UNIFORM WAGE SCALE FOR
II HARVEST IN NORTHWEST

ed. The idea has spread among farm
laborers that farmers will accept them
at their own terms but present indi-
cations are that there win be ample
help to take care OF the crops.
The farmers VIII endeavor to agree
upon a scale of wages that will be fair
to labor and satisfactory to both the
lahorer and employer. What this will
be is, of course, impossible to say
but as key for what may be adopt
ed the scale adopted by the Walla
Walla county council has been cited.

One Of the most important matters
for the consideration OF the farmers
of the northwest is to be acted upon
at the meeting TO he held in Pendle-
ton Monday, June 10. 1t is requested
that representatives of all the coun-
ties of eastern oregon and eastern
Washington meet here to determine
the wage scale to be adopted for
many counties will be represented If
not ALI that are known as agriculture
counties.
The adoption of a uniform wage
scale for farm labor during the hay
ing and harvest season is looked on
as a necessity to keep the workers
satisfied. and to prevent too much
shifting OF labor. The scarcity of
farm help has been heralded far and
wide and in many cases over estimat-

warm days. The amount of stores
can also be estimated by lifting the
hive. Without honey and bees STAN
dard hive with combs will weigh from
twenty to twenty-five pounds. An
average colony will need from twenty
five to thirty pounds of honey. So, if
a hive weighs from fifty to seventy
five pounds, the colony probably has
sufficient stores. A more accurate
method of determining the strength
of colony and amount Sof stores is to
open the hive and examine. The
equivalent Of four standard combs
full of honey is enough for an average
colony, though six combs of sealed
honey is better.
Where colouies are short of stores,
feed them sugar syrup consisting of
two parts by weight of good gfanu-
lated sugar and one of boiling water.
Do not scorch the syrup. Pour it int
shallow dish and set this down in
an empty super over the cluster. Drop

syrup to keep the bees from drowning.
Replace and weight the cover with
stone. Construct the hive entrance to
avoid the possibility of robbing. Give
the bees the syrup as fast as they can
store it in the combs.
An order for sugar needed for
feeding bees can be secured from the
Missouri Food Administration, Column
bia, Missouri. While sugar is grant
ed for this purpose, beekeepers are
urged to feed only strong colonies.
Do not use more sugar than is re-
quired; feed again in the spring if
necessary. Beekeepers are also urged
to pack their bees for protection from
cold and rain. This will conserve bee
food as we'll as the colony. The bet
ter bees are packed the less food they
will consume, and they will come out
in better condition in the spring.

STRENGTHEN BEES FOR WINTER
UnfaTOrable Conditions Necessitate
Feeding Colonies Sugar.

This season has been unfavorable
for bees over most of Missouri, and
as a consequence many colonies are
going into the winter weak and with
out sufficient stores. These colonies
are almost certain to be lost if the
winter is severe. Farmers who have
a few colonies of bees, and beekeep-
ers, should take advantage of the first
warm, sunny days to make sure that
their bees are in shape for the winter,
advises Leonard Haseman of the Col
lege of Agriculture
Do not attempt to feed and carry
through the winter small, weak colo

colonies. The strength of the colony
can be determined quite we'll by the
number of bees going and coming on

cups could be heard the praises rising

pep and spirit. Manager Sisson walk

on his face.
There was also celery, which was
quite a treat. But the surprise of all
was still wa ting. After the turkey
and all the other good things that were
served came the dessert.
The dessert consisted of pie a la
mode. The pie was hot mince, with a
good layer of colored brick ice cream
perched on top. The time ordinarily
to eat in was extended few
minutes in order to let every one get
his share.

In these days Of guarantees, wear
ing of masks and military rules for
the S. A T. c., most students feel
that they have very little liberty left
them; however, if one examines some
of the old catalogs of the Univer-
sity, many strict rules will be found.
One cata1og for the year 1887 con-
tains rules which the student of to-
day would deem entirely unnecessary
Under the heading, Ladies' Depart
ment, special rules are set forth for
the government of women students.
Women were first admitted to the
University in 1872. They were re-
quired to wear uniform, which con-
sisted of a black walking suit a
black waist or basque and a black
hat. 1t is expressly stated that the
hat shall be simple, and that all
flowers, feathers and ornaments are
excluded from the uniform hat.
In addition to the black uniform
each young woman had to provide
herself with waterproof cloak, an
umbrella and a pair of overshoes.
The campus must have presented
rather gloomy appearance in those
good old days"
Men were also provided for. One
rule says that to enter a billiard or
drinking saloon upon any pretext
whatever; to carry concealed wea-
pons, or to use profane or indecent
language, or to use intoxicating drinks
of any kind is forbidden to students.

Movies in the War.

On the fast cruisers that convey the troop ships across the sea, the Y. M. c. A. movies are in many cases the only recreation the sailors have. Owing to the need of caution about showing lights, and owing to the fact that coal fills most of the space in the ship, these shows have to be given below decks in highly restricted quarters. Now and then 1t happens that the sailor who secures even standing room has to fight for the privilege.
 Tn government circles the story is told of bad labor situation which the movies remedied. At certain point in Chesapeake Bay, windswept and cheerless, it was impossible to keep a sufficient force of stevedores on the job until naval "Y" man came along with a tent and movie camera.
 In the transport service the Y. M. c. A. is using 750,OO0 feet of film, and 5OO,OOO feet have recently been select ed for use with the American forces in France. In choosing the films to be sent abroad, the viewers worked 36 hours at stretch and examined ap- proximately 100000 feet of film in order to find one-quarter of that amount that was both free from French rights and fit to be exhibited before American youngsters.
