GROWERS VOTE
NO SPUD CODE
Five to One Against OPP
Grating This Year, Is
Result of Poll

There will be no potato code this
year, apparently. A questionnaire
sent to all growers in this locality
brings back the information that
the plan has not found favor
among a majority of the spud men,
the vote being 126 against operat-
ing this year and &c in favor of it.
Secretary Muldrow is turning
over the books the code committee
used last year to Director Walter
Robinson at Olympia, together
with the results of the poll of the
growers. The plan last year had
for its purpose the orderly distri-
button of the crop for the purpose
of maintaining the price. Operation
costs were assessed growers at the
rate of two cents per hundred
weight. Owing to the peculiar con-
iitions prevalent last year, with
the drought complications, full re-
suits were not experienced.

NEW CANNERY
RIJILDING NEAR
COMPLETION.
Vacancies on Board Filled by
appointment of A. T. Be

Cornwell; Race Visits

Two new Kennewick business
uren are now "wrassling" with
nroblems confronting the local can
merry, their temporary appoint
ments having been made following
the resignation last week of A. Z.
Anon and w. S. Green. A. 7. Be
lair and F. H. Visger are the APP
pointees, with William Cornwell
filling the vacancy created by the
resignation of E. S. Mcdonald
some weeks ago.
Work on the new building is be-
ing pushed to completion and the
iob Of dismantling the machinery
for transfer to the new building is
we'll under way. The work will be
completed in ample time to handle
the first receipts of the cannery
grass this spring.
Other developments in the can
merry situation were brought out
BY the visit yesterday of ]. a..
Race, who acted as manager for
the plant here last year. Mr.. Race
las been in Portland since last
fall, attempting to regain his
health.
On his trip to Kennewick he brot
an order for $4,000 cases of aspar-
agus from an eastern firm. The
contract was upon the stipulation
that he superintend the pack. This
order alone would require all the
cannery grass this district is like
" to produce this year, requiring
about 600 tons, Mr.. Race stated.
No arrangement was arrived at
between him and Mrs. Kitten,
however, and he returned to Port
land yesterday. Before he left he
stated that other interests were
seeking entry into this district and
that he expected to see another
cannery started mot so far from
here, either"
He further stated, however,
that he would be sorry to see an
other processing plant started
here at the present time, as there
was only barely sufficient tonnage
to permit one plant to operate on
asparagus profitably. He said
this district could we'll concentrate
On three principal cannery pro-
ducts-asparagus, tomatoes and a
new variety of corn which h id
been developed at the Prosser Ex-
pertinent station.
Mr.. Race stated that he was GER
tain that this district was becom-
ing more and more "cannery mind
cd" and that he was confident that
from now on such an institution
would become permanent part Of
the community.

Thursday of Next Week,
Instead of Wednesday;
Delightful Plot

The Kennewick high school glee
clubs will present their musical
comedy "The Belle of Barcelona"
Thursday, March 81 instead of on
Wednesday as formerly planned. It
has delightful plot. The Span
ish Nobleman, the villain played
by Everett Clifford, tries to get
the ambassadorship for Senior de
Monteso, Lowell Higley, under
false pretenses and with the as
surance if he does obtain it for
him Senorita de Montero, Martha
Chellis, will become the bride of
the nobleman. This is much
against the wishes of Lieutenant
Wright, Charles Peter, who is
checking up affairs for Uncle Sam.
He is in love with Miss de Mon
terra as she is with him. He inves-
tigates the nobleman's business
and finds the frauds apd shows
them and he becomes the prospec-
tive son-in-law of the de Monteros.
Marcia Vincent plays the part
of the English governess Of Miss
de Montero; Wilson Talbot, the
Irish friend of Lieutenant Wright;
Verne Foraker, the Spaniard, Emil
10; Lorene Belair, Sonora de Mon
tero; Lorraine Giles, younger
daughter Of the de Monteros and
the other parts taken by Marian
Gleason, Athol Jones, Robert
Stradford, Peggy Burton and
Wayne Smalley. Dancing choruses
and Sailor drills add much inter-
est. Remember Thursday, March
21 at the Liberty theatre.

JUDGE FLORENCE e. ALLEN
Third Vice President; N. p. w.

National Business w m m s
Week for Business and Profession
al Women in the State of Wash
ington opens March II. Joining
with the clubs in the other AZ
states, Alaska and Hawaii, which
makes up the National Federation
of Business and Professional Wo-
mems clubs, the Washington state
clubs will again register their unit
ed support Of the 1885 National
program of the Federation which
aims for Economic Security for
all men and women, according to
Florence Ring, publicity chairman
of the local club.
THE purpose of National Bust
ress Women's Week is not only to
focus attention on and to point out
the accomplishments of the largest
organization of Business and Pro-
6essional Women in the world, but
it is also our aim to mobilize right
thinking people of our cities and
communities to study social a n d
economic problems and promote
human well being" states Miss
Evangeline Starr, Seattle, presi-
dent Of the Washington State Fell
Grafton.
And to this end we will sponsor
public relations, dinners, inter-club
meetings and encourage other
meetings where men and women
can meet for an intelligent discus
sion and exchange of these social
and economic prob ems Of today"
In interpreting the Economic Sc
curity program of the National
Federation, Miss Starr informs
that the National Federation fav-
ors unemployment insurance, old
age pension, the repeal Of section
213-A of the Economy bill (which
dlScriminates' against women),
election and appointment of wo-
nent to public office; their re-em-
ployment as an aid to private bus
mess and the promotion of public
discussions of social and economic
problems"
Knowing" Miss Starr con-
tinues, "that there can be no Sc
curity for all until that time when
men and women meet on equal
terms and are given the same OPP
portunities and privileges the state
federation most emphatically fav-
ors the development Of opportun-
tiles for women in the business,
professional and social fields. We.
believe that every man and woman
should have the fullest possible OPP
portunities to develop whatever
capacities, whatever talents they
may have. We believe only when
that time comes shall we have So
cial justice and security for all.
We are asking all people of h
state to join with US in bringing
this straight-thinking, courageous
program to reality"

TOM GROWERS
AGAIN OPERATE
UNDER A CODE
Planting Quotas Set to Cut
Down Intended Paintings;
Only One District Against
Proposed Plans

Melon and tomato growers of
Washington and Oregon will oper-
ate under a marketing code again
this year, according to word given
out today by Harry Hampton,
member of the joint control COM
mittee.
Planting quotas will be allotted
and all growers will be required to
use the stamps on their shipments.
Refunds will be made to those who
comply with the code rulings.
Mr.. Hampton's statement fol-
lows: The state joint control COM
mittee of Oregon Washington mel
on and tomato marketing agree
ment and the state control board
have adopted the following rules
governing quota allotments 70 r
planting of melons and tomatoes.
This action was taken after hold
ing meetings in every producing
area in the two states. This plan
was approved in every meeting ex-
cept one. The allotment of acre
age quotas is being done to dis
courage an unprecedented intended
planting of crops under the agree
ment.
The acreage control program
levies an assessment for benefit
payments. These assessments are
to be paid by all growers, both
those who have not exceeded their
quota and those who have. These
assessments. SO collected are to be.
refunded to growers who do not ex-
coed their quotas.
Growers may choose any three
of the four past years in setting
their quotas, each crop to be listed
separately. Add acreage planted
on selected years for class sepa-
rately. Divide total by three. The
result is the total for that class. If
the grower has not grown for three
years, divide by three anyway. This
means that a two-year grower gets
tWo-thlrds OF his tWo-year average
and a one-year grower gets one
third of his one-year average.
New growers are permitted one
half acre in each class without PEN
atty. The agreement makes no re-
strictions on paintings of tomatoes
exclusively for commercial cam
reries. Any diversion from such
will be violation of the
agreement and cause for forfeiture
of refund.
This committee will be announc-
ed next week, also the time and
place where the local committee
will hold meetings. Growers who
do not care to appear before the
committee personally may fill out
the application blanks which will

LEGION KILLED
BONUS, SAYS
zANDT

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. II GIN.
S.).-The charge that Commander
Frank N. Belgrano and other
leaders of the American Legion
were personally responsible" for
the failure of Congress to pay
the soldiers bonus was hurled
here today by Commander-in,
Chief James E. Van zandt, of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars.
In his annual report to the
veterans who are assembled here
for the thirty-Sixth annual ma
tional encampment, Commander
Van zandt declared:
Had our brother OrganiZa-
tion, the American Legion, CO.
operated with us in our effort to
obtain payment of the balance
of the adjusted service certifi-
Gates, little doubt remains that
a sufficient number Of votes
could have been mustered to
override the presidential veto in
the Senate, thereby settling this
question for all time"
Van Zandt referred to two spe
cific occasions when the V. F. w
invited Commander Belgrano tc
conferences for the purpose OF
unifying influence in behalf of the
bonus, and on both occasions
Commander Belgrano declined tc
accept the invitations, he said.
