OUTLOOK FOR
GRASS GOOD
Wash. Crops Manager Looks
for Good Yield and Better
Prices on Grass

"This weather we are having
seems to indicate that the spring
asparagus cutting season win be an
unusually good one this year, In
spite Of the feet that the season is
backward ana Late" said NJ. Krack,
local manager for the Washington
Early Crops, today. II am told that
asparagus has been shipped from
Kennewick earlier than this date,
but I am sure that such earliness
meant that the season was not as
good on the whole as one which,
started more at the normal time"
he said.
Mr.. Krack said that his company
had not yet contracted for his grass
outlet, either on the fresh market
or for canning. He said that he
thought this year it would be pos
sible to get for the growers some
thing like the prices which formerly
prevailed for the fresh stuff, now
that that was something of a Ca
madam market being opened again.
He said that he was in hopes Of get
ting cannery contract for q some
what higher prices than was re-
ceived last year and had been hold
ing off for that purpose. He said
that he expected that cutting would
start about the first of the month
and looked for good season. e..
