GRAIN AND
HAY RATES
LOWERED
Freight Tariffs On
Coast and In Middle
West Reduced by /.
G. G.. Order

Washington, Oct. 22.-In a
sweeping dsc'sion involving the
entire railroad situation, wage
scales, depression in industry and
finances, the interstate commerce
commission today ordered the
freight rates on grain, grain prod
ucts and hay throughout the west
ern half of the United States re-
duced by an average of approxi-
mately 16 per cent.
Effective at Once.
Notice was given the carriers
that the commission expected the
reductions to be put into effect
Immediately and by November 20
at the latest, and that the low
state of railroad earnings, which
led to the increases in 1920,
should hereafter be rectified by
reductions in wages and prices and
that downward tendency should
be set for the rates.
Anticipated by statements in
official quarters bearing upon the
strike call of the railroad brother
hoods, the decision was rendered
in the case brought to the COM
mission September 3 by western
state and agricultural organiza-
tions. The commission unani-
mously held with the states petit
tioning for reductions, though
conceding the difficult financial
situation of the railroads.
Flour Rate Lowered.
The decision removes from
wheat and hay one-half of the in
creases'given the railroads in 1920
and on all other grains fixes the
rates at 10 per cent less than those
on wheat. The commission fur
ther ordered a new Relationship
built up in the rates on grain prod
ucts, including flour and Other
commodities, to agree with the
\ lower level on the raw material
, The increases given in 1920 gave
the carriers a 35 per cent advance
in the Mississippi valley and west
ern territory and SS 1-3 per cent
i advance on commodities moving
across the division line, of which
half is taken away.
Effect of Cut Shown.

ures illustrating what a 16 pc
cent reduction in rates on grair
and grain products and hay would

offices of the Spokane, Portland
and Seattle railway today.
The present rate on grain ant
grain productions between Wall;
Walla, Wash, and Portland, il
2015 cents a hundred, and reduced
16 per cent would make the rat
\ II cents. The rate on hay be
tween the same points is % Il
cents, which reduced 16 per cen
would make it 20 cents.
Between Spokane and Portland
the rate on grain and grail
products is 27 cents, which re
duced 16 per cent would be 221s
cents. Hay between these point
is 80 cents, and under the 16 pc
cent reduction the rate would b
25 cents.

Potato Bugs in Benton County

ToldtO DugS IN bentOn SOunty
One locality, Longview on the Co
lumbia side of the Horse Heaven coun-
try, has sent in specimens of the reg
ular Colorado potato beetle to the
County Agents office.
The beetle Injuries potatoes by eat
ing off the foliage. The adult is
about three-eighths of an inch long;
in general shape resembles a half
pea, rounded side up; in color it is
yellow with ten longitudinal black
stripes down its back. The larvae or
immature bug is pale red to orange,
soft and plump, sometimes having a
row of black dots along each side.
The eggs are orange and are laid in
small clusters on the underside of the
leaves.
IF there are just few bugs in a
small patch they can be controlled by
picking them off by hand every two
or three days until no more can be
found. IF this is not practical, use
an arsenical spray. Arsenate of lead,
two pounds (if dry powder) to so gal
Ions of water, will control them if the
spraying is done carefully. 1t may
take as long as 4S hours for it to act.
After ten days the spraying may have
to be repeated if many eggs have
Matched in the meantime.
Since this bug can develop into a
scourge to the potato industry it be-
hooves every farmer to be on the look
out. Any doubtful specimens will be
gladly accepted for investigation.

noon Tuesday partook of the first
annual home products dinner of
the Pullman chamber of commerce
The dinner was prepared and served
by Robinson's bakery, and every item
on the menu was produced within a
radius of 10 miles of Pullman. The
long tables were piled high with de-
licious edibles and printed menus
gave the source of every article
served. The menus contained the
following inscription: Pullman, the
heart of the greatest agricultural
district in the world, produces every
thing requisite to prepare daily

CHAUTAUQUA PROGRAMS
DREW BIG CROWDS
Annual Event Proves Financial Sue
cess as Well as Providing High
Glass Entertainment

The annual Evansville chautau-
qua, conducted by the Ellison-White
entertainers, closed Monday evening
with a big dance in Evansville hall.
The chautauqua proved a financial
success, the proceeds from the dance
proving sufficient to make up the
deficit on the sale of tickets, and all
of the expenses, totaling $3.50, were
taken care of. The success Of the
chautauqua is due, in great measure,
to the hard work of the officers of
the Evansville chautauqua associa-
ton, of which A. e. Olson was presi-
dent. Fifty farmers of the Ewarts-
Vile district have already signed up
for the event next year, guara%tee-
ing the expenses of the entertain
ment.
The play, sit Pays to Advertise, p"
given Saturday evening, and the lee
ture on "Remaking the Kentucky
Mountaineer, given Friday evening
by James A. Burns, proved the big
drawing cards of the five-day chau-
tauqua, although all of the programs
were highly enjoyed by the big au-
diences.
Many persons participated in the
picnic given on the grounds Sunday
taking their basket lunches The ad-
dress by Rev. c. n. Curtis, on the
disarmament question, was greatly
appreciated.
The officers of the association de-
sire to express their appreciation OF
the liberal patronage which made
the event a financial success
Evansville is the only rural com
munity in the state where a chau'
tauqua has proved successful, ac-
cording to the Ellison-White people
and the citizens of the community
were warmly commended for theil
interest in clean, educational enter
tainment.

WHEAT PROSPECTS GOOD
BIG YIELD PREDICTED
Contracts Offered on Basis of ST. 90
for August Is Dclivery-Thresh-
ermen to Reduce Prices

That fall and spring wheat in the
Pullman vicinity, while considerably
reduced in acreage, will produce
tully as great tonnage as during
the past two years, is the prediction
OF local grain men who are closely
i'll touch with the local situation.
Fall wheat gives promise of an ex-
ceptional yield and the hot weather
of the past few days has resulted in
great improvement to spring wheat,
which has been somewhat handi-
capped by lack of sunshine.
Local grain buyers are offering to
contract for new crop wheat at a
dollar a bushel on basis of No. |
white, but stipulate August . de-
livery. This delivery date is at least
two weeks too early for the majority
of the farmers Of this community
and no contracts are being executed
on that basis. With 10 per cent of
the 1920 crop still in the hands of
the farmers, there has been no sell
ing for the past three weeks. with
prevailing quotations ranging from
80 to 95 cents. The 1920 oat crop
has practically all been moved, but
much barley is still in the ware
houses, with ST. per ton no induce
ment to the holders to sell.
Local threshermen are beginning
to get their outfits in shape for the
season run. Some of the operators
hope to be able to thresh this year
for as low as IL cents per bushel or
about half the average price of last
year. Sacks are selling at eight
cents, as against % cents last year,
and farm labor will show a reduc-
ton of fully 40 per cent

NEW DUMPING GROUND
FOR CITY OF PULLMAN
Tract of Land Purchased From Joe
Lingg for $1000-Council Inter
ested i'm Park Improvement
Program

The city council has closed a deal
with Joe Lingg, farmer residing
just northwest of town, for the pur-
chase of a site for a new city dump
ing ground, The purchase price is
$1,000, The property is located
north of the City Market slaughter
house and the new dump heap will
not be visible from the public high
ways The purchase of the new
dumping ground is the result OF
strenuous objections raised by j. K.
Smawley to the former grounds,
which were close to his property and
an eyesore to the city, being visible
from the railroad tracks and public
highways Henceforth Pullman citi-
zens will be required to use the new
grounds and the old site will be
cleaned up.
At it's meeting Tuesday night the
city council decided to request the
county commissioners to proceed at
once with the construction OF the
county bridge across Missouri flat
creek, north of Pullman, on the
route of the proposed improved road
leading north The contract for the
construction of the new road was let
several weeks ago to the Standard
Asphalt Paving company Of Spokane
and the council hopes to have the
bridge in place before work is start
ed on the road The same company
is now rushing to completion its con
tracts for paving on Methodist hill
and in College park, an aggregate OF
over 80 blocks Of paving. Work on
the north road probably will not
commence until the two other con
tracts are completed.
