DISASTER IN ARMS

U. S. Ambassador in Britain
Urges Working Accord
With Dictators.
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Oct 2o.-United States
Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy pro-
posed last night that dictatorships and
democracies reach working agree
ment for solution Of their common
problems.
The first Ambassador ever to speak
at the Trafalgar Day dinner of the
Navy League. an annual tribute to
Lord Nelson, Mr.. Kennedy also urged
limitation of world armaments to pre-
vent major disaster"
1T long has been a theory Of mine that
it is unproductive for both democratic
and dictator countries to widen the
division now existing between them by
emphasizing their differences, which
are self-apparent," he said.
Instead of hammering away at what
are regarded as irreconcilables, they
could advantageously bend their ener-
gies toward solving their common
problems by an attempt to re-estab-
lish good relations on q world basis
There is simply no sense, common
or otherwise, in letting these differ
ences grow into unrelenting antago-
nisms. After all, We have to live
together in the same world, whether
we like 1t or not" -

Seed Production
Offers Opportunity

Unusual opportunity for seed
production, especially for grasses
and legumes, is offered by the IT.
rigated areas of Washington, says
Leonard Hegnauer, extension ag-
economist, State College of Wash
ington.
Some of the seeds could be used
in the districts where grown, and
in addition could find a ready mar
ket elsewhere. The wheat grasses,
for instance, could be grown for soil
conservation use I'M nearby districts.
Seeds that are in general demand
at this time are crested wheat
grass, slender wheat grass, and two
species of bronze grass. Among the
legumes, the sweet clovers are oc-
cupying a prominent place. Alfalfa
seed production should also be ex-
tended.
Two clovers deserve special NELL
ton in this connection. Fine quail
lty seed can be produced OF DOCIl
the red and strawberry clover. In
the future more attention will be
given to quality and origin of seed
than has been given in the past
and the irrigated sections of central
Washington could easily become
the center for strawberry clover
seed production.
Irrigation is very important in
seed production. With controlled
moisture, good yields Of high quail
ity seed can be produced.
The industry should be very
carefully developed, says Mr.. Heg-
nauer. Not all farmers can be ex-
pected to become good seed grow
ers. Some have particular apti-
tude for such work and should be
encouraged to go ahead; others are
not qualified or interested and
should not attempt it. There are
enough of those who are capable
and interested to develop a real
industry

Horticulturist Tells
Landscaping Precepts

-Four inviolable precepts in the
matter of landscaping home
grounds were laid down Tuesday
afternoon by Dr.. John G. Snyder
of WSC who, after being introduced
by Mrs. W. H. Keal, presiding Off
Ger in the absence of Mrs. Fred
Gilhuly, spoke to the Woman's club
on the subject of Gardens and
Landscaping." These were: have all
planting arrangements simple; per-
NIT natural growth; don't overdo:
be sure to plant the right tree or
shrub in the right place.
DR.. Snyder spoke in a semi
humorous style, impressing the
necessity of having a plan in ali
foundation planting, and the added
value in beauty and convenience
bestowed by a three-division ar
rangement of grounds into formal
front lawn, secluded outdoor
Sitting room and unitarian SER
vice yard Following his talk he
showed a number of slides illus
trating right. and wrong methods
in landscaping, and various BEAU
tiful shrubs.
The briefness of DR.. Snyder's
talk was disappointing to his aud
fence of nearly thirty women who
had braved the squally afternoon
to come out and hear him. but it
was necessary for him to catch a
train in KenneWick, he said, and
he left Immediately after showing
the slides.
He was accompanied and assisted
by Miss Helen Steiner, assistant
county agent of Benton county,
who also made a short talk.
Musical numbers for the program
were furnished by Miss Margaret

solos: Country Gardens" by

Now Is Time To
Control San Jose Scale
BY S. r.. KelsO
Horticultural Inspector AT Large


The San Jose Scale remains in
one place during most of it's life.
In the fall practically all stages
may he found on the trees. Winter
temperatures of is to 20 degrees F.
cause mortality of about IS pei
cent of the half-groWn scale.
San Jose scale is potentially cap
able of doing more damage than
any other insect occcrring in the
orchards of the Pacific Northwest.
Due to our warm winter and the
carry over from last year, growers
should he very careful before de-
Gliding not to spray this year. "A
light infestation last year may
cause a severe infestation this COM
ing season. AS with other small in
sects, it is the remarkable power
of reproduction to which the de-
structiveness of the past is due.
1t has been estimated that the
progeny of a single female would
number 3,216,08O,40O by fall if it
all were to survive. 1t is not sur
prising, therefore, that tree with
but a few scale on it Last spring
will be covered by them and the
fruit unfit for market this fall, if
no attempt is made to control them
during the dormant spraying sea-
son.
The question as to which nnss
terial to use depends ON what other
insects are on the trees at the time
the spray is applied. Oil sprays are
very effective against the eggs of
the red spider, fruit tree leaf roller,
newly Matched aphids and tree
hoppers, and should he used If
these insects or their eggs are nu-
merous. Otherwise, the use of lime
sulphur solution is preferable.
| The spray should preferably be
applied after the pruning is fin
ished. In medium or heavy infesta-
lions of San Jose scale, oil emul-
sion should be used ait a dilution
containing about four per cent oil.
Lime-sulphur solutions should test
at least AZ degrees Baume.

Valley League
May Reorganize
For Better Play
White Bluffs Hanford To
Be Included In Second
Division.

The White Bluffs-Hanford base
ball team will play in a new, we'll
balanced league this year, if plans
advanced by Eddie Scheinost, sec
retary- treasurer of the Valley and
NIT. Adams leagues, are adopted at
the meetings of the two organHza-
tions in Yakima Monday and Tues
day night.
In discussing the matter Satur-
day, Scheinost stated that interest
in baseball is greater this spring
than for a number of years, and
that with a number of teams seek
ing entry in the league, it may
prove advisable to split the Valley
league into two divisions, as several
OF the. teams are pulling for a
strong six-team league rather than
an eight-team loop which would
contain several weak teams.
If such an organization is effect
ed, it would then be possible to
set up a second division of the
league, to be comprised probably Of
White Bluffs-Hanford, Richland,
Benton City, Grandview, zillah
and Mckee.
Grandview's' entry is uncertain,
a;, that town is having difficulty in
finding a playing field. The Prosser
team, which will be composed OF
young players this year, may fill
IN for Grandview or, if the latter
is able to secure diamond, make
the seventh entry.
Just which teams will seek entry
ir. the first division of the league
is as yet unknown. OF those that
made up the loop last year-Pros-
ser, Goldendale. Benton City, Sun
nyside, Nippons, Pasco and Thorn
as g. Price only three, Goldendale,
Mippons and Sunnyside, are defln-
itely after berths. Pasco and Ben
ton City are expected to drop out,
Erosser's status is uncertain, and
Thomas g. Price may not sponsor
q team this year.
Ellensburg is bidding for an entry
into the loop and the Cascade
Lumber Co., which filled out the
bye dates last season. may enter.
Most of these teams are being
multi up, and the loop will be a
fast one. Goldendale is installing
lights for night ball and building
q turf diamond, and has secured
several ex-Pippin players as have
several of the other teams.
Local fans are enthusiastic in
their support of the proposed reor-
ganization, as it would give this
valleys team closer competition,
easier trips for QUITO town games
and would be a better set-up fin
nncially.
