Treasury Reports Bond Issue Didn't
 Come Up Estimate
(By The Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30, The Treasury today reported the first difficulty during this administration in floating a government bond issue, when only eightyfive and one-half million dollars of tends were receiv- ed for a hundred million dollar off, ering.
 The offering consisted of four year, one and one-half percent bonds for the federal farm mortgage cor poration, made last Monday.
 They sold on competitive or que ton basis to the highest bidders.
 Treasury officials today could not recall similar instance in the mem ory of any of them when such let down has been experienced.
 The closest approach is said to have been last August when one of three issues of Home Owners Loan Corporation bonds, fell two million dollars shy of the requested fifty million.
 All other foatation issues have been oversubscribed. This last off, ering, Monday, bore the uncondition al guarantee of the government, both as to principal and to interest.

SCHOOLS MAKING

Yelle shows that common school
finances stepped "out of the red"
and into the black" in most
marked manner between June 80,
1884, and June 80, 1895.
1t should be borne in mind that
during this period the school funds
did not benefit one cent by thetax-
es imposed for the mby the legis-
lative session of 1895.
The analysis compiled by Yelle
discloses that the composite war
rant Indebtedness of the state
changed from debit balance of
$2,O9O,300.67 to a credit balance
OF $2,263,411.59 between the dates
This is net gain of $4,353,172.26
in the cash position of the compos-
lite picture of the school districts
of the state
The report by Yelle shows that
on June 20, 1884, the combined
warrant indebtedness of all the
common schools of this state ex-
ceeded the amount of cash on hand
in the office of the county treasur-
ers by more than to million dol
lars, while on June 80, 1895, the
cash on hand exceeded the amount
OF outstanding warrants by. more
than $2,200,OOO.
While these figures are on a
composite balance sheet, nine of
the thirty-nine counties in the state
had debit balance amounting in
all to $316,879.19 These counties
were, Chelan, Cowlitz, Ferry,

BIG PROBLEM

During the last two years, a
tremending change has occurred
in the agricultural situation in the
United States. From food export
nation, we have become a food i'm
porting nation. Where we used to
have heavy SURPRISES of such basic
crops as grain, dairy products,
meat, lard, nuts and others, which
could be shipped abroad, we now
suffer shortages and must bring
in foreign products to fill ou needs.
Various reasons are behind lthls
Without arguing the merits of the
AAA, its crop restriction policy
paved the way for scarcity of crops
And the great drought, comm gon
top of crop restriction and destruc-
ton, completed the job. Thus a
substantial part of the American
| consuming market was at least
| temporarily lost to the American
| farmer. to the benefit of the for
eign farmer.
This situation has put 0 big Jol
pu to the American farmer. More
than ever before, he must seek tt
make supply of agricultural pro
| ducts meet the domestic demand
More than ever before, he mus
try to scientifically develop an
stabilize his markets. In this worl
the farmer owned and controlle
agricultural coopeTatives will pla
a prominent part-they alone Civ
, the farmer permanen, non pol1t1

FARM FROM
\"0lD MAN WINTER

1t is hN time that the farm
should be pepared for the colder
winter months now at hand, and
according to Leonard Hegnauer,
Extension agronomist at the State
college of Washington, adequate
drainage, erosion control protec-
Ition of pastures and farm equip
lment are factors which should be
taken care of.
When the Eastern Washington
farm is correctly prepared fof "old
MAN Winters" visit all the stub
bile should be left standing in the
'unsowed fields and not turned or
|Dlowel under, because Sthe soil
needs the protection from erosion
afforded by ths# stubble. Stubble
permits moistW# to penetrate deep
Ter into the. N. The stubble will
also help Bld snow.
Ditchs<3Wslich are cutting deep
or shQtHd be properly damned
withteearth dams, which will hold
,ha)ek the surface erosion and pre-
Vent increased outlying.
Under correct farm practices
livestock should not be fed on land
which is planted to alfalfa or clof-
er, because winter CARING will
slow early spring growth of the soil
improvement crops. The stock
should be either fed in feed lots or
on stubble land.
Farm machinery should be kept
in sheds. Machinery is expensive
and the wear it receives while
standing out under the winter wea
Their is many times what it gets in
hard seasons use, as we'll as
costing the farmer more than the
erection of shed would.
