THE fields of sugar beets planted
in this vicinity are coming on fine
ly, and promise an excellent yield.
The work of wedding and thinning
the fields has been in progress this
week. Corbin sent in about 40
Japanese who have been working
in the beet fields, but as they were
unable to cover the fields here as
readily as desired, some of the plant
ers decided to try the experiment of
working boys in the fields. A gang
OF about forty boys was gathered to-
gether in Pullman, and for the past
few days they have been working
IN the beets, and have given most
satisfactory service. Boys from 10
to 10 years of age are used, and they
make good wages.

there is that the straw has not the
strength to stand up on rich land
or where storms may strike it, and
the grain frequently lodges so badly
that it cannot be harvested by the
ordinary means. Thirdly, the
wheat now grown has too thick
shell or bran and is none too high
in gluten. To get a variety that
will not shatter, and shall have
straw that will stand up, that shall
have thin shell and be high in
gluten contents-in other words,
to get wheat that shall be exactly
adapted TO Eastern Washington
is the object of Prof. Spillman's ex-
periments, and his work in this
line has proceeded so far and SO
satisfactorily that there is little
koubt of ultimate success.
In taking up this work Prof.
Spillman made more than 300
crosses of two varieties of spring
wheat grown in that country upon
six varieties of winter wheat. The
spring varieties were the little club
and the red chaf, which are hardly
distinguishable one from the other,
and the winter varieties were Lam
caster, Thesis, Tasmania red, Ore
gon club, valley and Jones' winter
fife. From the more than 800 sue
cessfu crosses, Prof. Spillman has
selected II new varieties that pos
sess the characteristics desired and
he must now continue selecting and
planting until he shall get the
types established. 1t takes five
years to establish a type that will
breed true after the desired variety
Is obtained. Careful selections
must be made each year of the
grain that possesses in highest de-
gree the qualities sought, and the
continuation of this process for
five years is sufficient to establish
a type that will transmit its char.
acteristics with reasonable fidelity,
The longer type is established the
harder 1t is to change it. In max
ing crosses the variety that has
been longest established transmits
more of its qualities than does the
younger variety A great many
varieties may be obtained from a
single cross, and it is by selection
and cultivation that a variety pos
sessing the desired qualities is at
length established.
Eor strength of straw Prof
Spillman has drawn on anothe,
plant, the spelt, which grows at the
top of a vigorous stalk, a rough
grain suitable for cattle feed. Ter

New Variety of Wheat.

Professor w. ]. Spillman of the
agricultural college and expert
ment station, is originating new
varieties of wheat particularly
adapted to Eastern Washington.
lie is one of the three or four men
IN the United States who are en-
gagged In the propagation of new
varieties of wheat. He was in
Portland Saturday, and in a talk
with reporter gave an interesting
statement of the results accom-
plished in this line.
Prof. Spillman has been irving
to get variety of wheat that would
be suited to the conditions of East
arm Washington-the Palouse coun-
try. Winter wheat is the crop for
that country and all the varieties
now grown there shatter 40 badly

Z WHITMAN county is now under

empty Jail, there not being a pris-
'oner behindsthe bars. When Cliff
lord was taken to Walla Walla
Wednesday it left the county Jail
without an occupant, and the county
sherig ordered the bastile renovated
end white-washed. We have no
recollection of the Jail ever having
been tenantless before, and either
there must be an improving moral
tone to the people, or the offenders
are doing better job than usual at
keeping their offenses covered up.

varieties of spelt are grown in East
ern Washington Established
types of spelt and wheat will not
crossbreed, but when varieties of
wheat are crossed among them
selves and varieties of spelt crossed
among themselves it is found that
the resulting progeny of the two
plants may be intsrbred. The large
number of hybrids resulting from
this cross breeding will present al
most every characteristic imagin-
able. Most of the strong straw will
proba bly, have inferior grain and
most of the weak straw will prob
ably bear the good grain. But it
is likely that some of the strong
straw will bear excellent grain.
When the by bridizer finds the quail
tiles he wants, it is his business to
select the most perfect specimens
and continue the propagation to
establish the type. Prof. Spillman
having obtained a hybrid of wheat
and spelt with qualities specially
adapted to Eastern Washington is
now continuing the selection and
cultivation to get the types estab-
lished so the farmers may have the
benefit. None of this work can be
delegated to others. 1t requires
the highest skill of the specialist
and his best judgment in selection
to get adequate results, and he must
attend to the matter personally.
The result of giving the farmers
ouch grain as Prof Spilman ex-
poets to put forth will be important.
1t will not only increase the yield
of the fields perceptibly, but also
increase the value of the grain. 1t
will do away with the annual losses
by lodging on rich land, and with
the losses that follow the sowing of
spring wheat in the fall in the at
tempt to grow grain with thin shell.
This sowing is lost when there is
much freezing in the winter. The
new varieties will all be winter
wheat, demanded in that country,
though many of their qualities will
be those of spring wheat Sowing
whest in the fall will not make it
winter wheat By experiment Prof.
Spillman finds that spring wheat
sown In the fall for ten consecutive
seasons so far attains the character
of winter wheat that, when sewn in
the spring, 1t ripens about two weeks
later than the same variety that has
had regular spring instead of winter
sowing. But that is too slow a
change when the farmer is waiting
for new variety. At that rate it
would take 100 years to get winter
wheat with spring wheat qualities
BY originating a new variety this
can be accomplished, it is hoped, in
i've years.

THE MAN FROM THE COUNTRY.
He Is ometimes Little Smarter Than He Appears to Re as This
 Case Proves.

'The country visitor is no longer the easy mark he is pictured said policeman to Chicago Inter Ocean reporter. "Iime was when the farm er-looking person or the man with the village air was always the victim Of city confidence men and bunko dealers. That time has passed. The people from the country have grown sharp and it is no unusual thing for the bland confidence man to find him. self the victim of his own confidence.
 T remember a case of that kind which was very amusing. A steerer managed to get man wearing soft hat, ready-made clothes and boots into a poker game where the brace was all right, as was supposed. The thing did not work, however, and the countryman won in spite of the odds. Then the gang grew desperate and attempted to take the money by force. The granger whipped out 8 big, old-fashioned gun and frightened them so they were glad to get rid of him.
 The story got out and the police concluded that the stranger was him. self a crook from some other city. Investigation proved that while he was really farmer from the south ern end of the state, he was we'll known in the villages whereabouts as irst-class card sharp and handy with his gun.''

The record of the foreign com merce of the United States during the eight months ending with Au- ports of $14,0O0,o0O, and an increase in exports of $23, 1000, 900 comparing the eight months of the calendar year 1901 with the corresponding eight months of 1900. Coffee in- creased from $37,245,2s6 in the eight months of 1900 to s45, ,151, ,o41 in the eight months of 1901, an increase of $7.995,T55.
 Diamonds and other precious stones eight months of 1900 to SIT, ,19s, ,67O in the same months of 1901, an increase of Ss,601, ,47O. Thus the total increase in imports is found in the two ar ticles, coffee and diamonds.

BAD NAME FOR A BOAT.
Naval Superstition in England Con- cerning Names of Ships of War
 Tragic Fates of Many.

Nothing is ever likely to shake the naval superstition that ships named after things that sting are doomed to loss, says the London Chronicle. Be sides the Viper and Cobra, the Serpent was lost with nearly all her crew, the Wasp was wrecked with heavy loss off Tory island, and a second Wasp, a gunboat, disappeared in a typhoon, never to be heard of again. In con- sequence of this double disaster to ships named Wasp that name has been struck out of the admiralty list of available names. In the past we have lost Rattlesnake, Gadfiy and Hornet. Probably new Viper and new Cobra will be built, but should anything hap pen to either of them the name of the other is almost certain to be changed by the authorities in deference to the sentiment that prevails afoat concern ing unlucky names. The only excep- ton that obtains is the Resolution. The present ship is the tenth. No less than eight of them have had tragic fates, and the present one some years since very nearly met disaster at sea. Most of the old Resolutions, however, earned glory first in battle, hence the perpetuation of the name.

FRENCH IDEAS OF NEW YORK.
According to Them Steam Is Dis- carded and Electricity Con-
 sfdered Que of Date.

Le Matin, Paris paper of consid- era ble circulation recently printed an article on New York city and the wonderful things to be seen there. Some of the statements are trife tall, as will be seen from the follow ing extracts:
 "The Americans are decidedly in- satiable. While we are still using steam engines for our railways they have long ago tasted of the benefits of electrical traction, and now they are commencing to abandon electric ity for compressed air.
 1.-The New York line of Manhattan uses now, to the exclusion of all and it appears that the results are so marvellous that the transatlantic papers proclaim steam as thing of the past and electricity old-fash- toned.
 The air is compressed in what the American calls a power station,' something like a gas factory. It is compressed until it attains an ex- pansive power of 1,50o to 2,0OO kilos per square centimeter that it occu- pies. It is then transferred on board the locomotive, where it is stored in a large steel tank, which replaces the boiler. There it is furthermore com pressed by the use of reduction valves, and, reachingea, certain pres sure. it gets heated. It is then ready for use.
 In brief, to listen to the Amer jeans, it is the locomotive long dreamed of"

One even of the Pennsylvania game worthy of note is the difference of opinion as to the score. Referee Cor bin called Morley's attempt at a goal the first time goal. but both Umpire Dashiell and Morley himself say no goal was kicked. That this is right and that the Columbia players and stu dents consider it so, is shown by the fact that the score was posted on South Field fence, next to the scores of Yale and Princeton games, as Columbia, 10; Pennsylvania, 0.
