GRAIN ORGANIZATION
HANDLED 100000 Blu. WHEAT

This organization has handled
approximately 100000 bushels of
the 1880 wheat crop so far this sea-
son. 1t was estimated at the begin
ming of the season that this organ
ization would handle between %
and 80 million bushels of wheat,
and if the proportion holds up for.
the remainder of the season, the
volume will be reached and poss-
ible exceed, thus making this or
ganization the biggest operating
in the field.
Of the above amount approx
mateely two and one-half million
bushels have been handled on loans
made at a lower rate of interest
than has ever been obtainable be-
fore, thus enabling the grower to
settle his current obligations and
continue to carry his wheat if he
so desires.
The market for the season has
been cratic, but in spite of this the
local managers report general sat-
isfaction as far as operations are
concerned. This indicates that MEM
bers are loyal to, and satisfied with
their organization, which is essen
tial to, and assures its success. 1t
is estimated that the United States
will produce approximately 1885,
100000 bushels of wheat this sea-
son and Western Canada approx
imate1y 362, 100000 bushels. The
carry over of wheat in the United
States as of July LIST, 1880, was APP
proximately 275,000,000 bushels,
or practically one-third of the 1890
crop. The North Pacific Grain
Growers is doing their part to help
bring an orderly marketing of this
surplus, and that farmers may re-
ceive as much as possible from
their holdings.
The marketing contract between
the locals and their members con-
tains the following provisions:
Withdrawal privilege.
The option to deliver and sell
wheat on the days market.
The option to deliver wheat and
sell at some future date to be de-
termined by the member.
The option to pool wheat and to
take the average price.

PROLAPSUS AND CANNI
BALISM DISCUSSED

The following is a brief digest OF
a bulletin just received by L. w
Cassel of the main station at Pull
man. AS soon as copies of this bull
letin are received one copy will dc
mailed to poultrymen on the mail
ing list. Poultrymen not receiving
copy may write to the county
agent for one.
Probably two leading causes OF
Prolapsus is an inherent weakness
in the strain and forcing of young
birds to early for production. No
pullet should be placed in the hen
or laying house until they have
reached the age of five months and
are of standard weight.
Feeding five pounds of green
feed to every hundred hens and if
possible milk in some form will
have a tendency to overcome con-
stipation, which is sometimes a
contributing factor. Range for the
birds will he found helpful.
The use of two much corn may
be a contributing cause. The lay
ing ration for pullets should con-
tain not over fifty-percent of yell
low corn. The rations should also
contain plenty of minerals. If the
birds do not have access to direct
sunlight, mix into the mash two
percent of fresh tested cod-liver
oil.
A remedy is to wash protruding
parts with cold water containing
any common disinfectant and re-
place the organ and place bird in
comfortable clean. coop by itself
and feed only a grain ration. The
safest proceeding is upon recovery
to sell the bird for meat.
Contributing causes for cannab-
ism are prolapsus and rapid mott
ing of old hens in the pen and a
lack of sufficient animal protein
in the ration. Dark nests should De
provided. Be sure the birds have
plenty of floor space, at least three
square feet per bird for Leghorns.
The use of runs will also help. A
good laying mash should contain
approximately twenty percent of
protein made up of combination of
meat, fish products or milk. For
minerals see-that the laying birds
have plenty of green food and that
the mash contains two percent of
ground bone meal, two percent of
oyster shell and about one percent
comon salt For the birds at. all
times there should he hen-grit.
Allow two ten-foot W.S.C. open
hoppers for every $50 hens.
Emergency measures which
sometimes give results is locating
the ring leader and removing Is
of an inch from the upper beak;
hopper feeding from animal pro-
TEN such as meat scrap or fresh
meat or liver; suspending green
feed or small strips of meat over
the heads of the birds so that they
will have to exercise in order TO
get it.

WAR MOTHERS
GREETED BY
GERMANS
Herr GessIer and Veterans
Quick to Sympathize With
Visitors to Historic Field
By FREDERICK W. ABBOTT

BY EhEDEh1Ch w. AbbOIT
THIAUCOURT. France, May
% Q.N.S).-A true-life scene, pal
ing to insignificance the bombas.
tic dramatics of postwar novels
and plays, was enacted here to-
day when % American Gold Star
Mothers, in France to pay last
tribute to their hero sons, met
a group Of war-scarred German
officers at the gates Of st. Mihiel
Cemetery.
The German veterans, headed
by former Minister of War Otto
Gessler, were visiting the ceme-
terry to study ways and means
Of improving the last resting
places of German soldiers who
went to their death on frances
battlefields.
Herr GeSsler and his party had
just finished a tour of the Amer
ican cemetery when the Gold
Star Mothers arrived at the gates
in motor bus. Instantly the
former war minister and his eight
companions, all Of them veterans
of many conflicts, snapped rig
idly to attention, clicking their
heels together in Prussian fashion.
Salute and Bow
First they saluted, and then
removed their hats and bowed
in a gesture Of profound respect
for the bereaved American
mothers.
At first, the pilgrims mistook
the Germans for local reception
committee, and bowed in return,
smiling cordially. When in
formed of Herr Gessler's identity,
and told that his eight COM
panions led enemy troops through
the narrowing year of the war,
there were exclamations of
surprise.
Said Mrs. Lottie Cummings, of
Boston:
"It seems impossible "that
kindly grey-haired gentleman
was once a German war
minister"
But the war fever had passed,
even from the minds of these
women whose sons had been torn
from them on the Shambles Of
Frances battlefields, and the
German officers were quick to
sympathize with the mothers and
compliment them on their forti-
tude in visiting this scene Of
wholesale tragedy.

END Of TARIFF
WAR IS NEAR

The end of the tariff wars, that
have ragged in Congress for the
last l6 months, was in sight to-
day as House and Senate con-
ferees sought a compromise on
the much disputed flexible tariff
clause.
President Hoover will retain
his power of changing tariff
duties, upon recommendations
from the tariff commission, but
probably in a form somewhat
different from existing law.
The conferees meanwhile had
killed the export debenture Llan
of farm relief, which the Senate
placed in the bill.
The bitter controversy over
tariff on soft-wood lumber was
settled by compromise that will
place a duty of 81 per thousand
feet on fir, spruce, pine. hem
lock and larch, sawed lumber
and timber. The. conferees.
though, eliminated railroad ties
and telephone, telegraph and troll
ley poles from the duty, restoring
them to the free list.
The duty of 80 cents an ounce
on silver was stricken from the
bill. The Blease amendment,
which would have admitted
cement free of duty for use in
construction of public buildings
was abandoned.
The tariff commission will be
composed of six members, as at
present, with not more than three
to be appointed from one party.
Their terms were fixed at six
years.
The conferees met again this
morning, hoping to iron out the
flexible controversy.
The DemoCratic-Insurgent coal1-
ton will make a final desperate
effort to defeat the bill. The Ad-
ministration will have its worries
corralling sufficient votes to pass
the bill in the Senate. but it will
be an easy task in the House.
The bill, if it passes the Sen
ate, will go to the White House
for the Presidents approval
within ten days. While Mr..
Hoover has been silent on the
subject, he is confidently expected
to sign the bill.

Mahatma Writes From Prison
That His Health Is Good
and His Keepers Are Kind

LONDON. May % GN.S0.-
The mounting toll of injured
grew in India today when police
at the Wadala salt deposits
fought off Nationalist volunteers
who attempted raids on the pans
there, according to an Exchange
Telegraph dispatch from Bonn
bay.
Many of the raiders were
bruised and beaten and 108 were
arrested as police welded their
clubs upon them. Wadala is
suburb of Bombay.
600 Injured at DharaSana
Through the night and early
hours of the day, the large body
of raiders at the Dharasana salt
pans Continued to harasS police,
and in two major clashes more
than 600 raiders we're reported
to have been injured.
It was understood that the Ma
tionaliSt volunteers, operating
from their camp at Utandi, en-
ployed passive but firm tactics
in their efforts to outwit police
guards and reach the salt de-
posits.
Police were using their clubs,
feet and fists-heavier weapons
were not used, according to dis
patches.
Elected from Camp
Police forcibly elected Indian
Nationalist salt raiders from their
camp at Untadi today after
leaders in the camp refused to
heed a warning to evacuate.
The Untadi camp is central
point near Dharasana where the
volunteer raiders have assembled
before launching the several sue
ceSsive raids of the past few days
on the Dharasana salt pans.
All strategic points leading to
Untadi and DharaSana were pa
trolled today by Sikh troops.
Reinsurance to his anxious fol
lowers was contained today IN
a letter from Mahatma Gaudhi,
Indian Nationalist leader, held in
military Sanitarium near Poona.
Gandhi wrote:
"My health is all right. 1
