COST OF PRODUCTION
OF FARM PRODUCTS
VIII BE Important Feature of the
Work of the Newly Organized
Department OF Farm
Management

The organization of a department
of farm management in the agricul-
tural college and experiment station
has been approved by the board of
regents OF the Washington State Col
lege, on the recommendation OF Dean
e. C. Johnson and President Il. o..
Holland.
In the college the department viii
teach the courses in farm manage
ment and in the experiment station
will make studies of the farm BUSH
ness and methods of farm organiza-
ton that prove most profitable in the
different agricultural areas of the
state. How to organize the farm
business for greatest efficiency and
profit will be given careful attention
and the cost of producing farm pro-
ducts will receive special considera-
ton. The investigations now being
planned in the cost of producing
dairy products in the dairy sections
of the state and the cost of producing
wheat in the grain growing areas will
receive first consideration.
Prof. George Severance, vice-dean
OF the college of agriculture, has been
named head of the new department
of farm management. Through his
II years experience in the state of
Washington, as teacher of agricul-
ture In the State College, investi-
gator, superintendent of the Western
Washington Experiment Station, and
acting dean and director of the col
lege of agriculture and experiment
station for almost two years, he has
become thoroughly familiar with the
outstanding farm management prob
lens in every section of the state. In
addition to heading the new depart
ment, Prof. Severance will continue
as vice-dean of the college of agri-
culture.

THOMAS CHASTEEN
PASSES AWAY

Thomas Jefferson Chasteen, aged
IS years, who had been a resident of
Pullman for eight years, passed away
on May 8 after lingering illness.
MIR. Chasteen was born in Indiana,
August 20, 1857, but the most of his
life was spent in Minnesota. In 1879
he married Dorlisha Farthing, who
died II years ago. A son, Arthur
Chasteen, and two daughters, Mrs,
Alfred Krohn and Mrs. w. J. Burdick,
live in Spokane. Six years ago Mr..
Chasteen was united in marriage
with Bertha Winterer, who survives
him. Mr.. Chasteen had known for
some time that he had contracted a
fatal malady and to the minister who
visited him frequently he often ex-
pressed longing to live, but be-
cause of strong faith in the merits
of his Lord and Savior he had no fear
of death. He was not very extensive
ly known in the community, but be-
cause of his kindly and cheerful dis
position he made friends wherever
he was known. The body was taken
to Spokane for burial.

than heretofore, when there was vir-
tually no demand. The tonnages in
yolved in the present inquiries are small,
but some interests believe that there
is a possibility that a decided change
might come If the inquiries increase and
call for larger quantities.
The production of the steel mills Of
the country ranges all the way from
% to 90 per cent, the latter by the
plants of the United States Steel Cor
poration. For the industry as whole,
it is the estimate in wellinformed quar-
ters at present that the average is be-
tween 45 and 4S per cent. with pros
poets of further curtailment by some
of the smaller companies which are
finding it difficult to secure orders to
take care of their output.
One of the important developments
during the last week was a meeting of
the members of the general committee of
the Am ican Iron and Steel Institute
held in4she offices Of Judge Il. II. Gary,
president of the institute and chairman
of the United States Steel Corporation,
last Tuesday. 1t is significant that this
gathering was the most secret ever held
by this committee and no announcement
was Forthcoming after adjournment.
From reliable sources, however, it
is learned that it was the consensus OF
opinion among those present that the
steel manufacturers should stand pat on
the prices they agreed to put into effect
the recommendation of the industrial
board, to which objection has been made
by the railroad administration led by
Director General of Railroads Hines.
Mr.. Hines has come forward with a
suggestion that another conference be
held in an effort to adjust the contro-
versy. and it is hoped among the rank
and file in the steel trade that the gen
eral committee will take firm stand
n the matter and show the members
of the railroad administration the futil-
ity of their attitude under the present
circumstances Of costa Of materisis and

INCREASED BUYING
OF FINISHED STEEL
Underlying Conditions OF Indus
try Virtually Unchanged.
Trade Holds OF

New York, May 3.-There has been
some increase in the buying of finished
steel products during the last week, but
this increase should not be confused as
indicating any materia- change in the
underlying conditions of the industry.
1t must be remembered that the COM
parsons are made with previous weeks
when buyers were holding off because
of the attitude of the railroad admins
tration on steel prices.
/ Because Of this fact /. is believed
in the trade that the activity now noted
is due entirely to the demands Oh some
consupers who are not willing to wait
any longer before covering their require
ments, believing that the prices as
agreed upon between the steel manu-
facturers and the members OF the indus
trial board Of the Department OF Com :
merce will stand at least until the de-
liveries are made on the orders just
placed.
Quite few mills report slightly
better demand for shapes and plates,
but it is admitted that the increase is
not of sufficient proportions to cause
any great enthusiasm. Bars also have
been we'll purchased, but this branch
OF the steel trade has been ahead Of
the others for several weeks.
In structural steel there is a much
better feeling. due 10 the fact that 10
lquiries have been considerably lsrge'
