DRY Law To
Be ENFORCED
THREE THOUSAND AGENTS WILL
RE ON Jon AFTER july FIRST
TO SEE THAT NATION PROHIBI.
TlON Is CARRIED OUT

WASHINGTON, April ll.-Thre,
thousand internal revenue agents
working In specially arranged zones
throughout the United States, will
enforce prohibition after July /. nc.
cording to plans just announced by
the revenue bureau,
Nearly 500 inspectors will be train.
ed for the work. to be added to the
force OF 22SS revenue agents already
available for police regulations. and
the machinery for enforcement will
be in working order before the date
when absolute prohibition becomes
effective.
This force of special agents will be
distributed among the districts wnere
law violation is threatened to the
largest extent. and special attention
will be paid to cities where revenue
officials look for most persistent ef-
forts to make whisky illegally. In
addition. the revenue authorities plan
to cooperate with local police, and
to, leave the greater part OF the en-
forcement work to these authorities
in localities where the poles appear
efficient. Without such n plan the
force of even 5000 federal agents
would be insufficient to police the
entire country.
Although manufacture OF liquor
for personal use will be equally H.
legal with the production for sale.
revenue agents are expected to de-
vote most OF their time to the com.
traffic, and to leave the en-.
forcement OF the law against person.
al manufacturers to local police.
Although heretofore. liquor viola
tions have been found by revenue !
agents mainly among moonshiners |
Of southern mountains. however, pro- |
hibition is expected to stimulate H. ,
licit distillation enormously in cities. /
One aspect OF liquor law violations
has grown out of the hundreds of re-
,ipes for home manufacture of beer,

PROSPECTS FOR
STATE CROPS
ARE VERY GOOD

The first half of the month Of
March was wet and cold. During the
latter half better than normal March
conditions prevailed, and much plow-
ing and seeding was done. In the
western part of the state some seed.
ing was reported as early as March
20. Weather Bureau records at
Portland show a rainfall of 405
inches from March l to IS, and only
a trace for the remainder of the
month. Temperatures during the lat
ter half of the month were very
favorable for the growth of grass and
fall wheat Early blooming varieties
OF fruit trees in sheltered spots were
nearly in full bloom. Fruit men fear
heavy damage may occur from frosts
or cold rain since all early fruits
will be in full bloom very soon un-
less present weather conditions
change very shortly
The heavy precipit tion of Febru-
ary and the early part of March pro-
duced heavy snowfall in the noun
tain regions. This depth of snow is
now reported as being about normal,
therefore stockmen and farmers feel
assured of a normal supply of water |
for stock and irrigation during the
coming summer.
Reports generally indicate a very
high condition Of winter wheat, many
aids reporting a condition figure in
excess of 100. A very few acres
drowned OUT in Western Oregon,
and there was some reseeding in
Eastern Oregon due to freezing
out" but on the whole the winter
losses appear to be lower than the
average. Some damage from wire
worms is also reported.
Reports from correspondents in
dicate that the farm labor supply is
more plentiful than last year. but
considerably below the usual require
ments. Notwithstanding the fact that
such development is reported from
many towns and cities, there is still
a shortage of help in the farming
and live stock sections.
The demand for farm labor over
the state as whole is reported as
being slightly less than the average.
A large increase in the use of tract
ors is a factor in this lessened de-
mand for help. A very favorable seed
ing season last fall reduced the
amount of work to be done this
spring, as compared with the past
few years. High wages prevailing
for farm help, have had the effect OF
putting workers in the field that
would not be there under ordinary
This applies to farm own
ers, elderly men, young boys and
women. One correspondent from the
wheat belt writes -"Am working
one twelve horse team and my wife
s working another. No hired help
since last September. Seeded 900
lcres last fall"
The April 1st condition of the win
er wheat crop over the United States
Is q whole (99.8 per cent? is higher
han for any other year since 1882.
On April !, 1918 the figure was 49,
