HOME INDUSTRY

The Sidewalk Reporter, in an
other column, remarks facetlouSly
about Kennewick people attend
ing Pasco theatres. This is not en-
tirely a humorous subject, but one
which Kennewick people would
do we'll to give serious considera-
ton.
Without any desire on our part
to engender animoSitieS toward
our sister city, we would like to
present some pertinent facts. Ac-
cording to a definite statement
from Manager Miller, every show
that flickers on Pasco screens will
also show in KenneWick. The first
rate pictures will appear at the
Benton within a short time after
the Pasco date. In last weeks
Courier-Reporter one particular
first-run feature was advertised
for both towns. Sometimes there
will be a differential of a few
weeks.
The Benton is a modern, COM
Portable theatre and is one of the
best things that has happened to
Kennewick in many years. The
type of pictures shown will be de-
termined in some degree by the
attendance. If you want to help
pick your favorite type of entire
tainment be sure to attend the
shows you want to see at the Ben
ton.
There is question in some peo-
pies minds as to why features
arrive in this area. much later
than in the bigger cities. There is
simple reason for this: In those
centers patrons are paying up to
eighty-five cents for the privilege
of standing in lines to see films
hot off the Hollywood cameras.
The local management feels JUS
titled in keeping us waiting a
short time in order to keep adj

MAY DANISH INSECTS

Normally among the most con-
sentative of scientists, members
of the American Association of
Economic Entemologists shook off
all restraint in New York City
the other day, and declared that
''never in the history of entemol-
ogy has a chemical been discover
ed that offers such promise to
mankind for relief from his in
sect problems as DDT." The pub
lie had received this impression
year ago; now the scientists
have confirmed it after further
investigation.
Experimental work in many
states has demonstrated that DOT
is effective in fighting spotato
insects, many orchard and vine
yard pests, numerous vegetable
insects, as well as the chief in
sect enemies of vitality important
seed crops. It appears to be
effective against the pink boil
worm. Farm Journal. $685..

mission prices down to the level
of all.
Another item which should APP
peal to the loyalty of local people
is the fact that the city collects
two cents from every admission.
Well leave it to the statisticians
to figure out what that amounts
to in the Golfers at the city hall.
But the city of Kennewick does
not collect tax off admissions
paid in Pasco.
There is no objection to an &C.
casional visit to Pasco theatres
and by the same token :Pascoites
will be welcomed when they visit
our show houses. But let's not
make it a habit. Let's support a
home town industry-one that de-
serves wholehearted support.

whether you will have plenty of
poultry products, the following
has Just been released from the
War Food Administration:
Poultry producers are urged to
increase chicken meat production
to meet increased military re-
uuirements and to supplement
meat supplies in the summer and
early fall during the seasonally
low period in livestock market
ing, according to the War Food
Administration.
Poultry meat is needed in in
creased quantities this year, par
ticularly for military hospitals.
Military requirements of about
go million pounds are nearly
double the amount purchased by
the military last year. Under the
provisions of a WA setaside
order, the military forces are buy
ing practically all the broilers in
the four great broiler producing
areas of the country and the en-
tire output of canned chicken
is being purchased by the mill
tary.
In asking for increased chick
en- production, WA officials urg-
ed that farmers raise chicks for
meat purposes as early as poSs-
ible. Farmers who place orders
for extra chicks Immediately
should be able to begin market
ing their birds by late July.
In addition to helping to meet
military requirements and cas-
ing shortage of meat supplies for
civilians, farmers who market
their extra meat chickens as early
as possible will avoid overload
ing dressing plants in the late
fall months during the peak Of
chicken and turkey marketing
season.
Less Labor With Pastures
IRRIGATED Pastures for Central
Washington" is a recent bulletin
published by agronomists of the
State College of Washington at
Pullman. The bulletin can be Sc
cured at the local county extern
sion office.
Increased use of pastures great
ly reduces labor requirements
during periods of labor shortages
and much less power, machinery,
seed, and fertilizer are required
as compared to cultivated crops,
according to agonomist special
lists. Among legumes, alfalfa is
best adapted to well-drained, deep
soils and should not be used
where flooding occurs or where
the water table is close to the
soil surface. Ladino and white
clover do not need such deep,
well-drained soils as alfalfa.
These clovers require frequent
irrigation for best production and
both do well in mixtures with
grasses. Alsike clover will grow
well on poorly drained, alkali
soils and it will tolerate some
flooding Strawberry clover can
be used on wet soils. They may
be slightly alkaline, although the
yields will be higher on more
favorable locations. ...r
Included in the information
about irrigated pastures is inform
alton on grasses and where they
can be used, mixtures, prepara-
ton of land for irrigation, seeded
preparation and seeding, and con-
trolled grazing for high yield.
