The law of supply and demand, which has
governed business, is just controlling over
farm products and the Federal experts are
bending every effort to place before the far
mers of the country complete data on market
prospects, and, where an overproduction is indi-
Gated, to warn farmers to curtail acreage by
whatever per cent seems advisable.
Business and manufacturing interests are
served in this same manner by the Department
of Commerce and much has been accomplished
to keep production somewhere within bounds.
1t has been more difficult to convince the agri-
culturists, but through the development Of CO.
operative organizations, the instructive work
carried on through extension experts, and crop
prospect reports, the idea of fitting the planting
to the needs is gradually taking hold. After the
experiences of the present agricultural problem,
it is likely that greater cooperation win be
brought about.

Waterfo70I Disease.

MILLIONS of ducks and other waterfowl have
been killed through disease in the Western
States in the past two decades. and their deaths
until recently have been attributed to alkali
poisoning. Investigation, however has proven
almost beyond doubt that alkaline water has
been falsely blamed for the deaths. Extensive
tests in laboratories have brought the conclu-
sion that the deaths Of the birds in reality were
due to a form of botulsm.
Two seasons of extensive study in Oregon and
Northern California, backed up by considerable
laboratory work by experts of the Biological
Survey, have shown that the presence of aka
line solutions in the water inhabited by the
fowls almost certainly is not to blame. In
waters where the alkah present has been Of
small percentage, waterfowl have died by the
thousands, while in other waters where there
has been relatively large percentage few or
no deaths have occurred.
Taking this as assurance that alkali was not
to blame, the scientists turned to bacterial re-
search to find the reason. Tissue taken from
some of the ducks which have died has been

Fit Planting to Needs.

THE need for application Of business princi-
Piles to farming, as advocated in the Federal
Farm Boards "Grow Less-Get More" pro-
gram for wheat farmers, seems to be borne out
in table Of production and price prepared by
the board. This table, covering the five years
from 1924 to 1928, inclusive, shows that the
bumper crops of 1928, totaling 463 600, 900
bushels, Melted the farmers but Sc cents a
bushel, while the lowest crop Of the hve-year
period, that of 1925, when 321 ,O0O, 900 bushels
were produced netted $166 a bushel. The
three other years showed the price declining in
inverse ratio to the increased production.
The Farm Board experts believe that wheat
farmers can not compete with foreign growers
of this grain and that it will be necessary If
prosperity is to be maintained among the
growers to reduce crops to the point where
they will be just about balanced with domestic
consumption.

Men Buying Fur Goats.

WHILE women made a last years fur coat
do another season or turned to fur
trimmed coats instead men apparently are be-
ginning to adopt the fur type coat, If the COM
parison of 1929 figures with those of 1927 can
be u ed as basis. The production Of women's
coats dropped of about 26,O00,0O while mems
increased from 100000 to 4196O00 Fur
neckpieces and trimmings increased, but all
other fur products showed decline for the
year.

those whom, even in their official statements,
Soviet leaders describe as men who do not die
out quickly enough" It is true that after
month of stay here all lose their theological"
and "class distinction" Covered with insects
and ulcers, all revert to type; an ex-aristocrat
becomes undistinguishable from a bandit. But
that makes no difference. They are, or at least
they were, the proletariat's GLASS enemies" It
would be silly to stand on ceremony with them.
Moreover, the Solovietzky administration has
an enormous free supply of this laboring power.
When it needs more men Moscow throws into
Solovki, cas- into furnace" spadeful of new

convicts are taken from other Russian prisons.
In that sense Solovd serves as a reservoir TO

The disease produced marked weakness of

WHERE lies the cause of this at the first
sight absurd cruelty? First of all, in the
social composition" of the convicts.
Among Solovietzlky's convicts there are crini-
nal offenders. But they are very few. As in
Ivan the Terrible's day, Solovki is chiefly q
political prison. From ex-aristocrats and clergy
men (many Of the late Patriarch Tikhons sup
porters died here) to "sabotaging technical ex-
perts," workmen who permitted themselves to
strike, and "nep-men"--that is to say new BUSH
ness men who were allowed to trade by Lenin,
but were rearrested and banished by Stain
all sorts of Soviet enemies" are represented.
Lately thousands of "kulaks"-that is, peasants
who opposed Observation-Disclosures been sent
here with their families Qt is they, by the
way, who have raised the number Of Solovietzky
convicts to its present enormous fgure).

KET TCH|KAN COUNCIL Is CONSIDERING hNNEXInC
 0F CHARCOAL POINT

AS the result of discussion over the proposed annexation of Char coal Point, at the Ketchikan City Council meeting recently it was de- cided to hold a special meeting and devote the session to that subject, reports the Chronicle.
 Sherman Duggan, on behalf Of the Charcoal Point property own CTS who signed the petition asking for annexation, appeared before the council to find out what prog ress had been made.
 The Mayor of Ketchikan and some of the councilmen declared that it was subject which required careful consideration, from the fact that the city would have to pay out great deal more for streets, sidewalks, sewers, schools and other improvements, including fire and police protection, than would be returned in taxes However, the Mayor added, that in time the taxes would compensate the city.
 Tn answer to a question, MT. Dug gan said there were 72 or 75.school children in the district. Tt was thought these could be accommo- dated by fixing up one of the spare rooms in the White Cliff school.
 The procedure for annexation, it was explained, would take time The city would first have to make application to the district court asking for annexation. The court would then set date for hearing for any one who desired to object, after which, in case there was no valid objection, a special election would be arranged

Created largely as an experiment by
the Radio Corporation Of America, Gen
cral Electric and Westinghouse 10 sell
the idea OF broadcasting 70 the country.
the N B G has more than accom-
pliShcd its purpose. The idea behind
the network was 20 create a market for
receiving sets manufactured by or with
the patents of the parent companies
through the presentation Ct programs
that would attract listeners
Achieved Big Task.
When the N. B. c. was organized
broadcasting was in the throes of chaos.
1t was at that time that the radio law
broke down and stations cropped up
like mushrooms, Squatting on the wave
lengths Unfortunately. HeterodyneS
and squeals filed the air and programs
were arranged by most of the new
corners in haphazard fashion. N. B. C's
job was to instill public confidence in
radio and thereby promote the sale of
receivers.
The inaugural program of November
is, 1926, which marked the advent of
chain broadcaSting-or stations linked
by wire transmitting the same program
was heard by an audience estimated at
100000 Today the N. B. C.'S two
coaSt-to-coaSt networks can reach po
tential audience of 81 900 900 people The
featured stars in that original program
included Tito Ruffo and Mary Garden.
Weber and Fields, Will Rogers, Walter
DamroSch and his New York Symphony.
More than so broadcaSting stations
are now associated with N. B. C.'s net
works. 1t spends more than $10,000,000
for talent alone during the course of
year 1t pays some 100000 annually
for the leasing of $1,000 miles of
special telephone lines linking its sta
tons from coast to coast.
Giant Strides Made.
Interesting facts on the giant strides
of network broadcaSting show that in
one recent month the New York N B.
G. studios alone originated 1897 pro-
grams, involving 23,657 individual ap-
pearanceS before the microphone. All
told, the key stations, WEAF and WIZ,
both in New York, broadcast 2,813
programs, many originating in the N.
B. c studios at Chicago, Washington,
San Francisco, and in special pick-ups
in this country and abroad. Superin-
tending these programs is an N. B. c..
personnel of executives, engineers, pro-
gram builders and productionists num-
bering 1900 persons, headed by M H.
Aylesworth, who has been with it from
the start. Eight months after the N.
B. c. was created, competitive net
work-the Columbia Broadcasting Sys-
tem-came into the field as a subsidiary
of the Columbia Photograph interests.
Since reorganized, and now owned par
tally by Paramount Famous-Lasky
COrnoration Columbia has as MANY
associated stations as the N. B. c., but
maintains only a single Nationwide

"a golden opportunity for farmers

itself this fall with sweet clover I'M
usually cheap" says H. o. Anderson,
Houston county agent. Mr.. Anderson
says sweet clover, which is widely
used for pasture in Minnesota will
carry at least twice the number of
livestock that ordinary upland past
ure will and is particularly valuable
in dry seasons. Lining the soil this
fall and otherwise seeding the clover
in the same way as alfalfa will pro-
vide excellent pasture next fall as
well as for the following year.
