Price Control

ployer, by skillful management,
still can improve the income from
his business.
How about the thousands OF
civil service employees Of the Gov
ernment?' asked Representative
Smith. Democrat, of Virginia. Con-
eress has fixed their wages" He
added he thought Representative
williams argument against cou-
pling wage control with price control
had made out a case for Govern
ment workers.
Mr.. Williams replied that those
on Government pay rolls, including
members of Congress, do not have
to take the salaries offered.
Mr.. Smith responded the workers
IN private industry would not have
to take the wages offered either.
Information Policy Suggested.
Mr.. Williams suggested a policy
might be written into the bill tc
enable the price administrator tc
deal with the labor mediatlng agen.
cies to give information on the cost
of living. but not to let the price
administrator fix wages.
Mr.. Baruch. who ran the War In
dustries Board In the World War
suggested In a letter read to the
committee today that one way to
control prices would be standardized
mems and women's clothing, with
limit on styles and colors.
Asserting that the morale OF oul
home front Is perhaps more impor'
tant than the morale Of the flghtlns
forces, Mr.. Bsruch said the Gov
ernment must see that the clvillar
population is protected always il
the three essentials Of life-food
shelter and spparel"-and that i
should be able to answer demand
for actual needs-not fancle'
wants"
Chance Seen In Shoes.
He proposed, for example, ina
the Office of civilian supply selec
shoes as a typical product and en-
deavor to limit the output OF sucf
articles to standardized, serviceable
good looking shoes at lower price,
than prevail now"
These shoes could be classed a
A,B, C and D with the notation O
the class and price stamped OF
them" he wrote. After a certain
date no shoe. other than these
should be sold Being made in mas
production, with limited styles ant
colors. the cost would be low.
THE present supply Of shoes cal
be sold for another six months
After that only 'the standardlze'
shoes made on Government speclfl
cations should be sold. This ste
should be taken now in order t
break the continuity Of rising price
for the bare necessities.

Urge Farmers to
Raise Seed from
Austrian Peas
New crop offers big
possibilities guests of
c.. of G.. are told

Fifteen or twenty farmers in the
district, from both the lower valley
and the Highlands, were guests this
noon of the chamber of commerce.
They had been invited to hear de-
tails OF the plans for campaign
to secure thousand or more acres
in this district devoted to the rails
ing of Austrian winter pea seed.
Investigation and the experience
of few farmers locally have shown
that conditions in Benton county are
ideally suited to the purpose, and
the yields and assured market at a
definite price seem to prove the new
crop an early cash producer as well
as an excellent soil builder.
These and other points were told
the farmers by Harry Fleming,
member of the Benton County Ag-
ricultural Conservation Association,
who urged the necessity of spread
ing the information concerning the
new crop to every farmer in the
county. He said the department
needed at least a thousand acres,
and two thousand if possible.
Mr. Fleming said that the pro-
gram was part of the national de-
partment of agriculture's long time
plan, but was being handled thru
the Triple-A organization simply be-
cause that organization was already
equipped to get the message to the
farmers of the Pacific Northwest.
He said that the department was
conducting nationwide farm CEN
sus which would contain a complete
record of every farm in the United
States. From the information thus
secured the department would at
tempt to increase those crops which
were of vital necessity during and
following the war and reduce those
crops of which there was a surplus.
Every farmer would be asked to in
dictate his proposed paintings for
1912. 49, = -.
. Urging the farmers present to give
the proposal their serious consid-
Grafton, Mr.. Fleming also urged
them to contact their neighbors and
explain the deal thoroughly as well.
Seed, very scarce and hard to get
at the present time, would be Sc
cured through federal grant-in-aid |
with a guaranteed price of 500 per
ton for the crop. The only require
ment is that the grower agree to sell
at least fifty percent back to the
government. H. a--.ee
Agreement blanks are obtainable |
at the conservation office or from
the county agent. r"
Several of the farmers who at
tended the meeting reported that
the new crop seemed to offer a
chance to clean up infested potato
land as well as furnishing an early
cash crop and each of those inter-
viewed was planning to try a few
acres.

Start Work on 3rd Ave
Sewer Extension

Work on the construction of the
sewer extension east on Third Ave-
nue. East was started this week, the
long delay being caused by financ-
ing difficulties. An angel has been
found to invest in the warrants un-
til the work is completed and the job
has been begun. The work will be
in charge of Roy Stafford, who has
been transferred from the street de-
partment. Kessler Campbell will
take Safford's position in the street
department. for a month at least.
After the first of November, Irwin
Liston will be promoted to COM
bination job. He will still have
charge Of the park work and man
agement of the irrigation distribu-
tion for the city as well as having
charge Of the street work.

Local Farmer Gets
S1000Per Acre
From Onions
Big yield and big price
bring big profits; make
mint record, too

Few people, probably, would guess
that the valleys most profitable crop
this season was onions, but the fol-
lowing figures will prove the state
ment.
From a measured field of Al acres
the net return, after the handling
charges were deducted, was $4,224.7l
This is an almost unbelievable rec
ord, but is atteSted by r. H. Smalley
who operates the w. j. Preston
farm on the River Road below town.
These figures show that the re-
turns were better than a thousand
dollars an acre with the yield OF
831S tons which sold at an average
price of 5000 per ton. The average
yield was 20.4 tons per acre..
The crop was harvested June Is
to 9th, with the first car out on
June 18th, probably the earliest date
a car of onions has ever been ship
ped from this point. s -
Mr.. Preston was careful to ex-
plain, however, that the phenomenal
record was only possible by a very
fortunate combination of circum-
stances. The land was in ideal con-
dition for planting, the seed was ex-
ceptionally fine and the weather
was perfect. AS a result the crop
was ready for harvesting ten days
or two weeks sooner than il ordin-
arily requires and the sizes were
above average.
The Preston farm has produced
other records, too. Last year a meas
ured acre produced a record crop
Of 50 tons and 600 pounds of sugar
beets. This year that same acre
produced SO pounds of mint oil,
which sold at sos per pound, yield
ing a return of nearly $500 per acre.
The Prestons have ga acres in
mint this year which produced an
average of rs to 80 pounds per acre,
or an average of about $235 per
acre. There are about 140 acres Of
mint this year, Mr.. Preston, jr. re-
ported, and indications are that
there will be approximately 600 in
cultivation next year, he says.
