STUDY GROWING
OF GRASS HERE
Walla Walla Men Come Over
to See how Kennewick
Grows Asparagus

Manager C. B. Auker and fifteen
members of the Walla Walla Gardners
association spent Monday in Kenne-
wick gathering first hand information
regarding the asparagus industry
here. They inspected the plant of the
Kennewick Supply & Storgae company
where the 3-Rivers Growers handle
their grass and visited number Of
the larger patches near Kennewick.
Mr.. Auker was loud in his praise
of the manner in which the crop is
grown and marketed here. "Walla
Walla had a monopoly on the early
vegetable business before Kennewick
was on the map, and a lot of fellows
haven't yet awakened to the fact that
Kennewick has stepped into the lead
in the growing Of asparagus" said
Mr.. Auker.
He is endeavoring to induce his as
sociation to install cold storage
plant.

HARVEST HERE
First Crates go to Market
Two Weeks Ahead of
Last Year

Strawberries are ripe. Not since
the old days when the strawberry was
the leading crop, has this fact been
IF greater significance to the people
OF this district. Not in years has there
been so large an acreage in bearing
or SO good prospects for bumper
crop. With few exceptions the patches
are in excellent condition, the early
blossoms were untouched by frost, the
marketing situation is we'll in hand,
and everything points to q most l,-os-
porous season for the berry growers.
The first cate was sent to market
Monday, fully two weeks caller than
last year. One Of the first growers to
pick full crate Of Clark's Seedlings
was C. A. lehman, who is farming the
16 acres of c. v. Pavey on the High
lands. Mr.. Lehman sent the crate to
the Sorrento Hotel in Seattle and re-
ceived $15 for it, one Of the highest
prices ever paid for Kennewick ber-
ries.
The 3-Rivers Growers yesterday
shipped Is crates and Expected to
have rs today sss Arst crates sold
for $6. Most Of the growers win start
picking Monday and BY the end Of the
week the market will begin to adjust
itself to quantity production.
Manager Lampson warns growers
not to become panicky regarding help.
He is of the opinion that, there will be
plenty of workers to care for the crop
and is advising all members Of his
association to stick to the picking and
packing prices agreed upon. II, as
the season advances, shortage Of la
Dor develops, the situation can best
be handled by cooperation among the
growers rather than by competitive
bidding for labor.
For the first time IN several years
the Yakima Valley Fruitgrowers u.s.
sociation is marketing the berries Of
some Of its members, but the bulk Of
the crop will be marketed thru the
3-Rivers Growers association.

SUNDAY Is
MOTHERS DAY
Special Services to be Given
in Several Of Local
Churches


May 13 will mark the 18th an
nual observance Of Mothers Day, set
aside for the especial. expressions Of
love, kindness and obedience to all
mothers thruout the land. Each year
this custom is gradually becoming
more and more popular, and this year
"She" viii be honored by the greatest
number Of people that have ever OBJ
served the day.
When the custom first began, the
simple wearing Of white carnations
was in vogue, but it gradually grew
greater and as florists waged cam
paign against the wearing Of carna-
tions owing to the exhorbitant prices
charged for them, other flowers, -
well as carnations came into use. In
case a mother is deceased, q white
flower is worn and If the mother is
living flower Of some other color,
no especial one, should be used.
Mothers Day" does not mean that
this is the only day on which one
should pay tribute to . mother, was
what business man Of the city said
yesterday. tThere are 1856 days in the
year and each day should be Moth
er's Day with q day such rs this for
special remembrance"
In Kennewick the day will be OBJ
served in most Of the churches with
special Mothers Day sermons and
services.

AAS 4oA SCSt SAVp Va 4AoiS CsSA AeSA :
vested in the Kennewick Valley" is
the prediction Of H., w. Desgranges,
manager Of the Big Y. "From grass to
Winesap apples there is every indi-
cation of heavy yield, and market
ing conditions are favorable. The day
Of gloom is rapidly disappearing. I
have just completed the inspection of
some 125 orchards. Grass has proven
q heavy cut and prices are good. The
strawberries, which have escaped any
damage from frosts, give promise of
the old time yields and high quality.
Cherries will prove a surprise to the
natives Apricots, peaches, plums, and
penns trees are all loaded. Pear grow
ers viii spend moro money thinning
than the crops have been worth in re-
cent years. Apples, with the excep-
tion of Delicious, will give heavy
yield. / am not giving out figures, but
my investigation has convinced me
that l have about all the acreage of
apples signed that am going to be
able to take care of thru our big
plant and our cold storage plant will
be none too large to take care Of
the soft fruit crop. All Of the facil-
tiles Of the community will be taxed
to the limit to take care of this crop
without loss. It's pleasant sensa-
ton to anticipate the work that is in
sight"
