Duty Calls Us To Vote On This

Registered voters of Kennewick will 20 to the polls
the issuance of million dollars worth of general revenue
and obligation bonds for those purchases and improve
ment of the two systems. /.
How many will go will remain unanswered until votes
favor of the purchases and improvement of the systems
worried much more the question of the number
who will vote than over how they will vote They believe
that the people of Kennewick favor purchases but it
takes turnout of 1900 voters in Kennewck under
law to make the election legal and nobody knows whether
that number will vote: The water program may fail
zens to do their civic duty.
If the election carries the city will issue $85OOOO in
received from the sale of the residents
of the to be served That will include the Ken
limits both the light amy
system and the Kennewick Irrigation District system will
be purchased if the election carries.
Then $150,000 in general obligation bonds will be
issued and these will be- paid off by real estate tax
against the property in the city There will be in
crease in taxes in the city but the city officials the bond
companies and all concerned promise that Kennewick and
vicinity will get good pure water in adequate supply
. plans carried out
The city promises that the water will be clear and
with the requirements of the state board of health The
promise made that the supply will be sufficient pro-
o an sd the % rs as
shut off at the time fire starts the storage will provide
provide for use n0"'S
Most residents know that this cannot be approached
the being planned to provide
ample supply for population increase of 5000 without
additions and be expanded to supply population of
$4,000 without abandoning any of the construction
planned.
Water to be raised if the election carries
and city officials have said that it is probable that they
will be lowered.
In brief Kennewick according to the best represen
tations is to have more and better water all the way
around If this Improvement plan is authorized by the
voters. -l
The city officials have not carried campaign in
behalf of the proposals but they have urged that people
register and that those registered turn out and vote on
Monday, August 49, In this the Courier Reporter joins
We believe that if good majority of the voters take
part in the election the right decision will be made.
In view Of the Importance Of the question to be voted
o It is improper suggest that person who
reads this editorial speak to his neghbors to make GER
tain that ley go to the polls.
If the election does not carry either by reason of
sentimen against failure of the people to go to the
POLLS the water situation will probably remain 1t is
for some years. City officials state that they have no
other plans in mind to take the place OF these the cleo
ton fails That the question down pretty much
to this: you want to do something about the water sit
uation for the water bonds you don't vote against

to do that much

News Notes From
Co, Agents Office
Winter Wheat

The time for planting winter
wheat will soon be here. The best
seeding date is around September
is. Wheat seeded before this time
is more likely to show up with root
rot. Seed should be treated for
the control of sinking smut be-
fore planting. Good seed of recon-
mended varieties should be used.
In other words, know what YOU
sow. If you plant registered or
approved seed, you know you are
getting seed that is pure, free from
noxious weeds, and high in germ
ination.
Recommended varieties of winter
wheat are Wasatch, Newturk, Kar-
mont, and Yago. Wasatch is recon-
mended for areas in which dwarf
smut is prevalent.
Grass Seeding
On dry land areas, fall is pro-
badly the best time for seeding
grasses. The seed has a chance to
terminate and start growth before
winter and has a head start on
spring seedlings. If the spring hap
pens to be dry, the fall seeding viii
very likely establish itself, whereas
the spring seeding may have only
enough moisture to start growth
and will die of drouth before it is
able to become established.
Grass can be broadcast without
any soil preparation whatever. It
can be broadcast on the snow and
Will start growth early in the
spring. In general, the better the
seed bed, the better will be the
stand of grass. Better grass stands
are obtained from well worked seed
beds that are good and firm. It is
not always practical to prepare a
good seed bed, however and then
other methods of seeding must be
used. Good results can be had in
seeding perennials grass in cheat
grass and weed fields by using a /
deep furrow drill This drill cuts
4 turrow slice through the sod and
throws it aside exposing a narrow
trench of mineral soil on which !
The grass seed is dropped. This
system insures the seed of coming
with the soil, helps elm |
nate competition from other plants
and furnishes a place to catch and |
store surplus moisture.
The Tobacco Valley Soil Conser-
Iatlon District has a deep furrow
irlu which is rented out to far
ners.
Varieties of grass that do well on
Try land are crested wheat, smooth
prone, and slender wheat grass.
