Spud Growers to Study Federal Marketing Plan An educational meeting to dis cuss the potato situation prior to a state hearing on the proposed fed eral marketing agreement for late potatoes has been called by County Agent Skuse for Friday. June 10 at the Senior High School Auditorium in Kennewick at 7:30 pm. The state hearing will be held in Ellensburg, June 20. Farmers and others interested will be asked to submit evidence to repreSentatives oitheAAAtobeusedbythemin proposing the agreement. Following the hearing a referen dum will be held in which growers will vote whether or not they favor the marketing agreement. The agreement would include all late producing states. Agreements have already been voted for early and medium early regions. The proposed agreement would provide a flexible marketing plan under which the degree of action canbeadiustedtothesizeoi’the potato surplus in any year. Cull potatoes would be kept from ship ment in interstate commerce in periods of moderate surplus. In years of greater surplus, the ship ments or other low grade and small size potatoes could be restricted. Ex emptions would be provided for an individual producer it shipping re strictions otherwise would prevent him from disposing of as large a proportion of his supplies as the av erase. disposed of by other produc ers. No restriction would be plaud on shipment of No. 1 de potatoes.

It now is definitely known that“ California will over lap Bings from the State of Washington badly. It was expect; ed that the California crop would be well out of the way, but back ward weather has held back their crop so that only last week they reached their shipping peak. Comparing shipping dates with last year, California is from a week to ten days late and Yakima Val ley is about ten days early. First cars in 1937 from the Yakima Val ley moved on June 23rd when three cars were forwarded by freight and one by express. Up to the present writing there has been no damage to cherries from wind, hail or rain. There is a much heavier crop set than usual and with young trees coming into bearing thestate should top all previous years in shipments. Dealers who are close to the pro duction end of the cherry business estimate that the Yakima Valley can ship this year, weather and market conditions permitting no less than 750 cars. This is about half of the estimated tonnage from the Northwestern states of Washing ton, Oregon, Idaho and Utah. The one other disturbing fly in the ointment that would have a bearing on price and total ship ments are depleted buying power in‘ Eastern consuming centers. The increase of five percent in express and freight rates also will have some bearing on returns to growers. As we go to press, with a splendid crop in sight, the price outlook is none too bright because of the over- 1 lap of California and such a heavyi crop in the offing. It is expected. however. that smaller markets can and will buy carlots of Yakima cher ries with expected lower prices than some of our previous peak years. It is reported that the Yakima Fruit Growers Assn. will be getting their first car of Kennewick Bings out on Friday, June 10. The Pas co Growers, Inc. will start about the same time. Tartarians are coming in freely, but are not meeting with too ready a sale as they are in di rect competition with California Bings. ANOTHER FIRE A fire early this morning destroy ed the boiler house at the plant of the Twin City Live Stock 8; Poultry Co. below the N. P. bridge near the eastern city limits. The fire depart ment kept the blaze under control, preventing its spread to the other buildings nearby. Extent of the damage has not yet been deter mined.
