If both the Kennewick highline
irrigation project and the Yakima

animously to urge DR.. Mead to
announce officially the result OK

obtained on the two projects and
to approve their construction If
feasible.
In case sufficient money cannot
be obtained in one appropriation to
start the development Of both un-
its, it will be up to the chamber

RANCH PAYS
BIG RETURNS
Valley Rancher keeps 1000
Hens - Cherries Just,
About to Bear

We wish that some of the peo-
pie in this vicinity who think that
farming does not pay and that all
farmers are going broke would
call on Geo. Anderson.
Mr.. Anderson has a ten acre
tract east of Kennewick, part of
which is in orchard and the rest
open ground. He puts in all Of his
time on his place and has built II
up to a high state of productive
ness. He keeps 1000 chickens and
is now selling IL to 12 cases of
eggs per week. He says his net re-
turns on his chickens vary good
deal but have never been less than
a dollar per bird per year, none
over two, and that probably $1.5O
would be an average.
In addition to what he made
from his chickens this year he sold
1920 boxes of asparagus for $701..
%; one and three-fourths acres OF
early potatoes yielded over 13 tons
and brought $776.13 and half an
acre of lettuce brought $3.50. He
also has an acre and a half OF
eight year old cherry trees that
from now on, are going to bring
in lot Of money.
If people who are not getting the
returns they think they should get
out of their places would get out
more often and talk with men like
Mr.. Anderson or others who are
making a success out of their
farms, and there are lots of men
that are. they would not only be
much encouraged to try harder
but would probably pick up a lot
of valuable information.
One can find lot of men farm
ing here that are doing well if
they only take the trouble to look
them up.

YOUTH HURT
IN CAR WRECK
Four Accidents Mar Hol.
iday Week-One Car
Over River Bank

Young Lawrence Scott was pain
fully injured, and perhaps serious
ly, in a wreck this evening. He
was driving Dodge touring car,
with other youngsters in it, across
the O.-W. tracks when a switch
engine crashed into them. The 9TH
er occupants were not injured SER
iously.
Three other automobile accidents
marred the Christmas week here.
The first one occurred on the high
way couple of miles west of
town, when the Star roadster driv-
en- by Bill Schuster was pushed off
the pavement over the bank by a
Dodge coupe driven by Earl Glenn
|ents of Richland. The Dodge rolled
over into the river, and the occu-
pants of both cars escaped with
scratches.
DIR. l.. G. Spaulding crashed into
the new Chevrolet sedan belonging
to r. R. Wooden. smashing it up
considerabl yon the road near the
slaughterhouse east of town. The
Spaulding car was not badly dam
aged.
John Ferguson collided with a
couple of horses in the fog the
other night. Two of the animals
sat down on his radiator and 9TH
erwise messed up his~ Ford coupe.

WILL HANDLE
OW N STUFF
3-Rivers to Store and
Load Products Instead
of By Contract

The Three Rivers Growers will
handle their own storage, pre-cool.
ing and loading work for the com
ing year, instead of having this
work done by contract as hereto
fore, according to decision ar.
rived at yesterday at the annual
meeting of the stockholders. The
new work will be handled by sep.
arate corporation under the name
of the Three Rivers Service Cor.
poration.
Plans are already under way fol-
the storage and preceding space
which will be leased for the pres
ent. Later, if the corporation prov
es success it is in the minds OF
the directors of the institution to
erect and own their own facilities
for this sort of work.
Another part of the fruit work
which has never been engaged in
by the Three Rivers association il
that of handling growers supplies.
This branch of the business will be
handled by the new corporation in
limited manner only this year.
The corporation will procure for
the grower member such materials
as he may require, but only upon a
definite order of such. Later, pos
sibly, the corporation may handle
and stock growers supplies.
The management of the new cor
poration will be in the hands of
the directors of the parent COM
pany. The same board of directors
will serve for both the Three Riv-
ers Growers association. strictly a
marketing unit. and also for the
Three7 7Rivers Service corporation.
Mr.. Lampson has been retained
as manager, and he returned from
his trip to the East shortly be-
fore Christmas. He will remain
here to look after the growers in
terests from now until late in the
summer, according to information
he left this paper this morning.
On his trip thru the marketing CEN
ters of the East he stated that he
found conditions much the same
as he found them last year. That
is, near the industrial centers pros
perity was much in evidence, but
in the farming communities, within
fifty miles, even. of the centers,
conditions were not so good. How
ever. he thought that he would
have no trouble this year in dis
posing of proftably, such crops as
his company handles.
