IRRIG. DIST.'S
AV. HIGHEST
Washington Leads Nation
in Crop Value per A.
Livestock Important

y
of the superior excellence of the
reclamation projects of this sec
tion, as compared with those else
wherein this nation, is to be found
in the report of the department of
the interior concerning reclama-
tion progress in the past ten years
which was released recently.
According to that report, the
average acre value of crops for
the, ten1year period on all recla-
nation projects was $53.42, which
is "far greater than the acre val
ue of crops in the United States
as a whole" In addition the Yak
ina and Okanogan projects, the
only ones in this state, show the
highest per acre value of all re-
clamation projects, the range be-
| ing from $77.30 to $685..
"The statement issued by the
interior department. shows that the
gross value of crops grown the
last ten years on land irrigated
from works constructed by the bu-
reau of reclamation amounted to
more than one billion dollars" says
the memorandum sent to j. L. Ly-.
tel, at the head of the Yakima re-
clamation project.
"a tabulation recently prepared
shows the cropped acreage, value
of crops and the average value of
crops per acre for each of the
years 1917 to 1926 inclusive. In
1917 the cropped area was 966, 78l
acres and the value of the crops
was $56,462, 900. Since then there
has been a gradual, but steady,
increase in the cropped area, until
in 1926 the area was 2,264, 500
acres and the value Of the crops
sos, ,118,300. The yearly value of
crops fluctuated widely during the
ten-year period, owing to condi-
tions created by the world war.
ssThe average acre value for the
ten-year period was S53.42, which
is far greater than the acre value
of crops in the United States as
whole. Statistics show that the
average value of the ten leading
crops in the United States, which
represent nearly 90 per cent OF the
total area of crops, ranges from
$14.45 to $35.74.
"The high acre average on re-
clamation projects is the result OF
an adequate water supply and inn
provements and cultivation above
the average. The state of Wash
ington, in which the Yakima and
Okanogan projects are located,
showed the highest per acre value
of crops during the 10-year period,
ranging from $77.30 to 1885. In
contrast the lowest per acre value
is shown in Montana. These sta
tistics furnish a striking indica-
ton of the part federal irrigation
has played in building up a self
supporting population on what
were desert solitudes and creating
satisfactory economic life on the
land.
"The interior department an
nounces that a recent inventory
by the irrigation projects shows
a total value of S32,515, 900, an
increase over the preceding year
of S2,O86,200. Live stock was val
ued at $2O,391, 100 and equipment
at S12,124,8 800. The largest live
stock value, amounting to s3,423,-
600, was found on the Salt River
project, Arizona"
The Yakima project was among
those reporting livestock value to
be over one million dollars.

GRANGE HAS
SWELL PICNIC
Many Speakers Present
Cow Assn. Starts Drive
for $4,000 i'm Stock

From every standpoint the an
nual Pomona grange and Kenne-
wick -Richland Cow Owners picnic
at Richland Saturday was a sue
cess, if we may take the word Of
Phil G. Warnock, who is one of
the local promoters of the credit
organization, for granted. A large
crowd attended, a large number
of prominent men were on hand,
and a spirit Of cooperation was
shown by all the local citizens.
The purpose of the picnic, so far
as the Cow Owners association was
concerned was to start the sub
scription of stock in the agricul-
tural credit corporation, a stock
company, that by guaranteeing the
paper of farmers, will enable them
to borrow money at a low rate Of
interest from the intermediate
credit bank at Spokane. Stock in
this company is priced at $40 per
share. About twenty sales of
stock were actually made, some of
them going as high as twenty
shares.
As most of the crowd did not
arrive until afternoon it was thot
advisable to delay the program so
that all might get in on what was
taking place. Talks were made by
A. S. Goss, state grange master;
Hugh Sprout, Stephen Chaffee,
Byron Thompson, c. G. Gignoux,
E. c. Durdle and several other i'm
portant and influential men who
are interested in the formation Of
this new credit association. There
were several other speakers, too,
who were originally on the pro-
gram who did not have an oppor-
tunity to talk owing to the short
age of time.
j. w. Haw, director of agricul-
ture for the N. P. Ry., came all
the way from st. Paul. purposely
to be here for the meeting. He
is enthusiastic about the prospect
of an agricultural credit corpora
tion because of the excellent re-
suits accomplished in Minnesota
by a similar corporation which, ac-
cording to him, now has capital
ization of $3,0O0,0O0 and has done
more, he says, than any single
factor in the development of that
state. All the speakers agreed that
the proposed credit corporation
would be a great help to the peo-
pie here if financial help could
thus be obtained to aid and en-
courage the dairy industry.
Those promoting the credit cor
poration will make complete can
vass of every farmer in the dis
trict and the business men of Ken
newick and Richland in an effort
to obtain a substantial start toward
a paid-up capital fund of $4,000.
If sufficient amount is obtained
from the farmers and the business
men here, the two railroad COM
panies and the Federal Land bank
will be asked to make up the bal
ance, which Mr.. Warnock says,
they have virtually agreed to do.
The hackers of the enterprise
believe that they have started
something that will mean a lot
to Kennewick and Richland at
present and in the future and are
very much pleased with the active
interest everyone has shown so far.

Easter, commemorating to Christian
believers the resurrection of the
Savior of Mankind and almost uni
versally observed as a day and time
of joy and feasting, is the oldest of
all the festivals in the Christian cal
endar. Easter signalizes the formal
dawn of Spring. Winter is at an end;
the trees and flowers, stirring frcm
their slumbers and throwing off their
coverlets of snow, put forth bud and
blossom; there is balm in the air. It
is the real awakening of the new
year.
Easter even antedates Christmas as
q day OF Christian rejoicing. While
Eostre or Pascha-ancient designation
of the day-has been observed from
tho time of the foundation of the
Christian religion, 1t was not until
four centuries after the birth of Jesus
of Nazareth that His natal day was
set apart for general commemoration.
Indeed. the origin of the Easter fes.
tival Is traced still further back into
the past to the institution of the old
Jewish Feast of the Passover.
According TO q church historian,
''the first Christians, being derived
from or intimately connected with the
Jewish Church, naturally continued to
observe Jewish festivals, though in a
new spirit, as commemorative of
events of which those had been
shadows. The Passover, ennobled by
the thought of Christ as the true
Paschal Lamb, continued to be cele-
brated and became the Christian
Easter"
A modern instance of like adoption
Of ancient forms to Christian uses is
reported by Galen M. Fisher in his
Creative Forces in Japan" One of
them, he says, lis the joyous Buddhist
Feast of All Spirits, when torches and
lanterns are set atwinkling far and
wide in the rice fields and the candles
are lighted indoors amid feasting and
merriment. The change into a COM
memoration of All Saints, marked by
service of praise for departed rela-
tives and friends, Is being made by
not few churches. Another is the
Shinto Feast of First Fruits, when
the new rice is presented to the gods
of fertility. 1t is found by Christians
to be natural occasion for a service

EASTER is OLDEST FESTIVAL
IN ENTIRE CHRISTIAN CALENDAR

of praise and thanksgiving to the
Giver of All Good"
AS leading to the joyous observance
of Easter, increasing Importance has
been attached by Christian peoples
in later years to Long, or Gods, or
Good Friday, as ii is variously known.
AS the day on which the tragedy of
the cross was enacted on the Hill Of
Golgotha. it is the most solemn and
sacred in the Christian year. This
note of solemnity Is even reflected in
the affairs of the secular world. most
of the States of the Nation having
made it legal holiday.
Early differences arose as to the
precise day on which the Easter fes-
tival should be observed In the
Jewish calendar the Passover occurs
on a fixed day OF the month. The
Christians assigned Easter to Sun
day, as the first day Of the week
and the day, according to Scripture.
of the resurrection. Astronomical
problems of complex character
were largely responsible for those diff
ferences, which continued until the
year 325 A. d., when the Council Of
Nicea decreed that everywhere in
Christendom Easter should be OBJ
served on the same day. 1t was not
until the adoption or the Gregorlan
calendar, however, that this decree,
which fixed Easter as falling on the
first Sunday after the full moon fol-
lowing the vernal equinox, secured
anything like general acceptance.
Even now, though the Gregorian CAL
endar has within the past two years
been adopted In the Near East, there
are some Oriental congregations in
which Easter is observed sometimes
before and sometimes after the date
on which the festival is celebrated in
the Western churches
