Early Concord
Grape Developed

Grapes are nothing new in the
KenneWick Area. But grapes
that bear the first year out, are
certainly something new. Or
dinarily concord grapes take
three years from planting to
bearing. These new grapes, so
new that they still have no Of
ficial name, were set out this
spring and are bearing this sum-
mer.
The first vineyard in the Ken
newick area is owned by Mr.. and
Mrs. John Farris of Route 2 on
the River Road. Having small
acreage that they wished to grow
grapes on they went to the Stark
Bros. Nursery, and Mr.. Saund-
ers. the Kennewick representa-
tive. told them that he had the
| finest grapes in the valley. They
believed him and put in a half
acre of the wonder grapes. MT
Saunders, failed to warn them
that they would be harvesting
| this fall, and the Farris family
| had pleasant surprise in store
for them.
Most of the plants are about
liz inches tall with few fronds
reaching 18 inches. Most plants
had two or three punches, and
many had five and six. The
prize plant had IS punches ano
the plant was only about Il IN.
ches tall and spread in a circle
about two feet in diameter.
The Stark Bros. Nursery has
lbeen experimenting for ten years
to produce this early bearing
grape. Now the experimenting
lis past and the Nursery is get
ting ready to plant its own 90
acre vineyard. It will be about
two years before this early con-
cord grape will be for sale on
the open market, according 70
Mr.. Saunders, as they already
have orders that will take all
they can produce above those
vines needed for their own Vine
yard. ,s- -~

Project Reports
Near Completion
In Boise Meet

The final big step leading to
completion of the Bureau of Re-
clamation work on the Ken
neWick Highlands final report
was taken at Boise in con-
ference Tuesday. Present from
Kennewick were Frank Maui
pin, secretary of the Kennewick
Irrigation Projects committee,
and Ed Brand, manager of the
Kennewick district and MEM
Der of the committee.
Last differences were ironed
out in regard to objection of
fishermen and sportsmen. Pre-
sent at the session were repres-
entatives of both the National
and Washington State Fish and
Wildlife departments.
The meeting came about as the
result of discussions with the
state department in Seattle by
the same KenneWick men a
week earlier
Completion of the report,
with all objections from any
sources eliminated, speeds the
date at which the project will
be ready for Congressional ac-
ton
1t will first go to Secretary
Of the Interior julius Krug, to
Governor Wallgren and other
agencies, all of whom have pre-
viously studied the preliminary
report. 1t is believed by the
local committee that there are
no more snags to be overcome
and that action can be expected
early this fall.

Chief Warns OF
Need for Caution

In view of increasing traffic
facilities throughout the state;
Chief of Police M. H. Kershaw
this week urged local drivers
to use extreme caution on the
highways during this Fourth of
July weekend.
80 persons died in the 1912
ing in Washington during May,
according to a report issued re-
Gently by the State Patrol.
Traffic fatalities in both ru-
raj and urban areas in May
increased 26% over May of 1916,
despite the fact that urban and
rural accidents fell off 3h 20 and
10 respectively.
OF the rural accidents in the
state, three out of five occurred
on the weekend days of Friday,
Saturday, and Sunday. Three
of every five fatalities chalked
up in the rural areas were the
result of these weekend crash
les. Again, one out Of every
three of the persons who died
on Washington highways during
May were killed in accidents
happening in the early hours of
the morning, between IL and 4
a. m.
Of the 1892 total, 264 accid-
ents were caused by the failure
of driver to grant the right
of way. 8 died.
ZIG crashes were the result of
excessive speeding. 6 died.
215 were caused by driving on
the wrong side of the road. 5
died.
These Were the three chief
causes of May accidents in the ru-
raj areas. Other reasons listed by
the Washington State Patrol Were:
following too closely, inattention,
failure to signal, improper passing,
falling asleep and cutting in. In
the 70 accidents resulting from at
tempting to drive while under the
influence of intoxicating liquor, 8
more were killed.
The report states that vacation
time, accompanied by ideal wea-
ther, is frightening the period Of
hours in the day in which acct
dents are becoming more preva-
lent. - s
In Benton county one fatality
was listed for May.
