Increase 10 Hit
County in 1919

Real and personal property val
uations in Kennewick for 1949 ex-
coed the three and half million
mark, according to the records of
County Assessor Ira M. Hartman.
The city gained $777,230 over
1913 for 1949 total valuation of
$3,540,670. The countrywide in
crease is placed at $2,431, 400.
The total county valuation for
1949 is $l2,810,950 and does not
include the valuations for all in
ter-county property such as rail-
roads and utilities, and excludes
the huge Hanford reservation. The
1913 valuation was $10,379,550
The city of Prosser gained $271,-
$40 for a total valuation of $685.
500.
The increase, which is 18.89%,
is divided about equally between
city property and rural property.
The increase in valuations for the
three incorporated cities Of Prosser,
Kennewick and Benton City is ST.
3,040. The increase for the
three road districts is $1,317, 800.
The 1879 increase in valuations
is accounted for largely by gen
eral overall increase on property
values. Last year the assessor
based his figures on 400 of actual
value of improvements. This year
the assessor is using $50 of &C
tual value. This represents approx

Going through a careful SCREEN

prunes are inspected for size, for
green fruit and for leaves or

Avoid Selection
Of Extreme Size
o. Breeding Toms

eekS. q period recommended 1Ol
Selection of future breeders, Web
ster pointed out that in wing band
ing breeding toms it is a wise
policy to determine the average
weight for the flock and choose
toms close to that weight,
SHOULD the grower desire tc
increase the size of the turkeys he
should introduce toms from some
strain whose flock average is high
er than his own" He added:
Should he desire to decrease the
bird size Of his flock he should
introduce toms from a strain with
a flock average lower than his
present flock"
Objections to using toms Of ex.
IRENE size Qarger or smaller than
the flock average) from the grow
ers own flock are several. AS
noted by Dr.. Igor Kosin, assistant
geneticist Of Washington State
Colleges Division Of Poultry Hus-
bandry, the small toms may be
small due to a setback in brood
ing, rearing, growing, feeding
management or minor disease out
break.
"Only by progeny test Of each
tom could you be certain that he
would transmit his size to his off
spring." says DR.. Kosin.
Large toms are usually slower
to mature, slower to feather than
] the average weighted toms, ac-
to DR.. Kosin. eff the
1ryman wishes to change the
erage size Of his flock he should
do so by introducing newblood
from a well established strain
having the weight average desir-
ed"
The geneticist further added
that breeding toms regardless of
the age at which they are selected
should show balance, masculinity
ana vigor. He said toms which
appear front-heavy should not be
chosen. Heart shaped breasts
texreme width at the front taper
ing to a point at the keeD, short
keels, and normal keels with the
attachment of the legs too far back
on the body, appear to be some
OF the causes Of front heavy toms.
Toms with long, well flesned keels
good width Of body without excess
depth should be chosen. The keel
should be parallel with the back.
Masculinity can be determined
Dy the amount Of red caruncles on
the head and neck, the size of the
beak and head, size of bone (ap-
parent on the shanl.s) and the GEN
eral activity Of the tom. Viaor
can be described as width Of head
and back lover the heart). A
long narrow-headed tom with mar
row back Is considered not only
an undesirable breeder but win
also dress out as a pool market
type.

the conjunction. as, II will 60 pro-

Q. In addressing letter thus:

Attention Mrs. Mary West.

what Is the proper salutation to
use-"Dear Mrs. West"?-G. e. s.
A. No. The letter is not addressed
to Mrs. West: it is merely marked
for her attention. The proper SAL
utation Is: Gentlemen. CThe prac-
tice of doing away with both the
saiutation and complimentary close
is gaining momentum among Amer

Uncle Rays Corner

| One day, years ago, l had lunch
with Howard Thurston, the noted
magician. Thurston (who died in
1886 ranks among the worlds great
magicians. along with Hermann,
Keller and Houdini.
I enjoyed the meal and the talk
had with Thurston but I must
admit I was a little disappointed
l had half-expected the salt and
pepper shakers to turn somesaults,
while the knives and forks danced
jig!
Nothing like that happened Our
talk with serious. Thurston told me
of his travels and adventures.
THE most interesting country I
have ever visited" he said, "is India.
1t Is so big, 1t has so much history,
and such an air of mystery. 1t gives
me the feeling of living 1000 years
back in time. The people are
friendly and kind"
ThurSton said that 1t was not his
custom to perform tricks off the
stage, but later in the afternoon,
while I was chatting with him in his
hotel room, he consented to perform
little with a pack of cards which
1 had brought along.
He shuff1ed the cards three or four
times, then spread them before me
in fashion, with the faces in my
direction.
Pick out one of the cards." he
said.
Hardly knowing which I was TAX
ing, I pulled card from the pack
You have the joker!" he ex-
claimed, and sure enough I held that
card.
After he had shown me two other
tricks, the magician remarked, This
is the first time in 20 years that ]
can remember showing any one q
trick off the stage"
