Some More Big Potatoes.

w. Palmer, of Drayton, is entitled
to the blue ribbon this year for the
largest potato so far brought to the
Journal office. On Wednesday, MI.
Palmer placed in one of our windows
two French Perfection spuds whose
combined weight totals just six pounds
One of the potatoes weighs "a pounds.
while the other tips the scales at one
half pound more. Mr.. Palmer raised
fifteen sacks of these big fellows on
small tract of gravelly beach land just
under the Drayton bluff. There was
no special effort made to grow record
breaking spuds, and the crop was han
died in the usual way. Barn manure
was scattered over the ground, plowed
under, and the seed planted under the
usual conditions, and the result goes
to show that farming the land near
Blaine is profitable business.-Blaine

TREMENDOUS GROWTH OF MIL
wAUKEE CONCERN.
Mayer Boot and Shoe Company, Of Mil
waukee with Pacific Coast Branch at
Seattle, One Of Largest Concerns in
.A~xy

Seattle, One OF Largest concerns IN
Country.
Milwaukee can be proud to be the
home of the Mayer Boot and Shoe Com
pany. Next to the fame of Milwaukee's
great breWerieS comes the countrywide
reputation of Mayer boots and shoes.
MAYER shoes have won their reputation
on quality. The Mayer Boot and Shoe
Company has persistently refused to
lower quality to enable 1T to sell shoes
at a lower price, and by maintaining this
honest and superior quality and keeping
in the front ranks in style, 1T has grad
ually won the confidence of thousands or
shoe wearers who purchase Mayer-made
shoes year after year-who look at the
MAYER trademark as positive evidence
of style, comfort, and good wearing
quality.
This quality policy so consistently
pursued has resulted in healthful and
since the Mayer Shoe Company began
operations it has outgrown six factories.
And in the last six months. during which
the last factory annex in Milwaukee has
been building. the volume of business
has so greatly increased that even with
this new annex the output lags far be-
hind the demand.
Including the new Seattle factory,
which has just been completed, the total
capacity of the Mayer Boot and Shoe
Company exceeds 5000 pairs a day. This
remarkable output, together with the in
ability of the Mayer Company to build
factories fast enough to keep pace with
the demand, is most convincing evidence
of the high quality of Mayer footwear.
In the first place the Mayer shoes are
sensible. While good style is an import
ant factor. comfort is always a greater
considera ton; while conspicuous ex-
tremes are avoided. refined dressness is
always secured. The exceptional dura
bility and splendid wearing quality of
Mayer shoes are due to the use of only
the best leather and the employment of
only the most experienced and skillful
workmen. From the wide range of styles
you are certain to find one which pleases.
The best known brands are the Honor
bilt' fine shoe for men: the Leading
Lady" fine shoes: the Martha Wash
ington" Comfort Shoes: Special Merit"
school shoes. and the "Yerma" cushion
shoes. If you want dress shoe. work
shoe, or shoe dressy enough for gen.
eral use, yet sturdy enough for rough
usage, it is our belief that you can't do
better than to ask your dealer to sup
ply you with one of the Mayer brands.

WHAT PACIFIC COAST
LAND WILL DO

versified crops. 1t means better roads
for marketing the farm products. 1t
means improved methods in every de-
populated district of agriculture. With
plenty of water for irrigation, and the
best soil and climate conditions, there
is no reason why the fruit growers of
Kittitas should not come to the front
as prominently as their neighbors in
the Yakima and Wenatchee valleys.
The age of experimenting In fruit
growing in that section has passed to
a stage of certainty. Big shipments
are now being made to the fruit mar
kets of the world.
Kittitas is great hay district Land
produces annual profit of $40 to $40
an acre when planted to timothy and
alfalfa. That revenue has been sut-
ficient in the past to make many
wealthy men in the county of Kittitas.
But the value of the land is now too
great to hold for income of $40 an
acre from hay When apples give re-
turns that range ten times as much as
hay. it is time to devote more acres
to apples. Then there are other fruits
that have proven financially profitable
in the Kittitas valley. 1t is a good
move on the part of the land owners
and buyers to change the conditions
and get more homes established. IL
will increase the business interests OF
the city and enhance the value OF sur
rounding farming lands.-P.-l.

DIVIDING the Hay Meadows.

The Ellensburg Localizer announces
the beginning of new era in farm
ing the lands of Kittitas valley. One
of the big hay meadows is being di-
vided into small tracts, containing five
to ten acres each, for the purpose OF
converting the country into orchards:
This is done to meet the great demand
for homes and orchards in the rich irrl-
gated valley of Kittitas. Several sales
have been made, and the remainder OF
the tract, it is stated, will go at once
to future builders of small homes and
farms. 1t is the plan of those purchas-
ing the tracts to plant the hardy fruits
and adopt modern systems of intensive
cultivation of the soil.
Dividing the hay meadows OF kitti'
tas is an important move for better
advantages in developing the country.
It means more families to produce d.

Results From Mixed Farming.

Timothy Newell demonstrated this
year the advantages of diversified
farming He has only $50 acres OF
farm land, but he raises little or
everything that is adapted to tenn
perate zone A part of his crop con-
sisted of seventy-seven acres of bar
ley, which cost him about $500 to har-
vest, leaving him but small margin
for profit. He found much more profit
in garden products, fruit and hogs.
Four hundred dollars worth of hogs
were sold during the year, that were
raised at the expense of a few acres
of corn-a much greater profit than
could have been made off of barley or
wheat from the same ground. Mr..
Newell has a fine crop of beans this
season, that he expects a considerable
return from, as we'll as other vege-
tables and fruit. The gross receipts
from the products sold thus far have
been 2,OO0.-Dayton Dispatch.

Alfalfa is generally supposed to be
