NEW LEAFLET EXPLAINS
ART OF HOOKING RUGS
Corvallis To answer inquiries
concerning that age-old craft of
rug making, a special leaflet called
"Hooked Rug Suggestions," has
been prepared jointly by Mrs. Aza
lea Sager, extension specialist in
clothing, textiles and related arts,
and Miss Mildred Chamberlain, as
sociate professor of clothing, tex
tiles and related arts at Oregon
State college. These specialists in
applied arts believe that hookfd
rugs furnish opportunity for creat
ive work in design and color, also,
that such rugs, if carefully made:
add to the atmosphere and charm
of many rooms. Incidentally, it is
pointed out, this home craft fur
nishes a means of utilizing old
clothing and scraps of material
which otherwise are useless.
The leaflet offers practical infor
mation on the shape, color and ma
terials to be used in hooked rugs,
and discusses the hook, foundation
material, and finishing operation. A
series of original designs by Miss
Chamberlain, with suggestions for
various arrangements of these ba
sio units and detailed instructions
for enlarging them, are included.
Copies of the leaflet may be ob
tained from the home economics
office of the extension service, Cor
vallis. Ask for HE 465, "Hooked

WHAT GOING OFF OF
THE GOLD STANDARD
MEANS TO FARMERS
Enlarged Markete, Higher Products
Prices, and Ability to Pay
Old Dollar Debts.
Ey Frank Parker Stockbridge
The United States of America has
"gone off the gold standard." That
sounds shocking to people who fear
all change, and it takes some men
tal adjusting on the part of the
rest of us who have not yet become
accustomed to the rapidity with
which everything is changing t v
day.
What does it mean, this going off
gold? What is the purpose? What
will the effect be? What has it to
do with this talk about inflation?
What is inflation, anyway? Wio
will it benefit and who will It hurt?
Those are the questions on the tip
of everybody's tongue.
In Sequence
The United States went off the
gold standard on March 4, when
President Roosevelt declared an em
bargo on shipments of gold abroad
and called all hoarded gold back
into the Federal Reserve Banks.
Since then we have shipped no gol i
abroad except on contracts alreaV
entered into. Since then nobod .
holding a gold certificate or other
puper money calling for payment in
gold has been able to get gold for
it. We still have the gold, nearly
half of all the gold there is in the
world, more than four thousand Tril
lion dollars of it in our Treasuiy
and banks, but we have stopped
using it.
The purpose of our action is, as
President Roosevelt stated to bring
about higher prices. The first place
it has affected prices is in our for
eign trade, for the principal use of
gold as money is in settling trade
balances between nations. It is the
one commodity which every nation,
in the world accepts as money.
Immediately we went off gold,
commodity prices In international
trade began to rise in terms of dol
lars. For as soon as any nation's
paper money ceases to be redeem
able in gold, people who have that
money begin to look for something
else wheat, tobacco, cotton, lard,
steel, or other non-perishable forms
of wealth in which to redeem it.
They begin to buy those things, and
their paper money buys less of them
than it did before. In other words,
they bid prices up.
Tn Farm Products
It may seem to some that we in
America are not concerned with
what happens in foreign trade. But
it is from our sales overseas that a
very large part of the money com;
which pays for our farm products.
More than half of all cotton grown
in America must be sold abroad If
the growers of the South are not to
suffer. In Texas alone, it has been
figured out, the loss of the entire
state from the low price of cotton
in tho export trade, has been ov-r
$400 for every family In the state!
Almost half of the money which
tobacco growers get for their crop
comes from foreign sales. We nor
mally sell abroad from a quarter to
a third of all the lard we produce,
about one-sixth of our wheat and
about the same share of our apple
crop, more than half of our tur
pentine, gasoline and benzol, ovfr
a third of our copper, and from a
quarter to one-half of our factory
products in many important lines
It seems highly important, then,
to get the highest possible prices
for these goods in the world mar
kets. But when foreign nations
have let their money depreciate
they cannot buy as much or pay as
good a price, so long as we main
tain our dollar on the gold basis.
On the other hand with their cheap
money, they can produce at less
cost than we can and sell their
goods to us for our gold dollars
cheaper than we can produce them
when all our costs are measured in
gold.
How Producer Is Helped
So in going off gold we have
cheapened our" dollar to meet the
other cheap moneys of the worlj,
and already commodity prices have
begun to rise. In other words, we
have started on a program of in
fiaion of the currency, which is
merely another way of saying in
creasing prices.
The gold embargo is a very mild
form of Inflation. It is certain to
be followed by other forms, direct
ly applicable to our internal inter
ests. It makes no difference, really,
what the value of the dollar is in
foreign money except when we deal
in foreign trade, because a dollar
at a low value will pay a debt in
curred In dollars when they were
at high value. So the farmer or
producer who gets more dollars for
nis commodity can pay his dollar
debts with them, even though tlvy
are cheaper dollars.
Inflation will help the debtor
class because it will take less cot
ton, wheat, shoes or what have y i
to get the necessary number of dol
lars with which to pay. It will
hurt the large creditor class be
cause, although they will get their
interest and principal repayments
in dollars, as before, those dollars
will not buy as much, will not rep
resent as much real wealth.
We have as beneficiaries of i v
flatlon the farmers who will got
more dollars for their crops, tho
wage-earners, who will benefit by
Increased employment, (although
wages do. not tend to riso as fast
as the cost of living) business mjn
whose goods on hand beccme worth
more dollars, and whose sales (n
dollars increase faster than costs.
Time for Change
We have been going through an
increasing process of deflation for
more than two years. It had reach
ed the point where debtors as a
whole found themselves totally un
able to pay. To have pressed de
flation further would have resul'od
'n universal bankrupcy, in which
the creditors would have fared a
badly as the debtors.
Just what form domestic Inflation
will take remains to be seen. The
President's request for power to
adopt any or none of various means
of inflation indicates that he will
be guided by conditions as they
arise. It Is probable that he will
Issue currency against Government
bonds, for one thing, that silver
will be restored to its former mon
etary position, thus Increasing tne
volume of metal behind our money,
and possibly he may decide, if it
seems to be warranted, to reduce
the amount of gold In the gold dol
lar by as much as one-half. That
would not be the first time we have
done Just that in our national his
tory, rather the fourth or fifth time.
We still have nearly half of all
the' world's gold behind our money,
whatever price we put on the dollar.

W. C. T. U. NOTES
MARY A. NOTSON. Reporter.
When the president of Dartmouth
College took the position that pro
hibition provided a subsidy for the
underworld, Dr. Gordon Ferry Hull,
Professor of Physics, wrote in re
ply to the statement of the presi
dent of the college:
"It is my opinion that you have
vastly over-emphasized the evil ef
fects of prohibition without pre
senting its virtues, that you have
failed to face the problem of alco
hol, that you have neglected to
point out that those who purchase
liquor, if your charge Is true, are
those who 'provide subsidy for the
underworld'."
Prohibition made It possible for
cetain types of men to exploit those
who sought to operate speakeasies
or to do a bootlegging business,
thus the present day liquor "rack
eteer" came into the limelight. But,
If any one is so gullible as to be
lieve that the racketeering game
was unknown in the days of the sa
loon, he has something to leain.
True, that term was not used. The
men who controlled the city govern
ments through the saloon influence
mulcted the saloonkeepers without
mercy. They were known as
"boodlers" in those days.
The Judicial Section of the Amer
ican Bar Association, which Is com
posed only of judges, some years
ago declared:
"When, for the gratification of
their appetites, or the promotion of
their interests, lawyers, bankers,
great merchants and manufactur
ers, and social leaders, both men
and women, disobey and scoff at
this law (prohibition), or any other
law, they are aiding the cause of
anarchy and promoting mob vio
lence, robbery and homicide; they
are sowing dragon's teeth, and they
need not be surprised when they
find that no judicial or police au
thority can save our country or
humanity from reaping the har
vest." There is a warning that patriotic
citizens should heed. Citizens who
violate the law, whatever it may bo,
and then insist that the law should
be repealed because it cannot be
enforced are not entitled to be
heard In the Court of Public Opin
ion. They are breeding anarchy.
Whenever we reach the conclusion
that any citizen has a right to de
cide what laws he will obey and
what laws he will ignore, we are
on the rocks as a nation.
Every citizen has a right to ad
vocate the repeal of any law, but he
should undertake to show that con
ditions will be improved without
any law on the subject, or he should
propose a better law. Not one
scheme has been proposed for the
handling of the liquor traffic which
has not been tried and found a fail
ure. Prohibition at its worst is bet
ter than any of the proposed plans
at their best, wet propaganda to the
contrary notwithstanding. s
Late Forage Crops Are
Listed by G. R. Hyslop
Soy bean's, corn, sunflowers, mil
let, Sudan grass and root crops are
the remaining forage crop possibil
ities for planting in the various
parts of Oregon where a shortage
of hay and feed for the coming year
is almost a certainty, says G. R.
Hyslop, In charge of the plant in
dustries division at Oregon State
college.
Judging from the personal calls
and letters to the experiment sta
tion seeking aid and advice as to
late forage crops, growers fully re
alize the necessity for emergency
planting this year to replace the
normal feed crops destroyed by the
cold weather of the past winter.
Soy beans are the only remain
ing legume crop possible in Oregon
for planting at this late date, but
they are usable over a considerable
portion of the state. Tests have
shown soy beans to be promising
on warm, well drained soils of the
Willamette valley, still more suited
to Jackson, Josephine and Doug
las counties, and a good crop on
some of the Irrigated soils of Mal
heur, Umatilla, Morrow and the Co
lumbia river counties, and the warm
side of Baker and Wallowa coun
ties. Innoculatlon is necessary to
successful production in Oregon
Mammoth Russian sunflower
raised for silage and used with corn
in the proportion of about two or
three parts of sunflowers to one of
corn, give an excellent silage mix
ture that ferments like corn and is
palatable to stock, says Hyslop.
The advantage of using sunflowers
i3 that normally they will produce
about twice the tonnage of corn,
and this year tonnage is highly im
portant They are not tender to
frost so can be planted earlier than
corn.
Sunflowers alone and sunflowers
with corn in the silo have been ex
perimented with both east and west
of the mountains, and if properly
used they are of real value in the
forage program, especially in an
emergency year like this one, Hys
lop believes. One prominent Polk
county farmer has been using the
corn-sunflower mixture for several
years for silage and finds it highly
satisfactory.
Further information about these
crops as well as roots, millet and
Sudan grass may be obtained from
any county agenc
