has Experience ,
His friends in .the valley, to say
nothing of his family, were tjulte
'disturbed week before last when a
story appeared ih tho Portland papery
about an experience which Lloyd
Woodell, son 6t M. and Mrs. Miles
Woodell of Dry Creek had had. A
letter received alnce from Lloyd feave
some of the particulars. Lloyd, wh6
is operator at station KOIN, was not
working that evonlng, but had taken
,'som'e of Mrs. Woodcll's family down
to visit the station. The, party was
laughing and Joking and in their
fun, when, Lloyd rah out the front
door, Bomeone locked the door. To
carry on, Lloyd started around to
go in the back door, but when he
turned the corner at tho rear of the
building something happened, which
ho does not khoW about. Tho friond's
on the inside, thinking Lloyd was
hiding from them, made ho inves
tigation, or he would have been
found sooner. s it was, he was
found lying unconscious near the
corner of the building, with a bruise
on his forehead and blood stream
ing from his hose. Police lmme- j
Mutely started -an investigation. ;
Their theory is that iaomo party or j
parties wero 'prowling around the j
building, and when Lloyd- dashed '
around tho cornor, fearing they had j
been approlierided, dealt him the
blow which laid him out. He was i
all right in a few hours and since 1
has been so. .

. Following an inspeatlon today of
tho Wolf Creek market road as to
its condition for surfacing, by Coun
ty Engineer S. B. Morgan and Coun
ty Commissioner W. W. Stevens, Mr.
Stevens said It would probably be
two weeks before the graveling could
be started. The county court in
tends to have this work begun at
the earliest time, In order to take
the place of the county and state
unemployment relief work which
ended March 31.
judge U. G. Couch told the editor
of the News that the graveling might
be done by hand labor Instead of by
machinery if local employment con
ditions demanded such action, al
though tho Job can be done more
economically by machinery.
-The officers here today said that
three or four local men would be
given immediate, employment, pre
paratory to the graveling Job. North

Frank McKehhon as local leader; (3)
the Wolf Creek Pig club, having 12
members and with J. A. Nice as local
eader. These certificates covered
last year's work, (1031.) and this
brings tho total number of 100 per
cent cltibs for thot pbriod up to nine.

White Wheat
WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE,
Puilman. "Washington Is the lead
ing state in the production of 'white
wheat. Sixty per, cent of the wheat
grown in the state is white; tho
white varieties grown in Central
Washington are widely known for
their high duality and usually sell
at a decided premium," 'declares E. '
O. schaefer, head or the state Col
lege department of agronomy.
'A recent survey shows a total
of 40 wheat varieties in the state.
This number is more than neces
sary for the needs df either the
farmer or miller. Fortunately, ex
cept for the 12 leading varieties, we
grow only a small amount of each.
Various agencies working , with
wheat in production, marketing,
and milling recognize the need of
restricting the number of wheat
varieties to those necessary to meet
actual requirements.
"New selections or strains are hot
sought for variety's sake. They are
welcome onlv if thev are distinctly
superior in yield, quality, adaptabll- j
lty, resistance to disease, or somo
other characteristic that makes
them more valuable commercially I
than those we now grow. The 12
leading varieties make Up 92 per j
cent of the total crop. Comparing
thlo with former surveys, we find
that the tendency is obviously to
ward standardization of goOd, and
elimination of poor Varieties."
The six leading winter varieties
now grown in the state are hybrid
128, triplet, turkey, ridit, fortyfold
and albit. The six spring varieties
grown most extensively are baart,
federation, blues tem, Junk In, Mar
quis and Thompson.

FORESTRY DEPARTMENT HAS
ENTIRE PUBLIC IN MIND
The following te a second of three
Installments of a recent description
of the duties of the forestry service,
given by E. N. Kavanaugh of Port
land, -assistant regional forester.
There seems to little question
in the public mind regarding 'these'
two values in the forest, but we. find
there is a corresponding failure to!
recognize that there are other values
in the national forests that also aro
very essential to the continued wel- i
fare of our citizens. For example, the !
national forests being at the higher
elevations, during the summer
months are visited for rest and rec-!
reatlon purposes , by hundreds andi
thousands of people. It is very de '
slrable that every reasonable oppor-1
tunity be given these people to se I
cure the rest and, recreation they j
need lh order to mentally and physi-
cally be equipped to live more hap-i
plly and bo able to develop and lm-!
prove their businesses more success-j
fully and satisfactorily. Within the:
national forests are thousands of
miles of fishing streams and numer

WASHINGTON STATS' COLLEGE,
PUllman.-V'One out of every six per
sons gainfully employed in the state
of Washington is-engaged in agricul
ture. -Indirectly agriculture sup
ports much more than a sixth 'of
tho population of the state, as the
agricultural regions make possible
the existence of towns and cities,"
states Dr. E. P. Dummeier, proressor
of economics at Washington State
college.
.."-Wheat, has -had tho largest part
lh -making possible the cities and
towns- of Eastern Washington;
apples, pears and other ;frults have
made possible such cities as Yaki
ma and Wenatchee in Central
Washington; and dairy products,
eggs, and berries have made pos
sible a large part of the prosperity
and growth of towns West of the Cas
cade mountains.
1 "Wheat, apples, dairy products
and eggs account for Just abbut
two-thirds of the agricultural in
come if this 'state," continues Dr.
Dummeier; - "The other third is rep
resented by a great variety of prod
ucts -including bulbs for flowers,
cranberries, . hdney and cabbage,
beet and turnip seeds.

by as direct producer-to-consumer
methods as the calf, there would be
j little responsibility -for the dairy
man, because nature surrounds milk

possible safeguard against deteriora

State College dairy husbandry fac

leaves this protective sphere of na
ture and enters the complex course
of human commerce necessitated
by our present-day civilization, it Is
exposed to many dangers of con
tamination. Then the dairyman
must assume the responsibility of
safeguarding its .purity and whole
someness until It reaches the con
sumer. "This responsibility Is no small
one, for milk is a delicate food. It
may be injured by bacterial con
tamination, the presence of odors
in the air, contact with certain
metals, exposure to heat, direct sun

business man, professional men and
bankers at some time throughout the
year secure business from these sep

Every time one of them disappears
out of the picture a distinct loss is picture In our modern plan of living,
