of the National Unemployment Service

such offices placements will be made.
The Veterans Division of the U. S.
Employment Service will be main

applications filed at the office OF the
Veterans Placement representative IN
Seattle are now being sent to the Re
employment offices nearest TO appn-

Community Hall At
WhiteBluffs Probable
CIVIL WORKS ADMINISTRATION
MAKES POSSIBLE LONG,
NEEDED PROJECT

A community hall-so something the
residents of White Bluffs have long
desired, and have long planned to have,
is now possibility, according to details
released by the new Civil Works Adj
ministration.
President Roosevelt's plan for taking
100000 men off public relief rolls at
the earliest possible moment required
the creation of the Civil Works Adj
ministration, but it involves no delay
whatever in Washington. Federal En-
Urgency Relief Administrator Harry L.
Hopkins was named director, and at
once notified relief organizations IN all
states, cities and counties, that the
same nationwide machinery would be
used which has been functioning IN
relif distribution. "The big factor" ne
said, sis to find projects that will put
people to work at once"
It is understood that such a project
as the building of a community hall IN
White Bluffs would be approved by the
county welfare board.
Since the government is supplying
funds for labor only, it will be neces-
sary, if this project is begun, for the
public-spirited residents of White
Bluffs to see that the money for ma
terials is raised
Two lots near the high school have
been donated on which the structure
may be started at once. No plans have
vet been made of the contemplated
building but if hall so by 100 feet in
size is built, it is estimated that about
1852 will be needed to purchase the ce-
ment with which to build the basement
and about that much additional to buy
lumber for the forms.
1t will be possible to construct the
basement at this time, lay the rough
flooring for the first floor, and cover
that with roofing paper until such time
as additional money is raised to COM
plete the building. This has been done
in several instances in nearby com
munities, and has proved entirely salts
factory.
The basement would be divided into
rooms, to be used by civic organizations
of the community for club rooms, while
with the use of finished flooring, thu
first floor could be used in the summer
time as an open-air dance pavilion ant
for other purposes.
Since no definite plans have beer
made, and since no organization
sponsoring this project, the Spokesman
urges that, to expedite plans and pu
men to work soon, all who are inter
ested in such building bring sugges
lions for raising the money or for de
tails of the structure to the Spokesma
office. We will see that these are place
in the hands of the proper officials.

FARMERS SOW
SWEET CLOVER
Because of It's Volume For
Pasture and Dairy Food;
Seeding Early
LARGER ACREAGE SEEN

In connection with the program
for the improvement of the pasture
and hay crops in Kent county spec
ial attention has been given by
County Agent Russell E. Wilson
during the past five years to the
cultural requirements of sweet
clover since it is well adapted to
the different types of soil, and it
also has very high value as a
suitable pasture for dairy cattle
and other livestock. AS sweet Glow
er is primarily a pasture crop, it
is not generally used for hay be-
cause of the coarseness of the
plant, although it may be cut for
hay about the first week in Sep
tember of the same year in which
it is seeded, provided that it has
had normal growing season and
the plants are not so coarse in tex
ture as to render the hay unpalat-
able. The seed may be sown in
either the spring or the fall, but
for this section of the United
States the spring seeding is advis-
able. Unhulled seed is sown prin-
cipally in Kentucky, Alabama and
Mississippi, as the limestone soils
of those regions appear to be ma
turally adapted to this clover. A
large percentage Of the unhulled
seed sown in the South is seeded
during January and the first part
of February with satisfactory re
suits, but good stands are seldom
obtained from unhulled seed south
of the latitude of Washington,
ID. c., when the seed is sown later
than the middle of February. Since
the use of unhulled seed has usual
ly been attended with failure in the
northern sections of the United
States, farmers in this area have
been advised to use the hulled seed
which is the kind most generally
sold throughout the country as a
whole. The usual rate of seeding
is from 15 to 20 pounds per acre,
although this quantity may be re-
duced if alsike or timothy should
be mixed with the sweet clover as
a means of providing an earlier
pasture than this clover will furn-
ish the first year when seeded
alone Sweet clover that is sown
this spring will not make sufficient
growth to permit its being pas
tured until the latter part Of Aug
ust or the first week in September,
but the following spring the crop
will be ready for pasturing by the
first or second week in May. Lime
and sed incubation are two very
important factors in the successful
culture Of sweet clover, and it is
also a recognized fact that good
seed is the basis of profitable re
turns from any crop, and this is
true especially with regard to Glow
er seed. For this section of the
United States it is recommended
that the white blossom variety be
used. IF the market price for
Smyrna times., 1933-03-22

whole milk continues to decline in
this area, dairylnen will be forced
to consider more than ever before
the growing of those pasture and
hay crops which will result in the
lowering of the cost of producing
milk, and sweet clover and alfalfa
seem to be one of the answers to
this problem. More farmers in
Kent county each year are making
use of these legumes, as indicated
by the increased acreage of these
crops along with other clovers.

UNSOLVED FARM RELIEF

UNSULNE ED FARM RELIEF
Reappearance of the allot-
ment plan for the solution of
the farm relief problem, as a
part Of President Roosevelt's
program for immediate ac-
tion, has provoked immediate
challenge, and the situation
does not appear to differ
greatly from that which
brought failure on its previ-
GUS submission to Congress.
Professors throughout the
country, in all lines which are
likely to be affected by the
plan as proposed, are prompt
to make their protest. They
are to pay, in the first in
stance, the tax out Of which
the subsidy for the farmer is
to be gathered. They are sup
posed to collect that tax from
the consumers, but they say
that would be an impossible
ity.
Representatives Of the pack
ers declared Friday that if the
probable taxes to be required
by this bill were assessed up
on the consumers, the cost of
pork products would be in
creased so per cent, beef and
mutton SO per cent, flour 60
per cent, bread 20 to 80 per
cent, butter 100 per cent, and
milk from Is to 20 per cent.
Such increases in the cost of
food would be more than the
traffic could bear.
Those figures are given for
what they may be worth. The
effect Of providing this sub
sidy for the farmer, arbitrar-
lily increasing the price for his
product to establish a dollar
parity with the 19O9-13 condi-
ton, will be to increase the
cost of necessary food supply
for the individual home and
consumer throughout the
country. The advocates Of
the bill estimate that its prob
eble cost 70 the consumers Will
BE IN the vicinity Of S8OO,O00,-
900 a year, and the only of
set to that bill of expense for
a nation of consumers already
hard pressed is the pleading
that it will make farming
more profitable, increase the
purchasing power Of the farm,
create demand for manufac-
tured goods, which will mean
more and better wages for
the industrialist consumer.
President Roosevelt recog-
nizes that it is but an expert
ment. He is hopeful concern
ing it. Congress already has
shown itself to be doubtful
and hesitating. A varied com
pany Of industrial and com
mercial leaders and many eco
nomists are distinctly oppos-
ed to it. - Philadelphia Bull
