nm Account of Late Grass
Season; Contracts Ready
for Signing

Nm account of the unusually Late
,.sson and the slow returns from
asnaragus and other early crops,
az BOARD of Columbia Irrigation
n NE has decided to postpone
the final payment date on the first
s ~ toll charge installments, each
fifteen days. May 18th, instead of
Nav LIST, will be the closing date
an the first payment and June 10
;rstaad of June, on the second
nayment. The third payment re-
mains due August first.
II is believed that many of our
ueople will get sufficient returns
m their asparagus and from 9TH
a. sources to meet the payments
as extended. This extension does
not mean that payments may be
permitted to drag Indefinitely

The signing of the new bond
settlement contracts is proceeding
rapidly, but there are many whose
contracts are ready who are me-
eIecting TO come in and sign. A
Strong effort is being made to
clean this matter up in May. 1t is
really most important that this be
attended to at once, and every
land owner is urged to take care
Of it. All contracts except those on
town lots are now ready at the
district office, and these will all
be ready in a very few days. Cards
are being sent out as the contracts
are finished. When you receive a
card, please bring your wife in
and get these contracts signed up
without delay. On account of their
community interest, wives must.
sign with their husbands. If you
can't get in during the day, call
I'D the secretary and he will be

Stretch of Oiling on UmatiIIa

1t is evident that immediate ac-
ton will be taken on the improve
ment of the Kennewick-P Plymouth
highway which the state highway
department is taking over this
summer. The call for bids is be-
ing published in this weeks issue
and the contracts will be let as
soon as the legal notice has been
given.
The work is to cost more than
the amount allowed by the legisla-
ture, but additions from other
sources and the possibility Of the
contract being let at figure low
er than the estimate will permit
the work to be undertaken. While
several routes for the Paterson
extension have been surveyed thru
this district, no word has been re-
ceived as to the departments de-
cision on the selection of the per-
manent highway location.

tions Are Serious Threat
to Farming Industry
You asked me to write you any
interesting developments following
the meeting at Washington, D. c.,
or in connection with the market
ing.
/ did not write you sooner be-
cause I had expected to he home
before this time, but now expect
to be working in the Eastern mar
kets here on our asparagus sales
until about the 1st of May, so I
am writing you a few high spots
that you may be interested in.
There were at the meeting at
Washington, DC, called by the
Federal Farm Board, twenty-five
delegates from various parts of
the country. After various studies
and committee work for two days
a committee Of nine were selected
to complete an organization set
up between the various coopera-
tives.
The unanimous sentiment at the
meeting showed very clearly that
the cooperatives see the necessity
of cooperating among themselves
and providing their contacts in the
markets on conservative bust
|ness-like basis. 1t was the general
thought to first develop substan-
tial contacts in the markets to sup
plement such substantial contacts
as some of the organizations al
ready have.
I was very much pleased to see
that the entire delegation were
agreed on two lines of thought:
First, that in terminal marketing
machinery should be developed
very gradually and substantially
and done pointly by the different
Operatives; secondly, that cooper
atives must ultimately develop
such contacts rather than depend
ing on selling at shipping points
to large powerful combination of
buyers.
Since the meeting at Washing
ton, D. c., have spent my time
In the various eastern markets
handling our Three Rivers aspar-
agus sales. While doing this work
] have seen very clearly some
striking illustrations and glaring
illustrations of how some of the
large powerful combinations of
buyers break the terminal mar
kets on agricultural products by
having their Western buying Of
fices induce the shipper to reduce
the price far below what the mar
kets will stand in order to get the
cash fob sale.
1t would take volumes to give
all of the angles of this second
problem that / have mentioned, but
upon my return I will be glad to
give you as much information as
you can use on this second point,
namely, the danger to the produc-
er of letting the large powerful
buying interests name the price at
shipping point rather than produc-
ers' cooperatives providing their
own distribution and selling mach
inery.
IL the growers allow themselves
to become in a large measure de-
pendent upon fob. sales to these
large buying combinations they
will know very little about what
the markets will actually stand ex-
cept what is furnished them by
such buyers, and worst of all, they
would have no outlets to the mar
kets except through these fob.
buyers. ,s
will be glad to discuss this
more at length upon my return. I
want to say in closing, if the
growers allow themselves to get
into such condition as mentioned
above, they will need the Lord to
help them a lot worse than they do
now. viz se-s ,g:..

South leads the king of spades which West, the declarer, trumps with the eight of clubs. The nine of clubs Is led by the declarer, North discards of spade, dummy plays the three of clubs and South the six of clubs.
 The jack of clubs is then led, North discards a spade, East wins the trick with the king and South must discard. He cannot discard the queen of spades or the jack will be good in dummy, therefore the nine of hearts is discarded. The eight of hearts is led from dum- my, South must play the jack. and declarer wins the trick with the queen, and his ten of hearts is now good, and he has made his contract of six clubs doubled.
 When South won the king of hearts with his ace, if he had rec turned Q heart, the declarer should take the heart finesse, as due to South's double. he Is pretty well marked with the ace and jack of hearts.
