To Increase Production.

The Government has announced a
war agricultural program. calling for
the production of more than one billion
bushels of wheat i'm 1918, also a crop
of rye of S3.00O.00o bushels next year.
All of the northwestern states are
asked to increase their acreage for
next year. Washington is asked TO
Increase its acreage Is per cent a-
State Commissioner of Agriculture,
L. F. Benson, is working on plan for
locating available agricultural land in
the state, not now under cultivation,
with view to bringing the same un-
der cultivation in 1918. He wants
help. He can find the land; he can
tell them what crops to raise on IT,;
he can get the loans necessary, but
his trouble is to find the men. Under
the present large economic return
from agriculture and the patriotic
service which food production renders,
it ought not be hard to find the men.
The plan has not yet been worked out
in full; the details will be announced
later. 4#

Fewer Fires in Grain Belts

Up to this time there have been
fewer grain fires than in many years
past. Captain Groce of the State In.
surance Department has the follow
ing to say of the results of the work
being done eby the various county
Councils of Defense, both in Walla
Walla and in other sections of the
Inland Empire: Il cannot speak too
highly of the work. 1t shows what
can be done by cooperation"
Twelve fires have been put out il,
the Dayton district this summer by
the home defense fire-fighting organ
ization, reported Mr.. Groce, and but
nine acres of grain have cen destroy.
ed by fire. In one case the Dayton
fire-fighters went clear to Starbuck to
aid. In another case Waitsburg fight
ers went to Prescott, and in a third
case Walla Walla men went to the
state line. AS a result of this work
there has been practically no fire
destruction to date.

Farmer. uroed to Raise shee,


Farmers who desire to help both
their country and themselves are in.
vited to give attention, once again, to
the humble but succulent as well as
woody sheep.
More sheep are needed in the coun.
try, and needed badly. They are need.
ed for food, and particularly, for wool.
The quantity of wool required by the
country annually is coo, 100000 pounds;
the quantity in sight for the next year
is 230,000,000 pounds. The Australian
wool market is virtually closed tc
America for the war, as England takes
practically the total product. In the
West the homesteaders are putting the
sheep men out of business. The sheep
range has been cut down 60,000,000
acres in the past few years.
With the great demand for wool to
make clothing for the army as well
as for those who stay at home, the
situation is critical. Hence the effort
to revive the sheep industry.

Beware of Dynamite

The State Council of Defense o,
Oregon offers the following pertinent
advice:
Recently several cases of dynamite
disappeared from contracting com.
pany's warehouse in Oregon. Both
federal and state officials ordered a
search, which lasted many days, and
up to the present time the dynamite
is still missing.
A few cases Of dynamite in hands
of wrong people In these periloua
times could do untold damage.
It is deemed advisable that all con.
tractors, construction companies, and
any one else using powder or dyna.
mite shall have depot for same un-
der day and night guard.
A sufficient quantity for the Gays
use can be easily taken to location
of work under way, but under no cir.
cumstances should the depot be left
without a trustworthy guard in full
charge.

Gasoline Conservation

After careful investigation Of the
present gasoline situation, Mr.. Van H.
Manning, Director of the Bureau of
Mines, of the Department of the In
terror, has issued the following state
ment:
One-half of the gasoline used in the
United States Zone billion two hun
dred and fifty million gallons) is used
in pleasure riding.
1t is estimated that the United
States army will need three hundred
and fifty million gallons for aero
planes, trucks, automobile tractors
and other machines. There is no way
of obtaining this in this country ex
cept by saving from the existing sup
ply, and this economy may be effected
by voluntary cutting down of pleasure
riding (for instance, the man who
takes his family out on Sunday for a
fifty mile ride can cut this in half.
1t has been estimated that by eco
nomical use enough gasoline can be
saved to supply not only the United
States, but also it's Allies for war pur
poses.
The following suggestions should be
observed by automobile owners:
1. Do not allow your gasoline en-
CINE to run idle.
2. Use kerosene, not gasoline, foi
cleaning purposes in the garage.
8. See to it that the carburetor does
not leak. Form the habit of shutting
off the gasoline at the tank.
4. By judicious regulation Of the
mixture of gasoline and air in the mo-
tor, both greater power and economy
of fuel may be obtained.
Automobile owners need not lay up
cars, but should use them either foI
trade or pleasure purposes thought
fully and judiciously. If this advice is
followed there will be no undue search
ty, for the United States possesses an
abundant supply. for ordinary pur
poses.

pushing the enemy back.
1t is certain death or worse (the
worse" being mayhem by the loss of
eyes, legs or arms-to be made help
less cripples for life) to face the
Kaiser's guns, has been the claim OF
those who are faint-hearted in the
cause of America. OF course 1t was
known such tales were exaggerated,
but complete refutation has come from
Roger Babson, of Wellesley college,
one of the. most eminent statisticfans
of the country. These are his conclu
sions, made from careful study OF
the mortality figures of the French
army for the full three years of the
war: ns
Fourteen men of every fifteen have
been safe so far.
Under present conditions, where
man power is being conserved, no
more than one in thirty is killed.
Only one man in 500 loses a limb
q chance no greater than in hazardous
conditions at home.
"Most of the wounds sustained in
the trenches are clean cut and of such
q nature that few weeks in the hos.
pital makes the subject as fit as ever"
DR.. Babson says. "Only 100000
French soldiers have been discharged
on account of wounds during the three
years of war.
Fighting in the trenches, most of
the wounds are in the top of the head,
simply scalp wounds. Practically
speaking, a wound is either fatal or
slight, with but few in between these
two extremes"
