NEW HYBRID WHEAT.
Washington Experiment Station Cross.
es BIuestem and Turkey Red.

The Washington State Experiment
station now believes it has succeeded in
combining Bluestem and Turkey Red
wheat into hybrid variety which can
be grown with superior results in the
wheat-raising districts Of the Pacific
Northwest. This experiment was be-
gun in 1908, and the purpose in view
was to grow a winter wheat, which
would lack the boards of the Turkey
Red, and still possess its attractive
qualities as winter wheat. Bluestem
being valuable for -four making pur-
poses, but not we'll adapted to fall SOW
ing, was crossed with the Turkey Red.
The result of cross produces what is
known as hybrid" the term simply
meaning union between two flowers
or plants not Of the same variety. In
all work Of this nature, no definite re-
suits are obtainable until the second
generation, or, during the second years
growth after the cross has been made.
Since the first cross was made, In 1908,
each year the station staff has selected
the plants that possessed the character
iatics Of the desired hybrid. Thirteer
perfect plants w3re obtained from the
cross Of 1908, and now seventeen
thousand of them are growing.
The hybrid ia peculiar in It's inter-
mixing of the qualities of Bluestem and
Turkey Red. The straw grown favors..
Bluestem, but the leaf formation is
much like that of the Turkey Red. For
this reason Prof. Lawrence, in charge
Of the experiment, is not absolutely
sure that the new wheat will in every
way be adapted to all wheat raising
districts of Eastern Washington. In
nearly all instances the kernel iavors
the Turkey Red, although in few in
stances the grain Is white ike Blue.

The old phaeton had experienced
much rough usage. 1t had outlastet
half dozen horses Of various degrees
of speed and energy. But it wasn't te
blame for its present awkward predica
ment. One of the wheels had dropped
into a rut so deep that the hub was
quite buried. There had been heavy
rains and the ground was still soft
and yielding. The soil seemed to close
In on the prisoned wheel and hold Il
fast.
The driver of the phaeton, little
woman of perhaps 30, stepped dowr
and surveyed the situation with G
lengthening face. The pony looked
around at her and whlnnied. He wanted
to get home to his oats. The little
woman looked up and down the road
There was no one in sight. The vii,
lage was two miles away.
She puckered her brows and softly
whistled She had way of whistllng
when things bothered her. She was a
good deal bothered Just at present.
There was her sick child In the vii
lage who needed her attentions.
She stopped and looked down at the
imprisoned wheel.
"In trouble, ma'am?" said a voice at
the roadside
She turned quickly. A man was look
Ing at her from little distance. AS she
turned he took off his soft hat. He was
man of year or two past 30, per-
haps, clean faced man of scarcely
middle height, but who held his head
up and his shoulders well squared.
II am In a little trouble" she an
swered. "Can you suggest any way to
help me2"
He came forward briskly and gave
quick glance at the wheel. s. ~ .a
"Rather frail," be said.

the fence and pry 1t out" she sug-
gested.
He looked at her quickly and smiled.
Then he stopped down and putting
his right hand under the hub slowly
drew the wheel from the rut. When
1t was quite out he gently pushed the
phaeton little to one side and let
the wheels down on solid ground.
The woman gave quick gasp. Then
she frowned.
"You shouldn't do that" she said.
He looked at her and then at the
wheel
why notY' he asked.
"You might strain yourself" she an
swered. There is always risk in un-
accustomed exercises" she saw that
he was smiling. +Are you in the habit
OF lifting weightsf'
"Yes, ma'am," be said Then he sud-
denly turned away from her. A sharp
coEgh seized him and held him In a
brief paroxysm- The woman frowned
again.
''That was q foolish exhibition of
strength" she said
'The cough has nothing to do with
the lifting" he smilingly explained.
"I have 1t pretty often now"
She looked at him searchingly.
@Are you going to the village she
asked

any very clear idea Of where I am
going"
She stepped into the phneton and

Yakima Needs Freight Cars.

There are no refrigerator cars for
the apple and potato men. The horti-
cultural union people have sold all
their apples in stock and have been
waiting several days for cars to ship,
hut they are slow coming in. This
morning Manager E. f.. Sampson said
there would be no trouble in getting
rid of anything that grows in Yakima
were there facilities for sending things
to market. He wants to dispose of all
his apples, or at least to get those
sold to market, but he is uncertain
as to when cars can be obtained
The potato shippers are up against
the same proposition, but the hay
shippers can get few more cars than
any other class of merchandise COM

large variety and kinds of cars to Sc

Potatoes are now bringing from seq
to $2t per ton on board the cars here.
There are still many potatoes in the
hands Of the growers in the Mckee
district, but they cannot be gotten OF

Discussion of Coal Question.

A year ago, during the fall and win
ter II was thought very strange that
coal could not be obtained. Such a
thing as n coal famine was hardly
comprehensive. hut we had 1t, and
Il has continued from that time to
the present, getting worse all the time.
All that time we had the idea that
possibly a colusion existed between
certain companies, on holding off IN
order that another might work off
an inferior grade of coal, or a mix
ture of rock and dirt on the people.
This winter came on without any
relief in view, but the cause has been
shown why and how these conditions
have been brought about. 1t Is sim

Railroad War Near Kennewlck.

This morning the Northern Pacific
put large gang of men at work grad
ing over the right of way of the
North Coast railway near Kennewick
This afternoon the North Coast rail-
way obtained an injunction against
the Northern Pacific to prevent 1t
from proceeding with the work.
The Injunction was applied for be-
fore Judge Rigg. and he issued a pre-
limlnary restraining order. Service
was obtained at this place on the reg
ular Northern Pacific agent, 7. r.
Ryerson, and the foreman of the gang
was served by wire.
Very little definite information as
to the extent of the interference Of
the Northern Pacific could be learn
cd here up to noon today. A brief
telegraphic message was received
about II o'clock from a watchman Of
the North Coast who has been on the
ground there for some time. He sent
word that a gang of men had been
placed on the ground by the Northern
Pacific construction crew and that
they commenced grading at the point
that is wanted by the North Coast.
The North Coast expects the North
en Pacific to put a gang Of men In
Union gap any day, but 1t Is believed
that this will not be done till after
some decision has been made by the
court In the condemnation proceed
ings that are now on relative to this
issue between the two companies.
Another large gang-1s men-are
now working in the vicinity Of the
Union gap completing a survey for
the proposed work that 1t contem-
plates when the North Coast Is ready
to commence construction.
The North Coast is grading In
many parts Of the lower valley. The
contract for doing the grading
through the coulee toward Kenne-
wick had been let and work was under
way on part of 1t at the points where
the Northern Pacific is now interfer-
ing.-Yakima Republic.

OF course, the price will be a little
higher because there will not be any

Since our great railroad commits
sion has been regulating the rates,
the freight on coal from Rock Springs
to Washtucna has been raised from
$3.75 to $40 per ton.
When the commissioners get every
thing regulated, there will be all
kinds of joint connections and you
will get coal but you will pay dearly

It is not at all unlikely that $40 per

Holding Hay for Advance.

Many hundreds of tons of hay are
held in the local warehouses by the
farmers, waiting for the price to reach
$50. Dealers are now offering s19
at the warehouses, but the farmers
are confident that $50 will be reach
ed shortly. Thousands of tons of tim
othy are grown on the flats along the
Palouse river east of this city each
season, and net the farmer more than
any other crop raised. Practically
all of the up-river crop is shipped
from the Palouse station, making this
one OF the principal hay shipping
points in the inland empire.-Palouse
