PLAN ASSISTANCE
FOR NEW SETTLERS
Extension Service Plans To Aid In
Soil Problems, Planning Farm
Set-Ups, Crop and Market

New farm settlers coming to
Washington will be given special
assistance In setting up their farm
ing enterprises through a plan be-
ing completed by the state college
extension service. announces F. E.
Balmer, director Census figures
show 1896 new farms in the state
since 1880 and a substantial in
f1ux of settlers is noticeable in the
Yakima valley, Bonneville dam vi
c1nity In Skamania county and a.
round the Puget Sound country,
especially King and Mason counties
Assistance would be given to new
settlers through local county agri-
cultural agents established in each
county extension office. Uniform
methods of getting in touch with
settlers and making resources of
the extension service available are
to be set up in each county. AS
farm practices in Washington differ
from those in other statess many
costly experiments can be avoided
through careful advisory work
Particular attention will be CIV
en- to help settlers with soil prob
lens, planning farm set-ups, fit
ting crops to markets and estab-
fishing sound management prac-
tees. Specialized information on
irrigation, drainage and land clear
ing is essential in many settlement
regions. High market standards for
many Washington farm products
call for instruction in grading and
marketing information. Every eff
fort will be made to prevent set
tiers from getting on land unsuited
to agriculture.
The plan calls for close coopera-

DR.. PRIOR URGES
CHANGE OF FEED

Concerning the epidemic of cat
tie deaths in Central Washington,
DR.. Robert Prior, state supervisor
of dairy and livestock, writes the
folloing letter to DR.. s. T. Miller,
pioneer Wenatchee veterinary.
II made an investigation of this
condition last week north of Eph-
Iata,J in which l visited several of
the ranches which had infected
cattle and found it to be what we
always designate as forage poison
ing. 1t is similar to the condition
which l observed some 20 years
ago in the Ritzville-Sprague dist
riots. and several outbreaks 1 have
observed since that and the symp-
toms are identical with the losses
they had in Sherman and Morrow
counties in Oregon some three year
ago at which time there was q big
percentage of loss. The Oregon out
break was investigated fully by the
oregon authorities and by the fed
eral government, botanically, path
ologically and bacteriologically and
do not believe anything was learn
ed from their observations. 1t
seems that under certain condition
the feeding Of bunch grass and dry
grass produces an autointoxication
or nervous prostration The tenn
perature is usually normal, and in
some cases sub-normal showing 1t
to be undoubtedly that the central
nervous system is affected. The col
or of the liver and spleen is light
but do not give any indication that
they have been subjected to high
temperature at any time.
do not doubt but what hem
orhagic septicemia serum might
have given beneficial results, as 1t
has stimulating effect, which we
can account for in the treatment
OF pneumonia in particular, and
have seen animals which / know
were infected with anthrax make
recovery from the administration
of this serum.
Thompson of Yakima was in
Wenatchee Saturday and Sunday
and visited herds in the Delrio and
Sagebrush Flat districts, accom-
panied by DR.. Miller He found the
ailment exactly as described above
by DR.. Prior, and recommended
quick and radical change in pas
ture. Stock heretofore grazed on
bunch gsass should be shifted to
stubble> fields he suggested.
|. Thompson said the state has no
funds to make study of the situa-
ton, and suggested tina need of a
federal man to spend some time on
it. Farmers are anxious that the
trouble be followed up. Unless they
know the cause they have no way
of determining when stock can be
turned back on regular PASTURE

MWAK CO. TAKES
OVER RAILROAD

The Mason Walsh Atkinson-Kier
operation of the government rail-
road built by the David H. Ryan
forces from Coulee City to Grand
Coulee Yards, and service over this
line and it's extensions to Mason
City and the Dam AGRA will be of
ficially opened by Governor Mar
tin on Monday, July 10th.
The construction of the govern
ment railroad from Coulee City to
the junction of the Wilbur and
Coulee City highways, two miles
this side of the dam, has been COM
pleted for some time, and was &C
cepted by the government some
two or three months ago. The grad
ing of the roadbed was rather diff
ficult in places and the contractor
was put to considerable extra ex-
pense in putting in grade guar
anteed to hold UP the heavy traffic
which is sure to pass over the road
during the construction of the
dam.
Dry Lake, bed of alkili, a mile
south of the Dave Lewis farm,
gave the contractors great deal
oftrouble because of the lay of the
land and from the fact that at
times during the summer and
spring, it is covered with a foot or
two of water. However this diff
Guilty was surmounted by the con-
tractor and the roadbed is in fair
condition and ready for the heavy
trffic this fall when the hauling of
cement will be in full swing.

Ru,a1 Play Area
rs Nork Project

Rural recreational reserves or
county Fairgrounds strictly for use
of farm people and their families
are a possibility in many Washing
ton counties if pending application
for national work relief funds are
approved, according to information
received by the state college extern
sion service from w. A. Lloyd, re-
gional extension service director,
on his annual tour of inspection.
Recreation center would not only
provide much needed playground
centers for rural people but could
be developed as small plants and
game refugees, county aboretums,
and places for special meetings and
forums.
Approval of the project by Sec
reatry Wallace and President Roose
welt would make money available
for all development and work to be
done with local relief labor. While
it is probable that no funds will be
available for acquisition of lands,
many counties are expected to have
marginal or tax delinquent lands
suitable for development as recrea
ton centers. Reserves would be OPP
en- to all rural groups wishing to
use them.
The plan calls for organization

DELRIO CATTLE EFFECTED

of the Delrio section has been los
ing his yearling cattle by what is
thought to be slow poisoning but
as yet no one has been able to de-

though several state, county and. 10
cal veterinaries have examined the
herd. Ten head have died and as
many more are sick. A thorough
search of the pasture in which
thew have been confined falls to re-
veal any poisonous weed and a
change of r"st"re has not seemed
to relieve the situation. 1t is said
