As you can readily see, the foot
ball season was very unsuccessful
financially.
WHY? You might ask yourself the
question, because you might have
been the cause of it. Did you sell
any tickets for the games? Did you
even tell people about the coming
games?
The basketball season has to take
the red ink off our ledger, so turn
out for the games and sell some
tickets.

Washington, D. C, Nov. 30. Great
Britain is showing its appreciation
for repeal of the embargo (making
U. S. an arsenal for 'the allies) by
cancelling concessions to the United
States under the trade treaty. It has
applied an import embargo on 19
items; controls on 27, and import li
censes on 42. Before the reciprocal
trade agreement the 88 items repre
sented $250,808,000 sold by the Uni
ted States to the British.
On the embargo list, affecting Or
egon and Washington, are fresh ap
ples representing $7,330,000; fresh
pears, $3,426,000; canned asparagus
and tomato juice, $404,000.
On the control list, with value of
exports before the treaty: Timber,
$16,651,000; wheat, $8,312,000; feed
stuffs, $483,000; dried fruits, (prunes)
$5,649,000; canned salmon. $6,352,000.
Items for which licenses must be
obtained: Honey, canned beans,
hides, skins.
The reciprocal trade agreement
cut down Pacific northwest exports
to the United Kingdom; now the
British cut out supplies from Oregon
and Washington almost entirely.
Unemployment benefits of Social
Security board amount to $9,508,333
in Oregon since Jan. 1, 1938, to the
first of the present month. Fnr
Washington the board reports nav-
ments of $5,106,980 since last Janu
ary to November 1. Washington was

plying with Social Security require
ments. Claims were paid in Oregon

Only 15.8 per cent of all land in
Washington s,tate is available for cul
tivation, and of the total state acre
age only 8.7 per cent is actually un
der plow. Number of acres used for
crops is 3,733,099 out of 42,775,040.
in Oregon only 8 per cent is avail
able for cultivation and only 5.1 per
cent is being used. Oregon's culti
vated acreage is 3,112,168 out of a
total of 61,188,480, according to the
bureau of census. Nevada ranks low
est of all, with but 0.4 per cent of
its entire area cultivated; Arizona
next with 0.7; Wyoming 2.8. Nor is
California so "hot." Of that adver
tised garden spot only 11.7 per cent
is available for cultivation and but
7.1 per cent of the state's acreage is
used for crops.
These statistics will form part of
an argument made next spring in
congress in justification for insisting
the federal government pay taxes on
its holdings in the 11 western states.
Figures are from the census bureau.

Punch and cookies will fill in at in
termission. A program will also be
furnished, but ' as vet no definite

time high in sportswear this week.

wonder why?
Two Oregon state-wide WPA pro
jects have been approved as eligible
for funds by the president. One pro
ject, estimated to cost $68,605, is to
receive, store and transport pack
ages and account for food and other
surplus commodities allocated to
state public relief by federal, state

and tenure, prepare maps, record
assessed valuation and distribution

ed with land use. Sponsor for this
project is Oregon State college.
Oregon's 150 acres cultivating
cranberries are the most productive
of any such acreage in the United
States, according to the bureau of
agricultural economics. Oregon's
acreage is relatively small but high
ly prolific, an acre averaging 40 bar
rels, just double the productivity
per acre of Washington's 11,000 acres.
New Jersey growers are fortunate to
pick three barrels to the acre.
Federal maritime commission is
so disgusted with its experience on
the west coast that it plans trying to
sell the government's ships which
have been leased to private operat
ors and furnishing service between
Puget Sound and the orient. Mem
bers of the commission explain that
they are constantly having disputes
with the union, and rather than con
tinue the arguments they prefer
withdrawing from active participa
tion in the operation of ship lines out
of Pacific coast ports.
