Apple And Potato
Crop Estimate Less

By County Agent E. G. Durdle

The following quotations on apples
and potatoes are taken from tne
August LIST, Crop Report just received
from the office at Portland. Apple ana
and potato growers of this territory
undoubtedly will be interested IN TINS
information.
APPLES: 1.-THE total apple crop is
now forecast at 146,831 600 bushels.
about two per cent less than the July
forecast and around 10 per cent below
the average crop for the i've years
1926-193O, but about four per cent
larger than the short 1882 crop. In
the important apple producing states
of the East, scab, aphis, and COOLING
moth are the worst in recent years, ana
considerable fruit will be produced that
will not come UP to commercial STAN
dards. Dry weather in the Central
states caused some deterioration In the
crop prospect during the past month.
Cooler weather, with beneficial mois-
ture Conditions, improved the prospects
for crop in the South. In the Pacific
Northwest and California a fair crop
is now forecast
POTATOES: Intense heat and lack
of rainfall in many of the Northern
states have caused much greater de-
cline in the potato crop condition than
ordinarily occurs during July. The
reported August / condition for the
United States is 62.5 per cent of nor
NAL, compared with 1872 per cent on
July l, and an average for August
(l921-1930) of 1917 per cent. In only
three years (19O1, 1911, and 1920 has
the August condition been at such a
low point. The present condition is
the lowest on record for several states
in the Ohio valley. AS a result of these
conditions, United States potato crop
prospects have fallen almost 1400O000
since July to 1872 100000 bushels, the
August l forecast"
The potato situation looks particu
larly good due to the serious drought
conditions through the Northern CEN
trail states. Potato growers should in
light of this fact it seems to us give
particular attention to the production
of a good quality crop this year, so
that new markets may be reached, may
be influenced to purchase in future
| years from us.

Power Will Pay
For Coulee Dam
BY U. s. Senator G. c. Dill

The Grand COulee dam on JAe
Columbia river is to be paid for by the
revenues derived from the power it
produces. The contract between the
presidents administrator and the or
ganization of this state that will eX-
pend and repay the money, has not yet
been made.
Whether the Columbia Basin COM
mission or an irrigation or power dis
trict near the dam site will make that
contract has not yet been determined
Whatever organization makes the con-
tract, it will not bind the state or its
taxable property. The president has
repeatedly stated the loan is to be re-
paid from revenues Of the power plant.
The Grand Coulee dam can be made
wonderful standby plant against
possible emergency needs OF the Seattle
and Tacoma plants. There is high
water In the Columbia during the sum-
mer and low water in the winter and
the early spring. Exactly the opposite
is the condition at the Skagit and
Cushman plants. A high-power trans
mission line across the state connecting
these great plants will be all that will
be needed The president will supply
the money for that under the public
| works bill also.
Secondary power at the Grand
Coulee produced by high water during
the summer months, will sell at the
switchboard at one-half mill Kill
owatt This will be available to far
mers for pumping and spraying
Farmers are now paying 3 to IL mills
per kilowatt for pumping and 60 mills
for spraying. Grand Coulee power can
be sold after transmission, for rates
varying according to distance, at from
mill to 3 mills for both pumping and
spraying.
Grand Coulee primary power will
sell at the switchboard for 2R mills
per kilowatt. That means it can be
delivered all over the northwest for S
mills to 10 mills, or one-tenth to one
fifth the present cost Of power to the
people who live outside cities and COM
munities using municipal power
The Grand Coulee dam is not ar
isolated project. It is the beginning Of
mighty development Of the Columbia
river. That development will extend all
the way from Canada to Portland. This
is only the first unit Of the great irri-
cation project that will be super
imposed on this Jas foot dam to irri-
gate 100000 acres OF land In eastern
Washington.
That big dam will back the water te
Canada. All Of that water will be avail
able to flow thru six other power plant:
that will some day be built below the
Grand Coulee. That water also will ale
navigation In the lower Columbis
which will be started by dam at Bon.
NEVILLE and carried forward by othel
navigation and power dams up tn
river to Pasco and also up the Snake
President Roosevelt is anxious tt
start the use of the power resources O
this mighty river and initiate scheme
of supplying the power on basis of NJ
profit. He also hopes to see 1t become
one of the greatest sources of hydro
, electric power for a nationwide super
power system connecting Boulder dam
Muscle Shoals and the st. LaWrenc
power systems.

opening Of a new clinic in the So
kolniki section of Moscow.
A feature of the new health CEN
ter, equipped according to the last
word of medical science, was the
large auditorium where the open

was filled with workers from the
neighborhood. The platform was
decked out with banners of several
factories and local workers organ
izations.
The Presidium included score of
workers, men and women, who obvi-
ously were proud of the new insti-
tuition in their neighborhood There
was music rendered by an orchestra
hidden from view. There were
speeches. There was loud applause
and even the playing of the Inter
rationale at the mention Of certain
names Of local workers, who per-
formed deeds of quiet heroism in
pushing the project TO completion.
Built by the Workers
There was conspicuous absence
OF speeches eulogizing "benefactor
OF humanity a friend OF the poor
who, by his monetary contribution
had MADE the institution possible.
The new clinic was not the gut OF
rich exploiter to his slaVes,--it was

medical organization of the factory
keeps health record of every worker
