COLD SNAP
HANGS ON
Only Once since Dec. s
has Mercury Risen above
Freezing

The mercury in the government
thermometer. departed from the
zero path last Monday but not
until it had made new low record
on the two proceeding days when
it dropped to IA below. Although
a chinook has been freely predict
ed for the last two weeks by
weather prophets it has not yet
materialized. Rising temperature
and a chinook was reported from
Walla Walla two days ago but it
evidently blew itself out before it
reached this valley.
Aside from making deep in
roads on the family coal bin and
the bunkers Of the dealers, burst
ing few water pipes and render
ing automobile travel uncomfort-
able the cold weather has done no
material damage. While the mini
mum of Ia degrees below zero is
getting dangerously near injury
point to soft fruit buds orchardists
are of the opinion that next years
crop has not suffered any dam
age yet.
Luckily for the wheat ranchers
the ground was well blanketed
with snow in advance Of the low
temperatures and weather condi-
tions have been ideal for. making
winter wheat.
Only once since December 8 has
the mercury rizen above the freez-
ing point and that was on the
tenth when q maximum of 80 de-
grees was recorded. The tenn
perature readings for the week

HAY PRICE
GOES HIGHER
IF Severe Weather Con-
tinues Stockmen May
Face Crisis

L. A. Hunt, Of the Oregon Co.
Operative Hay Growers has issued
the following statement regarding
the hay situation:
The heavy losses suffered by hay
growers during the last two years
have caused many to plow up large
areas of their fields and q large
number Of others to turn to dairy
ing in an endeavor to provide .
safer marketing for their product.
The result is a very heavy shrink
age IN the hay production avail
able for export.
During the last few months the
greater part Of the hay has been
bought by feeders and dealers, and
at the present time only . COM
paratively small amount is in the
hands Of the grower. The very
short crop Of hay, combined with
the early winter in western Ore
gon and Washington, is creating
an usually heavy demand from
this section.
The result is that prices are
jumping in = manner that win
certainly compel stock men to turn
to corn or some other substitute
for hay. It is clear to anyone
familiar with the general situation
that there is not sufficient hay to
take care Of the demand, and other
forage must be substituted.
Hay is now selling at $50 per
ton I. 0. b. cars in nearly I'll Ore
gon hay production districts, with
little available supply. Prices in
the Yakima valley are rapidly ap-
preaching this figure, and e the
present severe weather should
continue, it is likely to work some
hardships upon livestock owners.
The only apparent solution Is the
substitution Of other feeds.

DAY NAMED
COUNCILMAN
Grange Store Manager
Chosen to Succeed
WinkenWerder

At the regular meeting Of the
city council Tuesday night the
resignation Of C. F. Winkenwerder
as councilman from the third ward
was accepted and C. C. Day, man.
ager Of the Grange store was
chosen to succeed him. Mr.. Wink
enwerder's resignation will not be-
come effective until after the first
Of the year when the newly elect
ed officersswill take their oaths Of
office.
Mr.. Winkenwerder has accepted
position as travelling salesman
for q brush manufacturing COM
pany and although he continues to
make his home in Kennewick It
win be impossible for him to dis
charge the duties Of councilman.
The council devoted considerable
time to . discussion Of the volun-
teer fire department. It was the
unanimous sentiment Of the coun-
Gil that Kennewick has an excep-
tionally efficient fire department
and the individual members are
entitled to great deal Of credit
for the interest they show in the
organization. There is = feeling
however that there should be .
little closer relationship between
the department and the council.
Looking to this end Ed. Tweet was
named chairman Of the fire COM
mittee. to succeed Mr.. Winkenwer-
der and instructed to confer with
Chief E. A. Ferrell and other Of
ficials Of the department. The
council requests that set Of rules
and regulations regarding the
activities Of the department be
drafted and submitted to the coun-
ell for approval.

Is Employed to Direct the
Marketing of Early
Crops Next Year
TO USE PLANT
OF SUPPLY CO.
Lampson to make Canvass
for New Association
Members

AT a meeting of the board Of
trustees of Three River Growers
association Monday evening Lee
M. Lampson was engaged as man
ager and a contract was entered
into with the Kennewick Supply
e. Storage company for the use of
their warehouse facilities.
In selecting Mr.. Lampson O.
manager the board carried out the
instructions of the membership as
voiced at the annual meeting when
they voted four to one for the as
sociation to market its own pro-
ducts. The contract with Mr..
Lampson is for the season Of 1928
and he is to be paid upon a per-
centage basis. While Mr.. Lamp
son will at once begin making
marketing connections for next
year his compensation as manager
will not start until March.
just as soon as weather condi-
tions will permit, Mr.. Lampson
will be put in the field on per
day basis to make thorough can
vass of the district in an effort TO
bring into the association addition
al asparagus, strawberry and early
potato acreage.
Members of the official board
are of the opinion that the choice
of Mr.. Lampson will meet the
hearty approval Of aelarge major
ity of the association members. No
man knows local farm conditions
more intimately than he. he
was for years county agent in this
county and it was while engaged
in this work that he became con-
vinced that the marketing problem
is really the farmers biggest pro-
blem. For several years he has
specialized in cooperative market
ing. He was a prominent worker
in the organization of the Wash
ington Wheat Growers association
and spent last winter in Kansas
organizing the wheat growers Of
that state. Recently he declined
the position of manager of the
Montana Wheat Growers associa-
tion because of his property in
terests here. During the past
season he was employed as assist
art manager of Blalocks who
marketed the crops of the Three
Rivers association.
In contracting for place in
which to assemble the crops and
from which to ship them the board
was guided largely by reports of
Col. Weyrauch and Mr.. Lampson
to the effect that the service rend-
cred by the Kennewicl Supply &
Storage company this year had
been highly satisfactory. In this
connection it was pointed out that
the company's- cold storage plant
was designed and equipped es-
Decially for handling the straw,
berry crop. The contract with thi
company is for one year with the
option of two-year renewal at
the annual meeting in 1923.
Under the contract the Supply
g. Storage company is to provide
offices for the sales organization
Of the growers association and to
do all the physical handling Of the
products from the time they are
delivered to the warehouse by the
grower until they are aboard cars.
