Loan Program on
Spuds Liberalized

Liberalization of the potato loan
program to include all varieties
and to allow loans on u. S. No. 2
potatoes was announced this week,
according to information received
in the AAA office.
Loans can now be made either
on the basis of u. S. No. pota-
toes in the lot at the full loan
rate, or on the basis of the guam
tity of potatoes in the lot grad
ing u. S. No. of better at 500
of the full loan rate, whichever
results in the higher loan. Loans
are still made on a field run basis
either bulked or sacked.
Previously the loan and support
price were applicable only to Bur-
bank varieties, and only those lots
grading at least 504o U. S. No. l
were eligible for the loan.
Growers, dealers and coopera-
tive associations are eligible for
the loan and should make their
application to the county AAA
committee in Kennewick.

Ministers Organize
Inter-City Group

Ministers of this immediate To-
cality, including Kennewick, Pas
CO, Richland, Finley, Hover, Bur-
bank, and other near communities
met last Friday afternoon in the
study of the Kennewick Metho-
dist church and effected opening
steps for the organization of an
inter-city association. s.sr 49,: :.
The new organization of mini
sters will cooperate fully with the
recently launched Mid-C Columbia
Council of Churches, which covers
larger area and included large
numbers of church laymen, wo-
men and youth. It's principal
purpose and object will be to CO.
operate along lines of mutual adj
vantage and general promotion of
moral and religious matters in the
communities.
Committees were appointed last
week for drawing up a plan of
organization and for the nomin-
ating of officers. Regular meet
ings are to be held on the first
and third Mondays at 10 am.
Rev. Leo. w. Dyson and Rev. R.
B. Holden are on the committee
on constitution. Rev. p. j. Luvaas
is member of the nominating
group. Rev. j. B. Coan was Sc
lected to serve as acting chairman
and Rev. Gertrude DeBoer, as
secretary.

AAA to Maintain
Spud Prices

Price support on the late potato
crop will be maintained chiefly
through the non.recourse loan be-
ing offered to growers, cooper
alive association of growers and
dealers, according to word just
received by the AAA committee,
in areas where these loans are
available.
In certain areas and to limited
extent, Food Distribution Admin
istration will assist through the
purchase of potatoes from grow
ers for diversion into starch. Pur-
chases will be made at the equiva-
lent support price for US. No. 2
grade, however, potatoes need not
be actually graded as growers will
be paid on the basis of the per-
centage of potatoes in the lots
offered which meet grade speci-
fications as determined in inspec-
ton at the starch plants.
Food Distribution Administra-
ton will also, in some areas pur-
chase potatoes in amounts which
can be efficiently distributed free
to welfare cases, institutions, etc.
Such purchases and distribution,
therefore, will not exceed a total
of 1000 cars during the late potato
harvesting and marketing period
Purchases for this purpose will
be made in areas without ade-
quate marketing or storage IA
cilities where prices fall below
support levels. Purchases will not
be made in areas where the loan
program can fairly be said to
be available to producers. Coun-
ty War Boards are responsible
for determining when purchase
assistance is necessary. Govern
ment purchase is to be considered
as the last resort for selling pota.
toes at price support levels, every
other means of marketing should
be exhaused before a request fol
FDA purchase IS made.
Loans are available to Benton
County potato growers through
the AAA office. Complete in
formation may be obtained by
writing or calling the office al

eve visited Boulder Dam, Shas-
ia Dam, Bonneville Dam and
Grand Coulee Dam. They are all
new and are just now beginning
to do their part in the building of
the West. " 5,"f, :I.1
although they are new, these
great federal improvements are
responsible for one-half or. more
of the war production of the West
Coast. The power from these
makes aluminium for one-third of
our airplanes, powers the great
aircraft, shipbuilding and metal
lurgical plants from Canada to
Mexico, where nearly half of our
ships and planes are put together,
and operates chemical and light
metals plants of many types, all
new and all doing war work.
"The few millions of dollars
put into these great dams have
made the difference, in the West
between being able to do great
deal toward winning the war, and
being able to do nothing.
"Great as is the contribution of
these projects to the war, how
ever, the thing that intrigued me
most about them was the posi-
bilities they have opened for flu
ture development. They will ir-
rigate land and make new homes
for half a million people.
"One has only to drive through
as we did, the tens of millions
of acres of deserts, to understand
how important it is to use the
western water to irrigate land and
make homes. That is Our new
frontier, that and the new indus
rtial development of light metals
and chemicals and plastics that is
bound to follow the great devel-
opments in the West. 80 HI

lands will do. Forty or 80 acres
will produce good living for a
farmer. At Yakima, Wash, we
saw them growing beans, potatoes
and alfalfa on land that was still
in. sagebrush on March 1, 1913.
They are making a real contribu-
ton to the war food needs of this
country. - - -
81 measured a peach from an
irrigated orchard near Kennewick
and it was 1872 inches in circum-
ference. We saw vineyards and
asparagus fields and apple ORCH
ards, and towns and cities, all de-
veloped through irrigation in an
area that 40 years ago was not
inhabited by anything but jack
rabbits and rattlesnakes.
"Then we drove. across the Co.
lumbia River and there began a
trip of ITO miles long, straight
north to Ephrata. All the time
we were driving through dry land,
some of it typical desert. That is
the land that Grand Coulee Dam
will irrigate.
"It is as good land as there is
outdoors, but it is dry and now
produces nothing except a little
wheat around the edges. There
are 100000 acres of first-class
irrigible land in this Columbia
Basin, and on that land, which
will be divided into 40, so and
8O-acre plots, will be opportunities
