COUNTY AGENT ATTENDS
ANNUAL 4-DAYi CONFERENCE

Mrs. Mary A. Davis, county club
leader and home demonstration
agent, and E. C. Durdle, county
extension agent in agriculture and
Boys club work, have returned
the latter part Of last week from
the four-day annual conference
leld for extension workers at the
State College Of Washington. II

alter, and practically every night
was spent on one or another o
agents work. Mrs. Davis served as
-ecretary of the group on hom'
management and Mr.. Durdle a
chairman of the session on soil
'ertility held Friday morning.
The program included both re
ports of doing extension work a.
well as results accomplished by
extension agents and discussion Of
some of the bigger problems by
members Of the resident staff at
the college and others coming in
from the outside. The main pro-
gram conferred around discussion
of 4-H club work and organization
of older groups including the up
per age limits for club member
ship and groups from 20 to 80 or
above. This is new department in
club work and was presented by
Mr.. Lloyd, regional director for
the eleven western states. Mr..
Lloyd has made a special study
of the problem during this partic-
ular period and had much that was
really worth while to give to this
topic. It was also the subject OF
committee meeting and report back
to the group of county agents and
SpeclallSCS.
Home management work for the
women agents was given one-half
day for this port of the group. A
half day was given to each OF the
following problems: Marketing
and finance, outlook and trends in
production; and the social aspects
of farm life. There is a much more
marked tendency for farmers to
make use of outlook reports now
made available and there seems to
be an increased interest in evalu-
alton of farm life based upon more
attention given to the social as
poets of life and a program for
the farm tending to one of self
sufficiency. The highly specialized

EXTENSION PROGRAM
FOR 1892 TO STRESS

Twentieth Annual Conference of
State and County Workers Held

Sixty-eight state and county

out the 1892 extension program
and deIving into leading farm and

no; E. G.. Johnson, dean, college Of
agriculture; Florence Harrison,
dean, college of home economics,
and F. E. Balmer, director, extern
sion service, all Of the State Col
lege, were speakers for the con-
GLIDING luncheon session with the
State College faculty members as
special guests.
Economy in production, market
ing, and farm living, is the key
note of the extension program
adopted for 1892. It's purpose will
be to attain better and more ade-
quate farm living, maintain the
economic position Of the farmer,
promote community welfare, and
meet changing conditions brought
about by the present economic sit
uation.
The 1882 program will stress
outlook work, the supplying Of
economic information for the use
Of the individual farmer in laying
his cropping and livestock plans.
The outlook work will encourage
sterilization of production in the
various divisions of agriculture,
based on a long time program.
Both seasonal and longtime eco
nomic facts for cash crops and
other farm commodities will be
given prominent place in both
state and county programs.
Recommendations on soil fertil-
ity will consider building up and
maintenance of soil fertility thru
the use of leguminous crops of
first Importance. Extensive soil
surveys and soil studies are plan
ned for different counties to deter

raised to get maximum benefits
The soil committee made, as their
principle recommendations, that
more emphasis be placed upon the
maintaining of the organic supplv
as well as the soil fertility thrn
the use of leguminous crops either
as cover crops or as crops used n
the regular rotation. From thu
standpoint of the accumulation Of
the most up-to-date information
on various lines Of work the annual
conference is probably the most
efficient method of keeping the ex-
tension service informed. In this
way questions which always come
up are discussed and answered
applicable to the various condi.
tions in the counties Of the state
brought out so that at least tho
agents may return to his county
and make the application which
will bring the best results based
upon available information. The
program was more than full with
the topics discussed. This is the
reason why the program has been
developed so as to discuss one line
Of enterprise one year, leaving the
discussion Of the other enterprises
to the following year, that is, dis.
cussion any one enterprise only
every other year. Your extension
agent feels that they can give you
much better service for having at
tended this conference.

farm Of the past has often left
the farmer without the necessities
of life as far as many farm pro-
ducts are concerned. Times Of de-
preston always have tendency
to bring the farmer back to pro-
gram of self support and this note
was evident throughout the re-
ports Of many Of the agents from
over the state.
One-half day was given to new
crops; weed control and soil fer
tility. There are several new crops
coming into the field which may
be of quite a little value to farm
ers of this section, particularly
those in the dry land areas. One
of these is a new grass which has
quite drought resistant qualities
and which may become an import
ant grazing crop in these areas.
The new sweet clover being devel-
oped and also promised consider
able to the irrigated sections and
wheats already developed and
still being selected still offer
to both dry land and irrigat-
ed sections. Under weed control
discussion a statement was made
by a man in charge Of this work
at the college, that much less is
really known about the chlorate
method of treatment then was
thought a year ago. Other sections
are finding just what has been
found in Benton county, that on
one farm chlorate supplied to the
weeds may effect almost compiste
control but that on another, even
when CELEBRATES are applied the
same day and under very similar
conditions that control may be
rather poor. Very definite work is
being planned in attacking the
weed control problem. The soil
fertility work which has been car
ried in the state now for three
years was very nicely sumed up

DAIRY SITUATION
DEMANDS CULLING
Number Of Dairy Cows and Milk
Production Increasing-Good
Rate Of Consumption Held


Increasing milk production, in
creasing numbers Of dairy cows,
low cost dairy feeds in regions
where they are grown, low storage
stocks and keen foreign COMPETE
ton stand out as the leading
trends in the present dairy situa-
ton, according to R. M. Turner,
extension economist. Re d uced
prices Of dairy products have made
it possible to maintain a good rate
of consumption in the face Of re-
duced industrial activity and low
cred purchasing power.
The number Of milk cows on
farms in the United States is about
four percent more than a year ago
and is increasing. On October
dairymen in the western states in
Dictated that they expected to have
14.5 percent more cows and heif-
ers in milk next October, 1882, than
the last October. While they will
likely fall short of this number, it
is evident that the dairy industry
is facing steadily increasing num-
bers. This fact is also confirmed
by the lowered numbers Of cows
and heifers being culled. The num-
bers of these animals going to
slaughter has decreased steadily
since 1926. Recent surveys in the
Washington dairy counties indi-
cate "A to 66 head Of heifer calves

and yearlings on hand for every

and yearlings on hand for every
100 milk cows.
While receipts Of milk and dairy
products were greatly reduced be-
cause Of the drouth in the sum-
mer Of 1881, production increased
greatly last fall. November 1, Of
1881, milk production was highest
for that date per cow, and four
percent above average. This
change was due to heavier feeding
Of grain and to favorable pasture
during the late fall. During the
coming months milk production
per cow will depend upon prices,
rate Of feeding and weather con-
ditions.
Feed prices for many dairy Sec
tions in the county have been low
in proportion to the price Of milk
and butterfat. However, there is
great difference in the price in
dairy feeds in different sections
Of the country, depending on
whether grains and feeds were
produced as a surplus or shipped
in to dairy regions at high cost.
The cost of dairy ration depends
greatly on local conditions.
For the period January ] to
October 81, 1881, production of all
manufactured products in the u.
S. was O.6 percent less than the
corresponding period q year ago.
On the other hand consumption of
manufactured dairy products was
1.6 percent above that period a
year ago. While the price of but
ter and dairy products has fallen
in line with the reduced industrial
activity, consumers have taken a
larger volume Of manufactured
dairy products on account of low
prices.
The dairy picture has been gen.
orally obscured by the effect of
the decreased production during
the summer when drouth was
prevalent and storage stocks were
extremely low. The effect of Eng
land going off the gold basis has
had a very depressing effect on
butterfat prices because since Oct
ober Is it has been often possible
for foreign countries to import
butter over our IA cent tariff wall.
The greatly deprecated prices Of
dairy products in foreign coun-
tries when reduced to a gold basis
have caused a wide spread between
our prices and prices in foreign
countries. This has made impor-
tation possible with the resultant
lowered and depressed prices in
the United States. Rising prices in
England and other countries as a
result of initiation there may adj
just this situation favorably in a
few months.
Even though business improve
ment occurs in the near future it
will be some time before improved
buying power results. Consequent
ly, dairymen are urged to Gull
their low producing cows and pre-
vent accumulations Of dairy prod
ucts in proportion to current de-
mand.

mine soil deficiencies. Since farm
manure is an important source Of
fertility, it's conservation will be
emphasized.
The crop improvement program
will stress more test plots to de-
termine adaptability Of different
varieties Of crops to local condi-
tions, and encourage suitable men
Of each county in growing certified
seed. It was recommended that an
adequate seed testing laboratory
be established at the State College
of Washington in cooperation with
the US. department Of agricul-
ture, to test seeds for termination
and purity. A milling laboratory to
test the quality Of wheats was
also recommended.
A cooperative survey Of the dis
tribution and relative importance
Of weeds in the state and exhibits
Of noxious weeds in each crop
zone, will be considered by extern
sion service and experiment sta
ton representatives. Organization
Of weed districts, planting Of only
pure seed, and other weed control
measures are to be undertaken in
cooperation with farmers organ
izations, bankers associations and
other agencies.
Especially significant, in view
Of present economic conditions is
the 1892 program Of farm food
projects. Every farm family, when
practical, will be encouraged to
produce home grown foods, such
as vegetables, fruits, dairy, live
stock and poultry products in large
enough quantity to supply the
needs Of the family for the year.
The program will include ade-
quate storage for winter food sup
plies and canning Of perishable
fruits and produce. The home gar
den program is also to be encour-
aged in small towns where suitable
land is available.
Extension home Identification
work will be undertaken during the
coming year and will include the
cleaning up, repairing and paint
ing, as well as planting trees, and
shrubs and flowers in landscape
designs. The purpose of the pro-
ject is to improve community life
and pride, take advantage Of the
present low price Of shrubs, trees
and paintings, to provide work for

on motion of the commonwealth.
During the trial here, the Knox

lished editorial comment on convic-
ton of a defendant which Judge
Prewitt considered contemptuous.
He forthwith barred its repre-
sentatives from his court. The
newspaper appealed to the Ken
lucky appellate court for temper

denied.
Subsequently, the News Sentinel
petitioned the court of appeals for
a permanent writ and determina-
ton OF the case upon its merits.
Later Prewitt modified his order
TO make it applicable only 10 Har-
Ian county cases still pending be-
fore his court.
Judge Prewitts order sending
back to Harlan county every Har-
Ian county case still pending in

The Interpretation here was that

front the News-Sentinel with the
necessity Of instituting an entire

contention that Judge Prewitt pro-

EDGREN AGREES
TO REMAIN ON
BOXING BOARD

LOS ANGELES, Jan. "A U.P-
Gov. James Rolph. Jr., announced
here today that he had prevailed
upon Robert Edgren 70 remain as
a member OF the state athletic
commission.
The governor and Edgren held a
Secret conference for more than an
hour in a downtown hotel. 1t was
believed that the governor sought
10 learn the reasons why Edgren
submitted his resignation several
weeks ago.
The governor made a brief an
nouncement after the commissioner
withdrew his resignation. Governor
Rolph said:
I have prevailed upon Mr.. Ed
gren to remain on the commission
and the latter part OF next week
shall call a session of the boxing
commission 10 iron out what diff
ficultieS might remain within it. -
Later Edgren was located and
interviewed by reporters. He init
mated that there still was some
doubt as to his final decision,
which probably would come after
the commission meets with Cover
nor Rolph. The meeting, il was
believed, will be held in Los An
geles.
Il took the job in the hope Of
helping the boxing game in Cali

office nor reward" Edgren said
III II appears evident that I can't
get any cooperation from other
members Of the commission and
am baked by this fixed ratio OF
two votes to one, then it's time to
withdraw"
Edgren said that the governor
had promised TO "straighten out
difficulties IN the commission"
Edgren charged the other COM
fnissionerS represented q bloc
against him, always voting to-
gether and that frequently new
rules were passed at meetings
without his knowledge and that he
did not hear of the regulations
until he read the minutes.
Edgren pointed out that although
the commissioners had voted to re-
new all professional boxing and
wrestling licenses for 1892, the
Hollywood Legion's application for
a wrestling license was still
held up.
If the commission is run as II
should be I will remain" said Ed
gren. IF it is not, better not re-
main on it."
