WOrkmen's Compensation
"Obedient to the mandates of
the Billings convention, your ex-
ecutive board held two meetings
in Helena, with representatives of
the trades and labor councils and
meetings resulted in the drafting
the United Mine Workers. These
meetings resulted in the drafting
of amendments to the present
wOrkmen's compensation act. An
effort is being made at present to
secure sufficient signatures of
registered voters to place the same
on the ballot at the Forthcoming
election.
Whether we will be successful
in initiating our measures will not
be known until all petitions have
been filed with the secretary OF
state.
Unemployment
'The problem of unemployment
has hit America as well as the
rest of the world and has become
a menace to our civilization.
while all kinds of reasons are
advanced for the causes of unem-
ployment, the student of econom-
les knows positively that we have
entered the machine age. Conse-
quently improved machinery is to
blame for much of the curtailment
of labor. As machinery becomes
more and more perfect there will
be less necessity for manual labor
to produce the necessities and
comforts of life. We will be able
to produce more and more with
less and less effort. What to dn
with those thrown cur of work,
with the advance of the machine.
Is OF grave concern TO us all.

WEED KILLING DEMONSTRATIONS
HELD IN FIVE COMMUNITIES

Weed killing demonstrations in the
application of sodium chlorate and
patented weed killers have been held
in the Duvall, Carnation, Issaquah,
Snoqualmie, and Vashon communities
curing the past two weeks with fair at
tendance by intreseted farmers.
In each of these demonstrations at
least one square rod of Canada Thistle
or other noxious weeds are treated with
sodium chlorate and with one or more
patented weed killers. Latest informa-
ton on the efficiency of these chemic-
ais and details as to method of applica-
ton and results obtained are given at
each demonstration. The definite ulti-
mate results of the application of these
materials at this time cannot be de-
termined until the following season and
each of these demonstration plots will
be watched by interested parties for
their guidance in the use of these
chemicals in 1881.
Plots of weeds which were treated
by w. W. Henry, County Agent in 1929,
show that from 95T to 99% of the
weeds were killed. Further treatment
of the few struggling weeds remaining
this season will completely eliminate
the pest.
Other demonstrations in weed killing
will be given in other communities
wherever five or more farmers or others
are sufficiently interested to make re-
quest of A. E. Lovett, County Agent,
