CROP DEMONSTRATIONS ARE
SUCCES8FIX
Throughout Crook and Deschutes
counties there have been many field
demonstrations started by County
Agriculturist Blanchard. These
varied as to the most important
needs of the community, and covered
the most pressing problems. In the
stock sections, trials have been made
with some perrenial grasses in an
i attempt to seed down the barren
I hillsides, which were once in natural
clothing, but over stocked. In oth
er places a demonstration was made
with the use of sulphur against ap
plications of gypsum, while other
sections were trying out varieties of
barley, rye, wheat and oats that ap
pear to be better adapted to the
conditions.
The County Agriculturist Is mak
ing a review of the work this month,
and finds gratifying results on every
band. Most noteworthy of all, is
the comparison of the spring rye,
over the common variety grown.
While it is early yet for yields, on
field inspection, there is a market
advantage. Where the use of sul
phur has been tried in these plots,
a slight increase is discernable. It
is expected that the second cutting
of alfalfa will reveal a more pro
nounced difference. Mr. R. E.
Grimes, of Bend Grange Hall dis
trict, is the largest user of sulphur
and claims big things for it.
There are about 50 men co-operating
with the County Agent's office
in assisting to demonstrate the use
of better varieties and practices for
their community. They will keep
careful records and after harvest, it
is expected some valuable demon
stration will be obtained for the
county. This method of field
demonstration is regarded by the
Department of Agriculture as the
most important work of the County
Agent System. It attempts to solve
the problems in a practical way,
for making farming more profitable.

PASSED BY SENATE

It came from the house a month ago,

modified but still giving the president'
broad authority to regulute fowls,
feeds and flit U ; providing or a board
of three food commissioners Instead
of a single Individual and authorising
a minimum guaranteed price of 'i a

senate.
Prohibition provisions, prohibiting
further manufacture of distilled bev
erages and directing the president to
buy all distilled beverages lu bond,
were left unchanged. The final vote
on the bill was 81 to .
Those voting attains! the bill were:
France, Penrose. Sherman, Suther

An amendment by Senator Owen,
creating a joint congressional commit

An amendment by Senator Tillman,
appropriating J 10.000.000 for govern

MAY LOWER FLOUR PRICES
Big Reduction Predicted aa Result of
Minimum Wheat Price.
Chicago. The senate amendment
to the food control bill, fixing a $2
minimum on the best grade cf wheat,
means lower flour prices,' In the view
or J. P. Griffin, president of the Chica
go board of trade.
Board of trade operators have be
lieved that the wheat minimum should
have been placed higher, as July fu
tures closed Saturday at $2.55 per
bushel and September at $2.27. Cash
wheat sold at $2.49 a bushel for No. 3
northern, which is two grades below
No. 1 northern, fixed as a basis for
the $2 rate by the senate action.
Speculation In wheat and corn bas
practically ceased. The grain trade
is frankly puzzled as to the future of
the market, assuming that the house
will concur in the senate amendment
Minimum Wheat Price at Primaries.
Washington. The senate amend
ment to the food bill adopted by the
senate fixed a minimum price of
wheat at $2 a bushel, and is Inter
preted by western senators to mean
that this price will apply to Portland
and Seattle, which are primary mar
kets for the northwest. The wheat
growers of the Inland Empire are not
guaranteed $2 by this provision, but
$2, less the freight rate from the point
of production to sither Portland or
Seattle.
Aviation Measure Passed.
Washington. The house bill appro
priating $640,000,000 for the aviation
service was passed by the senate with
out amendment or a record vote and
with less than an hour's discussion.
It now goes to the president. Details
of plans for expenditure of the huge
sum appropriated have been withheld,
but It is known that it provides for
about 22,000 airplanes and nearly 100,
000 men.
Canada Grain Price Fixed.

supervisors for Canada has ruled that,
dating from August 1 next, the maxi

SEATTLE IS IN GRIP
OF INDUSTRIAL WAR
Seattle. Wash. Seattle Is In the
throes of the greatest lubor upheaval
la the city's history. The climax is
being awaited with grave anticipation.
On the horizon looms an Industrial
debacle that threatens to tear at the
very heart of Seattle's life and para
lyze the city's Industries.
There are many strikes, Including
the timber-workers, shingle-weavers,
express wagon drivers, junkmen and
even policemen, but above all stand
the motormen, conductors and other
employes of the Puget Sound Trac
tion, Light Power company, the '
storm center of Seattle for years. One
thousand, six hundred carmen are out
on strike. Every car Is Idle.
The Building Trades council, regard' 1
ed aa the most conservative labor or
ganlzatlon of the city, bas voted to
sanction a general strike of its 31 .
affiliated unions In sympathy with the j
traction company employes unless the
streetcar company yields to the de- '
mands of the strikers on the question i
of the union.
One of the outstanding features oly
the strike situation is the attitude ot
the police department. Already 15 of
ficers have been discharged or quit
because they firmly refused to ride as j
guards on streetcars and express wag'
ons where nonunion men are In
charge. Mayor GUI has ordered the
arrest gt these policemen on charges
of nonfeasance.
TRY TO SETTLE STRIKES
Federal Government Fears Labor Dia
putes Will Stop Ship Building.
Seattle. Under pressure from the
national government, Seattle business
men are trying to bring about settle
ment of the Seattle street car men's
strike and the lumber strikes that j
have closed many of the lumber and i
shingle mills of western Washington.
Federal officials are interested be
cause the street car strike threatens
to involve the great Seattle shipbuild
ing Industry through a sympathetic
strike of the building trades, in which j
the shipyards would become immedi-
ately affected; because the wooden,
shipbuilding industry is already suf
fering from a shortage of timber and
because a shortage of lumber for con
struction ot the national army camps
is feared.
