Richland Farmer Finds Raising Apples
Profitable Vénture in Long-Run Period
In our visits to agricultural plants,
more commonly described as lanms,
we called this week on one special
ized to the extent that it might bet
ter be described as a horticultural
venture. Consulting our Webster
dictionary, we find the word “horti
culture" comes from the Latin
‘fihorti" meaning “orchard” or “gar
den,” and . “culture.” meaning to‘
cultivate} Thus the word becomes
a perfect self-contained description‘
of the farm of John Erickson, locat-1
ed just a few miles north of Rich
iand in the thhland Irrigation Dis-l
trict.
In fact, the first glance of the
farm from the driveway is a beauti—
ful example of careful cultivation of
trees, shrubs, flowers and a neatly
trimmed lawn. And with character
istic r'nodesty, Mr. Erickson denies
the right to any credit for its ap
pearance, insisting that it should go
to Mrs. Erickson. Well deserved
credit, for the same neatness, order-;
liness and appearance of good man-j
agement continues right into the-1
house. A much lived-in house, which,l
like the yard and the surrounding
farm, undoubtedly offered a pleas-‘
an-t nad wholesome atmosphere in
which the Ericksons have raised to
maturity their two children, Helen
and Carl. Carl is still close enough
to continue to enjoy it, being em
ployed by the Farm Security Ad
minstraton, but Helen now resdes in
Seattle, where she is in the drama
library of the University of Wash
ington.

been grbwi'ng the right crop at the
right time, as his trees were young
and vigorous and producing some
excellent crops during the big years
of 1920-1921 and the good years that
followed. Some of his earlier oper

during these good years he decided‘
to go on a strictly cash basis, and‘

60 disabled are helped
More than $13,000 was spent in
Benton county during the month of

Mr. Hays told of the dour wel

and through his office: old age as-‘

sion; aid to dependent children,
formerly the mother's pension; and
aid to the blind. 'llhese four depart
ments work. with state money

I -In the old age aSlstance depart
‘ment the payments averaged $32.39
iper person permonth. This is just
about the state average, Mr. Hays
explained. He said there were 440
people receiving this payment each
month in Benton county. The pay
ments range from $lO to the full :40.
dependent upon the outside re
sources the dependent has. The ob
jective is to see that each person
over the age 01’ 65 has an income}
of at least S4O per month. ‘
There are 61 totally disabled work
ers receiving assistance and about
100 children to whom payments are
being allotted. Payments for de
pendent children amount to over
SI2OO per month, making the aver
age payment about sl2 each.
Mr. Hays says the county employs
a special worker for juvenile welfare
work, although the county has an
unusually low quota of delinquent
children—much below the national
average. he said, and below the
state’s average.
Mr. Hays' explanation cleared up
many points concerning the county
welfare work which the members of
the Kiwanis club were hazy about.‘
