falfa Is Figured ut 1890.
To grow alfalfa hay costs the far
mers Of the Yakima valley, $3.50 per
ton, in 1921, as against 1861 the year
before. The main difference in costs
between the two years, according to
figures gathered and prepared by N
K. Miller, farm management specialist
OF the State College, was in the charge
for Labor haling and a sasxAsis ieker
u, ton for land.
Many people do not realize how the
cost of producing hay depends upon
four factors: labor, baling, interest
on the value of the land and the yield
per acre. In 1921 labor cost So cents
per hour, and 1t took 10 hours of man
labor to each ton of hay, or $500,
while this year the average cost was
but 35 cents an hour. or a reduction
of $1.44 ton.
The third large cost is the interest
on the value of the land. In 1920 the
average value placed on land was
$S25.00 per acre, while this year the
average was $275.00 per acre.
Horse labor charges, which might
be supposed to be high. only amounted
to 70 per cent of the total. while
hauling charges were rs per cent and
taxes 3.3 per cent.

HARDING SUPPORTS
SENATE ARMY BILL
Urges Retention of Provisions
for Officers, Enlisted Per-
sonnet and Guard.
HOUSE GRANTS TOO SMALL
Fears Impairment of Entire
Defense System Through
Lack of Funds.
HOUSE GRANTS TOO SMALL

WASHINGTON, June 5.--President Har-
ding in letter to-day to Chairman
Warren of the Senate Appropriation
Committee urged retention in the army
appropriation bill of provisions for Of
ficers, enlisted personnel and National
Guard voted by the Senate. ana opposed
the smaller provisions of the House bill.
II feel" he wrote. that the develop
ment of our national defense system un-
der the national defense act is of the
utmost Importance, and / am satisfied
that the allowances made by the Senate
represent the minimum under which even
the most conservative and modest pro-
gram of development is possible"
The Presidents letter was received at
the Capitol simultaneously with the be-
ginning of the conferences between
House and Senate delegations on the bill
and served to bolster the Senate con-
ferees who went into the negotiations
backed up by a two to one vote of their
body for the larger army.
Mr.. Harding expressed the fear that
were the House provisions to prevail
the training and progress Of the whole
defense system would seriously be inn
paired. He said that this particularly
would be true II any cut were made
from the Senate appropriation for the
National Guard. The House provision,
the President said, was so small that
1t would result in denying the benefits
of summer training to many of the
guard. and he therefore supported the
Senate item Of So. 100000 as against the
House provision of s6.500.0O0.
Provision for training a limited num-
Der of reserve officers also is essential,
Mr.. Harding declared. If anything is to
be made of that branch.
Mr.. Harding said the regular estab-
lshment must supply not only the
officer personnel it needs but provide
officers for the more important duties
in connection with the development of
the National Guard. the organized
reserve and tho system OF voluntary
military training. He asserted that the
number proposed by the House was too
low to permit this
With reference to the Officers Reserve
Corps. the President recalled that the
Republican party had promised In 1920
to aid In the development of that
branch of the service. and said that
he felt 1t necessary to begin now tho
task Of replacement of officers in the
corps, since most Of thcri are world war
veterans and Of necessity will be un-
available in q few years.

Retail coal dealers told Secretary
Hoover in a conference to-day of their
purpose to raise prices of coal in the
face of Government efforts to stabilize
prices during the strike and other
measures takan to prevent profiteering.
Dealers in the conference were mem-
bers of the National Retail Coal Mer-
chants Association. They expressed a
desire TO cooperate in Mr.. Hoover's
plan. so far as they could. but said a
rise in the retail prices was unavoid-
able, and attributed the approaching
rise partly to the establishment of
maximum fair prices fixed by Secretary
Hoover.
The secretary expected the maximum
prices fixed at the mine would enable
the retailers to adhere closely to pres
ent prices. He said he would not accept
the arguments presented that the coal
operators were to blame for the neces-
sity to boost prices.
Roderick Stephens or New York.
chairman of the board of directors OF
the association, told Mr.. Hoover that
longer hauls from the mines to con-
sumers also was n factor which made Il
necessary to charge higher retail prices.
Mr.. Stephens said IL was not now in
the power of retailers to check an ad-
vance in price. He charged that the
operators in many cases would exact
higher prices. and this increase must be
passed on to the consumer.
Government officials to-day recognized
that the coal strike may be felt by inn
portant industries before many weeks
have passed unless some development
terminates the strike. Government f1nan-
cial and business experts said the strike
was beginning to have an unfavorable
influence on some lines of industry. Coal
consumption now exceeds production by
about 1900, 900 tons a week.
Secretary of Labor Davis conferred
with bItuminous operators and sought
further information on the possibility OF
settlement OF the controversy. Score
tary Davis did not care to discuss> the
conference.

Just how long these troops will remain
In Germany neither Secretary Weeks nor
Secretary Hughes was able to say.
The unofficial understanding is that
the British Government was particularly
anxious that American troops continue
on the Rhine. The German Government
is understood to have concurred.
Internal European politics is said to
be one of the considerations. it being
recognized that complete American with
drawal would give rise in some quar-
tiers to the assertion that the United
States had washed Its hands of all af-
fairs pertaining to the armistice and
that the burden OF carrying out the
terms would rest with the other nations
which had been at war with Germany.

Rhine brought attention again to the

POTATO EMBARGO HERE
CALLED OFF BY &c. C..
Outerbridge Rebukes Hylan
for Snap Judgment

The Interstate Commerce Commission
in Washington served notice on the
Pennsylvania Railroad yesterday to
withhold the embargo on potatoes for
New York City. which was to have be-
come effective this morning. according
to Information received by the Port Au-
thority here last night.
This action was taken after a hearing
held at the instance of the Port Au-
thority, which opposed the plan TO dump
potatoes out at the Manhattan Produce
Yard in Kearny. y. j.. eight miles from
the city. The Port Authority was repre-
sented by J. Spencer Smith. vice
chairman; Julius Henry Cohen, counsel:
F. p. Cresson. chief engineer, and John
<. Ramsey. chief statistician. The In
terstate Commerce Commission told the
railroad officials not to put on the en-
argo pending a thorough Investigate ton
by the commissions own experts
Deputy Commissioner McShane of
Mayor Hylan's Department OF Markets
argued that the hearing should be post
poned in order that the city might have
more time for the preparation of its
case. After it had been explained to
Mr.. McShane that n postponement
would permit the embargo to take
effect and much damage to be done he
withdrew his request.
EugenluS Ii. 'OuterDrldge, chairman of
he Port Authority. had this to say last
night:
1T would be an excellent idea in the
interest of good government and In
telligent public opinion II the Mayor
would refrain from issuing statements
before he had discovered what the facts
were. Public officials should correctly
inform the people who have in most
cases no other sources of informatio
on public matters. The public should
rot be misled by erroneous allegations"

OF the railroad that the order Of the
road was issued because the large quan-
tity Of perishable freight arriving IN

Aside from meaning the release of

as precedent that would mean the

Olonder Says 1t Hits Right of
Voluntary Association.

CHICAGO. June 5.-Chicago labor men.
including Victor Olander. secretary OF
the Illinois State Federation of Labor
and vice-president of the International
Seamens Union. and John Fitzpatrick,
president of the Illinois Federation of
Labor indicated their disapproval OF the
Supreme Court decision in the Coronado
case.
The right of voluntary association is
the very foundation of modern civiliza-
tion." said Mr.. Olander. If this theory
is TO hold good-the theory which has
apparently been established in prin-
ciple by the Supreme Court-it means
that we can have no form of associa-
ton or organization except by express
sanction of the State.
Modern politics, religion and social
life are endangered IL that right is
denied. In the case of urades unions
this right is apparently denied under
this decision"
Its anothsr one OF those big bust
ness decisions" said Mr. Fitzpatrick.
1T won't have any bearing on the many
unions that are affiliated with our group
because we are always within the law
