AMENDMENT DRAWN
FOR AGE PENSION LAW
Montana Democrat Proposes Con-
stitutional Change to Permit
Passage.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
An amendment of the Constitution to
authorize Congress to pass old age pen
sion legislation is proposed in a reSolu-
tion which Representative Monaghan.
Democrat, of Montana is preparing for
introduction.
The resolution does not outline spe-
cific details of an old age pension plan,
since, as Monaghan explained, the le-
gality of a Federal old age pension law
would probably be questioned unless a
change is made in the Constitution.
Monaghan is studying several pro-
pOsals. He said he hoped it would be
possible eventually. to provide all needy
persons over the age of IS with pen
sion of 500 per month.

HARRIGAN TO
ASSIST FIGHT
ON 'HOPPERS

War to the death on grasshop-
pers was declared by Agricultural
Commissioner, B. A. Harrigan, be-
fore the meeting of the directors of
the Imperial County Farm Bureau
recently. This is to be done without
cost to farmers. Previously farmers
paid for the bran and poison, the
work being done by workers under
the CWA.
cost nothing. Bran and poison are
being furnished by the government.
This was procured when Har-
rigan applied for federal aid on
seeing that federal appropriations
had been made for the work in the
middle west section. AS a conse-
quence bran is being received by car
lots and distribution will begin
Monday. Labor will also be fur
niShed as before.
Farmers should cooperate in ev-
cry way with this eradication pro-
gram. The agricultural commission
er's office is doing all possible but
lacks sufficient force of men to
investigate all ranches. Requests for
poisoning should be made where the
grasshoppers are appearing.
According to Harrigan, poisoning
cannot be done after the alfalfa is
more than four or five inches tall.
1t can best be done between rak-
ing and the first irrigation. If the
hay is carefully raked in windrows
it can be distributed before baling
without any danger whatsoever.
A gopher eradication program is
also being contemplated by Harri-
gan, but this plan is not yet ready
for actual commencement.

Hope To Reduce Dairy
Output During Next Year

Forty four thousand Washington
dairymen may be affected by the dairy
production control program tentatively
outlined by Secretary of Agriculture
Henry A. Wallace. The tentative plan
is an individual voluntary farm allot-
ment proposal financed by a process
ing tax on all butterfat in milk and
It's products, with tax rate on oleo-
margarine equivalent to the tax rate
on butter
The goal sought is an Individual
reduction of Is per cent in milk and
butterfat produced for market in the
year ahead below the quantities sold
IN the past year. The plan is expected
to assure 10 per cent net reduction.
The method of securing reduction on
the farm would be left to Individual
producers. They will be compensated
with benefit payments or premiums on
sales on an agreed reduction basis I'M
der contract.
Each producer would have a quota
of total sales for the year, divided into
four parts. The amount of milk pro-
ducts in each quarterly division would

BACK TO NATURE

In line with the program of conservation of our
natural resources and the reclamation of our pub
lie domain, Secretary of the Interior Ickes is adj
vocating that 1884 be known as National Park
Year.
To the many who have stared at the depression
until they are unable to clearly, he is suggest
ing that they take vacation, that they lift their
gaze from charts and graphs and tabulations of
purchasing and selling factors and rest them upon
the lakes and streams, the forests and snow
capped peaks of our national Fairgrounds.
If, to most of us, trip to national park is
will-o' the wisp that has evaded us for years and
will, perhaps, for years to come, let us think of
those other regions of our country, once verdant
with green grass and wild flowers, populated with
wild game, but now laid bare by the hand of man.
Let us resolve to do our part in bringing back
these regions to a semblance of their one-ti1ne
grandeur, in which utility and beauty each has
it's rightful place. By the planting of shrubs and
trees, and the propagation of wild game, we
make of any country beauty spot. Perhaps the
wild grandeur of national park will be missing,
but the restfu beauty of nearby surroundings
will help us to forget the ills and disturbances
of the world at large, and bring contentment to
restless people.

Poultrymen's Records
Show Slight Increase

There was Slight upturn in the
net receipts of Washington poultry
men over the record low of 1882, ac-
cording to an analysis of 88 records
for the poultry year ending October,
1888, made by R. M. Turner, extension
economist at the state college. During
the past year poultrymen reduced net
costs of production, including depre-
citation, labor and other costs, from
10 cents per dozen in 1882 to 176 per
dozen in 1888. Feed costs were iden-
tical for both years at II cents per
dozen.
The poultry labor income per bird
increased from the low point of 20
cents per bird in 1882 to SO cents per
bird for the year 1888. The gross re-
ceipts per bird for 1888 were $3.O7
compared to $299 for the previous

BADLY NEEDED

The vital need of the North-South highway
as an important link in the road system Of this
state is fast becoming apparent to everyone
Perhaps the first person to realize this need
at least the first to pubicize the fact-was the
late Sam Hill, known as the father of good roads
in Washington who named the road the Every
Day Highway" since it is a road that will remain
open while other roads of the state are closed
due to weather conditions. Mr. Hill was one of
the outstanding citizens of the state and his con-
tributions to it's development will be recognized
for all time.
The United States War Department engineers
have frequently mentioned the need for this road
AS link in our national defense system it is most
important. When this road is completed, supplies
can be transported from the northern portion of
Washington to the northern portion Of California
without the need of crossing mountain passes, as
must be done any other north and south or
east and west highway. It is also water grade
highway, one over which traffic move with
ease.
Not the least of the needs for this road is the
transportation of farm products. Here in this val
ley, and in the lower Yakima valley, crops mature
from ten days to two weeks earlier than in other
sections of the Northwest. TO the north of us, in
the Wenatchee country there is a large market
for these products, large volume Of which are
now taken there by freight which must cross the
Cascade mountains twice.
The need for water Transportation of fruit is
we'll recognized in North Central Washington.
By the construction of but few miles of highway
fruit can be transported from that portion of the
state to this section, where it will one day. per-
haps, be loaded onto river steamers for transport
taton to tide water
In the program for the development of Wash
ington, and her resources, the completion of the
North-south highway will play large part

year. On the other hand, the total
cost per bird, without labor, was $2.44
in 1888, compared to $2.70 in 1882.
Poultrymen apparently replaced their
f1ocks at a lower cost in 1888.
The poultrymen represented by the
records secured higher income
through a higher fall egg lay Hens
in these focks had an egg lay for
the three fall months of 29.7 per cent
compared to 27.3 per cent the previous
year. Pullets in these f1ocks also in
creased their fall egg lay about one
per cent. The average lay for pullets
and hens in 1882 was 177.3 eggs per
bird, compared to 181 eggs last year.
The record flocks started with 1853
birds in 1882 but for the year 1888
they started with only 730 birds. Like
wise the average number of birds kept,
both hens and pullets, decreased 50
birds per flock in 1888. This is indi-
cative of the decreasing volume of the
commercial poultry industry during
this period of extremely low egg prices
The mortality of the hocks studied
was less in 1888 than In 1882. The
mortality of hens was 14.7 per cent
compared to 1854 in 1882 Pullet NOR
tality dropped from 1874 per cent in
1882 to 172 per cent in 1888. This
shows the tendency of those poultry
men who kept records to constantly
improve their management practices.
