A DEFINITE PROGRAM

The Priest Rapids irrigation district is now I'M
dertalling what is probably the most far-sighted
program since the properties acquired. With
comprehensive survey of the distribution system
and classification of all lands within the district,
data will be available at all times for the guidance
of future boards in following a definite program
Of development.
In order that landowners may benefit from the
operation Of the district the water rent must be
reduced each year until it has reached the lowest
economic level In order that this may be done,
more land must be brought under the ditch, and
before this is possible improvements to the pro-
perties are necessary.
During the past few years the equipment at the
power plant has been repaired and renewed until
now the district is able to receive fair income
from the sale of excess power. In the near future
the distribution system must be repaired and ex-
tended so that more land may be irrigated by the
district.
With this purpose in mind, the data that will
soon be available will be of inestimable benefit

Discussion Of Last Weeks True Falls
Horticultural Statements

Statement /. True. Apparently the
higher the osmotic concentration of
the fruit Juice or the greater the
amount Of sugar in solution therein,
the more turgid or less wilted the
cherries are, the higher the tempera-
ture Of the water, and the more per-
meable the skin, the greater the likeli-
hood Of more serious losses Of crack
ing from rains.
Statement 2. True. Apparently the
Bing tends to crack during rainy wea-
ther more readily and seriously than
do either the Lambert or Napolean
when all are subjected to similar con-
ditions. The skin of the Bing seems
to be more permeable to water than
do the skins of the two other var
ieties.
Statement 8. False. The truth is
that Vernes and Blodgett found UNI
der Idaho conditions that the use of
protective sprays, especially rosin fish
oil soap, gave negative results in avoid
ing cracking losses of cherries from
rains. It is possible, however, that fur
ther work with other spray materials
that might serve as protective COW
ering and thus reduce moisture absorb
ton through the skin of the cherry
would be of value.
True False Statements No. IA

Linen Made From Flax Plant

Linen is made from the fax plant,
either from the line fbers, which are
long, shiny and cylindric, or from the
tow fbers, which are short, rough
and easily broken. In selecting linen
by the yard, one may rayel out bit
and note the length, smoothness and
texture of the threads. For pieces
that are already made up, one must
depend on the reliability of the stamp.
ing and the reputation Of the firm.
There are three main weaves: single
damask, double damask and home
spun. Single damask is made by each
filling thread skipping four warp
threads and going under the fifth.
Double damask is made by each filling
thread skipping seven warp threads
and going under the eighth Double
damask is the stronger and has a
finer and smooth appearance and a
greater luster. Homespun weave is an
alternate over and under weave

purpose. 1t made many promises but
they were never fulfilled. Movies grew
worse and worse. Those that would
not be tolerated in an American thea
ter were sent to China and other for
eign countries. The sole object of
those who had charge of exporting
these pictures seemed to have been
the amount of money which the pic
ture could earn. The educational and
moral factor never entered their cal
culations. 1t seemed that the produc.
ers concluded that the public con
science had been completely calloused,
consequently their efforts to present
the grotesque and immoral became
holder and holder. All of a sudden
something happened. The mind of the
public spoke. These producers were
given something to think about. AS
one critic put it, "They've got it com
ing tu them"
There are many channels through
which the public conscience may
speak. The most effective is the one
through which this protest has come,
IAS OISdulZeu forces OF CHRISTIANITY.
Never in the history of modern times
have the different divisions of organ.
lied Christianity spoken more earnest
ly or unitedly on any moral issue The
Roman Catholic, the Jewish and the
entire Protestant world have arisen in
vigorous protest, saying you have
gone far enough you can go no farth-
er, we declare moratorium, or better
still, a complete elimination of the i'm
moral picture. These Christian forces
hold the balance of power. The pro-
ducers know that right well; so we
may soon expect better things for this
part Of our amusement program. The
movie may become an important
source Of great good. Perhaps that
day is near.
Why not go farther-why not have
concerted action against the immoral
element in all our yellow journalism,
our cheap vaudeville shows, etc. Why
not? When once the public conscience
becomes aroused, something is bound
to happen!

RUMoRs OF WAR

The pen is mightier than the sword, it is said
And so, too, is the tongue for had we believed all
we read and heard last weekend we would have
been periously close to another war.
Perhaps the danger of another war has not yet
been removed; perhaps it is coming soon And yet,
we cannot help but think that the more we talk of
war the more likely are to have one
With increasing rapdity during the past few
years, people have begun to think and talk about
war. With every piece Of international trouble
some predict war to follow. It is this state of
mind which makes war possible If we wish to
avert the danger of war should impart less
gravity to everyday current events.

National Biscuit was the heaviest
loser, being down 214 points at a

in the issue followed reduction in
the dividend rate from 10 cents TO

Du Pont declined more than
