WeL'S SDeech.l
The Government is not opposed to the
use of the immigration Fund for the
reimbursement of part of the expenses
incurred by land owners in introducing
agricultural laborers in the island of
st. Croix should the Council see fit to
pass such an ordinance. 1t is of the
opinion though, that the terms of the or
dinance as introduced are too general
and should be made specific. Section 2
states I'm as far as the contribution
from the immigration Fund is concern
ed, be kept within the limits, that might
be fixed by the Governor ....." Ii is
believed that the terms and the limits
should specify in particular the length
Of time the laborer shall remain on the
island as an agricultural Iaborer before
, 1927-11-16

reimbursement shall be made. Under
the old ordinance they were required to
remain a certain number of years. Con
ditions are somewhat different now and
such a long stay before reimbursement
should not be required. However, it is
believed that no reimbursement should be
made until the laborer has been en-
pIoyed in agricultural pursuits on the
island for a period Of at least six months.
1t may be contended that the cost of
importation is the same whether the
laborer remains one day or indefinitely,
and reimbursement should be made re-
CARELESS of the length Of the stay. But
an ordinance must be viewed in the light
of its benefit to the municipality rather
than its benefit to a few.

man, the honorable last speaker is Wiling
to turn over legislative functions to the
Governor as his first act in this CouncH,
The spirit of this ordinance may be al
right, but I do not think it measures up
with the letter Of the law. don't know !
whether or not we can consider Porto
Rican labOrers as foreigners. | have not
given the old law any special study but =
think it scontemplates foreign labor. 1
don't think we can class Porto Rlcans as
foreigners.
Bird Member for Frederiksted Country
District Andersen, remarked: MIR. Char
man, in this draft Of law no reference is
made to the old immigration Laws nor
the laws of 1850, 1859, 1862, 1854, nor 1869
it may be flexible but not TOO lax; 1t is
drawn in a businesslike manner. Ii how
ever, the Council feels that it is DeCessa-
.ry to send it to a committee 1t may GO
so. | know from experience that some
Of the laborers imported here from Porto
Rico work for about two months on one
estate and then go to another and then
return again, and | know that this condi.
ton is likely to continue for q while, but
the main thing is not whether we should
tie them down for six months or one
year, the idea is to get them to come
over and work. 1t helps the community
all the same even if the labOrers come
and work on one estate for a time and
then 80 to another.
1st Member for Frpderiksted Country
District (CIGgke): MIR. Chairman, il the
laborers from Porto Rico continue Il
come and work for a short time on on
estate and then 90 to another and the
back to his country, in a short time v

man, | do not think this ordinance is in

entrance fees charged in the GER
titled or commercial classes, with
the exception of a charge listed,
Certified Seed Potatoes Exchange.
Exhibitors are limited to one ex-
hibit in each class.
In the commercial class the min
imum size of potatoes would be
6 ounce and while no maximum
size is listed, extremely large po-
tatoes will be severely cut in score.
The ideal size that will score per-
feet on this point will be from 8
to IL OF.
The score card to be used in
the commercial class is as follows.
Freedom from disease, 200;
Trueness to varieta1 type 1906 size
1875; uniformity It's texture of
flesh so; freedom from dirt, me-
chanical or other injury, 200; state

No exhibit will be given first
place unless it scores 925 or above
and no premium will be awarded
20 entries scoring less than 75G
according to the above schedule.
1t would be entirely possible, how
ever, to secure good exhibits from
this section for any commercial
variety.
Potatoes must be clean but not
washed. They will arrive in best
shape if each potato is wrapped
separately in paper and packed
carefully in boxes with probably
several thicknesses of newspaper
between the box and potatoes.
High school students or club
members may enter in Glass D
exhibiting in any of the above va
rieties. Premiums in this class are
first, $40; second, $780,; third,

BENTON COUNTY SHOULD
EXHIBIT AT PACIFIC
NV. POTATO SHOW

With potato growing as large
a project in the agriculture of the
county as it is, growers of the
county should make an attempt to
exhibit at the Pacific Northwest
Potato show to be held. in Spo-
kane, November 1918 inclusive.
This show features both certi-
fed seed potatoes and commercial
potatoes. From information which
we can gather no certified pota-
toes are grown in this county but
producers of commercial potatoes
could well afford to exhibit the
commercial ones. The following va
rieties are listed: Melted Gem, Ida
no Rural, Bliss Triumph, Burbank,
Irish Cobbler, Early Ohio, and an
additional lot listed as miscellan-
eous, under which any variety
grown in commercial quantities
may be listed.
The first premium in each lot is
$15; second, $40; third, $3.50, 18th
So; 9Th, $3.50. In all varieties,
with the exception of Idaho Rural
and Burbank, if information which
we have secured is correct, exhibits
could we'll be made.
The amount of potatoes required
for each exhibit is a comparatively
small amount, 20 pounds which is
about the amount of potatoes re-
quired to fill an ordinary peach
box. Express on these to Spokane
from Kennewick is but 46 cents in
Guiding the box making a total
weight of 25 pounds.
Entries may be filed with the
manager by mail any time after
October 1st and before noon of
November 18th. Exhibits must be
delivered or shipped so as to ar
rive in Spokane not later than 1
pm. November 18th. There are no
