Urge Farmers to Plant
Sugar Beet Crop q -

Special effort on the part OF
Benton county farmers must be
made in order to assist our state
to reach its 1913 sugar beet goal
of $4,000 acres according to word
received from Chester Davis, food
administrator, through the Benton
County AAA Committee. Sugar
beets are one of the essential
crops for 1943 production and
growers should give every con-
sideration possible to increasing
their production in order to as
sure supply for all purposes in
the future.
Mr.. Davis states that the Depart
ment is giving labor and market
ing problems of this industry Wig
orous attention. Farmers who
may. hesitate to put in a crop be-
cause of financial conditions
should contact the War Board in
Kennewick for information on r
AAC loans.

No House Trailers
Except in Camps

Even the mayor can't get away
with permitting a trailer to park in
his orchard, according to action
taken at the meeting of the city
council last Tuesday night. An
exception was asked to the trailer
ordinance passed last year, to per-
init a railroad workman to sleep
on the job. -sr
8 While the request was made by
the health department, the council
took the attitude that no excep-
tions would be made to the strict
provisions of the ordinance. In
this they were backed up by DR..
Ripley's office, the sanitarian
pointing out the increasing danger
of epidemics with the over crowd
ing housing.
Only possible out is to provide
facilities according .to the health
ordinance, plus SIS inspection fee
and $25 license. Otherwise loca-
ton in a licensed camp or move
to another state.

Farm Slaughterers Must
Grade Meat Cuts

Grading of beef, veal, lamb and
mutton and the placing of the
grade on each wholesale cut is
another duty of farmers selling
these types of meat, according to
information, just received by the
War Board. Any farmer desiring
to secure the specifications for
grades of meat may obtain them
by calling or writing the AAA
office. E-.. -etE
Other points for farmers to re-
member in complying with the
new meat orders are that for each
month during which any sales are
made, he. must file with the local
War Price and Rationing Board
a prescribed report together with
the points collected and also that
he must comply with OPA ceiling
prices.
Current point values for the
sale of meat at wholesale are
at the AAA office. These
will be changed from time to
time so sellers, as well as consum-
ers, will want to keep posted on
these values.

Kennewick's Police to
Be Uniformed

Kennewick's days as quiet
peaceful country village are about
over. Latest evidence of the as.
sumption of metropolitan airs is
the fact that the city's police force
is about to blossom out in uni
forms. The force-all three of iem
have asked permission from the
city fathers to purchase uniforms.
Reason advanced was that due to
the increasing number of new peo-
pie filtering into the community,
not being acquainted, fail to recog-
nize the police when accosted. "A

Need Many More
To Fold DRESSINGS

The Red Cross surgical dressing
classes have moved from the
rooms above the bank to room
2l1 in the senior high school build
ing. Glasses are being held all
day every Tuesday from 900
am. to 500 pm. including the
noon hour and from ZOO to 1000
in the evening. The larger room
and more equipment makes it
possible for from 40 to so ladies
to work at the same time.
Kennewick's quota is from 2 to
3 thousand bandages a month
and up to now 400 week is the
most folded. Having all day classes
makes it possible for the in
dividual to come and work when
it is most convenient and does
not tie one to any special hour.
The women of Kennewick are
urged to put forth a special effort
to help with this work as the need
urgent at this time and the Red
S1OoS ID PalIhlS lOlIll every GIlOTI
to fill the ned. Ninety percent of
all the surgical dressings used
on the battlefronts are folded by
the Red Cross volunteer workers.
Many of the women who have
been working are needed to help
on the ranches now which means
that others must fill their places.
The workers are permitted to wear
a fresh cotton smock or one of
their husbands cotton shirts over
their street dress while working
instead of having to change their
dresses as has been necessary up
to now. Mrs. Bob Brown is chair
man and Mrs. Gene Spaulding vice
chairman. Anyone desiring more
information concerning these
classes is asked to call either of
these two who will be glad to
answer all questions.

arm Labor Camp
To Be Started
Here Monday
Local agencies arrange
for start, at least, of
housing outside labor

With shipments already start
ing, the problem of getting the
local asparagus crop harvested is
becoming acute, day by day. Re-
cruitment of school children to
work In the harvest. both here
and at Pasco has already been
accomplished and practically 80
percent of the upper classes have
enlisted for the. work.
Even with this number of local
workers, there is still a large
shortage Of prospective labor for
the harvest and local agencies are
working on this angle of the effort.
With the delay in passing the
appropriation bill in Congress, the
mobile farm labor camp scheduled
for Kennewick for the first Of this
month, has been delayed. How
ever, this difficulty has been
worked out through the effort
Of local business houses and the
chamber Of commerce, port dis
trict, etc. The camp will be started
the first Of next week, according
to word received from Glenn Rat
cliff this morning. Without funds
the camp appeared hopeless early
this week. However, rent for the
site has been arranged for, as
has also some labor for the cree
ton of the camp proper.
Finding occupants for the camp
after it has been set up, is still
another problem which will prob
ably have TO be worked out by the
federal authorities. If labor is
shipped in, farmers who request
such help will be required to
guarantee rs percent employment
for a 90-day period for such labor
as is shipped in from areas more
than 200 miles distant and does
not affect the local labor supply.
ASPARAGUS GROWERS
If you expect TO get help for
cutting grass il is imperative you
@SSAoASA l0dG hCGoo now WIFI
your local employment office az
Pasco. Arrangements will be
made for the supply provided
you are registered in ample
time 70 secure the labor.
Efforts to have the price of grass
increased due to increasing costs
has been granted by the national
OPA. Word has been received that
a one and half cent increase over
last years price has been granted.
Whether this means az cents or
more or less is not exactly known.
Word has been received from Cong.
Hal Holmes that the OPO has set
the lucent increase, which is
the final word.
Uncertainty as to the selling
price has also befuddled the grow
ers as to what they can pay for
cutting. 1t is hoped that by the
end of the week these figures can
be given definiate status.
