Weather and Wheat THE world has been submerged in a mountain of wheat which seemed to grow larger each crop year. "Overpro duction" was the cry, and the constant appeal came to re duce acreage. This call came from the department of agricul ture, oftentimes without realization that some sections are ltTll04r) 4" V71AQ TWi-Jl1T-l Al Viw 4-V -? MOAWAnllirinl At 4-11 A4nrVI or that switching to some other crop merely meant to build up its surplus. Farmers felt they could not individually re duce their acreage because the secret of their individual pros? perity lay in producing the most wheat they could, often with the hopes that other farmers would raise little wheatJ As has occurred so many times in the past nature takes a hand in the crop game. After all the margin between con sumption and production is never large. While wheat is be ing harvested every day of the year in some quarter of the globe it is also being consumed in every quarter of the globe - every day. Suspend production for a few months and there would be deficiency of cereal crops for the proper sustenance of mankind. Last year nature took a hand and the winter wheat production of the American southwest was sharply reduced. The effect however was slight for still there was a world surplus. This winter nature is again interposing unkind ele ments and the southwest crop will be the lowest since the expansion of that great wheat country. In addition to a xiry fall there has been a freezing winter. This week's blizzard is adding to the destructive nature of the season. The win ter .wheat through the northwest has been winter killed. It is tjrue even in the Willamette valley where such a thing is very rare. It may be that nature will restore the balance and re duced production will result in increased price. A great deal of course will depend on the spring wheat production especially in Canada, where the total is always variable, and last year's large yield may not be duplicated this year. Price will also depend on the buying power of the importing countries, and on their domestic production. Such a crop failure in 1897 led to a sudden rise in the price of wheat which was a great factor in the restoration of prosperity to the American farms of that period. Euro pean crops were very light, the American crop was good, and our exports went abroad at a high price. The immediate need is for better prices for farm crops and wheat is noted as a pace-maker. It may not be predicted with any degree of assurance; but the elements are present for an up-surge of grain prices which will bring farm relief more substantial and more satisfactory than mortgage moratoriums Or con gressional doles. The wheat situation Is not hopeless; and while the farmers feel badly as they gaze out over fields of dead wheat, they may in the end be much better off if it helps bring about a rise in agricultural prices. Prohibition Repeal NO natter how much we may dread the resubmission of the prohibition amendment to our state constitution, such a step seems logical in view of the repeal of the enforc ing act in the last election. If statutes to effectuate prohi bition have been wiped off the books, then the amendment ffk Imnotent. It is worse than impotent because then it ef- fectnallv bars any control legislation of any kind. So wMle we are not supporting repeal of state prohibition, we do say bon recruit-eerrice; li-oo. noon that it is necessary that the state clear up the present an- tide prayer followed by luncheon -,ir, oJfnoHnn wViM-e w have constitutional nrohibition 40 o served In tho basement ot -"rr- -"rr" " .:;r tnu, inrouxn suence, siawwijr ine ones, ix me qucsuuu ed ud. and until the federal . opportunity to fight directly lor tne cause 01 state promm- region, by Mrs. Goodrich, county tion; and if it is retained, to insist on legislation to carry T- L HSf'rSS! ent the constitution effectively.

The house committee on naval affairs reject, ed President Roosevelt's argent recommendation that congress au thorize the building of four battle ships at total cost of $38,000,000, and instead authorized construc tion of two battle ships at $.500. 000 each, to be of the Delaware typ. February 19, 1928 No holiday for Marion county students on Lincoln's birthday, the county school superintendent has decided. House members abandoned Im portant committee work yester day to romp through the house engaging in burlesque discussion of a bill to prohibit smoking in the house and senate. The bill, introduced by Rep. Campbell of Multnomah, by request, first pro hibited smoking or chewing of to bacco on all state owned property. bat later was amended to include only the house and senate cham bers. The bill was finally voted down. Senators Zimmerman, Taylor and La Follett yesterday contin ued their war against secrecy in the ways and means committee meetings by introdecing a resolu tion permitting newspaper repre sentatives to attend the sessions of the committee.

Oh how much wisdom from above is needed in such an hour. The sabbath congregation as also the schol increases or rather bo- comes more permanent every win ter for 6 or 7 months in propor tion as the quantity ot grain rais ed in this vicinity yearly increas es. It is quite probable that for many years at least what is done in the way school teaching espe cially, ft preaching may be added, must be done during the I or 7 months of cool season.

V - Tho remarkable success of the Spalding mission in teaching the Nea Perce Indians, getting them to pursue the art. of arxienltnra. and converting them to tho Chris tian religion, was outstanding in an American experience. To this day, tho church thus established at Lapwal, Idaho, per sist, and maintain, services, after I nearly 109 years and lthas - warm, from tho first years, had In dian pastors. The lower Net Perce Indians, in the Lapwal district, were among tho most friendly of all American tribes; most friendly to tho whites. The upper Nea Perce branch of that tribe, under Chief Joseph the elder and Use younger. were often hostile and tho younger Chief Joseph led United States soldiers one ot tho longest campaigns in point of distance in all tho annals of Indian warfare. S Chief Lawyer ot the iower Nea Parce branch was upstanding in scholarship and leadership in friendly relations with tho whites. One ot his grandsons was long a pastor of the Lapwal church. Mlsa Mylle Lawyer, his daughter, great granddaughter of the original Chief Lawyer, is a member of the present class of Willamette un iversity, Salem. I ON PROGRAMS AUAUsVILLE, Feb. A most enjoyable program waa pre sented by the 8alem Zonta dub under the auspices of the Salem chamber of commerce, at the Community club meeting held at the school house Tuesday night. A short business meeting pre ceded the program. It was voted to cooperate with the Parent and Teachers' association to provide some entertainment for the chil dren and young people of the community. It was also decided that the men should give the March program and the women the April program. Five judges, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Porter, A. A. Nlccolson, Mrs. Cornelia E. George and Theodore Hlghberger, were appointed to see ,which gives the better program. The losers will entertain with a par ty. Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Carlson were appointed as chairman of a committee on civic Improvement. Tho program consisted of six numbers by pupils from the Bar bara Barnes school of dancing. Psuline Chambers, Marian Coo ley, Jean Adams, Audrey Fehler and Eugene Sewell. Dr. J. Vinton Scott who with his wife went to China in 1919 and lived there until recently, showed some wonderful pictures of China. He also showed pictures taken while the actual fighting was going on in Shanghai. Mrs. Scott also gave an interesting nt8toncai review and told some of the private life of the Empress of China with whom she was a personal friend. She was dressed in full Chinese costume. The largest crowd of the year was present at this meeting.

Flem ming, like many country parsons, was n man with n multitude of hobbies, and a friend might find him at work at his carpenter's bench, ankle-deep in shavings, or forking potatoes in his vegetable garden, or busy making trout flies with his biff, but dexterous fingers. His study was a long, low, pleasant room, its big French window, look- ing like painted panels let Into the wall, each with its glimpse of sleek eras, flower borders piled high with colour, grey old walls, and sDlendid trees. Pleasant disorder prevailed here. Fishing-rods, but- terfly-neto, guns, a bow, and walk- ing-stick. were piled in the corners, Tho book-ahelTe. held not only books, but collectors boxes, cork spreaders for setting butterflies and motha. fishing-reels, canvas bags, a hunting crop, and gloves. Dis - order prevailed also over the rec- tor's desk. Sermons, florists" eata- ioguea, bills, circulars, pamphlets. fir-books, odd knives, and pipes lay as they pleased. The carpet, that had been worn to no colour in par- ticular, had a big hole in the centre of the floor. It was the room of a man who led a large, pleasant, placid life, a man who read on dooks, preacneo his old sermons, and was an expert in the matter of wild life and of flowers.
