RAISING SORGHUM FOR THE
GRAIN

Because both sorghum and Kaffir
corn are drouth resisting they should
prove valuable crop in the north
west. Heretofore sorghum has been
grown principally for syrup making
and for fodder purposes by the far
mers in the central states. Now, how
ever, they are beginning to grow it
for grain. By selection its grain
yielding qualities have been increased.
Nothing yields as much fodder to the
acre as sorghum. Tho when grown
for fodder it is customary to SOW it
broadcast and tolerably thick, and
then cut it before it is ripe. The fol-
lowing clipping from government
re port indicates its value for grain
producing plant:
Gain sorghum area increased from
S,944,Q00 acres in 1916 to 5,153,oO0 in
1917, or more than 80 per cent, while
the production increased from $685.
GOO to 75,866,000 bushels, or over 40
per cent. This largely increased guam
tity of grain was consumed thru the
ordinary channels without any undue
drop in price. Farmers report excel
lent results from Dwarf milo and
Dawn kafir, the varieties bred and

EFFECT OF DEMOCRATIC TARIFF
ON MINING INDUSTRY

Copper pigs, ingots, etc, imported
into this country in the first nine
months of the current year amounted
to 322,O00,000 pounds, compared with
1853, 100000 pounds for the first nine
months of 1914; lead 156,000,000
pounds compared with 95,O00,000;
nickel 56,O0O,0OO pounds for 1918,
compared with 28,O00,000 pounds for
the 1914 period; plumbago 1880 tons
compared with $4,000 tons, $4,000
tons for the first nine months of 1910
zinc over 100000 pounds for the
1918 period, (12S,O0O,0Q0 pounds for
the 1917 period) compared with TO-
100000 pounds for the 1914 period.
These figures, taken from the official
statistics of the department of COM
merce are indicative of the falsity of
statements being published by free
traders to the effect that imports I'M
der the democratic tariff law show
increases in value but not in volume.
Naturally there has been vast de-
mand for metals of all kinds for war
use, and it may have been found
necessary to call on outside sources of
supply. But the point to remember is
that the countries producing these
metals in competitor with the United
States, have now established more
or less firm foothold in the American
market, which is strengthened by the
democratic tariff law. Mine owners
and mine workmen must expect con-
tinuance of this competition just so
long as the present law remains on the
books, and with the falling off in de-
mamand from Europe for these pro-
ducts of the mines, this competition
will be increasingly felt. The altru-
ism of the administration suggests
that we keep the bars down and let
other metal-producing countries pro-
duce our needs while our miners take
up other employment If mining men
agree with that policy they have but
to vote for its continuance, but even
a job in some government owned in
dustry will not defend them from ul-
innate impoverishment, for govern
ment losses due to administration
can not be made up from the taxation
of people who have no funds.

expenditure of S7,500,0O0, the sum be

EASTERN WASHINGTON NEWS
IRRIGATION AND GOOD ROADS
Spokane Hotels Start Cooperative
Laundry-Where a Woman is Of
fetal Boss of Her Husband

Efforts to secure new legislation for
good roads turnout Washington are
being fostered among community gov
ernments, commercial clubs and other
civic organizations as a result of the
state good roads convention. The pro-
posal to advocate the using of auto
mobile license money as a basis of
state bond issue for paving a system
of state roads was agitated in advance
of the convention and found but little
opposition. County officials generally
have been found enthusiastic over the
proposal. Details will be worked out
by committees who are considering
both what is known as the "Illinois
Plan" and the "Carlyon" idea.
All constructive organizations in the
Inland Empire will be urged to give
moral support to the bog reclamation
project which has been brought to the
fore by Governor Lister and others.
While eastern Washington is primar.
lily most deeply interested in the move
ment, the project is so vast and means
the employment of so many men in
its construction, and the ultimate
placing of 10000 new settlers upon
the property that it is realized to be
of Importance to the whole territory.
Such an influx of settlers, brought
here under advantageous circum-
stances, would give encouragement to
other irrigation and reclamation pro-
jects, and would act as a great ad-
vertisement of Inland Empire re-
sources, according to the men who are
foremost in promoting the project.
1t is proposed to tap the waters of
the Pend Oreille river at Albani Falls,
Idaho, and carry them on to avast
area in Lincoln, Adams, Grant and
Franklin counties and sections of
Douglas, Walla Walla and Whitman
counties. 1t means the reclamation
of approximately 100000 acres at
cost of $250,000,000. The proposal is
to bond the state for the purchase of
the land and interest the federal recla-
nation service in doing the work. BY
this plan the land can be offered to
settlers at very low figures and on
unusually long terms of payment.
The project has received enthusi
astic support on all sides. The big
ness of the work, combined with the
plan of offering the landless man
something that will be worth his
while, has made strong appeal. Com
mittees are being appointed in east
ern Washington towns whose purpose
is to interest legislators from their
communities in working for the pro-
ject.

distributed by the United States de-
partment of agriculture, and the de-
mand for seed increases. In parts OF
Arizona and California Dwarf milo is
grown successfully on irrigated land
after barley is harvested, thus enab
ling the grower to produce two grain
crops on the same land in one year.

Germ. No effort will be made to Sc
cure work outside of the hotels. A

pany, which has already commenced
operations under the name of the
Consolidated Laundry.
