LIETUvOS INzINIERIQ IR.
MATININKU DEMEsIUI /. ;.

Pagal veikiancius JAW ista-
tynius inzinieriai ir matininkai
gall dirbti savo specialybes dar-
ba tik gave profesinio inzinie-
riaus liudijima, kaip ''registe-
red professional engineer" ar
"land surveyor. Kiekvienoje
valstybeje toxic dokumento is
davima reguliuoja istatymai.
Suprantama, toks liudijimas
duodamas labai apdairiai, daz-
niausiai reikia laikyti kvotimus
ir irodyti savo praktikos sta
ia.
Indianos valstybeje galima
gauti toki liudijima ligi 1850
m. sausio 1 d. be kvotimQ, jei-
gu istaiga pripazins tinkama
inzinieriaus baigta mokykla ir
gaus tinkamus atsiliepimus is
5 asmenu, ju skaiciuje 3 pro-
fesiniu inzinieriu. o atlikus re-
gistracija vienoje valstybeje,
|lengviau gauti tas pacias teises
kitoje, jei bus reikalo.
Pirmas bandymas gauti in
zinieriaus liudijima pavyko. In
dianapolio istaiga pripazino W.

poma ir suteike profesinio in
zinieriaus teises musu dipl. inz.

vyko. j Indiana. Greitu laiku tt
kimes sulaukti dar dvieju pri-
pazinimu, todel norime atkreip-
tt visu suinteresuotu kolegu de-
mesi, kad nepaleistu likusio
trumpo laiko.
Pareiskimo blanka galima
gauti is Indiana State Board

ia. " liudijima dar teks uzmo-
keti SIS. Anketoje reikia nuro-
dyti bent 8 metus specialybes
praktikos, iskaitant moksla per
A metus.
Inzinieriai, gyvenantieji XII
tose valstybese, turetu kreiptis
j panasias savo sostines istai-

Horse Judging
School in MAY

Washington's first school for
judges of all breeds of light
horses will be held at the WSC
Hilltop Stables in Pullman on
May Is and II.
Steady increase in interest in
light horses in this state in recent
years and the growing number
of such animals being shown at
fairs throughout the state has
prompted the school, according
to those in charge.
The two days of the school will
be devoted to explanation of the
various breeds of light horses,
stressing confirmation and points
which count in the show ring.
Included on the program will be
Arabians, thoroughbreds, Ameri-
can saddlers, standardbreds, quar-
ter horses, Morgans, Tennessee
walker and Appalooas. Quail
fled experts will be in attendance
to explain each breed and an
effort is being made to have at
least one class in each breed
available for judging.
In addition to judging horses
themselves, those attending will
receive instruction in show ring
classes, show ring appointments
and other features Of the 'fancy"
horse shows.
The school Is being sponsored
jointly by the Washington State
college agricultural extension SER
vice, the WSC department OF an.
imal husbandry and the Wash
ington Horse Breeders associa-
ZION. Arrangements are being
made by Joe Muir. extension
animal husbandman.

Effect Of No
Support cared

Washington mint growers were
advised this week against ex-
panding acreage and were urg-
ed to cut operating costs to meet
a possible price decline.
Wartime use of mint oil to
produce menthol which boosted
prices up to 81 a pound has been
discontinued. With no government
support, prices may fall below
the '48 price of $5.S5 per pound
but should not drop to the pre-
war level of So pound, growers
were told. -. ~2 i. 4.
Additional unfavorable price
factors listed include a decline in
exports resulting from foreign
competition, a large domestic
carryover of mint oil from the
1948 crop, and operating costs
on some Washington farms rang
ing from $500 to $2.75 per
pound. "a ~. -
"Unless operating costs can be
cut sharply, some growers may be
forced out of mint production as
prices slump" the statement con-
tinued.
This summary of the mint out
look was handed growers follow
ing a 2-year study of the states
mint industry by Lester N. Lie
vel, newly-appointed assistant ag-
ricultural extension agent station
ed in Grant county.

Warns Against Increasing Mint Acreage

Some 4,4OO acres of pepper
mint, he said, are now being pro-
duced in the state, mainly in
FRANKLIN, Benton, Yakima. Clark,
Cowlltz and Wahkiakum counties.
ana IN scattered areas in other
counties including Ferry.
Llebel, who checked operating
records on 81 farms in the states
irrigated areas during the past
TWO years, pointed to the weed
control problem as one of the
main factors leading to high op-
Grating costs. He suggested that
growers planting new acreages
select soil that is fairly free of
weeds, and obtain roots for plant
ing from fields also relatively
Tree OF weeds. Other operating
costs include manure and fertiliz-
er, cultivation, irrigation, harvest
ing and distilling.
State growers who can produce
at low costs, Liebel pointed out,
will be in the nations most fav-
orable position for mint oil pro-
auction. Yields in Washington are
the highest in the nation. In adj
dition the soil is free from anth-
racnose, fungus disease which is
now cutting yields in the mid
west. Washington's average yield
in 1947 was ATS pounds of oil
per acre compared with a naton-
al average of 1913 pounds.

Caldwell Fire Dept.
Offers Outside Aid

The Caldwell volunteer fire de-
partment has the permission of
the village council to answer out
of town calls within a ten mile
radius. Permission was granted
by the council, Tuesday evening.
The proposal which was ap-
proved by the council allows the
department to extend the radius
in cases of extreme emergency
and to exchange courtesy calls
with other towns.
Fire Chief Glen McFerren and
his men have worked out a plan
whereby an index will be kept
of all individuals and villages
who guarantee costs of the run.
Local insurance agents are CO.
operating in the sale of riders to
fire insurance policies which pays
for the cost incurred in a fire
run. The cost of the rider is negli-
gible and all property owners are
urged to consult with their in
surance agent. Villages or indivi-
duals wishing to take advantage
of the fire protection should re-
gister at the office of the Cald-
we'll village clerk.
A schedule of prevailing rates
to be charged on out-of- town
calls was set up as follows. From
zero to five miles a flat rate OF
$4,000 will be charged for the
truck, $500 per hour for each
man for the first hour and $1.0C
for each hour thereafter will be
made. All chemicals will be PAID
for at the rate of $500 per gal.
lon for each gallon used in eX-
tinguishing fire.
The local department will no.
be permitted to answer fire calls
to homes or villages where ne
! provision for payment of the cos
has been made. Several Villages
have expressed their willingness
to set aside a fund for fire pro
lection. Individuals can guaran
tee themselves protection by add
ing the insurance rider and regis
tering at the city hall.
