F0RDSON VS. HORSE =

4 Cnquestionably the prevailing idea
with the average rancher today is to
improve his method of farming or
iranching. Agriculture is n scientific
| business which requires changes from
time to time 10 conform with the new
economic conditions.
! The methods of farming used by ou,.
grandfathers were possibly the most
practical for tilling Mother Earth at
that age, but many changes have tax.
en- place within the last few years
which constitute the high prices of
farm products and various materials.

of feed consumed by working stock.
together with the many other prevail.
ing conditions which are now attract
ing the undivided attention of the
wide-awake farmer.
Agricultural statistics show that the
mule or average farm horse consumes
the output of five acres annually and
averages but three and one.half hours
actual work per day. This means that
two mules will require the entire out.
put of ten acres of land and Mt the
same time will require the attention of
one farm hand TO work them in prepar.
ing the land.
Many of the leading ranchers haze
solved this question of expense by mot.
orizing their farms. They have pur.
chased tractors. and the farm imp.e.
ments designed for use with them. a9d
by So doing have been able to do the
work with much less expense and i'm
one half the time required by the old
methods. making the occuI,a.
ton both pleasant and profitable bIr-
mess.
An interesting test was recently !
made by tractor owner, during whi,f

the follwoins results:

of power farming.

FOR EX-SERVICE MEN
State College Plan Made Possible by
Legislative Act Founding Veter-
ans Welfare Commission

Arrangements are being worked
ont under the direction of Pres
ident Holland for the State College
to employ in the institutional work
for which they are fitted ex-
service men who may wish to enter
college and earn part or most of
their expenses while in attendance.
The plan is made possible by the pro-
visions of the legislative act found
ing the Veterans Welfare commits
SIGN, of the last legislature, and pro-
viding funds for the state employ
ment of veterans.
According to the law, such men
should be engaged only on work di-
rectly connected with or for the clear
benefit of the Washington State Col

farms, experimental stations, main
tenance of grounds and buildings,
and so on, according to the fitness
of the men employed.
According to the Interpretation Of
the act which has been given the
State College authorities the amount
allowed any man should not exceed
his reasonable living expenses while
attending the college Unless con-
ditions are very unusual, only men
who were bona fide residents OF
Washington at the time Of their en-
listment or induction may be thus
employed.

FRIDAY EVENING
OPEN FOR SOCIALS

The mooted open Friday" ques-
ton at the State College was definite
ly settled Wednesday when, at a joint
meeting of the faculty and student
social committees. it was voted to
permit social events on Friday even
ings in future. giving the students
two open nights, Friday and Satur-
day. Previous to the war the two
nights were allowed the students but
two years ago the ban was placed
on Friday evening social events as a
war measure, rule which has stood
since that time The question of
again authorizing student gatherings
Oh Friday evening was preached with
year and occasioned an interesting
discussion in student meetings and
through the columns of the college
paper. y recent motion before the
associated student body to curtaiI
formal functions even to a greater
extent than during the period of the
war was tabled, but the measure had
many advocates.
The rule adopted by the joint COM
mittee is to the effect that all Fri
day evening social events must be
scheduled in advance by the social
committee, and must conclude by
11:30.

PULLMAN RECEIVES
CHINESE PHEASANTS
Dozen Game Birds Sent Here for
Liberati0n-Open Game Season
Still Unsettled

X. w. Carter, deputy county game
warden for the Pullman district, Sat
urday received II young Chinese
pheasants for planting in this COM
munity. The birds are thought to
be too young for liberation and will
be kept in captivity by Mr. Carter
until they are old enough to take
care of themselves, when they will
be liberated. Fifty of the game birds
are assigned to Whitman county by
the state game warden, coming from
the Walla Walla game farm, and the
Pullman quota was sent here by the
county game commission.
There is much uncertainty here as
garian partridges this year. The
county game commission declared an
open season on the birds for the first
two weeks in November but this ac-
tion was declared invalid by the state
game warden in a recent ruling. In
some counties, where the same con-
dition prevailed, the county game
warden has permitted the hunting
OF the game birds in question, assur-
ing the sportsmen that no arrests will
| be made Whether the Whitman
county commission will take the same
course is problematical

OFFICERS CHOSEN
FOR THE RED CROSS
Dean Beach Explains the Work Out
lined for Coming Year 10y the Ma
tional Organization

The board of directors of the local
Red Cross met last Friday for the
purpose of making plans for the com
ing year, and for the election of Of
ficers.
Dean Beach, having attended the
meeting in Spokane at which time
the national chairman of the Red
Cross. DR.. Livingston Farrand, was
present, gave report of the peace
program of the Red Cross as outlined
by DR.. Farrand. The three most
vital points of the new program were
especially emphasized by Dean Beach.
First, the great need of Europe
today for clothing and for medical
supplies. In order to supply these
needs it will be necessary for the
Red Cross To make and ship large
numbers of garments during the
winter.
Second, the continuance and MAX
ing permanent of the home service
branch of the Red Cross. The origi-
nal work of this branch was to meet
the problems of the families of men
in service and to help returned men.
Since all problems of suffering are
regularly with us, and must be met,
the work of the home service will
be along this line, helping all fam
lilies. The scope of this work will be
left to the community.
The third and biggest work of the
Red Cross is to be the health center
programs. The previous work of the
Red Cross in the prevention of tu-
berculosis was pointed out and the
new plans for the prevention of tu-
berculosis and other diseases were
outlined, health center for meet
ing these problems being strongly
urged by the Red Cross.
Dean Beach emphasized the fact
that the Red Cross was nor an emer-
gency agent to act during the war,
as many persons seem to think, but
a permanent organization with def
mite work to do.
The probable re-occurence of the
influenza was discussed as local
problem, the matter being left to the
committee on civilian relief.
The following officers were elect
ed:
Chairman-Mrs George Ewing.
Vice chairmaG-Mrs. Pfeiffer.
Secretary-Mrs. Lester Folger.
Treasurer-A. r. Metz
Home service secretary Mrs. r
+. Potter.
Chairman of the committee on civ
ilian relief-Wm. Goodyear
The chairman appointed the for
lowing persons to serve as a board
of directors: Mrs. e. w. Downen
Mrs. Thos Neill, Dean Beach. Mr.
Pinkley, DR.. Kinney Mr.. Allen. Mr.
Forrest and Mr. Slagle.

Claims were also made that tber,

that the difference in price be fixed

duction of one cent per pound ppr

ton, according to Dean Johnson, was
received quite favorably by Director
Barnes, and possibilities for favorable
consideration of the proposal are not
remote.
Another specific grievance OF the
farmer was noted in which the farm
er himself was In error, due to an
erroneous impression Of the real con-

farmers were set right on the ques- /
