PRAISE FOR MIR. MORROW

The recent address by Ambassador Morrow before
the American Chamber Of Commerce in Mexico City
has been as well received in Mexico City as it was
generally in the United States. Excelsior, the most in
fluential newspaper in the republic below the Rio
Grande, has bestowed warm editorial praise upon Mr..
Morrow, and this sentiment is understood to be rem
resentatlve Of Mexico as a whole. His tribute to Can
tam Carranza, the Mexican goodwill flier. who died
when his plane crashed in New Jersey, and his mention
Of the calmness with which the country Withstand Tho
assassination Of President-Elect Oregon were deeplv
appreciated. But the greatest acclaim was reserved for
ms expression Of faith in Mexico and its leadership
during the present crisis. This is direct evidence that
nj. Morrow sounded the right note in Strengthening
the new and cordial relations between Mexico and tba
united states which have come into being under the
wise policy adopted by President Coolidge.

Throughout the unirrigated section the movement has
spread, and cotton growers report that the cleanup
will be the most complete in the history Of the Valley.
And while this cleanup is on. why not extend it
to the cutting Of weeds along the roadside, the clear
ing Of ~unsightly brush plots, and a general cleanup
Of farm yards and vacant lots in towns and cities =?
After the heavy fall rains many sections of the Valley
are in an ~unsightly condition as a result OF the rapid
growth Of weeds, and elimination of this condition
the tourists and visitors who are beginning to arrive

Sour fruit crop is excellent, grain
[crop 100 per cent, farm condi-

theatre points out. "Kennewick
and the lower Yakima valley feel
as jubilant as kid with his first
long pants. Our prospects are good
and the town and community are
going ahead"
The local show house, under the
direction Of Mr.. Mercy, has work
ed continually to improve thu
quality Of it's entertainment feat
ures and for the next month will
present series of pictures that
are equal to any being shown in
the United States. Next week
thre will be "The Gaucho," Doug
las Fairbanks latest thriller, one
that has attracted nationwide at
tention, Bebe Daniels in "Feel my
Pulse, and Poll Negri in 'Three
Sinners.
Later in the month Kennewick
may enjoy the worlds premier
showing Of Richard Barthelmess
in his new picture "Out Of the
Ruins" Through the efforts Of
Les Fine, local manager, this pic
ture will have its first introduc-
ton to the American public in Ken
newck. Barthelmess is an actor
of no mean ability and to have one
of his pictures given its first

COW TESTING
PROVED TO BE
WORTH WHILE,
Cost of Feeding Nom -Produc-
ers, Raising the Worthless
Calves and Labor Expended
Exceeds Cost of Testing
Profits Shown.

"The cost of keeping an accurate
record on a cow is hardly worth
considering when compared to the
profit derived from the intelligent
use of this record. One good cali
saved or one poor one destroyed
may save the owner the price of
testing during the year. Four ex-
ira pounds of butterfat from q
cow during the year will pay for
the testing" This appears in the
annual report of the Clallam coun-
ty Dairy Herd Improvement asso-
citation.
This record bears out the fact
that intelligent selection and care
Of cows will increase profits. Conn.,
pairing cows which produce less
than 800 pounds Of butterfat with
those producing more than 800 lbs.
it is shown that while feed costs
increase 1877 per cent for the high
er producers, the profits increased
41.5 per cent.
Feed costs on all cows under 300
pounds of butterfat averaged $59.62
as compared to $70.77 for those
producing more than 800 pounds.
Profits averaged $72.56 and -$123.-
90 respectively, for the 2 groups.
The 715 cows in the association
averaged 361 pounds of butterfat
with an average value of products
per cow Of $106.85 and an average
return above feed costs of $115.20.
For each $1.OO expended for feed
there was a return Of $2.61.

GOOD PRIZES
FOR BESTCOW
AT FALL FAIR
Forty Dollars i'm Prize Money
Offered to Best Producers
Cows will be MIXED and
Tested at the Fair Grounds
for Two Days.

Dairymen of the community, and
that includes everything from Rich
land to Hover, have an opportunity
of winning some good cash prizes
at the fair this year in the butt
terfat production contest, outlined
on pages 2 and in the premium
list. This kind of a contest will be-
come more or less of a general
one, wherever dairying has come
to he or has been, one of the ma
ior farm enterprises.
The general outline of the con-
test is as follows: The cow pro-
ducing the largest amount of but
terfat in one day will receive $25;
the second largest producer, $40;
and the third SIS. In order to check
the butterfat production, it will
be necessary that the cows be
brought to the fair grounds in time
to be milked Friday morning un-
der the supervision of someone in
charge of the contest. 1t will be
better if the cows can be brought
in Thursday evening, as all cows
will need to be milked approximate
ly at the same time Friday morn
ing. Friday evening each cow will
be milked again at the same time
and the weight, together with
sample of this milk taken
by the person in charge of the con-
test. The same thing will be done
again Saturday morning and then
the butterfat production will be
calculated on these milkings. Cows
which have been in milk for some
time or young cows will be given
handicap as outlined on the top
of page in the premium list. The
idea of this handicap is to give
every cow the same chance. The
awarding on this will be announc-
ed on Saturday.
Substantial cash prizes have

the three creamerymen in offering
these jointly are anxious to see a
good turnout of cows and it is be-
lieved that dairynnen should show
quite a little interest in this con-
test.
The superintendent of the contest
has not yet been selected but will
be someone entirely disinterested,
so that there need be no question
on the part of anyone in regard to
the results and figures will be open
to all following the contest.
This sort of contest should
bring out quite contest between
the different breeds of cattle, but
it should be thoroly understood
that grades and purebreds all COM
pete on equal basis.

FAIR PLANS
GO FORWARD
AT FINE RATE
Necessary Buildings to be Put
Up Soon is Plan-New Fea-
lures and New Exhibits are
Expected to be Shown this
Year

Plans for the 1928 Kennewick
Fair are progressing very nicely
in all departments. The Kiwanis
club has taken over and is making
definite plans for the queen con-
test, which promises to be one of
the bigger features of the fair this
year. The Legion is actively at
work on the amusement features
and this end of it is sure to be
bigger and better than we have
had in the past.
All superintendent are working
on their departments, talking up
the various features under their
direction and there is quite little
interest shown on the part of
many in the community in many
of the features called for in the
premium list this year.
Mr.. Williams just recently re-
turned to the city and in the very
near future the fair board will
meet with the grounds committee
and steps will be taken to take
care of such buildings as will be
erected this year, so that they will
be ready in plenty of time for the
fair.
There are number Of new fea-
lures planned for the fair this year
as outlined in the premium lis,
and everyone in the community can
afford to spend a little time look
ing over this list and planning ex-
hibits.

P. O. RECEIPTS INCREASE

Better business conditions IN
the Kennewick district are reflect
ed in postal receipts for July, ac-
cording to Postmaster Shanafelt.
Receipts for July 1928 show an
increase of 35 per cent over July
1927. Most of this increase is ac-
counted for in the numerous ship
ments of fruit by parcel post. The
big increase in the number of
first two days of August showed
air mail letters to be popular ow-
ing to the new five cent rate.
