WINTER SPINACH GAINING
FAVOR

Spinach seeded in the fall and
coming through the winter to pro-
duce an extra crop in the spring,
is a crop which is gaining favor In
the earlier sections of the county.
Yakima Fruit and Cold Storage
Co. reports that they have bought
so acres for this crop, signing up
for planting this year.
Spinach is one of the crops
which is in big demand early in
the spring because of the high
vitamine content, and it is being
especially recommended by dieti-
tions and medical people for both
children and adults. This crop has
been tried out in the Kennewick
community and found to come thru
i'm good shape, so as to produce
a good crop early in the spring
and should promise to become a
good cash crop where one works
it in with the general farm pro-
gram. We believe that this might
become one of the better cash
crops to raise in connection with
the livestock project on the farm
the needed fertilizer would be
available to make it possible tc
secure good yields.
The crop should be seeded be
fore the first of October, on vel
prepared ground. 1t is usually
drilled from 10 to 16 inches
apart and from Is to 80 pound:
of seed being used to the acre
The rows are then thinned S,
that the plant stand four to sil
inches apart. The crop may b'
harvested as soon as sufficient
growth is made in the spring t
make it profitable. AS is true wit
all early crops, the earliesr tn
harvesting, the greater the prize
per pound, but maximum return
may be secured, by holding off o.
the harvesting until little later
The variety usually raised, i
known as the Thick-leaved Spin
ach. This variety makes better
growth, as well as growing to !
good size. We understand that tn

FIELD DAY

Field Day, that traditional day
when the Freshmen and Sophie
mores fight for supremacy.
A bicycle race between the boys
and a foot race for the girls
showed that the Sophomores are
much the faster, but when all legs
are together as in the thousand
legged race the Freshmen are the
better. By the soccer ball match
the Freshmen girls show that they
have more kick than their older
sisters. Neither class seems to be
experienced in burrowing for they
were unable in two successive
trials to dig up the ball. 1t must
have been well hidden for even
the lettermen who buried it were
unable to discover it without much
hunting. The sack fight was an
other draw as both classes seem
ed evenly matched. An obstacle
race was won by the Freshmen
but they were unsuccessful in the
tug-of-war. 1t was hard pull for.
the Sophomores but with a good
deal of cheering from the upper
class men and by sheer grit they
pulled their opponents into the
cooling waters of the irrigation
ditch.
Though all the features were
fought through with determination
the "color fights" on the side lines
were most amusing. Two might
start fight but the rest of the
crowd were soon involved in the
frantic snatch for the bright bits
of colored ribbon. -i

they will consume. In addition
give is to 25 pounds of silage and

PardO was answering his fan mail.
Ace and l talked about what could
be done with a ton Of raisins "a
raisin is a dried grape, you know
when properly tantalized.
About that time Pardo completed
part Of his fan mail and he dis
patched the gentlemen to put onto
a typewriter his answers to many
questions that people have asked
him in letters.

said Ace.
NO" said Pardo and j. W"
turned off the music box.
And then for about thirty minutes
we just talked shop and 1 recog-
nized in the things that Pardo does
on the stage that acting comes
from a good brain.
1t takes brains to make people
laugh. 1t takes the same article TO
make people think. And it takes
bunch of the same stuff to keep a
show moving as Pardo does on the
Circle stage.
I found him first honestly taking
care Of his public when he was not
even on the stage. That was when
he was answering his fan mail.
And then he found time to Sc
riously talk to me about the ethics
Of acting. Many a name of a great
actor was mentioned by Pardo
Pardo is a star, but he finds time
too seriously consider the contribu-
ton of those who have made and
are making stage history.

said. 1T was signed by "A Friend.

prelude to the interview" Then
there was bang on the door and
Ace Berry arrived to give more at
mCSphere to the proceedings.
Ace slapped Pardo on the back
and asked him what he was doing.
Pardo said that he was answering
his fan mail.
Pardo turned directly to the man
who was taking the dictation ana
used the word reincarnation.
"You know how to spell it?' said
Pardo to the man who was writing.
Then Pardo pulled the Tunney
Shakespeare stuff. He actually did
spell it out.
Abaut that time I was ready to
pass out with this intellectual blow
because 1 would never use the word
in public print without consulting
Mr.. Webster.
Then Pardo refused to tell his
age, whether he loved hard boiled
eggs for breakfast or just some
well known breakfast food. Pardo
believes that even an actor as well
as fans has some right to privacy
when it comes to ones age, race OF
even breakfast food.

commodating usher. There I was
met by two dark letters known as
81. W. This initial individual took
my coat before I could ask for
check. Oh, he was much accom-
modating, as he is Pardo's valet.
Seated at that mirror thing
known as a stage dressing table was
Pardo. He had on dressing gown,
slippers, socks, probably BVD'S, and
the rest was imagination.
He was debating mail and much
too busy to be bothered about a
guy who wanted to tell the world
about him. He stuck out a paw,
meaning his hand.
And he kept right on Winding
his business and how. And let me
tell you right now-What was his
business? Well, I will tell you. 1t

A chap, wearing red hair, was
taking the dictation of Pardo. When
I landed in one of the chairs in

of the fact that there was music.
1t was coming from monograph.

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 24.-Federal
troops are in pursuit of q bandit
gang that almost brought u. S.
Ambassador Dwight w. Morrow
under fire of their rifles in a
battle with government forces on
the Cuernavaca highway yesterday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Morrow were mo-
toring along the roadway when
their car got stuck in the mud 20
miles from Cuernavaea, near Hiz-
lilac, which has long been the center
OF bandit activities.
Heavy firing started just 500
yards OF the stalled car. II the
automobile had not been mired it
might have been caught in the
direct line of fire between the
bandits and the federals. Bullets
whizzed overhead and spurted up
dust around the diplomats auto
mobile.
The Ambassador and Mrs. Nor
row remained cool, the former
standing alongside the motor car
until the bandits retreated into the
mountains.

z HEAD BREAK
IN SOLID
SOUTH"
BY international News Service

NEW YORK, Sept. PA nation
wide drive to end permanently the
"one-party status of the solid
South was launched here today by
an influential group of New York
business men, lawyers, doctors, fl
nanciers and educators Of Southern
origin.
Tracing the tremendous economic
and social development of the South
ern States in the last 25 years the
keynote OF the new movement de-
clared that the coming presidential
election gives the South a splendid
opportunity to throw off an incubus
which has made it impotent politi-
cally for more than so years.
Twenty-Five widely known names
were attached to the appeal, which
was made public at the law offices
OF Catesby l.. Jones. Among them
were Fairfax G. Christian, Bernard
J. Harrison. Oscar l.. Bunting,
James A. Lee and John F. BoWles.
Jones said the statement was pre-.
pared without consultation with the
Republican campaign managers
here.
Notwithstanding evidences of i'm.
provement, the statement said,
there remains the habit of political
solidarity which prevents the South
ern voter from seeing his political
activities in relation to his own we'll
being. All of us realize that the
reason for such political solidarity
is now a thing of the past.
THE present presidential cleo
ton offers the South a God-given
opportunity to pull itself out of
this political slough. For the first
time in our memory, the Repub-
lican party has realized that it
Is worth It's while to bother about
the South. This fact is Of such
significance that We of the South
should not fail to take full ad-
vantage of it."

Agricultural Exports Drop

The annual index number Of agri.
cultural exports for the year ended
June 80. 1928, as based on the do
nestle exports of A principal farm
products, amounted to 112, which is
noticeably under that of 1927, ac-
cording to the Department of Agri-
culture. Except for 1927 when the
annual index was unusually high
due to a record export of cotton
fiber, the index for the year just
closed shows little change from the
average index of the five preceding
years.
Clifton exports, while registering a
sharp decline from the peak figure
of a year ago, compared favorably
with the exports for 1925 and 1925,
and the index was much higher than
at any time from 1916 to 1924.
