QUESTION OF WATER RIGHT.

Certain North Yakima residents are
kicking on the recent action OF the
city council in lowering the grade on
Wenas avenue, thus cutting off the
lots on the east side from getting
irrigation water from the street
ditch. There being no city water on
which those residents can rely for ir-
rigation purposes, the matter is assum-
ing a serious aspect for those who
have fruit trees and vegetables in their
lots. The question is whether or not
the city should furnish those people
with water for irrigation purpose by
means of the ditch; whether the coun-
Gil has the right to lower the bitches
in such way as to cut off portions of
the adjacent property from getting wa
ter from them for irrigation purposes.
The city authorities hold that the
city is not required to maintain bitches
for irrigation purposes, except to sup
ply the shade trees. Others say that
everyone who pays taxes has right
to the use of the water for irrigation,
and that the city must maintain
bitches so as to make the water pro-
durable. This is an interesting ques-
ton to a good many thriving cities
east of the Cascades, and its settle
ment in the courts would have big
influence on future work on the streets
in those cities, where there are street
irrigation bitches.

CAN LEASE IDAHO LANDS.

The state of Idaho owns a vast
amount of land suitable only for graz
ing purposes and the state land de-
partment wishes ranchers and stock
men to know that all unoccupled
school and special grant lands may be
leased The public is interested in
having it's possessions become as re-
munerative as possible, as the rental
money is apportioned semi-annually
among the schools of the state.
In almost every locality in the
state are school sections or other
state lands that can be rented at from
10 to % cents per acre. Under the law
one person cannot lease more than
$40 acres. A lease may be taken for
any number of years up to five, and
improvements may be removed or sold
to successor at it's expiration.
Applications to lease are made to
the treasurer of the county in which
the land is located. Full information
and copies of the Idaho state land
laws may be obtained of the secre-
tary of the state land board, at Boise,
Idaho The rental on these lands is
paid annually in advance by cash or
note with two approved signers.

RAISE MORE BEEF CATTLE.

The farmers in Western Washing
ton do not raise sufficiency of beef
cattle Immediate local needs may be
supplied in good quantity, but there is
a vast field for profit for the man
who has herd of fat cattle to ship
at regular intervals. The large cities
on the coast make big demand for
beef, and as every one of them is
growing, the demand increases at a
greater ratio than does the number of
beef cattle on the ranches. Conse-
quently cattle have to be brought in
from the range states, notably Utah,
Idaho and Montana, and they come
by the train load. In some sections
hay is scarce and prices for beef have
been high, inducing the farmers to
dispose of nearly all their animals that
were in good enough condition for the
market. But these are simply tenn
porary and local conditions. There
will always be a good market on the
coast for good beef, and when the
markets in the Orient are to be sup
plies also, it will readily be seen that
the beef cattle business is one of the
best in which the ranch owner can
engage. All other conditions, too, are
most favorable.

THE ALLEGED CORN WHEAT.

The somewhat sensational reports
about a remarkable hybrid cereal call
ed corn wheat" have been punctured
by the matter-of-fact department of
agriculture The conclusion is that
not only is there no such thing as
corn wheat" but, in the opinion of
the departments experts, no hybrid of
at any rate, no hybrid that would be
fertile. The true name of the cereal,
which has been incorrectly designat-
ed, is polish wheat" so called be-
cause it is largely grown on the Polish
steppes, though it is not native there,
it's original home being believed to be
in the Mediterranean region. AS re-
CARDS the size of the kernels of this
grain, there is no doubt that, while
much smaller than the kernels of
maize, they are often twice as large
as those of ordinary wheat. The as
sertion that the normal yield of this
grain is from 60 to 100 bushels to
the acre is pronounced as exaggerat-
ed, though the department does not
discredit the reports from Idaho and
Washington that in those states from
go to rs bushels per acre have at
times been grown. 1t seems that
adaptability to soil and climate. So
Polish wheat is restricted as regards
far as the United States is con-
cerned, the department of agriculture
thinks that the new cereal could only
be grown successfully in the region
of great plains and in the territory
on the western side of the Rocky
mountains. 1t should be boon to all
sections where artificial irrigation has
been accounted a condition of fertil-
ity, because a characteristic of Polish
wheat is it's exceptional power Of re-
sistance against drought

THE BULB INDUSTRY.

The business of raising bulbs will
prove the most successful on the
north Pacific coast, from present in
dications, and will be source OF
profit to a great many who will en-
gage in it. The industry has received
great encouragement lately by reason
of Secretary of Agriculture Wilson in
teresting himself in our Puget Sound
bulb industry sufficiently to investi-
gate it's development. This investiga-
ton resulted in his assuring the presi-
dent that the. necessity of the United
States continuing to import from Hol-
land at great expense jonquills, lilies,
tulips and other choice dubious plants
may soon become needless extrava-
gance. Secretary Wilson's depart
ment alone spends $4,000 annually for
imported bulbs. In this connection the
Friday Harbor Islander says: "The
bulb industry in this state had its in
ception on Orcas island, where the ex-
periments of Geo. Gibbs; proved the

There are a number of agricultural
journals engaged in the laudable pur
pose of establishing a character for
renovated butter. This kind of but
ter has character-a previously I'M
enviable one-and if it could only be
established the butter business would
be better off. The wonder is that
more of our exchanges do not join
with the few journals referred to in
giving renovated butter all the char
after that is coming to it. It is a
more insidious rival to legitimate but

The forest problem is in many ways
the most vital internal problem in the
United States. The more closely this
statement is examined, says the Rural
Spirit, the more evident its truth be-
comes. In the arid region of the West
agriculture depends first of all upon
the available water supply. In such
a region forest protection alone can
maintain the stream flow necessary for
irrigation, and can prevent the great
and destructive floods SO ruinous to
communities farther down the same
streams that head in the arid regions.
Even the grazing industry, as carried
on in the west, which might at first
sight appear to have little relation to
forestry, is nevertheless closely related
to it, because great areas of winter
range, available and good for winter
grazing, would be absolutely useless
without the summer range in the
mountains where the forest reserves
lie. - tt+.'

an outlay of about $4,000, inclusive
of salaries, taxes and insurance. In
1902 the volume of business was ap-
proximately $630,O00. Since these
farmers organized their company thir-
teen years ago the business transacted
has amounted to over $4,000,0O0, and
the expense of carrying it on has av-
eraged $4,000 year. The story of this

and invited forty oil her co!ored
friends to attend the dance.

But one Of the invited colored guests

a hurried meeting was held, new
invitations were issued by the class
and the dance was held in another
place at another date. Miss Black
