LAPS NEED ID EAT,
 RUSSIA HAS FISH
This Is MOOre's Explanation Of
 Treaty With Soviet

Washington, April 1c.-Japan's recent treaty with Russia doesn't mean that Nippon IS conspiring with the Soviet government to dominate the Pacific. It only means that Japan wants 10 eat.
 Al least that's the explanation given by Frederick Moore. counsel Tor to the Japanese foreign office, now in Washington,
 Japanese eat about one pound of meat per person per year" says Moore, But they eat, one pound of fish per person per day.
 "Thc big sources of Japan's fish supply arc the waters off Sakhalin Island and the Behring Sea. These are Russian waters. An under standing between Japan and Rus sia, covering the scope to he al- lowed Japanese fishermen in these areas, in order 10 guarantee a fish supply for Japan, vas the conn., polling motive behind the Japanese EQl OL luS dsI eCILIt4I''
 Friendly relations between Japan and Russia also means a closer re- ationship between Japan and Europe. By sea, the trip from Japan 10 France and England, for instance, is about six weeks, By ths Siberian Railway, this Is cut to about two weeks.
 But as foreshadowthg Jap qnsse- Russian alliance designed to dominate the Paeif1c-Japan her self would be the last to wish the development of Russia as a mari lime power. Anyone can see why"
 This man Moore, Incidentally, Is T. unique figure in official and diplo- matic Circles,
 An American by birth, citizenship 9nd allegiance he is at the same tsme an official of the Japanese gov ernnent in a sort of uper-diplo- n7stic job.
 His title is counsellor to the Japanese foreign office" His du lies, as his title indicates, are ad- visory, He is expected to keep the Japanese viewpoint straight on things American with the idea al- ways uppermost of promoting amicsba relations between Japan and the Tinted States"
 Moore graduated into his ioh after 2 score of years as news paper correspondent, stationed in the Far Tast His many years ir China and Japan for the Asso- ciated Press gave him an under. standing of the oriental slant or affairs in general that can only be acquired by long and intimate as- sociation, His knack as news paper man enabled him to see both sides of the problems that arose tc bother Japan, for instance, and h. acquired the habit of volunteering suggestions.

Washington Gains
80 Million Dollars
In Grain Values

Washignton farmers realized
$50, 600, 600 more on their corn,
wheat and oats this year than in
1923, according to reports that
the national increase in grain
values amount to $3.50, 900, 600.
Oats alone were responsible for
gain of one-half millions.
while wheat brought farmers Of
this state an added 27 millions
over last year, the report states.
While the Washington corn
crop for 1924 fell considerably
below that of the preceding year
the better price this year brot
the total income to approximate
Iy what it had been the year be-
fore. The 5 million bushel in
crease in the wheat crop this
year brought the value up to
$79, ,000,000 as compared with
$52. 100000 of 1923. The oat
crop of this state this year is up
to IA million bushels as compar-
ed to IL million the year before
with the result that farmers
will have taken in 8 million dol
lars on this crop as compared
with S 1-2 millions the year be-
fore.
The yield per acre on corn iu
Washington, the report states,
dropped to 29.4 bushels per acre
as result Of unfavorable wealth
er, but the profit per bushel to
the farmer was 73 cents as COM
pared with 49 the year before.
The wet days, on the other hand, z
were a great help to the wheat
and oats production, the former
rising to 27.2 bushels per acre as
compared with 25 the year be-
fore, and the latter to IS from 81
in 1928. The profit per bushel
OF wheat this year was 47 cents
where only 7 cents was taken
last year and a 26 cent profit in
oats for the II cent gain of the
preceding year.
The increased yield per acre of
small grain and the increased
price per bushel on all grains has
aided materially in restoring the
farmer to better financial ba.
sis, the Foundation report con-
cludes. The higher grain prices
have resulted in higher live stock
prices and this has brought a
new vitality to agriculture.

Jack Rabbit MAY
Be Poisond

In winter when snow is on the
ground should be the most effec-
tive time to kill jack-rabbits by
poison. This winter poisoning
may best be done by putting out
poison bats in stock-yards where
rabbits are feeding.
The most efficient way to get
results in winter rabbit poison
ing is by community action. A
group of farmers may get to-
gether and mix enough poison
bait for the entire community.
Then all can put out poison on
the same day. The county agent
aided by Mr.. Finlly of the U. S.
Biological Survey plans to meet
some of these farmer groups and
do some demonstration mixing
for this purpose. Alfalfa shat
terings or alfalfa cut in short
lengths will be used and each
farmer who plans to poison rab-
bits should have the material for
poisoning ready. If each farmer
has the bait ready to mix and is
ready to put it out when mixed
we should be able to cover a mum
ber of communities in short
time. This method will be many
times more efficient than indivi-
dual help.
One rabbit working on a stack
of hay can do very little damage
but hundreds or thousands will
eat up the stack. One man work.
ing against the rabbits will not
destroy many rabbits but hun
dreds of men putting out poison
will get results. We shall have
to use team work on the rabbits
the same as they use on us if We

 It sometimes seems strange to me, Leslie dear, that Fate lets me stay in this world. I'm not particu- larly lovable, and I certainly have no one who loves me very dearly now that Bee is gone. Why should Fate still give me life while it takes Bee away. leaving a child behind?
 The specialist told me this morn ing that probably Bee might have lived had he been called earlier be- fore the child was born, but it would have cost the life of the child. He supposed that Mir.

 Why, don't you love your wfe?"

Merry Little Breezes.
 The Merry Little Freezes of Old Mother West Wind came dancing across the Green Meadows to the Smiling Pool. They danced out on the Smiling Pool and made little ripples all over it. They danced this way and that way. They rumpled up the fur of Jerry Muskrat sitting on the Big Rock. They danced through the tops of the rushes and made the latter whisper together. They rocked Grandfather Frog by making little waves roll under the big, green lily-pad on which he sat.
 By and by the Merry Little Freezes danced over to the upper end of the Smiling Pool. and there they discoverd Danny Madow Mouse sitting motionless and scared half 10 death on the end of a piece of board caught in the rushes. They whirled around him and then they saw why he looked scared half to death. They saw a big fish called pickerel in the water alongside that board. That fish was nearly as long as the board. On the other side they saw the head of Snapper, the Snap ping Turtle, and then they discoN- cred on the shore, in back of Dam ny, Longlegs the Heron, standing without motion waiting for some thing good to eat to come within reach.
 "Goodness." exclaimed the Mer- " Little Freezes and vhirled away over onto the Green Meadows to talk it over. .-.
 How under the sun did Danny Meadow Mouse ever get out there 2" exclaimed one.
 II don't know how he got there, but that does not matter at all. The important thing Is, how is he going to get back where he belongs?" said another.
 There's an enemy to the left of him, enemy to the right of him, an enemy behind him. I think we really will have 10 help Danny" cried a third.
 "Of course" cried all the Merry Little Freezes together. Then they talked 1t all over between them, and when they had decided what they would do, they all raced back to the Smiling Pool and got behind Danny Meadow Mouse. Then all together
