vision, Chancellor Heinrich Bruen.
ing and Foreign Minister DR.
Julius Curtius of Germany ar
rived in England today to pre-
pare Britain and the world for
q moratorium on reparatlons

During their conversations with
Prime Minister J. Ramsay Mac

Arthur Henderson, the German
statesmen are expected to pre-
sent facts and figures designed
to show Germany has no course
but to seek some sort Of i'm
mediate relief from the burden
Of reparati0ns.
~ Halt Due on Transfer
The money will continue to be
raised in Germany, but under
Bruening'S plan, will not be trans
4erred to the creditor nations.
"a It was understood Bruening and
GilrtiuS had virtually abandoned
hcpe of British sponsorship of the
eocalled Henderson plan," under
which Germany was to propose a
flat 80 per cent cut in the repa.
yAtions schedule as provided for
Under the Young plan.

A marked improvement in the
poultry outlook is likely to occur
next winter as result of fewer
layers and the probable improve
ment of the business situation. AS
the result Of under consumption in
1880, and a slight increase in pro-
duction, storage eggs accumulat-
ed and had to be forced on the
market in the face of heavy fresh
receipts and low prices. On Febru-
airy 1, case eggs totaled $4,000
cases as compared to 249,000 for
the five years average in United
States. With storage operators re-
Numbering their losses of last win
ter, fewer eggs going into the
hatcheries and the increasing fresh
receipts due to the continued mild
weather, the outlook for the first
six months of 1881 is none to fav-
orable.
The number of hens in farm
flocks averaged 1916 on January /,
1881 as compared to 90.6 a year
ago. There was a slight increase
in commercial poultry sections,
which on the Pacific coast was
large enough to be a factor in in
,reasing its egg receipts in New
York. Meanwhile consumption has
broken records for some time as a
result of the volume of fresh re-

1881 ASPARAGUS CROP DE-
PENDS ON QUALITY
PRODUCTION

Preliminary estimates Of aspar-
agus acreage available for 1881
cuttings show an increase Of about
2 per cent over that harvested in
1880 and an increase of % per cent
over the five year average, says
Robert Cowan, extension market
ing economist, Pullman.
There appears to be an increase
of three per cent in the early and
one per cent in the late groups ov-
er the acreage of last year, ac-
cording to the U. S. bureau of ag-
riculture. The acreage of this crop
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1931-04-02

has increased from $4,000 acres in
1925 to 1890 in 1890. The 1891
acreage is estimated at $1,000.
The canning acreage in the Delta
district of California has increas-
ed from $4,000 acres in 1926 to
81 900 acres in 1880.
Washington has increased her
acreage from 720 acres in 1925 to
1910 acres in 1880, with an esti-
mate of 1880 acres in 1881. Indi-
cations are that the high quality,
green asparagus produced in WASH
ington will continue to increase in
acreage as long as growers and
shippers maintain their high STAN
dard packs to insure market out
let's.

Rapid adjustments are occurring
in the poultry industry through
heavy culling and the decreased
number of chicks to be Matched
this spring as the result Of ex-
tremely low egg prices, according
to r. M. Turner, extension econo-
mist, State College of Washington.
Many discouraged poultrymen are
already out of business and sur
veys of February poultry schools
indicate 81 percent reduction in
the number of chicks to be raised
as compared with last year. Sew
eral large poultry counties indicate
a reduction of about a third in
the number of chicks to be raised.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1931-04-02

ceipts and attendant low prices.
Many poultrymen are faced with
the problem Of financing chicks
and the feed to raise them this
spring. Lowered food prices bright
en- this problem. If pullets are not
raised this year, the poultryman
suffers from the lowered volume
of business and needs considerable
capital to again increase his flock
to normal proportions. Poultrymen
are advised to consider normal re-

Gilhead was never denuded of its
forests as was Judea, and, as q
