COVER" CROPS PROTECT
FARMS DURING WINTER

STATE COLLEGE OF WASH
INGTON, Pullman, Feb. 27.-There
are hundreds and possibly thou
sands of farms in the State Of
Washington that need protection
from soil and winter erosion, &C
cording to Leonard Hegnauer, ex-
tension agronomist, State College
of Washington; and the only way
to get that protection is to have
some sort of adequate plant COW
ering for the soil.
Plants to be used will depend
upon climatic conditions, he says.
Cover" will protect the soil from
erosion and will add organic mater
ial to the soils. In Western Wash
ington, the problem is not so SER
ious, since cover crops can be grown
during the winter and plowed UNI
der in the spring, for green ma,
nure". Farmers there have an OPP
portunity to cheaper their growing
costs by raising these grasses when
they do not interfere with cash"
crops.
Grown In Summer
In the drier eastern half of the
state, however, the climate will not
permit such crops to be grown dur
ing the winter.
These farmers must grow their
erosion prevention and soil i'm
provement crops during the regular
growing season at the expense of a
regular crop. This sacrifice must
be made, however, Mr.. Hegnauer
says, if the land is to be saved.
A cover made up of grasses and
legunes is often the best type. The
widespread root system of the
| grasses holds the soil together to
check erosion. The legumes trans
fer nitrogen to the soil, to REIN
burse it for losses from non-legume
crops. Both grasses and legumes
tend to replace broken down and
worn out organic matter.

IVA Constitutional
Supreme Court Says
Confirms Power Of Government
To Produce And Dispose Of
Electrical Energy

WASHINGTON, Feb. 81. PAS)-
The 8 to l decision of the supreme
court, holding the Tennessee Valley
Authority act to be constitutional
and within the powers of congress,
has greatly heartened the admins
tration and it's supporters. The de-
cision is taken as clearing the way
for federal activity in other direc-
lions.
It at least confirms the power OF
the government to produce and dis
pose of electrical energy as a by
product to the control of navigable
waters, and is taken as removing
any doubts about the constitutional
rights involved in the Passama-
auady Power project, the Grand
Coulee dam and other important
public works.
This IVA decision is the second
decision of the supreme court up
holding one of the major features
of the New Deal. The first was il
the gold clause suits.
Outlook On Housing
There is a general feeling here
that the governments housing pro-
gram is not progressing as rapidly
as was hoped. Two distinct sets OF
ideas on the subject are in sharp
conflict. There is one faction in
the administration which wants the
federal government to content itself
with fostering building loans to pri-
vate enterprises. They maintain
that private capital is ready to go
ahead and put men at work if it can
be assured that the government is
not going into the housing field.
On the other hand is the social
minded group, which holds it the
governments duty to finance and
build new homes for the UNDER
privileged everywhere Until this
conflict of viewpoint is dissolved,
the outlook is that the new building
program for 1886 will be about
100000 family units, dwellings and
apartments.
Farm Aid Distribution
A shrewd political observer re-
marked the other day that very few
persons in or out of congress I'M
derstood much about the new farm
aid program, except that it means
checks for the farmers.
The estimate of cash distributions
to farmers this year is that they
will run to at least $500, COO, 900.
About $2OO,OOO,OO0 will be distrib-
uted on existing contracts under the
old AAA. Another $300,O00,OO0 is
expected to go to the farmers by

PepUp Appetite;
Relish Your Food

No matter how little you eat, you
should relish your food to feel your
best and get the most enjoyment
out of living. If clogged-up bowels
and inactive kidneys are poisoning
your system, causing you to have a
"puny," finicky appetite, and MAX
ing you feel rundown, sluggish,
without ambition or zest for the
good things in life-take a few doses
of good old Williams s. l.. K. Form
ula and see how much better you
feel.
Williams S. L. K. Formula Is
compounded from the prescription
of a former army doctor and con-
tains valuable ingredients which
accomplish their work In four bene-
fetal ways: AS a mild tonic, stom-
ach stimulant, laxative, and diuretic
stimulant for the kidneys. Many
take Williams S. L. K. Formula also
for indigestion, nausea, loss of
weight and sallow complexion, where
a mild tonic, laxative, stomachic,
and diuretic is needed. Don't take
too harsh drugs which jolt your sys-
tenn and upset your stomach. Ask
Center Drug Co., Grand Coulee
Center, opposite post office, today
for Williams s. l.. K. Formula. The
first bottle must satisfy or money

SKIPPER KEEPS BEDS
RESCUED FAR FROM LAND

SEATTLE A sea-going
aviary, built up over a period of
20 years by Capt. John Stampe-
RUS, visited Seattle aboard the
motorship Delftdyk of Rotterdam.
The 40 specimens in the cages
that line the walls of the lower
bridge were rescued from prob
able death by the kind hearted
captain after they tired while
flying over the sea and alighted
on the ship. Normally they would
have starved to death, or died
from exhaustion.

This distribution will begin in the
cotton belt during March and
swinging northward through the to-
bacco country into the corn, hog,
and wheat regions as the season
progresses. $500, 100000 will likely be
similarly distributed later in the
fall.
Recent developments indicate
that only one of the four national
farmer organizations is satisfied
with the new farm aid plan. That
is the Farm Bureau Federation.
The National Grange, the Farm
ers' Union and the National Co.
operative Council are not giving any
active support to the plan, but
neither are they raising any objec-
tons to the distribution of funds
to agriculture.
Taxes, Mortgages And War
Little progress has seemingly
been made in developing a workable
system of taxation to provide for
the new farm benefit payments and
other extraordinary expenses. That
there will be some new taxes is
certain, but they will be figured out
to touch the average citizens pock-
etbook as lightly as possible.
The F'razier-Lemke bill for the
taking over of farm mortgages by
the government and issuing green
back currency for that purpose is
showing new signs of life. Some OBJ
servers think it stands good
chance of being enacted by the
house and possible chance of get
ting through the senate. It would
then likely run up against a presi-
Dental veto, it is thought here, and
there would not be votes enough to
pass it over the veto.
A bitter debate is expected on
the proposed neutrality legislation.
Senator Nye and his followers who
believe that congress can by law
insure against the participation of
the United States in any future war
intend to put up fight for their
beliefs. Those who know how to
gauge congressional probabilities
insist that all that will come of it
will be a renewal of the neutrality
resolution passed last summer
which expires by limitation on
February %.
I The Political Pot
Politically, major interest centers
on the question of what AL Smith
and his followers intend to do at the
Philadelphia convention. It is re-
ported they are planning to stage 8
sensational walk-out, which may OF
may not presage a third ticket.
The general belief is that if A.
stages such bolt, the boilers will
go along with the Republicans, pro.
vided the Republican candidate il
satisfactory to their aims. They will
not be satisfied with either Senator
Borah, or Mr.. Hoover, but almos
any other Republican now in thu
running might gain their support.
| Governor Landon's strength L
growing, and so is that of Franz
Knox. Senator Vandenberg, o
Michigan, is the subject of man,

friends profess great confidenc
that he will be the compromis

The feeling grows that no Repub
lican candidate will go to the Cleve
land convention with enough pied
ged delegates to make it difficult t
beat him, although Senator Boral
is expected to have about 200 in
structed delegates when the con
ventiOn opens.

dictmentof blowing and robbing the
safe of the postoffice at Almira. Jack
Holt pleaded guilty Friday before
Judge J. Stanley Webster to partici-
patton in the crime. Sentence was de-

uty, Frank s. Brungner. They came

 Although the alarm did not blow, Volunteer Firemen lost no time in getting to the blaze. They soon sub- dued it, saving most of Pilk's person al effects.
