Mr.. Fixit: Several times We

The popping would appear TO
be caused by watery whites in

Smith has Answer for All the
Troubles which Beset District

My idea is to put a temperature
control system in the main ditch so
we can change and regulate the
temperature of the water. When
we first turn on in the spring have
the water boiling. This not only
warns the ground, but sterilizes all
the weed seeds so they cannot grow
and kills all the worms, bugs and
eggs that are underground. It would
eliminate the danger of frost. save
smudging the fruit and berries and
the vapor rising from the hot
ground would form a strata Of
clouds overhead and probably pro-
duce rain all over the valley and
a great part of the surrounding
wheat land. Then come Saturday
night there is water already heat
ed for the annual bath without
resulting COW. chips and sage brush
Our crops would mature in time
to reach the early market and we
would not have to fight weeds and
bugs. Then as the season grew
warmer we could cool the water to
a point where weeds could not grow
in the main ditch and also cool the
air so we could get good breath
once in while. Then on week.
ends, holidays and Sundays we
could freeze everything solid and
all go skating. This would bring
much fame and many tourists to
our fair valley and our own folk
would not have to go to the noun
tains and lakes for their vacation.
But the John part" and the real
secret Of it all is we would have
more water because everyone
knows that cold water is much
wetter than warm water.
just try it the next time you wash
dishes. Wash and rinse them with
boiling water and they are dry
right now. Try it with ice water and
you can never get them dry.
OF course suppose you think the
main objection would be the cost,
but what is few million dollars
among friends. We just owe it to
each other. We had the district
bonded for over half a million
dollars and paid it with reputation
and government loan. Why can't
we do 1t again. You say a burnt cat
breads and fears the fire, but a well
warmed dog loves his hearthstone.
just think this over and believe
you will agree with me that here is
a sure way to cure all our faults
with one "fell swoop.."
Electricity is cheap now and will
be much cheaper when the other
big dam is finished and here is a
way to use lot of it.
see that we are going to have

Kennewick on The Columbia

Kennewick on The Columbia
The land of Golden Opportunity
Dear Editor:
Say! I received the surprise of my
life last week. No less than three
different people spoke to me about
seeing my letter in the paper. had
no idea there were that many people
who ever read the paper at all, es-
pecially the last page. Now with a
following like that we ought to be
able to begin to do things in big
way. There is one thing that has
long been on my mind and which
] would like to see remedied and
with your assistance and the coop
Grafton of those most deeply inter-
ested It is in regard to the supply
of Irrigation water which has con-
verified our fair valley from raw,
worthless sand. Now you are ia
miliar with the set-up, but just to
draw your attention to a few draw
backs with which we are confront
ed. will briefly outline the situa-
uon. It won't hurt my feeling one
: bit If you do not agree with me be-
cause I am not interested in poll
tics; neither am running for any
kind of elective office.
In the first place we have here
the finest piece of property ever put
under irrigation and one of the only
systems in the whole country that
even tries to pay its own way. But
we are laboring under several hand
leaps which can easily be removed.
We are blessed with easy winters,
long growing seasons, a wonder
full system Of roads and railroads
which put us in touch with all the
principal markets. But we have
late cold springs and April frosts
which hold us back and sometimes
spoil our crops or ATHEIST put them
On the market two weeks too late.
Then we have a great abundance of
n0xious weed which grow in such
confusion as to make the clltiva-
ton Of crop cost more than the
crop is worth when harvested.
We also have several insect pests
which harbor in the ground and
ruth such important crops as early
lp0tatoes, early gardens. melons and
even asparagus. We also have
lew hot nights in July and August
which makes sleep almost impossible
Or at least uncomfortable. We also
have a growth of weeds which de-
vel0p in the main ditch necessitat-
Ing crew Of men working all sum-
mer and also an occasional turn
out of water just when we need it
most. And last. but not least, we
have an actual water shortage here
I'm July and August which prevents
from raising many things which
our long growing season should per-
INIT.
Now again! Don't get me wrong!
! am not criticizing. am merely
'analyzing. I think we are doing just
las well as possible under the existing
conditions, but why put up with
such arrangements when they can
80 easily be remedied under New
Deal regulations.
