The list will show what labor gets in increased wages under the industrial program, and what farmere must pay for the things they buy. It is logical that the government, having stimulated prices, should take measures to keep them within bounds. Wages inevitably lag behind price increases, even when these in creases do not have the stimulation of bounties and produc tion control. And while mass purchasing power unquestion ably will be greater under the recovery program, there are millions of individuals who have not yet felt its benefits and will not for a long time to come. A fair price list will provide a measuring stick for the buying public, and the operation of public opinion will dis courage gouging. In the long run, public opinion will be the most effective means of control, although other meas ures are available if they are required. AN EVER-WIDENING CIRCLE There has been much discussion of how many people will be given work as a consequence of NRA's establishment of , a work week of 35 hours in factories and 40 hours in the so-called white-collar pursuits. The National Industrial Conference Board attempts to give a partial answer. It estimates that S38,000 additional factory workers would be needed to maintain the output as of May of this year, and 841,000 workers in "other pursuits." This is a total of 1,680,000. The figure does not, of course, make allowances for in creased activities which would result in many ways from the return of this number to work. Nor does it include those who are returning to work as a result of the general upturn in business. Apparently there is no way to make a definite calculation. Higher payrolls bring increased consumption, and increased, consumption brings more jobs. The theory is that the re covery process will operate in an ever-widening circle. 5 Health : , INTERMITTENT IIEAIMCIInS Intermittent headache sometimes are called migraine. This term Is ap plied to a common malady, of which the essential characteristic Is recur ring Intense headaches, otten asso ciated with vomiting and with pe-i culiar disturbances of vision. i It is known that migraine is more common among women than men. The usual history of the disease is that It appears erly in youth, that It tend to diminish in Beverlty after middle life and frequently disappears in old age. It la known that migraine-like headaches are associated with dis eases of the kidneys, cerebral tumors. Infections of the- sinuses, atoceswl teeth, faulty vision and badly fitted glasses. There are a number of coaoa of mi graine which can be traced to so calod protein sensitivity and to wiuii is popularly termed Intestinal Intoxi cation. A large number of ccues of inter mittent headache are associated with menstruation. The oufferers report that the headache appears either a d.iy or so or several hours before or simultaneously with the onset of nu nstruatlon. It has been demonstrated tliat the pl.ultory gland of Internal secretion located at the base of the brain Is lunctlonally relawd to the ovaries on hence, with menstruation. The fact thut these cases of Inter mittent headache were so closely as sociated with menstruation suggested that some abnormAlitv of nit.ti. i tary nught perhaps be at the Uwis cf the headaches. In a number of cases studied It was found that tho bony structure In which the pituitary gtand Is placed was abnormally developed, so that when In response to tho normal cycle the gland swelled, pressure resulted and hence the severe headaches. By the Injection of a quantity of hormone derived from the ovaries of animals it was found possible to free the patients either completely or ap preciably from their periodic head t:hes. Presumably this hormone af fects the pituitary, causing It to shrink somewhat. , Publisher End General Manager , Business Manager M.eo . 60 Mall 800 -S3 .60 -W.0O CONSUMERS somewhat disturbed by the Clark Wood Says , Murderous Mania Raging All Over Land."

Baker forest, near Peshas tlu on the Wenatchee forest, and Ka -uiela oa the UuiatlUa forest, the hj.vy crop being mostly on young tree. Puuderosa pine Is bearing a heavy crop in the vicinity of Seneca und Kunieia. Ore., and PeshasUn, Wash. Western red cedar has a heavy crop along the vest slope of the Cascades but not along the coast or east of the mountains. From the Mt. Hood forest comes the report of a heavy cone crop of western hemlock, noble fir and white fir. and from the Rogue River forest the report of a heavy crop of vest' em white and sugar pine. These seed crop reports of all for est trees sent In to the Pacific north west forest experiment station from 40 localities on 20 national forests serve as a guide for seed collection activities of state and federal ogencieo and private collectors. Private com panies have built up a slzeabW In dustry selling tree seeds both to do mestic and foreign trade. The seed crop reports are also fairly reliable Indicator of the amount of natural reproduction that will oc cur on logged -off land provided it Is protected from fire. As a result of the moderately heavy Douglas fir cone crop in 1932, seedlings were more abundant this year than any season since 1924 following the heavy cone crop of 1923. 8 4 1101 LAKE 1'ENSONAI.S S After a stay of several weeks, Charles Miesse. of Hoqulsm, Wash., returned home greatly Improved in health.

' 46,000 A farmer with an average of 1000 acres of wheat In crop each year will profit to the extent of $3072 over a three-year period U he Joins the wheat acreage reduction movement, according to a hypothetical case compiled by Walter Holt, county agent of Umatilla county. He has taken the number of acres planted and the number of bushels harvested by this mythical farmer for the years 1929. 1930, 1931 and 1932 and has cjlvided each total by four to get the average number of acres and the average number of bushels. 1000 and 20.000 respectively. Using a basic price of 76 cents a bushel, the receipts of the 1033 wheat crop, for which there would bo no reduction in acreage, would be $15,000. Accord ing to the Agricultural Adjustment Act the farmer would receive In cash from the government 28 cents a bushel on 54 per cent of the average crop . harvested during the four years of the base period. This would amount to $3024. Receipts Total $-18,072 For next year's crop (1934) a reduction of 20 per cent In the acreage Is assumed, making a total of 16,000 bushels Instead of 20,000 bushels for that crop. The 28 cents a bushel paid to the farmer by the government will again be based on 64 per cent of the farmer's average four-year production (20,000 bushels). This will amount to $30.24. For the 1935 crop the same process Is repeated. The totol receipts, including money received from sale of wheat on the open market and money received from the government under -the wheat acreage reduction program, will amount to $48,072. Non-Slsner Receives Less But if the farmer stays out he will not, of course, receive any cash payments of 28 cents a bushel on his wheat. In the case cited, he will produce more wheat each year with the exception of 1933 and sell it for the same price 'on the open market; however, his total receipts will be $3072 less than the receipts of tho farmer who Joins the movement to reduce the wheat acreage on his farm. It is pointed out that those who slgiO may not have to reduce their acreage: they must merely agree, if required, to reduce their wheat acreage for 1034 and 1935 by not more than 20 per cent of their average during the four-year base period. They will receive the cash payments from the government whether or not they are required to reduce their acreage, but they must sign the contract. The allotment of 64 per cent is the estimated proportion of the five year average production in the United States, 1928-1932, that will be the domestic tax-paid consumption.
