to Washington City several days ago
on important business matters and it
will be impossible for him to be In
Walla Walla. Mr.. Hill has recon-
mended to the convention that it adopt
a resolution asking the legislature to
create a road commission for the
state and the creation of the office of
highway commissioner. Under that
plan it is said that he work of con-
structing roads throughout the state
can be carried on in a uniform and
systematic manner, and better result s
can be secured than under the present
system Of constructing roads.

WILL PROBABLY REMAIN TWO DAYS

Governor Henry Mcbride arrived ir
Walla Walla at noon today from Spo-
kane and Immediately went to the
state penitentiary where he will be
the guest of Warden F. A. Dryden
while in Walla Walla. The governor
was accompanied by his private secre-
tary, j. Howard Watson.
Governor Mcbride is making a tour
of the state inspecting the state insti-
tutions, and will probably be at the
penitentiary two days.
Before leaving he may come to the
city and call on a number of his per-
sonal friends as this will be his last
official trip to Walla Walla.
This afternoon the governor made
an inspection of the penitentiary
buildings and grounds.

ming Session.
WILL TAKE PLACE At la VERM's PARK

J. C. Abbott, special agent of the de-
partment of agriculture, and who has
charge of the good roads movement In
this section Of the country, arrived
yesterday from Boise City, and this
afternoon was busy mapping out his
address that he will deliver before the
good roads convention in Walla Walla
Wednesday. The meeting is to be held
at LaVern's Park, which is being spe-
cially prepared for the occasion.
Mr.. Abbott will deliver his lecture
in the evening and owing to the fact
that he will be compelled to take the
O. r. & N. train for Portland the same
evening, he will begin promptly at 8
o'clock. The subject will be Roads
and Road Building" 1t will be illus
trated by stereopticon views and will
show the different methods employed
in road building all over the world.
This lecture is said to be highly en-
PERTAINING and interesting and as Mr.
Abbott has devoted years of study to
the road problem, his remarks will be
replete with valuable information. He
will discuss the subject from all
phases and he will devote some time to
the question of using convicts in road
building.
The local committee on program
held a meeting this afternoon and ar
ranged several of the unfinished de-
tails for the convention. 1t is expect
ed that a large number of the officials
of the counties in southeastern Wash

Is SeedIess Fruit FertiIized?

For some time there has been be
lief that seedless fruit is developed
without fertilization by the pollen
There have been experiments carried
on to determine this and it was
thought that the experiments were re
liable. Without doubt the men that
did the work believed that the fruit
was unfertiliZed and were entirely
sincere in their expressions in that
regard. In South Australia, however
some very elaborate investigations
have been put on foot to discover Il
the Zante currant, the well-known
seedless current, was produced with
out the Intervention of fertilizine
processes. In word it is decided by
the experimenters there that the cur
rant, though apparently seedless, is
the product Of fertilizing processes
At first experiments were made to
produce seedless currants by remov
ing the pollen few days before it
was ready to be precipitated into the
ovules. This work the experimenters
did with the greatest Of care, but in
the end pronounced it impossible to
do the work so carefully that feS
grains of pollen would not get into
the ovules of the fruit. The investi
CATION showed further that the ovules
of these seedless currants are really
fortified and increase in size for
about ten days, after which they
abort. This prevents the seed from
developing, but the growth Is started
by the fertilization in the beginning
This is probably the case with all OF
our seedless fruit. The growth is
started by the fertilization in the or
binary way, and then the seed forma
ton is stopped and this gives more
power to the development Of the pulp
Of the fruit. This is as yet darI

Too Much Water.

The turning yellow of wheat is fire.
quently caused by too much water in
the soil. This same effect is some
times seen in house plants when the
owner has been too attentive to them
and has watered them too often. In
the field of wheat or other crop this
condition may exist when the surface
soil appears fairly dry. The presence
of too much water retards the ripen-
ing of the crop and frequently de-
creases its yield. 1t may be that this
is one of the chief causes why corn
on low land is caught by the frost
when corn on land only a dozen feet
higher is not injured. 1t has been
assumed that it was a difference in
temperature, the cold air running into
the hollows, but 1t does not seem like
ly that so few feet would make all the
difference. But the low land fire.
quently has in 1t more water than is
good for the crop and this retarding
the maturing enables the frost to find
the corn on the low land more imma.
ture than that on land little higher.
The result is that the corn is injured
more because it is immature than be-
cause the temperature there is so
much lower than on the land a little
higher. This is theory, and we do
not know that 1t can be proved by
facts.

Newest Suit Costume.

The tourist" is the name given the
newest suit costume, and in linens Of
all shades and weaves it is Immensely
liked by those who can stand a three
quarter .ergth coat. In cut and ap
pearance it is strongly reminiscent of
the overcoats that the smart and ex.
elusive custom tailors turned out last
season for masculine wear. In the
new garment there is just the same
lapel collar. extremely full underarm
slope, and the shallow belt to adjust
the fullness in the back. Even to the
matter of pockets the novel tourist
coat is quite the replica Of what the
smart girls brother was wearing last
year. And the requisite touch of color
contrast is usually supplied in a vel
vet collar. Sometimes there are also
velvet cuffs.

Blue Serge Always In Favor.

Blue serge costumes never seem to
go out of fashion, and just now they
are very much in evidence. For gen
eral seaside wear, and for yachting
gowns, there is nothing to equal navy
blue serge; but everything lies in its
make and trimming. Combinations of
blue and some other color are still
adopted by the fashionable world, but
blue and green have had their day, in
spite of the fact that blue serge
dresses, piped with bright emerald
green velvet, have not yet finally
dipped below the modish horizon.
Navy blue, daintily piped with scarlet,
is always in good taste, and navy blue
serge trimmed with white cloth Is the
perfection of quiet elegance. 1t makes
a charming gown as a standby for the
late summer and early autumn sea-
son; it is very useful for either sea-
side or yachting. and last, but not
least. it makes an ideal going-away
gown for an August or September
bride.

Ing OF sheep for the final market. At
the present time the great source Of
supply is the western range. But can
that continue to supply the demand for
sheep to feed in our feed lots in the
corn belt? The answer must be a
negative one. The ranges are now
producing all the sheep they e likely
to produce, but the corn belt is not
producing all the corn 1t is able to
produce. The improvements in corn
culture and in corn seed enormously
increase the volume of this kind Of
food that can be produced yearly and
we shall see greater Improvements in
the years to come. This corn must be
for long time yet used as the finish.

More sheep will be demanded in the

the finishers. 1t is evident that we
must raise more sheep on the farms

Butter Production This Year.

Butter production this season is
running along about the same as last
year, certainly not ahead. The West
is making little more butter, due
to the good conditions of the pas
lures, but the Eastern states are
making little less. The surplus in
the West does not more than Offset
the deficiency in the East. AS butter
moves readily from one great center
to another there is no reason why
prices this year should drop below
those of last year. The conditions
during the present month will tell
greatly on the production of butter.
II the month remains normal as to
rainfall the production will be as
great as last year. up to the present
time the season has been a normal
one. In some parts of Illinois and
Wisconsin 1t has been several degrees
cooler than ordinarily, and this has
been in favor of the increased pro,
duction of milk and consequently OF
butter. Prices show tendency to be
steady, and are now likely to remain
SO. gradually rising during the next
six weeks.

Deep or Shallow Soils.

Ordinarily it is desirable to have a
deep soil, that the roots of plants may
strike deep. The latter is a desidera-
tum for the reason that deep root
ing plant is less affected by the
droughts than any others. We see
this in the case of some trees, which
have tap roots and are seldom affect
ed by the dry weather. The shallow
soils are first to respond to drouth
and sometimes they are the slowest
to dry out, when the weather is wet.
The deeper the soil and the more it
is loosened up the greater the zone Of
earth that will be subject to the op-
erations of the bacteria that add nj
trogen to the soil. One way of deep
ening a soil is to pillow it as deep as
possible with a common pillow and
then put on crop of deep roofing
legumes. There are some legumes
that do not send their roots very deep,
such as cow peas, and there are
others that send their rotos to the
greatest possible depth into the soil,
such as the clovers and alfalfa. On
multitudes of farms a soil will re-.
main shallow whatever the crop un-
less the land is drained When this
is done the drains should be as deep
as three feet. Then the frosts will
work in deeper than they otherwise
will and the air will be present on the
displacement of the water. Subsoil
blowing Is sometimes effective and
sometimes not, but it should not be
undertaken unless there is to be a
considerable benefit received from the
operation, as it is an expensive one.

The Sheep Pasture.

The sheep pasture must be some.

count of the deposit Of the eggs of in.

pastures these eggs are said to
be spread by the millions. This is
particularly dangerous ground to be
fed over by young lambs. The man
that has more than one pasture will
find himself in an advantageous posi-.
ton in case of trouble with intestinal
worms arising. He can then simply
change his sheep run from one pas.
ture to the other. Such a change is
not necessary unless there are signs
of the presence Of such worms among
the sheep.

More Ward Room.

Where fowls are kept yarded they
DO not often have the amount of yard
room that should be given them. On
our farms restrictions of this kind are
aot necessary, as land Is worth too
small a price to make it necessary to
essen the amount the fowls should
nave. The small amount allotted to
the poultry is often due to the cost
of fencing. But the larger the yard
the less the cost of fencing. If no top
rail is used, four feet will be found
high enough for wire fence, if the
yard is Of good size. The smaller the
yard the higher will the fence have to
be, as the smaller the yard the more
strenuously will the fowls try to get
out of it. ... ,..

Irish Creameries Increasing.

The number of creameries in Ire
land is rapidly increasing. The in.
crease is among both the proprietary
and the cooperative. OF the former
there are now 300 and of the latter
200. Last year these 500 creameries
received over eighty million gallons
of milk and produced over fourteen
thousand tons Of butter. Most of this
found a ready market in various parts
of Great Britain. The quality of the
butter from these creameries shows
a tendency to improve in quality,
which it must do, as it is brought into
sharp competition with the butter
from Denmark and from Canada, both
of which makes are high in quality.
These creameries make the produc.
tion Of Irish bacon easy, and this has
a high reputation in the English mar.
ket.
