gone and all the paper peeled
from the walls. Windows had to
be purchased in Pasco and hauled
to their home across the railroad
bridge in wheelbarrow.
"The railroad bridge was the
only way we had to get to Pasco
then" she said. "When we'd hear
a train coming we'd have to run
and get down on one of the piers.
It sure was scary. When the water
was highest, you could touch 1t
with your hand reaching down
between the ties"
Ten days after the Smalley's
had moved back into their home,
son, Joseph, was born.
Those who remembered the
flood agreed that the weather
conditions were the same in 1894
as in 1948-late, cold spring with
the heat breaking suddenly to-
ward the last of May. They also
remembered an unusual number
of .thunderstorms in that year.
There was no town of Kenne-
wick, as such, in 1894. Only about
SO people lived where the city
now stands, and most lived along
the river. The Northern Pacific
railroad tracks were in the same
position then as now and there
were a few buildings clustered
along the tracks.
r. c. Bremmer, who came to
Richland from Seattle in July
after the flood was almost down,
remembers that most of Richland
had been covered.
"There was a line of driftwood
several miles long right where
the main street of Richland is
now" he said. "The water got
right up to that road, but not
quite over it. The water was 3742
feet above low water mark in
Richland that year"
Bremmer said he asked some
old Indians il they had ever seen
the river so high. They replied
that they had never seen 1t so
high nor had they ever heard
Of such flood. Indians pass
stories of unusual occurances a.
long from generation to genera
ton, Bremmer said, so it Is a
pretty safe bet that the river
had never been higher than in
1894. The Indians themselves We

questioned had been, forced out OF

mer remembers. He had special
reason to remember because he|
made the trip with a team over
Snoqualmie pass the summer of
the flood.
"At the top Of the pass I noticed
some branches had been hacked
off the trees about Is feet above
the ground" he said. "This con-
tinued for quite a distance on the
trail, always with the cutoff
branches about Is feet off the
ground.
"When we got to Easton I
asked q man what had happened
to those branches. He told me
that the snow had been piled Is
feet deep on the pass that winter,
and that to get the pack trains
over he trail It was necessary to
slash q path through the tree
branches. When the snow went
off, It left the winter trail high
and dry"
Bremmer also remembered that
the summer heat had come sud-
denly and had melted the snow
all at once. The trip with q team
from. Seattle to Richland took
Bremmer IA days. He said they
made between 20 and 80 miles
a day. The route they followed
was an old government road built
by the army about the time that
Fort Walla Walla was construct
ed. Ellensburg was the western
end Of the Northern Pacific rail-
way in 1894.

Life on 40 Acres Alfalfa Tops All Grass Plan

However, Leslie King, the Soil Con-
servation Service farm planner, was
down the other day and I feel bet
ter after his visit.
Mr.. Kings verdict is possible top
of 18 cows, and a program of all
grass farming. His plan to accom-
plish this goal will divide the place
into four main pastures, plus a To-
acre strip that will take in the deep
Bucks soil where the alfalfa will be
planted. This crop section will be
laid off in strips to provide alfalfa
and other forage crops. There will
be no corn and no small grains, un-
less at some future time such crops
might be used some years for en-
silage.
In the pastures the grasses will
be patterned to the soil types. We
will use orchard grass, bluegrass,
clovers, perhaps some fescues, and
in the wet places we will seed canary
grass. Proper mixtures, plus fertil-
ization, we hope will provide all the
pastures we will need.
Well see in a few years who Is
right. Just now it does look mighty
pretty on Mr.. Kings map.

We have a problem Of misplaced
motherhood. The Toulouse gander
has taken over the guardianship OF
four goslings, and We have to fight
him off each night when we bring
them into the kitchen.
The goose had begun to set on
two eggs. Then one day we heard
terrific commotion and found
that something had gotten into her
nest and broken her eggs.
She didn't understand what had
happened, and went around lament
ing in loud voice. 1t was about
this time that the gander took over
the orphans. Perhaps his mate, in
her sorrow, didn't give him the at
tention he thought he deserved.
At any rate he is being a good
mother" He won't let the goslings
out of his sight, and the other day
we saw him showing them how to

More and Better Bush Fruits
Pruning Increases Vigor of Plants,
Prevents Overbearing, Hurts Pests
by w, n. Younomon

Since we are now entering the
season Of bush fruits-raspberries,
blackberries. and currants-it seems
a fitting time to give little
thought to their care, especially the
necessary pruning.
To do a good job Of pruning we
should first of all understand some
of the reasons for it and the results
expected.
BY proper pruning we increase
the vigor of plant and at the same
time prolong life by preventing
over-bearing.
Yields will be increased because,
while there will be less bearing
area, the fruit will be much larger
and of better quality.
Insect pests and diseases are
somewhat controlled by proper
pruning and the fruit will be
cleaner if grown off the ground.
Any one knows that 1t is very
difficult to pick the berries from
berrying plants-or to cultivate
others growing nearby-if the canes
are allowed to- grow freely and to
spread over too great an area.
The method Of pruning depends
upon whether the plants are to be
tied to stakes or are to be allowed
to stand erect without support.
Raspberries grow to full height
one year and send out fruiting
canes which bear the die back to
the ground. These canes are Of
no further value and should be cut
off the following spring
Some growers disagree with this
method, maintaining that If the
old canes are removed as soon as
the last berry is picked there is
less danger from disease.
Probably each grower will need to
decide this for himself according
to whether or not his bushes have
been troubled with a fungus disease.
If pruning is done in the spring
1t should be done very early-cer-
tainly not after the tiny green
leaves put in an appearance.
Black raspberries produce such
long canes that unless they are
pinched back they form an almost
impenetrable thicket. If new shoots
are pinched when about "a inches
high, lateral branches will develop
which may be tied to stakes on a
wire trellis. These laterals should
also be pinched back to from to

1t looks as though we may have
a farm after all, despite some rather
sarcastic remarks that have come to
us from some quarters.
I should explain that we have
some soil types that lot of good
farmers would 60 miles to avoid.
But there. is some pretty good land,
measured by its ability to grow al
falfa.
In fact we have become awed by
the mention of alfalfa, and I am
glad to be able to answer, when
some one asks me, that I have a
section where this queen Of forage
plants" will grow With all the
other odds against me. don't be-
lieve I could stand up under the
stigma of not being able to grow
alfalfa.
1 often wonder how some farm
ers, whose land is not suited to this
crop, manage to stand up and face
their more fortunate neighbors. 1t
sometimes looks like alfalfa may be-
come the basis for future social dis
tinctions in the country.
But back to the 40 acres. Some
of the soils men have been rather
critical, admitting not much more
than my ability to maintain goat
