= cars of berries have been shipped
this season. The price in the be-
ginning of the season was very high
and has remained good to date; av-
eraeing in the neighborhood of So
ner crate. When it is considered
that berries can be profitably
cultivated and sold for s1.5O
ner crate this is big thing for the
grower even tho the crop is short.
The BERRY crop this year will bring
in about $4,000.
May A, 1906 VIM. Pastorius this
morning brought in the first crate
of berries for shipment and received
the check for S25 offered by the Col
umbia Commission company.
MAY 18-The number of crates of
BERRIES delivered for shipment the
first of this week has materially de-
creased on account of the cold wea-
Their and also the high wind of Tues
day. Many are ripening today and
the volume will be back to normal
tomorrow. The local price ranges
from $3.50 to 1918 per crate and
the market is strong today.
June Is, (From Wednesday Daily
1000 crates of berries from the
berry patches of Kennewick for the
spring of 1906. A trifle over 1900
crates were handled by the Fruit
Growers Association while the indi-
vidual shippers sent out over 1000.
Helena, Montana afforded the best
market. The average price to the
grower is $2.95. On this basis the
crop brought to the valley $4,000.
This total crop was about half as
estimated by the best informed be-
fore the storm of March 10th and
the frost of April 81.

for an abundant fruit crop in all
varieties ever seen in Kennewick were
sadly damaged by the frost last Sat

sive canvass of the strawberry fields
and reports that there will be from
33 to 40 per cent of crop.
May 1.-THE first crate of straw
berries, made up of 16 boxes picked
between here and Finley and boxes
from the P. E. Mors place just above
town was shipped to Spokane Wednes-
day, May 8. The first berries were
shipped out last year on May 5.
May 24-Old residents of the Yaki-
ma Valley, who have been here since
the frost this spring are of the opin-
ion that as our valley gets older-in
cultivation and the vegetation in
creases in quantity the danger of
frost damage will greatly decrease.
May 31-J. F. Perry reports the
biggest yield of Strawberries per acre
according to the size of the patch we
know of. From less than 11s acres
he picked 1919 crates of fine berries
Tuesday.

1t is interesting to both farmer

Business Outlook

The business outlook is good, ac-
cording to Jesse L. Livermora,
known in Wall Street as the lars-
est individual stock market opera
tor. Livermore says:
During the past few years the
people of our country have be-
come accustomed to living on
higher standard than heretofore
and they are not going to be sat
isfied to live any other way in the
future. The money they spend
must necessarily mean larger
purchasing power, and that pur-
chasing power is bound to keep
business going at good volume"
Livermore is right. Thrift-the
savings INSTINCTS a fine thing.
But spending makes prosperity. Foo
instance, people have become ac-
customed to buying autos. This
buying makes jobs for the army
of people engaged in manufacture
ing the cars.
In turn, these car makers spend
the money they receive thus keep
ing busy the employees in other in
dustries. The more we spend for
legitimate purposes of production,
the more jobs there are-and
the more prosperity to be divided
among all Of us.
Common sense, Of course, shows
US that when a man makes more and
spends more, he also should save
more.
We can't have Injuries and nee
essities unless we create them. It's
plain that we have to produce more
if we want to have more. Larg 9r
production is the price of higher
standard of living And the stan
dard Of living is flexible--it moves
up or down, accordingly as we pro-
duce more commodities or not.
Humanity can't consume more
than it produces. The ravens don't
bring mama in our generation.

LET'S CHANGE THIS.

We are heartily in accord with
the following from the Lagrange
Graphic, which says: THE South,
the richest Industrial part of the
world, too long has been content
to produce her raw materials and
ship them into other parts of the
country to be manufactured Or
developed. By manufacturing
these materials at the source of
origin, we not only receive the
manifold increase in the selling
price of the manufactured prod
uct over the raw material, but
have all the wages Of labor.

RETAIN YOUR CLOTHING

The man who keeps his shirt on
Is the fellow who is wise,
He'll get long for certain
Better than hasty guys.
When there's any trouble brewing
He'll be safer than the wight
Who gets red of eye and stewing.
And who's spelling for a fight.
The man who keeps his shirt on
May, at seasons, have to scrap,
There are things you can't avert on
Some occasions; but the chap
Who, though angry keeps his bal
ance
And is calm throughout the fray
Can use all his fighting talents
In the most effective way. g
And in ordinary cases
And the steady run of life,
He who keeps his temper faces
Very little storm or strife;
And | venture to assert on
Most occasions which / note,
That the man who keeps his shirt on
Seldom has to shed his coat!
