W. F. Woodward's Plea for
Permission to Replace

as "partly cloudy" and all the rest
were cloudy and this In the month
when Spring Is expected to be budding-
and burgeoning: and settlor the
lambs to gambol on the green.
Out of those 26 days recorded
"cloudy" It rained on 24.
It rained more than it has in any
April since 18S4. It rained E.38 Inches,
which is 2.31 inches more than the
normal precipitation.
It was 2.2 degrees too cold to be
a normal April and this on the heels
of three years of Aprils in which it
had never been warmer than usuaL
It had 27 thunder storms.
May came in yesterday, bright, clear
and smiling a stunning contrast to
her sulky sister. -
Everybody is hoping now tnat Apm

ousness that normally gets spread over
both April and May crowded into one
month, in which case we may have
weather that will make us lorget ana

Commission Believes Men Who Are
Hot Accepted by Military Can
Be TJeed to Kill Places of
Those Who Enlist.
The Industrial Welfare Commission
yesterday turned down the plea of W.
F. Woodward, of the Woodard-Clarke
Drug Company, to employ women
clerks after 6 o'clock at night. Appli
cation was made to the Commission re
cently by Mr. Woodward asking for
this privilege, and he cited as the rea
son for it the fact that men are being
recruited in the ranks of the Army and
Kavy in large numbers and that this
drain may likely result in a. labor
shortage, as it affects men. He de
sired to replace these men with girl
clerks, he said, when necessary.
The Commission held a conference
meeting on this topic recently, and it
yesterday formally concurred in the
opinion of the conference, to the effect
that no emergency now exists and that
the present situation does not warrant
any change In the ruling now in effeot.
Employer to Be Protected.
"In case the suggested emergency
should arise in the future," said Father
O'Hara, chairman of the Commission,
"we will take steps to prevent any
hardship being forced upon employers
In this respect."
A letter was directed to be sent to
tlr. Woodward, stating the position of
the Commission in regard to his appli
cation. The conference report was
made to the Commission by Alta S. Cor
fcett, Mary Frances Isom and Richard
W. Montague. It is as follows:
Tour conference to which was submitted
the request of the "Woodard, Clarke Company
for a modification of the Commission's rul
ings so as to permit women to work after
6 o'clock F. M., In certain mercantile estab
lishments, has held publlo hearings, an
nounced through the press, at which all
evidence and arguments presented by persons
advocating or opposing the proposed change
have been heard.
After a careful consideration of such evi
dence and erguments we are of opinion that
no sufficient emergency exists at the pres
ent time to warrant a modification of the
order.
Like everyone else, we heartily approve
the position of employers who feel that men
of suitable age and qualifications should be
encouraged to enlist, and that their positions
should as far as possible be held open for
them against their return; and the most
unstinted praise Is due to such employers as
are willing to sacrifice their own profits to
keep up. in whole or in part, the pay of
men who are rendering to the country ardU'
ous and dangerous service for a pittance.
But it does not appear on the evidence
before us that there is any difficulty, actual
or imminent, in filling tho places of men
who are enlisting with other men of practl
cally equal servlceableness who. for one rea
son or another, are not acceptable for mili
tary service.
It may be true that women are better
adapted to some of this work than men by
reason of their personal qualifications or
that they are more willing to accept tem
porary service- because of their being other
wise supported in part, but these considera
tions go either to the general question of
women's work and working hours, on grounds
entirely apart from any present emergency
or else to the question of labor supported
from other sources than its own pay, both
of whtch are quite without the scope of this
conference, and could not properly be gone
Into without opening for general Investiga
tion and review the whole question of
working hours and pay for women.
Women 'ot Hoxr Required.
"While we have not attempted any eonsld
eratlon of these larger questions it may not
be amiss to say that we believe a distinc
tion with respect to the time of women's
work may Justly be drawn between those
occupations, such as selling special lines of
merchandise which so far as the major In
terests of the community are concerned can
perfectly well be confined to daytime, on
the one hand, and on the other hand occu
pations which It is manifestly for the gen
eral m'elfare to encourage, such as night
schools, libraries, or charitable activities, and
also those enterprses which cannot be sue
cessfully conducted without night service.
such as restaurants, moving picture shows,
and the like.
There are undoubtedly extreme cases where
the distinction is of doubtful validity, but
every general rule Is difficult and uncertain
of application at its margins. It should be
expressly said that the dispensing of drugs
does not as at present conducted require the
cervices of women and la not here undjer
consideration.

RADISHES are essentially an early
season crop, but they do not thrive
well during the hot Summer months.
For early crops they require hot-bed
treatment, but can be sown In the open
ground as soon as danger of severe
frost is over and the season opens up
well. They should be planted in rows
12 to 18 Inches apart about -inch deep.
One-half ounce will be sufficient to
plant a row 100 feet long.
For Eastern Oregon and higher alti
tudes from, April 20 to Way 80 is a
good time to plant this vegetable,
warmer seasons anywhere from April
10 to June 10. After the plants are up
they should be thinned out from 3 to 5
Inches. On a quick, rich soil, some of
the very earliest varieties will mature
In about three or four weeks. It should
be remembered that radishes grow
aulcklv. and up to a certain time are
crisp and fresh, beyond that they be-
come coarse, woody ana very Diner,
hence they must be harvested when
ready.
Lettuce is another cool-season crop
that does not thrive well during hot
Summer months, and therefore makes
its best growth either in early 6pring
or in the late Fall. Characteristic of
most leaf plants, in order to retain the
fresh crlspness that Is so much oesirea
the plants should be grown rapidly
and receive no checks In order to at
tain this quality. The usual method
for the small gardener would be to sow
the seeds in a row. thinning them out
as they come up so they will be good
sized plants when mature.
For Eastern Oregon, the Tennis Ban
and Hanson, both head lettuce, would
be the best to use. planting -lnch
deep in the soil in rows 10 to 14 Inches
apart, thinning out from 6 to 10 Inches
in a row. A hair-ounce or seea win
usually be sufficient for a 100-foot
row. Under normal conditions roost
any time after April 10 Is a good time
to start planting, sowing the crop
every 10 days or two weeks thereafter
for succession until the Summer heat
becomes more intense. The head let
tuce is far superior for field use than
the leaf and on the average will pro
duce more for the seed sown. It is not
so liable to become bitter and coarse.
For early crops the plants may be
started In the seed box by the window
and transplanted to the garden after
they have been allowed to become tiara
ened off by setting the box outdoors
two or three days before they are
Dlanted in the garden, bringing the box
in during cool nights. The lettuce
crop can follow the radish or be plant
ed with the radish as a companion crop
using places where the radishes have
been pulled for table use.
A crop that is usually liked by every
family and can be grown under a wide
range of climatic and soil conditions
is the onion. However, to the mar
ket gardener, growing the onion crop
means the highest form of garden
tilth, the most successful onion gar
dener being he who prepares his
ground in the very best possible man
ner. The seed is small and must come
in contact with the soil particles in
order to sprout and make a good
growth. . A haphazard ground pre
pared loosely will nearly always spell
failure in onions. There are many
ways of growing the crop.
First By seeding directly in the
garden.
Second By growing seedlings in the
hotbed, or specially prepared seed bed
for transplanting.
. Third By growing onion sets.
This crop requires a lot of hand
work and shallow cultivation. The crop
may easily follow some other in the
general plan, or if onion sets are used,
can be intercropped with the tomato
plants, etc.
If growing from sets, usually one
quart would be sufficient for the av
erage family and in most markets costs
about 25 cents or SO cents. Onion sets
will ripen earlier than the seeds sown
in the field. If a crop is to be trans
planted it can either be grown in the
seed boxes by the window or in a Spe
cially prepared seed bed on the south
side of the sun building. One-half
ounce should furnish plants enough for
the family this way. When the seed
lings have come up about 6 inches
high and are about the size of a lead
pencil, they can be transplanted.
Frequently tearing off part of the
roots and half of the tops has a very
invigorating effect. When grown from
the seed in the garden the yellow
Globe, Danvers or Australian Brown
seem to give the best results univer
sally. One ounce would be sufficient
for a 100-foot row, sowing the seeds
one-half Inch deep in rows 14 to IS
inches apart and thinning out to 3 to
4 inches in the row, or Just enough
space to allow good development for
an average sized bulb. In the higher
altitudes of Eastern Oregon soma dif
ficulty may be experienced with ma
turing the crop, as frequently the short
season will catch the onions before
they are ripe. Onions can be matured
by two ways; first, by rolling a barrel
or dragging a stick over the field to
break the tops down, and second, by
pulling out the onions, twisting off the
tops and leaving them on the ground.
Frequently bulbs that have been ex
tremely green have matured to nice
dry onions in this manner. It will take
the bulbs from two to three weeks
of constant drying in the garden to
become matured enough to place in
the cellar. Turning them' over as they
lie on . the ground in the open fre
quently aids to harden them off.
