AGR|CUL
 CONFERENCE ID
 BE CALLED SOON
National Conference Called by secre- tary Wallace to Relieve Distress
 Among the Farmers.

WASHINGTON, D. C., January 6 A National Agricultural Conference has been called to meet in Washington January twenty-third. Secretary Wal lace has issued the call upon the sug- gastion of President Harding, that such a conference should be called to consider ways and means for the re- lief of the distressful condition among the farmers.
 The farmers in the country have not been able to adjust themselves to the fall in prices of their products. The great difficulty is the price paid to the producer has dropped out of sight, while the retail price has dropped very little. The reason for this is that the country was stocked up to meet the demand brought on by the war and peace caught the country with a stock of expensive goods on it's hands These war goods have to be unloaded before much is bought from the pro- ducer. The result is that the producer is in hard circumstances.
 The new demand for over thirty million dollars worth of food stuff for the starving Russians will help the farmer to some extent The Agricul- tural Conference will try to devise some means to carry the farmer over the period of readiuStment

POLK HOP CROP
MUCH HEAVIER
THAN EXPECTED

Dallas. Or, Aug. 19.-The hop
crop In Polk county is going to be
much better than was anticipated
some time ago. Just at the right
time came the copious rains of last
week to make the hops fill out In
good shape. In former years the
foliage was somewhat heavier
than this year, but the hops are
going to be large and the yield
will be entirely satisfactory to the
growers.
Hop picking for the earlier va
rieties Is now under way at the
j. r. Cooper estate yard and also
at the Ruch yard.
Picking at the big Wigrich
yard will start Monday with about
ESQ pickers registered, and 1t is
the expectation that by the time
the early hops are harvested the
clusters will be ready. At the
heighth Of the season. the Wigrich |
yard employees close onto 700 pick
ers. A large eating house will be
operated at the yards by Mrs,
Crosby Davis of Independence.
Last reports from the growers
state that they are anticipating
no trouble in securing pickers.

SW|MMIN' HOLE
FOR DALLAS KIDS
IS CLUB PLAN

Dallas, Or, Aug. 19.-The kids
young folks and others who are
not SO young, but who still enjoy
the pleasures of getting into an
honest-to-goodness swimming hole
on a warm day. are going to have
regular swimming hole, that is
II the members of the executive
committee OF the Dallas CONNER
cial club have anything to say
about 1t. This was brought out
at the last NEE, - OF this com
mittee. The committee is consid-
ering ways and means of making
this condition possible, either by
trading land, buying 1t or secur-
ing 1t by some other means. The
plan that seems to be meeting
with the most favor is the pur-
chase OF small strip of land
along the banks of the creek. This
could probably be .vne at small
outlay OF money.
The condition of various roads
In the county was also brought
up for consideration, especially
the roads in the Oakdale section
which is traversed by the mail
carrier ON route three. The mat
ter was placed In the hands OF the
road committee of the club with
the suggestion that they adopt
some means to improve the roao
In the near future.
The college campus also had its
innings, with the suggestion made
that some method Of proper drain
age be figured out. The school |
board has a 20-year lease on this
property and 1t has been used to a
great extent as baseball and
football ground. In order to get
some action started the matter
was left to a committee OF two
N. l.. Guy and w. V. Fuller. A
suggestion was made to lay tile
over the property and then cover
with sawdust and on top OF this
a covering OF dirt. This would
afford drainage that would
make 1t possible to use the
grounds shortly after the heaviest
rains.
The old laundry building, To-
Gated close to the campus, also
met with much unfavorabIe com
ment and various were the plans
suggested in order to have it re- I
moved. 1t was finally decided to
cave its fate in the hands of the
'ity council with the recommen-
iation that 1t be declared unsani-
ary and also menace.

D. c. RAIL MERGER
BILLS DENOUNCED
Capital Traction Official
Calls Both Measures Un-
fair to His Company.
SCORES PROFITS CLAUSES
Requests Permission to Argue Be-
fore Committee Against Pro-
posed Law.

A strong protest against any action
by the House District committee or
the House on either of the two street
railway merger bills now in commit
tee was entered today by President
George E. Hamilton of the Capital
Traction Company, in a letter which
he sent to Representative Ben. Focht
of Pennsylvania, chairman OF the
House District committee.
Mr.. Hamilton protested particularly
against the bill passed by the Senate
on Saturday, which carries an excess
profits tax provision, intended to force
a merger of the two companies.
Representative Focht said that the
committee would give consideration
to the bills, in all proba bility. and he
would make an effort to get one of
them on the House unanimous con-
sent calendar, SO that it could be
brought up next week, when ever the
opportunity offers.
The first merger bill, which was
passed by the Senate. did not carry
an excess profits tax provision. and
it was held up in the Senate by mo-
tion of Senator Jones. Washington
for a reconsideration. However, in a
conference with Representative Focht
and Representative Zihlman OF Mary
land, Senator Jones agreed to with
draw his motion and permit the bill
to go TO the House, with the under
standing that the excess profits pro-
vision would be put in it. Later, the
Senate passed the other merger bill,
containing the excess profits tax pro-
vision, and in all probability this Will
be the merger bill. which Will be
brought into the House next week
and considered under unanimous con-
sent.
Mr.. Hamilton's letter said: "If it is
the intention of the House District
committee to give at this session con-
sideration of Senate bill 9S5 (entitled
an act~to amend the provisions of an
act relating to-, certain railway cor
porations owning and operating street
railways in- the District of Columbia,
or Senate bill 1896, or any other bill
or legislation relating to the same
subject. l desire to submit that the
latter named bill. relating to the
taxing provisions contemplated in the
amendment of the Senate bill is mani
testify unfair and discriminatory
against the Capital Traction Company.
Accordingly l ask for an oppor-
tunity to be heard before any con-
clusion is reached or action taken by
your committee"
Efforts will be made next week, Mr..
Focht indicated, to have considered
by the House other bills relating to
the District, which he has had placed
on the unanimous consent calendar,
among them the teachers salary in
crease bill, the bill regulating the
sale of milk in the District of Column
bia, the bill for the making of sur
vey and plans for parkway connect
ing the old civil war forts, an en-
ployes' compensation bill and several
other measures.
