ployed) in the state of Washington
as they do in the country as a
whole.
The order is: First, agricultural
pursuits; second, manufacturing
and mechanical pursuits; third,
domestic and personal service;
fourth, trade and transportation;
fifth, professional service.
The number of persons employed
in manufacturing and mechanical
pursuits in Washington is relative
ly large, showing that the state is
we'll advanced in the manual indus
tries. The total number of the
male population under this class is
55,376. 1t includes such occupa
tons as bakers, blacksmiths, butch
ers, carpenters, engineers and fire
men, fishermen, machinists, miners,
stonecutters, painters, plumbers
and factory operatives.
The whole number of male per-
sons over 10 years of age engaged
in domestic and personal service is
40,685, this being a large class be-
cause it includes all unclassified
laborers.
The whole number of those en-
gagged in trade and transportation
(including, for instance, retail
storekeepers) is 4O,460; and those
engaged in professional service
(such as doctors, lawyers and many
others) are 1926.

The Palouse Harvest.

Good harvest weather, big yields,
best quality and satisfactory and
rising market are the conditions
that are causing the Palouser to
smile in contentment, and to feel
that his lines are indeed cast in
pleasant places.
Never was such Roadway made
with Palouse harvest before, and
every harvester and every thresher
is working to its capacity, the only
drawback having been scarcity OF
men to put in the fields.
The average of the crops is ex-
cellent, and while as is usual, there
are some disappointing yields, the
great majority of the reports are all
that had been hoped, and the quail
ity is No. I.
A big percentage of the crop this
year is of Red Russian wheat. In
most cases this is making enormous
yields, and the quality is so good
that the buyers are not docking it
as had been talked early in the sea-
son. Red Russian is favorite with
the farmer because of its reliability
as yielder, and the fact that being
strong, thrifty grower, it gets
ahead of the wild oats, and so is
less foul.
Few crops are entirely threshed
as yet, the following having been
reported:
Dave Clark-I7o acres Red Rus
sian, averaged 40 bushels per acre.
Carl Brewrink 10 acres, Red
Russian, IS bushels per acre.
Mrs. N. A. Brewrink-47o sacks
from 22 acres of Red Russian, All
average of 48 bushels per acre.
B. Westerdyke-So acres Little
Club, 3S bushels per acre, and IS
acres barley, 90 bushels per acre.
Henry Young-741 sacks from
IS acres, an average of 90 bushels
per acre.
M. F. Russell-I6o acres Red
Russian, 22 bushels per acre, and
