The farm relief bill was <iincted
by congress lute last week and has

ance with the policy favored by
President Hoover. The friends of
the measure are confident thut tak­
en together with the tariff duties on
foreign agricultural products, it will
result in material practical benefit
to the farming industry. A board
of twelve members appointed by the
President will have a revolving;
fund of 8500,00(1,600 to use in carry­
ing out relief measures and support­
ing co-operative marketing of pro­
ducts. It is an experiment thut will

CENSUS BILL IS SIGNED BY
THE PRESIDENT
President Hoover signed the cen­
sus and renp|M>rtionment bill.
The new act has a twfl-fokl pur­
pose; provision for the regular de­
cennial count of the |M>pulation and
the setting up of a plan for reap-
portionment since 1910.
The census count will be for the

mcmlM-rs w ill gain additlonal rep­
resentation, while several other
slates will lose seats.
The size of the house w ill lx- re­
tained at its present number, 432
members.
Disposition of the census-reap-
portiomiM-nt question was one of
the major task* listed by President
Hoover for the special session. This
and farm relief now- have been act­
ed U|x>n. Of the others, the tariff
bill is pending before the senate
finance committee and the senate
has refused to approve n resolution
to pospone operation of the national
origins clause of the immigration
act.
The census act also provides a
continuing arrangement whereby
all future decennial census and re-
apporlioninenls will take place au­
tomatically without further enact­
ment of law- unless the present stat­
ute is repealed or superseded.
An arn(\1 of 100.090 workers,

census of unemployment, agricul­
ture and irrigation in the United
States and Its possessions. The
w-ork will cost in excess of -39,000,-
000.

Labor conditions in Oregon dur­
ing May were favorable generally,
though there continued to be a sur­
plus of unskilled worker* in Port­
land and most of the upstate cities,
according to the report of the Pa­
cific division of the United States
employment service, department of
labor.
The report states:
With spring activities well under
way, there wa* a decrease in the
number of unemployed workers
during May. Farming, fishing, fish­
canning. building and general con­
struction work absorbed many
skilled and unskilled workers. The
demand for help for fruit and grain
harvesting will soon be felt and will
further reduce the surplus of labor.
While there was some curtailment
in lumbering activities, practically
all plants were in operation ami the
skilled labor supply was w ell em­
ployed. A surplus of unskilled la­
bor wa* apparent throughout the
month.
ORCHARD HEATING SUBJECT
OF NEW FARMERS’ BULLETIN
Orchard heating must be regarded
as a form of crop insurance says
Floyd I). Young of the Weather
Bureau, who observes that “Hie ef­
fectiveness of orchard heating when
properly handled in preventing
damage from frost in the Pacific
(.oast States is no longer open to
question,” provided the expense is
justified by the returns from the
crops.
“The yearly premium on the pol­
icy. says Mr. Young is the total av­
erage cost of heating. Insuring the
fruit crop by installing orchard­
heating. equipment can not be dir­
ectly compared with insuring a
house against damage by fire, for it
is reasonably sure that the fruit
crop will be damaged by frost every
few years, while insurance on a
building may be carried for a gen­
eration without fire damage. As a
general rule, during years when
orchard-heating expense« are heav­
iest, there is a shortage of first
grade fruit, which brings better
than average prices.”

night about 11:30 p. m. about % mile north of Deer Park Inn on

Diamond Lake w ill yield a take

according to Matt Ryckman, super­
intendent, who has just returned
