 Uncle Sam, have other nations built sub marine boats?
 France has built more than we have. Her boats are pretty much on the same plan, except that some of them have tube reaching up to the surface, with q camera there to throw an image down the tube inside the boat. This is too fancy q device for your Uncle Sam. My friend Johnny Bull used to put his tongue in his cheek when any one said submarines, but l notice he is building them now, too. One thing is sure, with two or three good, lively submarines there could be no such thing as blockading a harbor Even one at Santiago would have unbottled the Spanish fleet in short order.
 Thank you, Uncle Sam: thank you. We'll tell our teachers that Saturday beats any sehoolday in the week. Goodby.

 When that has been done the players should refrain from talking for a while, so that they may do a little thinking and you know very well that if you keep on talk ing to each other there will be no chance to think. But when the thinking Is over you may talk as much as you please.

Some of our boys and girls, perhals, would rather have big game of fromps ott in the school yard, at recess, than stay indoors and play one of the games that we are giving here. On the other hand, some of them would rather stay indoors than play outside.

HOW TO KILL SMUT.

There was fairly large attendance
of farmers at the state experiment sta
ton last week to witness the expert
ments conducted by the station staff
in treating wheat to kill the smut
growth, and deep interest was mani
tested in the work that means SO much
to the farming interests of eastern
Washington.
For the conducting of the expert
ments, which were under the super
vision Of Prof. Beattie, lot of badly
smutted red chaff wheat was pur-
being divided into a number of lots,
each lot being accorded different treat
ment, the various lots then being
planted under like conditions in plats
on the station farm, the soil and loca-
ton of each plat being identical.
All the wheat was treated by fan
ming as it is handled by the average
farmer, and plat No. 1 was seeded with
this wheat untreated for smut. Plat
No. was seeded with wheat treated
by the hot water method; No. with
the formalin in trough; No. with
formalin sprinkled; No. with vitriol
in trough; No. with vitriol in barrel,
and No. with wheat soaked for IL
hours in a weak solution of vitriol.
Experiment No. was conducted by
Hon. Lillis F. Smith, in the manner
advocated by him, and No. 6 by Mr..
Kittzmiller, after his method, each of
which has proven successful on the

the proof that the association has
ever received any income worth men,
tioning except from the treasury of
these railroads. If it is a public asso-
citation, maintained in the public in

cial statement usual in such societies?

duced to do SO. This is no secret. 1t

Mead, that substantially the same
charges were made before a Congress-
ional committee. Mr.. Maxwell has
never publicly denied them, and
know that he cannot truthfully deny
some of them"
The writer goes on to declare that
now, since the irrigation act has re-
ceived such popular favor, Mr.. Max
well is claiming credit, and repre-
sents that he has entire charge of the
irrigation work in the West; in fact

a sort of foster-child of Uncle Sam,
and whatever he says goes with his
gifted parent"
Again Mead says: 'This explanation
is made because of a belief in the
work being done by the Agricultural
Department, and that to have it mis-
represented and misunderstood would
be an injury to the whole country, be-
cause of belief that Mr.. MaXwells
present activities are altogether sell
fish, and that they threaten the work
ing of a beneficent measure. An I'M
derstanding and investigation of the
questions l have raised is desired with
myself and all those connected with
the irrigation work of the Agricultural
Department"
1t will be seen from the foregoing
that the department is considerably
aroused over the attacks of Mr.. Max
we'll, and just where the controversy
will end is problematical. The
chances seem favorable toward some
of the spirit of the enmity creeping
into the Oregon Irrigation Congress
soon to be held.

farms of the gentlemen named, and
explanation of which has been given
in previous articles.
The growth and harvest of these
various plants will be watched with
deepest interest by everyone in east
ern Washington, where the smut prob
lem is of such great Importance, for
it is hoped that the time is near when
some successful remedy will be found
for the smut disease which causes
the loss of thousands of dollars every
year.
The college, in line with experiments
already made, recommends the treat
ment of seed wheat by using the
formalin in trough, as in experiment
No. 8. In bulletin just issued, this
method is given as follows:
make large tight watering
trough. The size will depend upon
the amount of grain to be treated at
one time. The larger the trough the
more quickly and economically the
grain can be treated. A trough II
feet long, two feet wide and two feet
deep will treat more than 20 bushels
of wheat at one time. Make up the
formalin solution at the rate of one
pound of formalin to 60 gallons of
water. Do not make it stronger than
one pound of formalin to As gallons
of water, or you will kill your wheat
Partly fill the trough with this solu-
ton.
Pour or shovel the wheat slowly
from the sacks into the trough, so
that the wild oat grains and smut
balls will separate out and float. Skim

oats is usually worth cent or two a
bushel to the farmer. Add more solu-
ton and more wheat until the trough
is nearly full Let the wheat remain

being chief of irrigation Investigations
of the Interior Department, while the
latter until the last irrigation con-
gress was president of the National
Irrigation Association.
Mead asserts that Maxwell acted
in bad faith, and accused him Of oppos-
ing the national irrigation act. He
claims that Maxwell is actuated by
personal animosity, and attacked the
department because possibly of sour
grapes" and both men mix up over
land leases and technical things hard
for one not acquainted with the facts
to understand AS likely one or both
of the principals will attend the
Oregon Irrigation Convention, it as
sumes greater interest.
Whatever the points of difference,
the following language, expressed by
Mr.. Mead in an open letter to the
delegates, and just issued, is plain
enough to be understood. 1t says:
Judging from the fervor with which
Mr.. Maxwell now supports the nation
al irrigation act and attacks those
whom he claims opposed it, one
would suppose it had, from start to
finish received his answering sup
port"
Mr. Mead then quotes Mr.. Maxwell
as saying in his paper, about the act,
among other things: "The whole move
ment is a scheme of spectators and
landgrabbers to loot the national
treasury for selfish, private profit.
1.-THE II Western members" con-
tinues Mr. Mead ''who framed the
national irrigation act can answer for
themselves whether "the whole move
ment was a scheme of spectators,
etc. That is Mr. Maxwell's statement,
not mine If l had said it, ] would
have expected to be charged with OPP
posing the bill, and would have been
chary about charging opposition on
the part of Others

1t is fair to ask who has furnished the
money for this censorship of Congress
and public officials, and what has been
the real influence which controls his
activities. The San Francisco Chron-
icle answers these questions editor
tally as follows:
George H. Maxwell, of San Fran
cisco, who has been prominent in the
National Irrigation Association for
years, is the uncomprOmising foe of
the bill, and declares it cannot pass.
The organ of the Irrigation Asso-
citation has published an article
against the bill, and this is being used
by the Eastern enemies of irrigation
to show that the Western people do
not agree among themselves. 1t is
