Vancouver Players
to Leave Here
This Week-End
Play Friday at Pasco
with Spokane; On
Sunday at Tacoma
In spite of the fact that condi
tions here are about as good as
could be asked for, the Vancouver
baseball club is pulling out this
week end, so as to be able to play
an exhibition game at Tacoma Sun
day.
The twenty-five members of the
professional team which came here
last week for spring work out re
port everything here as very satis
factory. The weather has been
fine, the grounds are in excellent
shape and the cooperation on the
part of the school officials and
JOHNNY KERR.
Manager Vancouver Ball Tum
townspeople has been more than
satisfactory, they report.
-The beginning of the week, the
work was mostly. in limbering up
under the direction of Manager
John Kerr, but beginning Wednes
day the boys have been really play
ing baseball, switching the teams
among themselves.
It had been hoped that the com
munity would be given an oppor
tunity to witness a couple or ex
hibition games between the clubs,
the Spokane team being given their
work-out at Pasco and the Tacoma
team at Prosser. ‘
The one exhibition game will be
played tomorrow (Friday) at 1:30
at Pasco with the Spokane Hawks,
the Vancouver team leaving Satur
day in their big bus for the coast.
Final Drive for ,
Memberships in
Golf Course 0n
After a. series of disappointments,
it begins to look as though the grass
golf course for Kennewick would
finally become an accomplished
fact. The final drive for member
ships required to finance the prop-\
osition is being carried on this week‘
and by this time next week it will‘
be definitely knowri whether or notl
this improvement for the district
can be made.
The community is required to fur
nish material costs for the WPA
labor grant. This is to be accom
plished by the sale of memberships,
which up to yesterday, had been
dragging, only about half the re
quired sum having been raised. A
’speciai committee has been at work
yesterday and today and several ad
ditional memberships have been se
cured with a prospect of being able
‘to go over the top at the final
lmoment.
In addition to the improvement
for the community and the provis
ion for a playfield. the construction
of the course will mean the expend
iture of about $40,000 in the com
munity. mostly in the form of labor.
Word was received this week that
about 25 men were available from
the WPA rolls for immediate work
on the course. The work will re
quire about five months, it is esti
mated. and the federal allotment
has already been made. Required‘
now is only the guarantee of the 10-1
cal portion of the constructionl
funds. 1

Quota, Allotment. 1
Difference Is '
Explained I
What is the difference between a
wheat acreage allotment and a
wheat 'marketing quota?_
The answer to this question; which
many farmers have asked in con
nection with the 1938 AAA Farm
Program, is given by Fred Wilson,
chairman of the county agricultural
conservation committee, as follows:
Wheat acreage allotments are
made every year. A wheat acreage
allotment is an allotment made to
afarmertoguidehiminseeding
wheat on his farm. ‘
These allotments do not directly‘
affect the marketing of wheat. Seed-l
ing wheat within the acreage allot-I
ments is entirely Voluntary. How
ever, the acreage allotments are im
portant when wheat loans are of
fered or if marketing quotas go intoi
: effect. Wheat loans are offered;
lonly to cooperators in the program‘
except in years when marketing
quotas go into effect, and then non
cooperators receive loans on part of
their wheat production at lower
rates than those to cooperators. The
wheat acreage allotment for a farm
is used in computing the payment
that a farmer can earn. The pay
ment rate for 1938 is 12 cents a bu.
on the normal yield of the wheat
acreage allotment. 1
Marketing quotas are for use only
in years when surpluses are very
large. A marketing quota is a spec
ified number of bushels of wheat
worked out for a farmer on the,
basis of his acreage allotment, if ;
supplies in any year are unusually‘
large and quotas are in effect. No'
marketing quota can go into effect
unless approved by a two-thirds ma
jority of farmers voting in a refer-i
endum. Under marketing quotas
[each farmer holds a part of his crop
off the market in order to do his
share in improving marketing con
ditions for the part that is market
ed. Marketing quotas apply to all
wheat farmers whose market pro
duction is more than 100 bushels.

’to Try Freezing
Strawberries
Ask Town to Help
in Getting Processing
of Samples Done
In an attempt to secure better
marketing conditions for the crop
for which Kennewick is most wide
ly famous. Guy Story and Burdette.
Highlands farmers. appealed today
to the chamber of commerce for as
sistance in working out their plans.
Famed tar and wide for the earl
iest and best strawberries, Kenne
wick farmers averaged a dollar a
crate less than the state-wide. all
season average. Mr. Story said. as
he presented his proposition to the
club members. These prices in
clude the processed berries from the
coast section. he said. and to pre
vent any future happening oi the
sort. the growers on the project are
attempting to secure a more stable
market.
Strawberries produced in this sec
tion totaled about 40.000 crates last
year. he reported. with prospects
for at least an additional 10.000 in
sight for this season. From the
acreage: planted now. Mr. Story es
timated next year's production at.
05.000 to 75.000 crates.
Due to the rapidly spresding use
of frozen fruits and vegetables. the
