Many Northwest Firms
Are Enrolled in NRA

Virtually $4,000 business firms OF
Washington, Montana and Wyoming
have signed the Presidents agreement,
bringing approximately 225,O00 workers
under the Blue Eagle, it is shown by
week-end compilations in the of1Gasdf
District Manager Shirl H. Blalock.
For Washington the total is $4,000
agreements signed, Montana $500, and
Woyoming 1000. Seattle shows more
than 10000 agreements, Tacoma about
1000, and Spokane more than 3,OOo'
The rate at which the district Office
is now receiving agreements has de-
clined from an average Of about 5oO
daily for the first half of September
to little more than 100 daily.
A peculiar phase of the situation is
revealed in receipt by the district
Office of some $500 more certificates OF
compliance than signed copies OF tne
Presidents agreement.
It is pointed out by District Manager
Blalock that the signed compliance
certificate has little or no significance
in the absence of an approved cooe
without the organization having signed
the Presidents agreement. Firms under
such circumstances having not signed
the agreement must remain IN tne
status of not operating under the Blue
Eagle, he declares

Karl Becht Finds Dog
In Lonely Desert Stretch

On the lonely stretch of road between
Cold Creek and Barrel Springs one
might expect to see coyote or stray
lamb, perhaps even rattlesnake, but
certainly not little white foxterrier
insouciantly strolling in the sagebrush
beside the road
Fortunately for the little dog, Karl
Becht, who was returning from trip
to Yakima, saw him and called to him.
Overioyed, the dog came running and
leaped into the car, to be taken to
White Bluffs for the night. In the
morning his mistress, Mrs. Howard, OF
vernita, located him at the Becht
home.
Mrs. Howard had started for Sunny
side Wednesday morning and without
her knowledge Jackie, the fox terrier,
had followed the car. Running as fast
as he could it soon outdistanced him,
and by the time it was out Of sight ne
was quite lost. There was nothing for
Jackie to do but follow the road down
which Mrs. Towards car had gone
Owing to the kindness of Karl Becht
he is today happily at home, no longer
a little white dog lost in the desert.

Meat Packers
Code Refused
And Critic ised
CAVE NO PROMISE OF HIGHER
PRICES FOR PRODUCERS,
SAY ADMINISTRATORS

A report from the National Recovery
Administration states that the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Administration de-
cided upon rejection of the proposed
marketing agreement submitted by the
meat packers industry for two reasons:
Cd That the proposed agreement pro-
vided no assurance of better prices to
livestock producers, and 90 that 1t
lacked assurance against higher prices
for consumers.
Investigators under the direction OF
the consumers counsel recommended
that no agreement be approved which
would release meat packers from the
provisions of the anti trust laws unless
and until their accounts were laid open
to official inspection. Agricultural Adj
iustment Administration officials are
writing a new agreement, demanding
that accounts and records be made
accessible to the Secretary of Agricul-
ture.
There was criticism of the agreement
as submitted by the packers because it
"lacked specific indication OF what the
industry wishes to accomplish" Agri-
cultural Adjustment Administration
officials stated that "it would appear
most desirable for the public welfare
that the marketing agreement now pro-
posed by the meat-packing industry be
considered in the light of the indus
trv's public record"
AS submitted by their institute on be-
half of the members of the packing IN.
dustry, who control majority OF live.
stock processing plants, it provided fol
creation of committee of four mem
beers which would have broad powers II
dealing with the, industry and particu
larly in allocating supplies of livestocl
amongst packers. Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration is considering
proposal that representative OF con
sumers be added to the governing boar'
of the industry.

Three States Grow
90 Per Cent OF Peas

During recent years the states OF
Washington, Montana, and Idaho have
become important factors in the ripe
field pea industry, producing approx
mately go per cent of the national crop
in 1929, according to bulletin No. 287,
''The Feeding Value of Pea Feed and
Other Pea Products for Dairy Cows"
In these states the peas are grown pri-
marily for seed and for split peas used
in, home consumption ----s--4, e-,4-.--s-'.e
j. G. Knott, j. o. Tretsven and r. p.
Hodgson, all of the Washington State
College Dairy Department, are authors
of the recent publication which has just
come from the state college print shop.
Using pea straw and pea feed as
sources of feed, digestion experiments
were conducted with three two-year-
old Holstein heifers. Also feeding trials
were carried on with % producing COWS.
The feeding trials demonstrated that
pea feed is valuable source Of feed for
dairy COWS and may be substituted for
linseed oil meal and wheat bran in the
dairy ration where practically 60 per
cent of the grain mixture was pea feed
The pea feed used in the expert
ments was by-product of the pea
splitting industry and was composed OF
approximately so per cent each by
weight of pea hulls and weevil damaged
,,ooe IT. ,,ro,,od pa1atoh1a in all cases
The digestion experiments showed that
the pea feed contained 14.8 per cent oil
gestible crude protein and 1874 per cent
total digestible nutrients.
The feed as it is now on the market
is not uniform, and chemical analyst!
should be used as basis to estimate
the proportion of pea hulls to damaged
peas, according to the authors.
