Grass Season
Lasts SO Days
Per acre production
third under normal

Grass season officially closed
with today's cutting, according to
the Mailing contracts. The season
for that company lasted for 83 days.
While there was a considerable In
crease In asparagus acreage in this
district this year, adverse weather
conditions cut down the per acre
production decidedly. Based on av-
erages, the production was at least
a third less than normal.
Spud prices have dropped to less
than cost Of production and sud-
den drop in the sale price OF apricots
has knocked the props out from
that small crop. In view of con-
ditions throughout the country, both
producers and shippers are unable to
discover the reason for the low
prices being paid for farm products
this year.

Pioneers Expect
Many Visitors
At 18th Picnic
Committee urges old
residents to register at
booth at the Park.

'Tell them to he sure and regi-
ster" were the last minute instruc-
lions given by the committee having
charge of the Pioneer Picnic on
the Fourth. There will be a regi-
stration booth conveniently located
at the park, where a section will
be reserved for the exclusive use of
the pioneers. -......
Residents of the community prior
the 1866 years ago are con-
sidered as pioneers, and there should
be a large number of additional
regiStrants this year on that ac-
count, as many of our citizens came
to the country between 1910 and
1915.
Cards have been sent to all regi-
strants Of former years, inviting
them to return to renew old friend
ships. Many replies have been re-
ceived by Mrs. Bently who has had
this part of the work in charge.
The replies indicate that a goodly
number of former residents are
planning to take part in the cele-
bration this year.
Of course, in addition to the
remember when" stuff, the big
feature for the Pioneers will be
the chicken dinner. Then, too. the
display of early day pictures will
again be featured, and Mrs. Elmer
Olsen is digging up many that have
never been shown before. This
has proved to be a most interest
ing feature in past years.
Introduction of visitors, at which
Frank Bentley will act as master of
ceremonies, will be a feature of the
noon hour and a few extra sur
prises are in store for the guests.
The committee wants it definitely
understood that all residents of the
district 25 or more years ago are
welcome at the Pioneer section.
There are many, of course, whom
the committee up to now have miss
ed, but once on the registration
book, they will be included in future
affairs. So be sure to register, if
you qualify by length of residence.

company, warned today.
HParents should caution their
children to fly kites only in open
spaces, away from all electric lines, F"
Mr.. Fisken said "Of course, wire
should never be used as string, no mat
ter how small, and metal kites should
be avoided. Even a damp cotton string
will conduct electricity
Even is a kite should become en-
tangled in the wires, despite all warn
ings, Mr.. Fisken warned against climb
ing poles to retrieve it. Even Il small
wire may carry a terrific voltage sui
ficient to stun anyone coming in con-
tact with 1t and causing him to fall
