mercial Rooms in the Elk Temple
at Pendleton Monday, May 28th. A
| number of letters were sent to the
potato growers in the county, with
special attempt to get growers to
attend this meeting but owing to
the fact that It is a very busy time
for growers, the County Agent
had to make the "trip alone.
The main point up for discus
sion was the marketing of the
northwest potatoes and number
of good discussions were given by
various men interested in one way
or another in potato growing, in
the northwest.
The meeting was very repre-
sentative, being attended by grow
ers, dealers, men from the State
Department of Agriculture as re-
lated to potato grading and en-
forcemIent, and County ,Agents.
Mr.. Romans of the Spokane Cham
Der of Commerce was secretary
for the meeting and he has prom
ised to send to each member at
this meeting a report of it, and
we would rather wait for this re-
port before sending out a general
statement on the business done at
this meeting. We feel that
it was very important meeting
and that growers, especially Of
late potatoes should consider very
carefully the recommendations of
this meeting.

LETTERS OF THE PEOPLE :

Dear Editor:
/ see by the paper where the
president has vetoed another
farm relief bill. That don't mean
much to us ditch farmers as we
don't raise any wheat or much
cotton and the only kind of hogs
we have are road hogs which have
no market value but at that we
have our market problems just
the same.
Take my case for instance.
have been milking two cows and
taking my cream to town twice
a week. It just took my cream
checks to pay my gasoline bill
but enjoyed the company of the
cows and had the fun of going
to town. Now since Kennewick has
graduated into the city class and
and filled herself up with "Stop"
signs have to stop and start so
many times that I run short of
gasoline. Now if / buy more cows
I won't have time to go to town
and if take my cream in only
once "a week it becomes So sour
no one will buy it. Looks like more
ness for the mail order houses.
Far be it from me to criticize
those who are wiser than am but
if ] owned a town that ATHEIST is
only a little better than wide
place in the road I would not erect
any barriers to keep people out
of it.
A rather funny and almost
tragic thing happened here in our
neighborhood last week. While I
was getting shaved in one of the
local barber shops I accidently
changed hats with the night mar
shall. Unknowingly / wore his hat
home and as it was the only hat
I had I wore it about my farm
work and on my various visits
around the neighborhood. Two Of
my best friends poured out their
last years wine. One destroyed a
perfectly good still one left his
henhouse door open so all his
chickens went home. I was shot at
twice and received three unono-
nous letters. Who says this limit

In the good old balmy days of
1900 ] went to Colfax to hear the
late Honorable w. j. Bryan make
a talk on free silve. One story
he told I will always remember.

were younger but the boys did
very well and will be doing much
better in their work in the future.

SUMMER GRAPEFRUIT ACREAGE
CAN STAND TO BE INCREASED

pcctcd that the supplies of both
grapefruit and winter oranges from
that state will be substantially larC-
cr. In addition, the larger ship
ments of grapefruit from Texas,
Arizona and California will pro-
badly add greatly to the future sup
plies. Some further increase in the
donand for grapefruit, both here
and aboard, may be expected, but it
is doubtful if the demand will be
increased as rapidly as supplies are
likely to increase. In view of the
probable developments during the
next few years, it does not appear
likely that the present high level of
prices in the winter months can be
maintained.
