lays plans to secure

Eastern Washington has vast IA
cihtieS and resources for defense
work" and we are going to let the
government and the industrial lead

Graham, who came over from
Grand Coulee this morning. Ora
ham is executive secretary Of the
newly-formed Eastern Washington
branch Of the National Decentrali-

all defense jobs in a few towns"
said Graham, so their chamber OF
commerce president. Emil Sick, is
calling statewide meeting on Fri
day, October 3. 1&
We're going to be ready for that
meeting" said Graham. He will
compile a vast array Of information
from the replies coming from the
l06 towns.
Not only. will the Decentralization
league carry this data TO the Seattle
meeting, but ii will be printed in q
booklet and sent to all industrial,
political and business heads con-
nected with national defense work
and contract allotmentS.
In the Seattle Times, President
Sick Of the Seattle chamber says
the October meeting will inaug-
urate an immediate program to de-
termine what facilities exist in the
state for additional defense work"
This is Just what we have been
asking for" said Graham. Army,
navy and OPM representatives will
be at the meeting which Sick says
will be designed to acquaint small
er communities with the various
steps involved in obtaining defense
prime contracts and sub-contracts,
and to assist them in determining
possible facilities for such defense
projects as artillery and rifle ranges,
ammunition depots and secondary
troop bases" a III.
Seattle is one of the nations
leading cities in national defense al
locations" Sick said in the Seattle
Times. and he admitted that small
er communities throughout the state
nave lIUL IdIEO 700 well. ". #.#
The matter Of pooling facilities
will be discussed, Sick said. SHOPS
in small communities may not pos
sess the necessary facilities by them
selves, but II they were to combine
their tools and machinery with the

Deposits in Local
Bank Almost
Hit Million Mark
Totals largest in his
tory and denote good
condition of district
WNU Service)

What would you do with a million
dollars? " ..*-.- '."
The Kennewick branch of the Sc.
attic Bank of Commerce is JUS
about to achieve that figure-but
they already know what TO do with
it.
For the past week the bank de-
posts have been totalling just UNI
der the million dollar mark, altho
manager Ed Tweet things it might
possibly hit that figure at the close
Of today's business.
Scanning back over the banks
records for the past decade, Mr..
TWeet found that the low point oc-
CURED in 1888 when the deposits
amounted to only $26O,OO0. How
ever, in 1919, the previous high
mark was $8A,000, but from then
on until 1892 the deposits averaged
around the half million mark, fluc-
tuating from $500, 900 to $500, 900, de-
pending upon the time of year.
There's simply more money in
the community now" Mr.. Tweet
said. Crop returns generally have
been better this year than for sew
eral years past and the farmers have
a surplus left which is accounting
for the large deposits. Cherry re-
turns are In, asparagus money is in
and the wheat money is helping
out considerably, of course. AS a re-
suit, business houses generally have
more available cash resources and
everything is in much better fin
ancial condition than has been the
case for quite few years past. It's
a healthy outlook and one in which
the entire community can well feel
proud"
Mr.. Tweet has been with the bank
since 1913 and has seen many of
the ups and downs in the commun-
ity. He has seen the lush days when
the Highlands apple orchards sold
for exhorbitant prices and has seen
cases where one crop paid for the
entire farm. He saw also, the grad
ual decline o. the fruit business and
the transformation of the hundreds
of acres of beautiful apple orchards
into farm lands. He has seen the
hard times in the wheat country
when the ownership of a Horse
Heaven wheat ranch was the equiv
alent of a forecIosed mortgage. He
has also witnessed the reversal of
the same situation.
"Our district is now back to
earth. We have found out what can
be raised profitably here and most
of the farmers are making a go of
their jobs. ] think the district is,
on the whole, one of the best in the
state. There should be no violent
fluctuations from now on. We are
on a solid foundation and should
continue to be one of the best dis
tricts in the Pacific Northwest, even
without the addition of defense in
dustries which are making prosper
ity for the favored sections" MIR.
Tweet said.

County Ag. Com.
Urges Planting of
Austrian Peas
Good cash crop, soil
builder, good feed and
rates soil payments

In a right-about-face' the AAA
program for the coming year will
encourage an increase in farm pro-
ducts rather than attempting to
curtail production to prevent farm
SURPRISES, Harry Fleming told men,
bers of the Kennewick chamber of
commerce this noon. In addition,
a comprehensive survey of all farms
in the United States will be un-
dertaken in an attempt to suggest
the most profitable crop each dis
trict can produce in volume and
quantity.
The tentative program includes a
great increase of nearly all farm
products with the exception of
wheat and rye. Reason for the in
crease is the nations promise to
supply the warning democracies with
foodstuffs which they are unable
to produce during the war period.
With it's 40 million people to feed,
Britain has been promised that one
fourth will be supplied from the
farms in this country.
Mr.. Fleming is a member of the
Benton County Agricultural Con-
servation Committee, which Is now
working out another program for
Benton county farmers which holds
great promise, Mr.. Fleming thinks.
He and other members of the COM
mittee from all parts of the county,
who were in session today, were the
guests of the chamber this noon.
The committee, after investigation,
Is attempting to establish a pro-
gram of growing Austrian winter
peas for seed.
This crop is rapidly gaining in de-
mand as a green manure crop; also
to prevent wind and water erosion
in light soils. The straw is also an
excellent feed for cattle. Soil and
climatic conditions in Benton coun-
ty are ideal for the cultivation Of the
crop, i.ir. Fleming said, and guar
anteed price has been established
which should yield the grower one
hundred to one hundred fifty dol
lars per acre.
In addition to the cash value of
the crop, the growth adds nitro
gen to the soil and the hay Is val
liable as feed, besides the grower
qualities by its growth for S1.5O per
acre soil building payment.
The department is seeking to have
loo, 900 acres in this state devoted to
the raising of the seed peas and the
cost Of the seed may be deferred
until the crop is harvested. \ The
committee is asking the business
men of the community to help in
securing the tallotment of as many
acres of local farm land to this
purpose as possible. The chamber
is also cooperating and plans to |
hold special meeting for farmers
who might be interested in growing
this crop at next Thursdays lunch
