Hunts confidence in him for not only

mails to their execution Sheriff Hunt
showed good judgement and his own

CANAL IN DANGER
GIVEN A BACK PLACE ON TIL;
SENATE CALENDAR.
Philippine. Cuban Reciprocity. Revenue and
Appropriation Bills Are on Top Of H..
and It May Not Again Reach Daylight
However. Committee Says Vote Will Be
Reached Before Adjournment.

Washington, April while the pos.
tive assertion is made by the members
of the steering committee that the action
of that committee in giving the Philip.
pine tariff bill right of way ahead of the
canal bill is not against the interest OF
the canal, there are some who believe
that it has been serious blow to the
canal. Some members of the steering
committee have quietly charged other
members with having placed the Philip
pine bill ahead of the Nicaragua canal
bill with the deliberate purpose OF de-
feating the canal measure. This is de-
MED, and it is asserted that the canal
bill shall have consideration and a vote
before adjournment.
But with an understanding that the
Cuban reciprocity measure is to be con-
sidered as revenue bill, and that 1t and
appropriation bills are to have the
right of way, there will be a long
postponement of the canal bill. A very
prominent member OF the steering COM
mittee said that in his judgment the
course means serious antagonism to the
canal. Those senators who are in favor
of the canal assert that they will do all
in their power to prevent adjournment
before the canal bill is voted on.

Cowpcas and Fieldpeas,

There seems to be considerable mis-
apprehension regarding the cowpea. AS
it is generally known it is sort of ten
der bean. hence it will not succeed out
side Of a Southern latitude. While It
is true that most Of the varieties do
best in the South the early sorts may
be planted in the North even as far
as the Canada line. with fair success,
although in the States as far north rs
Minnesota and Michigan the best re-
suits can probably be had with Grim
son clover or Canada fieldpeas. AS
crimson clover seems to be more or
less tickle and requires a soil reasona-
bly, rich the pea comes in very useful.
or the true cowpeas the varieties
"Warren's Extra Early" and Early
Black Eye succeed best in northern
sections and both of these sorts have
been successfully grown as far north
as Maine and Michigan. To get the
best results from cOwpeas seed as soon
as the cold spring rains are over ana
if grown for hay or fodder feed to
swine in the field or harvest when the
first pods begin to turn brown. IL to
be turned under. vines as well as roots,
do the work in the fall and let the fol-
lowing crop be rye and turn this crop
under in the spring; then use the
ground for anything desired. Indian

GREAT INCREASE
IN OUR EXPORTS OF AGRICULTU-
RAJ PRODUCTS.
Shipments Abroad for the Year 1901 Valued
at Nearly a Billion Dollars, Cotton and
Breadstuffs Leadins-Compared With the
Record Of 1900 They Show an Increase Of
Over a Hundred Millions.

Washington, April THE depart
ment of agriculture has issued state
ment of the foreign trade of the United
States in agricultural products. 1t shows
that during the fiscal year 1901 foreign
countries purchased American farm pro-
ducts to the value of 1852 900 600, re-
presenting the largest agricultural ex-
ports in our history. Compared with
the record for 1900 they show an increase
of over 100000 600. Our agricultural
imports on the other hand disclose con-
siderable falling off, when contrasted
with the trade of the year preceding.
The various products of agriculture re.
ceived from foreign sources during 1901
had an aggregate value of only $3.50 ,0O0.-
600, or $2S 200, 900 less than in 1900. In
comparison with the value of our agri.
cultural imports. our agricultural ex.
ports show the exceptionally large ex-
cess of $560,000, 900.
Our import and export trade with
Hawaii and Puerto Rico was not includ-
ed, as previously, in the foreign COM
merce returns of the United States for
1901. In 1900 our agricultural imports
from Hawaii and Puerto Rico were
valued at $24 900 900 and our agriculture
al exports to those islands at about $5,-
100000.
The leading items among our agricul.
cultural imports for 1901 were Coffee,
hides and skins; silk vegetable fibres,
fruits and nuts; tobacco, wool, tea, wine
and cocoa vegetable oils, distilled spirits.
seeds, vegetables and spices, the COM
bined value of these items amounting to
about $685., 0OO, 900.
During 1901, for the first time in sew.
eral years, our exports of cotton exceed
ed in value our exports of breadstuffs.
After cotton and breadstuffs, which held
the first and second places in our agri-
cultural export trade, meat products
formed the largest item. Additional ex-
ports of leading importance, as named in
the order of their value, were live ami
mails, tobacco, vegetables, oil, oil cake,
and oil cake meal, fruits and nuts, dairy
products and seeds. These ten items
comprise in value 81 per cent of our total
exports for 1901.

WASHINGTON WON OUT.
Debate Between Idaho and Washington Occurs
at Moscow,

Moscow, Idaho, April 5.-The second
annual Washington Idaho debate was
held in the auditorium of the University
of Idaho. The contest, which was close
and exciting, resulted in the victory for
the University of Washington. Over 500
were in attendance. The judges were
President Knepper, of the Lewiston
Normal school President Beech, of the
Washington Agricultural college, and
Rev. Mr.. Booth, of Moscow. The pre-
siding officer of the debate. Rev. Taylor,
read the question and introduced the
speakers. The question for debate was
"Resolved, THAT the adoption of the
Fifteenth amendment to the constitution
of the United States has been justified"
The Fifteenth amendment reads as
follows: /. The right of citizens of the
United States to vote shall not be denied
or abridged by the United States, or by
any state, on account of race, color or
previous condition of servitude. 9 The
congress shall have power to enforce
this act"
The affirmative side of the question
was upheld by the Idaho team, and the
negative side by the Washington team.
The Washington team consisted of j.
Fred Gels, J. Y. G. Kellogg and Joseph
Bird, while Idaho's honors were upheld
by William +. Lee, Fred Mcconnell and
Mr.. Mitchell.
Idaho was strong on oratory, while
Washington eXcelled in weight Of argu.
ment and clearness of presentation.

Raise MOre-Buy Less.

In the olden days of farming such a
thing as farmer patronizing a butch
er was Gnheard of. The butcher was
the buyer. and not the seller, and sim
liar relations existed. to less extent.
between the farmer and the dealer in
stock foods.
There is no excuse for farmers
placing themselves in position where
they must buy all or most of their
meat. nor should they buy food for
stock. except where it is necessary to
buy something to fill out a ration. and
this something that cannot be raised on
the farm prolitably. Still, even such
stock food should be paid for. in Il
sense, by selling some other food of
which one has surplus.
If the average farm is rightly han.
died it should supply its owner with
most or all of the meat for the family
all Of the fruit and vegetables. eggs
poultry and butter. 1t should also sup
ply most of the food needed for the
stock. Farming in this way, with GER
tain crops which one knows best how
to grow in order to obtain the cash nee
essary for incidental expenses, one car
ries on the work in way that is prof
table.

Growing Alfalfa.

The statement regarding sorghum. to
the effect that farmers are getting over
the idea that it is mainly-a crop for
favored sections. applies as well to
alfalfa, one of the finest Of forage
crops, when one comes to know 1t well
and to properly grow 1t. The soil
should be well prepared for alfalfa;
and it should be a deep soil. for the
crop is one that may be cut at least
twice a year. after the first season. for
several years. Sow the seed with a
grass seeder, using from fifteen to
twenty pounds an acre; harrow lightly
and then roll firmly. Usually the plan
is to first sow the ground with some
grain crop, like barley, following di-
rectly after with the alfalfa seed in
the quantity named. Harvest the bar
ley when ripe. but do not pasture the
alfalfa the first season. 1t is important
that this be not done. and here Is just
by pasturing the first season the plants
do not have fair chance to get a
hold in the ground. AS matter of
fact, If hay Is the crop desired. alfalfa
should not be pastured at any time any
more than any crop which is intended
for hay. The second season the alfal-
ia will show its head early in the
spring, and may be cut at least twice
that season. possibly three times. The
following seasons three crops each
summer can readily be cut from the
field. Alfalfa is drought-resisting. the
stock like it, and it is as easy to grow
as any hay. Try an acre of it this
spring as an experiment.

New Creameries for Iowa.

We are advised by several creamery
supply statesmen travelling in Iowa that
the prospects for new creamery build
ings this spring are better than for sew
eral years. A number of new factories
are now under way, and as soon as
spring opens it will keep the statesmen
busy visiting the points which are good
prospects" No one seems to under
stand the cause of the boom which is
surely coming. as it would seem that
the high price of feed would be dis
couraging feature. But the farmers
have the creamery fever. and there is
good business in sight for the creamery
supply houses.-Creamery Journal.

This is partly due to the fact that ma
ture forces the growth Of the young
animal rapidly, bones, muscles and
flesh all growing so that every ounce
Of food is almost entirely converted
into live weight. There is practically
no loss. and all the animal requires Is
fair attention and good food. Nature
is then able and willing to do the rest.

STATE CAPITAL NEWS.

Olympia, April S.-The secretary of
the capitol commission has received COM
munications from the iron manufacture
ers in the East, stating that the iron
beams ordered for the annex would be
ready for shipment in less than two
weeks. These beams will arrive in
Olympia about the LIST of May and at that
time large force of men will be at once
employed to push the work on the an
mex during the summer months. The
failure of these beams to arrive sooner
has been the reason for delay in the
work the past month. In the meantime
force of men have been getting out
stone for the building which will be
placed upon the ground and be ready to
put in the walls as soon as the beams ar
rive.
Olympia, April I'm response to an
invitation from the Olympia Typograph-
zeal Union, delegates from nine local
labor unions met behind closed doors to
discuss the advisability of forming local
trades council. A temporary organiza-
ton was effected. I. p. Hollcraft, presi-
dent; A. w. Jones, secretary. The
council will meet Thursday night to per-
feet a permanent organization. The
movement is purely local, no organiza-
ton from any federation of labor being
present. The object is to promote the
best interests of organized labor in the
city. Politics will be eschewed from the
deliberations OF the body. The sympa.
thy of business men is said to be with
