Government Help Clear Farms Of
Stumps.

County Agent Behnke is very
desirous of seeing the farmers of
Lewis county get their share of
the picr.ic acid the government is
distributing at the nominal cost
of 10 cents a pound. This acid
is said to be more effective than
dynamite for blasting stumps,
etc, and is available through
your county agent.
The government had some 12,-
100000 pounds of the acid left
over in its war supplies, and it
was first planned to get rid of
it by dumping it in the ocean.
Then its value for removing
stumps on logged-off lands was
pointed out and it was decided
to distribute the article through
the agricultural department of
the various colleges and universe
ties of the country. The acid
was in bulk, but to make it con-
venient for handling, the govern
ment is putting it up in cartridg-
es and to cover the cost of this
make a charge of 10 cents per
pound.
1t is necessary for those desir-
ing the stuff to notify Mr..
so that he in turn can
make requisition on Dean Idd-
ings of the Idaho University for
Lewis county's quota.

Instability of labor employment and
faulty management, the committee
said, are major causes of waste in the
Industry, which is the largest manu-
featuring industry in the United States,
both in number Of employees and val
ne of products.
The average waste due to avoidable
labor turnover in the metal industry
is computed at $1OO,00O,0O0. Modern
employment methods, embracing the
study Of "why men quit" are urged.
Present industrial conditions in the
United States and abroad are declared
seriously to have affected the metal
trades industry, which as a whole is
operating at only about 60 per cent OF
normal.

DECISION BLOW
AT "OPEN SHOP"
Railroad Labor Board 0VerruIes
Pennsylvania Railroaf
Officials.
ALL SHOP CRAFTS RECOGNIZED
Matter at Issue Was Method Of Sc
Letting Employer Committees to
Negotiate New Working RuIes-New
Ballot Ordered Taken.

Without commenting specifically on
the "open shop" issue, the United
States railroad labor board overruled
the contention Of Pennsylvania rail-
way officials that their employees rep
resentatlves should be selected by a
popular vote" Of the workers, regard
less Of union Affiliations. 1t repudiated
elections already held, and ordered a
new one, prescribing the manner Of
voting.
The decision obviously aims to end
strife between the. Pennsylvania lines
and the shop crafts unions, without
supporting the stand of either party
to the dispute. The railroad had
frankly contended for the "open shop" |;
while the Pennsylvania system fedora
ton, which is affiliated with the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor, had main
tanned that its general chairmen
should represent the six shop crafts
in all negotiations between employees
and road officials.
The immediate purpose Of the deci-
sion Is to determine the manner in
which employees committees to nego-
tate working rules to replace the ma
tional agreements established under
federal control, shall be selected.
The Pennsylvania, ostensibly carry
ing out the order of the labor board
for conferences with its employees on
new rules, held a general election. The
| ballot supplied by the company desig-
mated no organizations. Votes were
to be cast for individuals only. The
union men refused to vote the COM
pany ballot. Instead, they issued one
on which their men could vote for the
federation or any other organization
or individual.
The Pennsylvania refused to deal
with any committee other than those
named on it's own ballot, With these
It negotiated certain rules, which have
been put into effect. The boards de
cision declares these rules void. 1t
will recognize only such rules as may
be negotiated by committees to be
elected as it now prescribes.
Accompanying the railroad Labor
board decision is a form ballot for use
in the new election. On this the EN-
ployees may return, as their repre-
sentatives, the Pennsylvania system
federation, the American Federation
of Railroad Workers, or any other or
ganization or individual. A majorit!
vote is to prevail.

MILK HELPS YOUNG ANIMALS
Skim Milk and Other Creamery BY.
Products Are Useful Feeds for
Pigs and Calves.

While whole milk is natures bal
anced food and is valuable for young
animals, skim milk and other creamery
by-prOducts, such as buttermilk and
whey, are also useful feeds, say spe-
cialists Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Skim milk is
fed to young pigs in the proportion Of
about three pounds to one of concen-
trates such as cOrnmeal or shorts.
Buttermilk, which has not been dl-
luted too much with water, has nearly
the same feeding value as skim milk.
1t is a better food for swine than for
calves because it is apt to cause d.
gestive disturbances when fed to the
latter, unless considerable care is
used. Whey is used almost exclusive
" in feeding swine. 1t is about two
thirds as valuable as skim milk as a
food. Accordingly from ten to twelve
pounds of whey are equivalent to one
pound Of grain. Sweet skim milk,
when supplemented with other feed
such as corn meal or wheat shorts, is
very good for young calves. If beet
calves are to be fed skim milk, they
should be fed in practically the same
manner as dairy calves.
