ELIMINATE THE ROUGH STUFF
Suggestion by Principal R. E. Jewell that Thursday's "rough
stuff" initiation of high school boys into the letter club will
probably be the last of its kind should meet general approval.
Not that anyone can really object seriously to the horseplay,
some of it not entirely devoid of humor, which goes on in the
public demonstration on downtown streets. As long as it's
good, clean fun and no one is hurt at it, there can be no spe
cial opposition. But it isn't always good, clean fun and there
have been instances when injuries have been inflicted.
Something of the kind took place some years back when one
of the paddle swingers in such an initiation decided that if the i
flat of the paddle was good, tne edge oi it would De inat mucn
better. If the victim's squirming under an ordinary thumping
was funny, then his agony under possibly crippling blows
would be just too laughable for any use. we do not recau mat
anyone was lastingly injured. It was great good fortune that
this was so.
Thursday there was, again, too lusty paddle swinging. This,
as is ordinarily the case, apparently took place in private.
There were foot injuries resulting from some of the down
town funny business. Again we doubt that any of the hurts
will be lasting ones but they could have been. They were suf
v ficient, however, to call attention of adults on whose protests
stricter regulation is now expected to result.
It is as well. Certainly such grotesque ceremonies have out
lived their usefulness if, indeed, there ever were any. College
"traditional" observances from which the "rough stuff" high
school initiations have been copied, are to a large extent dis
continued. It has been discovered that such attentions as are
paid the individual on these occasions have nothing to do
with the developing of good football or basketball players or
track athletes. They do not even improve the quality of aca
demic effort nor add perceptibly to scholarly attainment.
The "beating up" ritual does seem a singularly inappropri
ate way of recognizing achievement actually made in athletics
by a high school undergraduate. The boy has earned his letter.
He has trained for competition, practiced before afid through
the season. He has become sufficiently proficient to play on
the team or to be entered in his track event. He has been m
enough contests or has scored enough points to be awarded a
letter. But after all this, he must be paddled, must take an
ignominious part in an outlandish, anti-climactic ceremony in
order to be admitted to an organization composed of boys who
had similarly earned their letters a year or so earlier and who
had been similarly put upon when they joined the club. s
As we said to begin with, the clowning is probably all right.
A considerable number of human beings seem to enjoy It, no
matter how much out of keeping it may be. But some of the
other demonstrations, especially those that smack, in greater
of less degree, of sadism, can be dispensed with nicely. These;
we take for granted, are what Mr. Jewell had in mind when he
hinted that the initiations will be toned down in the future. It
seems the natural thing to supposg hat such action will be
taken. ' -- ; '. ' v-v"

VIEWS OF THE CASCADES '
The Southern Pacific is about to begin running streamliner
trains between Portland and San Francisco, one a day each
way. They are calling these daylight runs though the arrival
time at each terminal is around midnight and our friend
Malcolm Epley, in his Klamath Herald and News column ac
cepts, with due local loyalty, the words of the S.P. president
that the trains will enable travellers to see the "most scenic
sections of the whole Pacific Coast by daylight."
Says Epley : v
In our area, this means the magnificent Mt. Shasta, the
run along Upper Klamath lake, the startling views of the
high Cascades between Klamath and Eugene.
Now this Epley is a good guy. Ho writes an interesting
column. His standards have been somewhat compromised,
however, by the effort he has made to publicize the Klamath
spud in competition with the unequalled Deschutes netted gem
potato. It is not surprising, therefore, to find him writing as
he does about his local scenery.
The truly startling views of the high Cascades are, of
course, those enjoyed by the traveller on The Dalles-California
highway in its course through Jefferson and Des
chutes counties.

By Peter Etlson
(NEA Washinulun Correspondent)
Washington (NEA) The new
Brannan farm plan may get a
trial run on pigs. Sen. Elmer
Thomas of Oklahoma and Con
gressman Harold Cooley of
North Carolina, chairmen of sen
ate and house agricultural com'
mittees, have introduced a bill to
make this experiment.
The legal lingo of the bill isn't
much help in understanding how
things would work under today's
plan and the Brannan plan. But
experts say the situations would
spell out about like this:
Live hogs today are selling at
around $17.50 a hundredweight.
A year ago the price was $31.00.
With today's big pig supply and
favorable corn prices, no great
gift of prophecy is required to
see that the price of hogs may
drop further.
When the fall pig rush to mar
ket begins, trouble may be ex
pected. Under the present law,
the government will have to go
into the market and buy pigs to
keep the price from falling below
$16.50 a hundredweight, which
is 90 per cent of parity
The government could buv live
hogs, but that Isn't practical. If
it ouys nogs, it would have to
buy them on the farms, then buy
feed and pay the farmers to feed
mem.
So the government would have
to buy dressed pork and find cold
storage space to keep it. It can be
Kept lor only about two vears.
The government can't sell it be
low the market price and it can
hardly give it away. To do so
would only drive hog prices down
further and make the govern
ment's problem worse. Eventual
ly the pork would have to be de
stroyed, converted into protein
tankage feed for hogs, or made
Into fertilizer or soap.
How much this would cost
can't be predicted accuratelv. But
for the sake of a guess, assume
total u.s. hog marketings of 20,
000,000,000 pounds this year, live
weight. Then assume that the
government would have to buy
1,000,000,000 pounds to support
the market. At $16.50 a hundred
weight, the government would
buy $165,000,000 worth hf llvo
hogs. If the government bought
dressed Dork, the cost wnnlH ho
$230,000,000, according to Secre
tary Brannan.
This Is the
Out On the Farm
Drosnect which
faces the government under the
present law. Now take a look at
how it might work under the
Brannan plan. In the first place,
there would be no government
buying to keen tin the market
price. The government woujd al
low the market to find Its nntnr.
al supply and demand level.
suppose the orlce drorjnerl tn
$15.50 a hundredweight, or $1 a
hundred below the present 90 per
cent of parity support level.
unoer tne Brannan plan, the
government would have to pay
the farmers the difference be
tween the market level of $15.50
and the "income support stan
dard price." This is the calcu
lated price based on the average
price over the past 10 years,
stated In terms of today's devalu
ated dollar. This fleures out in
about $17.50.
In other words, the covorn-
ment would have to pay the
farmers the difference between
$17.50 and $15.50, or $2 a hundred
for whatever pigs they sold at
the $15.50 price.
On $2,000,000,000 Dounrls llvo.
weight, or 10 per cent of the
year's pig crop, the cost to the
government would be $10,000,000
On 10,000,000,000 pounds, or half
the crop, the cost would be $200,.
000,000. Both these figures nro
loss than the cost for i.nnn.nnn.
000 pounds under the nivsint
law.
The consumer would be ahead
too. Under the present law. the
government creates an artificial
scarcity by withdrawing some of
the supply from the market. This
Keeps prices high for the con-
sumcr. The consumer also nav
for the government hnvlmr "i
higher taxes. So the consumer
pays twice.
Under the Brannan plan the
consumer would get the benefit

May 28 At last the garden Is
planted, and the anxious looking
tor tne iirst sprouts was begun al
most before the earth was firmed
down over the final row of onion
sets.
The neighbors from Unoer Mos-
quito came down for the ground
DreaKing, because the garden is
a two-family affair. All the po
tatoes win De on tneir plot.
The planter did a beautiful 1ob
of sticking the seeds under the
ground. It looks a little like a
cultivator, and the way it works
is something to behold. You put
tne seeos in a little noDDer thnt
looks like an oversize meat grind
er, and they are sifted out at the
right speed to space the plants
piupeny.
"The big wheel goes 'round by
the will of the lord," the familiar
spiritual insists, but in this par
ticular Case, the man-nower ho.
hind the handles makes the plant
er go in the right direction. "The
little wheel" goes 'round too, and
presses the earth firmly over the
newly-planted seeds. Just like
trimming and crlmnincr a nlo n
in une operation, mere's a tool
that does that, too.
The Young Man shunned all
the scientific rigamarole and took
his com and pea seeds to the far
end of the garden, where he dug
trenches and counted out nwia
to his heart's content. He patted
the ground back In nln po nil lilo
hands and knees. His four rows
were finished shortly after dark,
while the Older and Wiser Ones
were finishing up some two
score rows with the aid of flash
lights. -
I he berries are at tho tar nnrl
of the garden. Next is the pars
ley, which will come up from the
same roots year after year, and
then the parsnips, which won't
be dug until late fall, after thl
rest of the garden is plowed. Then
there are rows and rows of
greens, root vegetables, peas and
squash,
Nothing goes farther than car
rot seeds, and before we knew it,
there were seven rows. We saved
a couple of packages to plant
later, for those last-of-theseason
tender young baby carrots, that
can be cooked even with their
skins on, or just scraped a little
hit. "Tnirnti. :
