PIPE FACTORY
GETS BIG JOB
Local Plant Turns Out Irriga-
ton Pipe for Richland Irri-
cation District Line

Only a few short years ago it was
not difficult to tell at a glance that
this was an irrigated country, for
wooden troughs stuck up on stills
criss- crossed the country every
where. Special flume lumber was as
staple a commodity as flour. Now
adays all is changed.
Water is now transported hither
and thither over the land in con-
crete pipes safely buried in the
ground, saving costs, weeds, trou-
BILE and evaporation. Here in Kenne-
wick one of the busiest places
along about this time of the year is
the Reese concrete pipe factory
where large portion of the pipe
used in this district is manufac-
tured.
The plant has just finished one
of the largest orders they have ever
received, HOO Ineal feet of 18-in.
pipe for the Richland Irrigation
district. The pipe is being INSTALL
ed on a lateral two miles north
of Richland. Each Of the sections,
which are three feet long, weighs
40 pounds. They are being trans
ported by the Richland Transfer
company.

PICKERS GET
-FOUR TONS OF
LOCUST SEED
Relief Crew, on Six Months
Job, Gathers Seed Enough
to Plant 10000 Acres to
Black Locust Trees

Black Locust trees to be used for
erosion control in demonstration
areas of the Soil Conservation SER
vice from seed collected in the Pa
cific Northwest will be grown from
seed costing approximately Is cents
per thousand trees, according to a
cost estimate made today by DR.. A.
l.. Hafenrichter, Pullman, acting
regional nurseryman, and G. Svend-
by, forester, in charge.
The cost per thousand is COM
pute6 after the seed has been col
lected, transported to Pullman,
dried and threshed. Approximately
500 men are now being given work
in the Pacific Northwest. It is es-
timated that the total cost when
shipped to its final destination and
planted will be less than two cents
per tree, according to MIR. Svendby.
Tree seed collecting is but one
point in the threefold program
which will furnish vegetative cover
for erosive lands in the United
States in which these plants are not
native" Doctor Hafenrichter as
serted. lin addition, we will also
collect seed of many plans native to
the Northwest and test native
grasses, legumes, browse plants,
shrubs and trees which may be Of
value in the Soil Conservation Ser
vice work.
1.-The restoration of vegetative
cover on eroding lands will prevent
erosion by wind and water, decrease
sitting and building UP the ground
water supply, all of which are vital
to the success Of rational land use
program" he explained.
At the present time approximately
1900 pounds of threshed and
cleaned seed have been collected,
5000 pounds of this seed have been
collected in the Pasco-Kennewick
area, according to Floyd L. Otter,
supervisor for the district.
The seed collection is accomplish
ed by unemployed men for the dis
trict in which the seed is gathered.
These men are hired with funds
made available by the Works Prog
ress Administration. Each man
picks seed for a total of not more
than 120 hours month.
The local crew, consisting Of %
men in Kennewick and IS men in
Pasco, has been working here for
the past two and a half months.
The work may last until the first
of May.
Today's estimate revealed that a
crew of twelve men pick on an av-
erage of fourteen sacks Of seed pods
per day which will produce approx
imately ninety pounds of cleaned
black locust seed. Each pound of
seed will product about 5000 seed
ling trees suitable for transplant
ing.
The days work Of the crew Of
twelve men will produce nearly
100000 trees suitable for field
planting or enough trees to plant
372 acres of eroded and quilted
land that is unable to produce any
other type of marketable crop. The
quota Of the seed for the Pacific
Northwest has been set at 100000
pounds of tree seed or enough seed
to produce approximately one-half
billion trees.

MAY BUILD A
RODEO ARENA
See Chance for Federal Money
for Permanent Sport Set-up
for Kennewick

There is a possibility that a per-
manent rodeo grounds can be Sc
cured from federal funds, accord
ing to q report made at the cham
Der of commerce meeting this noon
by Don Visger. So many excellent
reports were received following the
big Fourth Of July celebration last
year, that it was determined to make
the affair an annual one.
Lack Of adequate facilities made
the staging Of one affair difficult
and It was planned to start the ar
rangements as early as possible this
year. In investigating the POSSIBLE
tiles, County Commissioner Jay
Perry has stated that 1t Is quite
possible that almost the entire cost
of such a project could be secured
with federal funds.
A group of interested citizens Is
following out the new angles pre-
scented and will attempt to work out
the plans.

NEW AGENCY 1
GIVES LOANS
TO FARMERS
Rural Resettlement Program
Includes Long Term Finan-
cial Assistance, Instead of
Relief

Instead of supplying milk, groc-
cries or work relief to farmers in
Benton county who have suffered
financial set-backs over which they
had little control, the rehabilitation
program of the Resettlement Ad-
ministration is making a loan to
enable the family to buy a COW,
along with other necessary capital
goods and equipment to once more
provide food and allow the operator
to work his farm on a profitable
basis, according to an announce
ment given out today by A. ID.
Stocking, Supervisor Rural resettle-
ment.
Not only does the farmer receive
financial aid that will enable his
farm to run on profitable basis
in normal times as well as repay
the small loan, but he is assisted in
adjusting his debts and formulat-
ing a management plan that will
insure the future success of his
operations, ~r. ..- ~.
The purpose of rehabilitation is
to take farmers off relief and to
keep others whose credit resources
have been exhausted from being
forced on relief. The assistance Of
fered is designed to once more make
these farms productive and enable
the operators to provide an ade-
quate livelihood for their families.
Provisions have been made to pro-
vide subsistence grants to farm
families for necessary food, cloth
ing and medical care, pending their
eventual rehabilitation. Families
in this class include those referred
to the Resettlement Administra-
ton from the relief agencies.
The purpose of the grant is to
provide subsistence until adjust
ment of debts, a farm plan and the
necessary loan to start the farm
back to a self-supporting basis has
been completed.
Application for rehabilitation
may be made at the offices Of the
local supervisor.

PROBE Of RETAIL
FEDERATION ENDS
"Super Lobby" Charges Hit.
Chain Store Practices
Face Quiz.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The House Chain Store Investigat-
ing Committee yesterday virtually fin-
ished its inquiry into the American
Retail Federation. Inc, and instructed
q subcommittee to draft report Of
its study of the organization which
had been called super lobby"
Chairman Patman said, however,
that Representative Cochran, Demo-
crat, of Missouri, who introduced the
investigating resolution, would be
given chance to appear or submit a
statement.
In the hearing yesterday which pre-
ceded the decision, c. o. Sheriff., ex-
ecutive secretary of the federation,
complained that the super lobby"
tag and other charges in the author
izing resolution were without "a
scintilla of truth"
He told the committee "the author
of the resolution should be called
information"
The work of the committee does
not end with the federation inquiry,
however, but will take it into the gen.
eral subject of chain store practices,
particularly advertising discounts.
Patman, who has bill before the
Judiciary Committee to outlaw secret
rebates, said hearings on this phase
probably would be resumed in about
two weeks.
Sheriff. said the federation was out
to work for independents as well as
chains in gathering factual informa-
ton on the trade.

month if 1t took position in favor

BANKERS QUER|ED
/ ON MARGIN RULES
Reserve Board Asks 0pin'
ions on Limit of Lending
on Securities.
Ry the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Federal Reserve Board yester-
day asked the judgment of the Nations
bankers as to how much money they
should be permitted to lend on securi-
speculation.
The board Is required, under the
securities and exchange act. to lay
down for both brokers and bankers re-
strictive margin rules for stocks, lacl
of which was held by the drafters o.
the act to have been largely responsible
for the 1929 stock market boom.
Brokers AIeready Restricted.
The board already has restricted
brokers. They are permitted to lene
a range of from rs to IS per cent oi
the market value of security, but the
regulations covering bankers have YET
to be issued.
The boards action yesterday sought
bankers opinion through a tentative
draft which set forth general technical
requirements, but left blank any stipu-
lations as to the percentages of margin
to be required.
1t suggested, however, two alterna-
tives, one of which would follow the
present rules for brokers. The other
would set a fiat margin rate in an
amount to be specified later.
Ordinary Loans Not Affected.
The tentative draft emphasized that
ordinary banking loans would not be
effected by the rules, and that they
would apply only to registered equity
securities"
The Reserve Board is expected to
set forth the specific margin require
ments for bankers within about 80
days.
