Bahama '0ut.IsIands
Take the Traveller
Off Beaten Track
Peaceful and Green
Lands Change Little
Since Columbus Day

NASSAU. Bahamas, Sept. g.
Those who would shun the we'll
trodden highways and seek out
less freouented but interesting by
ways in the travel world are dis
covering that voyages to the Bahama
"out islands" offer interesting ad-
venture.
Strung out for almost 400 miles
through the Sun-toucheo blue seas,
many of these sand-rimmed, green
foliaged isles have remained al
most unchanged from the days
when Columbus first sighted them
In 1892. Their sheltered ports and
snlets, some of them too shallow to
fermit of entry by modern ships,
have been visited down through
the years by Spanish conQuistadores'
Portuguese sailors. English bucca-
neers and American blockade run
ners.
Their peace and serenity is dis
turbed today by nothing flercer than
an occasional plane of the Bahamas
Airways. mail and freight boats,
lazv-moving native fishing boats
and a curious yacht or two.
Regular Cruises.
For those who must keep to some
sort of schedule there are the reg
ular cruises of the Monarch of Mas
sau to Cat Island, San Salvador
Long Island and Inagua; the motor
vessel Three Bays, which sails weekly
to Governors Harbor and Rock
Sound; the Richard Campbell fort
nightly to Abaco and Eleuthera: the
Lady Dundas fortnightly to Spanish
Wells and Harbor Island.
Abaco, incidentally. Is the most
northerly of the Bahama Islands
and is protected from the open At
lantic by a curved line of Gays and
reefs. The island has an important
lumber industry which together
with its harbor facilities has made
it an important shipbuilding center
Sisal. used in production of straw
articles, is also grown in these
islands.
Eleuthera, a gangling island to the
east of Nassau. has a number OF
interesting settlements worthy OF
visiting or staying at. On this
island are located Hatchet Bay
Gregory Town, James Cistern, Gov
ernors Harbor, Palmetto Point,
Savannah Sound. Tarpum Bay
Green Castle. Rock Sound, Free
Town, Wemyss Blight and Banner
man Town. Eleuthera was one OF
the first of the Bahama group to be
settled, its history going back to
1e47.
Windsors Interested in Isle.
Eleuthera was the first OF the out
islands which his royal highness,
the Duke of Windsor, and the
Duchess of Windsor visited last fall,
shortly after he had assumed the
governorship of the Bahamas. They
were both keenly interested in the
social and industrial conditions OF
the island, where, as the result of
the efforts of two Americans, Arthur
Vining Davis and Austin T, Levy,
the island is rapidly returning to a
prosperity which it temporarily lost
some years ago. Mr.. Levy's develop
ment is at Hatchet Bay, where he
has succeeded in huge agricultural
experiment along scientific lines
employing native labor.
Inagua, with its $50 square miles

Dried Bonunos Prove
Popular in England

Britain is taking to the idea of
dried bananas. They probably will
be sold at to 2 cents, and pound
would provide a nourishing meal for
one person.
Before the war, dried bananas
we're considered a delicacy and Lon
don stores stocked them at 40 cents
q pound. The import of bananas
was banned in November because
they made too bulky a cargo, and
they are rotting on the trees in
banana countries. The plan is to
skin. sun-dry and pack them In the
same manner as figs.

Old Timers COncede
Al Bumper Harvest

Since 1928, when Horse Heaven
produced one Of its rare bumper
crops, wheat farmers have hoped for
a repetition Of that bountiful year
and would have been very satisfied
with the 80 TO 40 buShel that marked
that years crop With no particular
indication Of such a repetition, this
years crop will. as a whole, average
much higher than the famed 1928
crop.
Wheat farmers, those six months
a year vacationerS. are working
night and day harvesting the finest
crop Of wheat ever harvested in the
Horse Heaven hills. Old-timerS in
the country verify this fact. Due
to the abundant moisture through
the spring season the wheat is not
up to the usual standard Of protein
content, but nevertheless is a prod
uct any flour miller is glad TO OBJ
tain, as Horse Heaven wheat has a
reputation for high protein content
that is hard to beat.
With every farm Boosting at least
one tractor-drawn combine (there
is not a single horSe-drawn outfit
left in the hills) with every man,
woman and child on every ranch CO.
operating in the effort Of a success
full harvest, with rush and hurry
the 1941 wheat crop is being har-
vested with good will and broad
smiles at returns come in for a
crop much welcomed and long wait
ed for by wheat farmers the coun-
try over.
Due to excess late spring moisture
summer fallow wedding has been
quite problem. Weeds (thistleS and
cheat grass have staged a prolific
growth in the summer sun on sum-
merfallow, necessitating constant
wedding, making an added burden
during the harvest season. Some
farmers were unable TO start har-
vesting wheat until the wedding was
finished and will, no doubt, resume
that job after harvest again.
Local townSpeople are rejoicing
with the wheat farmers over their
bountiful crops as they realize the
significance Of good wheat crops and
good wheat prices in the business
outlook of the town.

Street Paving to
Start i'm Two Weeks

Paving of many Of the city streets
will start in from twelve to fourteen
days, according to Mayol Alfred
Anon. Gravel stock piles are now
being placed at the south end OF
Auburn street, preparatory to NOV
ing in the other equipment.
+ The paving program for this sum-
mer is quite extensive, and will in
clude all of the streets not yet paw
ed between Front Avenue and the
irrigation canal, west of Washing
ton Street. In addition, Kennewicls
Avenue East, First, Second and
Tnrd Avenue East will receive coat
ings, with Third Avenue East re-
ceiving its seal coat. .
In seal-coating Third Avenue, al
lowance will be made for the future
construction Of the proposed sewer
line SO that the finished street will
not be disturbed.
This paving project virtually COM
pletes the pavement Of the principal
residence streets, leaving Just those
in the gardens and on the east side
of town

Lake On Farm Is Desert Freak;
Elliott's Is One of Best Dairys

A farm with a lake! Something
really unusual for this desert coun-
try, but that is what we found this
week when we paid a visit to the
Elliott Dairy Farm a few miles south
of Kennewick. True, the lake is
man-made, but there it is, over a
fifth of a mile long, and several
hundred feet wide.
In 1920 MIR. and Mrs. w. T. FL
lott moved to Kennewick and set
tied on the 14-acre place on which
their home and dairy buildings are
now located. With their family, they
started farming this home tract, and
shortly thereafter, in 1924, suffered
a complete freezeout of all crops
that would bring in any money. This
freezout was responsible for putting
the Elliotts into the dairy business,
which was started this same year by
acquiring the herd from Fred Hig-
ley and adding the few COWS already
owned.
Cows are just like growing child
rem, they need plenty of food; and
this demand for cow-feed meant
that Mr.. Elliott must have more
land on which to produce it. He soon
acquired another 20 acres under the
Columbia Irrigation District canal on
which to supplement his feed supply.
From there on the farm grew Like
Topsy, with the addition of % acres
just south of his feeding barn on
which he keeps his haystacks and
feeding corrals; then 40 acres just
west of the Lum place above the
canal; then the 30-acre tract of
which part has become the lake, 20
acres more few days ago-making
a total of almost IA acres in all.
About this lake! The winter the
Wallula- Umatilla cutoff was built,
a spring started flowing vigorously in
the canyon just south of the Elliott
farm, and by prospecting, the flow
was located and dug out, with the
result that there appeared almost
immediately a flow that would fill
a six-inch pipe. The spring was fur
ther developed, and a large dam
built across the canyon to impound
the flow of this spring. The dam Is
an earth-fiu towering up 30 or 40
feet above the canyon bottom, and
was holding back a supply OF water

Aug. 80 Deadline
for Crop Insurance

Provision for the 1912 "au risk"
wheat crop insurance program,
somewhat revised from those which
governed the 1941 program, will be
made available to wheat producers
in the very near future, according
to Fred Wilson, chairman of the
Benton county agricultural con-
servation committee.
I'm announcing the new program,
Mr.. Wilson explained that a re-
vision has been made in the av-
erage or normal yields of every
wheat farm in Benton county. This
revision is the result of bringing
the effect of actual recorded 1910
production into the yield and rate
structure.
"Indennities totaling 2178 bu-
shells were paid to Benton county
farmers on the 1910 CROP" Wilson
said, land while no great losses
are anticipated on the current crop
operators feel that crop insurance
is a sound farming practice. BY
putting aside a small portion of
iIIfelr WlledC OuTlIlS uOrilldl crop
years they offset the ever-present
threat of crop failure, and avoid
worry. debt and bankruptcy"
Under the federal crop insurance
program farmers may insure their
wheat crops up to rs percent of the
average yield for the farm as de-
termined from actuarial data. In
surance is stated in terms of bu-
shells, and protection is against
such natural hazards as drought,
wind, hail, fire, disease, insects,
etc.
Final date for the signing of crop
insurance applications for winter
wheat will be August 80, Mr.. Will
son stated.

Commodity Notes
Boon to Farmers

-Four major changes in the Fed
eral Crop Insurance Corporations
1912 program offering new con-
veniences to farmers insuring their
crops were announced today by
Fred Wilson, chairman of the Ben
ton county agricultural conserva-
ton association. 80
The changes, which include a
commodity note plan for the pay
ment of premiums, will stream
line, the crop insurance procedure
and will eliminate needless forms
in connection with applications and
premium payments, according to
Mr.. Wilson. .
These changes and the note
plan," said Wilson, "are a new con-
venience to farmers who insure
their next years wheat crop. The
application procedure has been re-
duced to the mere signing of a
single form, regardless Of how many
farms the applicant insures, and
the premium payment procedure
likewise has been sirnplified"
In the past the farmer had
to make a separate premium pay
ment for each farm insured, or
sign a separate assignment for
each insured farm by which the
corporation would deduct the
amount of his premium from his
AAA payments.
This year the operator may sign
a non-interest bearing commodity
note when he applies for insurance.
The note authorizes the corpora
tion to deduct the amount of the
premium from any indemnity the
farmer might receive, or from his
AAA payment or his wheat loan,
whichever is made first. These de-
auctions would be in the cash
equivalent of the premium. The
not will mature on August 10,
1912.
The grower may pay his note on
or before maturity in either wheat
or the cash equivalent ON the basis
Of the current market price OF
wheat the day he makes payment
The commodity note, Mr.. Wilson
pointed out, will apply to all farms
on which the farmer has an inter-
est in the wheat crop. In former
years many growers didn't know
how many farms they would OPP
crate when the time for ilsuring
the wheat crops ended. As a re-
suit some growers were deprived of
insurance on part of their crop
with the note plan, the grower will
automatically obtain insurance on
all his farms in his country even
though he decides to broaden his
operations after signing the note.
