HALIBUT INDUSTRY FACES
 DILEMMA

The halibut industry faced a dllcmmo last week with arrival of 100000 pounds of halibut in Seattle. The situation was due to the inability of the United Pa~ ciflc, composed Of vessel owners and fishermen, to purchase the offerings.
 Fish dealers stood pat, refus~ ing to bid for the offerings and m Prince Rupert the independ- ent buyers were getting fish from the boats for the first time since organization of United Pa ciflc Fisheries. Canadian Fish and Cold Storage and Booth Fisheries took offerino;. In Van couver the vessel owners were unable to take all the offerings and in Petersburg several of the boats shipped their fares to Seattle while others stored their fish in the cold storage

It is reported that the Alas "a Pacific Salmon Corporation is offering it's resident seiners at Rake, four cents for humpback salmon and require three shares 'vhere a crew operates cannery boat and seine Libby, McNeil and Libby at Craig are offering their men tIrec cents for the same salmon; Pyramid Packing Company at SiJka set the same price and the fishermen agreed to it. Libby company furnishes oil, coal, etc., incidental to tho crew expense A. F. s. requires its fishermen to furnish eVery- ;Ding.
 Nothing Per Man

At cents per salm- on a crew will gross $40 per thousand CT $5 per share The average crew catches an aver age of 25,000 salmon per season (and this is high), so that each share will gross $125. Out of this must come grub, clothing. This amount is earned from June tc the 22nd of August.

Leaders of the organization are still making ef- fort to follow out original plans and any degree of success will bc marked by the support given by Eombers of the association.
 There are some who contend tilat fruition of the plans of the organization cannot be, due to the complete buying and selling machinery of the old line com Eanies which have already in- dicated their power by refusing to buy fares except on their terms.
 There is only one solution to the entire situation-curtail- ment of operations which must come through and from the ves- sel owners themselves. Report by the International Fisheries Commission indicates a decline of ten per cent per year in vir- tually all fishing banks. At which rate, unless drastic steps are taken the entire industry will face it's denouement. If the " ssel Owners and United PAci- lie through it's membership takes steps to produce less, it will not only protect the future of the industry but prices will be stabilized to the point where the producers will receive pro- r2r compensation for their la bor.

COUNT STINGS ON

Spraying Methods

Recording each worm entry and
sting on more than 1,300,0 900 apples
harvested in the Wenatchee valley
this fall has been the task of An
thony Spuler, associate etomologist
in charge of codling moth control.
Mr.. Spuler was recently in Pull

pertinent station workers.
Careful examination of more
than $4,000 boxes of apples was
undertaken to determine the rela-
tive effectiveness and economy of
various spray treatments used to
combat the codling MOTH" states
Mr.. Spuler. The experiments and
recording Of results must be car
ried on over a period of years to
double check and triple check
against errors arising from varia-
tions in worm infestation in the
orchard from one season to tn e
next"
Results Of these experiments
will be presented by Mr.. Spuler,
who has been in direct charge of
codling moth investigation in the
Wenatchee valley since 1926, at
the meeting of the Washington
State Horticultural society at Yak
ina, December 1 to 8.

Attractive Lawns Follow
Proper Seeding And Care

| I Il !. 4 e Z 4 + e
Attractive green turf around the
house is within the reach of any
one who is willing to follow care
fully certain fundamental rules in
preparing the ground for new
lawn, in seeding it, and in caring
for the grass once it has made its
growth.
AS most lawns are of compar-
atively small area, the extra cost
of giving the seed bed the neces-
sary pulverizing and fertilizing to
insure best results and of buying
the best seed is rarely prohibitive.
Skimping on seed and fertilizer is
not real economy in the long run,
says H. L. Westover and c. R. En-
low, grass specialists of the US.
Department of Agriculture, W h o
have compiled set Of detailed in
structions for the planting and
care Of lawns in all parts of the
United States.
Climate and soil determine the
kind of grass seed that should be
sown in the various parts of the
country and also the time of year
when the lawn should be started.

pared with the same period last
year. The four large midwest
states of Iowa, Missouri, Illinois
and Minnesota decreased ship
ments 81 percent during the four
months period while the Pacific
slope and eastern states increased
their shipments. Egg receipts from
Washington and Oregon for the
week ending October 81, decreased
1877.
Present prices have resulted in
a larger use of fresh eggs and a
somewhat slower movement of
storage eggs. Coast storage hold
ings are about 40 percent below
those of last year and should cause
no difficulty. The better prices of
the early fall cause many poultry
men to hold hens which would or
dinarily have been culled. The
price drop in eggs has now caused
an increase in the marketing of
of light fowl.
The feed-egg ratio has been
favorable for high egg production
during the summer and fall. The
Improvement in the price of wheat,
while increasing the cost of the
poultry ration somewhat, should
have a very beneficial effect on
general business and egg consump-

Latest Agricultural and Home
Economics Information and
Practices Available

The first annual Farmers and
Farm Homemakers' Week will be
held at Washington State College,
December 7 to IL, for the purpose
of bringing to the farmer and the
farm homemaker the latest agri-
cultural and home economics in
formation and practices. The new
school is sponsored by the college
of agriculture, college of home eco
nomicsc, experiment station and
extension service. All farmers and
farm homemakers will be eligible
to attend and no registration fees
will be charged.
Farmers will study at first hand
the. results of experimental work
done in livestock feeding and man
aging operation, as well as the re-
suits of research in agronomy,
f arm management and agricultur-
al economics. Homemakers will
take up foods, nutrition, dress de-
sign and construction, home equip
ment, home management and other
important projects.
A special recreational program
including plays, musicales and ath-
letic events has been planned as
an added feature of the week.

ALFALFA HAY SHOWN
AS A FERTILIZER

On the present market value OF
nitrogen. phosphoric acid and pot
ash in the cheaper form in which
they are available in the county.
alfalfa hay is worth as fertilizer
1884 per ton. This value would adj
lust the value of the above fertili-
ger ingredients which the hay con-
tains. There would be the added
value of the organic or humus con-
tent which it would do much to
improve almost any soil that we
have in the county. OF the above
value, $5.28 is credited to nitro
gen, Gle to phosphoric acid and
$3.50 to potash. IL potash were not
needed then the fertilizer value
would be $3.50.
Alfalfa hay, because OF its high
nitrogen content as compared to
the carbon content of the crop
should break down into humus in
good shape in the soil. For those
who may have old alfalfa stacks
which they might sell that they
could get greater returns from
due to its fertilizer value than
through sale we would suggest the
putting on of the alfalfa crop and
discing as soon as possible so as
to break it up and incorporate it
with the soil while still in dry con-
dition. IF the ground was to be put
into a vigorous crop it might be
left in the disked condition this
fall and then plowed deep next
spring would leave the organic
material where it would be OF
most use to the plant.
Because of the low phosphoric
acid content of the alfalfa it would
seem advisable to put on a strip
of superphosphate with the alfal
ia and check yield over this strip
as compared to the field without
the super. In some areas, partic-
ularily the lighter soils of the low
er valley, we would recommend the
use of super phosphate over most
of the field with just reasonable
wide check strip without any sup
er to determine just how much re-
turns one was getting from the ap-
plication of the superphosphate.
A question came to the office
last week in regard to the use of
alfalfa hay as fertilizer and this
has prompted this news article,
Citrus growers of California nave
used hay as fertilizer for years
now.

EGGS MOVE FREELY

Reduced Number of Hens and Pull
lets, Reduced Receipts and
Stock Favor Business

Eggs have been moving into con-

prices with increased receipts of
fresh eggs from the Pacific coast
to the principal markets. Reduced
numbers of hens and pullets, low
cred receipts, reduced storage
stocks of eggs, and more optimism

United States last spring is be-
ing felt this fall with the result
that receipts to the four principal
markets decreased 1O.6 percent

monty used grasses over most of
the United States. As rule lawns
are started with seed which is
carefully broadcast, preferably by
hand. Creeping bentgrass, used
for putting greens, however, is
started from pieces of runners.
This grass requires much more at
tention than the other grasses.
The Department of Agriculture
specialists favor sowing of lawns
in the North in the fall of the
year as the weeds are less trou-
blesome then, and the young grass
has a chance to get good start
before the spring crop of weeds
develops. Southern lawns, how
ever, do best if seeded in the
spring.
Getting a satisfactory stand of
grass is only half the problem of a
good lawn. Constant attention is
necessary to keep the grass always
thick and green. This calls for fer
tilizing, lining and rolling from
time to time. Sprinkling should be
done with the knowledge that thru
soaking encourages deep root de-
velopment, whereas light sprink-
ling merely stimulates the surface
foots.
There is also best way to NOW
a lawn to remove weeds, and to
eradicate insect pests and disease.
