he continued.
Manager Robert Mackie of the
Columbia Valley Creamery, stated
that the principal trouble with the
dairying industry in this section is
not matter of numbers of cows,
but in the quality Of those which
were here. He said that there
would be no particular difficulty in
arranging for the financing of a
bunch of cows. The trouble lies in
the difficulty in finding the cows.
Farmers who own real paying
animals ard not desirous of sell

Mark Flower Garden Nat
Kimpel Place

The home of Miss Louise Kimple
on the river road about three miles
west of town for the past three
weeks has been the most beautiful
of any in the Kennewick valley.
Miss Kinple raises flowers, not
one kind or a dozen, but countless
varieties. They have flooded her
garden, blown into neighboring
fields, grown along the highway,
In fact everywhere. However, de-
spite their promiscuity the place
is singularly attractive. 1t is a
perfect maze of color.
Poppies predominant. There are
four different kinds of poppies,
so the owner says. Giant crimson
poppies, some that are pink and of
mixed colors. The flowers, tho not
SO noticeable from the road, add
materially to the splendor of the
garden. Sweet Williams. pansies,
roses; there are enough flowers
that even if we knew their names,
which we don't, lack of space
would prohibit mentioning them.

BOY KILLED
IN RUNAWAY
Five Year Old Falls Un.
der Hoofs- Skull is
Fractured

John Ingerham, aged five, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Ingerham of
Richland, was fatally injured late
Friday afternoon, June 8, when
the horses he and a neighbor lad
were driving ran away. The small
boy was thrown forward from the
cart in which he was riding and
his skull crushed by blow from
~ animals heels. Bobby Ander-
son, his companion who is slightly
older, was also thrown from the
cart, but escaped without serious
injury.
The unfortunate accident oc-
Cured about 5:3O pm. Friday af-
ternoon. The two boys were ac.
customed to playing with the horse
and cart and their parents did not
consider them to be in any danger
They were driving along one of the
lanes close to their homes wher
some unknown occurrance startled
the horse and caused it to run
John was jerked forward over the
low dashboard of the cart, kicked
on: the head and died almost In
stantly. The other boy was also
thrown from the cart, but he ha6
the good fortune to fall backwards
and thereby escaped unhurt.
Funeral services were held al

lors Monday afternoon and the
little body inferred in its final
resting place in Riverpiew Heights
cemetery. The green trees, in
whose cool shade the new mound
rises, seemed to bespeak their un-
derstanding and watchfulness, but

all human ills, flowed on in the
distance.

BERRY CROP
NOT so BAD
Will Ship Nearly as Many
as Last Year - Price
Still Good

Despite a most peculiar spring,
the strawberry season is turning
out much better than has been ex-
pected since the big freeze in APP
ril. The prices, too, perhaps be-
cause of the weather, have re-
manned at a fairly high figure, they
still selling at three and half
to four dollars a crate, according
to Lee Lampson, manager of the
Three Rivers Growers.
Mr.. Lampson says that his con-
cern will ship at least ten thous-
and crates this year, as compared
with thirteen last year. They have
already received better than 5000
crates and he expectes to ship one
or two more straight cars this
coming week. Three straight cars
have been shipped this past week,
one on Sunday, one on Tuesday
and another today. These ship
ments were made to Montana and
western Canada points. AN at
tractive price was offered from
Denver this week, but the berries
were too ripe to ship to that point,
according to Mr.. Lampson.
The big surprise of the shipping
season SO far, according to Mr..
Lampson, is the way the grass
prices have recovered. For nearly
three weeks the price of the grass
has been too low to justify cutting
and many of the growers have let
their patches go to seed. However,
on Friday of last week the Three
Rivers shipped car to Buffalo
at go cents, and sold one yesterday
and another for tomorrow at $1.00
here. These two cars will go to
Pittsbnrg and CleYeland respect
lively.
Early spuds will begin to show
up about the middle of next week.
This is about the same time that
potatoes came on last year when
the season was considered much
earlier. 1t appears that the spuds
were not particularly affected by
the cold weather and a fine crop
| is looked for in this section.
Kennewick's fame as a berry
shipping center has begun to show
results, for Mr.. Lampson has been
engaged to handle the carlot ship
ments of berries from the Spokane
valley this year. His work will
start Immediately. He already has
| the contract for the sale of the
crop of the Yakima Valley Grape
Growers association, which he will
take up as soon as the pressing
work is over here.
