Orchard Yarn 



Progressive orchardists, those right down to the minute 

 In methods of protecting heavy laden fniit trees, are agreed 

 that tying branches with Orcliard Yarn is the modem way 

 of supportlne orchard trees. It Is not expensive. Is easilj- 

 done, and the time to tie is when trimming. The spure 

 are then tougher, less easily broken off than later, leaves 

 are not in the way and all parts of the tree can be seen. 

 Saving but a small percentage of trees from being broken 

 down win pay for the expense of tying an entire orcliard. 

 One-ply Tarred Manila Yam will mn about 2il(> feet per 

 pound. Two-ply will lun from 90 to 100 feet per pound. 

 Put up in 5-pound balls or on 10-pound spools. In 5-pound 

 balls the yam pulls from the inside and is more easily 

 handled. 



Sold by all merchants handling orchard supplies.

BETTER FRUIT 

 Contest for Boys and Girls 



The Washington State Fair, which 

 will be held in North Yakima this year 

 September 20 to 25, is going to make a 

 strong appeal to the interest of the 

 boys and girls of the state. An at- 

 tractive list of premiums has been pre- 

 pared in a special catalog covering dif- 

 ferent phases of agricultural displays 

 and stock judging. Besides the regular 

 list of premiums, several individual 

 prizes are likewise offered. One of 

 these is a scholarship at the Washing- 

 ton State College, offered through its 

 president, E. A. Bryan, to the most suc- 

 cessful student of any high school, or 

 eighth-grade graduate in the stock- 

 judging contest. As tuition at the state 

 college is free, the prize will be ac- 

 cepted as an exemption to the extent of 

 thirty dollars in room rentals or other 

 fees. Another individual prize is 

 offered by Dr. H. T. Graves, state com- 

 missioner of agriculture, for the best 

 exhibit of vegetables submitted by any 

 boy or girl in the state residing outside 

 of Yakima County. 



The scope of the children's industrial 

 contests at the State Fair is wide and 

 covers Home Economics, Agriculture, 

 Manual Training, Nature Study, Edu- 

 cational, Floriculture, Horticulture and 

 Livestock. So comprehensive has this 

 department been made that the special 

 premium list was made necessary. 

 Rodney Ackley, a children's organizer 

 of state-wide reputation, is the superin- 

 tendend in charge, and a systematic 

 effort is being directed toward making 

 the department one of the interesting 

 and educational features of the fair. 

 The contests are open to the children 

 of the entire state, and the premium list 

 is scarcely equaled by any state fair in 

 the West this year.

 month of August reported a strong de- 

 mand for all kinds of fruits.
