RAINS CAUSED MANY
SPORTY WHEAT FIELDS

Spotty winter wheat stands in
many sections of Washington this year
are credited largely to soil washing
that resulted from the 1910 spring
run.off of melting snow and rain
water.
State Extension and Soil Conserva-
ton service agronomists pointed out
today that even though the heavy
moisture this year frightened early
prospects for good grain crops, it
also did considerable damage on fields
and watersheds where erosion resist
ing cropping and tillage practices
were mot used, such as trashy -fallow,
contour tillage and sweet clover or
grass and alfalfa rotations,
This is an appropriate time, the
workers state, for farmers to get out
and go over the fields and make note
of the thin spots, examining the
ground for rills or other evidence that
the topsoil has washed off. The object
of such an inspection is TO make plans
for revising future cultivation and
cropping methods so as to stop such
soil losses.

WHEAT FARMERS URGED
TO ACT TOGETHER

Wheat growers Of the Pacific
Northwest must prepare to fight for
their own interests if they wish to
keep the benefits that have accrued
to them in recent years, N. L. Dodd,
director of the Western Division Of
the AAA, told members of the Wash.
ipgton Wheat league at meeting, in
Pullman last week.
Dodd pointed out that the North
west "is simply raising too much
wheat and must either have plans
similar TO the export subsidy in cp
Grafton or drastically curtail acreage
in the principal crop Of much of the
area. Farmers were warned that
many Eastern and Southern members
of congress are not disposed to con
tinue appropriations designed for the
Pacific Northwest area unless resi-
dents here make their desires and
needs felt and understood.
..o" many t1H.eS d.e We gong ~
have to bail out the Northwest was
one of the questions which Dodd re
ported many national legislators ask
ing with regard to the situation here.
D'he divisional head reviewed the his
tory of the export subsidy legislation
and other measures designed to aid
wheat farmers in this area.
When the present conflict is fl
nally eded the economic situation will
probably be much worse than that
which followed the first World War;
Dodd told his audience. He declared
that currencies of most foreign nations
would be 80 far below the money OF
this country that buying of United
States grain would be practically i'm
possible.
Dodd told farmers, however, that
as long as the federal crop loan pro
gram remains in effect tney need
have no fear of sudden drops such as
occurred in the wheat market during
recent weeks. He pointed out that the
loan served as a peg or floor un
der the price which held it auto
rnatically at a csrtain level, regard.
