Careful studies Of food subs tances
and their effects upon the human
body, however, have taught US that
there are few substances that con-

fuel foods necessary to meet our
needs.
If. for instance, you cat enough
beef TO satisfy the protein needs OF
the body and eat nothing else. you
will have an insufficient supply Of
fuel. II YOU eat enough beef to sup

Secretary Of Commences

Of the Chamber of Commerce, de.
declared that farm products are now
enjoying a greater stability than ever
BEFORE"
Agriculture is not discouraged"
Mr.. Hoover said. "The expansion in
farm acreage in the United States is
not in keeping with the growth in
population, and consumers are multi
plying faster than producers"
Discussing the problems of the
American farmer, he urged the bust
ness man to aid the planter, adding
that he believed agriculture is bet
ter town builder than industry"
The recruiting ground for the fu-
ture leaders of the United States will
be on the farms rather than in the
factories, he said.
IT have n economic patent medi-
cine to cure all the ills of the farmer"
he said ut is hard to analyze the
problem of the farmer. We have these
periodic crises in our economic life
due to some sudden cause and 1t is
these causes that we must remove OF
migrate"
Fifteen years ago, Mr.. Hoover said
the farmers troubles revolved about
the banking interests "due to certain
mismanagement," but, he stated, "ouI
Federal Reserve Bank has done much
to mitigate the banking trouble"
AS a means of aiding the farmer In
solving his present problems, Score
tary Hoover suggested cutting down
the "eight hundred million dollars
worth of farm produces imported into

tariff and systematic and efficient
marketing of farm products.

Canada and Mexico Lead
in Number Immigrants

NEW YORK.-During the first six
months Of operation Of the new immi-
grafton law, Mexico and Canada pro-
vided by far the greater part of the
total net immigration to the United
States and these countries now are
the chief sources of the foreign labor
supply for the United States, the Ma
tional Industrial Conference Board
announces. The board had made an
analysis of immigration from July l,
1924, when the new law became effec-
tive, until January 1, 1925.
During the same period, there was
IAN enormous rate Of return of immi-
grants" fro mthe United States to
Europe. A total of 1874 aliens ar.
rived from the Eastern Hemisphere
and 59,916 returned. At the same
time SS,94S aliens came from the
Western Hemisphere principally
Canada and Mexico-and only 6,S98
returned.
The net permanent increase in the
through immigration during the first
six months of the new law was 1884,
S75, compared with 483,719 for the
corresponding months Of 1928, a de-
crease of 1873 per cent. OF this net
immigration, 22,S25 came from the
Eastern notwithstanding prin-
cipally Europe-and $1,000 came from
the Western Hemisphere.
Total immigration during the period
was 16S,6S9, against 533,471 for the
corresponding period of the previous
year, or a decrease Of 6S.3 per cent.

creased I'll per cent and new world

June 16, II, 1S and 10 have been
set as the dates for the Sixth Annual
National Sportsmen's and Tourists
Fair to be held in Spokane. This big
annual event which has attracted ma
tional attention promises this year to

Reports from Spokane are that entries

play than was installed year ago.
The Sportsmen's and Tourists Fair

display their wares for attracting the
tourists with the dollars to spend.
Last year $4,000 people witnessed
this show and it is expected this year
the attendance will surpass the 100,-
900 mark.
In connection with this years show
the Spokane Chamber Of Commerce,
which created and sponsors the Fair,
has called the first Pacific Northwest
Out-door-Life conference. Delegates
from tn four northwestern states and
from British Columbia have been in
vited to meet at Spokane, June II, to

that with underproduction, the profit
margin must of necessity increase.
"The population is increasing 49,
100000 every decade and farm pro-

the nations food" said Mr.. Hoover,
advocating increased production as a
means of cutting down the heavy i'm

"The American farmer also needs
a protective tariff to protect him from

Dogwood Gets Name
From Old-Time Use

Not from any canine relationship

the University Of Washington.
Years ago when meat was roasted
over an open fire, sticks of wood,
called daggers, were put in the meat
to keep it from falling apart when
done. A hard wood was needed to
withstand the heat of the firt, and
dagger" wood, now known as dog.
wood, was used.
Later, dagger wood was called
Haywood, for short. Finally, be-
cause of its similarity in sound and
in writing to dog" 1t became known
as dogwood.
