Report
BY DAVID JAMES

With dairying becoming one OF
our important industries in Ben
ton county many of our daIrymen
have become interested in artlflc-
ial dissemination.
The technique of artificial in
semination is not new, but only IN
recent years has it been used on
large scale. Considerable use has
been made of it in the Union OF
Soviet Socialist Republics and 9th
er countries. In the United States
there is wide interest in the sub
ject: much research is under way,
new techniques are being devel-
oped. old ones are being improv-
ed, and it seems probable that the
use of artificial dissemination will
continue to increase. The most
extensive development in the use
of artificial dissemination in this
country has been with dairy cattle
large numbers of cows are now
bred to bulls maintained at cen
trail points. In March 1941 the
number of cows recorded in coop
erative artificial dissemination as
sciations for dairy cattle was TO-
ISL and 127 bulls were being used.
The technique has also been used,
less extensively, with beef cattle,
horses, sheep, goats, swine, poul-
try and fur-bearing animals.
The basic reason for developing
artificial dissemination has been
to increase the usefulness of out
standing SireS. There are other
advantages of the technique over
natural breeding, however, one
being that it aids in controlling
certain diseases. Many diseases
that attack the reproductive or
CANS and glands of animals may
be spread by sexual intercourse,
and some are transmitted only in
this way. Artificial dissemination
can be used to prevent the spread
of a disease from one female to
another through the male. If inn
properly practiced, however, 1t
may be the means of spreading
diseases. Most cooperatives OBJ
tain the services of veterinarian
for this work, which requires not
only a knowledge of the symp-
toms of diseases but recognition
of the necessity for cleanliness,
tanitation and the proper disinfec-
ton of utensils before and after
use. ..-. -.....g.s.. .s...-. ...s
Anyone desiring further infor-
nation on the subject, call on the
County Extension Agents Office.

sor's Dues" said Miss Garvin en-
phatically. "Most service clubs
enjoy doing more for the group
they are sponsoring, if they just
knew what the girls and guardian
want and need" She pointed out
that in larger communities just
one local service club will do as
much as build and furnish a camp
for girls, using this as a project
over period of years. Many
sponsors send girls in unfortunate
circumstances to camp in the sum,
mer, and see that she is provided
with materials for her Camp Fire
work during the year: MOST
sponsoring bodies added MISS
Garvin" want to furnish the guard
ian of their group with the neceS-
sary books and working materials
for the projects of the group,
knwing that the guardian gives a
great deal of time and effort to-
ward her work and should not

Miss Nora Garvin, national field
worker for the Camp Fire Girls
organization was here from New
Cork to confer with leaders of
Camp Fire Girls and Blue Birds
in Kennewick. The meeting was
held at the home of Mrs. Law
renee Scott Wednesday afternoon,
Sept. II.
Miss Garvin covered skillfully
all phases of the organization, and
answered many questions asked
her by the guardians. One of the
main points brought up was the
sponsorship of groups. Let yollr

With a great deal of praise for
the well-formed organization here
in Kennewick, Miss Garvin COM
mented that with so many strong

the Camp Fire groups in town the
Guardians Association should
have no trouble realizing their
goal for 1947, which is to build a
meeting place for Camp Fire girls
and Blue Birds.

FARM LABOR NEWS

Grape picking is still the main
activity in the Kennewick area,
although many farmers have fin
ished picking. The labor situation
continues to improve as more
farmers finish. However, the
Church Grape Juice Co. informs
us that they still need pickers.
Tents, cots, and bedding are avail

were filled with blush snow; it
took keen eye to detect the dan

of it obviously the day before,

wonderful skill and speed. Once

on talking softly, her eyes still
shining. Il used to make good

Still he did not move. He laid
a heavy hand on the edge of the
table and stared before him with
unseeing eyes. This woman a
murderess? He scemed-it had
to be-beyond belief.
She returned to the stove, busy
with food for Duval. Il must
have something hot for him." she
said pleasantly. He's faithful
man and he's long out there with
the dogs. I'm glad there's such a
good shelter for them; it's grow
ing horribly cold tonight"
O'Hara said nothing. The snow
gloom outside deepened. Laure
took the lamp from a shelf and
lit it, bringing it to the table. 1t
lifted her face out Of the gather
ing shadows of the room and
showed it clearly as she looked
across at her guest. You haven't

in blank surprise. And then,
flushing, Is it then SO bad.

He did not lift his eyes. Me
chemically he picked up a fork
and tried to render justice to the
food on his plate, but he could
not. He dropped the fork, rose
with a poignant gesture and turn
ed away. Il can't eat your food!"
he cried with sudden passion.
I'm not such Judas!'

He was silent. In the little
room there was no sound but the
SOFT rustic of her garments and
the crackle of the fire, the merry
crackle of the fire! Through the
window behind her he saw Duval
feeding the dogs. They were
alone. She spread the table while
he watched her deft hands and
her white wrists.

1t was morning when they
started back over the trail, the
woman on the sled, the halfbreed
beside his dogs. Behind them
stalked the tall figure of O'Hara
The dazzling whiteness of the
ice fields caught them. It played
on the buckles of the sled traces,
darkened the wild face of Duval,
and lit up the profile of the Wom-
an. They were scarcely a rifle
shot from the little cabin when
she turned now and looked at it
as if in last farewell. O'Hara
caught the look, saw the mystery
Of those haunting eyes. the ten

ID at his sides.
Suddenly he remembered the
letter in the inspectors desk. The
full story was there, all the clues
checked up, and at the end his
own words, ''If l fail to bring in
the prisoner in six days send
someone else to do it,"
He had not trusted himself. Yet
he was doing it. She was guilty,
and he was taking her back. He
had put the case out of his hands,
had given it over to the chief. No

would keep his word. But why
had she saved him? Why? The
question possessed h i'm, ran
through his veins like fire, but
he set himself against it, he fought
it-as a man must fight an I'M

He set his teeth and muShed

they had travelled miles. 1t would

rations, as the dogs already were
showing hunger, they baked at
little or nothing, snapped at each
