WASHINGTON PHONE INCREASE IS DENIED Olympta, Wash. Telephone rites In the state of Washington wll: not be raised, but will be maintained at the present schedule by a decision and order of the department of public works, signed by the director, Judge Kuykendall, and Supervisor Spinning of the department. Supervisor Cleland filed a minority decision which would have ordered a raise In the rates. The department decision finds that the existing rates are fair, just and sufficient, and the company's proposed rates unjust, unfair and unreasonable and more than sufficient. The evi dence does not justify any reduction in rates at the present time, the board holds. Supervisor Cleland would have in creased rates. The company asked for an average increase of 32.73 per cent. Cleland's order granted an in crease of 16.09 per cent on exchange service.

IIADIO IN LII'K OF RURAL COMMUNITIES In Morrow county, according to Jacob Jordan, instructor in physic at 0. A. C, radio will have a defi nite place. Conditions arising from the big storm recently when some of th sections of the state were completely isolated lor three or four weeks, ac cording to Mr. Jordan, brings ti mind that Alsea had had a radii station, news reports of the world': activities, helpful lectures and en teitainments could have been en joyed when all other means of com nuinication failed. Farmers, said Mr. Jordan, com prise the majority of residents liv lng in isolated communities. Radio will be an invaluable asset to farm ers because of the vast amount ol educational matter broadcasted bj the larger and more important broad tasting stations. This is materia' that the farmer would not have op pnrtunity to obtain if it were no' ior the radio. There is a radio station at O. A C. which is the property of the col lege. It is available for every depart ment to use for lectures, speeches and any matter that will be of in terest to the public, said Mr. Jordan Those in charge of the radio ta ttoo state that they will appreciate any suggestions from those who de sire certain programs and lecture? that will be helpful to the farmer of their locality.

Early gardens are subject to se vere injury by slimy, slow moving repulsive slugh. The plants may be protected with a repelant spray of bordeaux mixture. For the home gar den probably the commercial bor deaux mixture diluted as recom mended on the container will give '-;ood results. In addition prepare, a loison bait of calcium-aisenate used at the rate of one ounce to one .lound of chopped lettuce leaves. Mix he.se. thoroughly and place in small iioaps near the plants and frames to- be protected. Kale, clover, or Hher succulent leaves may be sub stituted for the lettuce. Disease organisms are apt to be found on ground where old poultry ttock has been recently run. It is lesirable to rear chicks on ground whicli has not held stock for some Ime. Chicks of different ages seldom or lev t grow to advantage for either ;roup if run together. Fruit worms and bud moths are ecoming active on the opening luster budsof apples and pears. .Vhere they appear in sufficient nuni era to attract attention, add lead Datt the regular delayed dor mant or to the pink spray at the ate of two pounds to 100 gallons of he solution. GIG DAM IS NF.AKLY COMPLETED Highway and Civil Service Roy Klein, secretary of the highway commission has been temporarily ap pointed chief engineer of the depart mant by the commission. This actlor, was taken following the ac-ceptanct of the resignation of Herbert Nunn who has had charge of the engineer lng since the commission was creat ed in 1917. Civil service examinations have been requested by the postoffice department to Belect postmasters for the follow lng cities and towns: Ashland. Athena, Aurora, Banks, Beaverton, Brownsville. Canyon City, Fossil, Gervais, Hillsboro, John Day, Lakeview, Madras. Mount Angel, Newport, North Bend, Toledo. Warrenton and Yanihill. The tallest dam In the world has just been built near Modesto, Cal., by ihe farmers of two California dis tricts. Where walk the ghosts of the old gold-diggers of Bret Harte tales a row of 500 engineers and laborers under the direction of D. II . Duncan on are now completing this monu neiu lo "white gold." How did the farmers do it? The landowners or Turlo ctt and lohesto counties got together and oled. They bonded themselves for 5,000,o0ii, And a year ago they tarted pouring concrete. The result is a dam 3 feet high, ,080 feet across and io feet tbrodgh it the base. In this feat farmers the nation ver have a lesson' in how they may ooperatively bund together to frod h nisei ves from the private water upply magnates. "Public ownership of water? We'll i say so," say the California farmers I v. ho doubtless Will be known as I America's greatest pioneers of self ' owned energy. The Don Pedro project, as this I undertaking is called, means the im i pounding of 30,000 acre feet of I water to feed the alfalfa fields and 1 melon patches when the dry days of late sumer come, i And it also will mean 50,000 acres of reclaimed land in t lie prosperous Turlock district. And farmers will gain from it not only water for their lands but al:o their own elect tic energyJpoled down . to their power houses, lighting their homes and dairies, turning their chums and putting back into their pock s ihe money expended on the dam. Lovhi through a power house de keloping lti.000 horsepower of elec tricity the chained waters will flow. i anil then will go on to turn valley sai d into the richest dairy and melon land of i he country. For several weeks the big power hou e at the foot of the dam, de veloping 16,000 horsepower of elec ri . has been completed and ''juice" is being delivered to the dis tricts in competition with the power companies. Enthusiasts see at no distant date the delivery of cheap power thai will aid the farmer in solving the drain uage problem and be an Ih 6ei live to manufacturers to locate there. Don Pedro dam is the greatest impounding bulwark ever built; It is greater than the famous ollosevelf dam, although it has never received an ioia of the advertising given thai big structure. Practically unknown, still it stands ready to insure its district against loss of crops. . Oil Stock Promoters Are Arrested. Fort Worth. Tex. With the surren dor of Dr. Frederick A.

The Umatilla experiment station at Hermiston during the winter fed lambs 10 detenu1' primarily the feasibility of marketing alfalfa hay y "sing it to fatten lambs and sec indiiriiy to determine the relative value of the various grains as sup plements to alfalfa for fattening. Two hundred fourteen head, of Hampshire; ahd Cotswold lambs used for Ihe experiments werte divided into four lots of 50 head each and 14 head of culls were placed in a lot. by themselves, ("rain was fed at the rate of one pound a day p.r head when on full feed. One lot each received corn, wheat, oats and bar ley and the cull lot received barlev. Ml ota received all the hay they 'ould cat. The lambs were start' d on Feed Dec. 1, and fed until March 10, I period of 09 days. Half the grain was fed in the morning and half jn the evening and 'iay was kept before them at all times. The tests were conducted in pen lots without shelter. The hay .vac- fed through panels and the grain in troughs, the tamos nan continu iii . access to fresh water and salt. The average weight p.r lamb' a' 'he beginning of the test was 61.2 potnds except tho culls which weighed 40.7. The average gain p r head was 33.9 pounds which was at the rate of .343 pounds per head per day. The corn fed lambs gained the most by 2.3 pounds per head above the average and the oats least by one pound less than the averare. The galnfl of thhe wheat and barley fed j "ami's were practically eaual to the) iverage with the wheat slightly high- j sr than the barley. The average amount of hay of-! fered was 3.1 pounds per day p ir head. Th? corn lot ale the largast 1 nount with whe.at, barley and oats following in the order mentioned.

The cheapest gains. 19.43 per hundred, were made by the oni lambs and the next higher. 59.45. by the barle ylot. The wheat lot gains costs $10.2li and the oats fnins $0 73. The cull lambs g:Un d lee . required more hay and grain per hundred pounds of gain so the alt cost more tthan the other lambs.
