Business to be brought I'D at this

ACCESSIBILITY of establishing a schoolboy

THE PRIMARY

In a recent speech in Boston, For
mer Senator Frederick H. Billette,
of Massachusetts, man of ripe po-
litical experience, said:
Il favored the primaries, but l
have changed my mind. l am not too
old to learn. 1t seems to me that
with the multiplicity and complex
ity of it's use and the large number
of candidates the judgment of the
people would be better registered by
the convention than by the primary
l should be glad to have as consider
that we have given the primary a
fair trial, that the results are
against us and that we should go
back to the convention" .-
Senator Gillette is not the only
student of political affairs who has
changed his mind on the value of
the primary system. The arguments
against the primary are so varied
and so obvious that it hardly seems
necessary to repeat them. First the
primary results in the breakdown of
party control, and brings a resultant
confusion similar to that in Euro
pean governments where the bloc
system prevails. This is perhaps the
greatest evil of the primary, and it
is especially injurious because of
the fact that our constitutional gov
ernment is based on the theory of
party control. The United States
can only be governed effectively
through party control, with the
present governmental machinery,
and the primary has done more
than anything else to destroy party
government in America and to put
the personality of the candidate
above principles of government and
political economy.
Again the primary is expensive. 1t
was the theory of the primary advo-
Gates in the old days before the pri-
mary was tried, that the primary
was the poor mans chance, and that
wicked" conventions always nomi-
mated for office rich politicians with
the most pull. A review of our re-
cent experiences with primaries is
not necessary to convince the aver
age reader that money is used more
lavishly in the primary than it was
ever used in conventions. This is
not saying that it is employed to
corrupt the electorate. The primary
is naturally expensive since the can
didates must attempt to reach all
the people by literature or personal
appeal
Taken all in all the primary has
outlived its usefulness if it ever
had any and it is to be hoped that
more legislatures this winter will
adopt a modified convention system
with delegates chosen by the body |
of the voters, under proper safe
guards.

Cause OF Hard Times

Since the business depression
started about a year ago millions of
people have expressed opinions as
to the cause of the trouble. So var-
led are the diagnoses of our indus
trial illness, even by EXPERTS that
there is still much mystery sabout
it. Some give it up by sayingsthat it
is lust the old business cycle still
in force-which means that things
like this happen just because they
are bound to happen. u
: But President Richard Whitney lOf.
the New York Stock Exchange pro-
nounced a judgment that certainly
appears logical and convincing. He
said: Business is today paying the
price of unsound attempts to main
tain price levels in the face of de-
creasing production costs
That agrees perfectly with Henry
Ford's expressed opinion that the
way to make good business is. to
make things cheaper, as well as bet
ter. But we are forced to ray as
much for bread today as when
wheat was more thdn twice as hlSn;
power companies charge from two
to five times as much as they should
for current; much of what we wear.
what we eat and what we use still
comes to lis at war-level prices. 1t
is a well known fact that many
manufactured articles are held at
prices that mean from 100 to 500 per
cent profit. There is a common con-
viction that if some of these big
merged manufacturers should sue
ceed in cutting the cost of produc-
tiOn in half they would still keep the
selling price at the same level-in |
fact, might possibly increase it.
Mr. Whitney is right in calling
such attempts "unsound," and it is
not surprising that business trou-
bles should result. from such an un-
healthy state.-The Pathfinder.

Watch Mice In Orchards

It is well to examine orchards
regularly in fall and spring for
signs of injury by mice. Methods OF
preventing injury by field mice in
clude removal of ground shelter,
treatment of trees with repellent
washes, use Of mechanical protec-
tors around tree basis, and destruc-
ton of mice by poisoning or trap
ping. Clean cultivation usually
eliminates mice, for it destroys both
the surface shelter and the food
supply. Mechanical protectors are
of no value against pine mice, be-
cause they attack trees below the
surface of the ground. One of the
best washes is a mixture of l part
of creosote oil to 2 or parts of
coal tar. Poisoned-grain bats, plac-
ed in wide-mouthed bottles or jars,
small drain tiles, tin cans, or bait
stations" now on the market, will
destroy most of the pests.

HUNTERS FAVOR
PAYING FARMERS
TO RAISE GAME

Subject of the warmest debate
ever seen in a session of the Ameri-
can Game Conference, the plan to
establish game as a secondary farm
crop by paying the landowner for
his active interest in wild life rails
ing. adopted as part of a national
policy by the seventeenth annual
meeting at Hotel Pennsylvania in
New York, on December l and 2, is
declared by cOnservationists to be
the most important and wide-sweep-
ing step ever taken in the history of
wild life restoration.
When put into effect by national,
state and local agencies, it will con-
stitute the first practical incentive
so far offered farmers generally to
make every countryside an ideal
habitat for useful birds and animals,
which have been rapidly disappear
ing from private lands because of
the owners lack of interest and the
despoiling of favorable wild life
shelter and food. The result of this
program will be not only far-reach-
ing preservation of game alone, but
of all useful species, the conserva-
tiOnists said.
Opposition to the policy, centered
entirely on this plan and overruled
by a heavy vote in its favor, con-
Cured in the need of a radical
change in conservation efforts, but
voiced fears that bringing farmers
into competition as game husband
men might disrupt systems already
and declared to be
well in certain states.
Aldo Leopold, chairman OF the
which worked for two |
years in preparing the policy, held |
that even if the system still prevail |
ent in most states were effective in
a game crop, it is in
ineffective in maintain
ing free public hunting on farms,
because as hunters increase, tres
pass becomes a nuisance, and post
ing follows. This has been the in
result on farm lands, the
greatest areas open for hunting.
The plan was upheld by Seth z.
Gordon, conservation director of
he Isaak Walton League, Senator
Harry Is. Hawes of Missouri, and
lther leading conservationists of the

ual experiments carried on in Mich

only the usual care given a profit
able dairy COW. Eight different su-
perVisors from Oregon State Agri-
cultural College checked her produc-
ton during the 305 days of test. On
four different occasions she yielded
more than a ton OF milk in a single
month, during her highest month
producing 2,164 pounds of milk
104.52 pounds of butterfat.
Mr. Hulburt had not officially
tested his cows for production pre-
vious to September, 1929, at which
time Golden Chiefs Lady May and
three of her stablemates were
started on test. When these four
COWS, there of which were under
years of age, finished their tests
at the end OF ten months they had
produced a total of 55,5O4 pounds
Of milk, 2,SS4.19 pounds Of butter
fat, the equivalent of 25,S15 quarts
Of milk, 3,606.4S pounds of butter.
In addition to the two world
records broken by Golden Chiefs
Lady May, this Qquartet of pure
brey Jersey cows, pending calVing,
have qualified for two Medal of
Merit, three Gold Medal and three
Silver Medal awards of the Ameri-
can Jersey Cattle Club for their out
standing performance as producers.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Hulburt give
their personal attention to their
Jersey herd which is recognized as
one of the highest producing dairy
herds in Oregon and now includes
IS COWS. Mr. Hulburt's fatherY
Alden Hulburt, and other members
OF the Hulburt family have been
Jersey breeders in Ore

BIG RIVERS UNLIKELY
TO FLOOD THIS WINTER

Residents along the banks Of the
country's largest rivers no doubt
will sleep with greater security this
winter than at any time for several
years, for the Weather Bureau of
the United States Department of
Agriculture says there is little like
lihood of foods.
The ground is drier over a large
part of the country and most of the
large streams are lower than they
have been in several decades, Mon
trOse w. Hayes, chief of the river
and flood division, says. Before any
appreciable flow of water can reach
the large streams and swell them an
unusual volume of water must be
soaked into the ground. And the
large streams can receive vast
quantities OF run-of water gradu-
ally without rising above normal
winter stages. ........,..-. -..
The watersheds of such rivers as
the Mississippi, the Ohio, the Mis-
souri,, the James, and the Savannah
can receive considerably more rain
than usual without reaching flood
stages. These rivers do not swell
perceptibly because Of. local or
short rains Smaller rivers drawing
their waters from steep mountain
sides will continue to swell quickly
after heavy local rains.
Although there is less likelihood
of floods this year, the river and
food division is buster than usual.
Low waters have given the best op-
portunity within many years to re-
roir low-water cages, which can be
reached only with difficulty when:
waters are at a normal stage.

GRASS BUILDING NEW
LAND ALONG ATLANTIC

Grasses play an important part in
building UP the very earth we live
on, says Dr. A. S. Hitchcock, of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, an example of which is the
case of beachgrass (Ammonphila
arenaria) building barrier dunes
along the north Atlantic coast of
America Beachgrass is found as
far south as Maryland.
Extensive mud fats and tidal estu-
aries on our Atlantic coast are occu-
pied by species of grass named
Spartina, which thrive in the soft
mud submerged at high tide. Their
stout underground stems form
dense lateral network, ever pushing
outward, assisting in the formation
of good dry land.
Large-scale land building has been
brought about recently in England,
France, and Holland, too, by Spar
tina, the only plant found capable of
gaining q foothold on those bottom
less muds. Spartina has been plant
ed outside the dikes of Holland. and
is building up land at rapid rate.
