 The facts are, he said, that consumption has decreased in re- cent years from 10 to seven bush els per capita, and the export sur plus declined one-third. Yet pro- paganda has been so prolific that 3 majority of Americans are firm in the belief that the countrys sur plus is growing every year.

cents mile and 800 Ford cars in all
branches of Detroit police work averaged
20 cents a mile!
Day and night, twenty-four hours day,
these Ford cars are in operation. Few
branches of transportation demand such
grueling service. The records show that
low fuel and oil consumption is but one of
the FOrd's many economies. Ford ma
terials, simplicity of design and accuracy
in manufacturing provide unusual strength,
stamina and freedom from requirements
and repairs.
The individual car buyer as well as the

ness cannot afford to ignore the proved
economy of the Ford car.

Free from sorrow, pain, or weeping:
Earth has sealed them to her hreast.
The wings of war may threaten harm.
Passing DER their clustered he'd.
The giant te1nblor cause alarm,
Will not disturb the sleeping dead.
Consumption shall not enroll the name,
Nor barter again the chance of life,
They'll face no more the deadly flame,
Nor be disturbed by sound of strife.
Only God heard his faltering prayer,
Confusion dressed the final wounds,
The tangled barb-wire brushed his;
hair,
In the Valley of dying ruins.

Use Your Own Preference
In Home Decorations

when you live in your own home
you may chose your own color scheme,
that is one of the charms of having
a home of your own" says John Dover,
of the Dover Lumber Co. "There is
no need to put up with a wall paper
that jars on your sense of the bcauti-
full, or bathroom that looks like
something just recovering from the
jaundice.
"The charm of color is one Of LIES
little compensations that Is, if it is
the color you like If not, there is
nothing more destructive Of peace and
harmony. Human beings are extremely
sensitive to color and it is essential
that ugliness be banished If health
and happiness are to reign in your
home.
1.-THE beauty of fresh paint and cal
somine are most attractive to many
people, and fresh wall paper and a
new color in the bathroom will do
more to cheer up the family than most
anything else at the price. And to-
day you may have color even in your
hardwood floors.
1.-THE greatest joy about having your
own home is to do with 1t as you
please. So do not neglect doing it.
Enjoy today what you have been plan
ming to enjoy sometime in the future.
Color costs very little in proportion to
the pleasure it gives. For few cents
and little labor you can have much
of what you have been wishing for In
the way of brightness and beauty, by
doing your own coloring and it Is q
fascinating job, too, this making love-
illness out of ugliness."

Feed Dry Alfalfa Hay for
Properly Colored Egg Yolks

Successful poultrymen have always
fed plentiful supply of green food
in order to obtain the highest egg pro-
duction from their laying hens. Dur
ing the past few years the amount OF
green food fed has been determined by
the yolk of the egg when candled by
the egg buyer" declares j. s. Carver,
head of the State College poultry h1s-
bandry department.
"A pale yolk has been desired IN
order to supply the trade demands Of
the eastern markets. The coloring
matter contained in green foods SUCH
as lettuce, kale, lawn grass clippings,
beet tops, green alfalfa, and yellow
carrots has a decided influence on the
color Of the yolk Of the egg, and when
too large amounts Of these green foods
are fed the yolk acquires too much OF
the yellow pigment and becomes I'M
desirable from the standpoint of sales.
"vitamin A is found in these green
foods. It is necessary to have suf-
ficient amount Of vitamin A IN the
ration for poultry as that is the anti
infective vitamin which helps to main
tain health, vigor, appetite, digestion,
and prevents infection, especially OF
the respiratory system. Yellow corn
is high in Vitamin A. Wheat and its
by-products do not contain any Vita
min A. This year, when many poul-
trymen are feeding large amounts OF
wheat in place of corn in the poultry
rations, 1t is important that larger
amount of green food be fed than usu-
al in order to hold the birds in good
condition. When too much is fed it
can be checked by examining the COL
or of the yolk and slightly less
amount of green food fed.
cat the Washington agricultural eX-
pertinent station it has been found
that when birds are fed on the w. S. G
laying ration, described in bulletin 161
that dried alfalfa hay cut into three
fourths inch lengths, may be kept be-
fore them in self-feeding hoppers the
entire day without securing too large
an amount of yellow pigment in the
yolk, and at the same time offering
the birds complete protection. 1t is
important that the alfalfa used be
properly cured and well colored, as
poor hay contains very little Vitamir
A. Where green cut alfalfa can be
secured or any other of the leafy plants
such as kale OF lawn grass clippings
they should be fed as long as possible
before the alfalfa hay is used for the
flock. A good rule for the poultrymar
to follow is to feed green foods immed-
lately after noon and feed as much
as they will consume and not overl!
color the yolk.'

IT'S TOO BAD

It is too bad that obstruction tactics are being
employed by small group Of the water users Had
the pending Supreme Court appeal been out OF the
way the irrigation district would have been able
this fall to secure the necessary finances to make
needed improvements at the power plant and on
the irrigation system
Not only would these improvements have
brought added revenue to the project next year,
but it would have given employment to number
of farmers who need the money so badly during
these quiet times. In addition, it would have put
into circulation in the valley good many thou
sands of dollars.
Now that the Pacific Power & Light company
is willing to purchase excess power from the dis
trict the loss through inability Of the district to
deliver full load will be keenly felt next year.
By the expenditure of around $4,000 on the
power canal and the installation OF some new ma
chinery, the power plant would be capable of de-
veloping substantial amount of power In excess
of that needed at the pumping plant 1t con-
tract could be entered into with the Z. L. q L.
company for the purchase of this excess at no
higher figure than that named in the company's
contract with the government for the purchase OF
the excess at the Prosser power plant the district
would realize an annual income OF better than
$4,000 for power alone. This is more than the ell
tire operation charge of the system for any one OF
the last three years of the receivership.
1t is too bad that the reactionary tendencies OF
a small group can hold up the progress OF a whole
community.

High Lights in Present
Dairy Situation
By County Agent E. c. Durdle

Increased total milk production, sus-
tanned consumption of dairy products,
increasing dairy COW numbers, the low
est volume of storage butter for any
November in the last 16 years and
deficiency of dairy products in the
western states are highlights in the
current dairy situation. Favorable fac
tors Of the feed-nilk ratio and low
storage stocks are tending to obscure
the future trend of increasing COW
numbers and increasing production,
points out r. M. Turner, extension
economist, Washington State College.
Consequently, dairymen are urged to
intelligently Gull their herds during the
coming winter
Total milk production for the coun-
try is apparently five to six per cent
heavier than year ago. Pacific coast
creameries report an increase Of 7.55
per cent for the week ending November
20 over the same week last year. The
butter make is likewise showing an in
crease over last year for the country
as whole. Production from January
to September inclusive lowered one
per cent while consumption of all dairy
products was a per cent higher. Con-
sumption of dairy products for Sep
TENDER was about one per cent high
er than for the same month in 1880.
! The estimated number of COWS on
farms in the United States as COM
pared to year ago revealed SO per
cent increase on September l. The
dairymen reporting expected to have
35 per cent more COWS six months
from October l, whereas, about a year
ago, six months increase of only
20 per cent was reported. Farmers
in the western states expect to have
an increase of 3.5 per cent on April
I. 1892 the figure which was reported
last October. They likewise expect
to have an increase of 14.5 per cent
on October l., 1882. However, this
figure is usually overestimated due to
natural losses incurred.
Washington dairymen are apparent
ly raising larger proportion of young
stock than they did last year. A re-
cent survey of a large dairy county
made by the extension service, showed
that 81 head of young dairy heifers
are being raised to every 100 dairy
COWS. Ordinary replacement would be
provided by 20 head of heifers to every
100 dairy COWS.
The western states have an estimated
deficit of 116 per cent in dairy pro-
ducts according to the 1929 census, il
the average rate of dairy product con-
sumption of lit gallons per capita il
being maintained. This deficit may
be compared to that of 1924 which
was 216 per cent. Washington main.
tains a fairly close balance since esti
mates indicate only LIS per cen
deficit.
The dairy feed and butterfat ra,
tics during 1881 reached position
more favorable for dairy production
than during any period since 1921
The somewhat lower butter prices ano
higher feed prices are decreasing this
favorable margin at present. The price
of dairy feeds is not expected to &c
unusually high, according to present
data. The heavy operation of floul
mills in the Pacific Northwest will tene
to produce abundant supplies of mil
feeds

Assuming that the schol year was
nine months Of twenty days each, our
Suabian schoolmaster averaged to ex-
coed 100 cases Of corporal punishment
a day. If each case consumed one
minute of his time he must have spent
two merry hours each school day in
flogging, humping, trouncing and
pummeling his way through life. Here
a rap on the knuckles, jab on the
ears; there the assault of a thunder
bolt. A classic illustration of the dis
cipline of the old school!
Our schoolmaster believed that hab-
it's of obedience could not be had with
out fear and to secure fear physical
punishment was Imperative; that SPAR
ing the rod was spelling the child;
that original sin must be pounded out
and the catechism pounded in.
Modern education rebels at the old
theories of restraint. The rod has be-
come symbol of power. The best
disciplinarians seldom need it. Ca
pable schoolmasters rarely recommend
| it and never encourage it's use. In
Washington so few cases of corporal
punishment were returned to the
state department of education that the
question has been dropped from the
annual report form. The home, more
over, concurs with the school. Rarely
does one perceive John with flushed
face, returning meditatively from an
interview in the woodshed.
The modern school creates the right
kind of community spirit. It substi-
tutes personal and social influence for
physical restraint, deals with the will
through interest and affection, and in
spires self-discipline through work
work the pupil wants to do and that
is worth doing Not by threats, sar-
casrn or sermonizing but by interest
sympathy, encouragement and public
opinion. Children learn more quickly
and better if led to task they like
than driven to task they dislike
Boys and girls being what they are
imitators and hero Worshippers- ca
pable executives recommend teachers
in terms of character and personality
and such teachers never rely on phys
ical force. They represent a bette,
Fway. =
With no very great intellect Johr
will finally discover two tremendous
facts that will help; that punishment
comes, in a variety of ways, to grown
ups who violate the rules of the game
and that the difference in the sue
cess of two individuals is due, not 81
much to intellect or mental difference
as to character.
But even in the land of the FREE
and the home of the brave arbitrar.
physical punishment is better than an
archy.

THESE l37 new Ford cars represent one
of the largest deliveries ever made to
municipality at one time.
81 radio-equipped Ford scout cars were
traded in on this purchase. They had been
operated day and night for two years in
heavy traffic and all kinds of weather.
Their individual records ranged from
78,434 miles to l43, 723 miles with grand
total of 2,283,O97 miles. The operating
cost of the 81 cars was 1924 cents a mile
- less than 2 l/3 cents. This cost included
all fuel, oil, tires, repairs and every other
item except depreciation and insurance.
Of 577 Ford cars in Detroit City service,
the 800 in the Police Department Travelled
a total of 6,59l 1897 miles during the past
fiscal year, at an average cost of 20 cents
mile.
Many claims have been made on operat-
ing costs, but here in the carefully kept
motor car records of the City Of Detroit is
positive proof of Ford economy.
In the paragraphs above, it is seen that
Fl Ford scout cars averaged less than 2 1/3
