! WHAT PEOPLE SAY. !


Z. Ii. Libby: North Yakima hal
made wonderful showing in new build
ings and street improvements since wal
here about two years ago. The new
buildings are substantial and there is ar
air of prosperity in and about the city
thai shows you have the county and natur.
al advantages to back it, have Ions
been cognizant OF the wonderful posibill.
ties of North Yakima and believe it des.
tined to be one of the leading cities of tn e
state.
Arthur Coffin: We have tried the ex.
pertinent of pasturing sheep on alfalfs
land with view to determining the yield
of hay the following season. We found
the result was an increase OF over SO pei
cent. This experiment was tried on a
five acre tract north of town and shows
conclusivelv that there is money in past.
uring sheep on alfalfa land. Besides the
increase in yield, there is the rent for
pasture which the sheep men are always
willing to pay after the hay has been Gu,
and stacked.
I. H. Vissers-Threshing on the reser-
walton is now in full blast. The yield on
fall sown grain is number one, but on
spring sown is somewhat lighter. John
Sawbridge's threshing outfit seems to be
doing the bulk of the work down our
way and is giving good satisfaction. We
have 81 stacks OF grain which will re-
quire full week to thresh, and longer II
we should have any bad luck. The Hol-
land corporation, of which am . mem.
Der, has just leased to a Mr.. Taylor full
section of land, on which he proposes to
sink an artesian we'll for irrigating pur.
poses. He expects to begin clearing and
leveling his land this fall and will have
it ready for fall planting to alfalfa next
year.
Walter Bates-Yakima and the Yak.
ina valley are good enough for me. One
cannot appreciate the climate and crops
Of this section until he has been away
for five or six years. The improvements
around the city and throughout the
county are wonderful.
Geo. H. Hull do not claim to have
discovered sovereign remedy for the
Cooling moth as THE HERALD stated re.
Gently. H. D. Winchester first told me
about it. l have made use of the remedy
and find that lot of old fruit jars or
other wide mouth vessels partly filled
with vinegar and kept so from May till
late fall is one OF the best means for ex-
terminating the Cooling moth. 1t is
sure to benefit the one who uses the
vinegar and believe that if all parties
who have any fruit would give the remedy
thorough trial for two years that there
would be no more Cooling moth. But
where a grower is situated in the midst
of fruit growing community which
makes no effort to even check the Cod
ling moth, it requires very close attention
to be entirely clear OF the pest.
D. E. Lesh-The attention OF the gov
eminent should be particularly devoted
to lakes Katcheez, Gle Elum and Bump.
in for storage reservoirs. Combined there
are 10000 acres of water which would
largely solve the question which will
arise over the increased demand iol
water with the fuller settlement of the
country. l believe bringing water from
the Tietan is the only solution of the
Ahtanum troubles.
f. A. Alexander--A little four-year-old
came into our place of business last Sat-
urday with Look of mystery on his face
that was very noticeable. He threw a
half dollar on the counter and said,
mamma sent me down here for some.
thing but have forgotten what it was,
Give me so cents worth of anything.
