Five CUTTINGS Of Alfalfa.

l. Smith reports that he completed
cutting and stacking his fifth crop of
alfalfa Tuesday. The fifth cutting
was not quite as heavy as each of the
four previous, but it materially increas.
ed the totalyield and profit. No other
place in the Northwest has growing
season of sufficient length to mature
i've cuttings. Four cuttings is the
highest oven in more favored district.
and most districts are well content with
three cuttings. Placing the yield at 2!
tons each cutting, which is = low esti
mate, the yield for the season would
be l211 tons. The market price fol
loose hay is now S8a ton which wou Id
give a gross return of Sl0O per acre.
It will be seen from the above tina,
there are big profits in hay in the Ken
newick valley where the growing sea.
son Is Of sufficient length to insure 4
and S cuttings. The crop Is sure and
the demand for hay will always be
good.

New ICE PLANT
A sure GO

A letter received from NJ. H
Church of the Creamery Package
Co., large manufacturers of refrig-
Grating machinery, after closing the
deal for the site and asking that the
deed be sent to him, says:
"It looks now as though I will
have the agency for selling and in
stalling refrigerating and all appar-
atus pertaining to that line for the
states of Oregon. Washington, Ida
ho and western Montana, with
headquarters at Kennewick."
The plans for the ice plant build.
ing with cold storage in connection
are all completed and will make a
good sized plant. He concludes
his letter by asking that good
sized dwelling house be rented for
him as soon as possible.
The above seems settle the fact
that another summer will see an
ice making plant in operation in
Kennewick. Such a factory should
do good business from the start.
As stated in our previous article
the site lies north of the track and
east of the Moore warehouse.

Money in Asparagus.

Below we give letter from an ex-
perienced commission merchant on the
prospects and profits in growing aspar-
agus in the Kennewick valley. To
show the advantage our early season
gives us, we must make comparison
Of the prices. Those quoted in the let
ter, it will be noted, are for Walla Wal
Ia product which came into the market
two or three weeks later than ours
Mr.. Delepine received 1915 per box
during the first of the season and his
average price for his product was 50 Is
PER box.

COMMISSION MERCHANTS
Seattle, Wn., Oct. Is, 1906.
Mr. H. Delepine,
kennewick, Wash.
Dear SIR
am very sorry that I was not in a
position to buy the land about which
you wrote me few days ago. 1t is my
opinion that 10 or Is acres in asparagus
1.-The vicinity of Kennewick after it
has been planted or years would be
what would consider proposition to
make mot any one independent.
Should ever decide to buy any land in
eastern Washington know of nothing
that would plant it in except aspara-
gus. For the past 3 or years the 20ib
boxes from Walla Walla have averaged
from 81 % to $l5O per box on this mar
Ret. l understand that it is not hard to
raise as it does not require much culti-
Vating. This, together with the fact
that the older an asparagus patch gets
the better it is, convinces me that it is
about as profitable crop as man cat
raise in eastern Washington, There is
Practically no limit to the amount that
| could be handled on our market as last
year at no time was our market over
stocked, except toward the last when
Hoegan to run to seed, then of course it
Is not so good for table use.
Yours very truly,
MERRITT BLOxOM.
