settled over
eastern Washington this week, at
ter winter temperatures had held
sway even through the early part
of April. The sudden rise in tenn
peratures brought the trees into
bloom and caused rapid growth OF
early vegetables.
The abnormal low water IN the
Columbia river has worked a hard
ship on some growers who pump
from the river, due to the fact that
in some cases their pumps are still
above the river level and they have
been unable to start irrigating. Inc
sudden warm spell is expected TO
bring the river up rapidly, however,
and the stage at the Coyote pump
ing plant today, 5028 feet, is IL
feet above the stage last Thursday
1t is expected that if the rise con-
tinues at the present rate the Priest
Rapids power plant can be put into
operation during the coming week
At present the district is purchas-
inc power from the P. P. & L. TIC
operate the pumping plant.

Growers Urged To
Spray For Scale
BY S. r. KELSO, Horticultural
Inspector-at-Large, Walla Walla

BY S. r. KELSO, Horticultural
Inspector -at-Large, Walla Walla
Now is the time to clean up your
orchard for scale insects. If the Win
ter DID kill any scale, it was
minor percentage of the total and
the only way to be sure OF clean
fruit at picking time is to KILL
the remaining percentage OF scale
and have saleable fruit.
Many growers have called the
Horticultural Office asking for in
formation in regard to the possible
winter kill of the San Jose Scale.
There seems to be a report to the
effect that ALL scale insects were
killed during the past winter. Past
records do not bear out this state
ment as we have had winters with
temperatures much lower than
those of last winter and we are still
spraying for the control OF scale
insects. In the fall practically all
stages of scale may be found on the
trees, but only those which are
about half grown survive the WIN
ter. Temperatures of 20 to 80 de-
grees below zero cause mortality
of approximately rs to IS per cent.
The Horticultural Department Is
advising a thorough application OF
a dormant spray. Growers who are
seriously considering the omission OF
dormant spray: be painstak1ne
in YOUR examination of the trees tt
be sure there is no live scale. This
examination should not be confined
only to the fruit trees, but to brush
and willows, if you have any, al
over the place. A few live scale IN
I. sects can. do. practically as niucl
damage to your entire crop as
severe infestation if no spray is ap
piled this year.
,, Assure yourself a clean crop D.
. a. thorough application of spray 10

Fruit Growers
Prospects Are
Best In Years
All Soft Fruit Varieties
Have Heavy Set Of
Blossoms

That the Priest Rapids valley will
have one of the largest soft fruit
crops of all time is the opinion OF |
local growers, who with hardly an
exception have reported a heavy SET
of blossoms on peach, cherry, trans
parent apple and apricot trees.
Until the trees had burst into
bloom over week ago, many grow
ers had anticipated a light set, Que
tn the three freezing spells since
last fall. but there is apparently a
very small amount of damage ana
with the danger of frosts almost
past, prospects are very bright.
The Yakima valley also reports
good prospects, with cherry and
peach crop of normal proportions,
while the apricot crop is expected
to be from 40 to so per cent OF nor
NAL Other districts, however, have
reported a great amount of injury,
especially throughout the middle
west and east.
Prices are also expecIeu W VIC
good this year, due to the short
crop in the east, improved business
conditions and the fact that the
U. S.-Canada reciprocal treaty is
expected to restore the Canadian
markets to the growers of this sec
ton.
Asparagus cutting got we'll unde7
way in the valley this week, the
warm weather causing a raple
growth of the grass. Prices arr
about the same on the fresh marke
this year, growers being offered 81
cents and As cents a crate, while
the cannery price is AZ cents TIL

Skuse Explains
Conservation Act

Farmers in Benton county who
operate farms in 1886 will be able
to receive payments from the fed
eral government under the new Soil
Conservation and Domestic Allot-
ment Act if they make some detl-
mite recommended change in their
farming pratices or crops to con-
serve their soil or increase it's fer
tilitv, County Agent w. w. Skuse
told local growers at meetings held
in Hanford and White Bluffs We'd
nesday afternoon and evening.
Crops grown on the farm in 1885
will determine the basis on which
payments will be made. Depending
on what farming practice is adopted
by the individual farmer he may
qualify for either soil conserving
pavment or smaller soil building
payment, or both.
Administration of the new pro-
gram will operate through comn1un-
ity and county committees which
in turn will be assisted by a state
committee under the direction OF
George E. Farrell, regional admin
istrator.
