RICH FISHING GROUNDS
NEAR HONDURAS

One of the richest fishing grounds
in the world is found in the reef wa
ter along the north and northeast
coast of Honduras. This region be.
gins about 100 miles east of Ceiba and
extends some distance south of Cape
Gracias Adios. This is more or less
shallow water, forming one great
coral reef with a number of small
keys extending up above the surface
Of the water. 1t is an ideal fish and
turtle ground.
1t Is believed that if canning fac
tory were established somewhere &C
cessible to this region this great fish
supply could be utilized. 1t is claimed
that native labor can be obtained at a
reasonable price-from 25 to 80 soles
per month with board Ga sole is worth
so cents, United States gold. These
natives of the north coast and bay is
lands are good laborers as well as ex'
cellent fishermen. The best harbor
convenient to the fishing grounds is
on the bay island of Bonacca, some
hundred miles to the northeast OF
Ceiba. 1t is we'll protected and with
a sufficient depth of water for large
vessels.

CARROTS AS A SUBSTI.
4 TUTE FOR EGGS

Anything that can be used as a sub
stitute in these days of high prices
and give good results at the same
time is welcome addition In helping
to keep down the high cost of living
Roiled carrots according to the Pop
ular Science Monthly, when properly
treated form an excellent substitute,
for eggs in buildings. The carrots are
boiled until they are tender and near
]" ready to fall apart; then carefully
drained and mashed and pressed
through coarse cloth or strainer
This pulp is then introduced among
the other ingredients of the pudding
and the eggs omitted. Puddings made
in this manner are equally as light
and as palatable as where eggs arc
used The carrots also impart rich
yellow color to the pudding, go th2t
no one can tell whether eggs were
used or not.

Rome, June 19.-The American
farmer ought to be given credit at a
bank without being compelled to
mortgage his farm, declares David
Lubin. delegate from the United
States to the international Institute
of Agriculture here.
! Mr.. Lubin believes that, despite the
Federal Land Banks, the American
farmer still suffers a great disadvan-
I tage in obtaining cash to carry on
his business. To remedy this he has
formulated simplified system OF
farm banking and suggested it to Will
liam G. McAdoo, the Secretary Of the
Treasury and to the American Food
Controller, Herbert Hoover.
"The farmer at present does bust,
ness under the stupid and costly pol.
icy of the merchant of forty years
ago" said Mr.. Lubin to The Asso.
ciated Press. HE supplies his needs
on long time credit in place of hav.
ing recourse to the chief banks OF
the country for cash wherewith to
place himself on a cash basis. The
farmer is under the thumb of the
money lenders and of the store-keep-
ers who sell to him on credit basis. y
"Why can't he have bank account
that is credit on open account, like
any other business man? He's got
land the best security in the world y
''The Federal Land Bank has made
it possible for him to put up his farm
and get money on longtime mort
gage loans. These loans are made
however for enlarging the farm or
making improvements or for paying
off old debts But only limited
number of farmers will mortgage un.
less they have to. The census for 1910
shows that of 3,94S,722 farms we
have 1876 per cent mortgaged. What
these farmers need, together with the
other 664 per cent. is credit at a
bank instead of the costly, vicious
credit at the town store'
"The farmer can be put in a posi-
ton to pay cash for what he buys
by having the twelve Federal Land
Banks increase their functions so
that, instead of merely granting mort
gage money at a reasonable interest.
they may also issue a certificate that
the farmer is entitled to credit with.

posted in commercial bank in any

per annum and against this account
he could draw by check. with the
right of closing his account at any
time by paying up. when his certif-
cate would be returned to him.
What should be done is to reduce
the banking business down to the
farmer. Let's put him in the favored.

because of its peculiar distribution
and habitat that the United States is
finding it difficult task to get enough
of it. 1t had but low esteem as a
commercial wood In the pre-war
days, most of it getting into the waste
piles of saw mill yards, though lit
tie of the best and thickest, specially
prepared, went into the sounding
boards of pianos Queerly enough,
Germany was always a big buyer of
that portion of the product
Now thai the world needs spruce, a
lot Of Americans will have to buy Lib
erty bonds and keep on doing in
definitely just because the Sitka
spruce has retiring disposition and
is finicky about the places where it
grows, 1t grows only when sur
rounded by trees Of a different spe-
cies, which habit the lumberman is
describing when he says that from )
to 40 per cent of given timber stand
is the best that spruce shows. It
likes the sea-fog from the Pacific
ocean, and grows to valuable size
only in scattered belts where the fog
comes regularly.
/ Lastly, only about 80 or 40 per cent
Of the wood in the trunk has the
strength, toughness' and resiliancy
that airplane struts and spars re-
quire. 1t takes special machinery
and special handling in hundreds of
mills, small and large, to get out this
IS per cent.
1t isn't practical or possible, the
lumber operators find, to take out the
spruce unless surrounding trees are
also removed. All the logs are i'm
nense in size, and it takes railroads,
motor trucks, or donkey engine ca
bles to move them. Working out the
problem means that to get the Is
100000 feet Of airplane spruce will
require the handling of at least 1OO,-
100000 feet of other timber monthly,
II will involve also problems concern
ing the disposition, present and fu-
ture, of the unused fir and other tim
her that comes out with the spruce
But immense as the task is, there
are signs that it is being done. Mr.
Ryan continues his refusal to talk
about the method. And it only takes
200 board feet of spruce to make one
'airplane.

Spruce For AirpIaneS
Is Great Need

Washington, June 14.-John D.
Ryan, financier and copper magnate
has been saying nothing ever since
he took over direction Of aircraft pro
duction, but considerable evidence has
accumulated that points towards def
mite accomplishment in one direction
that military men say it would be
most dangerous to neglect.
That is the production of airplane
spruce.
War figures are all large too large
for most people to digest, but lumber
men say that Mr. Ryan has demanded
100000 feet a month from the Cas-
cade forests, and little things like the
drafting of 5000 men, the planning
Of logging railroads, and the mobili-
cation of rather large existing in
dustry for war production, indicate
that he intends to get 1t.
The consoling fact is that If Amer
lean factories are late in making
planes, so long as the raw material
flow to France and England is main
tanned, the Allies will have ma
chimes.
Mr.. Ryan's first move was to cali
in Colonel Disque, head Of the spruce
division, from Portland, Ore, and
thereafter something was started.
There had always been less criticism
of the spruce production efforts than
Of anything else that had been done,
largely because the expected con-
sumption of the raw material did not
develop. About 100000 feet of
spruce was the by-product Of normal
fir and other lumber cutting in the
northwest each month The allies
were getting all of that from the OPP
en- markets, and it was simple mat
ter for the American government to
step in and take it all. It was also
comparatively simple to increase the
prices a trifle, and double the normal
production.
But when it comes to running thu
output up to the mark Mr. Ryan Il
credited with setting, task Is pro
jected that is immense when com
pared to even the inflated standards
OF war work. 1t is because of thu
peculiar qualities of Sitka spruce
that it sustains the stresses Of higf
speed airplanes better than any othe
substance the world knows, and 1t II

KEEP
FERRY ON
TODD RUN

Ferry service between the mu-
nicipal dock and the Todd ship
yards will not be discontinued to
allow the ferry to operate to
Vashon island and Gig Harbor
unless the new city council decides
to take this action.
Members of the present council
declared Friday that they had no
intention to act in defiance Of the
u. s. shipping boards request that
the ferry be kept on the shipyard
route.
An appropriation of $1,000 by
the city is necessary before the
ferry landing at Point Defiance
park can be established. There is
considerable doubt whether the
municipal street car. line could
handle all the Todd workers If the
ferry were removed from its pres
ent service, and the present coun-
Gil is unwilling to take any action.
Whether the city will buy 10
street cars offered by a street rail-
way company in Minneapolis, Will
also be decided by the new coun-
ell.
