Work Rushed
On Switchyard

A temporary switchboard to distri-
butte Grand Coulee Dam power to
the new Spokane aluminium reduc-
ton plant is being rushed to COM
pletion by Bureau of Reclamation
crews, as substitute for the per-
manent installation, for which e.
quipment cannot at present be oh
tanned.
The industry will require approx
mately 10000 kilowatts. starting
about May i. The two 115,000-volt
Spokane lines will be operated from
the temporary hook-up until about
September /. The steel structures
for the switchboard are scheduled for
Shipment in June, but will require
some time for erection.
Inc apparatus is being Installed
in manner that will permit chang

is considered OF VIAL Importance
After approximately one nalf hour
without heat, the aluminium reduc-
tion.pots are in danger OF freezing
up" Should this happen, it would
then become necessary 70 remove
the solidified Stag at an e.lhorbitant
cost; and, in addition, months
production would be lost. The fur
mace charge cannot be remelted af-
ter it has started to freeze.
The Bureau plans to have avail
able at all times an emergency sup
ply of power of at least so, 900 kilo-
watts, to forestall the possibility of
an extended power interruption. 1t
will also provide individual line pro-
lection that will greatly reduce the
possibility of losing both lines at
the s.me time, during bad lightning
seasons, which experience in this
locality has shown can be very SER
ious and troublesome
1t is estimated that 10000 kilo-
watt load, which the Spokane plant
will require at inst. will be increas-
ed to about $1,000 by July; and
that .lt may reach 100, 900 talmost

FISHING REGULATIONS
ISSUED BY GAME DEPT.

The Fishing regulations for 1912
issued by the state game depart-
ment are now available.
Few changes are listed in the
booklet, which is the usual pocket
sized manual. At least changes in
regulations are few, but the manner
in which the subject matter is pre-
scented makes it far easier for the
average fisherman to understand.
Instead of the old method of fix
ing open dates for each county and
then following up with a long list of
exceptions on closed waters or spe-
tally dated streams and lakes, the
book has been streamlined this year.
1t lists under each county the closed
waters; those open from April S to
November J., the regular fishing
season; those open the year around,
and ends with "all other waters OPP
en- May "a to Novem Ter L.
| The May "a date is one of the
changes listed for this year. Hither-
to the late OPENING waters have
been free for fishing on Memorial
day. This year it is the Sunday be-
fore the holiday
Another important change Is cer-
tain lakes have been ocened to the
use of feed and multiple gear, a
practice which has been frowned on
in almost every instance. Blue and
Park lake in this vicinity are re-
opened with this privilege extended.
The following regulations apply
for lakes in Grant county:
Closed waters Meadow creek,
tributary Of Park lake; Spring
creek.
Waters open April S to November
ALL lakes except Moses lake.
Waters open April to June Z,
and July l to November Moses
lake.
Waters onen the year around
Columbia river.
All others streams en- May
to September T.
The daily catch lilit is twenty
900 fish o. tie (10A onnds and
one a. ifs provid d tat the
: Above catch limit shall not contain
more than two (2) steelhead over
the length of twenty (2o) inches.

KITE FLYERS TOLD
OF ELECTRICITY HAZARD

It's kite flying time again and
and young Americans, because @.
the war planes they see fleeting a.
cross the sky, are more air minded
and kite conscious than ever before.
Willis no enc daniey kite flyina
is highly enjayabla and affords teen

be denied this specifically danger
less pastme is entirely free Of has-
ard.
In itself, kite flying Is no more
perilous than marbles or Jacks. How
ever, the possibility of severe elect
rio shock, even electrocution, accom-.
panies the sport.
In a news release received Clark
w. Miller, safety engineer of the
Washington Water Power Company,
urges parents to encourage children
to fly kites only in open spaces, a.
way from electric lines.
Three other points stressed In
Mr.. Miller's kite flying safety pro-
gram are:
/. Use only plain cotton string
never tinsel or wire.
!, 2. Never climb poles or throw
rocks to dislodge entangled kites.
g.. Keep off highways when flying
kites.

Sugar Rationiing
Is Postponed

Word was received Sunday from
the State Department at Olympia by
the school that, for some unexplain-
ed reason, the sugar rationing reg
istration had been postponed indef-
initely. The word came too late to
get the information disseminated.
When the information becomes
available as to the next dates, SUI
perintendent Fitch will be fully in
formed and will convey this informa-
ton to the public by means of this
newspaper, to the stores and to all
families represented in school.
The point to bear in mind is that
the program has not been cancelled
but merely postponed, SO watch for

PLANS DEVELOPED TO MEET
FARM LABOR PROBLEMS

Americas Food for Victory crops
will not go unharvested this year
despite the critical farm labor short
age, Henry B. Ramsey, chairman of
the state Agricultural Planning
committees farm labor group de-
clared in announcing details of a
far-reaching government program to
aid farmers in meeting their 1912
labor needs.
The government labor program,
according to Ramsey, provides for
intensive utilization Of all local Ia
Dor supplies, including school child
rem and women, and Cooperative shar
ing Of labor crews among farmers.
To facilitate the program, j. w.
Grant, of the Federal Re-Employ-
ment offices at Yakima, has been
appointed to devote null time to
state farm placement matters. Farm
placement personnel have also beer,
designated in each of Washington's
"a local U. S. employment offices.
Each will serve a given area, and
during peak labor periods, will est
ablish part time offices in localities
where there are no farm labo en-
pioymr lss i services,
Farm labor subcommittee have
been set up in "a counties, Ramsey
said, and these consist of representa-
tive farmers and local personnel OF
agencies working with agriculture.
The counties served include Agottn,
Benton, Chelan. Clark, Columbia
Cowlitz. Douglas, Ferry, Franklin,
Carried, King, Kittitas, Klickitat,
Lincoln, Okanogan, Pierce. Skagit,
Skamania, Spokane, Stevens, Thurs
ton, Wahkiakum, Whatcom and Va
kima.
Training of labor, statistics, labor
housing and similar problems will
be given attention by appropriate
government agencies whose repre-
sentatives serve on Agriculture
Planning committees, Ramsey de-
clared.
However" he added, despite all
the assistance that the government
can and will provide, first RESPONSE
hility rests with the farmers and
communities themselves. The govern
ment will look to them for leader
ship and initiative and will insist that
they make every effort to solve
their labor problems by organizing
and making fullest possible use OF
local labor resources.

Restriction of the civilian con-
sumption of dairy products -
milk, butter, cheese and the like
lis now being mentioned rs a
likely development for 1913.
This is one you can talk about
freely In advance of any actual
shortages and without creating
q scare for the simple reason
that you can't hoard milk and
butter-they'll spoil.
The shortage of milk products,
II it comes, will be directly at
tributable to a shortage of dairy
farm labor plus the extra heavy
demand for shipments overseas.
The weatherman and the cows
have all done their part nobly,
this past year. The pasturage has
been wonderful, the supply Of
feed for the winter is adequate
though high in price, and the
cows have given like nobody's
business. Only man has fallen
down on the job.

farm labor shortage is that it
takes an experienced hand to do
the job. Let the skilled dairy
farm labor 60 into war indus
tries and you can't replace it
with any migrant worker that
comes along.
Another difficulty is that
there is a greater demand for
dairy farm labor today than
there has ever been before.
There might be q shortage OF
dairy farm workers even If
there were no draft.
Anyway you run this situation
through the separator, 1t still
pours out as less milk for the
consumer. 1t will hit first as
less ice cream.
Naturally enough, per capita
ice cream consumption has gone
up so per cent since 1895, 100
per cent since 1882. You'll prob
ably have to cut down on that.
And in its place, to make up
the shortage, you might begin
getting used to dried skim milk.
It's a powder, and when you
pour it in the right amount OF
water it looks like milk, and it
has all the food value of real
milk except the butterfst and

. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTONe

ment of Agriculture for 1912
was 125 billion pounds of all
dairy products. That goal will
be missed by perhaps five bill
lion pounds, and 1t is doubtful il
1912 production can be surpass-
ed in 1943, considering the labor
shortage.
The 10 states leading in dairy
production are Wisconsin, Mimi
esota, New York. Iowa, Illinois,
Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
California and Texas, in that or
der. These 10 produce about
half Of the bulk of dairy pro-
ducts in. the country, and more
than half of the exportable sur
plus. Other states produce main
ly for local consumption. OF the
10 leading states, all but per-
haps Texas have reported ex-
tremely serious labor shortages.
NO STATISTICS
No one has any idea how
many dairy herds have been bro
ken up by this labor shortage.
Statistics of that kind just aren't
collected, nor are there any ap-
proximate figures on how great
the dairy farm labor shortage Is.
But from many areas come these
reports and the decreasing re-
ceipts at the creameries, plus
the increasing sale of cows for
slaughter tell the story.
Where is all this dairy farm
labor going? One thing the agri-
cultual economists are sure of
is that war industry is getting
more farm labor than the Army
and Navy. Draft quotas of farm
boys have been heavy in some
areas, but the big thing that
lures labor away from the farm
is the better wage scale. Fifty
dollars a week in an aircraft fac
tory sounds a lot better than $50
q month on dairy farm, even
with board and room thrown in.
Also alluring is the fact that the
aircraft job is five days 40
hours a week, while the dairy
job is seven days Sc to 70
hours.
One idea being mulled over
to provide some selectees for the
Army in farm areas while still
keeping the farms going is to
set an optional minimum of say
eight cows which a farmer must
milk if he is to stay in business.
The number hasn't been decided
on yet, but eight is as good as
any to show how this would
work. All farmers having less
than eight cows would be SUBJ
ject to having their sons and
hired hands drafted. Farmers
with more than eight cows
would have their help deferred
from the draft.
1t might be feared that rul-
ing such as this would force the
four-cow farmers to sell their
stock and thus further reduce
the production of milk, but the
Selective Service people say it
won't work that way. What will
happen, they say, is that all the
farmers with seven or less cows
will Immediately rustic around
and find enough cows to build
up their herds to the minimum
so as to get deferments for their
help.
