WASHINGTON Scene
By George Dixon

A LTHOUGH the war seems
n 10 he Over-at least tenn
porarily-the air raid sand
boxes have not yet been re-
moved from the Senate office
building. There Is a box In
every one of the many dozens
Of corridors.
Maybe they can still he OF
some use, at that, The Sena-
tors might find them handy
receptacles in which to play
ostrich.
MATRIMONY should take a
vi great upward boom this fall
and winter. The office Of sur
plus property announced il had
release 10000, 900 shotgun
shells.
Among society grande DANES
we have in stock is party
called Mrs. Robert Low Bacon,
maybe 10 distinguish her from
an Indian brave, Johnny High
Bacon. 2
The lady. I gather, is one of
our great international thinkers
and is also a very determined
Character.
The other day she was
scheduled to conduct a radio
debate with another society
matron. Mrs. Emil Hurja, on
what 10 do about the atomic
bomb. AS everyone knows,
nothing can be done about the
atomic bomb until the govern
ment gets the okay of either
Mrs. Bacon or Mrs. Hurja. So
YOU can appreciate the import
ancs Of the occasion.
The tWo-dame forum was
supervised by Mrs. Esther Van
Waggoner Tufty Who prepared
working script. Mrs. Tufty
impressed upon the ladies that
il would be necessary 10 stick
pretty closely 20 the script so
that each could corne in exactly
on cue. She handed them the
stuff a day ahead of time and
told them 10 take it home and

Mrs. Bacon apparently got

ship and decided 10 revise her
end of the script. But she went
on the air without apprising
either Mrs. Tufty or Mrs. Hurja
of the reviSionS.
The upshot was that the de-
bate became almost unintellie-
ible. Mrs. ifurIa would ask a
question and Mrs. Bacon would
come in with a reply which had
n conceivable connection.
II got worse and worse. with
Mrs. Tufty almost tearing her
blonde hair out by the roots.
Mrs. Hurja was practically In
tears. At last, when II began 10
sound like the final act of 10
nights in a bar room, Mrs. Tufty
shouldered both contestants
aside. She meant TO say some

called urcma. He thinks that

II would appear then. that
excessive rest may be almost as
harmful as too much activity.
II is the middle ground that
must be- considered. Each pa

he is allowed 10 exert during
his period Of couvalescence is
determined by his condition.

County Agents Column
By Walter L. Click

On Monday very gratifying
meeting was held at the Kenne-
wick Highlands, when 160 grape
growers came to the First Annual
Horticultural school. Principal
emphasis was given to the grow
ing, culture and various problems
connected with the production OF
grapes. Francis Ludlow, describ-
ing the outlook, stated that the
grape industry should be in very
good position from both a produc-
ton and a market standpoint. Bill
Luce, associate extension agent of
Yakima, gave a well defined talk
on soils and soil characteristics,
and DR.. John c. Snyder confined
his remarks mostly to propaga-
ton, pruning and training. The
leaf hopper menace was described
by Dave Brannon and Laurel G.
Smith. A new type of vaporizer,
using only S gallons of an oil
and DOT mixture per acre, was
demonstrated by Mr.. Smith.
The interest the growers took
in the meeting was most crafty
ing. Lots of questions were asked
of the men from the college. All
of which leads me to state what
l have long believed to be true:
If a farmer is sufficiently inter-
rested in attending a meeting he
will get there. If he finds it to
his advantage to use the informa-
ton cleaned from such meeting
he is much more apt to announce
to his neighbor that the meeting
was worth while and he was glad
he went.
It Is the hope that Mondays
meeting will be a start of an an
nual event which will take the
form of the Annual Horticultural
meeting. Maybe next year we can
talk about soft fruits, or what
ever is of the most interest at the
time. Maybe vegetables might be
discussed at some time, maybe
Strawberries. Who knows what the
future may hold? But what ever
the future holds, as long as the
grower demands keep up and the
need of community is known,
then will the Extension service
be ever on the alert to bring to
the growers the latest informa-
ton on that subject.
