whites.
OF the total number of $3.50
managers Of farms. 92s were Ne
groes. 2.131 ether colored races
and b2.767 whites.
The report also shows that
during the period between 1920
aud 1880 there was q decrease
In the average acreage per COLI
ored farmer OF from 44.S acres
TO 42.6 acres. During the 30
years from 1910 to 1890 the av-
erage decrease amounted TO Al
acres. From 1910 to 1890, a
20-year period. the average acres
Of white farms increased 2S ae-
res, gain that Is equal to more
than half of the average acreage
In eolotad farms.
Increase A Possibility
In calling attention TO this sig
nifleant decrease in acreage In
colored-owned farms, which the
reports visualize as area more
than twice the size of the state
of Delaware. 1t points out that
under favorable credit conditions
and the restoration of higher
market values, there Is a great
possibility that this acreage will
greatly increase. Owners OF
farms are less likely to answer
the call to the Industrial centers
than tenant farmers.
In this connection It is also
worthy to note that only 29.9
percent OF the fully colored own
ed farms in the South are mort
gagged as compared with 1913 per
cent of those owned by all racial
groups In the United States.
Own Autos
That the number OF automo-
biles owned by colored farmers
compares favorably with those
owned BY whites Is also revealed
by the report. Taking the South
as whole, the average was one
auto for Al colored farmers as
compared with an auto for every
two white farmers. There were
4 .499 more automobiles than col
cred farm owners while among
whites there were 66iS37 more
farm owners than automobiles.

The Casa Loma orchestra under the direction of Glen Gray has been engaged to open the spring season at Lake Compounce Ball. room next Sunday night.

ASK STATE T. !.
TO SUPPLY
ALL MONEY
Chamber Endorses More to
Eliminate Road District
Levy; Oranges Favor Plan
Proposed s:

The elimination of all taxes on
real property for road purposes is
the object of a resolution adopted
this noon. The resolution asks the
by the local chamber of commerce
state to apportion an additional
cent from the state gas tax to be
used by the counties in maintain
ing the secondary roads.
Under the present set up the
state constructs and maintains the
primary highways and apportions
one-fifth of the gas tax money to
the 80 counties of the state for the
construction of the lateral or the
farm-to-market roads. This fund
is to be continued, but an addi-
tional cent is to be used to replace
the district road levy.
+ The move has received the con-
sideration and endorsement of
many Oranges and tax bodies and
is being argued in the road COM
mittees at the legislature at the
present time. Proponents state
that the result will be the cutting
down of the property tax levy and
at the same time having the coun-
ty roads kept up by the gas tax.
Generally it is agreed that the
new highway construction can be
curtailed under present conditions.
The same resolution is being
forwarded to the Oranges in Ben
ton county, with the request that
Pomona action be also taken.

TEST
TO BE GIVEN
IN VALLEY TOO
Finley and Hover Pupils May
Receive Free Examination
for tuberculosis Reactions
March 8 and 10

MISS LOIS watkins OF Seattle,
field secretary for the Benton
County tuberculosis League is in
Kennewick this week in the inter-
est of the tuberculosis clinics which
are to be held in Kennewick, Fin
ley and Hover schools, March 8
and 10.
Miss Watkins spoke on Wednes-
day at the general assemblies of
the high schools at Hover and Fin
ley. Preliminary arrangements
were made for the clinics, which
will consist of the Mantoux skin
tests for the detection of tubercu-
losis infection. DIR. S. L. Cox of Sc
attic, diagnostician for the Wash
ington Tuberculosis Association
will give the tests which are open
to all high school students who
have the written consent of their
parents.
"The Mantoux skin test" said
Miss Watkins, 'is the method
which is now in general use to de-
termine if a child has ever come in
contact with tuberculosis and is
the means Of discovering an in
lection which if neglected may la
ter result in active disease. The
high schools of Benton county are
a few of a selected number thru
out the state that are having the
opportunity to have their students
tested"
rTuberculosis is q germ dis
ease," continued Miss Watkins"
and not inherited as was COM
monty supposed. It is passed from
the sick to the well through close
contact and it is a disease of
childhood. The necessity of finding
the students who have come in con-
tact with persons suffering from
tuberculosis is apparent when we
appreciate this manner of spread
ing the disease.
Last year, 944 persons died in
the state of Washington from tu-
berculosis. Since tuberculosis is a
communicable disease it can be
prevented if those persons who
have been in contact with case
Of the disease can be discovered
early.
s'This is the main reason for
holding the high school clinics.
Every infected child should be To-
Gated before he is unfortunate
enough to develop tuberculosis"
These clinics are made possible
through funds from Christmas
Seals which were on sale last
month. Mrs. j. r. Ayers of Hover,
who is the County Chairman in
charge of the sale of seals, ex-
pressed her appreciation Of the
support of the community in buy
ing seals SO that clinics such as
the ones to be held here and the
educational work Of the Benton
County tuberculosis league may be
continued.
Miss Watkins, who directs the
health education program in the
schools of the. county for the Tu-
berculosis League, is making her
third visit to Kennewick and 9TH
er schools during the present
term.

GRASS YIELD
TO BE LARGER
THIS YEAR
Increased Tonnage and Acre
age Both Apparent; Rapid
ly Becoming Leading Prod
uct of District

Asparagus tonnage from the
Kennewick district is to be in
creased considerably this year, it
was learned here today. 81. w.
Desgranges, Big Y manager, said
approximately 200 acres of new
patches are to. be brought into
bearing this spring. He also said
it was reasonably sure the plant
ing program would continue to
some extent.
Shippers and growers of the re-
gion are said by dealers to have
a bright future outlook in aspara-
gus culture, due to superiority of
the product, low cost of produc-
ton and the early and long crop
ping season.
Desgranges declared asparagus
is fast becoming Leading agricul-
tural product here, and when a
permanent agreement can be ar
ranged between a cannery and the
producer, the industry will rapidly
become a big factor. The shipping
of fresh grass to points of market
consumption is also becoming of
more Importance as. the Kenne-
wick product becomes better
known for its quality, and as a
result is receiving greater de-
mand.
The cannery deal with the Wal
la Walla concern is being stimu-
lated as much as possible now in
an effort to have a, complete and
workable plan in force by the first
of the coming cutting season. In
the event an agreement of this
kind is worked out, the Kenne-
wick acreage as it now stands is
said to be barely sufficient to
supply the demand of both can
merry and market consumption.
This will call for additional acre
age and as the demand is increas-
ed Kennewick will naturally be-
come the hub of production. ~
Tentative plans now call for
erection of branch cannery here,
by the Walla Walla concern. This
branch would be constructed as
soon as developments at the main
house in Walla Walla would per-
init.
