reaction to President Roosevelt's
proposal to tax corporate surpluses
by bidding industrial shares to new

CAMP, MEHAMA
County Commissioners Meteor, i
and Hewlett, J. E. Smith, WPA di-
rector. County Engineer Hubbs and
Director Reynolds from the state
relief service in Portland made an
inspection of the transient camp
above Mehama yesterday afternoon
as a preliminary to turning the
government property over to the
county and also as a check to the
county. There ts some controversy
as to which branch of the govern
ment owns certain personal prop
erty at the place but this was ex
pected to be ironed out today be
tween the departments.
Six men only have been left at
the camp the balance which one
time numbered as high as 200 beins
tiansferred. It was reported most of
the clearing work on the North
Santiam highway near right-of-way I
between Mehama and Mill City has;
been completed. No work has been
done through Mehama as no survey
nas as yet been made through or i
around that town.
The officials found the camp in
beautiful condition and Commis
sioner Melson estimates that with
equipment, ground and facilities the
camp has a full valuation of $20,000.
A tentative plan has been dis
cussed for the county to take over
this project when surrendered b'
the government and convert it into
a recreational center.

GOOD
GARDENING
15. TOMATOES
There's hardly a backyard garden
from the Great Lakes to the Rio
Grande that would be complete
without tomatoes once called "love
apples" and supposed to be very bad
lor folks until that melancholy
myth was exploded. In order to
have tomatoes. It's necessary either
to sow the seeds In the house or in
hotbed, or buy plants from some
commercial grower. Seeds come up
in eight or ten days and seedlings
usually are ready for transplanting
in two weeks. Once transplanted,
the stems should be tied to stakes
to keep them alive and upright and
the fruit off the ground. A stake an
inch and a half in diameter and
four to five feet long will answer.
Planting season varies from early
March in the far south to early
June In the far north.

The Italian army today crushed
30,000 Ethiopians under the com
mand of Ras Imeru, governor of
Gtjjam province, concluding a bat

The Italian victory smashed the
last complete Ethiopian army on the
northern front.
The victory was as complete a
those over the armies of Ras Mulu
gheta, Ras Kassa and Ras Seyoum.
Ras Imeru's arm'y was defeated
on the western front along the
Takkaze river, where the Ethiopians
sought to bar the fascist legions from
moving in the direction of Lake
Tana, headwater of the Nile.
The Fascist mopping up- in east

Pour thousand Ethiopians, sur

Advancing rapidly, the Italians
occupied Mounts Odron, Enda Mar-

WISE USE OF
LAND REQUIRED
Washington, March 3 (Pi Farm
ers were told by Secretary Wallace
today they must show actual evi
dence of wise land use to obtair
government subsidies under the
$500,000,000 program enacted to re
place the outlawed AAA.
Preparing to go to Memphis and
Chicago later this week to speed
the new law Into action, the agri
culture secretary gave a broad out
line or plans in a radio address.
He said control of production of
individual farm commodities "is
simply not possible" under the new
program. Its goal of parity for farm
income Is broader and more flexi
ble than the old AAA goal of parity
prices, he added j
"Payments will be made for the
growing of erosion-preventing and
soil-building crops, of which there
is no surplus, rather than soil-depleting
cash crops of which there is
a surplus. Without some compensa
tion many farmers could not afford
to sacrifice any of their acreage of
cash crops.
Wallace said consumers would be
assured an adequate supply of farm
products.
(The act provides federal subsi
dies for farmers who "conserve soil'
by taking land out of cash crops.
After two years these payments will
be made only to farmers where
state governments are cooperating.)
OFF-GRADE
PRICES OFFERED
Prom a recent meeting of the ex
ecutive committee of the Pacific
Prune Products association at San
Francisco, announcement has been
made of the schedule of prices at
which this government subsidized
agency offers to buy 1935 crop off
grade prunes.
The price schedule of the offer
ing is as follows: 40 -larger, $40 per
ton; 41-6), $30 per ton; 62-81, $25
per ton; 82-101, $22.50 per ton; 102-
smaller, $17.50 per ton.
These prices are subject to the
deduction of $1.75 per ton, which
the government requires that the
seller shall pay on account of the
administration costs of this buying
agency.
As explained in the announce
ment, "These prices will be paid
for ungraded stocks on a door test
basis. The object of this offering
is to divert inferior fruit from the
effect of competing with good
fruit in the ordinary channels of
trade. The Pacific Prune Products
association is under contract with
the department of agriculture to
resell sub-standard fruit into by
product channels only. As losses
are incurred on account of such
sales, the Pacific Prune Products
association will be reimbursed from
the appropriation provided imder
Section 32 of the amendment to the
agricultural adjustment act passed
in the last congress. The procedure
established under this section of
the act was not affected or disturb
ed by the recent decision of the su
preme court affecting production
control.'
H. H. Hyde, manager of this
newly established organization
states, explaining the offering, "The
real object of the prune diversion
plan is to buy in any off-grade
prunes which might be used in the
preparation of competitive packs.
The competitive packing and sale of
off-grade fruit at a discount is one
of the most disturbing influences
in the prune trade. As the Prune
Products association may be of
fered fruit ranging from slabs to
culls the price range of the offer
ing is from $15 to $5 per ton."
