1886 Nurse Crop Can
Now Be Harvested

1886 nurse crops sown with le-
gumes may now be harvested as hay
and such acreage shall be classified
as soil conserving provided a good
stand of the soil conserving crop
is obtained, in accordance to a wire
just received from Washington, D.
C.
This ruling was made because OF
the National drought emergency. 1t
is also now possible, where prectic-
able, to seed forage crops such as
Sudan grass, spring grain, sorghum,
millet, etc. when such crops are cut
for hay or pasture without such act
ion being regarded as changing the
previous classification of such acre
age
This ruling will probably make it
possible for many farmers to quail
ify for payment who heretofore had
not been considered eligible. Coun-
ty Agent Skuse urges that all farm
ers who think they may be effected
by this ruling and who have not yet
filled out work sheets to do so at
once at he County Extension Of
flee, Kennewick. July 31st is the
closing date.

JUDGE TELLS
KIWANIANS
THEIR DUTIES
Jurist Says Youthful Reform
Must Start in Home; FavOrs
Expansion of Physical Ed
ucatiOn

IF your child is an outlaw at
home, it is more than likely that
he will be one in after life," Judge
Matt Driscoll told Kennewick XII
vanians Tuesday noon when he gave
an interesting talk on juvenile de-
inquency. The Judge, who has been
a close student Of youthful delin-
|quency since his elevation to the SUI
perior court bench for this district
was outSpoken in his views.
He pointed out that an increas-
ingly large number of offenders
were youthful and gave it as his
opinion that the fault was largely
with the parents. He said that
youth must have a moral and spirit
ual background to enable the grow
ing person to become a good citizen.
The reform must be begun in the
home he stated and more direct
parental supervision must be exer-
cised before the world can hope for
an improvement in the actions Of
youth.
People generally, in looking at
youthful delinquency, take one Of
two extremes in their judgments.
One portion advocates strict met
ing of punishment, the other object
ing to the incarceration of youth
with hardened criminals. The judge,
himself, was Of the opinion that
each case must be handled according
to the several factors which might
have caused the action.
His observations were that physi-
cal education was of almost equal
Importance to that Of mental edu-
cation in the prevention of crime.
He said that reports from widely
separated sections showed that as
supervised recreation was increased
delinquency decreased. That while
this branch Of education was APP
parently expensive it was really the
cheaper way inasmuch as it cost Sis
year per individual for supervised
recreation, the cost Of incarceration
was above $500 per year.
Judge DriScoll's talk was a part of
the underprivileged child welfare
program which kiwanis clubs thru
out the United States have for the
main objective. The local club has
had several other speakers on the
subject and have made some prog
ress in their work locally.

CLUBMEN ASK
TAX RATIO BE
UPPED A BIT
c. of c. Passes Resolution to
State Board Asking that the
Corporation Rates be Put
Equal to Citizens

Kennewick business men endorsed
a resolution to the state board of
equalization this noon asking that
the taxation ratio be increased.
The matter was brought before the
chamber OF commerce two weeks
ago and committee was appoint
ed to look into the matter and pre-
pare a resolution. County Assessor
Ben Knox was down from ProSSer
to explain the proposition to the
members.
Briefly, the resolution asks that
the railroads and other inter-county
corporations be assessed at the same
ration in relation TO their actual
valutions, as are the private pro-
perry owners. In other words, IL
1t can be shown to the state board
that private property is assessed
at SO per cent Of its actual valua-
ton, the corporations should get a
ratio Of SO percent Of their assess
ed valuations too.
The present ratio as used for tax
ing purposes for the corporations is
46. The resolution asks that the
ratio be placed at SO, which the To-
cal residents claim they are paying
on their valuations.
The resolution was carried and
will be used as a part of the plea
before the state board which meets
in September.
Miss Gertrude Audrey, dressed In
the costume of a hundred years ago.
was guest of the club. She is from
Walla Walla and was here In pro-
noting the forthcoming Whitman
Centennial celebration TO be held
there the middll Of next mct h.
She told the clubmen details of the
pageant which will depict the early
LIE and struggles of the Whitmans
who established the mission in that
section one hundred years ago.
Ed Riley and Ed Flanagan, for
mer county commissioners OF Yali-
ma county, were also guests of the
club. The latter is a candidate on
the republican ticket for the office
of representative.

.CANNERY TO
OPEN ON TOMS
NEXT WEEK
Crop, Not Great in Acreage, is
Better than Last Year;
Plant Expects to Process
Larger Output

With indications pointing to the
largest tomato pack ever processed
at Kennewick, canning is expected
to start next Tuesday or Wednesday
at the local plant. Tomatoes have
been ripening for several days and
many growers report they will be
ready to start harvesting by Mon
day.
The company is paying $13 ton
for first grade, ripe tomatoes this
year and 81 a ton for seconds. This
is said to be as high, and more in
some instances, as other canneries
are paying for tomatoes in this
state. It compares with $ll80 ton,
field run, last year.
Al Brown, who has worked for the
company during the past two sea-
sons as seamer man, will be the sup
erintendent at the plant during the
tomato season. Mr.. Brown has
worked for canneries most of his
life and is thoroughly familiar with
all phases of the business. During
the pea canning season he has been
employed as night foreman at the
Walla Walla Canning Co. plant. He
succeeds Joe Carrick, superintend-
ent for the past year, who expects
to take q position soon with Libby
McNeily and Libby.
The tomato crop, while not great
in point Of acreage, is much better
than last year.
The Kennewick Canning company
expects to finish the season by pack
ing spinach and urges farmers to
plant considerable acreage.

CLUB REBUFFS
PROPOSAL FOR
MORE POWER
Fear of Increased Taxes is
Basis for Lack of Approval
Of Utility Districts Plea
for New Generator

Fearful q rural identification pro-
ject might throw additional taxes on
Prosser residents, the commercial
Club of the county seat Tuesday de-
clined to support q public power
generator proposal until after an in
vestigation by a committee.
j. b. Whitehead, director of the
Benton county utility district,
sought support for a proposal to ap-
ply for government money to buy
q generator on the reclamation
power canal to provide power for
142 farms In a rural Identification
project between ProSser and Whit
Stran.
Power Lines Approved
He said the government has ap-
proved construction of 43 miles of
power line at q cost of $50 900 and
the only thing holding up work is
power. The government agency
has refused to approve the contract
prices offered by the Pacific Power
& Light Co. for power in the dis
trict, Whitehead said.
The power canal carries 800 Sec
ond feet of water, but if the water
was brought to the canal capacity
of HOO second feet the flow would
be sufficient to operate an indie
pendent generator for the area in
the project, Whitehead said.
Meat Proposal Refused
Club members thought the rural
identification project might come
under the state power district law,
which would enable spread of
taxation over the whole country to
help pay for the power project,
which would serve only a few resi-
dents.

HIGHLANDS TO
GET POWER AT
OLDLOW RATE
Pumping Cost Set at $4,000
Per Year Minimum; Orig
inal Contract Called for
$4,000 Annually

The Kennewick irrigation district
will pay for power from the Pros
ser plant Of the reclamation service
this year at the same rate as In the
last two years as the result Of an
agreement reached In a conference
OF reclamation and district officials
in the office Of J. S. Moore, super
intendent OF the Yakima project,
Tuesday afternoon. For the years
1897 TO 1892, the rate will be higher.
A rate OF mills a kilowatt-hour
willapply this year with q minimum
charge Of $4,000, the same as in 1895.
For the years 1897 to 1912, a rate Of
2& mills kilowatt-hour will apply
with q maximum charge Of $40 q
kilowatt Of maximum demand,
Moore said at the close Of the meet
ing.
Four Units i'm Plant
THE maximum demand is the
average load in kilowatts for a "a
hour period" he said. THE district
plant consists Of four units draw
ing 100 kilowatts, which would give
a minimum of $4,000 a year IL the
plant operated to full capacity.
THE other districts, Richland,
Franklin county and Burbank, will
be given the benefit Of the same
rates as the Kennewick.
Originally, the contract with the
Kennewick district provided for an
annual payment Of $2l 900 based on
kilowatt load Of 10000 at $3.50 a
kilowatt.
Rate Cut i'm 1884
AT the beginning of 1884, the
contract was amended to provide
for payments in 1884 at the rate Of
$3.50 kilowatt for not less than
1000 kilowatts or $4,000. At the be-
ginning Of 1895, the district applied
for continuation Of the 1894 rate,
which was granted.
This year, the same request was
made for continuation and the sec
rotary Of the interior had given
previous approval Of the adjustment
reached in this conference.
THE adjustment Of az mills q
kilowatt-hour for the period of 1897
to 1892 will coincide with the con-
tract with the Pacific Power az
Light Co. for transmission of power.

"The contract with the district as
now adjusted is subject to renewal
in 1912, but the terms remain to be
determined"
