MAY GROW
SEEDS HERE
Seed Dealer Believes there is
Possibility Of Building
New Industry

Omar w. Rich informs the Courier
Reporter that he is negotiating for
several new industries to come to
Kennewick. Mr.. Rich advocates that
Kennewick has some advantages over
every other community in the north
west. Ones is earliness Of spring
crops that can be harvested and mon
ey put in bank before other places
can put on the market Of such crops as
asparagus, Strawberries, early spuds,
apricots, cherries, peaches, etc, and
the prices are always satisfactory.
G. L. Crookham, q Wholesale deal
er Of all kinds Of seeds viii contract
with number Of Kennewick ranchers
to grow pop corn, Kentucky Wonder
beans, California Bayo beans. Hend-
erson Bush and Lima beans, some
field corn and some radish seed.
Mr.. Rich wishes to- aet In touch
with ranchers, Who hese the proper
soil and want to contract to grow
seeds under the direction Of Mr..
Crookham for cash. -
Nearly all our soil, shallow or deep
if well fertilized, will grove good
crops Of beans, and radishes. It
takes the best soil, after alfalfa, to
produce the highest grade Of corn.
In one valley in southern Idaho
there are millions Of dollars worth Of
seeds grown and shipped to all parts
of the United States.
Mr.. Crookham told Mr.. Rich that
he saw some Of the best radish seeds
in Kennewick that he had seen in the
United States. This section may be
able to profitably grow millions Of
dollars worth Of radish seeds as well
as other seeds.
Another industry Mr.. Rich is me-
gotiating with to come to Kennewick
is not in shape yet to publish its
plans. It will cost an expenditure OF
one hundred thousand dollars the first
two years.
"These hard times may drive Ken
newick to great permanent prosper
ity by developing its greatest natur-
al resources and using its natural
center Of the Pacific Northwest, I"
says Mr.. Rich.
