EARLY CROP GROWERS
URGED TO ORGANIZE
Bruce Lampson Says Opportun-
ity is Here for Making Success
of Cooperative Marketing
(Bruce Lampson)

The Kennewick, Richland, Finley
and Pasco district has the greatest
future Of any place in the northwest
for the development of agriculture in
the line of early products. The soil is
equal to any and the climate and long
growing season are equal to any place
in the northwest.
The only other sources Of straw
berry supply are those in Hood River
and California. The bulk of the Cal
ifornia supply has already reached the
market before our berries have come
onto the market, and the bulk of our
supply is gone before the Hood River
berries are ready for the market. The
quality of the later end Of the Cal
ifornia pick affords little competition
for the quality of the berries produced
here. The Hood River berries are
later so that we have a very distinct
advantage as to quality and time of
marketing.
Practically the same condition ex-
lists in regard to asparagus. We have
a very ristinct advantage as to the
earliness and quality of this product.
The earliness and quantity and quality
of growing products in this district
are beyond question.
There is also great opportunities
for the production Of tomatoes. The
quality and quantity and time of pro-
duction of these commodities are un-
surpassed by any place in the north
west.
Therefore the bulk of our products
should be in these commodities in
stead Of other crops that other parts
Of the state can produce as well as we
can. Why is it that the bulk of our
crops are not in these commodities
which have such distinct advantage?
There is only one answer, and that is
distribution. The later crops are less
perishable and more easily distributed.
In other words the farmers of this dis
trict are being benefited only to a
limited extent by the natural and dis
tinct advantage of this district.
With sufficient and adequate
source of distribution Of these early
commodities, this country can develop
its natural resources and in no other
way is such development possible.
The raisin-grape industry in the
Fresno district of California has had
experience by which we should profit,
That district is particularly adapted
to the production of raisin-grapes and
up to 1912 the growers produced an
average of $4,000 tons per season and

COMMERCIAL
CLUB PLANS
BUSY YEAR
Governing Board Outlines Plans
for Making Work of Organ
ization More Effective
CARL c. WILLIAMS RESIGNS
President Says Farmer Organizations
Have First Claims-L. E.
Johnson is Elected

At meeting to be held in the near
future members of the Kennewick
Commercial Club will be asked to
adopt changes in the constitution
and bylaws which will mean virtual
ly reorganization of the club.
The plan as outlined at joint
meeting Of the new and old govern
ing boards provides for carrying on
the activities of the club through bu-
reaus or departments. The number
of these bureaus has tentatively been
fixed at eleven as follows: Irrigation,
land settlement, agriculture, markets,
rodards and tourists, transportation
and industrial development, trade re-
lations, city betterments, publicity,
entertainment, finance, membership.
Heads of these departments are to
be elected annually by the club and
the chairmen so elected are to consti-
tutc the governing board. The plan
|contemplates that men will be chosen
to head these bureaus who will speci-
alize year after year in those matters
which come under their respective de-
partments.
In the opinion Of active members Of
the club the year 1922 promises to be
a busy one for the club and the COM
munity, and in order that the clubs
work may be more effective defi-
mite program for the years activities
is now being worked out and will be
submitted along with the reorgani-
zation plan.
At meeting of the governing
board Monday evening the resignation
of Carl C. Williams as president was
accepted and L. z. johnson was NAM
ed as his successor. Mr.. Williams
asked to be relieved Of the presidency
in view of his recent election as Mas
ter Of Pomona Grange and vice-presi-
dent of the Farm Bureau. Mr.. Will
liams felt that he could not do justice
to all three positions and that the
farmer organizations had first claim
upon his services.
Although Mr.. Williams has declined
the presidency he will continue to be
an active worker in the club. He will
be recommended by his colleagues on
the board as chairman Of the Agri-
culture and Markets bureau, which
position he has agreed to accept.
