Pioneer Celebrates
Nintieth Birthday

Mrs. Lucy Bentley, one of Kenne.
wick's earliest pioneers, celebrated
her Goth birthday this week. Prob
ably the towns oldest citizen, she
qualities as pioneer by her @
years of Horse Heaven residence
starting in 1908. Homesteading in
Horse Heaven in those DAYS was
really something. Every drop OF
water used had to be hauled in
tank wagons from the river over
roads which were heavy-hanging
clouds of dust-the famous volcanic
ash soil. The roads were rutted un-
til the axles dragged, then a new
route was staked a little too one
side. No grading or surfacing in
those days. Often the trip was so
bad that visits to town meant stay
ing overnight. Dust storms so bad
that they frequently had to follow
fences to find their way about were
all in the days work.
Mrs. Bentley came to Kennewick
to live with her sons, Charles and
Frank. Charles now lives in Oregon,
but he was home to visit his mother
on her birthday. She had made her
home with Frank for many years,
and it was there that the friends
called to felicitate Mrs. Bentley.

Kernels in Unharvested
Wheat Sprouting
LOCUST GROVE
LOCUST GROVE

Local wheat farmers are amazed
at the rapidity with which the
seeded wheat is growing. Fields
seeded Monday were showing green
Saturday. With much moisture and
the present sunshine on the warm
ground seeded wheat fields will soon
look unusually green for this sea-
son of the year. An interesting fact
about this years moisture comes
to our attention with the tales told
by those who were not able to get
their harvest completed at this
date that the wheat kernels in the
heads of unharvested wheat are
sprouting and growing there.

is also evident at the r. K. SAT-

Horse Heaven Mourns
Loss of Pioneer MatrOn

LOCUST GRovE-Death claimed
one of the earliest ,pioneers of the
Horse Heaven area Thursday, when
Mrs. Charles Nicoson zsuccumbed
from a sudden heart attack while at
the breakfast table.
Mrs. Nicoson was elderly and UNI
til the last three years was able
to take care Of their ranch home. At
that time severe pneumonia in
ness resulting in weakened heart
forced her to be a: semi-invalid,
much against her wishes. This last
year was the first time she had
ever missed the trip to Pendleton
for the annual Pendleton Round-u
In which she was very much inter-
ested. No amount of talking could
ever persuade her to leave her home
in the hills, where she spent most
of her life. The community pauses
to pay tribute to a pioneer of the
hills.

Federal Land Bank.
Asks Farmers to Prepay

Benton county FARMERS who have
Federal Land Bank loans not only
can protect their future, but make
profitable investment by paving
in TO a new future payment fund
plan inaugurated by the bank, Clar-
ence w. Dykes, Prosser, secretary
treasurer of the National Farm Loan
Association serving Benton county
announced this week. In addition,
Dykes said, such funds will make a
real contribution to national defense.
Such future payment funds are
deposits against future loan install
ments and interest. Dykes said. They
are designed specifically to protect
the farmer against future lean
years, Such funds will not be ap-
piled on the loan until the farmer
so instructs the land bank, unless
by. some mischance he is unable to
make his regular payments, in which
case the deposit would be applied
automatically.
Future payment funds will draw
interest at the same date the far
mer pays on his mortgage loan,
Dykes explained.
"A future payment fund created
by farmers under this plan will in
crease the amount available for the
Federal Land Bank to invest in gov
eminent securities" Dykes pointed
out. THAT means that while the
farmer is protecting his farm and
home for the future, and while his
investment is earning a good rate
of interest, his money at the same
time will be doing service for ma
tional defense through reinvestment
by the land bank"

Fire of Unknown Origin
Destroys Ranch Home

WHITE BLUFFS-Fire of un-
known origin destroyed the ranch
home of B. F. Arnold early We'd
nesday morning. Mr. Arnold, who
does not smoke informs us that he
had finished milking five of his six
COWS when he was attracted by a
cracking sound on the back porch.
The fire in the kitchen ranch had
not been Lit; Mrs. Arnold and their
son, Dick, had left for the apple
packing season at Teton on Mon
day, which left him alone at home.
He says that he could have saved
the house had it not been that a
fuse blew out rendering the water
pump useless. Mr.. and Mrs. Bert
Martin, a neighbor about a half
mile distant, seeing the smoke, ar
rived in time to assist in saving
most of the furniture. They were
unable to save the piano, due to the
smoke and intense heat. There was
no insurance.
Fred Gilhuly, jr. and Jack Gilhuly
accompanied by Mrs. Irving Hol-
Strom left for Seattle Wednesday
morning. Fred will take six weeks
preliminary training in aeronautics
in the air corps of the naval reserve,
entering on october at Sand Point
Field. Jack will enter the Universe
ty of Washington for his second
years study and Mrs. Holstrom to
spend a week in Seattle with her
husband, Irving T. Hallstrom, on
his arrival with a truckload Of furn-
iture, the same day. After spend
ing a weeks vacation, Mr. and Mrs.
HallStrom will reside in Portland,
Oregon, where Mr. Hallstrom will be
employed with the Bonneville Power
Administration.

The strict economy under which
both Britain and Germany are op-
Grating to make their productive
efforts go as far as possible are all
the example needed to illustrate the
point. S-.-Z-aF =
The possibilities of farm chemurgy
have still another, more indirect re-
lation to defense. The nation, re-
Numbering ruefully the terrific
scramble in which the last war left
the nations production program, is
attempting this time to move along
with eyes open, trying by keeping
one eye on the future to avoid the
production mistakes that upset the
nations balance for years. 80. H..
A sound development Of this re-
gion on a chemurgic basis would
appear to offer one means of cush-
ioning the letdoWn that will follow
the crisis, when demand returns to
normal. Plants worked out now
capable of converting agricultural
products into industrial materials
could be given the task of consum-
ing the SURPRISES which are likely
to result from the present speed-up.
The Columbia river region has
other reason, too, to look to the
future. Thousands of new acres
watered from Grand Coulee dam will
add their yields to the already large
production of the region. Some
provision must be made to con-
sumo this yield unless it is to add to
the present national SURPRISES or
crowd out some already reproducing
and unsubsidized acres.

.Ullemergy Is Peace
as Well as War
Time Activity ::
New, farm areas to
create more pressing
need of new outlets
BY H. w DERRY

Manager, New Industries Dept.
Pacific Power 81 Light Company
| The farm. chemurgic program i
essentially a program of peacetime
founded on principles of production
| rather than destruction. A natura
question is, How does it fit in with
a program for all-out national de.
Tense?
AS mentioned previously there is q
very obvious part that the che
murgic plan can play in the defense
effort. 1T can help supply substitute
materials to replace, for civilian
uses, those materials needed for de-
Tense. =. g..
This goes deeper than just being
the deciding factor whether some
article, even though made of sub
stitute material, will be available for
civilian use If successful, such eff
fort might well be the deciding
factor whether entire industries,
their normal materials either cur
tailed or shut off by defense de-
mand, close down.
Lie pOSSlpluGy GlldG DIS iIluCI1 DIS
one third of American industry may
be faced with the necessity of clos
ing down from this cause before the
end Of the summer was expressed in
mid-June by Peter r. Nehemkis, Jr.,
a member of the OPM defense con-
tract service.
GAS the tempo of the wartime
economy gains momentum" he said,
"you many expect to find for time
not less, but more Unemployment;
not less, but more idle machines"
If chemurgic materials can avert
such a shutdown Of industry, the
movement will have helped the de-
Tense effort immensely by keeping
production and wealth ting &C
tivity, from which taxes may be de-
rived to finance the defense effort,
in motion. ....
In still another way this program
can be valuable ally of the nation
al defense effort. BY its very nature
it is a relentless war on waste, and
certainly anything which makes hui
man effort go farther and accom-
plish more is a step toward the in
tense speed-up of production which
the nation is making as it's answer
to threats against democracy.
Tight fistedness has no place in
the defense effort. But neither has
careless waste. One may delay pro-
ductive effort, the other dissipates it. J

Explosion and fire des-
