Warn TO Check
Water In Wells

Well owners, particularly those
in areas experiencing heavy run
off of spring snowmelt and with
heavy spring rainfall are remind
ed this week by the Washington
state department Of health to
check the safety of well-water
supplies against pollution.
According to the engineering
division of the state health depart
ment, after the past winter of
heavy precipitation all property
owners with individual wells
should check for accumulations OF
water near well sites. Pending
of surface water or rain water
near wells may result in rapid
seepage of contamination into the
source of supply.
The state health department
advises the well owner himself
to check at this time of THE year,
a number of points. = #s
Water-tight construction of the
cover is important in all types
of wells. .''..-.-
In case Of dug wells, the casing
should be closely inspected for
porous qualities that may be per-
uniting seepage into the shaft.

County Agents Column

The G. I. veterans of the Pros
ser area have just finished a two
day school, studying the basic
principles of farmstead home
arrangement. The class, recruited
by the Vocational Agriculture
instructors, Fred Martin and
Frank Stephens, attended sessions
Thursday afternoon and evening
and Friday morning and after
noon, that were conducted by
State college specialists from Pull
Imam.
The specialists included Miss
Helen Noyes, home management
specialist, who gave enlightening
talks on time and motion studies
which have been conducted in
the past few years as to efficient
kitchen arrangement and also room
arrangement in the house itself.
She stressed that most activities
in the kitchen are from right
to left motions and really helped
the class design kitchens with a
streamlined effect whether they
were the U shape, the broken U,
parallel wall shape, or the L
shape.
H. E. Wichers made the study
of farm arrangement easy with
his use of circles to establish the
5 basic fixed factors on the farm
in relation to location Of the farm
stead. These factors are slope

Drilled wells should have the
hole around the top at the sur
face of the ground checked 10
insure that there is no seepage
down among the steel shaft.
Driven wells should be checked
for leaks at joints in the drive
pipe which extends DOWN to the
source Of supply. So-Called older
model pitcher pumps" for this
type and older wells with open
spouts may cause pollution
through pump leakage. Packing
seals at the pumps should be
checked to ascertain that an alb
solutely tight connection is not
allowing anything to enter.
The nearest local health depart
ment or the state health depart
ment will answer inquiries re-
garding wen pollution or con-
struction' of new wells.

nomic classification of the farm
ITSELF. In the sessions held. those
fortunate enough to attend were
itself. In the sessions held, thos,
to plan farmstead arrangement
plan the room arrangement tc
take advantage of these factors
1t was brought out that the
farmer in this sort of plannine
mas the world at his feet. Al
many of the new Roza farmers
do have the choice of any spot
on the farm to take advantage
OF these conditions in contrast
to city builders on city lot who
have practically no choice as 10
how they can build their house
The fact that the farmer does
nave these choices carried with
II also the responsibility to care
fully consider all these fac,ors
So that the final building does
not violate some of the basic
rules or does not lose the opprtun-
tiles he has in locating and ar
ranging the permanent home.
Statistics show that the privilege
OF building a new home is en-
joyed by only one person in eight
during lifetime. The others
usually live IA homes built by
someone else.
Arthur eagle, State College
economist in farm management,
gave some very instructive and
interesting discussions ON loca-
ting the entire farm buildings.
The modern trend is farmsteads
built around a central court,
usually back or to one side in
back of the main house, which
should be the prominent building
from the view of the highway.
For efficient operation these
buildings are located on the out
side of the court so that no one
building is TOO far from the
house and those buildings most
often visited and used are cor
rectly put closer to the farm home.
The farmer and his wife are
partners in the farm enterprise
and with this in view, the kitchen,
the work room of the farm wife,
is usually placed where she has
an unobstructed view of most of
the. things going on in the farm
stead.

Cook Inlet Basin First On Army Engineers Survey

SEATTLE, CP)-The 47.5OO sq. mile Cook Inlet basin will be the first section of Alaska to be cov- cred in the army engineers sur Vey, looking to a large scale de- velopment program for the Terri tory.
 This announcement was made by Col. o. E. Walsh, new division engineer, at Portland.
 Hearings are to be conducted at Anchorage, Kenai, Kasilof, Ho- mer, Seldovia, and other points by Col. Lyle E. Seeman, district en- gineer at Anchorage, Col. Walsh said.
 Actual preparation of plans will be under Col. James c. Truitt, head of a special survey division, operating from the Portland divi- sion office.
 The Cook Inlet basin studies will include proposed navigation improvements and the possibility of multi-purpose projects involv- ing large hydroelectriC develop ments. These studies are part of the preparation of a 1908 report" ;" covering general development of natural resources of Alaska, sim liar to the recent report proposing a multi-bill.on dollar program for the Columbia River basin.
 Walsh recently succeeded Col. Theron D. Weaver as division en- gineer in charge of army engin- ger operations in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. Weaver has been transferred to Germany.
 Under the new program most of the Alaska work previously done from the Seattle district office will be transferred to Alaska. The Seattle office, however, will com plete work on the various projects it now has underway.

UNIFICATION CAN PROVE EXPENSIVE
(Hugo $. SimS)

The creation of national defense establishment, with single military figure at the head of the three services, is in line with the effort to uny the ices and to economize the cost of national prepar- edness.
 Herbert Hoover former President, recently told the House Armed Services Committee that the provision for single military head is mot only unavoidable, but might be dangerous to the country.
 We do not have the full statement of MT. Hoover available for study, but apparently he has in mind the possibility that the mistake of single military leader could have disastrous consequences for the nation in case of We have repeatedly expressed the same idea in connection with discussions unifcatOn of the armed services.
 We are not willing to risk the future security and safety of this country in the effort to money on preparedness activities. It is quite possible that if the future defense of this country depends upon single plan for the nation might find itself in the position of France after depending upon the Magnot Line.
 While may not be cheaper it will be safer to let the Army, the Air Force and the navy plan the tactics and strategy of their respective fields of servce Thus the three services will not necessarily develop identical plans, procedures and programs but in the event Of war, of the three will have someting capable of de- lending the nation

 Alfred Owen, business agent for the AFL United Fishermen of Cook Inlet, said the new prices automatically will be paid to members of his union.
 CIO cannery workers accepted the across-the-boards wage raise of ' cents an hour offered by the salmon industry before the strike, but the agreement settled two other major points at issue.
 A proportionate increase in sea- Sonal guarantees was granted, along with the stipulation that resident cannery workers will have their guarantees applied in full to the remaining five weeks of the season.
 Wage scales for cannery work CTS now will start at Sl.52 an hour, or S229.50 where they are employed by the month subsist- ence and travel pay also is pro- Vided.
 While some canneries along the inlet operated on a reduced scale during the strike, most of the in dustry was tied up as tendermen respected the picket lines of the fishermen and cannery employees.
