dius. During the past three years
things have been done there that the
average farmer with his nose to the
grindstone little surmises, and it is
for his good. The day may help
him to use some brains along with
his brawn that stubbornly labors to
take a living from the soilwithout
giving anything back, or applying
horse sense to adaptability and ro
tation of crops. The farm is on a
spot of the average sandy soil found
in the Columbia valley between The
Dalles and Lewiston, and reaching
up the various tributary valleys, and
it is here to serve this large terri
tory. Local people at least should
know what it is all about, and on
August 31 they will be given a
whole day to find out.

Do You Want Electric Power ?
A Continued Question?
The Butter Creek and Diagonal
highway carry a great deal of traffic
from tributary territory for a radius
of 35 miles which makes it one of
the leading secondary highways in
this section of the county, aud yet it
has never been oiled. Why?
The road is nearly impassible due
to the wash-boardy condition which
continues to get more deplorable
each day as the dry season advan-
ces. Cars which must travel over
this highway are being wrecked as
each mile Is covered, and alas these
cars are owned by taxpayers in the
county who pay tor maintenance of
these roads. We have asked re
peatedly to have this road oiled as
a main tributary highway but have
repeatedly been refused without ap
parent justification for leaving this
highway in such an impassible con
dition. As we said before, we have
been patient and courteous in our
request—to say nothing of our con-
slstency — and now we demand to
know why!
A farmer from the Butter Creek
district drove over the road last
week with a load of hay on a wagon
and nearly lost the load before he
reached town due to the ruts over
which the wagon must Jitter on Its
way to town. The wheels nearly rat
tled off and the bouncing the driver
endured was terrific. Why? Anoth
er farmer declared that by traveling
over the road the spokes wore
through an iron wheel. Why?
Our local officials have contacted
county and state highway officials
repeatedly asking that the Butter
Creek and Diagonal roads be oiled
in order to cut down maintenance
expense and to prevent such a con
dition as now exists, but each time
they have been given an indefinite
statement of a promise for work on
the road later. Why
We are going to find out why!.
If you want electric light and
power on your farm, speak up. The
rural electrification administration
is going to spend 150,000,000, and
those who come first and strongest
will be cared for. This is a good
field for this operation, and the
costs will be made within the possi
bility of the average farm to pay.
both for installation and daily uses.
The Farm Bureau, Grange, Commer
cial Clubs and other organized bod-
ies should see what can be done
about it now.
Why Not Here?
Chehalis had a 7000 egg omelet
in a celebration of the growth of the
poultry industry round-about the
town. Ten years ago Chehalis had
no more white leghorns than we had.
That locality is no better than this
for the layers of high grade eggs.
In several ways we have distinct ad-
vantages. The opportunity is still
here, if we do not scramble it.
