amateur agriculturist. Much of the soil
is suitable to agriculture but rarely
an acre of it is fit for the best inten-
sive practice without irrigation, even
though we consider the high average
precir itation as forty inches per an
mum. The above statement may sur
prise many, yet such are the facts.
The greatest essential to intensive
farm practice is water applied when the
plant needs it most. And this is clearly
evident when we realize that three
fourths and more of the plant is water,
and that the plant makes the important
part of it's growth during the period Of
congenial temperature when ample
moisture must be afforded for best re-
suits Especially when the early reriod
of the growth of the plant had ample
moisture it should not be curtailed
later at critical time when it has
learned to depend on it for best de-
velopment.

While there may be more than ample
rainfall for all crops, yet much of 1T

only to refer to the protracted dryness
of last season to verify this POINT.
These conditions are not confined to
western Washington alone, but include
other humid sections.
Precipitation and Soil Conditions.
Thus it will be understood that the re-
lation of precipitation or moisture to
soil texture and it's formation is of the
utmost import to the agriculturist; for
it is the foundation upon which all
other essential secondary influences de-
pend to aid in maximum crop produc-
tion. u
The capacity Of the soil to hold
moisture depends on the fineness and
consistency of the soil particles and the
depth of the soil to act as a reservoir
to retain the moisture. The particles
may be fine and soil deep and yet be
impervous to water. The particles may

be fine and soil deep and yet of such
consistency, due to certain chemical ac-
ton, that although it may hold moisture
yet the roots cannot forage readily be-
cause the mechanical condition of the
soil cannot be readily transformed to a
good physical condition to make the
water available as plant food.
Soils may be in perfect condition to
grow maximum crops and yet lack in
depth to hold moisture due to the sub
soil being either impervious to water,
or the other extreme-too porous and
permitting the water to percolate be-
yond the reach of plants and thus to
go to waste. There are many minor
variations of soil conditions based on
the above loutline and which affect the
moisture content of soils.

Washington is too shallow to practice

some system of irrigation. One can

old as the hills especially in western
Washington. The relation of the duty
of water in representing three-fourths
of the earth's surface, to the remaining
one-fourth, finds it's solution in the har-
monious forces of nature and acts as a
basis for the scientist to attempt to
solve the problem of segregating each
while endeavoring to discover the physi-
cal relations of the forces which keep
the earth in it's balance. is
But to the agriculturist the important
question in the duty of water is to
learn it's proportionate relation to or
ganic life when it represents three
fourths COR more of the whole to main
tain a balance. Simple though 1T may
apr ear, the influence of water while
performing it's duty in organic life has
confounded science. And of the varl-
Gus sciences affecting agriculture, which

possibilities, but because OF the solu-
tion of the farm labor problem ana the
concentration of larger ana more
prosr erous population, aiding to estao-
lish more thrifty agricultural ana cul-
tural centres.
The intensive principle of farming Is
of the utmost Importance to the de-
velopment of agriculture in western
Washington, especially because OF the
cost of clearing the land of stumps'
which limits ones capital and eHorts'
and the adaptability of the land to agrl-

ton farming as a whole must depend
on small tracts of land and intensive
principles practiced.
While the valley soils are for the
most part retentive of moisture they
are subject to as great variations which
affect the moisture supply as are the hill
soils 1t is true that great crop yields
are reported but in nearly every in
stance it is only of a temporary nature
or in spots supplied by moisture due
to local conditions. The large crop
yields reported could be materially en7
hanced and, made permanent If water
was available when needed. Especially
is this true of the fruits rirening dur
ing July and August. Not only would
the yield be greater but the fruits
larger and more luscious, thereby bene-
fitting the consumer or general public
as we'll as the grower.
On account of the import of the text

ment soil survey is of great value If
for this reason only. Thus, when one

the purchaser who knows nothing of
soil textures (and they are in the ma
jority) should be afforded a means
aside from the government survey
whereby they may know if the character
of the soil is or can be made suitable
to their purpose with the limited amount
of moisture afforded by natural or arti-
fetal means. "E
Climate to Soil Chemistry.
The relation of the climatic conditions
of western Washington to precipitation
affecting the chemistry of the soil is
an advantage to the agriculturist, but
it can be materially increased if irriga-
tion could be afforded to supply mois-
ture at a season of the year when it
would be materially beneficial. AS the
more Perfect process of decomposition
of the soil particles is afforded by the
combined action Of proper temperature
and moisture it will be readily under
stood why water is essential during the
summer at a time when precipitation is
lacking.
The uniform mild day temperature
of the fall weather is an advantage to
vegetable growth to supply humus mat
ter to the soil, but the night tempera-
ture and cloudy days not being so con-
ducive to vegetative growth it counter
acts the influence of the day tempera-
ture and the result is that the fall vege-
table growth is not sufficiently devel-
oped to produce maximum crops Of hu-
mus for early spring plowing, and if
the farmer desires a greater crop of or
ganic matter, then he must delay plow-
ing under the crop until late spring,
which is not the best mode of procedure
to carry out the best intense practice
for the good of soil or the plants to be
benefited by it.
The earlier in spring the crop can be
plowed under, the better, and late fall
would be even better practice as soil
acidity would be avoided and the me-
chanical and physical condition of the
soil bettered to liberate plant food and
conserve moisture I will cite an ex-
ample to better illustrate this import
ant point The commercial development
of the bramble fruit industry of west
ern Washington has reached a point
where every effort must be made to
practice intensive principles or the pro-
fits of the business will rapidly de-
cline. Some method must be pursued
to keep the soil in good physical con-
dition, not only from a hygenic stand
point but to furnish plant food and act
as a medium to retain moisture.
Because Of the lack of such practice
the yield is decreasing and the fruit
soft for distance shipment. Especially
should your attention be drawn to the
fact that this industry is carried on in
the fertile valley soils and represents
the best type. Irrigation would allevi-
ate the above condition because it would
afford moisture to germinate spring
vetch or other seed which, if sown
early enough in the fall, would afford
ample growth to be plowed under in
early spring or during a convenient
period in winter. The same holds true
with orchard practice and for the dairy
man it would act as a solution to the
problem Of summer forage for the cows.

IGNORED CHARTER
IN MAKING BUDGET
Finance Committee, However.
Merely Followed Long Es-
tablislled Precedent.

According to n statement made yester-
day. Mr.. Charles v. Meredith, acting for
City Attorney Pollard has notified the
Councils Special Investigating Com
mittce that the Finance Committee IN
making up the budget has not fol-
lowed the law as laid down In the
city charter. This is the most inter-
estins fact which has come to light
in connection with the charges OF the
Mayor. although Mr.. Meredith has
found, it is claimed. that tho present
committee was merely guided by a
precedent OF long standing. In other
words, II has adopted the method used
by It's predecessors.
Not Clearly Understood.
So much has been said and printed
about the differences between the
Mayor and the Finance Committee that
one or two points in the controversy
have not been clearly understood. In
the first place the Mayor wanted to
know in an official way IL the Finance
Committee had proceeded according to
the charter in making out the burget.
The charter provides that the Audi
tor shall annually submit to City
Council Il report giving an estimate
of the necessary amount to defray the
expenses of the government for the
fiscal year. The heads of the various
departments are required to show
what they will need for improve
ments and the Ike. The income OF
the previous year must be included
so that Council may more thoroughly
understand the financial conditions of
the city.
After the Mayor had charged that

mittee in turn wanted to know why
the Mayor had destroyed bonds aggre-
eating s175.o00. and why the Auditor
had sold bonds without proper au-
thority. The bonds burned We're Inn

made to that effect.

ing due to confusion and misunder-
standing as to authority.
The Investigating Committee has
prepared rough draft of its report,
which Will be put into more definite
form tomorrow night. It will go to
Council next week. 1t Is said that the
report will contain bare statement
OF facts. without censure for the
Mayor or the Finance Committee.
