Wild Ducks Not Afraid
Of Pajama-C Clad Farmers

In theory the naming Of the Column
bia river as sactuary for migratory
Wild fowl is fine. In practice, it is be-
coming q bit bothersome to residents
along the river. The ducks, which now
number in the thousands, are becom-
ing pest to the farmers in the vicin-
ity. The ducks, especially on moon
light nights, come up into the fields
and eat the tender young shoots and
dig up the seed khich has been newly
planted. Some Of the farmers are
placing lighted lanterns in the fields
IN the hopes Of soaring the birds
away, but without much success.
They are becoming quite tame and no
longer go into a panic when an irate
tller OF the soil pops out in his silk
pajamas and shouts 'tBool"

Make Merry at Kiwanis

Nearly thirty Yakima business men
members of the Kiwanis club, came
to Kennewick Tuesday evening to hold
joint session with the Kennewick
and Pasco clubs. About an equal
number from the other side Of the
river were also in attendance.
The program was put on entirely
by the visitors, who brought their
own musicians and staged mock
trial in which M. M. Moulton was the
victim. He was accused of stealing
the bottom Of the Columbia river in
the neighborhood Of Bonneville and
his defense attempted to show. that
he didn't do it-not by damsite.
Anyway, the bunch had lot Of
fun, provided some fine entertain
ment and still more firmly cemented
the friendship which has grown up
between the various communities as
result of the inter-club meetings.
The Kiwanis district convention will
be held in Kennewick Ajril 9th at
which time representatives from the
clubs thruout the district will be pres
emit. A tentative program has been
outlined and it is expected that sever
al hundred business men and their
wives will attend.

ASPARAGUS

March is saw the first real Kenne-
wick grown asparagus shipped when
the Green Brothers of the Highlands
and John Bernath of East Kennewick
each brought in box for shipment.
The Green Brothers shipped thru the
Washington Early Crops and Bernath
thru the Big Y. The two were almost
a tie for the community as the Green
Brothers box arrived in town a few
minutes ahead of Bernath, and while
Bill Green was telling of being the
first, Mr.. Bernath arrived with his
box having spent some time finding
out If the local cannery was ready to
accept his box of asparagus.
The first box of asparagus was
shipped from Kennewick last Thurs
day, which was grown by M. Anardi
of the River Road, just this side of the
Richland bridge.
The asparagus is said to be OF ex-
cellent quality this year, and an ex-
tremely heavy yield Of first class
grass is expected. Some of this is
due to weather conditions, while much
of It is due to the care the beds have
received the last year or two.

Miss Gleason's visit to the Govern
or marks a concerted drive on the
part of those concerned with aspara-
CUES to call attention to the superior
flavor Of Washington-grown aspara-
gus.
Just what is asparagus? You may
be surprised to know that it is men,
Der of the Lily-of-the-Valley family.
Asparagus is one Of the earliest
spring vegetables-most welcome as
a relief to the somewhat limited diets
Of winter. Dieticians tell us that as
paragus is rich in mineral salts and
vitamons. AS matter of fact physi-
clans have specifically prescribed it
in the treatment Of nervous disorders
and heart ailments. The books say
that asparagus once was the favorite
dist of the ancient Romans. There is
even story that the irresistible Cleo
patra herself employed its appetiz-
ing charms to win visiting heroes. In
the United States only the spear of
the asparagus is eaten. In other parts
of the world it is frequently unharv-
ested until it has seeded. The seeds
are used for coffee and for fermenta-
ton into alcoholic spirits.
