without wraps and then howl because

Dat Culture

| The average farmer is careless in the
selection of his seed oats. his prepa-
ration OF the seed bed for them and his
methods of harvesting. Their value in
rotation and as a stock food deserves
better treatment Not one farmer in q
hundred can select given variety of
oats from its appearance in either the
shear or the granary, the consequence
is that there are great many more
So called varieties than there is any
need or use for. When the oat va
rieties are classed as to color, white.
yellow. red, black; then, as to form of
head, straight and side; them as to
manner of growth. big ard little. the
story of varieties is about all told
The seed for an oat crop ought to
be at least of a pure variety. Other
wise the grain will ripen unevenly,
and of this the oat is very sensitive.
The difference of three or four days in
the condition Of ripening when cut will
determine whether the contents of an
oat head will land in the wagon box
or the straw stack. 1t is rarely indeed
that an oat field is seen to ripen so
evenly that about third of the grain
will not be shrunken and light at
threshing.
Another cause for uneven ripening
is the unequal preparation Of the soil,
and uneven distribution of seed on the
soil. A spot of oats sown a little too
thin will not ripen normally early-a
spot sown a little too thick will ripen
too early. In both cases there is loss.
BY all means take pains to SOW the
seed evenly. 1t will pay to resort to
the tedious process of seeding oats
with the drill in order to secure an
even distribution of the seed.
Another important factor in oat cul-
ture is to get seed free from smut tt
scarcely exists, tho it is easy to kill
smut in oats by the we'll known hot
water treatment, or by the easier for
malin treatment. And this condition
goes on from year to year notwith-
the known loss from oat smut
is from 10 to so per cent of the crop
on the general run of farms. This is |
not good husbandry; and the nearly |
universal application of the criticism
made here gives its own argument for
a reform in methods of growing this
crop.

Corn Contest Notes.

Having passed an extremely interest
ing day at the experiment. station al
Aines. mostly in consultation with
Professor Holden, I am pleased to re-
port that our Marshall county corn con
test viii be supplied with some very
choice seed corn from the station.
OF the Reid's yellow Dent we are
promised three bushels If necessary.
This is to be from stock of 500 or $50
bushels recently purchased after per-
senal inspection by Professor Holden.
in the state OF Illinois, Corn grown
from seed from the same locality ma
tured fairly well last year in Sioux and
| Winnebago counties ana perfectly at
| Ames
While the corn as purchased is prob
ably equal to any that can be found
/ costing 50 per bushel in hundred
bushe lots-it will be assorted with
great care as described by Professor
| Christie al our recent institute. and the
| selected eat, after the tips and butts
are discarded, will be shelled and put
| in one pound ages-equivalent to
about one quart each. This is the por-
| ton from which our supply is TO come
and Professor Holden said the corn
will be very good if that grade amounts
to one-third of the total stock purchas-
| ed.
Surely it would be foolish and pitt
full to give such seed any but the best
possible chances; and it is now decid-
ed that all contest plots must be iso-
lated so far as practicable from other
corn. Several contestants have already
expressed their intention of planting in
separate plots. so that it is reasonably
certain those who failed to do so would
have no show for the prizes.
OF far more Importance than the
prizes is the necessity for keeping the
plcfs separate that each grower may
have enough pure seed for his main
crop next year, when further separa-
ton will not be imperative and real
corn breeding may be carried on, as
will be explained later.
A method followed i'm many similar
contests is when there Is no separate
yard or garden. to plow up one corner
of an oat field or even mea dow
About one-fourth of an acre is requir-
ed, little more than 500 hills, and the
nearer square the better; though a
patch ten rows wide and nearly TWEEN
ty rods long may do just as we'll.
The Silver Mine seed to be furnished |
was grown at the station and Will be |
graded equal to the other. AS only one |
applicant has expressed preference |
for specially early variety that class I
will be dropped 1t Is also thought
that points will be better covered in !
the experiment. TO be conducted at the
county farm.
All applications should be In by
April II, so the packages may be or
dered and distributed by the Goth. Two
or more boys in a family will be sup
piled If there is enough seed and in
such cases the plots may join each 9TH

The directors have not yet arranged
the prizes but they will doubtless be
worth working for. Directions in de-
tail will be sent with the seed.

DIVORCE LAWS.
[Wat.arloo Reporter.i

W dl'sl Ibpt Itcpot tti.1
| While cruel and inhuman treat
ment, jeopardizing the life and health
of the plaintiff" is the ground most
| frequently alleged. there is little doubt
! that in a great majority OF cases the
real reason for seeking q separation
| is in the desire of one or the other
party to enter into other matrimonial
arrangements with a third party
whose name rarely appears in connec-
ton with the divorce proceedings.
This is the real motive for divorce in
the large number of eases where di-
vcrce is sought. If divorce did not
carry with it the privilege of forming
new marital ties the number of Pc
titions would be immensely lessen
ed
While it may not be q wise policy
or one tending to morality to debar
Divorces forever from again entering
into marital relations there is good
reason for believing that a provision
fixing a certain term of years follow
ing separation before another mar
riage could be contracted would be in
the interest Of morality and would
tend TO lessen the number of those
relationships. Such a provision would
still leave full opportunity for legal
separation III cases where actual
wrongs and brutality made such sep
arations desirable and would therefore
go far in medying the growing di-
vorce evil while still affordiTg all de-
sirable relief TO those for whose benefit
divorce laws We're granted.

positively refuse to work upon any

READY FOR SHOW
Annual Exhibit Opens IN
Armory Hall Tomorrow.
OFFICIALS HARD AT WORK TODAY
Many Exhibits Arrived Today and
Were Plaeed-Big Breeders Will
Be Here Tomorrow.


Bigger and better in every way is
what the annual poultry and pet stock
show of the Walla Walla Poultry as
sociation. which opens in Armory hall
tomorrow. promises to be this year.
Officials of the association were busy
today receiving exhibits and placing
the big show room in shape for the
opening tomorrow morning. A large
stock today and saw that they were
properly placed to the best possible .ad-
vantage for show purposes. and outside
exhibits are expected to arrive on eve
ming trains.
The indications are that the show
this Year will be better in every re-
spect than any heretofore held by the
associa ton, President Randall said
this morning. The number of local
exhibitors will be as large if not larger
than last year. and we have the assur-
ance of large number of outside eX-
hibits. Sixty birds will be received
this evening from Pullman: forty from
Colfax and large number from Spo-
kane and Geiser, besides the usual
quota from Milton. Freewater and the
country districts, where an unusual
degree Of interest in the show is being
manifested. G. ;. Shaw. the we'll
known Barred Rock breeder Of Sand
Point. Idaho, will be on hand with Il
large number of prize winning birds
and other winners in last years show
will compete again this year.
Judge Mcclave of Ohio who is to
judge the exhibits this year. has ar
rived in the city and was an interested
onlooker around the show room today
Mr.. McClave has the reputation of be-
ing one of the best judges Of poultry
in the United States and his judging
will probably be one of the features of
the show.
