BETTER DAIRY PRICES
OR CHEAPER PRODUCTION

A review of the general dairy
situation and the market outlook
for last fall seems to indicate that
many are not at all sure as to what
the situation is going to be. While
there has been a shortage in ma
tional butter holdings, yet to many
the situation does not look overly
bright for big Improvement next
fall.
If the above picture is the true
situation it woulr seem that the
only way out for many of our
dairymen of the county who de-
pend upon purchased feeds for
everything except the hay. In
some cases no additional feeds are
given othe rthan hay. Under eth
er of these conditions it will be
more costly to produce butterfat
than where a large part of the
complete dairy ration can be pro-
duced on the farm and unquestion-
ingly so where a good dairy ration
is fed.
1t is not too late yet to make
arrangements for that winter sue
culent crop. Probably the farmer
who needs this the most is the man
who does not have silo and hence
silage is quite largely out of the
question. Squash or fall feeding
and roots, particularly in the form
of carrots, for winter and early
spring feeding can still be produc-
ed Tonnage of both crops run
high, if the crops are given even a
reasonable fertilization.
Why not give some land to the
production of one or both of these
crops this year? They can be
taken care of on most farms by
farm labor. If there is no appre-
ciable rise in price next fall then
the dairyman will be in a better
shape to meet competition. If a

RATS

Judging from the number of
calls that have come to the office
this spring for rat control work,
rats must have increased in the
last year considerably, particular
~ in the Kennewick area. In fol-
lowing up these we sometimes find
places pretty well overrun wit h
rats of all sizes, while in others
just a few seem to have moved in
and tsarted a new place of resi-
dence. Many of the complaints
have come in because of losses of
poultry or serious damage to feeds
about the poultry house or farm.
Because of the large number of
individual cases that have come in
we are going to suggest that peo-
Pile having trouble with rats get in
touch with their neighbors and if
the problem seems to be a general
one in the immediate neighbor-
hood, that steps be taken to see
that the entire neighborhood is
treated at the same time. If this
is not done rats soon move in again
to places where they have been
cleaned up and constant attention
must be given to cleaning up new
infestations.
In rat cleanup work this spring
we have used both the cyanogas
method, that is, the use of the A
dust with the buster and putting
this into the burrows, and the use
of poison. Wherever the cyanogas
can be used this is the mast salts
factory method as special precau-
ton does not need to be taken
aginst the possibility of killing of
cats or dogs.
Where the infestation may be
light or wherever one wishes to
take care of his situation them
selves we would say that it is al
ways better to prebait before dis
tributing the poison and then to
change the poison an diff possible
the bait, each time that new poi
son is put out. Hamburger or fish
scraps or grains, particularly oat-
meal, are very good bats. Most
any of the commercial bats will
get results. Best results will be
obtained, however, of commercial
bats are changed from one time
to another. Red Squill should not
be used a second time inside Of 5
or 6 weeks. Most of the bats may
be used in a much shorted period
than this however.

Substantial progress

4 ~
farmers of effective cooperative
marketing systems since the pas
sage of the Agricultural Market
ing Act, but much yet remains TO
be done. Cooperative marketing is
a long time program; and effect
i've farm marketing systems can
improve the position of agriculture
, and protect the interests of farm
ers in emergency periods such as
this one.
In the case of those products
where effective cooperative sales
agencies controlled enough of the
volume to influence the market, as
in fluid milk, butter, wool, citrus
fruits and other products, the CO.
operatives which followed an order
~ sales policy have protected pro-
ducers from price Generalization
even tho they could not completely
counterbalance the domestic de-
cline in consumer purchasing POI
wer. Undoubtedly, cooperative
marketing of farm products will
produce the best results for farm
ers over a long period, and t h e
Farm Board considers such activ-
tiles necessary to permanently pro-
tect the interests of agriculture.
The Agricultural Marketing Act
provides a means of encouraging
and stimulating the development of
these elective ystems for order
Iy production and marketing. The
organizations already present in
agriculture have kept intact thru
out the depression by financial as
sistance from the revolving fund
when other credit agencies ceased
to function. Farmers have been
given assistance in forming new or
CARNATIONS on many markets and
in many commodities. Systems of
cooperative organizations can not
be built up in a day. Material pro-
gress during the three years has
been made in the face of exceed
ingly difficult conditions. Efforts
in this direction must be intensified
and accelerated. Continuation of
the work begun under the Agri-
cultural Marketing Act is vital to
secure to the farmer his fair share
of the consumers dollar, and is
necessary to maintain and protect
his interests when prices start ris-
ing again as well as to defend
them when prices are declining.
In conclusion: the very low in
comes of farmers are due to four
fundamental conditions:
1. The purchaser of farm prod
ucts in this country lack adequate
purchasing power.
2. Farmers are unable to main
tain payments on fixed debts and
taxes established when prices were
high.
To meet these two conditions we
recommend an continuation of the
vigorous banking policy of credit
expansion to increase consumer
n
buying power and turn the course
of commodity prices upwards.
3. The purchasers of our wheat
and cotton in other countries lack
the funds with which to buy our
SURPRISES.
| We recommend to meet this con-
dition provision of adequate cred
it to move these SURPRISES out OF
this country into consumption In
! places where they would not 9th
/ erwise be used.
/ A. Farmers are not yet suffic-
iently organized into producer
owned and producer-controlled CO.
operative organizations to have
strongly collective bargaining pow
er in the sale of their products. In
many sections and in many prod
ucts farmers are still so unorgani-
zed that they suffer to an exces.
sive degree from the uncontrolled

SUGGESTIONS TO MEET THE
AGRICULTURAL EMERGENCY

An effective program to meet
the present emergency in agricul-
ture must reestablish the purchas-
ing power of the consumer in our
farmers largest market-the do
nestle market. 1t must provide
a means of reducing our accumu-
Iations of wheat and cotton by IL
nancing sales abroad; it must raise
prices towards levels which pre-
vailed when presents debts, taxes,
and other fixed charges were es-
tablished or else readjust debts in
line with existing prices and, fl
nally. it must intensity the efforts
already under way to develop a
closely coordinated system of CO.
operative sales agencies, as auth
orized and directed by the Agri-
cultural Marketing Act, strong
enough to protect the interests of
farmers in periods of low or de-
clining prices.
Practical methods of accom-
plishing these detectives appear to
be:
/. A continuation of the ag-
gressive program of open market
operations recently initiated by
Federal Reserve authorities. This
program, if courageously and
steadily followed, should tend to
check credit contraction, restore
business confidence, improve bus
mess activity, increase employ
ment and so lead to a gradual in
crease in commodity prices. The
results of this credit policy would
be accelerated if accompanied by
such action as would induce those
member banks which have been re-
luctant to extend credit to liberal
ize their credit policies.
Such a program should tend to
raise the incomes of consumers
generally and increase the prices
of farm products. With prices of
farm products improved, burdens
of debt and taxation will be easier
and bankruptcies and foreclosures
which would otherwise be newt
able will be prevented.
2. Credit is needed to enable us
to increase the sale of our surplus
wheat and cotton to those pur-
chasers abroad who lack necessary
funds with which to buy at this
time. Agricultural prices have a
very important psychological sig
nificance in the development of
business confidence and restora-
ton of bushes activity. Wheat
and cotton prices have led the way
out of previous depressions. 1t is
particularly important that our do
nestle carryover of wheat and
cotton into the next crop season
be reduced so that farmers will
receive the best possible prices for
their 1892 crop. If the carryover Of
wheat on July can be reduced TIC
levels significantly below those OF
year earlier, it would mark 9
fundamental turn in the statistical
position of this basoc production
for it would be the first decline in
year-end wheat stocks since june
80, 1926. As result, wheat prices
should improve during the crop.
marketing period and thus in
crease farm income. Equally i'm.
portant would be the significant
influence on general business, thus
improving the demand for all farm
products.
Inquiries which have already
been received Indicate that expor
sales of Is to 25 million bushels o.
wheat and 100000 to LOCO, O0t
bales of cotton could be arranged
before the end of this crop year i
effective financing were available
These sales can not be made unles
the necessary credit is provided.

NEW YORK, April 5.-George

announcement in August of 1880
that he wasn't going to be a

heart.
From Houston, Tex, where the
second ranking player of the
country had been competing in
that city's january invitation
tournament, comes an announce
ment by Lott today to the effect
that he is retiring from Davis
Cup competition this year for
business reasons"
It is an ambiguous statement,
this latest bit from the most

Lott doesn't say he is through

he is going to abandon big league

Benny April, former Newark
first-String catcher and Tech

Hilleary, well-known sandlotter,
for Scranton, Pa. last night. The
pair will be given a thorough try
out with that aggregation in the

thought certain of sticking with
the team.
Walter Morris, who made quite
a name as a baseball player at

when the pair stopped off at
Scranton Walter went to Harris

With the exception of first base
and one of the outfield positions,
Clayton sheedy, Georgetown Uni

his starting lineup for Fridays
opening game with Lafayette Col
Iege on the Hilltop diamond.
The infield includes Bill Rapp,

cause he is a better defensive
player than Carolan and as equal
at bat.
The outfield will compose
Johnny Kilgallen, left field; Capt.
Johnny Evers, center field, and
Tom Trodden or Jerry Dolan,
right field. Frank Orefice, on the
squad two years ago but who was
incapicitated last season due to
injuries, will be firSt-string catcher.
Elmer Lindquist, star southpaw

Twas wild and woody night
at the Boiling Field Armory but
the thousand or so wrestling fans
went home unscratched though
some of the performers bore Wis
ible marks of violence.
1t was the widest night of all
at Boiling Field and the onlook
ers were not only thrilled but
those in the first pews were
fortunate that the falling grap-
piers didn't MAIN them.
Wrestle On Floor
This was true not only once
but frequently during the feature
duel between Lee Wycoff and Pat
Fraley, with the former winning
with an airplane spin and body
slam in 80 minutes. Nothing
daunted these fierce foemen and
its a wonder they left the ring
standing.
On one occasion, both rolled
outside the ropes and dropped to
the concrete floor They went
on with their tangling, just the
same and it was a few minutes
before they were parted and
asked back into the ring where
the paying clients could watch
their blistering combat.
Suffers Injury
These wrestlers don't land on
pillows when they miss flying
tackles and hurtle through the
ropes. Ask Stanley SitkowSki,
who lost to Danny Winters when
knocked out as he landed on the
hard floor Carried unconscious
to the dressing room, it was
found he had injured his foot
and ankle.

PAIR V|CTORS
IN EVERY
MATCH
BY GINO SINH

Are Paul Harrison and Make
Rosenberg still the masters of the
best doubles the Connecticut Blue
Ribbons can put on the drives?
That question adds tremendous
interest to the doubles and singles
matches which open the two-day
bowling carnival at Convention
Hall tomorrow afternoon at 2
o'clock.
For four years, now, Frank
Barber, the grand poobah Of the
Nutmeg flashes, has been trying
to put a doubles team on the
drives thai could stop the local
duo: Yet he has had no difficulty
in scoring over any other Capital
City combination.
Beaten Only Once
In five years of competition
Make and Paulie have tasted de-
feat only once, that was two
months ago, when Wes ASkeW
and Ray Barnes, the remarkable
Baltimore duos, staged one OF the
most sensational rallies on record,
finishing off a ten-game match
with a 312 game t. win by III
pins.
Make termed that the most
spectacular finish that he has
ever been the victim Of. 1t was
perfect steal out of Make and
Paulie's bag of tricks.
Rosenberg and Harrison have
often staged such dramatic fin
,iSheS, breaking two world records
three years ago in the final block
of their first match against the
Connecticut to win by a narrow
margin, after having trailed plenty
in the first block. Similar finishes
marked their subsequent meetings.
Can Nick TronSky and Bill Tato
chase the Jinx that these two bril-
liant WaShingtonianS hold over
them? Plenty of fans will turn
out to see, and many will wager
that they can't.
Clarke Anxious
The impending singles battle
between Astor Clarke and Nick
Tronsky will also draw it's share OF
interest. Astor is plenty "hot"
over his defeat two months
ago, though he rolled better than
1900 for 10 games, including a
706 set, against the Blue Ribbon
wizard.
An added double in which Joe
Harrison will couple with either
Clarke or Earl McPhilomy will
complete the afternoon card.
The addition of Red" Megaw to
t he District All-Star lineup
against the Blue Ribbons in to-
morrow nights team match at
Convention Hall assures
thoroughly representative District
all-star combination. The team
match gets underway at o'clock.
