Softbal League

Teams and players to be
signed up before open,
ing of schedules on the
first of May IL

With the handing out of the team
contracts next Monday, April LIST,
the Softball, program for 1910 in
Kennewick and Pasco will be under
way. Although actual league COM
petition will not begin until the first
week in June, there will be- plenty of
interest between now and June as
the various team managers sign up
their players and arrange for prac-
tice games.
The field of play in Kennewick
will be the Lions Den with the new
ly installed lights, and all of the
league games will be night games,
with a doubleheader on each night
of play. The number of nights of
play on the Kennewick field will de-

| Two Divisions .~..
There will be one Twin-City
league, consisting of two divisions,
Commercial and Fraternal, each
composed of teams from both Ken
newick and Pasco. The operation
will be as in Pasco in 1899 with the
exception that the playing field in
Kennewick will also be used. The
commercial teams may consist of
any players up to thirteen in num-
Der, and the fraternal teams must
consist of bona fide members or af-
filiates of the group, society, church,
lodge, etc., under whose name they
play. Fraternal teams may have up
to twenty players on the eligibility
roster. +. e.. ..-. Ill:
The contracts which have been
drawn up are substantially the same
as last year, with minor changes.
The most important change has to
do with the use of pickup" play
ers. If team at game time is short
some Of its players (there must be
at least six eligible players presently
other persons may be used to fill
the lineup. Last year only two
such pick-ups could be used, but
this year up to four may be used in
order to completely fill the lineup.
However, such pick-ups may not be
members of any other softball
teams. They must be selected from
the spectators. This ruling will give
the fans break, for besides the fun
Of watching the games, they also
have an occasional opportunity to
take part in the play.

Brand Home Lost
By Lack of Water

A fire Of unknown origin COM
pletely destroyed the home of e. j.
Brand on the Highlands last eve
ming about six o'clock. Only a few
personal belongings were saved. The
house was owned by M. M. Moulton
and was located on the main High
lands road about two miles west Of
town. s-a
The fire was first noted by q
neighbor who called the city de-
partment, as the Brands had just
Ia few minutes earlier left to come
to town. The fire started over the
refrigerator, located in an addition
built onto the kitchen.
The fire department had the blaze
under control at one time, and had
the portable tank held another hum
bred gallons of water, the home
could have been saved. But as there
was no water available, the blaze
again got out Of control and the
building was completely consumed.
The loss was partially covered by
insurance

Study New Deal

The workings of the Reciprocal
Trade Agreements which the New
Deal put into practice in 1894 will
be studied by the Kennewick Re-
publican Women's Club Monday,
April 1. 2 pm. in the council rooms
of the City Hail. 80.
Club members, who will partici-

emphasize the importance of con-
gressional ratification If these agree
ments are to be accepted as "trea-
ties" The steps in making the ar
guments will also be reviewed.
These questions to play part in
the discussions are: Have the New
Deal Trade Agreements promoted
national prosperity? Have they en-
couraged world trade? Have they
promoted world peace?

City Studies Plat
of Hiway Property

All Of the land along the high
way Oh the south side between
Washington street and the bridge,
except one lot, has recently been
sold by Louis Larsen, who owned the
thirty-odd acres between the high
way and the N. p. tracks. Several
new enterprises are being started
and development of the area is pro-
crossing rapidly. ..........
The land has not yet been plated
and because of lack Of sewer ia
cilities the city has been asked to
supply an outlet. Mr.. Larsen to-
night submitted q tentative plat for
the area at a special meeting OF the
council. The plat shows an eighty
foot road running east as continu-
alton Of Avenue b, with So and 60
foot cross streets from there to the
highway.
Inasmuch as the plat shows no al
leys, and the city has adopted a pol
icy of not permitting water mains
or sewers In streets. the matter was
deferred for further consideration.

Other developments are under way

the Washington Hardware.
Several new residences are under
construction, also.

Allies Woo Balkans

Bucharest, RNmania-To block
German attempts to control large
share Of Rumania's oil exports and
grain shipments, France and Britain
are believed to be willing to risk a
war with Russia rather than resign
their present favorable trade rela-
tons in the Balkans. Allied military
strategists have expressed only con-
tempt for Russia,s war machine, in
the light Of its Finnish performance,
and believe that Russian participa-
ton in the long-awaited German Of
fensive would be a hindrance rather
than . help to her ally. With vast
French and British forces ready for
action in the Near East, and with
the cooperation of Turkeys we'll
equipped army, the theatre Of war
may suddenly switch from the West
ern Front to the Levant, with a de-
termined drive into the Soviet as its
objective. Italy would then be fore
ed into the Allied fold or lose her
African possessions.

MuldrOw TO Direct
Lima Bean Deal
for w. Cannery
More than 500 acres con-
tracted for processing;
watch experimental plot
carefully

Contracts have been signed 70
grow $50 acres of Lima beans on the
Kennewick Highlands this summer
for the Walla Walla Canning Co.
Similar contracts have been signed
to grow 100 acres for the same COM
pany and ITO acres for Hershey
Packing corporation in the Benton
City area. In addition, the Hershey
people have contracted go acres OF
green peas, to be grown on the same
lands in advance OF the beans. These
peas are already planted and up.
1t is expected that they will be har-
vested about May 10th to goth, in
time to prepare the lands for plant
ing the land to beans in June. II
the peas produce a paying tonnage,
the way is set for profitable CROP
ping system.
From test plots at the Prosser
Branch Experiment Station in 1897
to three two-acre fields at Benton
City in 1888; to 80-odd acres there
in 1889, half devoted to seed pro-
duction and half TO green beans for
freezing-then to $40 acres for can
ming and freezing in 1940-that is
pretty rapid expansion. The reason
is that the crop is in demand at a
price that shows a good profit IL a
good yield is secured. And we have
shown that a good yield and good
quality can be secured under prop
er conditions. But the fact remains
that the crop has not been over
done, because IL is very tricky and
difficult crop to grow in most areas.
We made many mistakes at Benton
City, but we think we learned most
Of the things to do and some OF the
things not to do. ..
Must Be Green
AS canned or frozen vegetable,
the lima bean must be green, liter
ally. II little too mature, the
bean will remain white instead OF
turning bright green in the steam
chamber, and must be culled out. II
too large q percentage OF crop are
whites, IL means too many hands on
the processing line. The standard
contract at 4 cents per pound al
lows 5 percent whites-above that
point the dockage Is severe. So
the field is carefully watched for
maturity and preferably harvested
just before the percent point is
reached.
The bane OF the lima bean deal.
wherever grown, is its refusal to set
pods in very hot weather. The bloom
falls off. II the weather is cool
