Kennewick Product is Awarded
Gold Medal at Panama-Pa-
cific Exposition
WON OUT IN OPEN
COMPETITION AT FRISCO
Church Attributes Success to Super
iority of the Columbia River
Valley Grape

The Church Mfg. company, of this
city, last week received advance no.
tice that Church's Grape Juice has
been awarded the gold medal at the
Panama-Paciic Exposition in compe-
tition open to the manufacturers Of
the world. The first prize was won
over the largest and oldest manufac-
turers of grape juice in the country
and the winning assures the local
product leading place in the mar
kets.
Mr.. Church expressed no surprise
at the award. He expected it, as he
had been repeatedly assured by ex-
perts that he has the finest grape
juice that has ever been placed on the
market. Mr.. Church attributes his
success to the perfection of his pro-
cess Of manufacture and to the deli
cate flavor and general superiority of
the Columbia River Valley grape over
those grown in the East and Middle
West. In the manufacture of his pro-
duct he has brought into perfect blend
the juices of the famous old Concord
and the Worden, or new Concord
grape, this blending process being an
entirely new feature in the manufac-
ture Of dark grape juice.
This is the third year on the mar
ket for Church's Grape Juice and up
to this time the local manufacturers
have experienced not little difficulty
in meeting the stubborn competition
of the big fellows whose products have
been firmly established with the trade
or years. Mr.. Church looks upon the
winning of the gold medal as a strong
advertising feature and believes the
success of his new business enterprise
is now assured.

MEN ARE
STUDYING BERRIES
Hanford and White Bluffs Men
Visit Strawberry Patches at
Richland and Kennewick

{ :.
A score or more Of White Bluffs,
Hanford and RichIand farmers are to-
day studying the methods Of straw
berry. culture employed by the most
successful growers in the valley. The
patches Of the Gardner Fruit COM
pany and J. E. Mowrey, Of Richland,
were visited this forenoon and visits
will be made this afternoon to the
Lum and Allison patches down the
valley and the Bunts and Osgood
patches on the Highlands. !
At each stop District Horticultural
Inspector Luke Powell, County Agri-
culturalist Lee M. Lampson, Assistant
Inspector VIM. Meikle and the local
grower explains the methods Of culti-
walton. fertilization and planting that
has brought the best results. The
visiting ranchers are showing marked
interest and keep the instructors busy
answering questions. This is espec-
tally true of the Hanford and White
Bluffs men where in the past straw
berries have not been extensively
grown. Although soil and climatic
conditions for successful berry cul-
ture are ideal the acreage in those
districts has been small because Of
poor transportation facilities, it hav-
ing been impractical to ship the ber-
ries out by boat. The building Of the
Milwaukee has opened up new mar
ket and it is probable that many ac-
res of berries will be set out this fall.
The party took luncheon at the
Commercial Hotel where brief talks
were made by several speakers. Mr..
Nichols and Mr.. Reaugh, of Hanford,
told of some of the interesting facts
they had picked up during the morn
ing trip and E. N. Loveland, Of White
Bluffs, spoke on grape pruning. Mr..
Loveland has one Of the finest vine
yards in the county, his Flame Tokays
having always been prize winners at
the Columbia River Grape Carnival
and the State Fair.
Some of the up-river men will re-
turn home on tomorrow's boat, but
most of them will continue by auto
mobile on up the valley. Tomorrow
they will visit orchards around Pros
ser and Sunnyside. They expect to
visit the famous pear orchard of w.
P. Sawyer in Parker Bottom and will
return home across country from
North Yakima.

.kEnNEW|CK PRODUCTS
INCREASE RAPIDLY
General Range Of Prices is Low
But there is Tone of Opti-
mism, Says Desgranges

The Kennewick District Fruit Grow
ers' association is building q new
warehouse to take care Of its supply
department. "We have entirely out
grown our present quarters" said
Manager H. w. Desgranges, in speak
ing of the new building. "Our busi-
ness is showing a most satisfactory
increase in every line. In strawber-
ries we show a 20 per cent increase;
cherries have tripled and the miscel-
laneous stuff is coming in much larg-
er quantities.
Early potatoes are just beginning
to move but by the end Of the week we
will have shipped as much as we had
handled last season and next week
they will be moving at the rate Of
about three to five cars day. Rich
land has large acreage and bum
per crop. The first 80 cars we will
handle in crates and the balance will
be shipped in sacks unless the trade
insists on crates.
"We have already shipped more
than 500 boxes of early peaches, about
300 boxes of early apples and some
Yakimines and apricots. Early fruits
will be moving in car lots this COM
ing week.
"Our box shocks, paper and nails
are arriving in car lots. From the
number of boxes ordered we will nave
a substantial increase in our peach
tonnage, nearly double in pears and
more than double in apples. Nor are
we the only shippers, and all are do
ing good business. doubt if the
general public realizes the quantity
of products that is going out of Ken
newick. A visit along Front street
in the busy evening might increase
the peoples confidence in the future
of Kennewick.
Market conditions show a firmer
tone than a year ago. While prices
generally range low there is an air
of hopefulness which seems to be
merited. If the peach growers do not
become panicky and dump their crops
at ruinous prices on the market, be-
lieve fair prices will be realized. The
peach sections that come in competi-
tion with us all have short crops. The
Growers Council, if backed by the
individual growers, should have a
wholesome influence to bring about
orderly marketing. If this is done
there is reason to hope for profit in
this years peach CROP"

SEE
THE YAKIMA VALLEY
Members of House Committee on
Appropriations Made Offic-
ial Tour of Inspection

j. j. Rudkin and G. F. Richardson,
representing the Kennewick CONNER
cial club, accompanied Congressman
J. j. Fitzgerald, chairman Of the house
appropriations committee and his col
leagues, members Of the United States
reclamation commission, Yakima re-
clamation officials on trip through
the Yakima Valley Tuesday. The
congressional delegation made the
trip for the purpose Of acquainting
themselves with the needs and possi-
bilities of the Yakima irrigation pro-
ject.
The trip was made by automobile
from North Prosser through the heart
of the orchard districts above and be-
low the Gap, with dinner at Zillah
and reception at the Commercial
club rooms in North Yakima in the
evening. At this time representa-
tives of the different districts were
given an opportunity to present the
claims of their communities for appro-
priations. E. F. Benson spoke for the
Yakima High Line, F. A. Virgins, of
Toppenish, for the Wapato unit, H.
w. Chase and B. E. McGregor, Of
Prosser, for the Horse Heaven pro-
ject, j. r. McKeand, Of Pasco, for the
Palouse project and Mr.. Richardson
for an extension of the Sunnyside
canal to the lands adjacent to Ken
newick. Mr.. Richardson called at
tention to the fact that when the Yak
ina project was first taken up by the
government, the N. p. I. company re-
linquished title to 600 second feet of
water which it had appropriated, with
the understanding that the govern
ment would irrigate The lands for
which this appropriation had been
made. He insisted that the govern
ment was in honor bound to make
good the promises it then made before
any new projects were undertaken.
Although the congressman avoided
any statements which might be con-
strued to put them on record as fav-
oring any Of the several projects, they
were unstinted in their praise of the
Yakima valley. They admitted that
he days trip had been revelation
to them.
Included in the party were: Con-
gressmen Fitzgerald, Of New York;
Swager Shirley, Of Kentucky; Geo.
w. Rauch, of Indiana; Frank w. Mon
dell, of Wyoming; William P. Bor-
land, of Missouri; Byrns, of Tennes-
see; James McAndrews, G.. r. Davis,
of Minnesota; A. P. Davis, director
and chief engineer Of the reclamation
commission; w. A. Ryan, comptroller
of the commission and Judge Will r.
King, chief counsel for the commits
sion.

TALK COW
AND HOG At LUNCH
Railroad Agriculturalists and
State College Professor Speak
to Local Business Men

More corn, more cows, more hogs
and more money was the doctrine
propounded to the business men at
the regular weekly Commercial club
luncheon yesterday by C. L. Smith,
agriculturalist for the O-W. r. & N.
company, Prof. J. A. Tormey, head of
the extension work at the State Col
lege and L. S. Smith, assistant ag-
riculturalist for the O-W. These men
are making their annual tour over
the O-W. lines in the interests of di-
versifed farming. In company with
H. H. Bowers, of the local creamery
company, they spent the afternoon in
calling on the dairymen of Richland
and in the evening gave illustrated
lectures at the Kennewick Valley club
house.
In speaking at the luncheon Farm
er" Smith called the business mems
attention to the fact that their pros
perity and their success depended up
on the success of the farmer. He
reviewed the rapid rise to popularity
in the northwest of corn, cows and
hogs, saying that only few years
ago the orchardists and land owners
of the Yakima valley ridiculed the
suggestion that they should give some
attention to these crops.
The speaker also recalled the hog
stampede which followed the out
break of the European war and the
soaring of wheat prices. He said the
farmer who disposed of his breeding
stock last fall at slaughter prices,
through fear of high priced feed, had
already realized his mistake.
Prof. Tormey spoke briefly of the
work the U. S. department of agri-
culture is doing through its extension
service and advised the business men
to encourage the farmers to make
use of this service. He complimented
Benton county upon being one of the
first counties of the state to employ
a county agriculturalist and praised
the work of Lee M. Lampson. The
time has passed, he said, when great
forests, or fertile plains or other nat
ural resources were looked upon as
the country's greatest asset. Any
community's chief asset, he said, is
efficient men to develop and harness
natural resources Because one
man makes a failure of any particular
line Of horticulture or agriculture is
no proof that the crop he attempted
to grow cannot be successfully grown.
Failures are being recorded every
year," said Prof. Tormey, ''but inves-
tigation invariably shows that these
failures are due to wrong methods.
We expect and know that wrong
methods will always fail and the work
in which we are engaged is the teach
ing of right methods"
L. S. Smith spoke only briefly of
the many benefits of inducing the
farmers to follow scientific methods
of diversified farming.
The party was met at Alfalfa by
Travelling Freight and Passenger
Agent C. F. Van de Water, who ar
ranged their itinerary through the
Yakima valley.
