The market for dairy products
seems to be unlimited. Washington
butter goes to the Alaskan markets
and to the cities of the Orient. It
finds a ready market at home and
in the adjoining states. There are
more people in the cities than in the
country. Every family must have
some OF the products OF the dairy.
The labor fields call loudly for men
to engage in various industries. and
those men must eat the best foods.
With climate, crops and markets
favorable for dairying, the industry
should advance at wonderful pace.

WANTONLY KILL SONG BIRDS

Yesterday lady who lives on
Washington avenue called at the
Daily World Office and told of the
wanton killing of robins by small
boys in her locality.
''One boy boosted of having shot
a." she said. Il saw one poor bird
with broken wing, fluttering abou,
the garden. He said he had shot that
one, too"
In the Wenatchee valley birds are
still scarce.
They are only just beginning to
migrate here, and their presence in
the orchards is greatly to be de.
sired.
While it is true that they may
eat a few cherries, or peek" a
small quantity of other fruit, yet the
damage done by them in proportion
to the good they do in destroying in
sects is infinitesimal.

There may be no law on the
statutes of the commonwealth OF
Washington against the killing oil
song birds. But there's an unwrit

tect our feathered friends.
The parent who provides his child
with a target rife should make the

Are the Churches Getting Results?
Editor Daily World:

Editor Daily World:
Reading your article under the
above heading, leads me to offer the
following:
You spoke of only touching the
ragged edges of the subject.
| believe you only touched the rag
ged edges, when it comes to placing
the responsibility for the existing
conditions.
You ask, Are the preachers doing
their best?" Yes, but 1 beg to enlarge
on the question and would ask, is
the press doing its best?"
Is the city council doing its best?
Are our public officials, and the
private citizens doing their best?
The preachers are willing to as
sumo their part of the responsibility
but Mr.. Editor, there are those who
have authority to act in some mat
tiers, who, if they would act rightly,
ditions than the preachers.
Wenatchee is tough-if you will
excuse the slang-and we are all
equally responsible for the condition.
/ would say that in the home is
the place to begin our work of re-
form.
With many, the home is only a
place to eat and sleep. but they
live on the streets.
No lofty ideals, no noble ambi-
tions, no great enthusiasm is gener-
ated by such a life.
As long as our children are let
loose to run wild, we cannot expect
any better conditions.
Young girls, fourteen or fifteen
years of age, have been seen going
home at three or four O'Clock in the
morning. The parent must have
little concern for their welfare.
But what can We expect in the way
of reform with the young people, or
how could we expect them to take
more interest in the home. when the
mother is out six nights in the week
to the dance or card party or some
thing else, and the father is out sew
en- nights to similar things, with a
little champagne on the side?
l don't know how We a<e to better
the present conditions, but If parents
would take their children into their
confidence, give them good ex-
ample, 1 will vouch for better con-
ditions in the future.
We take great interest in instruct
ing our children in the art of dane
ing. Better instruct them in the art
of labor. They are becoming skill
full at cards, better help them to be-
come skillful whit hammer and
chisel
Honest labor is a disgrace to none,
but idleness leads to vice and crime.

ONWARD MARCH OF DAIRYING

The first creamery was put in OPP
Grafton at Conconully few days
ago. On the day of opening an en-.
thusiastic crowd of farmers gath
cred at the building and engaged in
jovial neighborhood celebration.
Many took milk in cans, jars or bot
ties, and watched the process of con-
verting the cream into butter. When
the churning was completed. the
output comprised forty-three bricks,
weighing two pounds each. The
butter was quickly disposed Of, and
the people pronounced it excellent.
The first patrons, making up host
of thirty-one farmers, were enter
tanned at banquet given in the lead
ing hotel.
Dairying is one of the diversified
farm industries which is making
steady progress in the field of sue

be pastured. The country made up
by Okanogan county is among the
last districts to enter into dairying
as a commercial proposition. That
delay has been caused by lack of
farmers and cows to supply the milk
The country is comparatively new,
and farms are only partly estab-
lished. But in those sections where
enough patrons can be secured to
handle even small creamery, the
work of development goes on with
great rapidity.
There are many reasons why
dairying promises to become one of
the greatest industries in this state.
1t requires but little capital to make
a beginning. The business increases
every month If proper care is given
the feeding and milking of cows
There is no time when the dairyman
feels too poor to invest in the best
stock and secure the best food OBJ

SENSE ON rHE FARM

The farmers of the Inland Empire
are abreast of the times. The FORM
alton of the Spokane Cooperative as
ISOLATION by the farmers of this city
and vicinity is a move in the right
direction.
When men in nearly every other
line of business are forming associai
tions and combinations to facilitate
the handling of their affairs and for
mutual assistance, why should not
the farmers do likewise? Why
should not the farmer form league
with his neighbor to conduct their
business on business principles?
This is an age of changes and the
farmer, If he wishes to keep abreast
of the times, must adopt the methods
which are facilitating the conduction
of business in general.
Farmers, as rule, have been
slow to realize that In union there
is strength" For years they failed
to appreciate the advantages OF or
ganization and, as result, wealth
which should have been theirs, by
virtue of the fact that they are the
producers, has gone to other chan
nels By virtue of this same fact, that
they are the producers, they have the
right to control the marketing of
their supplies, the same as the manu-
facturer of boots and shoes, harvest
ing machinery or building material
has the right to control the output of
his factory.
Years ago, perhaps, the farmer
was not considered capable Of con-
Quoting his own business beyond the
initial stage, and he was often the
dupe of those cleverer than himself,
and was made to suffer financially
A few decades ago there was little
thought of forming a working organ
ization among agriculturistS. But
that time has passed away. With
the gradual advancement of educa-
ton and means of travel, the agricul-
turist has been brought into touch
with the men who formerly handled
his goods, has learned considerably
more about business principles and
as a result has come to the conclu-
sion that, in order to hold his own,
he must plan with his neighbor farm
er and adopt up-to-date business
principles.
The formation of this association
will not only reduce the expense of
the individual member, formerly in
Cured in marketing his products
separately, but should tend to i'm
prove the home market for products
and enable the members to devote
more attention to growing and less
to marketing, thus assisting in the
further development of the resources
of the country.
The members can now feel assured
that their produce will find ready
market with less trouble to them
selves and to the purchaser than
heretofore 1t is stated emphatically
this is not combination to illegally
control prices, but is designed to ia
cilitate the handling of farm pro-
duce. Under such circumstances
they deserve success, as would other
legitimate business interests.-Spo-

SUCCESS IN DIVERSIFIED FARM
ING.

The Dayton Dispatch hevotes a
large portion of it's first page to the
publication of a series of interviews
with the farmers of Columbia cOun-
ty 1t is the custom of the editor to
visit his rural friends every spring
and note the progress in agriculture.
He writes brief description of each
farm, giving the number Of acres
planted to various crops and stating
the general condition of the sur
rounding orchards, gardens and cul-
tivated fields. The continued story
is interesting because it paints the
country as it is and illustrates the
rapid and permanent development
under diversified farming.
Columbia county is the great bar
ley growing district of the big North
west That grain is sought by brew
ers of the Old World on account of
its superior qualities for mailing
purposes. Shiploads are sent every
year to Belgium and Holland to
buyers who have agents in the field
months before the crop is harvested.
Every farm then is a big barley
field. But all barley is not shipped
to foreign ports. Some of it is more
valuable for feeding to hogs, cattle
and horses, either as grain or in the
form of hay. There lies the secret of
much success.
An age of mixed farming has come
over the Columbia county ruralists.
They have acres planted to barley
and wheat, and alongside the grain
fields are meadows of grass, Or
chards and gardens. These places
are filled with cattle, hogs and horses
or under cultivation to fruits and
vegetables. Instead of buying every
thing the family consumes, as was
formerly the plan, the farmers pro-
duce almost everything at home. And
they have something to sell at all
seasons. In addition to attending the
crops of a 220-acre farm, one man
sold horses to the value of more than
one thousand dollars.
Many of the farmers have found
hog-raising one of the profitable
branches of mixed agriculture Those
animals are pastured during the
summer months In meadows of
bronze grass and then given the
range of the grain fields after har-
vest. There is growing market
for hogs, and as natural result the
farmers of Columbia county are be-
coming bankers. They own their
places and have surrounded them
with. all the comforts and conven-
fences of modern agriculture. The
country is connected with the towns
by q net work Of telephones. There

are good schools and churches. The
neighbors are annually getting closer
together and more OF the big farms
are being divided into small tracts.
And Columbia is prosperous.-P.-I.

Editor West virsinlan;
We note two articles in the Forum

and b. z. Gaskins have been suggest.

are good men and worthy citizens. The

out being a partisan. and because OF
his practical fitness to represent and
protect the interests OF our citizens.
Mr.. Gaskins. however, is not seeking
the once himself. but the people who
feel assured OF being profted by his.
services are seeking him for the of.
