Land Boom About at Peak
The boom in farm land values
in Washington and the nation has
about reached its peak and little
or no further price increase can
be expected, Washington State
college economist said today.
Roy Beck, extension economist,
predicted today that farm land
vslues are about as high as they
will go during this inflationary
~eriod if the cycle runs true to
form. sly
: If past relationships continue,
Beck Sid, land values will about
hold their own or possibly rise
slightly in 1949, followed by a
rrice decline. After World War
I, he explained, farm incomes
lit a peak in 1919 with the peak
in land values coming a year
later. . @.-.
It appears now, he added, that
1948 will be the peak year in
farm incomes this time as present
point to somewhat
lower farm prices in 1949 and for
several years to come.
Increase in land values has been
lowing down for the past year
in both Washington and the nation
as a whole, Beck said. In Wash
ington land values increased only
one percent in 1913 as compared
to an average increase of Is per-
cent from 1912 to 1947.
For the nation as whole, farm
land values increased eight per-
cent in 1913 as compared with
the l942-1947 average increase
annual increase of IL percent. Also
fewer farms are changing hands
now than was the case year ago
nd in recent years. .-j

Thompson RerOrts on
Supply of Fertilizer

Although supplies of fertilizer
generally are more abundant than
a year ago, the supply of nitrogen
is not as good as was anticipated
earlier, according to A. j. Thomp-
son, chairman of the Benton
county agricultural conservation
committee. An earlier estimate in
dictated 10 percent more nitrogen
for the 194c-1949 fiscal year than
for the previous year. Difficult
ties in production and operation
have reduced this estimate to d
z percent increase.
Phosphate supplies are expected
to reach 100000 tons compared
with 100000; potash 100000
tons compared with $4,000 tons;
and nitrogen, 955,000 compared
with 100000 tons-a S percent
increase for phosphate, 10 per-
cent for potash and z percent for
nitrogen. These increse are not

to get their orders in early.

Farmers In the :. Kennewick-
Pasco area missed a bet this week
when they did not attend the
program of the Union Pacific car
held in Kennewick on January
IL Only a very few farmers and
some F. F.. A. boys from Pasco
attended the car, which is equip
red with sound and movie pro-
jectors and had IL films on
topics which are especially i'm
portant to that area.
One of these was the latest
film available on irrigation, en-
titled Thirsty Acres" In the
Is minutes that it ran, it showed
the process of bringing water
from SHOWS in the mountains
to the farm fields. The film
also diaeramed how water moves
in the soil. 1t showed the results
obtained when too much water
was applied or when too little
wster was applied. ~a... ~Es
Another interesting film was
called "On the Other Side of the
Fence" This is a film put out
bv the University of Missouri
showing what happens to COM
munities where farmers fail to
manage their land properly; fail
to apply the proper fertilizers
and are careless in the han iling
of their crops. DR.. Albrecht is
the author of the film and has
done more than Is years of re-
search on minor elements in the
soil. The picture shows in one
rlace where he had two punches
Of carrots, two heads of lettuce and
two loaves of bread. AS near as
could be told from looking at
these, they had equal food value,
when actually one in each case
was good food and one was
a filler. The reason for
this is that one was grown on
land which was deficient in min
erals and the other was grown
on land which was well taken
care of and fertilized.
Other pictures which were
shown were on the topics of the
use Of 2, 4-d for weed control

percent above the l935-1939 aver
age, he said. He pointed out that
Oregon shows the same increase
over 1920 as Washington, or 25
Percent, but that Idaho values are
about the same as in 1920. In
the past year, California and Flor
ida both register decline in farm
land values, California a FLYER
percent slide, and Florida, 6 per-
cent.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1939-1949, 1949-01-20

Beck stressed the fact that land
values generally follow farm in
comes but usually move slowly
in both rises and falls.
AS for the current all-time peak
in farm land values, Beck pointed
out that farm real estate in WASH
ington and the nation has surpas-
eed the boom of 1920. Land values
in Washington are 25 percen.

Hawaiian Court Rules
Tomorrow on Validity
OF 5tevedorine Law
BY the Asseeioisd Press

HONOLULU, Aug. 81 The
Federal district court announced
today that it would give its deci-
sion Monday on a union applica-
ton to restrain enforcement OF
the territorial stevedoring law.
The territory has gone into the
stevedoring business by special
act in an effort to reopen Ha-
waits ports, tied up for 119 days
by a strike of 1000 members Of
the CIO International Longshore-
mems and Warehousemen's Union.
District Judges j. Frank Nc
Laughlin and Delbert E. Metzger
held final hearings today on the
unions challenge to the laws
constitutionality.
Harry Bridges, ILWU president,
attended. At a press conference
afterward. he declared. Employ
ers won't give anything until it's
proved that this law won't break
the strike and the union. They
still have high hopes"
Doubts Offer by Firms.
Bridges, who flew to Honolulu
late yesterday. said the union
probably would make one last,
desperate effort to get some place
on negotiations while I'm here"
He reiterated that he did not
think employers would offer any
thing.
The stevedores struck for a 32-
cent increase in their $1.40 hourly
wage but last week indicated that
they would settle for 26 cents or
less. Employers once offered and
withdrew IA cents, but have made
no recent offer.
Il can see this strike going on
until legality of the dock law is
determined by the courts" said
Bridges.
If the law is found inopera-
tive, that would force employers
to settle the strike in a hurry; but
if the decision here is against us,
it might take up to so days to get
the question before the circuit
court in San Francisco"
Deal Reported in Progress.
Bridges said that despite move
ment of some Hawaiian cargoes to
the East Coast. the strike re-
manned 80 per cent effective as
long IS Matson Line ships were
tied up. Matson is normally the
major Hawaiian carrier.
An ILWU spokesman charged
that a deal was in progress to get
Matson ships to sail from the East
Coast in an attempt to get around
the strike.
The spokesman asserted that
the deal was being arranged
through Harry Lundeberg, head
Of the AFL Sailors Union of the
Pacific.
Gn San Francisco. Lunde-
berg denied vigorously he was
lining up crews to man Matson
ships)
The spokesman said Matson
was calling for a crew in Balti-
more Monday to sail the Matson's
Hawaiian Educator with a cargo
for Hawaii.
If the independent Marine
Firemen and the CIO Marine
Cooks and Stewards refuse to sail
the Educator, the spokesman al
legged, the AFL Seafarers Inter-
national Union on the East Coast
would supply the men.
