OIJEEN LILIACEAE
OPENS SEASON
IN THIS STATE.
New Sovereign Reigns for Day
at State House; First Crop of
Season Gets Publicity for
Kennewick

Have you ever heard of Queen
Liliaceae?
Possibly not, for she has just been
crowned and is the first of her line.
In ordinary life Queen Liliaceae is
Known by the name of Marian Glea-
aon. She was crowned and reigned
for one day-and at the state capt.
tol.
Cleopatra knew men. Her campaign
for the affections of julius Caesar
and Marc Antony are familiar to all.
The lure of her beauty, her charm,
her subtle ways and honeyed tongue
have been the theme of song and
story.
But there was something else be-.
sides the magnificence of this beaut-
iful uueen-she was lavish and gra-
cious hostess. Trust Cleo to know
that the way to a mans heart is thru
his stomach.
Caesar and his followers, reclining
at her banquet tables, were enchant-
with a new delicacy she placed be-
fore them. They called it "Lilia-
ceae." We moderns call it asparagus.
Delightfully."- they took this tender veg
etable back to Rome, where it was
carefully cultivated and soon became
the favorite of that sensation-seek-
ing people.
To celebrate the return of spring
and to welcome the season of fresh
asparagus, number of the daily
newspapers on the coast have inaug-
urated a plan to have each new crop
as it arrives announced by a "Queen."
Knowing Kennewick to be the center
of the asparagus section of the state
and the first to produce it, it was nat
ural that Kennewick be asked to sup
ply the first of the new crop as well
as queen to present it to the states
highest officer.
Miss Gleason was chosen. for this
honor. She was treated as royalty
should be treated, was taken to Olym-
pia yesterday, where she presented the
governor with the first long, green
asparagus of the season. Her pic
lures will appear some time this week
in the coast papers.

BERRY GROWERS
WANT TO FORM
ANOTHER CODE
Seek Government Contro I of
Minimum Prices on Early
Product; May Cover State
Next Year ~,

The strawberry growers held their
second code meeting Tuesday night at
the Valley grange hall with Mr.. Bro
due of the state department of agri-
culture present, who explained in de-
tail the new code law as applied to the
strawberry growing industry.
In view of the short time before
harvest, Mr.. Brodus suggested that
the Kennewick-Pasco district organ
ize local code this year and as To-
Called efforts spread rapidly he
thinks state code can be worked out
for next year.
A local code can be drawn up to
control all essentials of the strawber-
ry business, such as grades, varieties
and prices. A local committee may
be appointed to establish market
price daily in order to eliminate buy
ers from playing local associations
against each other.
A sign up of 81 percent of the
growers of district representing 81
percent of the acreage is necessary
before a code can be organized. A
vote in favor of a code carried by a
substantial margin both in number Of
growers and acreage.
1t was the sentiment of the meet
ing that if good price can be main
tanned for the first ten days of the
season when there is susually no out
side competition, that a local code
will make strawberry growing in
Kennewick good business again.

COUNTY AGENT
PREPARED FOR
FARMERS LOANS
Applicants Must Show Cooper
alton with AAA Program; $25
to $3.50 Loaned for Crop
Production

The Kennewick Courier-Reporter
has just received word that an emery
ency crop loan has been opened at the
county agricultural agents office and
farmers desiring loans should apply
there. ~ a.A
According to the regulations under
which the crop loans are to be made
this year, any farmer who secures a
loan must obtain q statement from the
county production council, where one
exists, that he does not intend to in
crease his acreage or production in vi
olation of the Agricultural Admins
tration program.
In counties where a county pro-
duction council has not been set up,
before any application for a loan will
be considered the farmer who is ap-
plying will have to give satisfactory
evidence that he is cooperating with
the production control program of
the Agricultural Adjustment Admin
istration. M -
The maximum amount Of an emery
ency crop loan that may be obtained
by any one individual is $3.50, the
minimum is $25.
Applications for loans in any
amount from $25 to $3.50 may be ac-
copied by the emergency crop loan
office provided the farmer does not
have sufficient security to obtain
loan elsewhere.
A farmer applying for $50 or more
must first make application to the
Production Credit Association for a
loan from it. Rejection of this appli-
cation by the Production Credit Assoc
citation will be considered sufficient
evidence that other credit is not avail
able and the applicant may then make
application to the emergency crop
loan office.
