Now look at it. The allotment has caused farmers to
leave parts of fields sown and parts of summerfallowed
fields unplowed. Things are all mixed up , Some farmers
have taken out land on the sides, some on the ends and
some have left a patch in the middle. The country doesn’t
look like an even checkerboard anymore; it more nearly re­
sembles a crazy quilt in pattern. .

Just what a farmer is going to do when he resumes his
normal way of farming is another question. * There is likely
to be a little summerfallow a little stubble and perhaps some
double summerfallow in the same field and if it all be put in
crop most anything might result. One almost certain result

The action of the liquor commission in revoking the
license of three beer dealers in Portland will meet with the
approval of a vast majority of the people of the state. It is
plain by this time that the real wish of the voters who dis­
carded the dry amendment was to allow liquor but to res­
trict its sale and use within the bounds of reason • That the
commission has power to revoke licenses without filing
specific causes therefor gives it more power in handling un­
desirable situations that occasionly develop. The recent
action will increase respect ¡for the liquor commission and
for law and order.

There is evidently a thought in governmental circles that
the export association that has been handling Pa< Hie noith
west wheat for the past eight or nine months will be discon­
tinued at the «nd of the year, It is not to early for the far-
rtiers to express themselves on this matter, one that means
more to the farmers of the northwest than does the domes­
tic allotment plan itself.

There is a hill in congress to prohibit loans to foreign
nations that owe us money. It does seem pebuliar that such
a law should be necessary.
