Washington, D. C, Oct. 3. Threat
of possible war now confronts the
United States on the Pacific coast.
Developments in the Far East are
not conducive to peace and the acts
of President Roosevelt are increasing
the irritation of the Japanese. Next
week will be the last in which scrap
iron can be shipped to Japan, there-
by shutting off a supply vital to its
war machine. In retaliation the Jap
anese may take steps to shut off
United States sources of supply of
tin, rubber and quinine, which they
can do by moving in on the Dutch
East Indies.
French Indo-China is receiving
the support of the administration,
although there are practically no
American investments in that French
colony. The administration has ar
ranged to enable the French gov
ernment in that far-off land to
acquire airplanes, bombers, guns and
other munitions to resist the Japan
ese, while the administration has
stopped Japanese from purchasing
airplanes or other munitions.
French Indo-China is controlled
by the French government which is
in turn under the control of Hitler.
With the United States aiding the
British against Hitler in the Atlan
tic and helping Hitler in the Pacific
against Japan, the foreign policy
appears to be a mess. Mr. Roosevelt,
however, has been given assurances
by agents of the French Indo-China
government that the local govern'
ment will not take orders from the
Hitler dominated French govern
ment, and on these assurances help
was arranged. .
The British have a stake in French
Indo-China, but not the United
States. The administration's action
is designed to sustain K the British,
Japan needs the United States
more than the United States needs
Japan in trade relations. This coun
try is the market for Japanese silk,
its principal export. Japan needs
high octane gasoline, scrap iron and
cotton, all of which have been fur
nished by the United States. Japan
is the leading foreign market for
American cotton, but the Japanese
manufacture the raw cotton into
goods and ship them back to the
United States, making competition
for the textile mills of New England
and the South, In the same way
Japan has been importing peeler
logs from the Pacific northwest,
then sending them back as plywood
products to compete with plywood
factories in Oregon and Washington.
It is within the range of possibility
that President Roosevelt will order
national guard units of the Pacific
northwest to duty in the Philippines
and Guam as tension in the Far
East increases. Under the law au
thorizing the president to mobilize
the national guard it is specifically
provided that he can send guards
men to these islands.
While nothing official has been
announced, there is a prospect cf
Oregon and Washington each having
an additional representative in con
gress, according to census returns.
These states made substantial gains
in population since 1930, far greater
than the average for the country as
a whole. Legislatures designate a
congressional district, but as the
Oregon and Washington legislatures
will not be in session when house
reapportionment is announced for
congress next spring, pending cre
ation of a district the new represen
tative may be elected at large.
Opportunity to create a national
park on the coast of Curry county,
Oregon, which has the approval of
the national park commission, de
partment of the interior, and Presi
dent Rooseelt, is running into op
position. The park would be in the
same recreational class as Yellow-

War on Crickets
Getting Results
in Eastern Oregon
Generally lighter infestations and
better methods of control marked
the campaign against Mormon crick
ets and grasshoppers in eastern Ore
gon this last season, reports Lloyd
D. Cowden, area supervisor of the
control program for, the bureau of
entomology and plant quarantine.
Cowden conferred recently with
Dr. Don C. Mote, entomologist at
Oregon State college and state lead
er of the project, on plans for set
ting up a similar cooperative pro
gram next year such as has been
carried on the past two seasons
under a three-way arrangement by
the state department of agriculture,
the state college, and the federal bu
reau.
Use of poison bait on a large scale
for the first time this summer proved
to be a big help in control, Cowden
reported. He found that both the
poison dusting and bait are necea
sary for effective control as the dust
gets best results early in the season
when weather is cold, while the bait
is most effective later. It is possible
to cover much more area in a given
time with the bait than with the
dusting method and it was found to
give up to 95 percent kill.
Only the Indian reservation region
of southern Wasco county showed
materially heavier infestations than
last year, Cowden reported. The out
breaks in Umatilla county were so
much less that a continued control
program may not be necessary.
Baker, Wallowa, Gilliam, Sherman
and Jefferson counties also showed
lighter outbreaks this year than last
year. In the Indian lands of south
ern Wasco county 75 tons of poison
bait were spread this year oer 13,
000 acres.
Past experience has been that
three consecutive years of control
work are necessary to show marked
reduction in numbers. On this basis,
those in charge of the state project
feel encouraged over the success at'
tained in Oregon with two years of
organized cooperative control work,
said Dr. Mote.
Teachers to 'Meet at
LaGrande, Oct. 14-15
The eastern Oregon conference of
the Oregon State Teachers' associa
tion will meet October 14 and 15 in
the gymnasium of the Eastern Ore
gon College of Education, La
Grande. The conference is for tea
chers and school officials of Baker,
Grant, Malheur, Morrow, Umatilla,
Union and Wallowa counties. About
1000 are expected to attend.
Lester D. Harris, principal of Ba
ker high school, is president of the
conference and with other officers
stone, Glacier, Crater Lake and
other national parks anil be a
novelty because it would be on a
seashore. The idea captured the
imagination of Mr. Roosevelt.
Sheepmen of Curry county, who
use part of the proposed area as a
range (they sold their wool for 43Ms
cents a pound) and settlers in the
Pistol river district are registering
protests and the county court thinks
the taxes from the sheepmen will
be of greater benefit to the county
than the money left by tourists,
Governor Charles A Sprague and
the Oregon highway commission
have been urged to oppose the pro
posed park at least a park of 50,
000 acres. The county court thinks
6,000 is sufficient. The bill is in
committee and will not be reported
until all parties interested have had
a hearing. When the bill was intro
duced by Senator McNary by re
quest it was supposed all citizens of
Curry county favored the proposi
tion. As was to be expected, a howl is
still going up over Elliott Roosevelt,
who cannot fly, being commissioned
as captain in the army air corps.
Young Roosevelt's principal experi
ence with flying was as aviation
reporter for a newspaper before he
took up radio work. Jimmie Roose
velt has resigned as lieutenant col
onepf marines and is now a captain
in the marines reserve. As lieutenant
colonel Jimmie borrowed instead of
buying a full dress uniform.

Oreaon Favored
-
by Having Much
Lawn Grass Seed
Oregon, is undoubtedly the most
favored spot in the United States
from the standpoint of a wide selec
tion of suitable lawn grasses, Harry
A. Schoth, federal agronomist at O.
S.C., told the Corvallis Men's Garden
club recently.
Not only are many kinds of grass
adapted for this state, but an un
usually wide variety of excellent
seed is available, as Oregon is now
the principal state for the production
of all lawn grass seed with the pos
sible exception of Kentucky blue-
grass and red top, said Schoth,
Not so many years ago the chief
lawn plants used here and elsewhere
were Kentucky bluegrass, red top
and white clover, Schoth recalled
These are still good under many
conditions, but they have been hu
gely superseded in many regions by
the bent grasses, the fescues and
some others for specialized condi
tions.
Bent grass came into use first
about 1923 when seed of the Sea
side bent became available. Later
Astoria and highland bent seed sup
plies were developed. Schoth be
lieves that the two later strains, par
ticularly the highland bent, are more
satisfactory for most lawns than the
earlier Seaside which is shallow
rooted and spreads by long stems
above ground. Highland bent is the
deepest rooted of all.
The two fescues most in demand
for lawn grasses are chewing fescue
and creeping red fescue. The latter
is so new that only limited seed
supplies are available. Chewing fes
cue is a fine leaved dark green, deep
rooted grass and is able to take hard
punishment. It is a bunch type
grass, however, so will not easily
fill in thin or bare spots.
Creeping red fescue looks like
chewings but spreads underground.
It also is deep rooted.. As some of
this seed is now being produced in
Oregon there is hope that it may
soon become plentiful enough so
that mixtures of these two fes
cues may be extensively tried for
lawn purposes, says Schoth,
and committees has worked out an
excellent program.
Headline speakers are to be Dr.
Ernest O. Melby dean, school of
education, Northwestern university,
and Miss Helen Henerman, chief,
division of elementary education,
California state department of edu
cation. A new section for school board
members and clerks is to be intro
duced this year under the leadership
of Dr. Roben J. Maaske, president
of Eastern Oregon College of Edu
cation. SUMMONS
