Nine New Cement Rearing Ponds
To Be Added To Spokane

SEATTLE-Construction of nine
more big trout rearing ponds for the
fish propagation unit of the Wash
ington state game department will
start at once. The ponds are to be
added to a battery of seven cement
ponds already in operation at the
Spokane trout hatchery, the state
game department announced today.
AS in numerous other recent con-
struction jobs, the rearing pond
construction will be effected under
q WPA project. Material will be
supplied by the state game depart
ment, and labor by the WPA.
Rearing pond facilities of the

Transplant Birds
West OF Cascades
Trap Quail In North Central
Washington; Waterfowl Des-
tructive To Seed Farms

SEATIIE-Aiming at bolstering
upland game bird flocks west of the
Cascades and eventually eliminat-
ing much of the concentration OF
bird hunters in eastern Washing
ton during the open season, the
state game department already this
winter has trapped more than 5000
quail in north central Washington
and shipped the birds to the west
side of the state for planting. Due
to adverse weather conditions, all
of the quail have not been liberated
yet.
Later the game department plans
to similarly trap and transplant
hungarian pheasants from south
east Washington to the west side
This project hinges on whether or
not weather conditions will prove
favorable for trapping operations.
Waterfowl Plentiful
There's no scarcity of migratory
waterfowl in Skagit county, accord
ing to reports of State Game Pro-
tectors Laurence Seabury, Maurice
Splane and Ole Eide, who, with CO.
operating federal men, are protect
ing farms from ravages of hungry
wild ducks.
Special flare bombs are used to
chase the ducks from turnip patch
es and clover fields of Skagit farm
ers who specialize in raising garden
seed. On one farm alone The game
protectors reported seeing an esti-
mated $4,000 pidgeons feeding. Far
mers of the district have raised a
fund to help keep the ducks under
control.

Deal Theatre Friday and Sunday,
with May Robson in the starring
role.
Miss Robson, playing the most
delightful humorous part In her
screen career, is seen as this eccen-

iciouS relatives, in an attempt to

Convalescing and growing to like
her new surroundings, the wealthy
old lady refuses to leave, and she
and her pampered dog are al

200 ACRES OF
CROPS NEEDED
TO GET CANNERY
Diversification Essential To In.
dustry, County Agent Tells
Growers
Lettuce Tried Out
Effectiveness Of Program Used
By Yakima Growers
Is Shown

Okanogan county farmers must
produce minimum Of 200 acres OF
diversified truck crops In order to
be able to get a cannery into the
district, they were told at meet
ing held Monday In Okanogan.
County Agent Vernon Chapman
told the Is growers present that a
commercial unit would not come In
unless guaranteed at least that
minimum and preferably double
the stated amount. It was pointed
out that recent experiments have
shown that corn, cucumbers, as
paragus, onions, cabbage and oma-
toes can be, produced in commercial
quantities in the county and that
these crops in sufficient amount
would warrant cannery.
The farmers also discussed the
possibility of establishing a coop
e. alive cannery with stock held by
the growers.
Discuss Cooperative
The farmers also discussed the
prospects of increasing lettuce acre
age in Okanogan county. 1t was
disclosed that the few acres of let
tuce grown around MOnSe and Ma
lott last year as an experiment had
topped the market in both Seattle
and Minneapolis and that the ex-
eminent had been altogether sue
ceSsful.
It was shown that immediate di-
versification of the farm produce
here is imperative to the welfare OF
the agricultural industry. The ex-
perience Of the Yakima valley In
growing crops other than fruit and
the attendant wholesome results
was cited as practicable here.

caused it to burn up. Deggerman
denies the charge, county officials
say.
David La Roch was locked up
when charged with striking Mrs.
Eula Bruchler with his fists. Wal

Queer Bread Case
Up For Trial Soon
Justices Will Decide Whether
Slice Should Have SO Or
GO % Galleries

OLYMPIA, February q = Should
a slice of bread have SO or IS 2-3
calorieS?
Nine state supreme court justices
will spend several hours of their
time deciding that "weighty" ques-
ton when the famous balloon
bread" case is argued March H.
The Tacoma Bread company
wants the supreme court to uphold
Director of Agriculture Walter j..
Robinson in telling bakers how
long they can bake a loaf of bread.
G. l.. Mankertz, Tacoma baker,
has been selling one-pound loaves
II inches long, when Robinson says
the bread must he nine inches long.
Same Calorie Count
His competitors claim the 12-inch
loaf contains the same number of
calories, 1870, but makes "a slices
of so calories each to 10 slices of
sc 2-3 Galleries from the legal-size
loaf. Thus, cafe-eaters get less for
their money when they buy two
slices from the 12-inch loaf, they
assert. No more dough goes into
the balloon loaf" but its size is
produced by more gas in the bak-
ing, 1t was held.
Involved in the suit is the ques-
ton of whether the legislature
which passed the states pure food
laws delegated too much authority
to Robinson in letting him say
how long a loaf of bread shall be.
Validity Questioned
Since the MIRA and AAA supreme
court decisions which made blanket
attacks on "delegating authority
to government officials, opponents
Of the pure food laws say they also
are unconstitutional. The Pierce
county superior court refused to
give the Tacoma Bread company an
injunction preventing Mankertz
from selling balloon loaves''.
The legislature, the lower court
said, was within it's rights in per-
hitting Robinson to fix the size of
one-pound loaf. The rule was
made, the small-loaf bakers said, to
prevent reduction of the number of
calories in slice. Besides, they OBJ
jected, the people bought the big
ger loaveS in preference to smaller
ones, because they appeared to be
getting more for their money.

For instance it was reported that

Turkey Raising Growing

Washington's most important in
duStrieS. From San Juan and Is
land counties have come reports
that many farmers are making
plans to rear turkeys for next years

Farmers in the Yakima valley es-
innate that they raised at least co.
600 turkeys last year.
Some birds were shipped to the
eastern market this year, and it is
anticipated that a bid for a New
York market will be made again
next year. 1t was stated that
Washington birds received two
cent premium this year over Texas
turkeys.
Many Factors Considered

than two deer each week, thus if

A meeting to work out division

since 1t is not possible for either
the STATE or the county to finance

expenditures IN a way that would be
most beneficial to both, and at the
same Time give the greatest amount
or service TO those In need.
State Aids
assist the county in certain func-
JlunS That mad heretofore been en-
J4rely county responsibility, due to
ten counJyS financial situation. It
was oec1ued That the state depart
ment OF public welfare would
assume responsibility for those per-
sons coming under the provisions
or the IedeIal social security act OF
AID 10 dependent children and old
age assistance.
The county, on the other hand,
will care for all non-able- bodied
persons who do not come within
the scope OF these two divisions and
VINO are IN need of relief. The coun-
Gy will also assume the function of
caring for the relief needs of the
employable unemployed persons who
aie unable to provide for them
selves.
Receive Federal Help
This division makes it possible for
the state to be reimbursed by the
federal government under the social
security act for the money it ex-
ponds In aid to dependent children
and old age assistance. This
matching will be one-third for aid
to dependent children and dollar
for dollar on old age assistance. Such
reimbursement would not be allow
ed the county as the federal law re-
qulres administration through a
SINGLE state agency.
The county is expanding it's mon
ey in channels that are non-reim-
burSable by the federal govern
ment, even though the state were
to administer the expenditures.
The present plan thus makes
provision for federal reimbursement
which results in larger amount OF
money coming into the state OF
Washington and Okanogan county.
At the same time the county expects
this will make decided saving in
expenditures from the current ex-
pense budget.
To Make Transfers Quickly
The change is to be made as
rapidly as possible, but it will take
some time before all details can be
worked out. In OF der to avoid con-
fusion, the state department of pub

from people who are in need. Those
