pears, grapes, fats, and SO on in the
United States are purchased from
domestic production, domestic
purchasing power is created for
the total value of the products. If
these requirements are to be pur-
chased abroad, only limited por-
ton of the needs of the workers
producing these crops can be ex-
pected to be supplied by United
States exports.
1t seems to us preposterous that
agriculture, which is struggling to
restore its purchasing power in
the United States, and thus make
its contribution to restored ma
tional prosperity, should be asked
to carry the burden of foreign trade
expansion which would automati-
cally not only punish farmers, but
would retard the restoration of nor
NAL prosperity in the United States
to the degree that the farmers
suffered by the treaty.
To Develop Plan
We understand that some pro-
posal is or has been under consid-
Grafton by the Committee of Recip-
rocity to develop a plan for COM
pensating domestic producers of
flax for the losses sustained by
them under the Argentine Treaty
when made effective. This would
mean the United States would be
subSidizing foreign production and
would be footing the bill for the
development of an Improbable ex-
pansion in foreign trade activities,
and at the same time would be plac-
ing another undesirable restriction
on the domestic producers, many
of whom have to spend a great
deal of their time at the local office
of the Agricultural Conservation
committee finding what they may
or may not do to cooperate with
the AAA during this period of per-
plexity. A plan of restriction for
flax along the lines of the sugar
plan would be greatly resented by
those producing flax or those hop
ing to avail themselves of this
market by readjusting their farm
management plans to include the
production of flax as a potential
profitable crop.

Flax Acreage
Increase Forecast
In Valley

An increase in Imperial county
flax acreage despite improved wheat
and sugar beet prices was fore
cast Saturday by Argyle McLach-
Ian. secretary of the Southwest
Flaxseed association.
Prior to September, McLachlan
said. there was a belief flax acreage
would reach the $4,000 acres mark
but the outbreak of war in Europe
and the subsequent rise in agricul-
tural prices generally the acreage
should settle around AS TO $4,000
acres.
Flax market conditions, after
reaching a low of S145 on August
80, is now holding steady at around
$3.50. A peak of sl86 was reached

Department OF Agriculture were in
imperial and Coachella valleys
'ast week to inspect date gardens
in the two valleys, Frank Beysch-

The USDA specialists declared
hat the principal insects which
'ttacked dates in the Coachella

VALLEY growers have used methods
in cuttinrg down insect damage,
the specialists said. Careful fumi-

IeCassarv precautions.
Tl1e USDh specialists suggested
hat hogs be kept in date gardens.
Hogs, Simmons pointed out, will
ut the dry hulls as they fall from
he trees and prevent breeding of
insects in the hulls.

AUTO RACING
MAKES RETURN

SEATTLE - Bobby Rowe is
bringing Midget Auto Racing to
the Northwest to stay. Those are
his very words and his first big
card comes off tonight at the
Evergreen Speedway here on 125th
and Aurora with a 22-car field in
the starting line.
Ernie Spalding of Seattle and
Adolph DAM from Tacoma seem
TO be the men to beat as both are
off to flying starts in the Point
percentages.
When all the wins and
losses are counted up in Sep
TENDER the winner represents
the Northwest in the midget
racing final at Los Angeles.
This trip, along with the
Northwest crown will go scot
free to the man who wins.
The influx of top-notch drivers
from the sunny banks of Califor-
MIA spells trouble from the word
go. Too often these year around
drivers come to the Northwest and
walk off with greater share Of
the bacon.
But that won't be so in several
of the Northwest drivers cases
this season as many of them pull
ed stakes and csmpsigned in the
South and also in the winter meets
of Australia. Among this group
are such stellar performers as
Tommy Legge and Swede Linskog
both from Seattle.
