Potato Goals Part Of
Conservation Program

II was announced yesterday by
County Agens Skuse that all farm
- having q normal acreage Of
three or more acres Of potatoes
would be given q goal" as to the
number Of acres that they would
grow in 1898 and qualify for pay
ments as part Of the 1898 program.
The average production for the
county is 5:27 tons per acre. This
gives each grower $7.16 an acre for
each acre Of his goal. II he exceeds
the goal, a deduction Of ten times
the acre rate would be made against
any possible payment he would re-
ceive.
The total goal for the county is
2293 acres, which is to be the sum Of
the individual goals. The exact re-
duction this will represent from
normal acreages will soon be known,
but for those desiring to plant po-
tatoes right away, and still play
safe as to possible compliance with
the Conservation program, Skuse
suggests that they do not plant over
eighty percent of their normal acre
age, l-f r $50 S

New Tennis Courts
Soon Ready for Play

Four new concrete tennis courts
are being constructed at the school
grounds. One oil-paved court was
constructed at the park last fall.
All five courts give indications Of .
general useage this spring and sum-
mer. with a project under consid-
Grafton Of lighting the concrete
courts.
The latter are fast and hard and
will furnish an excellent place for
expert play. The oiled courts In the
park, however, are slower and soft
er, and for this reason more care
is urged in its use. People, especial
ly children are asked not to ride BIZ
cycles, or use roller skates on this
court as it breaks the fine top sur
face. Also the use Of anything but
tennis shoes on the court will soon
make it unfit for play.

Highland Grower
Gets $500 Per A.
from Green Onions
Annual Crop Report
Gives Detailed Data on
Production

A dozen guesses would fail to give
the crop produced on the Kenne-
wick Highlands the past year which
yields the largest returns-and &c
would require twice as many to es-
innate the amount of returns.
It was, of course, because there
was only small acreage-one in
fact-that such returns could pos
sibly have been received. That crop
was, believe 1t or not-green onions.
One lone acre was planted to this
crop, which produced $4,000 pounds
Of the succulent vegetable, which
sold at an average price Of a nickle
a pound, or gross return Of 5000
The next highest cash producing
crop was at the rate OF $500 per
acre, and was also made possible be-
cause Of the limited acreage plant
ed-in this case five. Asparagus
seed was the second on the list and
gave returns Of $500 per acre, &C,
cording to crop report Just releas-
ed by the bureau of reclamation.
The report was released by j. S.
Moore, superintendent of the Bur
eau at Yakima, who calls attention
to the gratifying increase in the to-
tai area irrigated on the project,
jumping from 2,512 acres under cul-
tivation in 1896 to $3.50 in 1897.
While the figures show on the re-
port. he did not call special atten-
ton to the fact that the gross re-
turns to farmers on the Highlands
project totaled $274,988 In 1885, they
dropped to s214,586 in 1897, and the
per acre yield dropped from sl0947
in 1896 to $6860 In 1897. & -
Apples, once the principal crop on
the Highlands, now rank way down
in the list Of products. On the 9TH
er hand, asparagus brought the most
money into the district, although
only about half the acreage was de-
voted to this crop as was put into
spuds Grass returns totaled $58,295
from 374 acres, while spuds brought
in $42,225 from 672 acres. Grass also
ranked as the highest per-acre pro-
Queer, averaging returns of $l55.
Outside of the two crops mem
toned above small fruits Of all
kinds, grouped made the next best
per-acre and total returns. with
38l acres producing an average OF
$141 for the 38l acres in such
crops.
Tomatoes produced at the rate of
$l03 per acre for the 26 acres SO de-
voted.
The poorest showing listed on the
report was that for beet tops, IL
acres producing at the rate OF $4.27
per acre. Oats was the next lowest
on the scale, the IL acres returning
sos per acre.
The 686 acres of alfalfa brought
to Highlands growers $23, 400 or at
the rate Of $34.24 per acre, while

Car Dealers to
Give Benefit Sale
for City Park
Proceeds from Auction
to be Donated to the
Park Operation

Improvements in Kennewick's city
park this year win not startle any
of the natives, for the board has
been informed that but q little more
than $50 Is available for operating
expenses for the season. Ordinary
fuel and power costs will eat up this
sum even with the greatest Of econ
omy.
However, the. general public will
have an opportunity to help out In
this matter, for Saturday Of this
week. the local auto daalers are each
donating q car to be auctioned off
with the entire proceeds to 60 into
the park fund.
The how of 1t is: The four deal
ers, cooperating in the National
Used Car Week as announced In q
display ad on page Of this issue,
are each donating q car to be sold
at the community auction next Sat-
urday afternoon. The dealers are
donating the cars, the Farmers Ex-
change Is donating the services OF
the auctioneer and the local paper
is furnishing the publicity. The park
will get the benefit, providing the
public responds and buys the cars.
The A. A. Anderson Chevrolet Co..
the Smith Motor Co., the Strickler
Motor Co., and G. II. Yedica Motor
Co. are furnishing the cars for the
event, which 1t is hoped will prove
profitable for the park.
The park has cost the city some
$40, 600 since 1t was begun. It has
been used by virtually every citizen
in the community, particularly the
rural residents. It has cost the city
approximately q thousand dollars q
year to maintain the place. Last
yeAr extra expenses. such as the
purchase Of power mower, etc. de-
pleted the budget, and q portion Of
the purchase price had to be divert
ed to this years budget.
Forseeing this situation, the park
board asked for an enlarged bud
get for the year through the special
election which failed to pass. The
park has proven one Of the COM
munity's best investments from the
standpoint Of public use and 1t is
hoped that it can be kept in proper
condition throughout this year. Out
side assistance will be necessary. no
doubt. and this action on the part
Of the car dealers is the first ben
eft therefor. Others may be pro-
vided later by other interested
agencies.
