NEW FARM ACT
WILL APPLY TO
LOCAL FARMS
Per Acre Payment TO BE Bas-
ed on Farm Practices; Prob
ably Above National Aver
ages

Farmers in Benton county who
operate farms in 1896 will be able 70
receive payments from the federal
government under the new Soil
Conservation and Domestic Allot-
ment Act If they make some definite
recommended changes in their
farming practices or crops to con-
serve their soil or increase its fer
tility.
Crops grown on the farm in 1885
will determine the basis on which
payments will be made.
Depending on what farming prac-
tice is adopted by the individual
farmer he may qualify for either
soil conserving payment or a small
er soil building payment. or both.
Administration Of the new pro-
gram which Supercedes the former
AAA will operate through commun-
ity committees and county commit
tees which in turn will be assisted
by state committee which will be
under the direction of George L.
Farrell, regional administrator.
There will be two types of pay
ment.
The larger payments will be
known as soil conserving payments
and will only be paid upon compli-
ance by shifting a certain acreage
from soil depicting crops. such as
wheat, TO soil conserving crops.
These crops will include paintings
Of sweet clover, alfalfa, other clov-
erS, rotation pastures, and the plow-
iEg under Of green manure crops.
The smaller soil building pay
ments will be made to farmers, who,
in addition to the shifting of soil
depicting crops, make new seedlings
in their regular rotations or carry
on certain specified and approved
practices.
The national average is $40 an
acre for the soil conserving pay
ment. A state rate will be worked
out which will probably be some
what higher than the national av-
erage. It will be paid to those farm
ers who change is percent of the
land they had in one Of several spe-
cific soil depicting crops in 1895 to
soil conserving crops.
The smaller payment will be made
to farmers who adopt some practice
which will tend to improve the soil.
The farm payment will be 81 an
acre for all land in soil building and
soil conserving crops.
From the state average county
and individual farm rates will be
established by the state and coun-
ty committees respectively. This
rate may be higher or lower than
the $40 average. Productivity of the
individual farm will be the basis for
determining the rate Of payment.
The farmer makes no contract
with anyone in order to participate
in the new program. He simply fills
out a form called a work sheet
which outlines briefly the plan he
expects to follow in 1896. II at the
end of the crop season he has not
been able to follow out his plan for
any reason, he will simply not be
eligible to receive payment. He
will violate no regulation and no
penalty will be levied against him.
Because of the necessity for start
ing action on the new program be-
fore spring seedlings are entirely
completed, no time is being lost in
presenting the general possibilities
to farmers.

The first allotment of government
money for the new school house was
received yesterday by the local
board. The check was for S3l 1893 .33
being the first $50 of the federal
grant. The next two apportion-
ments will be for 1919 each, and ap-
plication is to be made at once for
the second check.
Work on the new building is pro-
crossing rapidly, according to the
contractors who state that the Job
is well ahead Of schedule to date.

CLUB SPEAKERS
AVAILABLE
Local T. B. Assn. Asks Civic
Clubs to Have T. B.
Programs

In an effort to secure the inter-
est and help of the public in the
control of tuberculosis, the Nation
al, Steate and Benton county as
sociations would like each club to
have tuberculosis educational
program during the year 1861. To
help with this work the following
speakers will be available and will
go to any part of the county: DR..
F.. S. Hedger, Benton City; Mrs.
Starkenberg, Whitstran; Mrs. Lyle
E. Brand, Mrs. j. r. Ayers and Miss
Alice Brakel, county nurse, Ken
neWick.
In many communities the goal
of ultimate control of tuberculosis,
that is the reduction of the death
rate per 100000 population, seems
to be in sight. If this reduction is to
be attained in any community it
means unremitting effort for the
next fifteen to twenty-five years.
1t means more emphasis on those
activities which have helped to re-
duce the death rate thus far, it
means improved methods and bet
ter service than ever before.
The Benton county T. B. associa-
ton dedicates itself to the wide
spread dissemination of the most
enlightened information for the

Miss Bertha Fricke, Hit by
Auto Driven by Clinton
Silliman, Dies in PascO
Hospital

Funeral services will be held Fri
dav afternoon for Miss Bertha
Fricke, beloved first grade teach

itor, at the intersection of First

Miss Fricke was rushed to the

proved of no avail, and she passed
away about ten o'clock that eve
ming. She suffered a broken ankle,
several broken ribs, skull fracture
and two gashes on the back of the
head and internal injuries
Officials conducting an investiga-
ton of the accident have not as

charge will be placed against the
driver of the car.
Silliman and Frank Oliver were
coming east down First Avenue,
cutting the corner into Auburn
street. Miss Fricke and Miss Allen
were in the intersection when the
accident happened. Miss Fricke
was struck by the right front fen
der and carried several feet before
the car could be brought to a stop.
AS nearly as could be ascertain
ed from the evidence neither the
victims nor the occupants of the
car saw each other until too late
to avoid the accident.

around, all this trouble would have

suspension was when a newspaper man
called me up at MY hotel room. I was
never so stunned in my life. I was 50

~ OSTON, August 22.-Wesley
- Ferrell, stormy petrol of the
Red Sox, returned to Boston
- today firm in the belief that
his 81 900 fine for quitting the mound
against the Yankees yesterday was
the result "of a huge mistake, in
which I probably was most to blame"
1T was just another one of those
mistakes" he said, that have been
holding Us back all year. I don L
think the manager should be ex-
empted. either. Something was bound
to happen, and guess they picked on
me for the goat because 1 could take
it. Well, they picked on the wrong
guy who could take it best"
Ferrell said he talked last night in
New York with Manager Joe Cronin,
who suspended him indefinitely and
ordered him back to Boston, and
gathered from their conversation that
he would not be traded.
"As far as I know, I am suspended
indefinitely" Ferrell told base ball
writer's after alighting from his New
York train.
"All know definitely is that they
told me to come back to Boston and
work out at the ball park.

Insists He Didn't Quit.

IT JUST want it to be known I did
not leave the box of my own ac-
cord in the sixth inning" Ferrell ex-
planned. "Gehrig was on third and
Dickey on first. Selkirk fouled out
and Powell came up.
Il turned to McNair and told him
to play deep. Then I threw my best
sailor ball and Powell hit right where
I thought he would. McNair was not
there. He came over, failed to scoop
up the ball, tripped and almost fell.
Il was upset. I walked Lazzeri on
four pitches and the bases were full.
Then Pearson singled and three runs
had scored. I looked over to the
bench and Cronin WAS making signs
with his hands.
The signs were horizontal. There
was hush over the field Like there is
when pitcher is being taken out.
II thought 1 was out of the ball
game and walked straight to the
Yankee dugcut, which is on the way to
the club house, and never looked
around once. If Joe came after me,
/ never saw him.
