Grown without irrigation on the Williams ranch in Horse Heaven, the display includes lettuce, rhubarb stalks, radishes, onions, gooseberries, and roses. Mrs. Ellen J.

The Williamses cultivate over 500 acres of wheat, which looks excellent this year.

Berry Returns Manifest a Midseason Market Dip in 1906
Seven thousand crates of berries were sold from Kennewick valley patches in spring 1906. The Fruit Growers' Association handled about 4,600 crates, independent shippers over 2,000, with the rest to local buyers. Helena, Montana offered the best market. Growers net about $2.95 per crate after expenses, totaling around $20,000, with individual crates selling $2.60 to $3.40. The crop is judged about half a full yield due to March storms and April frost. Association affairs were well managed and settlements await the directors’ meeting. L. H. Cox is expected to receive the largest payout.
