milk seems to nave decreased.
Inevitable results of conditions
such as the foregoing is that the
prices have not only failed to re-
cover from the low level which
prevailed in December, but in some
cases have gone lower. There was,
of course, a recent increase in
prices on the Pacific coast. While
returns from the sale of milk and
cream are low, this is time when
the relative profitableness Of dairy
ing, compared with other farm en-
terprises is the factor which will
largely influence production trends
but with better adjustment Of
production and consumption should
come a more favorable price situ-
alton.
Sheep
The 1881 outlook for sheep and
wool does not differ from that Of
basic agricultural productions. All
seem to be linked inseparably with
the trend and developments in
business and industrial activities.
All of these combined have been
down to distressingly low levels for
several months. The fact that

OUTLOOK INFORMATION
Dairy

An outlook sheet from Washing
ton, DC. has just been received
which contains information which
we feel will be of interest to dairy
farmers. We are sorry that we
cannot print this article but it is
too lengthy and shall try to give
the essential points in the article.
Creamery butter production for
December was 100000, 900 pounds,
a record for December. This was
probably due to the mild winter
plus an attempt of farmers to at
least secure a cash income which
the dairy offers. With such sit
uation prevailing and consumption
below normal, stocks of dairy pro-
ducts remain heavy. Butter in stor-
age on January LIST amounted to
5000, 900 pounds, some 100000
pounds below last years stock
but almost IL, 900 900 pounds above
the five year average. More or
less the same situation is true for
cheese and canned milk. Consump-
ton of all products except canned

THE FARM MARKETING
PROGRAM

There is only one way to deter
mine what are the fertilizer needs
of a crop growing on a certain
soil. That is, to test this out with
a series of fertilizer plots carry
ing one element alone to the plot
and with all possible combinations
of nitrogen, phosphates and pot
ash. This has been done by the
Experiment station at Prosser and
in several instances have been car
ried out by farmers under the di-
rection of the extension service
here in the county. The results of
these plots to date show that nj
trogen is the first element needed,
and that on our older soils phos-
pilates are apt to be lacking, but
as yet no need for potash, that is,
to the point where the increase in
returns would begin to pay for its
application, has been found.
Many of the commercial fertil-
izers sold in the county are de-
cidedly low in nitrogen Or decided
~ high in phosphate and potash.
which ever way one wishes to look
at it. If one is going to use the
average so-called complete ferti-
lizers sold in the county, one should
use probably not to exceed one
thousand pounds per acre and then
increase the amount Of nitrogen
applied by the use of 200 to $50
pounds of amonium sulphate to
the acre. 1t is probable that the
application of 1000 pounds of the
complete one year in two and pos
sibly three would be enough to
supply the other elements other
than nitrogen and that the other
one or two years nitrogen alone
could be added. This should be a
fairly economical program, re-
membering, of course, as we show
ed at the horticultural schools held
the latter part of January, that
the fertility can be purchased for
two-thirds of their cost in the
complete fertilizer on the market.
Mr.. Singleton, superintendent of
the Irrigation Branch Experiment
station at Prosser, states that they
! have gotten best returns when
they applied up to 100 pounds of
nitrogen per acre which would re
quire 600 pounds of amonium sui
plate or 1000 of 3-10-7. One, OF
course, would need to consider crop
that had been put into the soil. If
sweet clover crop had been turn
ed down or alfalfa plowed under
one would not need to apply the
nitrogen in such quantities as
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1931-02-12

given above as these crops would
be adding a considerable nitrogen
to the soil.
The measure of the amount of
nitrogen to use is the measure of
plant growth made by the plant.
With trees six to ten inches of
growth is the measure OF pro-
perly pruned tree as to whether
enough plant food is being pro-
vided. With asparagus it would be
the color and top growth following
the cutting season. With crops like
strawberries it is sufficient leaf
growth with good color, and so or
with other crops.
At this time when farmers need
to check carefully, items of ex-
pense, a careful study should oe
made by every grower of his fer
tilizer problem. A grower asked
US recently how much 3-10-7 should
be applied to an asparagus patch
and asked whether 1000 pounds
would be enough. Our reply wa
that according to Mr.. Singleton's
statement the field should have q
4000-pound application and this
woulud have cost him $4,000. The
! same nitrogen content could have
been met by the application of SOC
pounds of sulphate of amonia
which would have cost him $500
This is an extreme case, but many
real economies will be found to DC
possible if one will follow the above
suggestions and we are sure thai
just as good returns will be Sc
cured. In the above case at ieast
the application of another S15.Gt
worth of fertilizer in the form o.
superphosphates and sulphatA
potash would have guaranteed a.
good return as the S94 worth o.

as though this year the only pos

prices have been so low has raised
the hopes of many that any change
must be upward, and the best in-
formation available points to some
improvement during the later half
of this year. There is nothing IN
the situation, however, to indicate
a return of conditions in the next
few years to the high levels of
1928 and 1929.
Sheep in the United States have
increased about 43 percent since
1922 with the largest number on
hand January LIST for that date in
the history of the country. The
number on feed January LIST were
some three-quarters of a million
head less than January 1, 1880.
A study of the breeding flock
situation, however, shows that with
the mild winter that with normal
situations there would be an in
crease of million and a half
head in this years lamb crop over
that of 1880.
The information an dairy and
sheep outlook may be little diff
ferent than for other commodities
since these two enterprises seem to
be on especially high plane of
production from an increase in the
holdings. The general agricultural
situation, however, is not too
bright. A study Of world agricul-
tural conditions shows that every
civilized country in the world is do
ing its utmost to produce its own
food supply and can do this eco
nomically now due to many read
justments during the last thirty
years. There was a marked tend
ency for European nations to come
to program of home production
even as early as 1900, and follow
ing the World War this was rapid
I ly speeded up. This leaves this
country then largely facing the sit
uation of consuming what we pro-
duce, or as far as the farmer is
concerned, producing what our
country consumes.
To attempt to say what the pro-
gram on any individual farm
should be is difficult one. Many
are following an intensive system
of production, producing more per
acre or more per animal unit.
those being able to compete with
neighbors and other regions where
they do not and often cannot pro-
duce as economically. If this same
scheme were carried out by every
one at the same time one can
quickly see what the situation
would be. However, eventually the
farms and regions which cannot
produce as economically as can
the others as we see it, will drop
out of the picture and until that
time does come, agriculture will
not have bright future. Read

to bed until late. and viii md II ex-
pedient to sleep late as a consequence
Hence there arises a world Of conflict
between groups of human beings, some
of whom want to go to bed with the
chickens" and others Of whom want to
stay wide-awake until long past mid
night, making "whoopee," as they say.
1t will be realized that there Is no
reconciling these two classes of human
beings, unless the morning sleepers"
are willing to concede the rights Of the
evening sleepers" TO their rest. The
question is further complicated by the
roar Of the city, the presence Of bright
lights, interesting entertainments, and
the radio, which brings pep" and mu-
steal speed into the home at the precise
time when Nature calls upon evening
sleepers" to seek their daily repose.
This rev information is valuable. II

morning sleep group an opportur ty to
constructed alike in habits of sleep
more than In other physical matters.
and that the evening sleepers are not
necessarily old slow pokes, behind the
times and dead to the world" just be-
cause they go to bed early.
Nor, on the other hand, will these
early sleepers be able to say henceforth,
as some of them may have been tempt
ed to do hitherto, that Benjamin
Franklin's maxim invariably fits all
mankind. There are many people, it
is seen, for whom early to bed" will
not result in either wisdom or wealth.
The best thing that can come from
such studies Is new tolerance on the

will permit every human being to live
as he pleases so long as he annoys no
other human being or violates the rights
of man as set forth in the great funda-

Execution of Burke
Urged as Beneficial
From the Morsantown Dominion-News.

FROM the MorgantoWn Dominion-News
"Ganglands most dangerous killer"
Fred Burke, will stand trial In Michigan
for murder. If convicted, he probably
will draw the maximum penalty per-
Missile under Michigan law, life
sentence.
Burke was wanted by Chicago au-
thorities as the man who lined I'D
seven gangsters against a brick wall
and shot them down. This crime was
laid at his door when ballistic experts
determined that the bullets which killed
the seven men were fired from a gun
found in Burkes Chicago quarters.
1t is too bad that Chicago police did
not get the first crack at Burke. A
conviction there would mean the death
penalty, fate that this confirmed kill
er richly deserves. Society in general
would be better off If he were removed
from the scene. Burke is clearly a SUI
perior type mentally He is in the kill
ing business through choice. and not
because OF any mental defect.
Another reason to regret the fact that
he will not be tried in Chicago is that
the infallible testimony of bailistic ex-
perts would be used against him. Per-
haps these experts will have little OPP
portunity in the near future to assist
in the investigation of crime. Criminals.
though they may be mentally defective,
as opponents OF capital punishment
would have us believe. are nevertheless
in many instances mighty clever people.
A gang Staying in Chicago recently
revealed the fact that some gunner are
now using steel bullets similar to ball
bearings, bullets so hard that they
show not the slightest trace of the
rifing Of the guns from which they
are projected. What chance has a
baliiStlc expert accustomed to dealing
with lead and alloy bullets. against a
practice such as this?
Intelligent criminals have devised
means to get away from leaving tell
tale hngerprlnts. 1t was inevitable that
they should in the end find some way
of circumvsnting the ballistic experts,
whose findings were just as infallible
as those OF the flngerprint exre t.. Such

Mayor Walker Defense Fails
To Convince Public as Whole

I'm handling the charges Of the Civic

more Sun, Mayor Walker had some
thing of a 'set-up.' The earnestneSs
with which they were drawn was pretty
we'll matched by their looseness, and
the mayor had chance to cut them up
badly by appealing to the detailed rec
ord at his disposal This he seems to
have done pretty effectively. though, of
course, no Judgment on the state of
municipal affairs in New York is VEN
tured here on the basis of a necessarily
cursory examination of his handiwork.
That can much more safely await the
results Of the legislative Investigations
now in progress. But In meeting the
charges CT the Civic Affairs Committee

parently uncomfortable penchant for a
species of wise-cracking seems to us to
have taken much of the edge of his
work"
The attack on him, he implies" as

lis camouf1age for a wide attack on
all capitalistic institutions, political and

hurry up and come to his defense or

Even the State Department had TO back
out of its absurd intimation that the

Dangerous DisnlaYS.

Little praise can be accorded the
school officials of Cincinnati for their
stupid action in permitting wild ami
mails to be taken into q school room
for lecture purposes. The incident
happened a few days ago. A lion and
two bears we're taken to class room
A child of six years was inspecting
the lion which was held by leash at
taChed to q radiator. Suddenly the
animal sprang and before 1t could be
subdued it inflicted serious injuries on
the little girl.
The school room Is no place for
dangerous beasts. If children must be
taught about animals the zoo is the
suitable place for lectures. Proper pro-
lection for the youngsters can be af-
forded there. The senseless and danger
Gus performance in Cincinnati well
deserves the nationwide condemnation
that has been given it.
