Editor, Tribune:
The article under the heading:
"Our Own Doles" as printed in q re-
cent issue Of The Tribune, and which
originally appeared in the Chicago
Tribune contains much food for
thought. After reading this article
one can readily see that in seeking to
do too much good one can actually
do much harm. Instead Of helping,
one can actually hinder the return
of prosperity. When people once find
out that they can live at ease at the
expense of the charitably inclined.
when they thoroughly have inoculat-
ed into their systems the fact that
the drone fares better than the
worker bee, we are going to have q
mighty hard time convincing them to
the contrary.
Instead Of It being humiliation to
accept public aid, there are many
who have come to look upon such as
their right and privilege. In former
years, those who could not keep
themselves, or whose relatives could
not or would not provide for them,
were given necessary care at the

replied to the speeches Of Chancellor
Won Hertling Of Germany and Count
Czernin of Austria Hungary in an
address before congress, setting forth
his four requirements for peace.
First-Each part Of the final set
Element must be based upon the es-
sential justice of that particular case
and upon such adjustments as are
most likely to bring peace that will
be permanent.
Second-Peoples and provinces are

involved in this war must be made in
the interest and for the benefit Of the
populations concerned.

licemen in this division. They're
sent out to turn up swanky gambling

look funny in dress clothes ;. But
there are about q dozen who can

asked to society dances when the
hostess fears for her jewels or there's
suspicion of an inside job. These
soup and-fishers are recruited from
the darndest places. ). Just the 9TH

OF Interest To Farmers
By County Agent E. c. Durdle

where the phosphates would not do
this and where other fertilizers might
be essential, but we question this. We
would certainly recommend to every
alfalfa grower, whether growing hay
for market or for his own use, to plan
definitely on the use of at least a
small plot of superphosphate at the
rate Of 500 pounds to the acre. This
may be hundred pound sack on LIS
Of an acre or any size plot. We would
definitely recommend, however, that If
one contemplates using this over the
entire field that at least a strip 80 feet
wide be left across the center of the
field on which the fertilizer has not
been applied.
The other thing which enters into
quality is the way in which the hay
is cured. A little more than year
ago Mr.. Sotola, who has been making
detailed studies in the analysis of feed
crops, and who is specialist on animal
nutrition at the State college, pointed
out to a group that the vitamin con-
tent of hay in the Yakima valley might
be certainly reduced by too much eX-
posulre of the hay to the sun. Not only
is the vitamin content affected but
nearly every farmer knows that hay
which dries until it becomes brittle
loses much of it's leaves and small
stems before it reaches the barn. We
are going to suggest that growers de-
fnitely try out little check on how
sun dried hay can go into the shock
after being cut when the third cut
ting is made. You may be surprised in
,, the results. At the Station at Prosser
hay when cut in the morning is usually
put into the WindroW before noon and
may go into the shock before night.
I We occasionally run into farmers in
all parts of the county who follow q
system of getting the hay from behind
the mower into the shock in what or
dinarily would look like remarkably
short period. Try this out to your own
satisfaction, of course using judgment
in the amount of sunshine which you
are getting on the days when you are
haying.
Last winter hay from other sections
near us was quoted at two to two and
a half dollars ton above ours Why?
Undoubtedly due to better quality of
hay. A good deal of hay was spoiled
on the west side due to summer rains
and there is possibility that there
may be a fair hay market this year.
Why not make special attempt to
produce quality hay for this market
this year?

Housewives Offered
Prizes for Canning

Old Man Depression is being chased
out of every town, village and hamlet
by thrifty women who are filling glass
jars with fruits, vegetables, jellies, Jams
and pickles for next winters use.
They say that every cloud has sill
yer lining, but this particular depres-
sion cloud has gold lining for over
two thousand lucky women, who are
doing home canning and sending
samples of their wares to the Inter
national Canning Contest, at Aurora,
Illinois.
To arouse greater interest in the
thrift movement to conserve all avail
able food supplies, Ball Brothers of
Muncie. Indiana, are offering more
than 100000 in cash and prizes to
the winners in this contest. Anyone is
eligible to enter. There are prizes for
everything that can possibly be put in
to glass jars for future use. There are
prizes for canned chicken, fruit, vege-
tables, jellies, jams, and even picked
eggs. There are two wonderful schol-

scholarship, the other a 500.
In addition to cash prizes there are
worthwhile merchandise prizes such as
complete outfit of clothing, over
night bags and electrical appliances.
This is the "canningest" year in his
tory Thousands of women and girls,
many of whom have never canned
anything before, are now taking advan-
tage of the plentiful supply of fresh
foods at reasonable prices, and the low
price of sugar, and are canning, cam
ming, canning. Perhaps some long past
ancestral bunch is reminding them
that this winter may be hard one,
and they'd better be about the bust
ness of laying in a goodly supply of
foods. Anyway, everything from soup to
dessert is being canned.
"This contest" says Grace Wall Gray,
Secretary, sis held for many reasons.
Of course, the first purpose is to find
the best Gamers in the U. S. and
foreign countries. The contest is to the
women what the International Live
