Rev. F. L. Fraser, has been spending
the past week or so in Kennewick, after
a couple years absence in the Will
annette valley. He is still strong for
this valley and has refused several Of
fers for his place in Section Seven.
1.-The people in this valley have no con-
ception of their real advantages over
other parts Of the country" said Mr..
Fraser. "a farmer can make more
money and make it easier in this valley
than in any other that I've seen.
Berries, down where live, sell for rs
cents to dollar crate. They hardly
believe me when / tell them of the
prices that are received here. The
growing season is so short there that
it's hard job to get any kind of
crop. People in that section have their
eyes all focused on the Kennewick dis
trict and will come here as soon as they
can break loose down there. You peo-
pie up here don't seem to realize your
opportunities. And still you hear,
every now and then, some local man
complaining Of the terribly hard times
he is experiencing. A knowledge of
how to build up and maintain the soil
in this section and then an intelligent
use of it will, in time, make this the
greatest section of the entire state. ~
And everybody that was in range of
the visitors voice gravely nodded their
heads in agreement. But none of them
were farmers.
