PURE AIR QUITE NECESSARY
Drafts Should Be Carefully Avoided
and Poultry House Kept at Even
Temperature.

Filthy air Is practically breathing
poison. Pure air furnishes the oxygen
which keeps the life processes going
and when the air becomes stale or foul,
the birds become weak and sickly.
The problem for the poultryman. there
fore, is to let In plenty of air without
drafts and without making the hen
house so cold as to he uncomfortable.
On almost all sunny days the windows
can be opened when the flock is exer-
cis.ng, scratching In litter for its food,
and that gives n chance to air the
house thoroughly. Even In the coolest
night the windows may be lowered n
little at the top {very little when it is
very cold) and the birds will obtain
fresh air. Ii the wind blows In. piece
of burlap can be hung over the open
space through which the air can get In
and by which the wind can be kept out.

specifies that the former kaiser is to

of the legal powers of such II court

BUCKWHEAT fine
FOR POOR SOILS
Profitable Yield May Be Secured
Where Wheat, or Even Rye,
Cannot Be Grown.
EXCELLENT AS COVER CROP
can Be Grown on Land Where Spring
Sown Crops. Such as Corn, Have
Failed to Make 4 Stand
Many Other Uses.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture,)
Buckwheat is in general the best
grain crop for poor, thin land. Its nat
ural and favorite environment is back
In the hills" On land where wheat
or even rye cannot be grown with profit
buckwheat is often able to produce
profitable yield. The climatic condl-
tions. however, must be favorable.
On acid soils, which are quite com
mon In the northern states, buckwheat
does well. 1t does not require large
supplies of lime in the soil, although
lime is taken up largely by the plant.
Good Summer Cover Crop.
Low-grade fertilizers may be used to
advantage In the growing of buck
wheat, as it can make use of relatively
insOluble materials to better advan-
iage than the other grain crops. 1t
may be used to render available i'm
soluble phosphates. like rock phos-
phate, as these are taken up by the
plant In larger quantities than by
other small grains. To obtain the
greatest benefit from such applications
to follow crops, the buckwheat should
be grown as summer cover crop to
be piowed under as green manure in
preparation for fall seeding.
Buckwhent serves to make even very
hard land mellow and frlable. Consc-
quently 1t Is good crop TO use in
preparation for such crops as potatoes.
AS It has short growing period,
buckwheat can be grown on land where
spring-sOwn crops, such as corn, have
failed To make stand. II can also
be used where the land cannot be
worked until late. or where other
crops have been drowned out by late
spring floods.
Enlarge Farm Activities.
Buckwheat can be used to enlarge
farm activities. After other crops
that must he sown early are all in
there is often time to prepare land and
SOW buckwheat. On account OF the
short growing season 1t may be sown
later than any other grain crop. Where
II is 50 used 1t often may be advisable
to SOW 1t even on rich land which other
wise could be used more profitably for
other crops.
Buckwheat is suitable crop for
growing on new ground. Land just
cleared OF timber or drained marsh
land containing much decaying vege-
table matter will produce good yields
of this grain.

A community is prosperous in proper
ton as it's payroll-producing interests
prosper.
In Oregon and Washington lumber pays
approximately GO per cent of all wages.
1t employs more than 100000 people.
Payrolls cannot be financed unless
products are sold. Products cannot be
sold unless markets are available.
A serious situation now confronts the
Pacific Northwest lumber industry. It
necessarily will reflect in the economic
welfare and development of every city
or smaller community from California
to and beyond the British Columbia line.
No extended statement as to the nee
essity of safeguarding the present or
future development and growth of the
Pacific Northwest lumber industry seems
necessary.
The problem most serious at this time
is the INCREASE IN FREIGHT RATES
dating from August 26.
In this statement, and in subsequent
statements, the lumber industry will
deal with this freight rate problem, but
not with intent to criticize agencies of
transportation, governmental bodies
which fix rates, or competing lumber
producers.
The industry will attempt to portray
conditions as they exist = forecasting
slightly as to the future = and in any
event furnishing the public an accurate
basis from which to reach conclusions
as to what the lumber industry needs
and must have to exist, as we'll as enab-
ling the public to realize the conse-
quences of failure on the part of all
interested to bring about better indus
trial and marketing conditions.
The principal product of Pacific North
west numbering is Douglas Fir.
It's principal competitor is Southern
Pine.
The production of Southern Pine is
twice that of Douglas Fir
West Goa
The Seattle star. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1899-1947, 1920-09-18

Before the recent advance the North
west Coast rate to Chicago, which is the
largest lumber consuming market in the
world, was 60c per hundred pounds; yell
low pine rate was 81 1-2c. An increase of
80 1-3 per cent has been added to both
rates, thus increasing THE FIR RATE
zoe as compared WITH INCREASE FOR
SOUTHERN PINE OF 1O1-2c.
Before the percentage increase, fir was
fighting for it's share of the business in
Chicago-for instance under a freight
rate handicap amounting to 1851 per
thousand feet of lumber. The present
increase adds $2.27 per thousand to that
disadvantage, making total of $9.O8 per
thousand which FIR WILL HAVE TO
ABSORB IN ORDER TO MEET SOUTH
ERN PINE competition at that point.
Under the new freight rates fir, in COM
petition with Southern pine, is asked to
absorb:
Minneapolis IS a7s per NJ IT. sAoo per average car
Dies Moines $50 per NJ flor $4,000 per average car
St Louis l1.ss per NJ IT. 1890 per average
Kansas City s.37 per NJ IT. or 2os.25 per average
Indianapolis 124s per H. IT. 31l5o per average
Detroit l1.2s per NJ It. $500 per average car
Ptsbuy 80. 1912 per NJ IT, 10000 per average
New York;. 1911 per NJ # Splits per average car
These are heavy consuming points of
both fir and pine lumber.
The approximately two hundred thou
sand cars of Northwest forest products
shipped annually have heretofore paid
freight bill of FIFTY-FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS. If the present increases stand,
there will be an added freight charge of
FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLARS, pro-
vided the same amount of lumber is
shipped
This proviso is all important to the rail
roads as we'll as to the shippers. If we may
be allowed to make forecast, will state
that at present freight rates lumber will
not move in the same quantities that it
has in the past.

TO The EMPLOYEES OF
THE LUMBER Industry
and TO The PUBLIC:

Statement No. 1-September Is, 1920
For many years to come the produc-
ton of Southern Pine will be billions of
feet annually in excess of Douglas Fir.
The Southern Pine belt is far from
exhausted.
The two woods are sold in the same
markets east of Denver; and neither the
Fir nor the Southern Pine industry can
exist if denied access to markets such
as Chicago and other principal lumber
consuming centers.
AS to logging, manufacturing and the
various processes necessary to the placing
of the manufactured product on the cars,
the two woods may be considered to be
substantially on the same basis of cost.
But by far the greatest cost in the pro-
duction of lumber is labor. 1t is 60 per
cent of the total cost of manufacturing.
The South has low wage scale and a ten
to twelve-hour standard day as against
high wage scale and an eight-hour stand
ard day for Oregon and Washington lum-
Der manufacture.
And fir is approximately twice as far
as Southern pine from the large cons,m-
ing lumber markets.
That fact should be remembered, as it is
the West Coasts distance from necessary
markets, and the cost of transportation
thereto, that has been the West Coast mill
operators great obstacle in the past
The recent increase in freight rates has,
in effect, removed West Coast mills still
farther from the necessary Eastern mar
kets; and this primary problem-trans-
portation and the cost thereof-has now
become greatly emphasized.
For years West Coast manufacturers
have struggled to overcome this distance
from-market handicap, without much
success until the war created an opportu-
nifty for wider distribution of West Coast
lumber, and caused the West Coast woods
to become we'll and favorably known in a
considerable portion of the Eastern part
of the United States.

Hylan Invites All Agggrieved
Tenants to Join Rent Strike

Any tenant threatened with an in
war on profiteering landlords may re-
ceive the support of the city by apply
ing to Room 1920, Municipal Building,
which is the headquarters Of the
Mayors Committee on Rent Protiteer-
ing. Should the threatened increase
be found unreasonable, the tenant will
be advised to go on rent strike. The
landlord then will be subpenaed and
told that his premises will be invaded
by horde of tenement house inspec-
tors If he persists in demanding the
increase.
The fact that New York officially is
conducting a rent strike developed yes
terday after James F. Cannon jr., di-
rector of revenue and finance of Jer-
Hylan at City Hall on the rent situa-
tion in New York. Mr.. Cannon de-
tailed to the Mayor how the Jersey
City authorities had helped tenants in
a advertised, city-wide strike and
how more than $500 profiteering land
lords had been induced to yield, in
most instances without the formality
Of going into court. Mr.. Cannon also
suggested to the Mayor plan to build
out of the public funds enough apart
ment houses in vacant land in the
Bronx and on Long Island to take care
Of the city's present surplus population.
Mayor "Much Pleased"
After the conference, the Mayor said
he was "much pleased with Mr.. Gan
mons excellent scheme.s He promised
