zone of the principal drawbacks
to farming has been the immense
amount of drudgery connected with
it," George Anderson, q valley far
mer, who is numbered among the
successful growers in the district
just east Of Kennewick, reported
this week. Because I wanted to get
rid of some of the hard work, I sug-
gested to Alex Bier that he make
me a little garden tractor. Between
the two of us we managed to make
the rig I am now using and We con-
slider it q complete success. It is
just the machine for doing light
garden work, and the cost is reason

grower to own one."

Many Drivers Take
Tests at City Hall

An unexpected response was made
to the offer of Patrolman Kennedy
and his crew to give drivers exam
nations in Kennewick Tuesday. The
city hall had a waiting list all day
long and more than fifty took the
tests. The officers will have their
equipment in Kennewick each Sat-
urday now, as long as there remains
a sufficient number of drivers to
justify the effort.
All drivers must take the tests
before next year. The examina-
tions are comparatively simple, do
not require very long and will soon
be necessary. Those who have not
yet received their regular licenses
are requested to make special ef-
ford to do so in the near future.

Sacajewea Park to Get
$7858 Museum Building

I have just been advised that the
President has approved an applica-
ton for a WPA project in the
amount Of $7.858 which will con-
struct museum building on the
Sacajewea State Park in Franklin
County near Pasco, states letter
from Congressman Knute Hill to
this paper this week.
This building will be used to house
the Indian antiques of the Old West
and Is constructed on state-owned
property. Its sponsor is the State
OF Washington Park Committee.
Final clearance orders must be
executed by the Comptroller Gen.
eral. ] expect that such clearance
VIII be granted within the next 10
Gays or two weeks. The project
tnen may be begun at the discretion
OF the State WPA Administrator in

Final Drive for
Memberships in
Golf Course On

After a series of disappointments.
it begins to look as though the grass
golf course for Kennewick would
finally become an accomplished
fact. The final drive for member
ships required to finance the prop
osition is being carried on this week
and by this time next week it will
be definitely known whether or not
this improvement for the district
can be made.
The community is required to fur
nish material costs for the WPA
labor grant. This is to be accom-
plished by the sale of memberships,
which up to yesterday, had been
dragging, only about half the re-
quired sum having been raised. A
special committee has been at work
yesterday and today and several ad-
ditional memberships have been Sc
cured with prospect of being able
to go over the top at the final
moment.
In addition to the Improvement
for the community and the provis-
ion for a playfield, the construction
of the course will mean the expend-
iture of about $4,000 in the COM
munity, mostly in the form of labor.
Word was received this week that
about Is men were available from
the WPA rolls for immediate work
on the course. The work will re-
quire about five months, it is esti-
mated, and the federal allotment
has already been made. Required
now is only the guarantee of the To-
cal portion of the construction
funds.

Highland Farmers
to Try Freezing
Strawberries
Ask Town to Help
in Getting Processing
of Samples Done

In an attempt to secure better
marketing conditions for the crop
for which Kennewick is most wide
ly famous, Guy Story and Burdette,
Highlands farmers, appealed today
to the chamber Of commerce for as
sistance in working out their plans.
Famed far and wide for the earl
lest and best Strawberries, Kenne-
wick farmers averaged a dollar a
crate less than the statewide, all
season average, Mr.. Story said, as
he presented his proposition to the
club members. These prices in
clude the processed berries from the
coast section, he said, and to pre-
vent any future happening Of the
sort, the growers on the project are
attempting to secure a more stable
market.
Strawberries produced in this sec
ton totaled about 10000 crates last
year, he reported, with prospects
for at least an additional 10000 in
sight for this season. From the
acreages planted now, Mr.. Story es-
timated next years production at
65, 900 to $4,000 crates.
Due to the rapidly spreading use
of frozen fruits and vegetables, the
freezing process seemed to offer the
solution for the marketing problem
for this crop, MIR. Story said, and a
group of growers is anxious to have
samples processed and distributed
in order to establish market for
future years. arr.,.. F..
The agriculture committee Of the
chamber was called into session and
plans were laid for securing equip
ment to handle the samples to be
distributed this season. Inasmuch
as there remains but comparative
ly short period before the berries
will be ready, swift action was de-
ternined upon.
If the berry freezing proves sue
cessful, other crops will also be ex-
perimented with. 1t is hoped that a
processing plant can be secured To-
cally.

of the ditch SO that a continuous
flow of water can be expected with.
out additional hand work leading
the water down the rills.
Mr.. Anderson was ditching out
his three and half acre patch of
lettuce Monday when the picture
was taken. He had already culti-
waited the patch and said that the
new tractor was cutting the work
Just in half, for with it he was do
ing the work of two men.
The tractor was made by Mr.. Bier.
who is SO pleased with its perform
ance that he is seriously consider
ing manufacturing more Of them.
Now that he has the requirements
worked out he is confident that he
can deliver them for fraction of
the cost Of the higher powered
tractors now on the market.
The experimental machine has a
minimum Of machinery, even the
transmission being of the simple
friction type, applied directly to the
solid-tired wheels. Using only a
fraction Of its power 1t travels up
and down the rows as fast as it is
comfortable to follow.
Tractors are being used more and
more in this section in all types OF
farming operations. This is es-
pecially true of the larger acreages,
of course, but many of the smaller
tracts use tractors for much of the
farm labor.
For the heavier work, two or three
valley farmers have also fashioned
tractors of their own. j. r. Gowing,
of Section Seven has a powerful
machine which he constructed from
an old Dodge motor. The frame is
shortened and a Ruxtel axle added
and the machine operates the heav-
Ter implements with ease. Major
difficulty has been getting proper
sized tires, Mr.. Gowings being
equipped with heavy truck tires run
without inner tubes.
Several other tractors of similar
nature are also in operation on 9TH
er farms in the district, as well as
the higher priced specially manu-
featured farm types, which are be-
ing purchased in increasing num-
bers by farmers in the district.

Quota, Allotment
Difference Is
Explained

What is the difference between
wheat acreage allotment and q
wheat marketing quota?
The answer to this question, which
many farmers have asked In con-
nection with the 1898 AAA Farm
Program, is given by Fred Wilson,
chairman of the county agricultural
conservation committee, as follows:
Wheat acreage allotments are
made every year. A wheat acreage
allotment is an allotment made to
a farmer to guide him in seeding
wheat on his farm.
These allotments do not directly
affect the marketing of wheat. Seed
ing wheat within the acreage allot-
ments is entirely voluntary. How
ever, the acreage allotments are i'm
portant when wheat loans are Of
fered or if marketing quotas go into
effect. Wheat loans are offered
only to cooperators in the program
except in years when marketing
quotas go into effect, and then nom
cooperators receive loans on part OF
their wheat production at lower
rates than those to cooperators. The
wheat acreage allotment for a farm
is used in computing the payment
that farmer can earn. The pay
ment rate for 1898 is IL cents bu.
on the normal yield of the wheat
acreage allotment.
Marketing quotas are for use only
in years when SURPRISES are very
large. A marketing quota is q spec
flied number of bushels Of wheat
worked out for farmer on the
basis of his acreage allotment. II
supplies in any year are unusually
large and quotas are in effect. No
marketing quota can go into effect
unless approved by two-thirds ma
jority of farmers voting in q refer
endum. Under marketing quotas
each farmer holds part Of his crop
off the market in order to do his
share in improving marketing con-
ditions for the part that is market
ed. Marketing quotas apply to all
wheat farmers whose market pro-
duction is more than 100 bushels.
