Must be Weed Free

Under the crop rotation plan the
ground must be kept as nearly free
from weeds as possible, Goar eX-
planned. He outlined a program OF
re-planting cultivation which would
aid in attaining weed-free flax.
Flax is poor competition for weeds
Goar explained, and it is therefore
doubly necessary to take every pre-
caution. The land should be irrlgat-
ed ten to fifteen days before plant
ing. The irrigation should be fol-
lowed by shallow but thorough cul-
tivation.
A second cultivation is advisable
if there is time, Goar explained.
For planting the land should be
firm to assure a uniform depth OF
planting.

 nouncement of Vote
CHARGES IMMEDIATELY MADE, QUICKLY DENIED
Controversy Apparent tly Leaves Issues as Wide
 Apart as Before

SEATTLE, May 9.-The AF'L and CIO consent election to settle the Alaska salmon cannery labor con- troversy has apparently left the dispute farther apart than ever to- day.
 The National Labor Rela tions Board yesterday certified that the CIO and affiliated Cannery Work CTS and Farm Laborers Union had won the election by 1860 votes to 1907 for the AFL Cannery Workers Union.
 Almost immediately AFL counsel L. Presley Gill said his group would not be bound by the election. charg- ing that the closing of the polls by the National Labor Relations Board prevented 300 to 400 AFL men from voting on last Saturday.
 Robert M. Gates, acting Regional NLRB Director, denied the charge and said that not more than 30 to 40 AFL men were prevented from voting when the Board closed the polls.
 CIO union agent Conrad Espe, said his union will immediately ne- gotiate with the salmon packers on the basis of the election returns as the sole bargaining agency for the cannery employees.

 Nazi leader Hitler ends his visit to Italy tomorrow. and elaborate welcoming preparations are being made in Germany.

ACTION TAKEN AS PROTEST ON
 TACOMA ISSUE
Deadline for Order to Be- come Effective Is Not
 Announced
SEVERAL UNIONS ARE
 REPORTED INVOLVED
Jurisdicional Dispute Said to Also Be Cause
 for Move

SEATTLE, May 9.-The Emerg- ency Diverted Cargo Joint Maritime Council voted at noon today to close the Port of Seattle as a protest to the lockout" and closing of the Port of Tacoma.
 Another issue entering into the closing vote is because of the opera tors refusal to pay off crews of ships now in the Port of Seattle and tied up by a jurisdictional dispute here, it is said.
 The committee met in the hall of the Sailors Union of the Pacific and after the vote was taken and closing of the port announced, no statement was made as to when the deadline would become effective.
 Masters, Mates and Pilots, Marine Bremen. Oilers and Wipers, unions affiliated with the AFL, and long, shore groups were represented at the committee meeting.
 
 The closing of the Port of Seattle, although no deadline has been an- nounced means that no ships sched- uled to sail from SeaI--e will depart, also steamers arriving at Seattle will be unable to discharge cargoes.
 The jurisdictional dispute men toned is relative to freight discharg- ing Tn the past, one steamer could discharge direct onto another but the demand is made that the freight must now first be placed on wharf and then trucked, by longshoremen to the other vessel The Sailors Un- ion of the Pacific, it is said claimed this method has been pursued for years, but the Longshoremen pro- tested that the freight handling should be done by them and cargoes discharged on the docks.
 The Port of Tacoma was closed many days ago as the result of the jurisdictional dispute.
 It is not known whether the clos ing of the Port of Seattle will ef- feet the Alaska steamers or not.
