By FRANK WEBSTER

Benton County Extension Agent
1 have been asked during the
past week number of questions
about the future of agriculture.
What will be the trends. for
the coming year or so?
1t seems ONE that there is a
lesson in history that most peo-
Courier-herald. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1949-1950, 1949-11-26

food supplies were ample to meet
the needs of the people, the price
of land started down-not as fast
as it went up-yet in 10-year
period the price had receded to
the point where prices were about
equal to the 1914-17 period.
The period since World War II
has every indication of following
the same pattern. We are in the
down swing now according to a
number of economists.
SOME REMEMBER
Those of us who can remember
the period after World War will
also remember that as land
prices dropped, SO did the prices
of agricultural products.
Thus the farm income situa.
ton as it appears at the present
time is gross farm income is run
ming about 1920 lower than last
year; and farmers realized net
income in 1949 will be down
around 1870. Both gross and net
income are expected to decline
further in 195O-perhaps by per
centages not greatly different
from those indicated for this
year. Such a decline would
bring net farm income about q
third below its 1947 high.
Farmers who plan to add to
their irrigation supply next Spring
by taking water from a stream
or well may need to apply for a
water right this season.
A water right is required by
the state hydraulics code if the
user plans to remove more than
5000 gallons per day. Because
it takes nearly six months from
the time of making application
for a water right until the water
right can be cleared, this is the
time to act for next seasons
needs.
He said the withdrawal of
ground water for domestic pur-
poses, including the irrigation
of a garden not more than one
half acre in area, is exempt, un-
less the amount used is over
5000 gallons a day.
Application forms can be OBJ
tanned upon request from the
state supervisor of hydraulics,
Transportation Building, Olym-
pia, or at the county extension
office. Different forms are used
for ground water and surface
water SO the proposed source
should be specified.
An application for q permit
generally refers to one specific
point of diversion or withdrawal.
II the farmer plans to divert wa.
ter from more than one point
along stream or to pump water
from more than one well, separ.
ate applications must be filed
for each point of diversion or wa.
ter withdrawal. An exception
may be granted where one port
able pump is used at different
locations on the applicants pro.
perty. ..s.@.
The agent added that if the
irrigation plan involves build
ing a dam across a stream and
the capacity of the reservoir is
more than 10 acre feet, two ap-
plications will be needed: one
for, a permit to build the dam
and the other to use the water.
In case dam is planned, he
said, it is advisable to hire a
capable engineer to design the
storage reservoir.

New England bulletin., 1949-05-28
By J. Edward Burke

Bulletin Waterbury Correspondent
 WATERBURY-Tuppy Wright, one of Waterbury's real old-timers has the following comments to make on Fred Minnis, ballplayer of Old Waterbury, who died the other day at his home in Hopkins Street.
 "There was no race question in Waterbury in the days of Fred Minnis when he was a promising young ballplayer with the Acme ball team of the West End.
 Years back the Minnis family was one of the few Negro families of the old town. They first lived around Canal St., later on Livery and then on Gilbert St. in the West End. Livery Street was a little muddy roadway that had it's begin ming off the junction of Meadow and Cedar, opposite the old New England Railroad Station, running ieasterly to Hall St., which led into Grand St. You may ask again where was Cedar St. and what be- came of Hall St. Well, the truth lis. that the railroad changes, with the building of the present station, and the construction of Library Park swallowed up all of the streets mentioned, along with the 30 or 40 buildings involved. The Minnis family moved before the changes were suggested. k Fred Minnis, a short young fel- low, thin and wiry, chummed with all of his schoolmates, and natural ly got to playing ball. He ran like deer and hit like our own Roger Connor, of Giant fame, locally at least. Roger was Fred's idol.
 Formed Acme Team | Tn the West End were lot or good promising boys, who were wonderful bal1players. They formed a team, and called them selves the Acmes. The name held for years. Then they went to a so- cial club, with headquarters on East Main St. They gave various anna teur plays and Fred Minnis, now and then, played a little part. If he wasn't on the stage he was at the ticket office. He was accepted and greeted by all of the people.
 The Acmes played much ball here during the 90's. Fred Minnis was a fielder, and clever base run ner. They cleaned up all of the teams locally, except the Brass
New England bulletin., 1949-05-28
FRED MIlNNIS, VETERAN HITTER, WAS COLORFUL

City's combine, and also defeated clubs in some of the nearby towns. The Acmes were one of the most prominent amateur teams around Waterbury. Fred was one of the last around. Only the other day, Rev. William J. Fox, New Canaan, talked about Fred, while here at- tending services of a relative. Fred Minnis was one of the great among the ballplayers of years ago." said Father Fox.
 "He came from the West End. Tn fact all of us lived down that way. He and his people were ac- cepted and received by the people of the West End, and liked by everyone all over town"
 But Fred Minnis was born ahead of his time. Jackie Robinson has, of course, made wonderful strides; Fred Minnis might have accom- plished just as much, if the way had been open for him, as it has been for Robinson. Who knows? In the years before he was taken i'll, Fred Minnis worked for the old Waterbury Grocery Co.,, as a salesman, and was also employed once by the R. N. Blakeslee Go. MT. Blakeslee classed him as one of the finest and most trustworthy of his many employees.
 Remember Cad, Fred's brother, the railroad brakeman, on the old New England? Cad frequently jumped fast moving train at the Bank St. railroad crossing for the thrill it gave the gang of open mouthed boys looking on. To them, Cad was the most daring of all railroad men. His foot never slipped in the many trying and venturesome train acts of his ca reer. To hundreds of kids, he was the great railroad hero of his day. He died some years back. Fred, we guess was the last of the brothers and sisters"
 And so, are the reflections of an old-timer who recalls for us more items on Fred Minnis.
