HARL1NGEN, July 10.-The cam
paign to eliminate johnson grass in

by the decision Of the Harrington
Chamber Of Commerce to back to
the limit an educational drive TO

menace.
Similar action has been taken in
San Benito as the result OF the
Brownsville Chamber Of Commerce
of united support Of efforts to ell
inmate johnson grass from Cam

Strenuous efforts will be made to
clean out canals. for it is contended

other method Of getting rid Of it.

SMOKING NOT PERMITTED IN
NATIONAL FORESTS

Smoking on national forests of the
Pacific Northwest is subject to a new
regulation this year, 1T is announced
by regional forester G. j. Buck, Port
land, Oregon
Under the new regulation which be-
came effective July l, all national
forest lands Of Oregon and Washing
ton are closed to smoking while
travelling in timber, brush or grass
areas, except on paved and surfaced
highways" This means, according to
Mr.. Buck, that if forest visitor
wishes to smoke 1t will be necessary to
stop while smoking and put out all
lighted material before continuing. Ac-
cording to the records of the forest
service, many fires are started every
year by campers, hunters, and fisher
men travelling along forest roads and
carelessly tossing aside lighted cigar
cites, cigars or matches.
at is not our desire, said Mr.. Buck,
"to interfere unduly with the enjoy
ment of our forest visitors. At the
same time, we must recognize that our
first duty is tine protection of the
forested areas entrusted to our care.
Therefore, instead Of prohibiting
smoking altogether, we are making the
very reasonable requirement that the
smoker shall step while smoking). If
the public enters heartily into the
spirit of the new regulation, we hope
that more drastic restrictions will not
be necessary
The regional forester also pointed
out that anyone who throws away
lighted material on forest land, or who
actually starts fire in forest material
by carelessness with matches, tobacco
campfires, or otherwise, becomes liable
to prosecution under the state fores!
fire laws. This should be particularly
borne in mind by travellers along such
roads as the Columbia River Highway
and Mt. Hood loop, where smoking is
not prohibited under the forest service
closure.
The closing order issued is based or
the smokers code" advocated by the
forest service and cooperating agencies
which has been given wide publicity
during the past two years. It is de-
signed to make legal and put effective
teeth" into this code, according to Mr.
Buck.

Notwithstanding these reports OF

emphasizing that they indicate no Sc
curity. They point out that some OF
the worst seasons have followed rain

LITTLE RAINFALL THIS SEASON
MAY MEAN GREAT FIRES IN
FORESTS, rs WARNING

Portland, Ore.-Mid-July finds Pa
cific Coast forest fire conditions that
are unusual and puzzling, according to
bulletins from private, state and feder-
al protective agencies to their clearing
house, the Western Forestry and Con-
servation Association.
Comparatively cool dull weather,
without excessive wind or low humidity,
has continued abnormally late. Few
seasons in history have had so little
fire up to this time. On the other
hand, rainfall has also been much be-
low normal in most regions and the
forests are dry. The first bad fire
weather will bring critical conditions
almost instantly. without the usual
warning experiences to incite the
public to care with fire In every form.
Idaho has had only 81 fires reported
on national forests and 80 on state
and private lands, with losses neglig-
ible. Smokers and campers lead as
causes. Montana reports 955 national
forest fires and 20 others, damaging
less than 1000 acres and practically no
mature timber. Oregon and Washing
ton have had no seriou5 fires, damage
being considerably less than at this
time last year. California national
forests report 238 fires, mostly on grass
and brush lands, with far less damage
than last year. A telegram from the
U. S. Regional Forester at Ogden says
the lntermountain district has had
only 81 fires and negligible loss, bu|
conditions are dry and dangerous.

Cotton Bagging fer Cotton

With cotton picking time just around the corner
for the entire Valley, agitation has been started in
some quarters FOR the establishment OF plants to util-
lie the surplus Of both good and bad grades. which
IS bound to result.
Down here where the average crop Of cotton totals
around 100000 bales annually there should be cotton
mills and rayon plants and, perhaps even more inn
portant, q factory for turning out bagging made out
OF cotton.
Recent experiments carried on by the U. s Depart
men OF Agriculture have shown conclusively that the
most satisfactory bagging can Re made from cotton.
It has been demonstrated that il is cheaper and more
durable than sacks made from lutte. the produc, most
generally used. Best Of all the use Of cotton for bag
ging is a splendid way in which 70 take care Of the
surplus Of low grades.
Another factor which should cause the Valley to
attract cotton goods and bagging factories is that
the tariff bill has placed a duty on Iute which will
make cotton bagging more economical. The rates on
cotton goods will do away with danger Of much foreign
competition.
Lower grade cotton is being used extensively in the
manufacture Of rayon, a product which now is vieing
with silk for popularity. There is no reason why
there should not be rayon plants in the Valley. turn
ing out bolts Of this material and converting it into
underwear. dresses, socks. etc.
With cheaper transportation bound TO come 70 the
Valley, the time is at hand when strenuous efforts
should be made by the proper organizations and in
dividuals to "seIl" the country on the industrial posi-
bihties.
The rapidly growing population Of this section will
itself, furnish a rapidly growing market and the trans
portation facilities TO Latin America by water and air
win open up a vast and attractive trade territory
which ought to attract industrialists Of many trades.

well" said Elmer TwitcheIl, u see that the tariff
bill takes golf tees off the free list and puts a duty
on EN-. This makes America safe for the ten-for-a-
quarter golf tee manufacturer and blights any hope
on the part Of a golfer that he might get a break IN
the matter Of golfing costs.
IF there is any business in the United States that
is sitting pretty it is the golf tee industry. Boy, there's
a game where there's plenty Of profit" continued
Elmer.
you may think shingles. fence-posts and pickets
are expensive but You have no idea what high prices
can be obtained for lumber until you buy wooden
tees. The manufacturers get twenty-five cents a box
for them and they average about twelve to the ooxl
THAT much money for that much lumber would
cause a public uprising in any other field Of endeayor
or sport. but the golf fanatic planks down his quar-
ter and takes his two cents worth OF tees without a
protest.
"CeIluloid tees cost a little more. The last box I
bought ran about three cents per tee, which is more
money than celluloid can produce in any other form
known 10 science.
And now Congress is giving the native tee-maker
protection from any competition that might force him
to give honest weight. i wouldn't be surprised If we
had to pay a nickle apiece for golf tees by midsummer.
Even today you Will find as many golfers looking
around for lost tees as you find looking for lost
balls. AS a result Of this new tariff 7 am thinking Of
using reprinted golf tees from now on.
4 know Of no item in the Hawley-Smoot bill that
will be more resented by the golfers Of America. It
may even cost the Republican party the golf links
vote. which is getting bigger and bigger in this coun-
try.
I'll say this for the Democrats concluded Mr..
Twitcrell, They have made many mistakes, but they
never for a minute got It into their heads that the
manufacturer Of wooden tees wasn't being properly
protected against loss in this country today"
