DANE ARTHUR IN "BROTHERLY LOVE REDEEMS CERTIFICATES; PAYS INTEREST ON STOCKS; SECOND REDEMPTION OF YEAR Stockholders of the Yakima Dairy- mens Association, are receiving notices this week of the second redemption of certificates of indebt- edness for the year, which will act as, a reminder of the fact that the association is making substantial progress. The face value of the certificates will be $7X00 and the holders wiU have in addition the accrued interest from the first of tiie year reckoned at 7 per cent. On January 1 a similar retirement of indebtedness was made. The eer- tificates are payable on and after July 1, the interest ceasing on that data. They may be cashed at the Yakima National Bank, of Yakima, or at any bank in Yakima or Beaton counties by surrender of the certifi cates properly assigned.

In addition to this redemption of certificates stockholders will receive checks on and after JulylO in payment of 7 per cent interest an stock and reserve certificates. The association has outstanding $40X06 stock and $85X00 in reserve certificates. The annual interest on this capitalisation will be $5256 which will be paid in addition to the 7500 in certificates -retired plus the interest for the last six months Business for the first half of the year has been exceptionally good. Manager L. E.

Perry reported in comment on the situation. The asso- elation has enjoyed a good increase of business for the period and prices during the flush season held up better this year than last. The present price of 45 cents a pound is cents higher than the ruling prices of a year ago. A general observation of the trend of affairs in the dairy industry in the Northwest is that there is marked increase in the demand for whole milk due to the increase of population in the large cities of the coast. Production of butter in the three coast stages, Washington, Ore-gon, and California, showed- aconaid--erable shrinkage for the first five -months of 1929, according to' the government report of the department -of agriculture.

NORTON TALKS ON LAW OBSERVANCE At the regular meeting of Grandview Rotary last Tuesday noon, Frank Norton, who had charge of the program, talked on the law enforcement problems that confront America today. The speaker stated it was his belief that we were trying to do too much by law. Certain things were best accomplished by education, and perhaps the instilling of the principles of law observance tato-the mind of the youth at school was more of a problem than the problem of In the absence of Fred Marshall, president of the club, George Haskins, vice-president, presided. June Drop Heivy In some Sections GRANDVIEW DISTRICT LIGHTLY HIT; OTHER DISTRICTS SUFFER SEVERELY. GRANDVIEW GROWER RECEIVES $246 FOR 85-LB.

BOX YELLOW TRANSPARENT. Yellow Transparent, the first -early ipplei to move from the lower valley, brought Emil Roberta a fancy price the first of the week when lie add his entire crop at $2X0 a box for 85-lb. boxes, face and fill pack. Transpa rents nasally sell for good money, but this price is unusual. Jonathan prices are being talked pome according to reports, but it seems growers and shippers are lightly apart as to price.

Shippers reported to be offering $1-75, -while growers are holding for $2.00. Most of the pears in the Grand, -view district, have been sold to the manners. Elsewhere in the valley Banners are said to be still in the field offering $80.00. CONDITIONS EAST ARE GOOD C. H.

Eccleston, who returned the latter part of last week from a business trip that took him to Omaha and City, reports that crop conditions along the entire way were fairly good. In Kansas some hail, vain and flood conditions have hurt some crops in certain sections. On the whole, Mr. Eccleston says, conditions are fairly good. All the businessmen are optimistic and are looking forward to a good fall and winter business.

says Mr. Eccleston, "did I find conditions any better than they are in the Yakima valley, and I am glad to get back We should begin to realise that we have a lot more here than they have in many places, and spend more of our boosting instead of knocking. Other communities with not half the advantages we have are making their towns attractive in every way possible and getting together on well-defined programs that attract business. We can do the same and much more than we now are. doing.

-PIONEER ASSOCIATION MEET The Grandview Pioneer Association meets -Thursday, July 18, in the City -Lunch at 12:30, followed by program and sports.

H. STUCKRATH, Pres. Potato Skipaents Fall Tins Week CHERRY LOADINGS DECLINE; WEEKS TOTAL MOVEMENT IS 181 CARS r-w--v-v- Shipment of fruits and vegetables from the Yakima district this, week declined again, due to heavy drop in potato loadings and slight slack-. ening in the cherry deal. This weeks shipment of 181 cars brought the seasons grand total to 88X54 cars, with practically all of last years crop moved, a report from the Yakima Valley Traffic Credit association shows.

Cherries Hold Atteation Shippers have been chiefly interested in the cherry deal this week, so far as actual shipments go. At 92 cars that crop formed the bulk of forwardings. Lower valley cherries have all been picked and large blocks above the gap harvested. Old potatoes are almost cleaned out. Judging from the way loadings slumped this week.

All old stocks moving have been held cold storage. Steady headway is seen in the new crop harvest which is slowly creeping up the valley from its Inception at Kennewick and Pasco All Crops Lata Every crop harvested shows evidence of this lateness. 1 'While the new apple crop is still growing, six cars were shipped ip the corresponding week last year. Another week is expected to pass before any activity in the new stock is felt. Only seven can of old apples moved this week and -they were fiwwng the last dosen cars held here, it is thought Loadings have already gone 81 cats of what previous storage reports indicated.

One car of mixed fruit rolled to market this week and three cars of rutabagas, classed as vegetables, left the valley. The apricot deal will get under way with some force next week in the lower valley. Mrs. Paul Thiele and two children, who have been visiting here for ten days at the J.

M. Morris of the State College department of horticulture. "This condition for a time seriously threatened the crop, and in many orchards has grown far beyond what the growers expedtedl he says. "The June drop, so-called, has been unusually heavy in many sectional There is little reason, however, to assume' that is has been caused by any condition of the tree, abnormal disease, or that the soil is in any to blame for the drop.
