Sooner or later something must be done
about the ever rising water table in the Gar
den Tracts. It's getting so now that shortly
after the irrigation season starts cellars in
that district begin to fill with seepage wa
ter. It would seem a most opportune time,
what with low wages and the unemployment
question becoming vexatious, to tackle this
problem. It will not be difficult job, mere
" the installation of couple lines of drain
tile. But the work could be done advantag-
eously this fall.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1931-10-29

While the irrigation district elections are
more than month away, still it is not too
early to begin to consider some of the prob
lens which the district faces. With the en-
largements and alterations in both bitches
being undertaken, it would appear that of
all periods this coming year will mark the
need of thoroly competent engineer in
charge of the projects. No two-bits an hour
man can possibly be qualified to handle work
as important to this community as this will
be. There can be permitted no experiments,
no untried theories and no shipshod work
manship. Errors and incompetent work will
prove entirely too expensive to the district
in it's later operation. And farmers alone are
not the only ones intensely interested in the
work to be done. It is just as important to
the urban citizens as it is to the man who
buys the larger measure of water. The sue
cessful operation of the ditch will rest large
~ upon the calibre of the man who will have
charge of the work for the next year. It will
not be economy to hire a Cheap" man to
handle the districts business at this stage.
This is no time to be penny wise and pound
foolish"
In the matter of economy it would appear
far wiser to hire first-class man and have
him manage the affairs of both districts.
Such an arrangement should prove of advan-
tage of both districts and save duplication
of overhead and equipment.

GRAIN FUTURES
MOVE UPWARD
ON BULL NEWS
All Options Reflect Strong
Gains at Liverpool;
Trade Active.
BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE
United Press staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-Gains at
Liverpool in the major fractions
exerted bulhsh tone to the Board
of Trade today and all grains
opened unchanged to one point
higher.
September wheat was up q cent
at the opening and the other
months showed higher gains. Corn
was up in the fractions and oats
showed small gains for December.
Higher Prices Expected
At the opening wheat was q to l
cent higher; corn was up Il to 4
cent and oats were unchanged to
4 cent higher. Provisions were weak
with losses of several points.
The talk of price imitation due
to depreciation of foreign moneys
was expected to have its effect in
the wheat market today. Traders
saw extremely favorable signs in
the gains at Liverpool after the
OPCA4A3S anu O11C O9-UOlIlI Use III
cotton on the British mart. Ex-
pectations were that prices would be
higher on the Board of Trade open
ing today, with a broader export
demand.
Corn Trade Cheerful
Deliveries of 1,61S,OOO bushels of
September corn Wednesday had a
depressing effect on that month, but
the deferred deliveries were not so
adversely affected as was predicted.
Traders in this pit still eyed the
trend of wheat, and corn was ex-
pected to react sympathetically with
the major grain.
Oats were firm, but trade was
light with locals limiting their buy
ing on the current month. Traders
expected this grain to follow the
others unless liquidation set in
after the opening.
