Delegation Sends
Answers to Wire

Recently Pomona Grange pro-
tested to our. congressional dele
cation about the United States
furnishing money for the develop
ment of a huge power plant in
Canada. They sent the following
telegram to each of the Washing
ton members:
Benton. County Pomona
Grange urges you to use your
energy and ability to the fullest
extent in pressing the investi-
CATION of the financing of the
Canadian dam and aluminium
plant.
Replies have been received from
Reps. John M. Coffee, Henry M
Jackson, Warren Magnusson, Fred
Norman and Hal Holmes and Sens.
Mon Wallgren and Homer T. Bone
All of them except Coffee more or
less passed the buck, but Coffee
replied: 'In reply to your wire
urging me to press the investiga-
ton of the Shipshaw project in
Canada, please be assured that
shall do everything in my, power
to expose and end such outrageous
determinations and sell-outs."

No Celebration;
New Flags, Maybe

Apparently there will be no To-
cal celebration on the Fourth of
July. Business men at the cham
Der of commerce this noon indi-
Gated an almost complete lack OF
interest in any activity for that
day. Whether it's because they
are otiose or too busy to bother
with it is anybody's guess.
However, the talk may result in
the towns replacing the soiled
and tattered flags which are used
to decorate" the streets on holi-
days. The flags were purchased
years ago by individual business
houses and the city has had charge
of putting them up and taking
them down again on such &C.
casions. The proposal is now that
the Legion again sponsor Cor per-
haps pay) for new set of flags for
the purpose. -

Quotas on Equipment
Are Cancelled

Cancellation of county quotas
on all types of farm machinery
has been announced by the Wash
ington USDA War Board with the
exception of the following: Com
bines, potato diggers, side delivery
>rakes, including combination side
rakes and tedders, hay leaders,
pickup hay balers, potato sorters
and graders, wheel-type tractors
and garden tractors.
State quotas on all machinery
previously under quotas are still
in effect but distribution to coun-
ties will be based upon need for
and availability of the machinery.
Applications for machinery and
equipment will be filed as in the
past with the county farm ma
chinery rationing committee which
committee will pass on the ELI
gibility of the applicant, depending
upon his mead. At the time of filing
such application, the applicant is
required to file a written certifi-
cation in which he indicates that
the machinery is available, the
name and address of the dealer
who has the machinery and that he
has assurance from the dealer that
delivery will be made if a pur-
chase certificate is issued.
In order. to prevent machinery
which is vitality needed from being
tied up, the county farm machin-
cry rationing committee has been
given the authority to shorten to
10 days, if they see best, the period
of time allotted for the purchase
of the equipment.
It is believed this method of
distribution for farm machinery
will prove more satisfactory as
there is less danger of machinery
having to stay on a dealers floor
awaiting the issuance of a pur-
chase certificate from a particular
county.

Council Ducks
Responsibility Res ''ll Of
Carnival Return
Show asks return en-
= gagement; may ban all
gambling during stay

The American United Carnival
which recently had an appearance
here, apparently did all right for
themselves, for they have applied
for permission to play a return
engagement either for the Fourth
of July or Labor Day. Their
application was made through the
local American Legion Post.
The proposal caused consider
able discussion among the council
men, who recalled the complaint
made when the show was here a
week or two ago when workman
lost $160 on a gambling device run
on the grounds. As there We're but
four councilmen present, and one
Art Carpenter-had already
shown his stand on carnivals by
moving, at the last meeting that
the outfit be required to pull out
the next day, Mayor Anon pro-
posed that the matter be deferred
until there was a larger attend
ance, as it would require a ma
jority vote to issue the permit.
Probably the permit will be is
sued-but likely upon the condi-
ton that no gambling games be
permitted to. operate on the
grounds. Councilmen have no
objections, apparently to the rides,
games and shows, but feel they
must protect citizens, however
gullable, from the wiles of the
crafty slicker who would do 'em
out of their money while tempting
said citizens with the POSSIBILITY of
beating the slicker at his own
game.

Hail Damage
Is Not General

Kennewick's unseemly weather
the. first of the week, the violent
haiIstorm, did considerable dam
ose to the cherry crop in certain
sections, according to a report
made this noon at the chamber Of
commerce by Mckinley Desgrang-
cs, manager of the Big Y plant
here. In a strip in the Garden
Tracts, he estimates the damage
as high as IS percent Of the total
crop.
At Richland and at Hover there
has been no damage reported as
well as on the South Highlands
The fury of the storm seemed to hi
q comparatively narrow STRIP
along the River Road. The hal
did no damage to the peaches OF
prunes according to the report
The hail will increase the need
for labor during the cherry harvest
Desgranges said, as it will requirs
q much larger number Of sorters tx
handle the crop. He expects the
crop to begin arriving at the ware
house about the 18th Of the month
Shortly thereafter the crew re
ouired there will be about 20(
women and about 40 men. He ex-
poets to have to put UP "yelp fol-
help for the women Of the com
munity again during the harvest
ing season. -
The plant has installed new lines
of belts this year for the con
venience Of the sorters and Des-
oranges expects to be able to
handle the crop this year in les:
time than in normal years because
of the additional equipment.

New Ford Agency
To Be Opened at
Former Location
No cars yet, but fac
tory-trained mechanics
to operate repair shop

Kennewick is again to have a
Ford agency, according to an an
nouncement being made in the
advertising columns of this issue.
The new agency will be known as
the S & ] Motor Company and
they will occupy the building
formerly used as the E. c. Smith
Motor Co. on Benton street.
+ The S & ] stand for the initials
of the new owners-W. A. Simonds
and A. G. Jewell, both of Seattle.
The former will be in active
charge, while Mr.. Jewell will be
a silent. partner. Mr.. Simonds
is already here and is getting the
building arranged for the new
equipment which has been pur-
chased and is only awaiting the
securing of truck for transporta-
ton to Kennewick from the coast.
The company will have the authS
orized sales and service for the
Ford products, but of course as
yet there are no cars obtainable.
Mr.. Simonds, however, anticipates
the arrival of several of the new
Victory trucks some time this
year. When the manufacturers get
back into production all the Ford
products will be handled. In the
meantime the company announces
the establishment of the repair
garage with factory trained en-
ployees in charge.

Population More
Than Tripled

My, how big our cat has grown!
The last federal census credited
Kennewick with a total popula-
ton of 1913. This week Postmaster
f. H. Lincoln states that there
have been more than that number
of applications turned in to his
office for Ration Book No. 8.
AS the application books are for
family units, the better than two
thousand applications already re-
ceived indicate that number of
families. Counting the normal
three and a half members to a
family, Kennewick population
rates something over $500 people.
This, too, with more than week
to go on receiving the appica-
ton blanks.

Kennewick's history from the
standpoint of issuing building per-
mits. More than a quarter of a
million dollars worth of building
operations were granted by the
city-S237, 759 to be exact. The
largest portion of this amount, of
couise was the permit issued to
Grlggs for the construction of So
residences in the eastern part of
Town. The new concrete pipe
pant asked for a $4,000 permit
ior the construction of buildings
ier their plant, and CampbelPs
si2eO permits for two rest rooms
accounts for the next biggest item.
Included with the chiefs re-
Fort submitted to the council Tues
gay night was the police report
which showed 80 arrests-more
.nan many a full years records in
toimer years. The city collected
s5S2 plus Jour days work on the
streets as result of the police

New Synthetic Tire on
Display i'm Courier Office

One of the new synthetic rub
Der tires is on display in the
Courier Reporter office window.
It is of Sieberling make and be-
longs to the local dealer L. II.
.Babcock. He claims the new tire
will give $4,000 miles, is better
than rubber for hot countries,
but not so good for zero weather.
The new rubber is impervious to
oil and gas damage. 1t smells
like Old Harry. MIR. Babcock has
la supply Of the new tires in the
cookie and 6.50x16 and expects
to have more in the smaller sizes
some time this month. This is
the first synthetic rubber tire
many of the local citizens have
seen and is attracting no small
amount of attention.

Court Orders
Payment in
Richland Case
State Official Files
Condemnation Suit
For Track Road

Partial payment on a tract Of
land in the Richland district con-
demned by the government was
ordered by the federal district
court Saturday. The owners, Glenn
e2t A. Albert and Helen Albert,
husband and wife, and Clemence
Albert, were paid $3478.13 while
$396.87 was paid to the federal
farm mortgage corporation to
liquidate a mortgage held by that
corporation on the property, ac-
cording to a story carried by the
Yakima Herald this week.
The government had deposited
$4,000 with the court, that amount
being the figure at which the tract
had been appraised. Twenty per-
cent of the amount deposited was
retained to take care Of taxes on
the land and equities that any par
ty might have in the property.
In addition, SIPS was retained to
cover irrigation assessments.
Lana owners t1odro
The payment Of $3478.13 was
made to the defendants in the case
without prejudice and they are
free to sue the government for a
higher valuation on the tracts than
$4,000, should they elect to do so.
Pre-trial arguments in the con-
defamation action Of the govern
ment against the Priest Rapids ir-
Irrigation district and a group Of
land owners of the Richland dis
trict were heard by the court in
the forenoon session. M. NJ. Moul-
ton of Kennewick, counsel for the
district, argued that the govern
ment in settling with owners
whose land was condemned should
take into account the interest each
Landowner has in the Priest Rap
ids power plant.
On motion Of Charles Powell Of
Kennewiclk, attorney for the Rich
land landowners, Harold A. Peb-
bles of Olympia, representative Of
the state, was permitted to partici-
pate in the case. The state asked
permission to intervene in the case
since It holds $4,000 worth Of
district bonds. Bernard f. Ram
sey, representative Of the federal
government, agreed to the partici-
lpation.
Action on a motion by Moulton
that the court establish sequence
of the trial was deferred. The mo-
ton by Alex Parke and others
and S. e. Bowers and others for
setting dates for the trial was con-
tinued until decision has been
made by the court on the motion
by Moulton on behalf Of the Priest
Rapids irrigation district.

Farmers Must Sign for
Incentive Payments

Incentive payments to Benton
county farmers for seeding in ex-
cess of 90 percent of their potato
goal or truck crop goal are de-
pendent upon them signing Form
ACP-140, Intention to Participate
in the Irish Potato and Truck Crop
Payments. This form has just
been received by the Benton
county AAA committee and is be-
ing sent out this week to farmers
so they will have ample time to
file it in the office by the deadline
date, June 80.
Any farmer who has any inten-
ton of raising three acres or more
of Irish potatoes and three acres
or more of the approved truck
crops should make sure that this
form is signed.
The average payment to the po-
tato producers will be $3.50 per
acre on the acreage in excess OF
so percent of the farm goal up
to 10 percent of such goal. Thus,
man with a 10-acre goal who
raises II acres of potatoes will
receive an incentive payment of
$3.50 on two acres, or total pay
ment of $165, based on the aver
age production for, the county OF
165 bushels per acre. Payments
will vary as average yields vary.
Farm goals are being established
for individual growers principal
ly on the basis of the acreage each
individual will be able to produce
in 1943.
Truck crops approved for in
centive payments are carrots, snap
beans, lima beans, beets, tomatoes,
cabbage, onions and green peas
for fresh market, the rate of pay
ment being $50 per acre on the
acreage in excess of 90 percent Of
the farm goal up to 10 percent OF
such goal.
These payments are made to
farmers by the government to en-
courage the production of these
much-needed crops and it is the
earnest desire of the Benton coun-
ty AAA committee that every
producer avail himself of this OPP
portunity to make himself eligible.
Forms may be obtained from the
AAA office in Kennewick for the
producer who does not receive one
in the mail.
