FEDERAL LAND BANK
? SETS NEW RECORD

SPOKANE Federal Land
Bank of Spokane in September set
an all-time record in the dis
persal of acquired farms and farm
land during the month when sales
Of $308, 6O6 were made, according to
Ward K. Newconb, vice president.
This exceeds by $19,148 the larg-
est previous months volume ever
attained in the land division of
the bank, and indicates the active
demand which has developed for
northwest acreage.
Favorable conditions in the
northwest this year are bringing
inquiries from all parts of the
country for farms. Many drought
hit farmers from the middle west
seem eager to move to this favored
territory, and some are calling in
person at the Land Bank in Spo-
kane in search of a new location.
There is also an active demand
by farmers in the northwest who
are tenants to take advantage +
present opportunities for pur-
chasing their own places.
The Land Bank is meeting the
present demand with a series of
sales in number of sections in
Guiding Spokane county, Yakima
valley, Okanogan valley, western

Work in Rural Areas
The function of the rehabilitation
department will be to aid people

The work will be confined chiefly
to the rural areas.
While the department may assist
persons on relief to secure livestock,
cows and chickens to help provide
their own livelihood, Mr.. Protzman
said that nothing would be distrib-
uted free. Time will be devoted
principally to people who have nc
commercial credit.

AUTO CLUB EXPECTS
TOURIST TRAVEL PICK UP

SEATTLE, Oct. Is. (SpeciaD-
The touring year of 1885 will be the
best in the Northwest since 1929,
highways in western states are be-
coming veritable boulevards for
| travel; tourist accommodations ne
yer have been better.
These items of interest to motor
lists were reported by D. A. Shelor,
general manager of the Automobile
Club, who has just completed a
round trip of nearly 1000 miles
which carried him into eight of the
/ eleven western states.
"The concensus everywhere of
operators of businesses catering to
motorists, and of automobile club
and state officials is that our next
touring season will be the most
prosperous since 1929" he said.
GAS proof of this spirit there is
much construction planned, and
started, to enlarge hotels, resorts
and camps. Also additional gaso-
line and service stations are being
built at every possible turn in the
road.
During the entire trip through
Washington, Oregon, Idaho. Wyom-
ing, Colorado, Utah, Nevada and
California, excellent highways are
encountered. Almost the entire
route has been surfaced and dust
has been eliminated. Curves are
aligned perfectly for the safety OF
the driver and adequate guard rails
protect traffic at possible danger
points. Every effort has been adj
vanced to facilitate and safeguard
travel.

ritory is remarkable, especially for
it's variety, changing from areas of
giant tinbers to- this constantly

stocking, declares Jerry Sotola,
assistant professor of animal hus-
bandry at the State College.
The processing of alfalfa hay has
the advantage of reducing the
amount of refuse. At the Washing
ton experiment station % per cent
of the hay fed as long hay was re-
fused by the lambs, three per cent
when chopped, and none when
ground.
The group of lambs fed chopped
hay did not make as rapid gains as
the others. Based on feed offered
per 100 pounds gain, more of the
long hay than of the others was
required. If this refused long hay
can be utilized as horse or stock
cattle feed, the chopping has much
less important place than in cases
where the refused stems cannot be
used.
Extremely fine alfalfa flour was
not palatable to lambs. A seven
sixteenths inch screen which left
the hay about as fine as alfalfa
leaves produced the most satisfac-
tory degree of fineness.

required by law, based on pupil
days attendance, the commissioners
plan to divert approximately $500
from the money it secures from the

ever, that money derived from this
source be divided between the

John Thorp Active
In Assessors Race
Says Some Voters Confused By
Withdrawal Of Dale Thorp
As Treasurer Nominee

The withdrawal of Dale Thorp
from the race for county treasurer
has given a few Okanogan county
voters the impression that John F.
'Thorp no longer is seeking election
as county assessor, Mr.. Thorp said
Saturday.
John F. Thorp, VINO was nominated
on the Republican ticket, stated
that he is still actively campaigning
for election as assessor. To clear
up the confusion the following

Dale Thorp:
4 ITO the voters of Okanogan coun-
ty:
y '"This is written at the request Of
John F. Thorp, candidate for the
office of county assessor, to clear
up any confusion caused by my
resignation from the race for county
treasurer. While the writer has
Withdrawn as candidate for treas
urer the name of John F. Thorp
will still appear on the ballot as a
candidate for county assessor.
(Signed) Dale Thorp."
John F. Thorp received the high
est number of votes cast for an
opposed candidate for Okanogan
county office in the September pri-
maries, and reports that he is re-
ceiving wide support over the en-
tire county in his present campaign.

GRAIN MARKETS STRONGER
AS FOREIGN MARKET GAINS

Domestic grain markets strength
ened during the wetk ending Octo-
Der IL, and recent price declines
were largely offset, according to the
Weekly Grain Market Review of
the U. S. Bureau of Agricultural
Economics. Is
Wheat and rye tended upward in
sympathy with the firmer situation
abroad, and a good steady inquiry
for cash offerings.
Strength in foreign markets was
largely the result of slackening in
pressure in Argentine and French
offerings and a more active import
inquiry from deficit European and
Oriental countries. Rye advanced
with wheat but also displayed in
dependent strength, rejecting the
light seasonal supplies and the mar
rover spread between domestic and
foreign prices, with foreign rye now
above an import basis. Corn mar
kets held steady with the smallest
domestic crop since 1881, lighter
stocks on farms and growers dis
playing a firm holding tendency.
Oats advanced with other grains,
and with a good market inquiry
readily absorbing current offerings.
Domestic cash wheat markets were
firm, rejecting the more active
domestic flour trade, light offerings
from the small seasonal supplies,
and more active competition for
good quality offerings.
The crop outturn as of October l.,
is placed at 496,982,000 bushels as
compared with 527,978, 900 bushels a
year ago. A carryover Of 289, 1885,
600 bushels brings the total supplies
for the season up, to 786, 765, 900
bushels as against 919 1925, 900 BUSH
els a year ago.
The hard Red Winter outturn is
a little larger than the small pro-
duction of last year, and is placed
at 201, 473,000 bushels as against
169,915,OOO bushels year earlier.
Production of soft Red Winter
amounts to 163,245,O0O bushels as
against 147,262 900 bushels in 1888
The hard Red Spring crop is placed
at 58,538,000 bushels as against 1O3,-
915,000 bushels last season The
Durum crop totals 6,6O5,OO bushels
as compared with 17,443, 900 bushels
year ago. White Wheat production
Including both winter and spring, is
placed at 67,221, 900 bushels compar-
ed with SO, 443, 900 bushels in 1888.
