Second Newt Section The Hutchinson News-Herald Western MMM Hewn, ChMHifM, Amusements, VOL. Ill HUTCHINSON, KANSAS, SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 10, 1939, NO. 1 Sour Picture For Valley Apple Growers Start Picking Windfalls At Riverbanks 15, and they too, are looking "pippin." The Kiefer pear trees are simply loaded down, many branches dangling down under the weight of the Iruit as though they might break. So, after all, there'll be some fruit. But not as much as usual.

And there will be a shortage of apples all over the country, rain or no rain. So don't blame the war in Europe if apples cost more this year. There's a reason, and war profiteering has nothing to do with it. "Jim" Farley wilt start a crew picking apples at the Riversbanks Plantation tomorrow morning picking them off the ground to salvage several thousand bushels of windfall apples, to be trucked to the cider and vinegar works. "I imagine there are 5,000 bushels of.

apples that have blown from the trees in our orchard in the past few days," said Farley. "They're practically a total loss." But that's not the worst of it. Unless there are heavy rains soon, a large per cent of the apples in not only the Riversbank3 orchards, but all the orchards in this Arkansas valley will suffer a serious depletion in the crop. Hot Weather Hurts Some of the apples are beyond saving now, the fruit growers say. The weeks of drouth and extremely hot weather have left many of the apples small.

They haven't had a chance to develop. Many have been ripening prematurely in the heat, and the winds caused a heavy loss in blowing from the trees. There was a bad hail this different hails, in one in particular on June 8 specked and pitted the, early apples. "Of course there are a lot of; uie jHiiway company good apples on the trees, and they has been having trouble with the will come along all right if we sand blowing into the cuts, cov- ran a mim "Hut Prinff frai-k-c finni, an I IKXII ujuwinj( imu uje Luut, can get a rain," said Farley.

Some years these cuts jhave had to be cleared out with Never Too Old Goodwell, never too old to learn," said A. P. Owens, 69, of Beaver, as he enrolled as a student at Panhandle A. M. college here.

advance of cents a bushel in the price wheat here above the low price in July means approximately $800,000 to farmers ot Kingman county, who refused to sell at the low price in harvest. "This is one of the few times when the farmers have had control of the wheat during a time of rapidly advancing prices," was the comment at the Farm Bureau office. It was estimated that 3,537,000 bushels of wheat are in the hands of farmers of this county at present, either in elevators here or public warehouses elsewhere, or in bins on the farm. Pledged For roans Most of this volume has been pledged as security for federal loans. Farmers who borrowed from the government received 84.2 cents a bushel.

When they made those loans it was a choice of taking that: or a price of 48 cents at the elevator. So they took the loan, with the expectation of letting Uncle Sam take the wheat when pay day came, April 30 next year. But the picture is entirely different now. Local elevators are offering 73 cents per bushel for wheat. The farmer can pay off the government loan any time and repossess his wheat.

Sitting Tight At the farm bureau office it was said not many were doing this yet, being content to "sit tight" expecting the price will yet go higher before they have to settle the federal loan. Whatever that margin is, will be profit to the farmer, And on the face of things right now Kingman county farmers have a profit of at least $30,000 in the nine cent margin between the note they must pay the USA and the wheat check they can get at the elevator on the 73 cent market price here now. But Nothing 'Sissy' About Town than 50 per cent of the business firms In this Russell county town are managed by women. And yet, strange as it seems, there is no Business is Professional Women's club here; not a Women's club of any kind. At the head of the town's one bank, the Gorham State bank, is Mrs.

W. T. Foster, one of the few women bank presidents in the whole USA. She is a daughter of E. D.

Gorham, who founded the town and after whom it was named. The manager of the Gorham Telephone is Mrs. Ella Brant. Manager of the Benso Grain Co. is Mrs.

Elsie Benso, who took active charge after the death of her husband a year ago. There are three general mercantile stores here, and women are managing all three. Nettie Wagner is manager of the Farmers store. The Goetz sisters run the Goetz department store, having had charge since their father retired two years ago and moved Mr3 Charles Hoke is the Hoke grocery to Ellis, manager store. Mrs.

Blanche Jacobs is postmaster of Gorham. Mrs, R. L. Holloway runs the Sinclair service station. There are two restaurants here arid both are run by women.

Mrs. Dave Galyard and Mrs. Harry Hester. Miss Selma Is principal of the school; Mrs. Mamie Portland is having new houses the work; Mrs.

Mary Bushnell is the community newspaper correspondent. So it goes, a decidedly feminine touch in business affairs all along the line. But Gorham is no sissy town. In the center of the rich. Gorham oil pool it is an active, aggressive busy oil town.

The only reason it doesn't have a woman mayor and council, possibly, is that it is unincorporated, the only town in Russell county that has no municipal govern' ment. Plenty Sugar; Can't SeU It Marketing Quota Beet Garden may profiteer in sugar but the sugar company here and the beet growers of this valley are out of that picture entirely. In the warehouse of the Garden City sugar plant here are 10,000 bags of sugar. A million pounds. But not a pound ot that sugar can be sold until next year.

All sugar sales are under a marketing quota of the U. S. department of agriculture. The quota already has been marketed for 1939. The price for 1940 will be fixed.

This sugar now on hand must be held unto! 1940. The price the beet growers will receive next year will be based in the quota the government fixes. "If the present retail price of over per hundred pounds is maintained until the 1940 quota goes on the market next spring Of course each cent the price.u climbs will add that much more' sr ow rswlU a mce bonus Stanton Lake Still In Doubt WPA Officials To Inspect Wednesday fate of Stanton County lake, near Manter, lies in the balance, awaiting decision of WPA officials, who are to make an inspection next Wednesday. About a month ago a check was made and it was found that 8 percent of the total capacity of the lake to the top of the spillway had washed into the lake in the three years the dam has been under construction. The question now is whether to abandon it, or whether to alter the plans so as to save cost, and get it completed.

County Engineer J. R. Streeter has worked out a new plan whereby the width ot the dam at the tup will be reduced from 30 feet to 20 feet. It will save 10.000 cubic yards of earth on the fill. The engineer estimates there are 80,000 yards yet to to.

the credit there will be no apples in Reno county. The later varieties at the "Jim" Farley orchards are looking the trees being filled, and all those apples need now is a soakinsf rain to help swell them. But the result was the same.

"These, will make some mighty fine apples, if they get the rains, and they 'll surely come," said Stoughton. That particular orchard is his pet.

They're fine apples, and because they will be scarce will probably command a premium price this year. The Grimes Goldens are ripening, also, and crews will start picking them the last ot this week.

The trees are loaded, there being more apples than usual, but they are smaller. Lack of rains and the heat kept them from making the size they usually do. But they're as good as can be otherwise. The Jonathan crop this year Is almost, a complete' failure. There are a few, but most of the orchards, for some reason, did not tin an effective job of spraying last; spring.

Irrigation Best Offense Against Drouth Farms Near Bucklin Flourish With Aid Of Artificial Streams the drought and heat are making crops elsewhere in this territory look hopeless, irrigated crops in Pleasant Valley township, near the Arkansas river, are making that a pleasant valley indeed. The river is almost dry and no irrigating is possible with ditches. But are pumping water from the river, or from the underflow and irrigating crops. At the Roy Schellhamcr place one field of 25 acres of Atlas sorgo is especially attractive, in full head with heavy green stalks and uniform heads.

Schellhamer irrigates by pumping from the river, a pump throwing a six-inch stream. In addition to the sorghum crop the plant is irrigating seven acres of alfalfa. Water Acres At the Neal Bros, farm two mile3 of ditches are irrigating at least 1,10 acres. A pump throws an eight-inch stream, at. about 1,800 gallons per minute.

A Baldwin combine motor does the pumping. Mack Neal estimated the cost of operation was about $2 per day for gasoline and oil. A field ot 33 acres of alfalfa, standing seven inches tall is promising another good cutting. About two weeks ago a seed crop was cut of two bushels to the acre. Another field has 12 acres of Finney maize with large heads, heavy green stalks, and uniform stand that promises 50 to 75 bushels per acre of grain.

One Well Does Work Further down the valley, at the Lou Miller ranch in Edwards county, a 88 acre field ot feed and a 9 acre field of Sudan are being irrigated from one well.
