Forced Landings
WHAT forced the Landings of many wild ducks in and
near Klamath Falls the past two days? The in
cident attracted widespread outside interest, and it offers
wildlife fans a subject for cogitation and controversy.
An acquaintance of ours, who knows a great deal
about birds and their habits, believes that many of the
ducks struck obstacles when flying low and blind in the
fog. He states he picked up dead birds under wires in
the lower Main street district. Others may have struck
buildings. It is common knowledge that ducks do fly
into wires, particularly when the wires cross streams.
No doubt many of the ducks that came down Wednesday
and Thursday nights had such an experience.
But the evidence indicates that others came down
. without first striking obstacles. Sergeant O. A. Mackin
non of the state police says that he saw birds flutter to
the earth in places where there were no wires or build
ings. He said they seemed to be hampered in flight by
snow and frozen fog on their wings and bodies, and
came down because they could go no further. The fact
that many birds, rescued after falling, have revived in
the Link river pond and apparently are uninjured, would
Indicate they probably did not strike any object
No subject stirs up more interesting debate than
wildlife. It's good for an argument at any time. Like
wise, it is worthy of attention that Klamath people are
quickly sympathetic with wild things in plight. One
man rescue squads went to work as soon as the ducks
started coming down, and scores of the birds were
saved through these efforts.
Local Bids Accepted ,
FEW will criticize the city council for its decision to
award the Esplanade bridge contract to a local firm
whose bid was only $8.50 higher than the lowest offer,
submitted by a contractor located not only outside of
Klamath Falls, but outside the state of Oregon..
Had there been a difference of any considerable sum,
even as low as $100 or $200, the council might not have
been justified in accepting the higher bid.
But in this case the difference was negligible. The
council decided to award the contract to a contractor
.who pays taxes in Klamath Falls, who maintains head
quarters here and who has his interests here. All other
things being equal, it's good business to spend Klamath
money in Klamath.
It is gratifying that the low bids on the other two
bridges were also submitted by a local contractor.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 17 That
business message which is
always coming from Mr. Roose
velt "In the next few days," may
not come In the next few weeks
and possibly not In the next few
years.
Inside trouble Is the same as
outside difficulty of reconciling
the speeches of president advisers
Jackson-lckes with tho speeches of
president adviser Donald Rich
berg. The Jackson-Ickes school of
thought wants trust-busting, anti
monopoly, price-squeezing. The
Rtchberg school In which the
White House has at least enrolled
an attentive ear, wants industry
to foregather under the wing of
the commerce department to plan
production, which presumably also
means price-planning, although
Mr. Rlchberg does not mention
that.
As a result the "forthcoming"
message of the president was In a
mass of conflicting notes in his
desk the last time a responsible
authority saw it. Mr. R. has ex
plained privately he just has not
been able to get around to it. What
he probably means is be has not
been able to get around It.
e e e
PROPHETS SPEAK
Most revealing sign behind the
new farm law is that the two
smartest farm political statesmen
in congress voted against It re
publican prairie spokesman Bill
Borah and th-o old republican farm
legislative leader Charles McN'ary.
These two have a cloakroom
reputation as the best political
farm seers, being not-too-republican
and occasionally slightly new
dealish.
They figured the new law will
prove to be unpopular among
average farmers. Their deduction
was based on the fact that the law
contains a lot of regulation but
does not give the farmers Imme
diately any more money than they
are getting now.
e e e
SPLIT
Another good Inside slant on
the farm prospects is the split in
the Kansas delegation In the
house. Four eastern Kansans
voted against the bill, three west
ern Kansans for It. The explan
ation offered for such a split in
the heart of the farm belt over
a farm bill Is that the easterners
represent general farming, while
the western Kansans are all-wheat.
Fair farm judges make the
same distinction in guessing how
the new law will be received.
Farmers handling large cash crops
may be satisfied with the prospect
of putting a bottom on prices
through the government loan pro
visions In the legislation. Their
experts figure wheat will never go
below 60 cents, corn below 45
cents and cotton below 81 cents,
as long as the legislation is In
effect.
This Is most cheering to the
cotton belt, loaded now with a
normal year's consumption (12,
000.000 bales).
But the representatives of the
average diversified farmer fear
the effect of heavy regulations
and restrictions.
CIRCULARS
An ardent campaign for the
president's government reorgan
ization bill (revised) Is being con
ducted within the senate by Sen
ator Byrnes of South Carolina.
He Is sending circulars around to
members of his committee trying
to sell them pn the measure, which
is someming new in insuie pro
motion in congress.
His energetic activity seems,

however, to be an indirect testi
monial to the extent of latent op
position facing the measure. By
the time the senate gets through
revising the bill further (It It ever
gets through) the president may
not want it.
e e e
ECOXOMY MOVE
That minor gold sterilization
rabbit from Mr. Morgenthau's hat
was a stuffed sawdust hare of the
Easter variety.
Fact is they concocted It not so
much for "psychological pur
poses" announced In the official
handouts, but for sensible economy
reasons within the treasury. Un
der the gold sterilization arrange
ment the treasury Is paying In
terest merely for the privilege of
withholding gold from the credit
structure. There was some sense
In the Idea when the government
feared a credit inflation might
start runaway prices, but none In
times of depression.
Thus, at most, it was a book
keeping bunny.

Invited to the right places.
It seems to be more than a so
cial Item Murphy wag high on the
guest list at the dinner given to
President Roosevelt by Vice Presi
dent Garner. Social explanation
Is that Murphy entertained Gar
ner in the Philippines a couple of
years ago and this was the first
opportunity the vice president bad
to repay the debt.
Politlcos. however, suspect It
may indicate more than the mere
fact that Mr. Garner has a long
memory.

I quite agree with you and if

your pains and hurts hurt and

KLAMATH FALLS. Oro., (To
(ho Editor) Since the precipita
tion Is above normal, tho ques
tion may be naked: "Why Is It
thai we, with all this extra
moisture, cunnot raise ns lurge
crops as used to bo raised SI)
years agoT"
I believe I understand why and
hero is my explanation: When
wo dug down Into tho earth 30
years ago we found continuous
moisture from the surface on
down but now we do not. Then
crops could draw upon the re
serve moisture that had been left
In the oarth from provlous rains,
but during the long drouth which
dried up tho iilounlnln springs and
many lakes, that reserve mois
ture was exhausted and since
then, though our precipitation
may bo ubovo normal, It only wots
tho surfaco for a foot or so In
depth and when the heat of sum
mer conies, that surface mois
ture Is quickly exhausted, leav
ing the ground perfectly dry
down for olght feet or more.
That reserve must build up
In some way before dry land
farming ran be aa successful
as It used to lie.
1 believe tills explanation will
also apply as a reason for the
destruction of much of the tlm
bor that has died recently.
If we get sufficient moisture to
build up that reserve In the earth
UKalii. 1 see no reason why dry
land farming may not bo as great
a success as It used to he.

KJIANY people have the Idea
that an undarnourlshod child
Is pale, thin, weak or scrawny.
Actually a child may be under
nourished and appear fnt. A diet
that Is very high In sugars may
make an undernourished child
tut. Tho ovnluallon of the child's
nourishment Is nut an evaluation
of Its bulk.
Indeed there Is reaaon to be
lieve that the undernourished
child who Is not thin Is not as
good health risk as a thinner
child who la perhaps moro scien
tifically nourished. It, thereforo,
soems that In the future, with the
greater knowledge of nutrition
that we now have, we will prob
ably have to put much less em
phasis on tables of relationship of
weight to height and age than we
now do.
The color of the cheeks of the
child by which moat people guess
ut Its health, Is not a sure sign of
a good quality of blond. Homo
people have more blood vessels In
the skin than others; some pro pi it
have akin thinner than that of
others, and some people have
much more fat near the surface
than others. These factors are
