Diversified Farming Is Necessary.

A correspondent in the Kittitas val
ley writes that the ranchers in certain
sections in the valley are feeling rather
depressed after trying year after year
to make money through ebay farming.
That is a fine hay section, and many
of the ranchers have been making the
mistake of going into the raising of
that commodity to the exclusion OF
practically everything else, save live
stock. Lately they have been selling
off their stock at what the animals
would bring in order to place their
hay on the market at price that was
remunerative. But the market quickly
became overstocked and hay took
disastrous slump, leaving the Kittitas
hay farmer without a market and with
out the animals to eat what hay he
had on his hands. Of course he can
make no money when neither channel
is open-and there is dissatisfaction
and disappointment in consequence.
The mistake in the first place was
made when so many in the Kittitas
valley went into one and the same
kind of farming operations. There
was no Investigation, resulting in
there being too much of one kind of
produce and none of other kinds. 1t
meant going to one or the other eX-
IRENE, either large amount of money
from hay or none at all. There was
no middle ground, that basis upon
which the wise farmer stands and is
content with a moderate but certain
return year after year. Such basis
is to be found in diversified farming
and our people must take it up more

"What Island County Wants."

In The Ranch of April LIST there ap-
peared an article under the above cap
tion 1t was shown what were the
needs of the island settlements, the
statements being intended mostly for
San Juan county, but the article failed
to mention that county Instead ISL
and county got the whole brunt of
attention, if such term may be used.
In letter to the editor l.. J. Irwin, an
attorney of Friday Harbor, calls atten-
ton to the discrepancy and asks us to
correct the impression that Island
county was meant to the exclusion of
San Juan. This we gladly do. Island
county embraces WILDLY island and
Samano, while San Juan county takes
in San Juan, Orcas, Lopez, Blakely,
Stuart and numerous small islands, all
of which were paramount in the mind
of the writer when he penned the ar
ticle in question. San Juan county is
one of the best in the western part of
the state and there is room for large
number of people. A trip over the
county, as our Friday Harbor friend
puts it, will convince the most skeptic
of that, and that they have as fine
land as there is in any state. Eastern
people looking for a good location
should not overlook the advantages
presented by this county.

they think of our region. But Col.
Watterson made the prophecy that
within the next generation the region
known as the Pacific coast section will
have fifty millions of people and that
the great cities then, as now, will be
Seattle, San Francisco and Portland.
He thinks Seattle and San Francisco
will have anywhere from one to three
million people each, while Portland
will be good sized city, too.
There seems to be little doubt that
the National good roads bill will pass
both houses of congress. 1t has passed
the lower house and is very favorably
considered in the senate. This bill
appropriates $24,000,000 for good roads
improvement, $8,000,000 to be used an
nually for three years. The work will
be under the direct supervision of the
department of agriculture, and the
money will pc distributed according to
the population. To anyone who is
familiar with the condition of the
average country roads throughout the
United States, no argument is needed
as to the desirability of some kind Of
good roads movement.

Advertising the Fairs.

Advertising is the life blood of every
kind of business. There are numerous
ways of letting the public know what
one has for sale, but the most effective
and the cheapest is newspaper adver-
Using The impression seems to pre-
vail among the managers of state and
county fairs that there is no need of
advertising the eXpositions they are
getting up, that the people will tumble
over themselves in an effort to get
up to the ticket window and be re-
lieved of the price of admission. There
can be no fallacy worse than this.
Every fair needs a great deal of adj
vertising if it is to be financial sue
cess. Year in and year out we hear
of fair associations going into the
hole but it does not occur to the
managers that if they would thorough
ly advertise their fairs in the county
and state there would be much larger
attendances.
AS an instance that fair advertis-
ing pays we quote from Pennsyl-
vania publication facts and figures that
cannot be refuted What could be
done by the fair association in ques-
ton can be duplicated and even ex-
celled by the fairs of Washington
state. The fair we refer to is the
one held annually in Lehigh county,
Pennsylvania. Last year the associ-
alton decided to spend some money
in advertising, and accordingly it ap-
propriated $2,730.32, of which $2,23434
went to newspapers. At this time the
society was $17,700 in debt, and the
advertising appropriation looked pref
ty big, but the officials seem to have
had most level mind. The advertis-
ing was placed in 112 newspapers in
the territory from which the fair would
attract attendance. The result was
surprising The number of paid adj
missions was never before so large.
Receipts reached a total of SAT ,53204,
of which $21 ,10248 was for admissions.
The society was able to pay off $4,000
of it's Indebtedness, leaving only $500
outstanding. The officers who planned
and executed this advertising cam
paign were reelected, as they should
have been, though some people
thought Gas they always do) that their
advertising was too costly. Will
Washington fair managers emulate
them?

generally before they can expect a
sure income every year. A variety OF
crops from the farm is advisable, for
in case one or two kinds find no de-
mand when ready for the market there
will be other kinds that are in eX-
ceptionally good demand, and from
these the farmer can make money
enough to offset the poor demand for
other classes of products.

Wool shearing in the Walla Walla
section is nearly all done, likewise the

this year, but there is not much wool

Logged-off land in western Wash
ingtOn is great nuisance and many
a rancher is at his wits end to know

The only way seems to get the stumps
all out and destroyed but on a piece
of 20 acres this is big task and
costs money. In the near future, how
ever, we are in a fair way to see
these stumps made into tar and tur-
pentine, in which case the owner of
such land can afford to hire help to
pull his stumps and sell them to the
tar factory at enough to pay ex-
penses.
So many projects reach only the

In the Wenatchee section the floods
from the melting SHOWS, due to the
unusually heavy fall last winter and
the suddenness with which spring
came upon us this year, have been
doing a great deal of damage to stock
ranches and fruit orchards. The havoc
wrought cannot be computed in dol
lars and cents at present, owing to
the lack of definite information.
There has been big scramble on
the part of Yakima potato growers to
sell their stock of spuds. The move
ment was precipitated by the high

have gone up to $36 and $40. This
period of high prices is not likely to
