Attendance at Institute
Ruled Optional This Year

Attendance of the fall teachers in
stitute has been made optional for
teachers in the Benton county schools.
The county commissioners have been
unable, under their economy program,
to provide the necessary funds for this.
Attendance has heretofore been COM
pulsory; but Olaf Strandwold, county
superintendent of schools, has an
nounced that this fall the requirement
will be lifted and attendance will be
optional for all but those teachers on
the program.
superintendent c. M. Nelson states
that none of the White Bluffs teachers
will go. Neither will they take advant-
age of visiting day. They are planning
however, to attend the Inland Empire
meeting held in the spring. Two o.
three of the days usually taken by tn
fall institute and visiting day will b.
spent in Spokane in April.

Turkey Growers To
Meet This Month
BY County Agent E. G. Durdle

Because of the fact that quite few
of the turkey growers have expressed
the feeling that the turkey killing and
dressing demonstration meetings held
in the past have been of too short
duration, it is being planned this year
that the meetings will be heightened
considerably and fewer meetings held.
It is planned that two meetings will
be held in the county, one at Ken
newick, October 80, and one at Pros
ser, October 81. The meeting will prob
ably start at 10 o'clock in the morn-
ping. Everyone attending should bring
a lunch of sandwiches and any dessert
that they wish, and coffee will be
served at the meeting place. The meet
ing will extend into the afternoon un-
til all questions that the people may
have are cleared up.
Mr. Mitchell, grower at Sunnyside,
will be present to demonstrate proper
methods in killing and dressing. D. B.
Leonard agricultural agent with the
P. p. 81 l.. company, will be present
to demonstrate semi-scalding method
of dressing. Others present and hav-
ing part in the program will include
Ray Darling, manager of the Yakima
branch of the COOPERATIVE Egg and
Poultry association, and E. G. Durdle
county extension agent. Definite an
nouncement of meeting places will be
made later.

] Planting of Windbreaks :
Advised by Farm Leaders

Farmers cutting down on productive
acreage should use some of the land
taken out of production for shelterbelts,
woodlots and erosion prevention plant
ings, says G. Svendby, department of
forestry and range management at
Washington State college.
AS the land used for tree paintings
must be set aside permanently, great
care should be taken in selecting the
areas so that they will not interfere
with other areas on the farm used for
annual crops A shelterbelt consisting
of five rows of trees will occupy an
area of about one acre.
The Caragana, also called Siberian
Pea Tree, Russian Olive, Black Locust,
Green Ash, and White Ash are suitable
for shelterbelt planting In most of the
eastern Washington counties. The most
efficient windbreak consists of about
three rows of deciduous trees on the
windward side and about two rows of
evergreens on the leeward side.
The deciduous trees grow much faster
than the evergreens do and will give
some protection in three years time,
explains Mr.. Svendby. The deciduous
trees are usually planted year or more
in advance of the evergreens. SO that
the evergreens will have some prOtec-
ton while getting started. This also
means smaller outlay of money to
establish the Windbreak because the
seeding sizes of deciduous trees are
used, while from to 4-year-old tram
splants are necessary in the evergreens
A three-row planting of deciduous
seedlings 1000 feet in length, would
require 1000 trees which would cost SIS
plus the express charges.
A woodlot should be found on every
farm in eastern Washington. The Black
Locust is common tree and Is selectee
because of it's rapidity of growth, hardi-
ness and adaptability to almost any
planting condition. The wood is durable
in contact with the soil and Is uset
extensively for fence posts.
According to Mr.. Svendby, woodlot
I. should be planted on steep north slope
that are difficult to farm, clay points
=, and in old corners. A planting with tn
!. trees set feet apart will require tn
purchase of more than thousand tree
y per acre at SIS per thousand
The planting Of trees to proven
t erosion is particularly adapted to Ian
e that is steep or that has been quilted s
n it cannot be reclaimed. The interlacin
root system of the Black Locust will al
g in the prevention of washing.
s Trees suitable for paintings are ava
: liable from the Federal-State Fore
:, Tree Nursery at Washington State co
e lege. Inquiries concerning shelterbelt
,r woodlots or erosion prevention plan
lie ings should be sent to the departmei
,e of forestry and range management
State College of Washington.

Eggs Lead Advance in
Prices of Farm Products

Ranch products are again showing
some increase in price, with eggs being
most prominent in the rise
Seattle retailers are paying 81 and 81
cents a dozen for extras. Standards are
costing them 20 cents, brown standards
the same, mediums % and pullet No.
is, 16 and II cents.
At the ranch door dealers are paying
q cents for extras, "a cents Tor STAN
dards, Is cents for mixed STANDARDS,
18 for mediums, 16 for mixed mediums
and IL cents for No. ! pullets. Local
retailers are paying % cents for STAN
dards
One factor stimulating prices, reports
say, has been that withdrawal OF eggs
from storage has been running far In
excess Of expectation.

Crop Surplus
ToCive Relief
To Distressed
GOVERNMENT WILL BUY Ar COST
TO ASSIST IN CARE OF POOR
-. THIS WINTER

SURPRISES of various farm products
will be purchased through special
unit Of the agricultural adjustment adj
100000 families of various relief rolls,
in cooperation with the federal emer-
gency relief administration, according
to word received from Washington, D.
G. by F. E. Balmer, agricultural extern
sion director, Washington State college.
Among the commodities mentioned for
possible purchase are dairy products,
poultry and poultry products, hogs, cot
ton, cattle, fruits and vegetables, and
grains.
Economists on the staff of the adj
ministration point out that the plan is
not mere diversion of farm products
from one channel to another, but will
actually make possible a consumption
of goods in addition to the amount
which would otherwise be distributed
and sold this winter. Because of mad
equate funds, they declare, standards of
relief have been at the bare subsistence
level, and persons on relief rolls have
not been consuming all that they might
either in quantity or variety of food.
At the same time efforts will be made
to prevent accumulation of surpluses so
great they can not be consumed, either
in domestic or foreign markets.
Officials point out that, paradoxical
as it may seem, the present undercon-
sumption of agricultural products is a
direct result of their over production.
Increase in production of farm COM
modities during and after the War led
to the fall in farm prices and sharply
curtailed the purchasing power of far
mers. This in turn lowered demand for
non agricultural products, throwing
men out of work and decreasing their
ability to purchase the products Of the
farms.
Possible sources of funds for purchase
of commodities include processing taxes
levied under the adjustment act, funds
appropriated by the emergency relief
act and loans from the reconstruction
finance corporation.
Processing taxes, such as are already
in effect on cotton wheat and hogs
will be levied to pay the farmers. Pack.
ing houses and mills will process Al
cost the products going into relic
channels. Products on which process
ing taxes cannot logically be leviet
will be bought outright Manufacturer
will be asked to produce goods withou
profit. It is estimated that 100000,
900 can be raised by So processin
tax on hogs, $1O0,0OO,OOO on cattle, an
other products in proportion. The Cor
poration also will buy and distribute
all through the channels now used fc
relief, coal and clothing in its two
way program of caring for the need
while depicting SURPRISES.
Administration officials hold that be
cause of serious Embellishments, cor
troll of production of farm commoditit
and bringing supplies into line with dt
mand, gives the only permanent answt
to the problem.

"No Sweatshop Easter"

Intelligent American women will heed Mrs Rooseveit's warning about sweatshop Easter finery. Frances Perkins, now Seere- tary of Labor, has been talking about the same thing for some time, though not with special reference to Easter shopping. It is time for economy, for thrifty shopping, for honest bargains. But the buyer with any social conscience will not want the bargains which have resulted from sweatshop labor. grossly underpaid and cruelty overworked in unhealthful surroundings.
 It IS hard to be sure about the conditions under which a garment has been made. Mrs Roosevelt found that there is no complete list now of places where Consumers League standards for hours and wages are lived up to- In her own shopping she has taken to asking store proprietors about their goods and IS compiling white list of her own. She suggests that other women do this as they buy their spring clothes. Such persist ent inquiring will show merchants that the public IS interested in the subject and will encourage those who have been struggling to maintain standards.
 A womans trade union league conference, to be held soon in New York, will study the establishment of label system to show that garments have been made under reason able working conditions. A battle for such conditions. fought and won few years ago, must now be fought again. It is fight in which every thoughtful American man and woman ought to join with good heart and determination.

Bank Reforms

The proposed separation of security bank ing from commercial banking should inn prove both. Controlled by new regula- tons, the former should rise to greater dig nity and respect taking pride in the sound ness of the securities it offers Commercial banks themselves, set loose from their se curity affiliates. and having no further in- terest in promoting the sale of any securities should gain in prestige. And commercial banks in general should regain considerable business that has been drifting away from them.
 During the recent boom, it became too easy for corporations to raise funds by float ing bond issues. They often borrowed in this way, from the investing public. more money than they needed, and used it to overextend their plants and equipment. When hard times came. they found them- selves burdened with heavy fixed charges. They were encouraged in this extravaganza by investment bankers who profited by sell ing their bonds Hereafter. they may re- turn for many of their loans, to the banks. And the commercial banks, having no such incentive to lure them into unwise debt. may do both borrowers and themselves service by moderate loans not built into the corporations capital structure.

Kosciusko Of Lithuania

The question of the nationality of Thad deus Kosciusko. who fought so bravely for the American cause in the Revolutionary War. has long been moot question. How lever, 1t is becoming more widely known that in reality Kosciusko was not the Polish patriot of our history and reference books in fact, but in name. In other words Kos ciusko performed noble deeds of valor in the field of battle while serving in the Polish army. but he was not a Pole by birth, breed ing or inclination. He was first last, and always Lithuanian. In Waterbury nobody has done more to bring this to the attention of the people than the Rev John Kripas of St. Joseph's church.
 On several occasions Father Kripas has protested mildly the coupling of Kosciusko's name with the adjective Polish. Of course. there was no deliberate intent to change the nationality of the great war hero. It was simply a confusion of facts. The average American citizen probably never knew that Kosciusko was born of noble Lithuanian family. It remained for those interested in him to bring forth these facts and to cor rect an impression that had been allowed to exist for century or more. For the benefit of all concerned it is only right that Kos ciusko's true nationality should be stressed
 In recent copyrighted pamphlet Thomas ehamis has presented brief life study of fbsddeus Koseiusko. tracing bis romantic lEssr from cradle to grave It is an spprs- dative discourse on brave patriot who per formed many acts of courage and eoun-

Today is scheduled to be another big day in the life of Senator George W. Norris. The bill authorizing government operation of Muscle Shoals as well as development of the Tennessee river valley was to be introduced today. President Roosevelt is in favor of the proposed measure and has promised the South that he will do all in his power to push through legislation which is believed to have far-reaching effects for the southern states east of the Mississippi. Reforestation, power development, flood control, elimina- ton of marginal lands, and navigation aids are among the features of the bill to be known as the Tennessee Valley Authority" Here's luck.

Cars Wrong End To

A typical sedan car, says William B. Stout. automobile and airplane builder. would run faster backward than forward with the same power, because of less wind resistance. Apparently either the body or the chassis should be turned around. Add to such reversal change of the sedan body to the 'teardrop" form. says Walter T. Fish leigh, another automotve engineer and you could cut the total wind and road resist ance half, doubling the miles per gallon.
 It seems strange to the non-expert oo- server that this teardrop principle turns the bulge forward instead of the small end. Nearly everyone naturally thinks it should be the other way. But nature evidently knew what she was doing when she gave fishes bigger heads than tails. The secret seems to be in this fact. that wind resistance or water resistance isn't so much push as drag, operating mainly as suction at the rear instead of pressure in front
 The working out of this principle is shown clearly in the shape of modern air planes. It has yet to be applied in automo- piles When it is applied as it doubtless will be within few years, we shall probably have the bulge of the body set well forward and the motor Tn the rear where 1t ought to be anyway for other reasons. We shall probably find that arrangement much pleas anter, as well as more efficient. when we get used to it. There will be less noise and smell and better visibility.

Chicago's Exposition
French Government Errs in Saying Uncle Sam Is
 Not Financially Interested
NEW YORK TIMES

commerce, the interior, navy, labor, the treasury, war, justice and the postoffice will be repre- scented by exhibits, and with them the Smithsonian Institution, the shipping board, the government printing office, the library of congress and other government institutions and activities. It can not therefore he said that the United States government IS show ing little interest in this elaborate centennial celebration of the rise of this continents interior capital.
 As to other countries, it is true that many governments will not be represented, but it is not from lack of interest of desire on their part. In the case of France there is a special reason why she of all European countries should have a place in this exposition, for it was her pioneers who evoked the very site of Chicago from the unknown. More than two and a half centuries ago Pere Marquette, son of Laon, was "the first of known white men to pass that way" His cabin where he spent months in sickness in the winter of 1873 was the first house in the city that has now more than 100000 inhabitants. And Joliet, who accompanied him on his Upper Mississippi voyage, became the first prophet of a city that should some day rise on this portage and stand by a Lakes.to- the-Gulf waterway. If France can do nothing else she should send who gave the past to Chicago and so should have 8 proud part in its present.

So much SO that there is well-foundcd movement afoot to scrap them in the in- terests of economy and substitute therefor central jail farm. Perhaps one or two of the more modern institutions would be saved as detention centers but the majority would be razed. The Rev John Milton Phillips. pastor of the Center Church of Hartford. is the latest critic. He said last week that Tt fills my soul with misery to go down to the Seyms Street jail and talk religion to those men. when everything l am trying to teach is denied by the surroundings. He referred to the Hartford county jail, said to be the worst in the state even by Chief Justice Maltbie of the state supreme court. In view of this general opposition we see no alternative for the state but eventual serapping.

The French finance minister must, in all fairness, find some other reason than the one he gave for opposing an appropriation by the chamber of deputies for an exhibit at Chicago's Century of Progress Exposition. He stated in support of his position a few days ago in the chamber that an earlier cabinet had refused credits for this purpose on the ground that "the United States government itself was showing little interest in it" and that numerous Euro pean countries would not be repre- all the adverse economic conditions are taken into account, it is sur- prising that our government has taken so generous an interest in this great undertaking, which will be ready before the scheduled opening date, June l, 1883.
