MORE ACREAGE
TO GO TO CHERRIES
Lee Lampson Buys 10-Acre Tract
on Highlands to Set Out
in Cherries

A stronger believer than ever in
the possibilities for making money
in the cherry business, Lee M.
Lampson has decided to get into
the game himself. A year or so
ago, Mr.. Lampson and few asso-
ciates planned to form a company,
buy land and plant it to a CONNER
cial orchard. For one reason or an
other the company was never form
ed, but the plan still seemed good
to Lampson.
This week he purchased the ten
acre tract on the Highlands known
as the Hanratty place, just south
of his fathers place. Work of pull
ing out the apple trees and clean
ing up the tract will be started at
once and the land prepared for the
planting of the cherry orchard.
This will give the Lampsons 20
acre tract of cherries in one block.
Lampson feels that a disaster like
the one experienced here last win
ter will be a long time in coming
again, and that the future for the
cherry bushes is just as bright as
it has ever been. He has made a
profitable venture of his Trans
parent apple orchard and thinks
the cherries offer just as profitable
a line.

Two Lose Lives
In Yakima River
Sisters Unable to Swim
Are Drowned While
Wading

Apparently having waded beyond
their depth, Mozelle and Myron
16 and Ia years old, were
drowned about 5 o'clock Tuesday
afternoon in the Yakima river
about six miles northwest Of Rich
land. Neither girl could swim.
The girls were the daughters of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ed DeFriece, whose
home is in Nebraska, and with
their parents and another sister
II years old, they have been tour
ing the Northwest, the parents
making their way as they went.
just now they are employed at the
Ed Ragsdale ranch near Richland.
The beach where the girls were
wading is one Of the most popu-
lar along the river and has been
considered safe with the sand slop-
ing out gradually under the water
so that the only explanation which
could be offered was that the girls
went out too far. The bodies were
recovered at the beach and a Ken
newick physician who examined
them declared that they had been
dead only about half an hour when
found. No person, as far as known,
was on the beach at the time of
the accident. Burial will be at eKn-
newick Friday.

III Returns Excellent
3 Rivers Average is $1.24
and Six Cents on the
Cannery Grade

The 8 Rivers Association just
mailed out final returns to their
growers this week on asparagus.
Mr.. Lampson, manager Of the or
ganization, advises in his report
that the Association shipped "a,
54S boxes of No. rs which return
ed to the community $92, 575.18. FL
nal rechecking of boxes and re-
turns show an average of S1.24-I-5
cents.
The report shows that they ship
ped 1868 boxes of unclasisfied
that brought to the COM
munity $16,665.99, or an average
of S4c for unclassified or No. 2 as
paragus.
New Outlets for Cannery Grass
The report points out that in ad-
dition to sales to the cannery at
Sunnyside, the 3 Rivers Associa-
ton sold several cars of cannery
asparagus to canneries in Ontario,
Canada, British Columbia and Ore
gon. Mr.. Lampson reports that
these later sales to distant Gamer
les were at advanced prices over
the earlier sales. He points out that
this development of new cannery
outlets at advanced prices will un-
doubtedly have a material effect
on the prices that will be bid for
Kennewick asparagus for canning
purposes next season. Development
of markets ahead of the supply IS
fundamental to the success of any
industry. The 3-Rivers report
shows an average of &c per pound
to the community for cannery as
paragus.
Many growers are inquiring
about the prospects for additional
paintings of asparagus. The re-
turns on April asparagus have
been very satisfactory practically
every year. This together with the
recent development of cannery out
lets for May asparagus indicates
that heavy increase in planting
in the Kennewick district can be
sold at very good prices to the
grower.

CENAToR ARTHUR CAPPER of

CENATOR ARTHUR CAPPER of
Kansas wants the farm board
to buy 100000 bushels of wheat.
in addition to that already pur-
chased, and he put his plan before
President Hoover. The Chief Ex-
ecutive, however, had just had a
talk with Secretary of Agriculture,
Hyde, who has returned from trip
to the wheat belt and who has un-
derstood to be opposed to such a
scheme as Capper proposed. So the
President declined to approve the
plan, though he told the Kansan he
was anxious to relieve the plight
of the wheat growers.
Chairman Leggee of the farm
board made public his correspond
ence with Governor Reed of Kan
sas who criticized the boards plan
for reduction of wheat acreage and
criticized its activities or inactiv-
tiles. In his letter Mr.. Legge
makes it plain that the grain sta
bilization activities of the board
have undergone no appreciate
change in politics in spite of the
charge of its having
broken the market and caused a
record-breaking slump in wheat.
