Flying Fishing Is Proved Success
Battle Of The Mayor" T izzles Out;

There are several landing fields
in the area. The one at Moose
Creek is provided by the forest
service and boasts strip nearly
1000 feet long. A tri-motored Ford
lands regularly to supply the rang
er station at the field.
It is wild and rugged country.
To reach the field il is necessary
to lose altitude until the plane is
skimming the tree tops, winding
with the sharp bends Of the can
yon and all Of sudden around
a hill the field appears.
Two planes of the Columbia
Aircraft company made the land
ing Sunday, a Skyranger and a
Taylorcraft. A new Swift was un-
able to maneuver for the landing
because the speed indicator had
been temporarily put out Of COM
mission.
So many planes are flying into
this remote area that the appear
ance Of the three ships was no
novelty to the crew Of the ranger
station. They didn't even look up
from their Sunday job Of cleaning

At the last minute both Mayor
j. G. Pratt of Kennewick and
Mayor Fred Huber Of Pasco Were
unable to make the trip. City
Councilman Chuck Neel subbed

Brother!
Blow That Pipe

Kennewick would be a fertile
field for the Pied Piper to work
with that irresistible music max
.er of his on Saturday, October S,
believes Caroline Skirving, chair
man of the Pet Parade committee
She invites your consideration
to the much greater facility with
which that legendary character
would be able to lure the small
fry of the city into the flowing
waters.
"In the first pa1ce," she notes,
1--WE have not one, but three, riv-
ers to contribute to the east OF his
performance. The old boy could
map out a suitable marching route
to the Columbia, the Snake or the
Yakima"
Pursuing the point, she further
expounds: whats more, were
going to have at least hundred
bows and girls mounted on bicycles
and drilled to perfection by Ray
Ribak."
So much for the advantages Of
the machine age and mobile equip
ment over the historic Hamlin
showing.
Intuitively Mrs. Skirving senses
too. that Mr.. p. p. must have been
an impressario as well as a piper.
"And to make his procession gay
and colorful," she concludes "weIl
have Ray Eads directing the
Youngsters clown band"
You'd better come a-runnin',
Skinny, if you want to join the
fun. Entries are coming in fast
Kids can register for the parade
with their own school teachers
or with Ray Eads at the Park View

D'EWART BACK

Congressma Wesley A.

which he spoke at the annual

EXPLAIN WOOL
CLIP

With the sheep shearing sea-
son not far away in Montana,
F. A. RalSton, extension live
stock specialist at Montana
State college, this week called
attention to the key points In
proper preparation of the clip
for market.
Although most Montan a
sheepmen do an excellent jon
of preparing their wool for
market, a few still do not, anu
these few take market penalties
that could easily be avoided by
more careful preparation of the
fleeces, he said.
As guides to proper prepara-
ton of the wool clip, Ralston
offers the following suggestions:
l. Shear only when the wool
is dry and do the shearing Oil
a clean, dry surface. A wooden
platform that may be kept
clean is best for shearing.
2. Pack all black, brown, gray
and other off-colOr fleeceS
separately.
8. Pack buck wool separately.
4. Keep tags and dung locks
out of the fleeceS, since fleeceS

Recommends Feed
Rution for Beef

Pointing out that dry-lot fat
tening of cattle is feasible in
those parts of Monana where
sugar beet by-products, cereal
grains, cereal by-products and
hay are available at prices that
are likely to reflect reasonable
opportunities for profit in the
conversion of these feeds into
beef, the Montana Agricultural
experiment station recommends
two rations for fattening steer
calves.
These rations are recommend
ed on the basis of feeding trials
conducted at the station here
and detailed results are con-
tanned in the new bulletin pub
lished by the station entitled
"Rations for Fattening Beef
Cattle in Montana" Copies may
be obtained from county agents
or by writing the station.
The first ration recommended
by the station consists of As per
cent ground barley, As per cent
dried molasses beet pulp, 10 per
cent linSeed meal, and alfalfa
hay.
The second recommended ra-
ton consists of so per cent
ground wheat, so per cent drieo
molasses beet pulp and alfalfa
hay.

CLARITY GRAIN
PRICE POLICY

A government price policy for
grains was announced jointly
by the Office of Economic Sta
bilization, the Department Of
Agriculture and the OPA, says
this weeks OPA release.
Grain ceiling price increases
effective May IS were made
public, with increases in pro-
tein feed prices in normal re
lationship. the announced price
schedule can be expected t.
continue, without change. until
at least June 80, 1947, the ag-
encieS stated.
The purpose of the announce
ment was to remove uncertain
tv concerning grain ceilings
and to encourage movement OF
grain for shipment abroad, as
we'll as for human consumption
and essential livestock feeding
in this country.
It was pointed out that nee
essity for using more grain for
direct consumption and less for
feeding means that next year
there will be less port, poultry
and eggs and top grade beef.
The total supply of these foods,
however, is expected to be above
prewar levels. It is planned to
make no price ceiling increases
on these products during the
year ahead, except as required
by changes in parity, as provid-
ed by law. Because of the nee
esSity for maintaining milk pro-
duction, consideration will be
given to increased feed costs in
any further adjustment in re-
turns to dairy farmers. The aim
in dairy production will be to
maintain output as closely as
possible to the record levels of
the past two years.

and thereafter, officials said,
I'm 1941, the last year for
which we have figures, tourists

that.

means thousands of extra jobs
for Montana people. Tourist
travel, since we are selling a

sources, is largely non-infla-
