Colonel W. A. Harris, of Law.
renee, was the democratic caucus
nominee for the position of United
States Senator, and he got
the votes of the democrats on Jan.
uary 90, when the House and
Senate meet to select a United
States Senator.
This action was taken at a caucus
held at democratic headquarters
at the ThrOop, and attended by q
out of the 33 democrats of the
House and Senate. Senator Wac.
gener was not present.
1t took two ballots to agree upon
a candidate. On the first ballot
Harris received 16, SapD 3, At
wood 3, Morgan 3 and Martin 9.
On the second roll call Harris had
IS. Morgan 8 and Martin ,.
1t is the general understanding
that the democrats will cast their
votes for A. W. Benson, the re.
publican United States Senator,
for the short term. as a rebuke
to the republicans for trying to
gobble everything in sight for
Curtis.
Chairman W. H. Ryan, of the
democratic state committee, said
today: The question was asked
at the caucus where Colonel Har-
ris now is. l was able to inform
the committee that he is at Wash
ington, trying to make arrange.
ments for the adoption of more
favorable tariff regulations for
the admission of American cattle
to Germany and other foreign
countries. 1t seems to me it
might be a good plan if the Kan

had been doing the same thing"

MAY WORK HARDSHIP ON GROW
FRS

F the new Washington state statute
/ known as the Paulhamus law, Is to be
i literally enforced by the state, there
is every probability that it will work
a greater hardship upon the fru1tgroW-
ers than on the commission men at
whom it is aimed, according to j. b.
Powles, president and manager Of j. b.
Powles & Co., the we'll known Seattle
commission merchants
Mr.. Powles is not inclined at the pres
ent time to express his full opinion OF
this new measure as he has been I'M
able as yet to secure a complete copy
of the law as passed by the state legis-
lature, although he is acquainted with
the measure as it was presented to the
legislature for consideration. He says
that as soon as he secures copy of
the law, he will consult his attorney at
length regarding it, and will be dis
posed to comply with every feature of
it that will be possible without ma
terially increasing expenses and work
ing too great hardship upon his eli
ents.
1.-THE measure which compels houses
doing business to furnish $4,000 bond
can be easily complied with by the
larger commission houses, but 1T will
work an especial hardship on the
smaller houses-which is unquestionably
a serious feature because the number
of these houses and the business they
transact makes them an important fac
tor in the regulation and control OF
the commission business.
"The effort made by means of this
measure to prevent combinations in the
matter of receipts or prices is entirely
unnecessary and uncalled for as such
a thing has never been attempted on
the part of the commission houses, and
probably never would be- Prices rise
and fall in proportion to the supply
and the demand, the weather and other
mitigating circumstances.
For the most part the law operates
to increase the operating expenses OF
the commission men, and this must or
a necessity work a hardship principally
upon the grower, as it will compel the
manager to increase the percentage OF
the commission and make 1t more ex-
pensive for the grower to market his
fruit or produce. Any commission man
can acknowledge truthfully that the
average expenses Of doing business to-
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1907-05-01
FLOOR COVERINGS

day are between and 9 per cent, and
when a measure passed by the state
tends to increase these expenses, 1T is
not working for the interest OF the frult
growers whose interests certainly should
be primarily consulted. 1t works an
injustice both to the grower and to the
broker and accomplishes good for none
"The regulation Of consignments is
a simple matter, considering the pres
ent organized condition of the fruit
growers. 1t places the regulation strict
ly under their own control, and is en-
tirely UP to them so there needs to be
little legislation in this respect
"The grower should learn that the
houses which do business on business
principles are the ones to patronize, and
those houses which do not are the ones
to studiously avoid. 1t is bad business
for the grower to make his consignment
to the commission merchant without
looking into the standing and business
methods of that particular house. The
money loaner never loans money on
representations made to him through
the mails, but looks carefully into the
matter before doing business. The rrult
grower often foolishly makes his con-
signment to a house in answer to
mere solicitation by letter without look
ing into the standing Of the house at
all. This is not doing business In
business like way and often as con-
sequence results disastrously Tor the
grower.

Many farmers still cling to the old
idea that potatoes run OUT when
planted on the farm a number of years
and that it is necessary to change
seed" to keep up the yield 1t Is true
in some instances that the yield of po-
tatoes from given variety is not so
large the second and third years as 1t
was the first year, and the quality may
not be so high It is but natural that
the increase and the decrease in the
yield Of a variety should occur, also
that a new variety does, as rule, out
WELD older ones. Though the character
Of the soil may affect the yield, the
reason for the decrease is not always
attributable to the soil, but to thought
less methods Of providing seed for each
succeeding planting. Few farmers
would breed from the poorest and
"scrubbiest" animals in their herds to
improve them. Most of them would
practice careful selection. Animal life
seems to appeal to the farmer as some
thing that must be looked after, some
thing that is in every way superior to
plants.
The principal reason for the running
out" of varieties Of potatoes, then, Is
found in the failure Of the growers to
select the best potatoes from his field
for seed. There is individuality among
potatoes as much as there is 1nd1vidu-
atty among cattle, but this is seldom
thought of. All potatoes and potato
hills look alike to most people Hence
the good and the bad are planted,
grown and harvested together, without
any attempt at separation Need we
ask. what will the harvest be?"
The time to select seed potatoes is
when they are growing. All hills show
ing strong evidence Of vigor and pro-
ductiveness should be marked, and
when the potatoes are dug in the fall
the hills marked should be dug sepa-
rately and the predicted productivity
be verified. Potatoes from these su-
perior hills should be stored and used
for seed The process Of selecting the
best hill should be continued every
wear. in fact 1t should be looked upon
as one Of the cultural features in rails
ing the crop. The result from sucn
continued selection would be big sur
prise to the farmers. If some grower
wishes to test this method of selection
for himself he has only to select ten
of the best hills in his field, and at
the same time select ten Of the poorest

BRUSSELS CARPETS.

hills. To make the experiment even,
in cutting the seed potatoes use only
one-eyed cuttings and make the cuttings
from the best and the poorest hills. the
same size, or of the same weight in
fact, make them as identical as pos
sible. Plant the twenty hills side by
side. watch their relative vigor and
finally the yield when harvested.
Such experiments were carried on at
Wisconsin experiment station during
period of eight years, the object being
to ascertain whether decrease in yield
was due to the influence of the soil or
to the universal failure of farmers to
pay attention to methods Of saving
seed.
