Mother Nature is wonderful
old girl = but science is certainly
putting it all over her." we remi-
nisced as we stood on the hillside
at the Thatcher Farm in Fred

watched the transformation of the
175-acre 200-year-old farm from
an old type square farming opera
ton to a modern, soil conservation
type. This was all done between
$3.50 "A. M.-when about half ton
of dynamite was exploded in a
demonstration of how to build a
drainage ditch without breaking
your back - and shutdown. And
where were we when the charge
exploded? We have to admit that
the minute the announcer said
Watch out for stones, and be pre-
pared to duck" we looked around
for cover. A fiat truck carrying
half a dozen photographers was
the nearest haven so under the
back of it we went as the dirt flew
high in the air.
Early in the morning a heavy
mist enveloped the hillsides of the
Catoctin Mountain on which the
farm is situated but dear old
Mother Nature cooperated and the
sun came out later in the day.
From platform in the center of
the farm the various operations
could be followed.

Three New Units
Near Completion
On Dayton Street

Three years ago this u n e,
John Einkbeiner, his wife Olive
and two small daughters came
to Kennewick, to found and di-
rect the Good News Agencies, a
private venture in the inter-
UNCONVENTIONAL religious field.
Work was begun Immediately
on the Good News Chapel, in
Fountain Park, West Kennewick,
and completed by August. Con-
struction was then begun on the
orner Of Kennewick avenue and
Dayton street, the first three
units being completed in Noven1-
Der Of the same year. THIS build
ing was one Of the first to mark
the present period of the con-
struction Of commercial buildings
in Kennewiclk, and is at this time
occupied by the Juvenile Shop,
Helen's Style Shop and the Gift
Shop.
The following year the build
ing was expanded to include two
units fronting on Dayton street,
to be occupied by the Good News
Center, which is the Good News
Agencies office and supply house,
and the Merchandise Mart. At
the time Of this writing three
more units are being added to
front on Dayton street, to be oc-
cupied by Ralph's Radio and Hob
by Shop; DR.. Clark Durham's
offices and the Davis Clothiers
+. A. Erikson, general contrac-
tor Of Kennewick, has built all
Of the stores fronting on Dayton
street and expects to have the
final units finished by the first
Of July.
The Good News Building Is
unusual in that 1t houses eight
individual stores under one roof,
On one floor, with corridors link
ing the entire plant. It will have
eight individually owned and
operated establishments.
The exterior Of the building
provides particular interest IN
,sthat SIX different kinds Of brick
Z and tile have been used to create
a decorative, as well as functional
facing for the whole.

Potatoes Given
PREpARED AZ

SASA6 118tGO Oh
The Yakima County Extension
Service In Cooperation with
the y. s. Bureau Of Entomology
and Plant Quarantine and the
State Department Of Agriculture
AT present there is such wide
variation in ages Of potato plant
ings it is impossible to make a
single recommendation to include
al groups, according to John
keene, associate extension agent
in Yakima County.
In early planted fields a fifth
application of five per cent DOT
dust should be applied starting the
week Of July 5th. AS indicated
earlier white rose harvest will
start later than last season. It
looks now as though harvest will
start much later than formerly
anticipated due to slow tuber de-
velopment. Some growers are pre-
dieting harvest will not start un-
til mid-August. Flea beetles will
be constantly moving into potato
fields until harvest so dusts should
be applied about IS days follow
ing the fifth application to insure
protection against flea beetle in
jury.
Mid season to late season gems
which were planted between
April Is and June IS are subject
ed to parts Of both first and Sec
ond brood flea beetles and should
be busted at 1912 day intervals
regardless of the program follow
ed in early planted adjacent fields.
Current season leaf roll is be-
ginning to show up on netted
gems several weeks in advance
OF last season. Regular dust ap-
phcations are very important not
only to control flea beetles but
to control aphids to hold leaf
roll infection to a minimum.
Flea beetles are very abundant
IN some tomato paintings and may
be contributing to the spread Of
curly top, or the western yellow
blight. In some fields blight is
very serious and will materially
reduce production. .
Seventy-five hundreths per cent
retenone dust may be used to
control flea beetles on tomatoes.
1t DOT is used it should be used
lightly as damage may result from
heavy applications.
Onion thrips are causing dam
age in some onion paintings and
should be controlled Ten per cent
DOT dust seems to give the most
effective control on this insect.

war began farm land values have
been going up at the rate OF
about La per month. Land values
as a whole have now reached the
same level as the land boom peak
Of 1920. Two states report drop
in land values. These are Cali
fornia and Florida. However
states where wheat and livestock
are the principle crops continue
increases in land values. It might
be well for those considering the
purchase of a farm to take these
facts into consideration.

safer to follow the instructions

to be used and methods of appli.

ed to early season application
When used to control certain
poultry pests, benzine hexa-
chloride has been known to impart

meat.
Some Of the new materials are
so new that there is still little
information about their toxic ef.
fects. The research people advise
that such chemicals as chordane
