Long Hours and Hardships
Fail to Curtail Applica

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7 About
one of the toughest Jobs In the Unit
ized States government la that of pred-:-atory
animal hunter for the biologl
' Val survey.
' Yet it ts a popular Job In the
western states and there Is always a
plentiful supply of applications on
hand when a trapper or hunter Is
-,v:ieeded to rid some district of coyotes,
t. mountain lions or bears that are
.preying upon livestock.
"Long hours and much hardship
. must be endured by the hunters
"when they are at work," a biological
survey official said. "In most cases
l the ' hunter earns far more than he
receives for his work."
The average pay of a federal trapper
rTs about $90 a month. He is allowed
' another $10 for his horse and in
' some cases supplies.
Vj He gets straight pay and no bonus-i-"-es.
Any furs he might collect are sold
; and the proceeds turned over to the
'United States treasury.
Once in a while a hunter will have

Tests have been made at tho de
v.partment's experimental station at
'Fort Collins. Colo., and some ma
chines were put into use in Utah and
-.Idaho during the past season.
-'-Thus far, officials said, it was too
'early to make predictions on the ef
. tect of the machines upon the beet
industry. They said that they prob
ably would not come into general use
until there was a drastic shortage of
manpower, such as might occur dur-
"lhg a war.
Many patents have been granted on
. sugar beet harvesters, and as Ion ago
.. as 20 years, it was predicted that in
. a few years henoe a great deal of
' sugar beet acreage would be harvest
ed by machine. Yet, today, most of
the crop is still harvested by hand
labor.
Recent experiments, officials assert,
have demonstrated that beets may be
harvested satisfactorily with machines
If field conditions are favorable.

. developed topped the beets while still

ment, however, is a machine that
lifts the beets by their leaves with
rubber-faced conveyor chains after

them.

Farmers who seek some way to pro
tect their potatoes from freezing may
just as well give up or dig .hem
when the weather man warns of ap
proaching cold, which is usually too
late.
Agriculture department officials
studying the problem for a number
of years say they have found no ef
fective means of saving potatoes from
cold weather. It seems the potato
is Just a natural-born freezer. Its
high water content makes it perfect
for freezing.
Once a potato freezes it Is of little
value. If only frost bitten, the potato
may bring a small price, but its qual
ity is poor, and Its taste sweet be
cause the cold turns the starch into
sugar.
The agricultural department esti
mated today that sugar beet gnwers
of Idaho and Utah would receive ap
proximately $1.98 and $1.90 a ton,
respectvlely. on their 1938 crop, as
benefit payments for compliance with'
crop control programs during the sea
son. The estimate was based on the pay
ments made last year, official" said.
Distribution of the funds will begin
early next fall.
Payments are based on the sugar
content of a farmer's crop.

There has been much talk among
western congressmen of the ncd for
such an institution . on the west
coast and any concrete proposal, such
as the bill which Magnuson has said
he would introduce, should find them
solidly behind it.
The measure might also, find iavor

URGE 'FREEWAYS'
ITO REDUCE DEATH
New Style 'Artery Has No
Intersections Save Those
Provided by State's Road
Building Agency.
The new type of highway, known
as "freeway," already adopted in
more advanced state and in Eu
rope, should be made possible In
Oregon by legislation as the most
important means of meeting the con
stantly mounting death toll from
motor accidents, it is declared in a
report, "Freeways for Oregon, Just
issued by the Oregon State Planning
board. The report, which goes into
detail on the present condition of
highway traffic in Oregon, was pre
pared by the advisory committee on
roadside protection, of which John
B. Veon, Portland, is chairman.
Hazards Hold
New highways have been built and
old ones rebuilt in Ot-egon at great
public expense to provide safe trans
portation arteries to meet the con
stantly ohanging and increasing de
mands of traffic, yet the hazards of
travel remain, the report declares.
The "freeway," suggested for Ore
gon Is literally a free right of way.
Along a freeway there are no inter
sections with other roads, except
those provided by the public road
builder agency. Under the present
system the owneis of abutting prop
erty have right of access to or
egress from the thoroughfare. Along
a freeway access is considered only
at the provided Junctions. The desig
nation of freeways in, Oregon should
be limited to those routes Intended
for heavy arterial use, the report
makes clear.
No Progress
Until freeways are made possible
for Oregon by legislation, highway
authorities believe, the state will be
forced to continue to spend vast
sums on the construction of high
ways which are known to be obso
lete while they are still being
planned. The continued construction
of toads, proved hazardous by past
experiences, will Increase the already
appalling death list on the present
highways.

Famed "Plate ofBrasse "
Authentic Say Scientists
8AN FRANCINSCO, Dec. 7 P
California's historical detectives
emerged today with scientific proof
that the state's prize historical ex
hibit the "Plate of Brasse" left by
Sir Francis Drake in hie voyage of
1579 is authentic.
The issue, hotly debated since the
graven, battered plate was found in
Marin county. Just north of the
Golden Gate, was laid to rest today
by Allen L. Chlckerlng, president of
the California Historical society.
Checkering reported the findings of
a distinguished electrochemist and a
metallurgical engineer that in their
opinion the plate "is the genuine
Drake plate" referred to In a history
of the voyage published in 1628.
The researchers were Dr. Colin O.
Pink, head of the division of electro
chemistry, Columbia university, and
E. P. Polushkln, consulting engineer,
They hushed the suspicion that the
