It is pointed out that, had it not
been for the drought, the 1,000,00
extra acres of wheat planted by nom

the market price and the adjustment

drought, however, nature curbed pro-

mates and thus prices were unaffected
by the chiselling minority.

prove establishment of permanent

Steps numbered tho and three
are to authorize a continuing public
1Dorks program to spend as high as
$4,000, 900, 900 q year for 10 years,
and to authorize a land retirement

is that the Federal Government

None of this is very radical and
bears no more relation to the Russian
f1ve-year plan than the New Deal bears
to Communism. The Roosevelt plan
ners do not, of course, seek to take
over any private property excepting
those waste lands which nobody wants
anyway. In the words Of one of
them, what they hope to do is to plan
for depressions just as the Army plans
for war.
This planner explains q really rad
ical approach would not even admit
the possibility of recurrence of de-
pressions, yet this admission is i'm
plicit in the boards whole program.
In a word, the report outlines a con-
servation program.
Much of the report was couched in
such general terms as to be largely
meaningless until clarified by publica-
ton of the detailed reports on which
its conclusions are based. For in
stance, in all its talk of public works,
the board barely touched on the moot
housing subject.
Timing Again Perfect.
New Deal publicists again displayed
their talents for timing in releasing
the Natural Resources Board report
on the very day that the Nations
leading business men had gathered at
that West Virginia spa to form their
own recovery program.
Those big public porks figures in
the headlines, plus the Labor Ad-
uisory Boards report demanding
more say for labor in N. r. A., told
the business men in Dery plain Ian
guage that sentiment in Washing

the continuing pressure on the Whits

Orchardists Fight
Freight Rate Boost
John Larrabee Will Represent
Growers AT l. C. C. Hear
ing Soon

Objections of Okla
hogan district orchardists to pro-
posed increase in railroad freight
rates will be carried to the Inter-
state Commerce commission at a
hearing to be held in the near
future, by John Larrabee, promin-
ent Pateros fruit grower, it was
announced Tuesday at Wenatchee.
Mr.. Larrabee Is president of both
Growers and Shippers, Inc, and of
the board of directors of the Wen
atchee Production Credit associa-
ton. Two years ago he went to
Washington where he appeared be-
fore special board, which included
former President Coolidge, AL
Smith and Clark Howell, which was
studying the transportation prob
lem.
His efforts in behalf of the grow
ers are declared to have forestalled
proposals which would have def
nitely harmed the fruit industry.
Will Give Growers Views
II intend to present the freight
rate matter from the growers
standpoint" Mr.. Larrabee said this
week. II feel that I have acquired
broad knowledge of the average
growers condition from work on
the loan board of the Pea. 1t seems
to me that the I. G. G. should know
that any raise in freight rates, as
far as the fruit industry is con-
cerned, will he taken from people
who have little equity, if any, left
in their ranches"
At the present time the carriers
are presenting testimony upholding
their freight rate proposal to the
commerce commission. After two
weeks elaboration on the railroads
testimony, the I. G. G. will recon-
vene to hear arguments opposing
the increases.

WASHINGTON FEED SUPPLY
AMPLE FOR DROUTH CATTLE

Washington can feed $4,000 to
100000 head of cattle from the
drouth sections for the coming
month or two if necessary, using
only surplus hay and pasture, &C
cording to a state survey completed
under Bhe direction of F. E. Balmer,
state college extension service di-
rector. While only 10000 head OF
drouth cattle, as yet, have been al
lotted to the state by the federal
government, this number may be
Increased if the forage situation in
the middle west remains serious.
Surveys made by county agricul-
tural agents in western Washing
ton counties show that pastures are
about normal with the hay crop
above normal in nearly every Sec
ton. There is a possibility of using
some cut-over land for grazing and
some surplus feed being produced in
the irrigated sections.
Conditions of the higher ranges in
central Washington due to the alb
sence of snow has been below nor
NAL most of the past summer, with
some improvement coming with fall
rains. The lower ranges are in fair
condition and a normal amount of
pasture is found in the irrigated
valleys. A surplus Of hay in many
sections would provide feed for a
large number of cattle for a tenn:
porary feeding period.
Eastern Washington will be able
to feed the largest number of
drouth cattle because stubble fields
give promise of providing more pas
ture than for some years and there
is a surplus of wheat hay in most
counties. Severe shattering of wheat
during harvest, followed by early
fall rains will supply extended tenn
porary pasture throughout this area.
Some drouth cattle are already
moving into several western Wash
ington counties and the movement
should rapidly increase until the
quota is reached.

HIGHER FEED PRICES
CREATE POULTRY PROBLEM

Poultrymen expecting to make
money during the coming year must
do everything possible to get full
return on the feed used in produce
ton, declares w. D. Buchanan, state
college extension poultryman. AL
though both feed and egg prices
are now relatively high, the price
of eggs will remain at the peak only
during the winter months while
feed prices are nearly always high
during winter months of low pro-
duction and begin slumping in the
spring as production increases.
Every particle of feed must be
used to advantage in increasing
growth, maintaining body weight
and producing eggs, if a profit is to
be made. No poultryman can af-
ford to support common parasites
such as round worms, tape worms,
or coccidia. These consume valu-
able feed but give nothing in re-
turn. Nothing reduces egg produce
ton or saps the vitality of a flock
more quickly than infestation with
parasites.
Round and tape worms feed on
re-digested food in the intestinal
tract and cause chickens to become
light in weight and cause pale
combs, shanks and faces. Both par
asites are easily controlled if proper
measures are taken. Some stand
ard form of nicotine used according
to directions destroys round worms.
Kamala is the approved drug for
Kidding birds of tape worms.
While coccidiosis has been hard
to control until recently, the EPSON
Salts and milk diet treatment is
now almost universally accepted and
produces excellent results Flocks
having chronic coccidiosis are light
in body weight, poor layers and
lack vigor and vitality.

"This new requirement that the

the three-fifths majority provision,

Plan To Change
Game Preserves
State Commission To Reduce
Number And Increase
Size

Expecting to reduce the costs and
increase efficiency OF enforcement
activities at and near the hundreds
of game preserves in the state, the
state game commission is planning
to reduce the number of preserves
and increase the size of those re-
mairi ing.
Explaining the plan, G. A. Staple
ton, Omak member of the commits
SION, said yesterday that all the
game preserves are being mapped
preparatory to making sweeping
changes in the present setup. He
declared that one county at present
contains 200 small game refugees,
some of them no larger than 10
acres.
Will Post Notices
When the boundary lines are fin
ally established on the larger pre-
serves, the state will properly post
them and furnish adequate policing
forces, he said. Decision to alter
the boundaries of the closed areas
was reached by members of the
commission at a meeting this week
at Seattle, from which Mr.. Staple
ton returned Wednesday evening.
The commissioner also stated that
10000 catfish and bass have been
planted in the Okanogan river be-
tween Omak and Okanogan, the fish
ranging from two to eight inches in
length. Both species are particular
ly hardy.
During the Seattle meeting the
game officials officially approved
the migratory bird hunting dates
established recently by the U. S.
biological survey.
