washed his few dishes in the
stream, and lighting straight

the afterglow fade.
"You watch camp, Tip" he said

He chuckled, but there was no
mirth in the sound, Kerry thought.
He Judged that Sawyer had anoth-

aggressor and bit too aggressive

the queen dominated the board. Be-

ECONOMIST STUDIES
MARKETING GROUPS

WASHINGTON STATE COL
LEGE, Pullman.-How farmers in
Washington finance their coopera-
tive marketing organizations is re-
vealed in new bulletin being re-
leased this month by DR.. E. F
Dummeier, agricultural economist
at the State College of Washington
experiment station. The study COW
ers about ITO growers and produc-
iers' associations with membership
Rof 10000 or nearly one-half of the
farmers of the state.
1t is pointed out in the bulletin
that financing is one Of the most
| important problems to be faced by
the marketing groups, since they
find it necessary to make advances
to members for part or all of their
products before final payment has
been received by the association.
DR.. Dummeier has gathered figures
showing the amount of financing
needed in relation to the business
done by the cooperatives and de-
scribes some of the methods found
most successful in securing these
funds without bringing grief to the
organization. Taking the other side
of the problem, the writer discus
ses some practices that have caused
trouble or disaster to less successful
marketing associations.

Lettuce Growers
Face Bright Year
Coast Dealers Anxious To Con
tract 200 Acres In Okano-
gan Valley

Outlook for the raising of lettuce
in the Okanogan valley on a large
scale is very bright for the coming
year according to information re-
vealed here by G.. E. Davenport
Everett, agricultural development
agent for the Great Northern Rail
way company.
According to the information
two dealers of high repute on the
coast are anxious to contract zoe
acres each in the valley for lettuce
raising for the coming year. Mr.
Davenport plans to spend consider
able time in the valley next sum
mer supervising the raising and
harvesting of the crops.
This past summer Martin Wick
of Monse raised several acres OF
lettuce, and on car which he
shipped to Minneapolis received
$3.50 a crate at Minneapolis. Mr.
Wick netted around SO on his four
dozen crates, and about So on his
three dozen crates. In addition to
the car shipped Mr.. Wick hauled
some truckloads to Wenatchee,
Coulee Dam, Seattle and Spokane.
Believes 1t Profitable
The unusually early freeze in
October caused Mr.. Wick to lose
several carloads of lettuce, and at
that, Mr.. Wick figured he just
about broke even on his crop. Had
Mr.. Wick gotten it all off earlier
he figures that a profit of around
SO 900 would have been made.
Several valley ranchers have al
ready signified their intentions OF
raising lettuce this coming season
Among those are: Martin Wick
Monse, who expects to have about
80 acres; Joe Snider, Monse, Is
acres; Mr.. Johnson, south of Ok
anogan, 5 acres; Otto Wagner, Ok
anogan, several acres on some land
near Malott; Chas. Runbolz, Ma
lott, 40 acres; Roy Smith, Brewster,
40 acres; and the American Fruit
Growers, Bridgeport Bar, is con-
sidering about 100 acres, according
to Mr.. Davenport.

Emergency Set-Up
Stops Operations
RACE Loans More Than Nine
Million Dollars During Short
Existence; Small Losses

Its emergency job completed, the
Regional Agricultural Credit cor
poration of Spokane passed out OF
the picture on January l after hav-
ing loaned $9,348, PSI to 47OO Wash
ington farmers with loss of less
than one-third of one ger cent.
Set up in 1882 out of RECONSTRUCT
ton finance corporation funds to
meet the acute needs of agriculture
when other sources of credit had
largely broken down under strain
of the depression, the RACE came
to the rescue of many producers
who otherwise might have been
forced out of business. But as an
indication of the good faith and
spirit of appreciation that accom-
panied it's operations, Manager F.
A. Johnson reports that fewer than
dozen borrowers tried to evade
payment of their obligations.
This emergency government
lending service was replaced in
1884 with a permanent cooperative
credit system represented by seven
farmer directed production credit
associations located at Spokane
Walla Walla, Yakima, Wenatchee
Okanogan, Chehalis and Mount
Vernon.
Unlike the emergency RACE, the
permanently organized production
credit associations do not lend gov
eminent money. They obtain loan
funds by discounting the notes of
their stockholding members through
the Federal intermediate Credit
bank of Spokane. The credit bank
borrows it's funds from the invest
ing public by issuing short-term
debentures,

EVERY CITIZEN CAN HELP
STIMULATE TOURIST TRADE

SPOKANF,-T Western Rail
roads have decided to repeat their
successful advertising and promo
ton campaign to stimulate sum-
mer vacation travel according to
Ray v. Clark, president of the
Northwest Tourist association OF
Seattle.
This effective advertising and
sales effort upon the part Of the
railroads is going to exert ire
mendous leverage in hosting the
travel volume to the Pacific North
west this summer" predicts Mr..
Clark, land together with the eff
forts of the Northwest Tourist as
ISOLATION, other travel agencies and
the work of Individual Chembers of
Coccemce and boards of trade, the
Pacific Northwest will be more
widely, and more favorably known
than ever as a travel objective.
MIR. Clark suggests that individual
citizens of the Pacific Northwest
can help in this program of pro-
noting travel and putting the
Northwest on the tourist map of the
world by writing letters to friends
and relatives in the east and other
parts of the nation, giving them
sales talks" on the scenic attrac-
tions and splendors of the North
west.
Pennies spent in this way" said
Mr.. Clark, will do more than any
other form of advertising to turn
the tourist tide in this direction.

Stunned Animal
Escapes Hunter
Naches Man Fooled By Big Buck;
Gets One Prong And
Loses Tag

SEATTIlE-One of the best stor-
les of the last deer season in Wash
ington has just been uncovered by
State Game Protector A. w. Brown
of Yakima. Brown heard the story
from Tom Moore, Naches City,
hardware dealer, who relates the
following tale:
while hunting the Methcw
country in Okanogan county, lone
huntsman came into my camp late
one afternoon carrying single deer
antler which he claimed he had
shot off the biggest buck he had
ever seen. The woodsman said he
had jumped the deer, aimed at its
neck and fired, and had seen the
deer drop in its tracks. At the time
the hunter thought one of the ant
lers had broken off the bucks head
when it fell. He Immediately at
tached his big game seal to the
antler remaining on the bucks
head. Then he laid aside his gun,
drew forth his knife and prepared
to dress the huge deer. At this
stage the big buck, which had only
been stunned when it's antler was
shot off, regained full conscious
ness, leaped to its feet and dashed
into the brush before the astound-
ed hunter could reach his gun. The
unfortunate hunter was left without
a deer tag, and with only the sin
gle antler to prove his story"
