TOppenish Nine Is
Next On Schedule

Fans who like the free-hitting
style of baseball should see game
to their liking Sunday when the
heavy hitting Toppenish aggrega-
ton meets Hanford-White Bluffs
on the Hanford diamond.
The visitors have long been noted
for their murdereTS' row of husky
swatters, but have never demon
strated their power as effectively as
this season. I'm fact the locals, who
lost the first game to Toppenish
by a 1875 score, are one of the few
teams in the league that have held
them below ten-rm winning mar
gin, most Of their games having
been won by scores such as 17-5,
17-3 and 900.
Fields, who pitched SO effectively
against the locals at Toppenish last
month, is no longer with the outfit.
but he is replaced by Martin, a high
school sophomore who has been
hurting splendid ball. While all the
dope points to a Toppenish vic
tory Sunday, the locals have upset
them before and would like nothing
so well as to do it again. Given the
right kind of breaks, such a feat
may be possible, but regardless OF
the outcome, local fans can be sure
of seeing a hitting marathon. The
game will start at 2:.30.

Transparents And
Apricots Ripeningg

Shipment of both transparent
apples and apricots began here this
week as several growers picked the
earlier ripening fruit. A number OF
boxes of transparents from the w.
F. Shaw ranch made up an express
shipment to Seattle Wednesday. Lo-
cal quotations on this fruit are $50
per ton to the grower for delivery
next week.
First picking of apricots was
made at the A. j. Romans ranch
at Allard early this week, and other
growers of that district are also
commencing to pick the ripper fruit.
Outlook for this fruit indicates that
the previously quoted price OF SOU
per ton will rule.
Digging of new spuds in this val
ley has not yet started to any ex-
tent, and all estimates are that the
crop here will be much shorter than
usual, only few growers having
planted much acreage. Prices are
declining somewhat, KenneW1ch
growers receiving $50 per ton fol
their shipments this week.

Aim To Build
Future Trade
CORPORATION Would Col
lect Campaign Fund
For Work

Plans to boost the consumption
of apples through vigorous adver-
Using campaign are now being car
ried out in this state, with the ex-
pectation that by the time the 1896
crop is ready to market consumer
demand will have been strength
ened. Contract forms for growers
to sign were received here this
week.
Under such a program corpor-
alton to be known as Washington
State Apples, Inc, or Washington
Oregon Apples, Inc, in the event
Hood River growers and handlers
wish to participate, will be formed.
The corporation will be organized
with or without capital stock and
the board of directors will consist
of seven directors, all of whom are
to be growers In addition there WILL
be four advisory directors, two nom
mated by the Yakima Valley Traf-
fic and Credit association and two
by the Wenatchee Valley Trafnc
association. These advisory directors
will be qualified to attend all meet
ings and to advise, but will have
no vote.
FUNDS for the advertising Car
paign will be contributed by both
the growers and the handlers OF
the fruit. Growers who sign the
contracts agree to pay one cent per
packed box, or two cents per hum
dred pounds, such payment to be
made by the purchase of stamps
which are to be attached to the
carriers copy of the bill of lading
Each handler of the fruit will also
pay at the same rate, so that for
each packed box of apples shipped
from the fruit districts of central
Washington, at least two cents will
be used in advertising the fruit and
STRENGTHENING the demand.

Fruit Census
To Serve As
Forecast Basis
Enumerate Fruits, Nuts
And Berries For Age
And Variety

To serve as a basis for future
forecasts of fruit conditions, fruit
and berry survey is now being Ia
ken in this valley, together with
other sections of the state. The sur
vey has already been completed IN
some sections of the Northwest.
The survey, which is being con-
Quoted by the WPA, is sponsored
Jointly by the crop and livestock
estimate bureau of the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture, the State
Horticultural Department and the
State College of Washington. Lo-
cal enumerators, serving under the
supervision of Deputy horticultural
Inspector N. p. Anglin, are Wilbur
Morford and Clyde Wilson.
Included in the survey will be
tree count, both for variety ana
age, for all fruits, berries and nuts.
Production figures as we'll as dis
position of the crops will also We
ascertained.
This survey is being taken as
a result Of numerous requests from
growers for information concerning
trends of the fruit industry ana
probable future conditions ex-
plains C. j. Kitchener of the Port
land office Of the Crop and Live
stock Estimate Bureau, who was IN
the valley this week.
SNone of the three agencies spon-
soring the survey had such lnfor-
nation available and any estimate
was mostly guesswork. When this
survey is completed it will give a
picture of the fruit industry as il
exists today in the various counties
and districts of the Pacific North
west, and will provide a basis fcl
forecasting conditions as they vii
probably be in the years to come
.This is purely a statistical emu
meration. and none Of the materla
50 gathered will be used by an.
governmental agency for any othe
purpose, and all individual report
will be held strictly confidential.
