TWO MILLION
ACRES OFWHEAT
UNDER AAA ACT
Engineers Coming to Measure
Areas on Farms Carrying
Federal Contracts; Ask Coop
Grafton of Farmers

Archie M. Camp, prominent La
Crosse wheat growers, president OF
the Whitman County Wheat Produc-
ton Control association, has been ap-
pointed state compliance agent for
Washington by the wheat section of
the agricultural adjustment admins
tration, according to word received by
Waldo w. Skuse, county agent. Mr..
Camp will direct the checking Of H.
600 wheat adjustment contracts, rep
resenting approximately 100000
acres of wheat land.
"Wheat growers under adjustment
contracts can help in the checking Of
their fields in three ways" says Mr..
Camp. 'They should be at home on
the day Of inspection, they should have
the contracted acres staked out, pre-
ferably with stakes that show above
the wheat, and they can speed up the
checking by accompanying the sur
veying crews.
county compliance units have
been set up in practically all of the
% wheat counties, and local men are
being hired to make up the field
crews as much as possible"
In order to get quick accurate
check on acreage in Benton county,
competent engineer will be employ
ed, who will use a transit equipped
with stadia hairs. He will be assist
ed by rodman handling stadia
rod. The farmer whose land is being
measured is expected to be with this
crew and help to hurry up the process
as much as possible by providing
transportation for the rodman from
point to point. Four different rod
men will be used, one each from Do.
Gust Grove, Western Horse Heaven
Eastern Rattlesnake and Western
Rattlesnake. These rodmen will BIZ
men from the respective localities anC
familiar with the territory and tht
field notes will be brought to the
County Extension office where areas
will be calculated. One of the foul
district re-check engineers of the stat,
working directly under the AAA, viii
arrive shortly and will check enough
of the local surveys to insure theil
accuracy. Meanwhile, record sheets
will be sent to the various member
of the Wheat Association to be file,
out, showing their compliance will
the AAA program.
| There have been several inquire
as to the measurement of land befor'
hay would be cut or grain would b,
harvested. The suggestion on thi
is for the farmer to go right ahea'
with his field work as the demands o
the crops would indicate, cutting hi
hay where he chooses. The measure
ments can be taken afterwards wher
necessary.

EDIT O r l A L

Tho value of the local cam
norv to the community is
a atrikingly shown in the light
If Of the prices received for the
~ crons which have been har-
vested since the asparagus.
IN general the prices h ave
been he but little better t h q n
those received last year. The
exception was the asparagus.
Pased ON last years receipts
for the grass, the cannery has
i heen directly responsible for
growers receiving $65, 600 to
100000 more for their crop
This year than last. When the
markets threatened to sag,
shippers only needed to say
that the stuff could be taken
from the markets and sent to
the cannery, and Immediately
the prices were strengthened.
Il made the green grass sea-
son an exceptionally long one
40 3 result-the cannery itself
suffering thereby-while the
growers profited.
This angle of the cannery
deal here is one to be serious
IL considered by the growers
in the future, if the plant is
TO continue to thrive. In the
LIGHT of this experience, it is
too bad that the berry grow
ers, the cherry and spud
growers could not have the
same weapon with which to
bolster UP their prices.

NONEED TO WORK
FINITIATTVE75
GETS CARRIED
Proposed Unemployment Mea-
sure Read Before Kiwanis
Club; Provisions Will Make
State Mecca for Buns

The state of Washington will be-
com e. temporarily, perhaps - an
Utopia for buns and lazy workers
from all parts of the United States if
Initiative Is receives the approval of
a majority of. the voters of this state
this fall. .ass. I'D.
The bill creates special fund of
$100, 100000 to be given to anyone
who can't, doesn't want to, or is un-
able to work, in addition to free med
ical and disqualification services to
all. Under its provisions, everyone ex-
cept an employer, may receive a
weekly check from the state, in many
cases sufficiently large to preclude
any need for work. The bill is quite
vague as to where this vast sum is to
be secured and how it is to be main
tanned, but it was drawn by the I'm
employed League and will be one of
the measures to be voted upon at the
fall election.
The bill was read before the Kiwan-
is club and a number of guests at the
regular meeting Tuesday by County
Prosecutor Charles L.. Powell. The
club is sponsoring study and dis
cussion of the measures which will
come before the electorate this fall
and this feature was the first in the
series. This bill is so preposterous
that it required no discussion, the
members and guests being aghast at
the proposition.
Another Of the proposed initiatives
will be discussed at a meeting in the
near future.

URGE PROTEST
AGAINST JUTE !,
TAX: SUMMERS
Bag Tax Will Cost Farmers Of
State Nearly Half Million;
Unjust One

! sKeep up the battle. We will get
relief no other way" says former
Congressman John w. Summers, who
is pressing for relief to producers and
consumers from the jute tax burden.
Gone farmer tells me his jute bag
tax this year will be $500, and an
other says he will pay 5000. The
jute bag tax of an average farmer
would clothe the family for year.
This tax will cost the producer and
consumer cent a bushel on every
thing that goes into a jute bag. Every
farmer can, figure it for himself"
As to the several industries, Con-
gresham Summers says, The jute
bag tax Of two and two-tenths cents
per bag will cost the grain growers
of this state 100000 year and the
potato growers $4,000 while the on
ion growers will pay $4,000 of this
tax.
"Our farmers are now struggling
for their economic existence. They
should not be called upon to carry ad-
ditional burdens. We are informed
that the jute bag wrappings Of cot
ton bales and for some other wrap
pings are exempt. The grain, pea
and bean and vegetable growers of
the Pacific Northwest have from
time immemorial used jute bags and
have never used cotton bags and can
not use them economically.
Harvest will soon be upon as
said DR.. Summers. "We regard the
tax imposed upon jute bags used In
this state and the Northwest as an
unjust and unwarranted burden upon
our farmers and earnestly protest
against such tax. All farm organi-
cations, jute bag dealers, individual
farmers, civic organizations and the
press of the state should join in i'm
mediate protest to the Secretary d
Agriculture, Washington, D. c. The
matter is so vital and urgent that tel.
egraph and airmail should be used.
am not discussing the merits Of any
program, but the merits in this case
are so clearly and Enthusiastically OF
our side we should continue to wage I
ceaseless battle until the jute bag t.,
is removed from our industries"

FOR MORGAN s

The sponsor of the season IS most
exclusive debutante party not only
refused to give out a list of his
guests to society editors, but also
did his best to keep them from
getting one. Such occurrences are
unusual in New York society.
The sponsor was j. P. Morgan,
one of the richest men in the
world, who cares little for the Gus
toms and prejudices of formal So
ciety.
He gave little party for his de-
butante granddaughter, Louise
Morgan, last night at his town.
house where 500 guests danced and
a score or SO private detectives
watched for gate crashers and So
ciety editors.
It was the first ball in the Nor
gan palace in 10 years or more.
Guests included some 200 of Miss
Morgan's friends and 300 of Nor
gan's associates and the family IS
friends and relatives.
No persons who entered the por-
tails would describe in detail what
occurred because of Morgan's an
nouncement that he wanted no
publicity. But they did say it was
a every, nice party" that the
flowers were gorgeous; that the
music was "grand and stately; -
and that the buffet supper served
after several hours of dancing was
everything a Morgan buffet supper
should be.
The flowers were trucked in from
the Morgan estate at Glen Cove,
Long Island. They were festooned
over the walls of the wood-paneled
library. That room had been
cleared of furniture and its floor
was highly waxed for the dancing.

valorem a horrible bugaboo, but
his views are not shared by the
administration, where the attitude
seems to be: "avoid the ad valor-
EN- above all else"
Talk of a special election to re-
tain utility taxes for the state be-
came more noticeable when some
one discovered that the legislature
probably could call an election and
specify what matters should ap-
pear on the ballot.
Previously, officials feared a
special election because an initia-
tive measure providing for a single
tax and repeal of the sales tax has
qualified for the ballot. Stockbur-
ger said he believed it possible,
however, to avoid the danger of
sales tax repeal or other initiative
proposals by having the legisla-
ture, rather than the governor, call
an election.
The legislature propaply will be
called upon TO decide the issue
whether to have an election and
ask the people to let the state re-
tain the utility taxes for another
two years. or permit fulfillment
of the Riley-Stewart plan, and
necessitate the levy of an ad val
orem, emergency tax on property.
