FISH FARMS! WHAT NEXT ?

The utilization of swanps and
marshes for fish farming is one of
the recent developments in the fish
teries businesses Of the state, accord
ing to Dean John N. Cobb Of the
University's College of Fisheries.
There are more than thirty cont
moccial hatcheries now operating
in Washington producing bass
The prevailing price for the fish
is about seventy-five cents per pound
and the hotels and restaurants provide
a ready market.
Last year more than 100000 was
received for the fish sold Try the
fish farms and the demand was far
in excess CT the supply. There is
state license fee of SIS per year.
Very little equipment is necessary
and usually deepening OF the swamp
OF marsh is all that is required The
food is a relatively Inexpensive item
with va sous sorts Of meat as the
best type. Condemned canned SAL
occasional feed of liver and meal is de-
sireab!e.
The College of Fisheries is en-
couraging the business and offers
several courses in fish culture. A
number Of Washington graduates
Rave already entered the fish farming
BUSINESS. There is an increasing
number Of inqu; les coming to Dean
Cobb as more and more land owners
are realizing the latent opportunities
Of the swanp5 and marshes on their
land.

HOLD YOUNG FARMERS
MEETING next MONTH

What agricultural problems are
most important to the average farmer
of eastern Washington and noskerr
Idaho?
More thar 200 committee members
Of the Fourth Annual Young Farmers
conference and nearly 1000 other
farm mer and women are this
week receiving questionnaires asking
them to submit sproblerns that could
prcfitably be given attention at the
Fourth Annual Young Farmers con-
ference, to be held in Spokane January
% and 29.
No one particular theme is being
solicited for discussion at the confer
ence. In fact, tits traditional of the
Young Farmers conference that a
wide variety Of farm problems be DIS
cussed. The question Of marketing,
now live topic throughout the coun-
try, undoubtedly will be chosen by the
farmers as conspicuous subject at
this years gathering.
Again this year, sectional meetings
will be divided off, in which special
branches of agriculture such as da;r-
ing, wheat growing, home management,
poultry production, etc., can be stud
led comparatively. If attending farm
ers de2ire. discussions in the section
al meetings can begin almost where
last years work left off, after proper
SUMMARIZES are made of experiences pre-
viously learned. However, for all prac-
teal purposes, tbs years conference
in itself will be a complete unit sup
plying wealth Of self-contributed in
formation to those who participate.
There is no program" arranged, no
speeches" scheduled and no promo
ton of particular hobby permitted
by the committee Of young farinsrs in
charge.
Farmers will themselves supply the
program ana mold the action Of the
conference, just as they have done in
the three previous Young Farmers
gatherings at Spokane. Farm women
are particularly invited to participate
again this year and special plans are
bsing made to make the meeting even
more worth while for them than it
was last year.
Again the annual Young Farmers
banquet on Friday night, January 20,
will be a roLicking entertainment fea-
ture. "a large banquet room has been
secured this year to accommodate the
hundreds of farm folk who are ex.
pected at tie conference. Both the ban
quet and other activities will be held
in the Davenport hotel, which will b.
veritable "home warming" for farm
ers and their families.
There are no charges or fees of any
kind solicited at the Young Farmers
conference. The funfest dinner on
Fricay night is the only expense at
tached, except Of course, for individ
uaps personal expenditure.

EAT MORE APPLES

The lead OF the British health
department reports that the health
and longevity Of the nation is rapid
ly improving, and attributes a COZ
siderable share OF this improvement
to tie fact that the Briti5h people
are eating more fresh fruit especially
apples. Since the close of the
World war the per capita consump-
t;oa Of apples by the people of Eng
land has more than doubled. This
season to cate, twice as many app.es
rave been exported to the British
Is.es from the United States and
Canada 81 ever before. This in
dicates that the appetite of the Eng
lish people for apples is steadily in
creasing. Of al the apples ship
ped from producing points this year,
nearly 20 per cent OF them were
expcr ed, Great Britain being by
far the largest customer. The cx-
po-t trade in boxed apples is most
important factor in the deal which
should b. carefully guarded and
cultivatsd.-Wenatchee Daily Wcrld

CHRISTMAS mail IS
HEAVIEST IN HISTORY

In spite Of the cry of hard times
and the shortage OF ready money,
the Christmas mail handled this year
through the White Bluffs office is
the heaviest in its history. Rural
carrier w. s. Angle has been swamp
ed with packages. il being necessary
to make two trips daily, beginning
Monday. llot cnly was the incoming
mail unusually. large but the out
goino mail was greater than in any
previous year. Packages were mailed
TO almost every state in the union
and the Christmas cards were so
numerous that they had to be ted
into separate bundles for the
the different states. Postal eni-
kloyees "get theirs" during the holi-
days but every one has the feeling of
being Santa Claus when he remem-
ters that each packag means happl,
ness to some one and the thrill Of
that helps in measure to compensate
for the extra work.
Just about every family in White
Bluffs will have Christmas tree
I'll is year. In addition to the 100
trees that were given away by ti,e
John Dover Lumber company on
Monday, Raymond Dawson brought
in load Of $50 trees on Tuesday

the Yakima and Wenatchee districts

of the year, and it is anticipated that
there will be good turnouts at both
demonstrations.

LIGHTING AIRWAYs

1t. Alvin W. Smith of the Depart
ment of Commerce, Washington, D.
c. was in Pasco last week with H.
D. Mitchell and Thomas Garity OF
Cheyenne, Wyoming, contractors set
ting up beacon lights on the United
tates rway. Owing, to the lateness
of the season it was not found prac-
tical to set the large beacons on the
Pasco-Elko route this fall, except one
at the southern end OF theN lighted
way. This one is located on Coyote
Peak near Haines, Oregon, says the
Pasco Herald.
This beacon contains a 1000-watt
incandescent light, three and one
half million beam candle power, and
rotates six times per minute. This
light can be seen by the aviators a.
bout thirty miles on clear dark
night. 1t will show them the be-
ginning of the course.
The remainder of the distance to
Pasco will be lighted this winter with
acetylene flashing beacons, spaced four
or five miles apart. These flash
forty times per minute. They are
entirely automatic and require atten-
ClOIl dDOQG OlISC III OLA lA0AAsAio' ivy
are contro led by sunvalves which
turn them on at dark and turn them
eff at daylight. They weigh about
700 pounds each.
The large beacon on Coyote Peak
has been in operation since Satur-
day and is working successfully. The
acety,ene beacons from Haines to
Pasco were expected to be in and
wesrkirs on Thursday evening. The
route extends from Coyote Peak near
Haines, Oregon, to LaGrande, thence
across the Blue Mountains in line
with Cayuse, Adams, and Helix in
Oregon, and Alfalfa, Burbank and
T'asco, in WASHINGTON.
Mr.. Smith and TIE contractors
have b.en working on this job since
the middle of November. 1t is ex-
pected that the other large beacons
will be put up and in use before the
end of next season.
