j PROTECTING
Consumers who have been
rapid rise in the prices of food and other necessaries will
welcome publication by the government of a weekly "fair-
price" list for their protection. 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.

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.

Douglas Itr, the most Important

Uv eke PurC&wood lake nylon on the
Columbia forest, along: the Sauk river
uu Che Mt. 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.

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.
