Calcium Builds Will Power

There is a close relationship be-

Oranges Protest
Freight Increase
Before Ice.
Higher Costs Would
Affect Every Line in
West, is Testimony

Testimony presented before the
rate hearing in Portland the first
of the week, held by the interstate
commerce commission relative to
the proposed blanket fifteen percent
freight rate increase, proved valu-
able, according to a report made
this noon at the chamber Of COM
merce meeting by Gilbert Clodfelt-
er. Mr.. Clodfelter, a Horse Heaven
wheat rancher, was chairman or
the g range committee selected to
appear before the commission in
protesting the freight increase.
To residents Of the far west, the
proposed increase would add an
undue hardship, grangers and 9TH
ers attempted to prove before the
commission. This fact is especial
ly true in the matter of fruit pro-
duced in this state, IL was brought
out in the testimony, MIR. Clodfelt-
er reported, as the cost Of trans
portation is now one of the prin-
cipal costs in marketing the product
of this section. In the case of APP
piles, the proposed increase would
virtually wipe out the industry, &C
cording to the testimony.
Wheat farmers and others would
also be placed under a distinct dis
advantage, MIR. Clodfelter reported,
in several ways. 1t would add to
the cost Of marketing and also in
crease the cost of production by in
creasing the cost Of farm imple-
ments which had to be shipped from
the East. N. a
Mr.. Clodfelter's report was an in
teresting one and apparently COIN
cided with the general opinion Of
! the members, as to the effect which
would be produced should the in
crease be granted the railroads.
4 A. A. Anderson also attended the
hearing and was called upon to
testify regarding the effect of the
increase in rates as pertaining to
the local grape juice factory.

Richmond Bros.
Take Caterpillar
Line of Tractors
To Garry a Complete
Line of John Deere
Farm Implements

The announcement that Rich
mond Bros. Implement Co. of Ken
newick has been appointed an agri-
cultural dealer for the products of
Caterpillar Tractor Co. will be of
special interest to the farmers and
land owners of this community. The
new appointment has just been
made, and in the future this firm
will have complete facilities for the
sale of Caterpillar" track-type
tractors to farmers, as well as re-
pairs for machines of this make al
ready in the field.
Caterpillar" is not only the old
est, but the largest manufacturer Of
track-type tractors in the world. In
fact, there are more of these ma
chimes in service than all other
makes Of track-type tractors COM
bined. Caterpillar" Diesel tractors
are now offered in four sizes, rang
ing from IS to IS drawbar horse
power. Simplicity, dependability,
and long life, plus so to 80 percent
reduction in fuel costs, are the great
advantages claimed by the use Of
the Diesel.
In addition, the full line of John
Deere general farm machinery will
be handled by Richmond Bros. In
cluded are wheel type tractors Of
various sizes which are adaptable
to all sizes of farms where crawl
er type tractor is not necessary.
These John Deere tractors are just
as outstanding for economy and
durability in their class as are the
Caterpillar in theirs. This is at
tested by hundreds of users up the
Yakima valley, and thousands OF
them all over the country.
The John Deere farm machinery
line is second to none and is COM
plete from small horse-drawn tools
to the twenty-foot tractor-drawn
combine.
Paul Richmond has been engaged
in the machinery business in this
community for seven years, and his
brother Waldo Richmond has been
associated with him for the past two
years. Acquisition of the new
leadership marks new step for
ward in the history of the firms

Three Payment
Plans Suggested
by Secretary
Share Crop Rental Up
held as Excellent Way
for Retiring Costs

Three proposed plans for repay
ment of construction costs based on
crop returns on the Sunnyside irri-
cation district will be submitted to
the repayment commission by, w. G.
Muldrow, secretary of the district,
who was in Yakima yesterday con-
ferring with j. S. Moore, superin-
tendent Of the Yakima project.
The three plans We're all satisfac-
tory and the difference among them
was in the clarity with which they
were stated and the details pertain
ing to their application, Muldrow
said. His graph showed what the
water users would have paid with
returns fluctuating from 500 an
acre in 1929 to SIT in 1892 and So
in 1896.
The S percent repayment plan of
the Kittitas division afforded the
water users no relief because it was
not sufficiently flexible, he said.
One of the three plans was the
share crop rental schedule, in which
the repayment was Is percent OF
the landlords share. Muldrow said
this was excellent as it represented
what the farmer could pay. He as
serted any one of the three plans
would pay into the reclamation fund
more in a term of years than plans
now in use.
Congressional legislation will be
necessary before any flexible scheme
of repayment based on returns could
be put in effect, and Muldrow rec
commended that the three plans be
recognized in the law SO the districts
could choose the one most appli-
cable to their conditions.
The commission will reach Den
yer January 16 and remain there
for a time studying the testimony
taken at hearings in the western
states.-Yakima Herald.
