U
manager of the Three Rivers Grow
ers' association, speak on the subject
of asparagus. He was introduced by
County Agent Roger Morse. Mrs.
Lampson accompanied her husband
on his tour also. He spoke at Her
miston on Friday night. He explain
ed why local growers received such
low prices on their shipments of early
potatoes last year. It seems that the
earlier potatoes must compete with
the California market and a little la
ter with the mid-western states, and
with prices of early potatoes drop
ping daily it is a hazardous risk for
this small territory. Mr. Lampson,
who is not only manager of this asso
ciation, is also an asparagus grower,
having about 10 acres of the grass,
so he knows whereof he speaks. He
made a comparison of the returns
from an acre of asparagus and that
of strawberries and stated that the
berries would give a greater gross re
turn but not such large net returns.
He advocated planting Clark seedling
strawberries. As to asparagus, it
takes about four years to get a maxi
mum yield but the asparagus bed con
tinues to yield indefinitely. Put out
nothing but strong plants and pre
ferably year-old plants. It takes
about 5000 plants to the acre planting
th.em 18 inches apart in the row and
ihi feet between rows. Asparagus
takes an abundance of fertilizer.
Some growers have been experiment
ing with commercial fertilizer and it
is known that barnyard manure
proves very satisfactory. Mr. Lamp
son stated that one could scarcely
give asparagus too much water and
hence it is a good crop for the soils
here that are too wet for alfalfa. The
average returns to the Three Rivers
association last year were $1.25 per
crate. He spoke further on the ques
tion of marketing but space does not
permit us to go into that at length.
We have always contended that this
land here should be growing aspara
gus, cucumbers or some similar crop.
Mr. and Mrs. Dave Johns returned
to their home in Wapato Thursday.
They came here to attend the funeral
services of Richard Root. Ruel
Knowlton who came with them will

and family of Hermiston came also

wife returned to their home in Port
land after being here for the week
end. Max DeWeese and famliy cam
from Palouse, Wn., but had car trou
ble and were unable to reach here
until the evening after the services.
Mr. and Mrs. Albert Macomber of
Olex were here.

No other low-priced six
will ever give you this
It is not beyond the)realms of pos
sibility that some day there will be
offered a newly created six, closely
approximating in basic design and
price the Pontiac Six as introduced
a year ago.
But even if that car does make its
appearance, it will lack one power
ful inducement to ownership that is
of paramount importance in con
templating the Pontiac Six:
Its design and construction will
not have been proved by millions
of miles of actual service in the
hands of thousands of owners. And
that is essential, even in a car which
was tested and developed as the Pon
tiacSixuias for over three years prior
to its announcement!
Design and construction so coa
vtncingly demonstrated mea
more than the elimination of fund'
amental weaknesses. It means peace
of mind from one year's end to the
othet and that is what buyers have
a right to get, no matter how much
or how little they pay!
