IRRIG.ATE! CHERRIES
AFTER HARVEST

Contrary to general belief, cherry
trees need plenty of water after
the crop has been harvested as well
as before, say Washington State
College horticulturists The practice
of disseminating irrigation after
harvest has been one of the prin
cipal causes of rapid weakening and
short life of many of the cherry
trees In the northwest.
Harvesting the crop changes very
little the amount of water required
to keep the trees in vigorous con-
dition. The trees require normal
growing conditions throughout the
season in order to store sufficient
food materials to enable them to
pass through severe winters and
produce strong blossoms the follow
ing spring
When the trees are not given wa
ter throughout the entire growing
season they are not kept in good
vigor and are highly susceptible to
winter injury.

Study Plans
For New Land
Two Projects Listed AS
Feasible If Costs Are
Within Reason,

Possibilities OF adding new land
to the irrigation system were dis
cllssed by the board of directors of
the Priest Rapids Irrigation Dis
trict at their meeting Monday
night with a group of landowners.
Several proposals have been adj
vanced for the addition to the sys-
tenn, one being the installation of
an auxiliary pumping plant south
west of the r. j. Roberts ranch to
supply water to large acreage of
virgin land in that vicinity.
Under this plan, a canal would
be constructed from a point near
the river to connect with tine pres
ent canal farther east, furnishing
water for the main canal when
needed in addition to watering the
new acreage.
The district has already received
inquiries concerning the purchase
of about 12O acres of land In. that
area, but until water can be fur
nished to it nothing further can he
done.
Another plan proposed ait the
meeting was to install pump near
the old pumping plant on the river
at Old Town to furnish water for
large acreage in that vicinity,
which was once irrigated by the
Todd system. 1t WAS suggested that
a number of farms there would
take additional water if it could be
supplied.
Both plans are under considera-.
ton by the directors, who are seek
ing ways to bring the cost Within
reasonable limits.

DEADLINE EXTENDED

With less than half the mo

Report Made \
On Park
Frank Fox, Superintend
ent at Ginkgo, Recon-
nents Project.

Reporting on his recent trip to
white Bluffs, Frank Fox, slperin-
t,endent of the Ginkgo Forest ait
Vantage, recommended that the
state and federal park services c01~
struet park near the Grange hall
at Old Town, it was revealed in a
copy of his report received this
week by Mrs. I. B. Burns.
His report Slated that because
of the pleasing tree growth on this
area situated in a, bare, arid and
remote district, because no recrea-
tional area exists within many
miles, and because the use and
benefit of this park will be enjoyed
over a wide area and by large
number of public spirited, appre-
ciative and progressive citizens,
this development is recommended
for approval"
The report was made to WI. c..
Weigle, of the national park SER
vice, and must be acted upon by
him and by the state park board
before the outcome of the project
cam be known.
In commenting upon the pro-
posed park, MIR. Fox said that "No
development that will require main
tenance by the state is contem-
plated. 1t is desirable to raze all
the existing Structures, to Install a
suitable water system, TO construct
q, community kitchen and fire
place, and to develop a picnic area
with table and bench combinations
Responsibility for maintenance
and control of the park will be ia
ken by a committee from the local
Grange"
The tract of land on which the
proposed project would be con-
structed consists of about so lots,
IL of which are owned by private
individuals, ID by the irrigation
district and IS by the county. If
the development is approved, all
land must be turned over to the
state, he pointed out
At recent Grange meeting,
Frank Hensley was appointed to
contact the irrigation district and
county to determine if their hold
ings could be turned over ito the
state. A number of private owners
have already signified their will
ingness to deed their land to the
state.

BENTON COUNTY
TO BE MAPPED \

Photographic planes Of the Wal
lace Aerial survey last week began
flights over Washington counties IN
the beginning of a program to map
either from the ground or from the
air. most, of the farm, land in the
state, announces F. E. Balmer, ex-
tension director of the State Col
lege of Washington.
The aerial and ground mapping
is being done chiefly by the AAA
to get basis for determining soil
conservation grants to falrhers.
However, in certain sections, other
agencies are cooperating and the
information secured will be of use
by county governments and other
organizations.
Aerial mapping started in Adams
county on July 18 and will be fol-
lowed in other counties in the state
for which contracts have been let
for this year as soon as atn1os-
pheric and crop conditions warrant.
A total of 5,O24 square miles of the
state are to be aerially mapped this
year.
Regions include: 627 square miles
in eastern Franklin county; all of
Columbia county but us. forest
service land; 1904 square miles or
about two-thirds of Spokane coun-
ty in the west and south; 1888 square
miles scattered In Lincoln county;
218 square miles i'm northern Grant
county; 1862 square miles in west
central Douglas county; the south
central half of Klickitat county,
about 778 square miles. l
Additional areas in some of these,
counties have been scheduled for
aerial mapping in 1888 and other
counties have been proposed for
1888, including: WEhatcom, Skagit,
Snohonlish, Lewis, Cowlitz, Clark,
Yakima, Kittitas, Clallam and Ben
ton. The entire counties of Whit
man, Walla Walla and Garfield
had already been aerially mapped
in 1894.
In several counties ground map
ping is being done of farms which
have asked to be included in the
soil conservation program. Counties
in this group are: Mason, Kitsap,
Pacific, Wahhakum, Pend Oreille,
Asotia, San Juan and Island.

battle was postponed from earlier in
the week due to rain.
Donofrio, according to Earl McDon-
aid, co-promoter OF the show with
Joe Turner, was signed two weeks
ago. The contract states specifically
that contracting parties should IA
miliarize themselves with the rules
OF the commission.
Apparently Donofrio and
Johnson didn't bother.
Pete Moran, the Philly match
maker, who booked the fighters here,
claimed he didn't realize the rule ap-
piled to preliminary boys, but the
clause definitely includes all contest
ants.
Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn and
Mcdonald, both of whom apparently
were ignorant that Donofrio and
johnson were slated for action in
Wildwood, N. j., and Atlantic City,
respectively, only 70 hours before their
appearance here, claimed neither
fighter was injured, and since the
commission had okayed Armstrong,
why not pass the others?
Sets Poor Precedent.
T INOFF1CIALLY, the commission
felt 1t was too late to do any
