NATIONAL LINES
ASK FIELD HELP

The utilization of Bluethenthal
Field for airline service appeared
nearer yesterday with the receipt
of a letter from an official OF Ma
tiona] Airlines by Walter j. Car
tier, requesting assistance in OBJ
tanning use of the base Tor opera
tons.
The field, one of the largest and
most modern landing OUTLAWS IN
the South, has Accommodated ships
of the largest types, including B.
29's and would be adequate, with
the addition of airline station
equipment, for any type of air
line operation.
In his letter of August 81, re-
ceived yesterday, the airline off,
eial wrote: ANY assistance you
nav offer through correspondence
to the Civil Aeronautics Board and
to the commanding officer, Blue
thenthal Army Air Field will be
most appreciated. If the approval
is forthcoming, we hope to inaugu-
rate service into Wilmington this
fall "
The National official also re-
called that on May II the airline
made formal application to the
CAB for reconsideration of its ap-
plication TO serve Wilmington as
an intermediate point on their
Jacksonville-New York scheduled
operations. And on August 81, the
airline forwarded an additional re-
quest to the board for an early
answer.
Pursuant to a resolution adopted
at Tuesdays meeting OF the Board
of County Commissioners, letter
was being drafted to National All
Lines, requesting that they re-apply
to the Army Air Forces for use
of the field, but had not been
dispatched when the letter was
received yesterday from the air
lime.
Mr.. Cartier said that the plan
now is to assure National OF Will
mington's desire to support Its
application before the CAB, and
to inform it of the understanding
here that the airport will soon be
available for commercial use.
It will also be recommended, as
suggested Tuesday, however, that
the airline apply to the First ALT
Force in Washington for permls-
sion to land at the field.
It is understood here that OIL.
cials at Bluethenthal have assured
the city and county of their will
ingness to cooperate with any IN
structions they receive from the
First Air Force as to the use OF
the field.

(BY WALTER CLICK

Your editor asked for a little
summary Of what had happened
in the Extension service of Ben
ton county during the past year.
In the first place, the Extension
service Of Benton county is an
educational agency and repre-
sentative of the State college of
Washington. Personnel for the Of
flee has consisted of the county
agent, Walter L. Click, and the
assistant agent in home economics,
Mrs. Gladys Bolon, and the office
secretary. In addition during the
wartime emergency, the office of
farm labor has been established
by the Extension service and Mr..
c. E. Ridley has been in charge.
OF course, it would not be pos
sible in a brief article to describe
all the activities of the service
but an attempt will be made to
mention few of the outstanding

lens. Turkey and poultry also de-
mands some attention.
The most important farm crop
in any county is our boys and
girls, and All club work has re-
ceived attention. Last year nearly
100 members carried regular pro-
jects and $50 completed. These
youngsters had projects in cloth
ing, cooking, dairy, garden, beef
service and canning. Club camps,
picnics, raffles, and fun exhibits
provided the recreation and fun
along with the work for these
Alters.
The Extension program of farm
labor has taken considerable time.
The Kennewick, Pasco area is one
in which a great deal Of seasonal
farm labor is needed. c. e. Ridley,
farm labor assistant, has repre-
sented the Extension service in
the placement of Mexican nation
ais and the domestic farm labor.
A total of 1928 placements of
farm labor was made for the past
year. OF these 6,2l4 were men,
l,795 women and 1928 youths.
There were no crops in this coun-,
ty lost for lack of labor during
the past season.
AS a tax supported public Of
flee, the county Extension service
invites the public to make use of
its services. We would like also
to thank all those volunteer lead
ers, public minded citizens, and
others interested in agriculture for
their time, energies and support.

the most popular phase Of home
improvement WORK. Help with
housing increased as building ma
terials become available.
Plans for the coming year In all
women's and girls work Is plan
ned around interests of the various
groups, making their needs known.
County Agent
Horticulture, with its various
products, constitute the largest
farm enterprise. If we take into
consideration all the fruits, the
truck crops, and special crops like
peppermint and potatoes, q great
part Of the county agents time
has been spent on that enterprise.
For instance, the peppermint
problem of Benton county has re-
ceived a great deal of thought.
Working closely with DR.. J. L.
st. John of the Experiment sta
ton on research and educational
meetings, farmers know a great
deal more about their mint oil
production than before. Care of
handling, management factors,
distillation procedure and other
phases have been studied and de-
scribed. At least z public meetings
have been held during the year
on the mint question.
Then we have the problem of
low fertility - orchards. Advice
has been given to not less than
two hundred growers on fertiliza-
ton problems.
Insects have been a serious
problem and much has been done
to give advice on insect control.
Through the newspaper articles in
this column and through personal
contact, much information was
given on control of cutworms, as
paragus beetle, wireworm, corn
ear worm, aphides, fruit insects
and others. Cutworms were es-
pecially injurious last spring and
a 100 acre field Of asparagus was
saved from the ravages Of these
insects. Small fruit trees were at
tackled by the cutworm and ad-
vice was given for control.
Weeds are q serious menace to
agriculture of this county. Even
though there is no weed control
program, much was done in
answering questions about weeds
and in making the public more
weed conscious. It is hoped q weed
control area can be established.
While livestock Is not an i'm
portant industry in Benton county.
some work was done on dairy
service and beef production prob

projects worked on and to relate
results achieved. Extensions job,
in addition to supplying actual in
formation on agriculture and home
economics, is to develop leader
ship, to give farm people greater
insight into better farm living, to
develop a philosophy Of life, to
train young people in approved
latest methods of farming and
rural homemaking. The Extension
service it is said, must be an
educator, leader, scientist, philos-
opher, demonstration and teacher.
To give q few figures on activi-
ties of the Benton County Ex-
tension office, the annual report
of the past IL months shows the
following:
Number of farm and home visits,

Home Economics

Home Economics
The home economic part of Ex-
tension is carried on through
eleven Women's Extension club
groups and other organized groups
in the county. The assistant agent
works with the All girls clubs,
through their leaders. During the
last year IS such groups have been
organized and work completed in
Is with 2 new clubs since Oct. 1.
The women's work centers
around projects Of food, clothing,
home furnishings and home i'm
provement. The food work was
divided into nutrition, food prep
aration and food preservation. The
nutrition, was given by illustrated
lectures, news reports and demon
STATIONS before clubs and other
groups such as Red Cross and
Oranges. Five methods Of demon
stration on preparing one dish
meals, seven demonstrations on
dressing two chickens and prepar-
ing them for storage in freezer
lockers, were given In various
communities, one of these was
given before senior high school
students.

Because, if extension is to ser
vice the entire county and all its
rural peoples, it must of necessity
work with groups Of people rather
than with individuals. There has
been individual advice given, and
service calls made, but in the
main, the work has been with
groups or clubs. AS an illustration,
the county agent will not come out
to farm and prune your grapes
or Gull your chickens. However,
he will arrange tour or meeting
where he will demonstrate grape
pruning or the culling Of chickens.
The difference is great.
Extension service Of Benton
county, has several ways or
methods of giving information to
farmers and rural homemakers.
Through meetings, tours, demon
STATIONS, newspaper articles,
radio, All clubs, home economies
clubs, office and telephone calls,
bulletins and other printed matter,
interested persons have found
many answers to their problems.
As stated earlier, Extension SER
vice is an educational agency.
However during the wartime,
many duties were thrust upon it
which were rather administrative
in nature. With the cessation or
lessening of regulations, it is hoped
that less time will need to be
spent with these Interruptions
from organized educational pro-
gram of leadership building.
