City to Handle
Distribution of
Irrigation Water

Distribution Of irrigation water
inside the city has long been q prob
lem which has vexed property own
ers. Under the present system o1
lack Of system-each little group
had to get the water from the ditch
the best way they could under the
circumstances.
This method has caused owners
and the city much difficulty, thru
lines breaking, clogging and in the
method of measurement.
Following several conferences, an
arrangement was made last week
for the formation of the land inside
the city limits into an improvement
district, the city to take over its
management and maintenance
while, the irrigation district will levy
the assessments and make the dis
bursement.
Several distribution lines will have
to be rebuilt while nearly every line
will require more or less patching
and revamping.
The irrigation committee from the
city council met with the district
directors Friday and the arrange
ments for the formation Of the dis
trict were completed.
Under the new setup while there
will be subdivisions In 1t, so that
where complete rebuilding Of a dis
tribution line Is necessary, the con-
struction costs will be levied against
the particular property benefited
rather than spread over the entire
district. Maintenance costs, how
ever, will be spread over the entire
district.
Under the new arrangement the
city will have complete charge Of
the operation Of the distribution and
maintenance, but the plan cannot
be put into operation until next sea-
son. Preliminary arrangements for
the formation Of the district. how
ever, are already under way.

Many Farmers
Attend PrOsSer
Station Field Day

The annual field day at the r.
rigation Branch Experiment Station
near Prosser was held last Friday.
with the best success that has ever
attended such an occasion, accord
ing to Waldo W. Skuse, county ag-
ricultural agent, who was in attend
ance during the day. He states that
there was an attendance Of from
six to eight hundred as shown by
the check up at the lunch. which
was served on the station grounds.
Fully half of the attendance was by
farm families Of Benton county. In
attendance from the state college
was q delegation led by Dean KIM
bough, acting president, Geo Can
non, regent, and several department
heads and specialists who assisted
In conducting the tours over the
farm and explaining the work Of the
station.
The scope of the work has broad
ened thru the years till in It's pres
emit phase are covered the various
problems Of irrigation agriculture in
the state.
Varietal investigations are being
conducted with various fruit, vege-
table, and field crops; fertilizer In
designations are being conducted as
well; crop rotations are studied;
feeding experiments with lambs and
ewes all these are being studied;
likewise, the new cooperative ar
rangement between the station and
the Bureau Of Chemistry and Soils.
whereby a laboratory has been put
in operation for the study Of freez-
ing, canning, processing Of fruits
and vegetables as a market stabiliz-
ing proposition.
AS the cars arrived parking space
was provided and the occupants
were given booklets explaining In
detail the progress Of the expert
mental work and the location Of the
plots. It was q three ring circus,
something going on all the time on
each part OF the farm. Trucks shut
tied back and forth carrying farm
ers to various parts, but many hoof-
ed it and were thus in excellent con-
dition to enjoy the lemonade, cof-
fee, hot dogs and ice cream, which
were dispensed by the large commit
tee of the Prosser Commercial Club
It was noticeable how many men
were interested in the processing Of
fruits and vegetables as marketing
outlet, while it was very commend
able as well, how many women were
interested in the field plots with
what this meant in dust and heat,
as they went from one part to an
other.
All those identified with the work
of the station, as well as those CO.
operating to make the occasion q
success are to be highly commended.

UNSOUND CREDIT
Maximum Deferred Term
Is Reduced From 36 to
24 Months.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September ga
warning against unsound and loose
credit policies was voiced today by
Lewis H. Brown, president of the
Johns -Manville Corp, in announcing
that the maximum term allowable
under the JIM. Credit Corps deferred
payment plan for building materials
had been reduced from 36 months to
"a months, effective Immediately.
The 24-month term is a restoration
of the maximum allowed under the
original JIM. deferred payment plan,
instituted six years ago, Mr. Brown
said. This was changed in 1888 to
conform to the more liberal modern
ization credit provisions of the ma
tional housing act, which now are no
longer in operation.
Although he warned against un-
sound credit policies, Mr.. Brown en-
phasized that he believes the financing
Of installment sales Of durable goods
to be mot only economically sound,
but one of the most constructive tools
that business can employ"
"The dangers of deferred payment
selling do not lie in the system itself.
1t is the excesses and abuses of the
system which have been harmful
Even in the crash of 1929 when in
stallment sales for the year had
reached total of approximately
$4,000, ,000,0 900, consumers we're able to
pay of their time payment obligations
which, for the most part, has been
incurred on a sound basis.
Within the past few years, how
ever, deferred payment terms gener-
ally have been heightened, credit
standards lowered, down payments in
many cases eliminated and installment
selling extended to so-called soft"
merchandise and even TO such intang-
ibles as personal services.
Time payment sales for 1886 have
been estimated anywhere from s4,500,-
000, 900 if retail sales only are consid-
cred, to twice that amount. if whole
sale sales are included; but this total
is not the important thing. The sig
niflcant thing to be considered is the
quality Of the credit being extended. -

Metal Trade today says:
Although the expected Fall upturn
in steel buying is getting under way,
the pickup is so slow shipments on
old orders continue to cut sharply into
backlogs, and as a result steelmaking
operations are declining.
"At midweek the national ingot rate
is estimated at rs per cent against
80 per cent week ago. This is the
lowest rate reported for the industry
since early in the Summer, when
strikes at important plants forced q
sharp curtailment.
"A further decline in operations is
expected unless business improves
more rapidly than recently. Demand
is picking up in various directions and
producers are confident tonnage busi-
ness will come out in the not distant
future.
