Water In Ditch
For Dormant Spray

The No. 2 pump at the Coyote pump
ing station was started Monday to sup
ply water to those under the ditch
for the dormant spray. Sufficient wa
ter will be pumped into the ditch to
supply this need until Saturday, when
water will be available for irrigation.
The irrigation district has posted no.
tees calling for bids for hauling stubs
for the transmission line from the
railroad to the poles along the line. No
time limit has been fixed when the
bids must be in the hands of the dis
trict board as it is not known when
the car will arrive, but it is expected
some time within the next week. Bids
are limited to those receiving water
under the project, with the earnings to
be applied on water charges, with the
exception that the district will furnish
sufficient cash to cover gas and oil.
The stage of water In the river has
remained more or less stationary for
the past week and the amount of
energy generated at the Priest Rapids
power plant continues around $50 XIV.

West Siders Entertain
Local Sportsmen

Fred Gilhuly, Edmund Anderson
and j. NJ Shinn have interesting
stories to tell Of their recent trip to
Seattle as guests of the west siders at
a salt water fishing party The east
siders, of whom there were about 259
enthusiastic hunters and fishermen
from this side of the mountains, were
checked in at the washington Athletic
Club and assigned lockers. They were
then entertained at d buffet supper
followed by smoker at which boxing
and wrestling matches were presented.
Surprisingly enough, instead of re-
firing at the close of the athletic
events, they were, at about 1870, served
breakfast so that an early start to the
fishing grounds might be made.
Each east slider was entertained by
a west slider and taken to Holmes Har-
Dor where $50 boats were ready for SER
vice. Conditions were not right for
salmon in the morning and only a few
were caught, but the cod, salmon trout
and other fish kept the anglers busy.

School And Irrigation
Districts Call Warrants

Benton county will make it's largest
warrant call in many months April
8, when $4,000 in warrants will be
retired, Louis P. Kelly, deputy trea-
surer, announced in Wednesdays va
kima Morning Herald.
The warrants are those issued by
school and irrigation districts, he said
and the money to retire them will be
from general tax collections, funds OBJ
tanned when railroad taxes that have
been under litigation were paid, and
from the state and county school APP
preparations, Kelly said.
Most of the warrants, which are
from virtually every district in the
county, are held by Benton county
residents, the deputy explained. Tax
collections this month have been fairly
good despite the banking holiday and
the legislation that gives an extension
of time to pay taxes Kelly said.

flooding the land in hot weather or by
absolutely drying out the land for a

Ownership of
The Spokesman
Changes Hands
GEORGE r. CHASE PURCHASES
INTEREST OF E. j. O'LAREY
IN NEWSPAPER

With this issue, the ownership Of
the Spokesman changes hands George
r. Chase, who has been associated as
partner in its publication for the
last two years, has purchased the In
terest of E. j. O'Larey, the transfer
being effective April l. The sale In
cludes both the printing plant itself
and the building in which it is housed.
Mr.. O'Larey purchased the Spokes-
man from Angus Hay April l, 1918,
just eighteen years ago. At that time
the paper was published in the ole
town near the river. In the summer OF
1916 it was moved with the rest OF the
business houses and residences to the
present location of the town and until
the. fall of 1928 occupied the building
that was moved up from the river ana
that is now Judge j. @. Lloyd's law
office.
The Spokesman was established by
Angus Hay in 1907, the first issue be-
ing published August 2 of that year.
During that first year it was published
in a tent, the type being set entirely
by hand, and was printed on the old
Washington hand press that was re-
placed several years ago by the big CYL
inder press now in use.
The linotype machine that is now
part of the equipment was added
two years ago when Mr.. Chase became
associated with the firm.
The Spokesman has always enjoyed
the reputation of being a live, up-to-
date country weekly, a true reflection
of the community it serves. Under the
new management, this high standard
will be continued and, quite likely,
improved.
Mr.. Chase will be assisted in the
publication of the paper by Mrs. Chase.
Mr.. O,Larey from now on will devote
his entire time to his work as rural
carrier.

party last Thursday evening when
friends of Mrs. w. r. Kirby were in

After hilarious greetings had been ex-
changed everyone settled down to an
evening of pinochle, four tables being
in play. Mrs. Bernhardt Moede and

OF all, Mr.. and Mrs. r. E. Gibbins,
both well-known for their exceptionally
good game of bridge, made the lowest.

cogee was served at beautifully decor
ated little tables before the party broke

WHEREAS, on the day following the
Inauguration of President Roosevelt,
Louis A. johnson, national commander
of the American Legion, pledged the
members of that organization to give
their utmost loyalty and help to the
new President and his administration,
in the difficult, vital and important
problems with which it is now faced;
and
WHEREAS, Congress has given the
President authority to put into effect
all economies which he considers nee
essary to restore the financial stability
of our country, which economies are
of direct and vital interest to the mem
bers of the American Legion, in that
they are fraught with gravest concern
to the disabled veterans, and
WHEREAS, the American Legion,
nevertheless, has every faith and con-
fidence in the discretion, fairness and
justice of the President in his treat
ment of this problem, involving as 1t
does in many instances, the need for
compassion and mercy; and
WHEREAS, the members of the
American Legion feel that the common
welfare demands that all loyal and pa
triotic citizens give their whole heart
ed assistance and support to the Presi-
dent in this time of national emef-
gency:
BE IT THEREFORE, RESOLVED:
That John Lindblad Post No. Il, of

| ident in his effort to work out a just

The Raising of Corn
i Has Many Advantages

The raising of corn has many adj
vantages and fits we'll into the CROP
ping system of the general irrigation
farm, points out H. P. Singleton, SUI
perintendent of the irrigation branch
system at Prosser, in bulletin No. 278,
'The Production and Utilization of
Corn Grown Under Irrigation in Wash
ington.'
Most of the operations in producing
corn do not interfere with those nee
essary to the raising of hay, pasture
or small grain crops. 1t does not re-
quire large capital outlay for ma
chinery, the amount of seed required
is small, and good seed may be Sc
cured at much smaller cost than fol
small grain or potatoes. The raising
of corn has another advantage in that
most of the labor in the production
and harvesting of the crop can be
handled by the farmer himself.
Thayer Yellow and Windus White
have outyielded all other early ma
turing varieties at the irrigation
branch station, but the later varieties
including Reid Yellow, Iodent, and
good local strains have been somewhat
superior in yield. In feeding trials the
local grown corn has proved to be just
as valuable as eastern corn, providing
both have been dried equally, according
to Mr. Singleton.
Since the demand for corn for live
stock and for poultry feeding in Wash
ington exceeds the local supply, corn
growing should be profitable for Wash
ington farmers under irrigation condi-
lions who are favorably located" states
Dean E. G. Johnson, director Of the
State College experiment station. I'm
many instances corn could replace po-
tatoes on the farm to great advantage"
Experimental work with corn has
been conducted at the irrigation branch
station at Prosser since 1922.
