Spring Showing Of New Farm Tools

Farmers are to be given spring
opening" showing of new farm equip
ment this year for the first time, ac-
cording to the Research Department
of the National Association of Farm
Equipment Manufacturers. So many
added, along with the standardization
and elimination program Of the manu-
facturers, that few realize that their
old plows, manure spreaders, corn
planters, dies, grain drills, barn
equipment, tractors, hay leaders, wag
are out of date. According to local
dealers, who are getting ready to at
tend advance showings at the branch
houses, many hundreds of types and
sizes were dropped with the standard
ization program of the manufacturers
inaugurated with government cooper
ations during and following the war.
Many farmers realize that hundreds
of thousands of inventions of Yankee
genius are involved in the products
Of the factory that are turned out to
save time and labor on the farm, yet
the problems of putting together the
best of these and putting them on
comparatively few machines and i'm
plements is story OF the war that
few have ever heard. The result
means that farmers of America today
have offered them by their local deal
ers the lowest priced manufactured
product on the list, and one whose

FAVORS Diversified CROPS

While wheat farmers of the State
of Washington are producing bumper
crops each year in competition with
bumper crops of other states and
countries of the world and finding
markets glutted and prices low, they
are overlooking an opportunity to
solve their problem satisfactorily and
proftably, according % George Albers,
prominent Pacific Northwest grain
miller. While the Pacific Northwest
Is the lowest market in the country
for wheat it is the highest in the world
for oats and barley, Mr.. Albers de-
clares.
Protective tariffs and other gov
ernment aids will not be permanent
or economical solution, Mr.. Albers be-
lieves. For years he has made study
of grain growing and marketing in the
Pacific Northwest and is considered
an authority on these subjects.
'The best solution of the wheat
farmers problems" said Mr.. Albers
recently, "is the growing OF less
wheat and more oats and barley.
Doesn't it seem strange that right
here on the Pacific Coast is the lowest
market for wheat in the country and
the highest market in the world for
oats and barley and yet we are ship
ping thousands of tons in here from
California and Eastern states? At the
same time wheat farmers are crying
for aid to move and market their
enormous crops.
"And Washington can grow oats
and barley profitably. This state holds
the worlds record for the production
Of oats per acre. Consider Spokane
County, for instance; in 1922 the av-
erage yield of wheat was 1876 bushels
an acre and the price at the farm
$1O4 bushel. The average yield of
barley for the state in the years 1917
to 1921 was 1913 bushels, the average
farm price was "a cents. The average
yield of oats was 40.4 bushels for the
state, the average farm price So cents.
"These figures show return per
acre about as follows: wheat, 1924;
barley, s21.6s, and oats, s23.43. While
the yield figures on wheat are for
Spokane County, the yield on barley
and oats is the average for the state,
but Spokane County should average
we'll up, although probably not quite
as high as some Of the oat counties TO
Western Washington.
Prices Are Higher
"But here is the real point: the
wheat farmers are unable to sell their
grain, the markets of the world are
glutted, while we are shipping in oats
and barley from other states. Ton
for ton, the prices of barley and oats
are higher in Pacific Coast cities than
for wheat. Oats in the East are sell
ing for around AZ cents a bushel,
where on the Pacific Coast they are
bringing 54 cents.

Street Railway Taxes

A tabulation of taxes paid and
gross annual revenues received by
113 street railway companies OF the
United States show the following:
total gross revenues, $35S, S,53O,2S0;
total taxes paid, s34,3O4,554; per-
centage Of gross taxes, 9.6. As a
very large number Of these COM
panies reported that they gave free
transportation to police, firemen. city
officials and mail carriers, 10 per
cent is probably nearer the correct
percentage. What other private bus
mess pays 10 per cent of its total
annual gross In taxes?

ers raised sufficient oats not only for
home consumption but also supplied
California and government require
ments in the Hawaiian and Philippine
Islands, which then amounted to
about 10000 tons year and now to-
tails about $4,000 tons annually. Most
Of this is shipped from Eastern states
as well as a large portion of the oats
used on the Pacific Coast. The
freight to the coast amounts to about
s11.80 a ton. Oat millers on the coast
are compelled to pay this extra
charge, which curtails manufacturing
operations here. AS result products
are shipped here from the East and
local mills are not able to compete
successfully with them.
Wheat AS a War Measure
"In years past Washington raised
several hundred thousand tons of bar
ley in the Walla Walla, Dayton and
Pomeroy sections of the state. During
the war farmers were asked to raise
wheat, and they have continued to
do so.
Last year barley was shipped into
this state from California and Mon
tana. This is an economic waste.
Washington land will grow barley
profitably and to ship it in here, pay
ing the freight rates, when our farm
ers should supply the entire market,
is not only expensive but detriment
to the farmers themselves. Before
the war Washington enjoyed the bulk
of the barley trade with the Hawaiian
Islands, which amounted to many
thousand tons a year. Now this en-
tire trade has gone to California.
Portland, Tacoma and Seattle are
drawing their supplies of barley from
California and the East.
California land on which barley Is
grown is more expensive than Wash
ington land suitable for barley, and
we can grow just as much if not more
per acre in Eastern Washington than
California can. Barley from Califor-
MIA takes freight rate of 81 to SIS
ton and from Dakota and other
Eastern states the rate is $11.80 ton.
At least 10000 tons of barley came
here from California and other states
last year.
$50 it seems to me that Washing
ton farmers are overlooking profit
able opportunity in not raising more
oats and barley and cutting down on
the wheat acreage, wherever the land
is adapted to oats and barley"

SHOCKING CONDITIONS
 IN NY. DANCE HALLS
Places of "Barbary Coast" Type Flourishing, Social
 Worker Reports

New York, Mar. 1.-Dance halls which formerly flourished on San Francisco's notorious Barbary coast have invaded New Iork's east side, 10 most of which only men are ad- mitted. most of them socially unde- sirablc' orientals, according to re- port being considered today by city officials.
 Tho report, submitted by Mrs. Henry Moskowitz, q social worker, makes known the results of a four months survey by committee of eX- perts of the city's dance halls. Twenty per cent of the dancing places, many of which are Of the closed" type, re- Nealed amazing conditions of immor- ality, the report said.
 There are 2i East Side dance halls of the type imported from the Bar bary coast, which San Francisco of ticials closed in 1917. Here young girls are employed as dance partners, being paid four cents dance.
 Discussing the dance hall situation in general the report says:
 "fhH boys and girls of our colleges are as much responsible for condi- lions in our dance halls as any other group. The dance halls adopt dances originating at Harvard or Amherst. They are degraded all the way down until they are finally very different"
