Heller Delivers First
Lug OF '6 AsnaraguS

First lug of 1916 asparagus was
received Saturday at Pacific Fruit
and brought a premium price OF
Is cents per pound. It was de-
livered by L. Heller who has a
farm near Finley.
Cool weather early this week
slowed the crop but it is expected
that by Saturday the grass will
be coming on rapidly.
At least one Kennewick resi-
dent won a bet that the first grass
would be cut by April 8.

Grape Yield Is
Hiqh In Area

A further study Of the 1916
grape crop shows that there were
some misleading figures in the
original report. This is explained
in the fact that 464 acres Of grapes
in the Olmstead Addition were not
included in the report.
This acreage is a high produc-
ing area. For the entire Highlands
and Olmstead afea the total acre
age reaches 7O1. Total yield was
1888, POI pounds for an average
Of II, 1896 per acre. This shows q
per acre average of $341.86. In
asmuch as this acreage includes
all new paintings the average for
bearing vineyards would be much
higher.

Red Cross Drive
Ends; Quota Is
Nearly Reached

Mrs. Harold Fyfe, general chair
man Of KenneWick's Red Cross
fund drive, has prepared a state
ment describing the activities and
results of the campaign. Follow
ing is her report:
OF the $1,000 that Kennewick
and vicinity was asked to raise
in the 1916 Red Cross Fund cam
paign, a total of S., 597.5 was con-
tributed. To this may be added
our proportionate share of certain
gifts that were sent directly to
the Richland office for the entire
county. When this is added to our
local fund, we find ourselves but
little more than 500 short Of the
goal.
Many people, largely women,
canvassed the entire area as thor
ough1y as possible and to this
group goes the credit for the
money collected. A number OF
high school girls assisted in spe-
cial tasks. These people gave many
hours of their time to the drive.
The committee does not feel un-
duly discouraged because the
quota was not reached. A con-
siderable number of our citizens
are employed in three large in
stallations outside our zone where
they gave to Red Cross even
though it did not add to our total.
Some criticism of the Red Cross
overseas was encountered by vol
unteer workers, but so far as
these can be sifted out, they did
not come from men who were
wounded or who had occasion ia
request emergency assistance but
from men visiting canteens or SER
vice clubs for recreation and
where they paid for supplies dis
tributed by the Red Cross. The
armed services requested this. Men
who had been in hospitals spoke
appreciatively Of the services they
received from Red Cross workers
without cost.
It is earnestly hoped that the
people prone to criticize the or
ganization Of the Red Cross will
stop and consider the immensely
of the task undertaken to give
service to nearly eleven million
men under the pressure Of war
time conditions when these men
were scattered over the entire
earth. The American Red Cross
will be happy to investigate the
conditions surrounding any injus-
tice done by members Of their or
ganization If the facts are pre-
sented at the nearest Red Cross
office.
That many people are interested
| in helping the unfortunate in war
torn countries, or in places swept
by tidal waves, or the returning
service man, is evidenced by the
fine response which put US SC
near the top Of our goal. AS chair
man, may. I thank all the people
volunteers and contributors, fol
their cooperation in meeting Ken
newicl's share in the Red Cross
campaign.
