Plans Set For
Referendum on
Soil District
But two voice objection
to formation of district
in this end

"A referendum election for estab-
lishment of Soil Conservation Dis
trict in Eastern Benton County will
he held either April Is or Is, &C
cording to the recommendation of
those farmers attending the hearing
held Tuesday of this week.
The hearing was held in the Con-
servation Service meeting room, and
was attended by about forty inter-
ested persons in addition to those
men conducting the hearing. Fol-
lowing Introductory remarks by Har-
ry Hampton, chairman of the steer
ing committee, Dean E. G. Johnson,
member of the state committee, and
from the staff of the State College
of Washington, presided, and heard
comments for or against the forma-
ton of the district.
The various problems of drainage,
weed control, erosion, water duty
and other farming problems were
presented by farmers representing
drainage districts, irrigation districts
and as individuals having problems
that concerned certain groups Of
agriculturiSts. Between fifteen and
twenty men were heard, giving per-
sonal versions of their problems as
they concerned their particular
groups.
, j. w. GrinsIaw, Howard III. Ash
and Bernard Slocumb gave excel
lent accounts of the drainage prob
lens that exist in the Finley area;
T. c. Nelson, III. II. Deranleau and
G. F. Fletcher described similar con-
ditions existing in the Richland area
that were badly in need of correc-
ton. Lynn Colley, master of the Vale
grange, reported his organization as
endorsing the plan. Ed Frauen brot
up the question of noxiouS weed
menace, showing increases in the
lower valley, and the need for con-
troll Jay Perry, county commissioner
pointed out the interest of the coun-
ty, as one of the largest landowners,
and enumerated numerous problems
that had faced the commissioners.
The only objections to the propos-
ed conservation district were voiced
by Guy Story, speaking for a COM
mittee of the Highland grange, of
fering the objection that their dis
trict needed no assistance, and from
j. Bryson Brown, that the problems
discussed could be met by the indi-
viduals without outside assistance.
Following the hearing of argyll
ments for and against the plan, Mr..
E. j.. Swear, Area Conservationist
from the Spokane office, spoke very
briefly on the possible assistance
that might be expected from feder-
al agencies.
Following the hearing proper
election officials were selected, vot-
ing places recommended, and plans
made for the referendum, should the
report of the state committee be
favorable.

ments on the mobile farm labor
camp to be set up here, but num-

College Professor
Says Nation Facing
Biggest Crisis
Says state leads nation
i'm rural use of
electricity; cites facts

Stating that the State Of WASH
ington led the nation on the per-
centage of farm usage of electricity,
Prof. Smith, head of the rural cleo
trification department of the Wash
ington State College spoke today be-
fore the chamber of commerce on
that subject. He said that fully 80
percent of the farms in this state
were users of electricity and that the
program was steadily increasing.
To indicate the general usage of
lights on the farm he noted that
when the blackouts were ordered in
the egg producing areas on the coast
that egg production dropped fifty
percent. He said that under the adj
vice being given by his department
at the college, the use of ultra vio-
let rays was rapidly displacing the
use Of cod liver oil as hen condi-
toner. Other advantages, such as
the widening use of electric re-
frigerators was also of great value
in the farming areas.
The presence of a couple of army
officers at the speakers table prob
ably touched the professor off, for
he got into the war. He said that
war had three major phases: prep
aration, combat and the aftermath.
Other warning nations had complet-
ed the first phase while this country
had to combine the first two. He
said he was confident that this
country could win the war and pre-
pare for it at the same time, but
that the Shilly-shallying in high
places would have to cease before
that would be possible and the de-
lay would cost greatly in lives and
money.
He said that labor as a whole was
still not fully awakened to the dam
gers facing this country and until
the manufacturing of war imple-
ments got down 10 an about basis
wars cost would be terrific, with no
small possibility of not being able
to merge victorious.
He warned that the aftermath
would transcend anything every ex-
perienced in the history of the world
unless conditions changed soon. He
said that we could win the battles,
even, and still lose the war, unless
we won all three phases prepare
ton, conflict and the reconstruction

OTTAWA, March "a - up -
Ninety air training schools
stretching from the Atlantic to
the Pacific under a vast British
empire air program are operat-
ing at full speed in Canada to-
day, undisturbed thus far by
the stoppage of a considerable
flow of American volunteers
since the United tates entered
the war.
The actual monthly output Of
trained crews, and the intake of
new men, is a military secret but
it is known to be so substantial
as to make serious, perhaps in
the near future, the problem of
obtaining sufficient recruits.
Under the plan, Canada trains
pilots, observers, and wireless
operators-a gunners from the
United Kingdom, Australia, New
Zealand and this country.
Some 5000 Americans enlist
ed in the Royal Canadian Air
Force but by far the majority
of those have completed their
training and gone into operation
al units overseas.
Air Minister c. G.. Power has
said that the schools could han
die American recruits if I h G
United States wished to send
any here but he also said he
understood the United States
was expanding its own training
facilities and might not be in
tercsted.
1t is known some discussions
have been carried on at Wash
ington on this point.
Owing to the shipping situa-
ton in the Pacific, it is consid-
cred unlikely that more Austral-
ian and New Zealand recruits
will come to Canada for train
ing and the entrance Of tn C
United States into the war also
affects the number of recruits.

expressed wish to remain out

Acceptance of the invitation
to christen the bomber was made
only after the War Department
assured the plant in which Mrs.
Kelly works that her participa-
ton in the dedication would be
considered a part of the national
defense program. This was nee
essary, CO n solidated officials
said, because of Mrs. Kelly's en-
deavor TO establish a flawless
record on her job without days
absence from work.
The dedication will AXE place

; Jap Ships
Sunk by Subs
Merchantmen
forget Of v. 5.

WASHINGTON, March "a
(R-The Navy crossed off three
more Japanese merchant ships
today as sunk by American SUBJ
marines, whiting away with
increasing effectiveness at the
enemy's extended supply lines.
In addition, the Navy an
nounced that u. S. submersibles
had attacked and probably sunk
an enemy destroyer or anti-sub-
marine vessel, and had damaged
two 2,000-ton freighters.
All the actions announced in
last nights communique occur
red "in Japanese waters" indi-
eating that offensive actions are
being pressed ever closer to the
island empire.
The three merchant vessels
definitely checked off as de-
stroyed were a 7,00O-ton tanker,
a 6,000-ton ship and 5,000-ton
freighter.
The new victories brought the
official American tally of Japa-
nese ships destroyed or damaged
to lib since the start of the war.
The telling blows were struck by
the Nays surface ships, SUBJ
marines and planes. In addition,
Australian forces have accounted
for IS Jap vessels, and the Dutch
have taken a toll as yet unde-
termined.
Associates of Admiral Chester
w. Nimitz, commander of the
Pacific fleet, were not surprised
that he was stabbing with SUBJ
marines at Japan's line of sup
plies to the Indies. Nimitz is an
old pig boat man himself and is
well aware of the efficiency of
the undersea fighters in such wa
ters as the China Sea, where
some successful operations have
been reported in recent weeks.
Submarine service Is becom-
ing a Nimitz family tradition. A
son, Lieutenant Chester w. Nj
mitz, Jr., is understood to be on
duty with 4 , undersea force.
