Tenant Farmers
Show Big Gains
Washington Tenant Farmers In
crease 40 Per Cent From
1880 To 1885

A 40 per cent increase in the num-
Der of farm tenants in Washington
from 1880 to 1885 is indicated by the
1885 census of agriculture. During
the same period the number Of farm
owners increased only 10 per cent
according to report on the status
of farm tenancy being prepared by
Walter A. Duffy, regional director,
reSettlement administration, Port
land, Oregon.
With 20 per cent Of all farms In
Washington now operated by ten
ants, the extent Of farm tenancy
has reached a new high. In spite
of the relatively recent opportunities
for honlesteaded land in this state
there has been an almost steady
increase in the number Of tenant
farms since the first county was
taken in 1880.
Gain In Tenants General
While the final results of the
census have not been tabulated for
all states, figures for 80 states in
dictate an increase in the number
of farm tenants in most sections Of
the country. Approximately 43 per
cent of all farms in the United
States are now operated by tenants
compared to Is per cent when the
first census was taken In 1880.
Attempts to check the growth of
tenancy have been made chiefly
because of the instability of resi-
dence associated with a farm ten
ancy vary greatly. Studies show
that the tenant farmer moves on
the average of every four years. Be-
cause Of this change in residence
the functioning of schools, church Is
and other community enterprises as
cooperative organizations is badly
handicapped.

stated, every effort is made to ar

Why shouldn't the farmer adopt

to all his farming operations?
Selecting the domestic in tl,is way
and following land contours with

breaking away from the old tradi-

WPA Funds Used For Three Pro-
jects In State; Erect New
Trout Hatchery

SEATTLE-Work is progressing
on three WPA projects instituted at
the behest of the Washington state
game department., while fourth
job stands virtually completed.
Workmen are busy clearing land
and making general repairs at the
Auburn state game farm, King
county. Land clearing and land
scaping comprise much of the &C
tivity in another project at the
Spokane trout hatchery.
OF greater Importance than
either of the first two mentioned,
is project calling for erection of
a new trout hatchery at Lake
Aberdeen, Grays Harbor county,
where material supplied by the
state game department. is being
supplemented by WPA labor.
The WPA and the state game
department financed construction
OF the new Whatcom Falls trout
hatchery at Bellingham under an
arrangement similar to that effec-
ted for the Lake Aberdeen layout.

River for distance of twenty miles
and then inland and across what
is known as Goose Lake Flat to
Omak Lake. The maximum eleva-
ton is 1850 #. and the minimum
is 937 #.
Section CD
This is an Okanogan Secondary
Road Project and starts at Station
1928 -O3.4 which is the terminal
station of the new location, and
continues along Omak Lake for q
distance of 80 miles. The roadway
varies from ID it. to "a #. in width,
the steepest grade being 10 per cent
and the sharpest curvature being
sixty foot radius.
Considerable work will have to be
done on this section eliminating
dangerous curves and widening to
bring it to the same standard as
that used on the new location, and
will include two and half miles of
guard rail. Practically all of this
section is on a steep solid rock
slope.
Section DE
This is an unimproved county
road 4.74 miles in length, construc-
ted on fairly good alignment and
profile. 1t will require widening,
draining and Surfacing.
Section EFF
This section 492 miles in length
is an unimprOved county road built
on poor alignment and profile. It
will require the same treatment as
for Section DE.
Section EN-
This section 1922 miles in length
is an unimproved county road. It
is built on poor alignment and pro-
file and will require grading, drain
ing and surfacing.
The reason for improving this
section would be to give Omak and
the north valley traffic an outlet to
the Omak Lake road from Okan-
ogan.
Section MN
This is a newly improved oiled
roadway 26 #. in width and con-
structed on good alignment and
profile.

Oysters With
Wine

Rare, subtle and gentle are
the flavors offered by the COM
bination Of wine and oysters in
dishes which have long been the
delight of every true gourmet.
The gourmet, however, counts
oysters on the half shell and a
glass Of wine, preferably Chab-
lis, in his list of priced combina-
tionS. But not ending with that,
the combination is the stock-in-
trade of every chef or cook.
Wines give the delicate flavor Of
the oyster a surprising polish.
One Of the many such recipes
which calls for the combination
of oysters with sherry in a dish
known only by that name:
Oysters With Sherry
2 tablespoons butter
u cup finely chopped celery
2 tablespoons chopped green
pepper
l pint oysters
teaspoon salt
u teaspoon paprika
" cup sherry.
Melt butter in saucepan, add
celery. green pepper and drained
oysters and cook until the edges
curl. Add seasoning and sherry,
reheat and serve on toast. Serves
six.
Equally delightful results may
be achieved by adding either
Madeira or Sherrv to scalloped
oysters. The new element trans
forms the dish into a distinctive
offering to the palate. Many
recipes for scalloped oysters need
only a half cup of the chosen
wine,

to follow in preparing puddings:
Never remove cover from the

District Family of -Four

The wise feeding of family group small income is diff

One of the most difficult is the problem of marketing

Although some still adhere the idea of making future

ahead is sufficient.
In getting the most from your
food dollar you may find inter
eSting these policies that are fol-
lowed by a large hospital where
similar mounting food bills must
be curtailed. Menus are made out
by the week and market orders
estimated at the same time.
Vegetables and fruits are pur-
chased in person by the dietitian
and if there is a real bargain in
fruits and vegetableS-at a price
within the allowance-this is sub
Stituted for other planned pur-
chaSeS.
Check Prices
Prices are always checked be-
fore the order is given, and food
is bought by weight except in case
of certain vegetables and fruits
where it is advisable to purchase
whole crates or by the buShel.
Then the dietitian always checks
over the bills and food when de-
iverieS are made.
A system for buying similar to
this can be worked out by the
housewife. When all bills are
kept, it is much simpler to trans
fer totals to your account book.
Members of a family of four
living in the District find that
they are able to manage nicely on
a food budget of $50 a month. For
