A BETTER SYSTEM

The potentiaities of the local irrigation dis.
trict, as has been repeatedly pointed out, are,
enormous. Its assets are such as are possessed by
quate to meet all possible demands.
In order to bring these potentialities to fruiton
however, long program, carefully prepared
and skillfully executed, must be employed
The work OF a great corporation is not done
by the owners They confine themselves to the
definition of company policies and mark the goal
to be reached. 10 carry out the details of the or
ganlzation and to supervise it's efforts an execu--
tive, trained in the business and known for his.
efficacy in guiding individuals in their abors, is
hired. TO him given the means of attainment
and the responsibility for accomplishment The
mark has been named. 1t is up to him to get there
A school district is composed of the taxpayers
who support it, the children who are benefited by
it, the teachers who work for it and the schools
board which acts the link between the tax
payers and the institutions. But, bringing into
cohesion and overseeing the details of such dis
trict is the superintendent trained to his work
without whom the whole plan would fall far
short OF success by the lack of trained leadership
The analogy between a school corporation
and an irrigation district tells the tale.
Every other irrigation district i'm the state has.
a manager, just as every school system has it's
superintendent.
1t this district is to forge ahead it is important
that manager be employed, a man trained in
the work OF handling irrigation water, a man who
understands his work from experience and who
can oversee all the small details so necessary to-
the success OF every irrigation district

COMMUNITY HALL NEEDED

The crowded conditions at the Saturday night
dances particularly last Saturday night-have
certainly shown the need of community hall in
this community hall large enough to accom-
modate large crowd in comfort
Liberty hall serves nicely for small party
and the community is fortunate in having it at
it's disposal, but much of the pleasure of the eve
ming is taken when those who dance are con-
stanty jostled and trod upon by the other dancers
and, having danced, have no place to rest between
numbers, as there is not available space for more
than a few seats.
For other functions too, band concerts plays
and similar entertainments, much larger audi
forum than now available is essential
A community is judged to a great degree by it's
recreatlOnal centers, since it is to them we take
our guests for entertainment One who has spent
an evening breathing fetd air aternated with
cold blasts when door was opened for venta-
ton and has been smothered in small hall is not
apt to take away very kindly remembrance of
the community.
community hall adequate to serve our needs
could easily be built. The foundation and floor
could be laid this summer and open air dances
and band concerts enjoyed until winter when
the floor could be covered for another season
when the walls and roof would be erected The
local clubs and social groups could it as head
quarters and share in it's erection and mainten-
ance A permanent home for the library could be-
included Church meetings too large for the local
churches could be held in such hall and eniov
the advantages of more room and larger Kitchen
building which could he used during the two
or three years of it's gradual erection would prove
a boon to the community common, pleasant
meeting ground, always available and ample.

Our hero was bit reticent concern

but he states that he was too young
at the time to know where. His youth

The
Safety Valve
Editor, White Bluffs Spokesman:

EDITOR, White Bluf1S spokesman:
Recently an article appeared in your
paper in reference to the procedure of
the Yakima Valley Production Credit
Association. In this article appeared
some things which are not essentially
the facts.
I believe that your article was writ
ten with the thought Of giving your
community valuable and authentic
news, and am sure that you vii! give
this correction the same publicity that
the other article received,
First, It Is not true that an appraisal
fee deposited with the Association will
expedite the inspection. except IN exc
trene cases. Owing to the fact that
Hanford and White Bluffs are re-
moved some distance from the Yaki-
ma Office, they have placed me In this
territory to give the growers advice
on making out their loans and flnan-
cial statements and to inspect the ma
jority of these loans before the appli-
cations are sent to the Yakima office.
This procedure was set up here by the
Association in an effort to expedite
the handling of the applications for
loans from the Hanford- White Bluffs
section. Only in a few instances have
the Association seen fit to ask that an
inspection fee be deposited before the
inspection is made. There has been
quite a volume of these applications
!, filed with me in the White Bluffs hotel
and practically all of them have been
| inspected within one day after being
| handed to me.
In no interview that I have ever
given "has it been my intention to
leave the impression" that it was more
difficult to obtain loan through the
Yakima Valley Production Credit As
| ISOLATION than it was through the Re-
| The Yakima Valley Production Credit
| Association is new organization and
do not myself know all of their loan
requirements.
The source of the funds to the Re
gional Agricultural Credit Corporation
were governmental and the source of
| the funds available to the Yakima
Valley Production Credit Association
are from the sale of bonds and deb
entures offered by the Federal Inter
mediate Credit Bank, which are bought
| largely by private capital.
In conclusion, I wish to say that l
| am sure that it is the desire of the
| Yakima Valley Production Credit As
| ISOLATION and my own personal desire
to serve this community to the best
of our ability and expedition in the
| handling of their applications for ag-
! ricultural loans.

Questions and Answers
Explain Growers Code
Continued from page u

Continued from page y
ment might work out to the benefit
of the grower as well as the dealer.
We criticise the agreement in that,
from the growers standpoint, he, the
grower, is placed in the position of a
charity patient. 1t seeks to establish
fair trading methods among the hand
lers on the presumption that the
handlers will graciously permit por-
ton of their profits to filter through
to the grower Is that presumption in
accord with your knowledge of human
nature?
During the second week of October,
1888, several handlers entered the field
for the cash purchase of Winesaps.
The following prices were offered at
Hanford
Size XF Fancy
125 and larger ................$1.00 S 80
138-163 Observation-Disclosures. .85 IS
l75-216 .............................. .65 so
G grades, 1885 and larger, SOC per box
These prices are much below the
code sale prices and are below cost
of production. Factors" for the Han
ford growers who were obligated to
the RACE rendered the alternative of
moving the fruit into cold storage at
once if the above prices were not &C
ceptable, although their verbal induce
ment in securing contracts for hand
ling this fruit was that this early fruit
would be put on the market direct
from common storage.
In short, the code opened the OPP
portunity for the handler to buy in
an open, competitive market and sell
IN a protected market, business op-
portunity that was promptly grasped.
We have been unable to get data
showing how much fruit was thus
bought, at prices far below code, but
the amount was doubtless very great.
We believe that a growers code could
be established that would provide a
minimum price to the grower some
what above cost of production.
@: Why not amend the present code
to include SO per cent growers on the
Control Committee and /or fix therein
a minimum code price for growers?
A: We're for it. Efforts are being
made along that line. If the present

There will be no school on Friday,
April 10, not because we are super

each PERSONS life becomes individual,

within his own power, if he will but
