but state that the Opposition dele

came from the mines and mills the
Opposition had only one miner dele

OF
SPINACH SENT
TO CHICAGO
Three Rivers Growers Asso-
citation Ships First Spin
ach to Eastern Markets
Kennewick Product Excels

A carlot of spinach was shipped
to Chicago Wednesday by the 8
Rivers Growers association. This
is the first Kennewick spinach to
be sent in this quantity to an east
ern market. The Kennewick spin
ach is of especially fine quality,
Lee Lampson stated, and even
though the price is only fair due to
a late season, Kennewick spinach
is establishing a record for quail
ity. This spinach brought $1.25 per
40-lb crate fob. Kennewick. About
60 per cent of the carlot was grown
by Harry Yamagami and the rest
by F. II. Salmon, Warner and
Dague and Delmar Poison.
Two carlots were shipped to Spo-
kane by Yamagami about 10 days
ago. This brought $1.75 per 40
ID crate at Spokane.
While the return has been rel
atively poor this year, Yamagami
states that he expects to plant it
again next year. There is little ex-
pense to the crop as there is just
the planting of it and it requires
no wedding or irrigating and at
the present time, picking the spin
ach is cheap. What spinach is not
sold is plowed under and enriches
the soil. When the season is nor
NAL, good price can be secured
for the product, Yamagani states.

PLAN TO PLANT
TOMATOES HERE
Green Tomatoes Shipped in Car
lots for First Time Last Year;
To Grow More This Year

Indications point to the plant
ing of considerable acreage in to-
matoes in the Kennewick district
this year. Last year green toma-
toes were shipped out of Kennewick
in carlots for the first time.
Harry Yamagami, who grew
most of the green tomatoes which
were shipped last wear, expects
to plant about 80 acres in tomatoes
this year. Fred S. Laing, who was
formerly bookkeeper for the Yaki-
ma Fruit and Cold Storage Co.
here, is planting 10 acres in toma-
toes near Richland and 10 acres
near Finley. E. T. Lindsey is plant
ing about IL acres near Finley.
The soil and the climate i'm the
district are suitable for raising
tomatoes, which are a good COM
mercial crop, according to Laing.

FARM
PLANS 10000
OUTPUT HERE
Baby Chicks, 48 to 72 Hours
Old, Sold All Over North
west; To Raise 10000 Pull
let's This Season

An output of 10000 chicks is
planned for this season by the
Twin City Poultry farm, accord
ing to Sam Weiggands, manager.
Thirty-five hundred eggs are
Matched every five days. The hatch
ing starting February 8 and will
continue until about the first of
June.
Chicks from 48 to 72 hours old
are sold. About 10000 will be
brooded at the farm and will be
sold as pullets. Weiggands is rais-
ing both white Leghorns and Rhode
Island Reds.
The hatcheries, which were built
by Weiggands last spring are
heated by oil and the air is cir
culated by electricity. This gives
the chicks pure air. Baby chicks
are sold by this company in Wash
ington, Oregon, Idaho and Mon
tana.
Four brooders of 1900 chicks
each are raising pullets. The pull
lets will start to be delivered about
lN1dy L. WClSSdii0S lOoS VII
baby chicks is only about 2 per
cent.
Weiggands is using lights on the
baby chicks to give them longer
feeding hours for the first time
this year. He takes the roosters
away from the pullets when they
are a month old to prevent over
crowding. When the chicks are
six weeks old they are placed in
colony houses. Natural green stuff
is in each pen.
Many improvements have been
made at the farm, which is about
one mile. south of town on Wash
ington street. An orchard of april
cot and cherry trees has been
planted to provide shade for the
chicks. A new laying house, % by
go feet, was constructed last fall.
1t is known as the Washington
State College type house. It has a
straw loft, electric lights and a
cement floor. 1t has three venti-
lators which keep the foul air off
of the floor.

HAY RETURNS
GOOD PROFIT
TO LOCAL MEN
Lampson and Osborne Get Re-
turn of $24.44 For Each
Ton of Hay Consumed by
Flock of Sheep

Figures. which indicate that a
good return can be secured from
the sale of hay through feeding
| it to a flock of lambs, were COM
piled recently by Lee Lampsonl
and j. v. Osborne, who purchased
25O late spring lambs this fall
and sold them in March. They re-
lceived a return of $24.44 for
each ton of hay consumed by the
lambs.
Lampson and Osborne bought
the sheep to secure manure for
use on sandy soil on which they
grow asparagus. They fed the
! sheep % tons of hay, which cost
$1,000 per ton. When they start
ed the feeding work, they antici-
pated that the sheep would re-
turn a little above the hay cost.
Mr.. Lampson stated yesterday
that they were more than salts
fled with the results.
Mr.. Lampson plans that next
year they may feed out a car
| load of steers in addition to a
carload of lambs as they expect
that as good profit could be made
from steers as from sheep.
The $50 late spring lambs,
when purchased, weighed in at
an average of 62 pounds, but
there was a wide range in weight
in the lot, which would make them
not an exceptionally good lot
from which to expect economical
gain. They were purchased at II
cents. They were sold on the
Portland market on the basis of
approximately Ia cents, fob.
Kennewick or gain of approx
imately 8 cents per pound, which
was little better than ordinarily
/ can be expected. This situation
would just about offset the dis
advantage of the uneven lot to
lbegin with. Three lambs were lost
during the feeding period.
| To the original cost of the
| lambs which was $1682.77 was
added the cost of % tons of hay
at $1,000 per ton; the cost of
chopping this or $49.50; the cost
of grain which was $308.04, fig
uring original cost plus cost of
grinding wheat which was fed
with alfalfa hay; bridge toll,
$3.50; loss of three head, $20.46;
salt, $500; inspection, $500. The
lambs were sold for $2764.18,
which leaves a balance of $404.41
after charging the hay at $1,000,
| and this leaves a net return of
$14.44 above the original pur-
chase price of the hay or a total
return of $24.44.
They secured 55 big loads Of
manure from the feed lot and ac-
cording to Mr.. Lampson, if they
had begun to use straw three
weeks earlier, they would have
gotten approximately 15 more
loads of manure. Figuring this
manure at an Approximate value
of $500 per load, which is very
conservative figure, the returns
for the manure will more than
take care of money expended in
hauling straw, interest on the
deal from November to March and
labor involved. Mr.. Osborne
states that he put in approx
mately two hours per day in tax
ing care of the sheep and Mr..
Lampson and his boys spent a
small amount of time each morn
ing bedding down the sheep.
Every morning following snow
the sheep were re-bedded and the
new snow served to supply the
necessary moisture to bring about
good decomposition and mixture
ofs the straw and manure.
