Sunday morning about 1880 the
house on the Bemis ranch at Black
Rock burned to the ground, nothing OF

Wild West Dance Saturday
at Raynesford Big Success

Although the dance in Raynesforc
was given on the 18th of October, il
turned out to be huge success. From
the beginning Of the evening until the
small hours of the morning, the dance
hall was filled with well-behaved peo.
pie who seemed to be enjoying them
selves.
Supper was served throughout the
evening and the tables in the domestic
science room were always filled with
hungry people.
A large banner bearing the words,
"The Days of 40" was stretched
across the stage and some people evi-
IDENTIFY knew how they dressed those
days. One feature of the evening was
the prize waltz in which there was
some competition. The prize was car
ried off by Mr.. Joe Vaskey and Mrs.
John Konesky.
The wedding which was announced,
created much curiosity as to whom the
happy couple would be. Much to ev-
eryone's surprise Mrs. Clarence Wat
son and Sheriff Kelly were made hus-
band and wife by JudgeEckenbek.
Sheriff Kelly delivered short, but
sweet, speech after the ceremony. Al
though this was only mock wedding,
it added to the excitement of the eve
ming.
Belt and Geyser as well as many
other nearby towns, were well repre-
sented all receiving a cordial welcome.
The floor manager, Bill Teimeier,
did everything in his power to make
the evening enjoyable by being right
on deck to introduce strangers.
Anyone who went to the dance with
the blues surely left with cheerful
outlook on life after listening to the
poppy Raynesford orchestra. The
proceeds will be given TO the school

is left absolutely free to devote all ms
time and all of his energies to the
business of selling and Tightening the
control over the crops.
In brief the 3-Rivers association is
doing what too many of the ultra-co-
operatives are unwilling to do; 1t Is
paving for a service for which it is
neither equipped nor can afford to
perform for itself.
To be sure the association is up
against the question of what to DO
with its manager after the marketing
season is over, but it can afford to
pay him his salary to do nothing ra-
Their than buy him building or take
on tree fruit for him to handle.

that is bound to bring the money o.

that is bound to bring the money OF
any market.
The significance Of these figures is
that with asparagus Kennewick has
succeeded in putting out a standard,
lied product. Standardization means
more than putting certain kind OF
product into certain kind of crate
Standardization applies as much to
price as to the quality of product 0,
the style of container.
Kennewick asparagus is superior
product. 1t is better than California
or Walla Walla or Puget Sound grass.
The people of Seattle know this and
are willing to pay more for it, but the
only reason they are paying the large
spread in price is because the Kenne-
wick growers collectively have re-
served unto themselves the right to
say, within the reasonable confines of
supply and demand, what the price
shall be. They have done with as
paragus what they have been unable
to do with any other crop, they have
held their control over it practically
air tight.
For this reason and because this
district is especially adapted to its
production, the Courier-R Reporter says
let's have more asparagus.
The market for Kennewick grass
has hardly been scratched. Last year
for the first time Minneapolis bought
a carload-wanted more and couldn't
get it. This year Minneapolis bought
a carload at price, half more than
it was paying for California grass and
wired back for another carload to be
shipped at once. What has been done
in Minneapolis can be done in prac-
tically every city Of the Middle West
as soon as the people Of those cities
have had an opportunity to sample
the Kennewick product. Everything
indicates that Kennewick today could
be marketing ten times the present
tonnage with no serious impairment
Of the price.
From the standpoint Of production
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1923-04-26

asparagus has many commendable fea-
tures. To produce it the farmer has
to battle neither the elements nor the
nests. 1t is a crop the growing Of
which entails no big outlay of money
and calls for little or no outside la
Dor. 1t isn't easy money-no money
on the farm is that-but it is reason
ably sure money and this district will
undoubtedly be better off when more
of its eggs are in the grass basket.

ASPARAGUS

CALIFORNIA white, ten cents per
- pound; California long green ID
cents per pound; Walla Walla and To-
cal Is to 20 cents per pound; Kenne-
wick 20 cents per pound.
There is a reason for the above
quotations from a Seattle market re-
port. The people of Seattle are not
paying from to Is cents more for
Kennewick asparagus because they
love the Kennewick people. The rea-
son is that Kennewick asparagus is a
superior product, honestly packed, and
efficiently marketed-a combination
