GROWERS SHOULD
USE BEST OF SEED
Experiment Station Urges Spud
Growers to Use Certified Stock
Only for Planting

With the increasing number of
potato diseases and the increasing
prevalence of these diseases it is
very important that growers should
use healthy seed. says bulletin
from the experiment station. The
crop grown from diseased seed is
considerably inferior in quality
and yield than potatoes produced
from disease-free seed stock. Dis
ease-free potatoes for seed are
produced at greater expense than
is the common market crop but if
guaranteed to be disease-free they
are worth considerably more to the
market crop grower for seed. than
seed OF unknown quality.
Disease-free seed can readily be
procured now by getting state GER
tined or approved seed. This seed
tnat has been grown, rogued, sort
ed and inspected under state SUI
pefvlsion and is certified to con-
tain not more than ten percent dis
ease and to be true to type and
name of variety. This type of seed
STOCK bears an official certification
lag sealed to each sack by which
sne grower can be certain of what
he buys.
GOOD dairymen are particular
ABOUT having high yielding dis
ease-free stock in order to make
q success OF their dairy farm. WHY
snouldnt the potato grower be lust
as particular? The case is par
aliel and healthy seed is surely a
very important rung in the ladder
oI success for potato growers

MAY BRINGS
MOTOR BOATS
A F. Brown Launches 90
Several 9th
ers Ready Soon

The boating season is again up.
on US. This fact can be easily as.
certained by a glance around the
town and along the river where
Kennewick's aquatic sportsmen are
preparing for the summers gay
ETY..
Sunday morning, A. F. Brown
towed his thirty-footer, "Long Liz
back to the river and re-introduced
it to the sparkling waves of the
Columbia. Long Liz, who weighs
approximately one ton, had been
in storage for the past few months
and was rather hard to launch.
The river bank was muddy and
soft and the wheels of the truck
mired down before the water was
reached. However, with the help
and suggestions from gallery of
about 25 persons who turned out
to witness the spectacle. after some
difficulty the feat was accomplish
ed. When the boat was finally
ready to go about dozen persons
sprang aboard and she made her
initial trip( for this season. across
the river. Everything worked fine
except that the cooling system for
the new six cylinder motor proved
inadequate and will have to be ad-
justed.
Marvin Carnahan, another cron-
ic boating enthusiast, has a new,
flat-bottomed, twenty-five foot
boat to launch this spring. Mar
vim has been working on his craft
in his spart time all winter and
will soon have it ready for its first
official baptism. The ship is pow
cred by an Oakland six motor and
looks capable of developing con-
siderable speed.
Several other people about the
community are thinking seriously
of the pleasures of boating, among
whom is H. H. DeHaven who will
soon have new boat ready. All
in all, it looks as tho the year 1928
will set new record for this high
ly enjoyable pastime.

SPELLING CONTEST

The Benton county spelling con-
test will be held at the Richland
high school, May %, beginning at
7:30 pm. simultaneously with the
Sth grade contest, 7th grade
contest will be held, and no school
will. be allowed more than two con-
testants in each grade. 1t is ex-
pected that every school in Benton
county having 7th or 9Th grade
pupils will make an effort to have
at least one representative at the
contest. 1t is hoped that many
schools will hold school contests
to determine their local champion.
In case no school contest is held,
school representatives may be Sc
lected by the teachers.

PURPOSE OF
LEAGUE TOLD
Would Conserve Natural
Resources and Game
Encourage Recreation

The objects and aims of the
Izaak Walton League are in a
general way three-fold, says R. L.
Lundy, sec. of the local branch
First to conserve our outdoor life,
to fight on the side of outdoor rec
reation areas as natural resources
of our country, which we claim
must be considered on equal terms
with, and in some cases, on terms
superior to, such resources as lum-
Der, power and metals.
Second, to promote the propaga-
tion of wild life, foster reforesta-
tion, combat pollution of waters,
so that there may be more fish,
more game, and more forests for
camping. more outdoor recreation
for everybody, and clean streams
to camp by.
Third, to create and encourage
outdoor recreation for all to the
end that basic character of this
nation may continue to secure the
great benefit to health of mind and
body which comes from the days
spent in this great outdoors of
ours.
The league is opposed to indis-
criminate drainage of marsh lands
to unfair and unsportsmanlike
methods of hunting and fishing. it
believes in and actively promotes
fish and game refugees, enforce
nlent of all game laws, and fair
ness in outdoor sports and camp
ing or other use of outdoor re-
sources.
To attain these ends the Izaak
Walton League is hard at work
throughout America in local. state.
and national chapters. The local
chapter has Al members.
The league is not exclusively
composed of sportsmen, it includes
all who are interested in the great
outdoors in any way, and all who
believe that the great outdoors is
the true builder of character and
the health and the moral and ma
terial wealth of the nation.

KEEPING 1T BEFORE THE PEOPLE
lSherman Democratl

A1ANiuldH
At Jackson, Miss, on Feb. 90. will be held another
cotton conference, usually held annually but some
times semi-annually. This time it will be at the call
Of Governor Dan Moody OF Texas and favorable re-
sponses have already come from five governors of
southern states. The objc Of this particular meeting
is TO "organize for the reduction Of cotton acreage
and to battle propaganda that il increasing"
Because the meetings have been held so regularly
and with a sameness in results. they are regarded with
a tolerant pessimism on all sides. IL is generally
acknowledged that such gatherings can have no def
mite results and judging from past experience nothing
be expected. As a matter of fact, the statement Of
the objects of the meeting acknowledge its weaness.
The object Of the meeting is to be ~two-fold. to or
ganize for a reduction in acreage and to battle "propa-
ganda. Judging by accomplishment OF the past the
latter is the zeal objective. the real benefit being e-
pected to come from the combating Of propaganda.
And it may be well that the meeting be held if for no
other reason than to get the people Of the South 20
thinking over the matter.
Some good may be said to have been accomplished
for Governor Moodys action Of some time ago, when
he first voiced opinion that such a convocation would
do good, caused a temporary increase in prices. bulle-
tins of a New Orleans cotton organization said. The
Texas executive believes there actually will be a de-
crease in the South's cotton acreage and that "propa-
ganda" is u being used by financial interests to hammer
down prices.
We are coming to regard such conferences with
tolerant pessimism but at the same time we EXPECT
that at some day or other, perhaps now, there will
come a combination of circumstances that will force
the farmers, tenants and landlords to place some other
phase Of farming on a parity with cotton growing and
make a real reduction movement. In the meantime the
conferences can keep the matter before the people.
