Farmers Will
Vote On 1896
Corn-Hog Plan
will Meet At Kennewick
And Prosser This
Week
BY w. w. skuse, County Agent


Farmers of Benton county will vote
this week with those of other states
on whether they favor an AAA corn
hog adjustment program to follow the
1885 program expiring November 80.
In such referendum, farmers of
Washington and other states will have
a chance to choose between program
designed to hold corn acreage down
to a safe desirable level and to pre-
vent an excessive increase in hog num-
bers or the alternative Of releasing CO.
operative control of corn acreage and
hog production, thereby risking one OF
the greatest increases in hog produce
ton that the country has ever seen.
Every corn and hog farmer in the
state, whether or not he signed 1884
or 1885 corn-hog contract, will have
a chance to vote on the question OF
whether or not he favors a corn-hog
adjustment program to follow the one
ending this fall.
Two meetings will be held in Benton
county, one at the Commercial club
rooms in Prosser at pm. Friday Oc-
tober Is, and the other at the county
extension Office in Kennewick at 1880
pm. Saturday, October g. At these
meetings secret ballots will be taken
which will be counted following the
Kennewick meeting so that they can
be reported At these meetings facts
and figures on the situation will be
given.
A total of 95 corn-hog contracts were
signed in 1885 by Benton county farm
erS.
Feed supplies, livestock numbers and
the market outlook are now such that
the next three years may see a greater
increase in hog production than has
ever taken place In any similar period
in the country's history, according to
AAA officials. Some increase from the
present low level of production is de-
sirable, but there is a real danger that
the expansion will become excessive
unless another adjustment program is
inaugurated.
The ten such production cycles &C.
curing since 1890 have created peri
odic gluts and shortages. These ex-
cessive swings in production have beer
harmful to both consumer and pro.
Queer.
Farmers are no longer helpless
against such prospect, now that they
have their corn-hog production contro
associations and the referendum sys.
tenn. They can decide for themselve!
whether or not they think an adjust
ment program will be needed and ther
cast their votes accordingly.

HEADLINES

MOTHER NATURE, while favoring
this section of the country with the
usual pleasant, autumnal weather, went
on rampage through other parts OF
the continent this week.
HELENA, Montana, was recovering
today after a series of earthquakes had
rocked the town, leveling homes and
business houses and doing great pro-
perty damage.
The most severe shock came Friday
night, leaving a toll Of two deaths and
property damage estimated at more
than $2OOO,OOO. Since the first shock
was felt October IL, more than 500
distinct shocks have been recorded.
With a tapering off both in frequency
and intensity, the quakes were believed
at an end.
A RAGING hurricane roared into
Cuba Monday, bringing death to four
persons and damaging property to the
extent of several million dollars. At
first thought to be the beginning Of

died away. The mainland was missed
entirely by the storm.
FIRE, sweeping along the southern
California coast on 50-mile- an hour
gale, by Thursday morning had caused
great damage.
Starting in the Altadena district, the
fire swept through parts of Los An
geles county destroying many homes
in the Malibu Beach district and men
acing sanitariums and hospitals OF the
region.
No lives had been lost in the blaze
but property damage was estimated al
100000
Some of this damage was caused by
the gale, which wrecked small boats
tied up shipping in Los Angeles har-
Dor and destroyed much of the citrus
crop of Orange and nearby counties
In some places the fruit damage wa:
estimated at from SO to 100 per cent
AS A RECORD number of hunter
moved into the mountainous country
of washington this week after biz
game hunting accidents were NOR
frequent than usual, with more thai
five deaths during the first few day
of the two-week season.
Several deaths were caused by ex
citable hunters who mistook compan
ions for deer, while others were cause
bv accidents in and around the camps
In an effort to cut down the mum
Der of accidents, the state game com
mission several years ago decreed tina
any person who while hunting shoot

PENNANT CONIENDERS cropped
by the wayside last Saturday as the
University of Washington defeated W..

defeated use, 1877. In other games of
the week end, Oregon beat Idaho and
California defeated Santa Clara. Pos
sible pennant winners have now

On this coming Saturday, Stanford

State will stage their annual bitter
battle.

and less than three hours after

The present Mrs. Walsh and the

together six weeks ago. They
established residence together.
They employed the same attorney,
who filed their divorce complaints
at about the same time, and after
obtaining a decree for Ruth Alb

Moran, walked into the courtroom

Il believe some of them would

resentative Palmisano to iron out
the difficulties.
Representative PalmiSano is

divorce of cruelty.
Representative Carpenter, with
the support of Representative
Ralph o. Brewster (RO, has pre-

Representative Palmisano de-

Recommendation for Custer of
Garrett Faces Elimination
By House Committee

A movement-which appeared
slated for succesS-to kill the
majority report of the District
crime subcommittee developed at
a meeting of the full House Dis
trict Committee today.
This unexpected step was be-
gun by a motion of Representa-
tive Jack Nichols CD, Of OKLA
homa, to reconsider the action
of the committee last week APP
proving the majority report.
When the motion was made
Representative wright Patman
CD of Texas, who had opposed
the majority report, obtained rec
ognition, and after speaking
briefly, the committee recessed
for two weeks.
Two Weeks Delay
Meanwhile, Represent alive
Ralph Brewster CD Of Maine, an
exponent Of the majority views,
had made a point of order against
the motion to reconsider, asserting
that such a motion could only be
made by member who voted pre-
viouSly with the majority.
With this complex situation
pending it was unanimously
agreed by those present that a
two weeks recess should be taken
in view of the fact that the crime
subcommittee chairman, Represen-
tative Jennings Randolph CD Of
West Virginia, and several of his
supporters were absent.
It is understood that the op-
ponents of the majority report
have mustered sufficient strength
to reverse the action of last week
and either table the majority re-
port or substitute that of the
minority.

Although the measure is on

many House Democrats are fight

the bill is reported from the com
mittee, the House will rally to the
Administration and pass the meas
ure in the same form it passed

Scope Already Limited
The measure as it passed the
Senate imposes Federal regulation
on utility holding corporations en-
gagged in interstate commerce, but
limits dissolution to the big com
panies, whose securities are sold
and distributed in interstate com
merce.
The Securities and Exchange
Commission could force dissolu'
ton by 1912 of companies not
believed to be operating in the
public interest. It could grant
further extension on a certificate
from the Federal Power Commits

operation is in the public interest.
