Yakima County Considers Home Built Exposition Building
Yakima county officials and Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Expo organizers will seek Thursday to approve a new plan for a Seattle county building. A $10,000 Doric design in sections would be built locally, then assembled at Seattle and later reassembled here or relocated. The plan emphasizes home workmanship and could keep work in Yakima, with local architect Newton Gaunt and Cascade Lumber backing the project.

Wisdom for Orchard Men at Yakima Gathering
Professor Thornber addressed several hundred Yakima orchardists at the YMCA on spring work in orchards. He warned against improper planting, favored Spitzenbergs only under certain conditions, and noted Ben Davis as a possible substitute with later grafts. He advised low headed trees, heroic pruning, shallow planting, cover crops like hairy vetch, and frost protection with heaters and a thermal alarm clock. He reassured no danger of overproduction in Washington and discussed railroad capacity for the anticipated orchard output.
