sorghum Culture In Yakima

Sorghum is usually planted in hills or
drills, three feet apart, leaving the stalks
at the last thinning about four to six
inches apart in the row. Where the crop
is to be used for sugar or syrup the stalks
should be about 6 inches apart in the
drill or five stalks in the hill. Six or
seven stalks can be left when it is design
ed for forage. About two quarts of seed
of the ordinary varieties are required
when planted in hills aud somewhat
more when sown in drills. The earlier
varieties are most sure OF giving profit
able crop. The growth is very slow at
first, and needs more attention than corn
until foot high, then less. The cane
when mature will stand for long time
without much deterioration in quality,
even after severe frost, providing warm
weather does not follow the frost or there
are not alternating periods OF heat and
cold. Sorghum has been successfully
raised in the Natcheez valley for num-
Der OF years, although not on large scale,
and last year it proved profitable ex-
pertinent in the Sunnyside country. This
season between so and 100 acres will be
planted to sorghum in the latter section
where they have mill with capacity of
70 gallons of syrup per day.

I'm the Hop Fields.

A careful census OF the hop acreage OF
Yakima county places it at 1925 acres.
There will probably be no increase Of the
acreage this year and there may be two
or three yards plowed up by those who
are discouraged by the low prices which
prevailed last year and forbidding indica-
tons ahead. Most of the growers, how
ever, are keeping stiff upper lip and the
report that two and possibly three yards
will be turned under may have no foun-
dation in fact. 1t is highly probable
though that unless prices take more
favorable turn not over 2500 acres will be
picked, or even cultivated, as the growers
will be unable to obtain money for these
purposes on q shaky market. The acre
age here is larger by few hundred than
it should be. When the country is in its
normal condition it will be impossible to
obtain pickers to supply more than $500
acres, judging from the results of the eff
forts in the past, and as consequence
those who fail to join the association will
either be left or forced to bid above the
ruling price for pickers.
In talking with HERALD reporter Mr..
A. B. Weed said he expected to see prices
ruling higher this year, but that in his
opinion from u to IL cents would cover
the top figures. 1t is seldom that all hop
producing sections secure full crop, as
was the case last year, and when this is
the result, prices are bound to rule low.
The next six weeks may make an i'm
portant change in the prospects and un-
favorable news from New York state and
England will be calculated to stiffen the
markets very materially. Choice hops
have all been consumed, or at least are in
the hands of consumers, but there are
enough Of the lower grad es left to handi-

Selecting Eggs for Matching.

In the large end of the egg, there is
what is called the air cavity, or air cham
Der. 1t is a small space inside the shell,
and outside of the inner lining, or menu
brane of the shell. In fresh laid egg it
is about as big around as dime, and an
eighth or quarter OF an inch deep. But,
in old eggs that have been on hand q
good while 1t is larger and in eggs that
have been frosted it is also much larger.
By holding the egg up between the thumb
and forefnger, with the larger end turned
in towards the hand, and holding it be-
tween.the eye and bright light, the air
cavity can be easily seen through 1.-The
shell. When the cavity is small, and the
egg inside the shell keeps firmly in place
as it is turned over, the egg is fresh. But,
II the air cavity is enlarged, and there is
a loose watery substance that seems to
run about in the shell when the egg is
turned, it is an old egg, or else it has been
frosted, and in either case it will not
hatch.
II the air cavity is absent entirely and
the inside OF the egg turns about loosely,
then the inside lining OF the shell, togeth-
er with the yolk, 10 broken, and it is
either a spoiled egg, or very soon will be.
After an egg has been subjected to
few days of incubation-about five days
the formation of chicken may be seen
under similar test. At first only small
red veins, until dark central point will
be seen, but after the eighth or tenth day
the veins enlarge and increase and the
dark spot also appears much larger, so as
to give about one-fourth OF the egg inside
dark appearance with red outlines. The
movement of the chicken which is in pro-
cess of formation may then be detected.
The dark spot at first seen is the head
and eyes OF the chick, and from that there
grows, or gradually develops, the balance
of it. After two weeks OF incubation the
chicken has attained size that gives the
inside OF the egg dark appearance,
through which nothing can be seen.
Eggs that appear clear and fresh looking
m ay be rated as unfertile and should be
removed after the seventh day.
In running an incubator, test of this
kind is quite necessary, as it is often the
case that thirty or forty per cent. of the
eggs should be taken ont because of I'M
fertility.

A Talk With Some Of the Leading
Changers Of Yakima County.
HOP PROSPECTS FOR NEXT SEASON
Couple of the Big Ranches of
Parker Bottom-How TO select
Eggs for Matching -Misceilnneous
Information of value.

Capt. Robert Dunn states that Parker
Bottom fruit trees will be prolific beyond
all former years II the present cool nights
keep in evidence for some time longer.
The buds are not swelling too rapidly
now on account of the chill air each
night; and no late frosts are feared un-
less the weather suddenly grows warmer
Eastern fruits are reported as blighted
already and some orchards will loose even
the trees on account of the long and Sc
we're winter. Yakima will reap her usual
abundant fruit harvest this fall, II present
conditions prevail. and supply largely
increased market because of the eastern
frigidty. Capt. Dunn by the way, has
one OF. the finest farms in Yakima county.
He has POI acres OF land under cultiva-
ton with bearing orchard OF 700 peach
trees and about as many more apples.
He also has one orchard OF As acres OF
young winter apple trees, mostly spitzen-
burghers. The trees are two and three
years old and are very promising. For
several years the captain has raised wheat
and oats at loss so he has abandoned
further effort in this direction and will
plant 80 acres to corn. Hog raising he
has found profitable but has killed so
close that he has only so head left. Sixty
acres of the balance of his farm is devot-
ed to alfalfa, and forty acres to hops.
p. j. Flint came up from his big farm
in Parker Bottom Saturday last bringing
| with him some dressed hogs and sample
of hams cured by him, which the buyer
said were choice enough to grace any
table. Mr.. Flint's $50 acre farm is divid-
ed into 125 acres OF fruit, 60 acres OF allal-
ia, so acres OF pillow land and the balance
meadow. He has 5000 three and four
year old trees which he estimates will
produce 60, 900 boxes of fruit this year il
the present favorable conditions continue.
Mr.. Flint says there is money in hogs
| but that the market and matter of food
must be closely watched to get the best
returns. He now has $50 head of graded
Berkshire and Poland Chinas.
R. McCoomb has leased a tract of land
east Of the city and is going into the rails

scale. Mr. McCoomb has some very fine
strains, including prize winners, of hou.

cap big prices. There has been some
contracting done at 10 cents, but Mr..
Weed thinks the grower foolish to con-
tract his entire crop at any such figures,
for to the general run OF growers the cost
of production and getting the crop ready
for market is 0 cents. Mr.. Weed sees
reason for some growers who have no as
surance of picking money to contract
portion of their crops for one year, even
at these low figures, in order to obtain
needed advances, but to tie them up for
several years to come at price that gives
little or no profit, is the height of folly.
