Washington and Its Resources.

Aspecial illustrated magazine entitled
Prosperous Washington and Its Re-
sources" has just been issued by the
Seattle Post-Inteligencer. The mag
azine is by far the handsomest and
most comprehensive work of its kind
ever issued in the Northwest, being a
complete review of the various indus
tries and resources of the state,
descriptive articles of cities and the
unlimited advantages offered those who
desire to seek home in this great and
prosperous state.
The magazine consists of 100 pages,
with cover pages in colors. The first
cover page is a special design in fine
colors, and is specimen of highest art.
The book is printed on high-quality
book paper made especially to order
for this edition. The descriptive mat
ter is accompanied by over $50 new and
attractive illustrations and in mechanical
and typographical appearance the book
is equal to the best work produced on
the largest metropolitan magazines.
The compilation of this magazine has
been in progress by the Post Intelligent
Ger for several months and everything
pertaining to the progress and develop
ment of Washington-her industries
mining, agriculture, manufacturing,
etc. and to her cities, is covered
thoroughly and in detail. To the bust
ness interests of the state and the
various cities it will prove a most
valuable work.
Among the contributors to the maya
zine are Gov. Albert E. Mead, j. c.
Rathbun, Sam H. Nichols, Sec'y of
state; ex-Gov. John H. McGraw, Will
liam Hickman Moore, Mayor of Seattle,
and many other prominent business and
professional men of the state. The
price of the magazine is 25 cents.

Successful Farmer Says Rotation
of Crops Will Be Salvation Of
Big Bend Farmers.

Ed. Cooley, a farmer and land owner
residing five miles south:of Harrington,
says the correspondent to the Spokes-
man-Review, expresses interesting
views on diversified farming in the Big
Bend. He was raised in Indiana,
was in Iowa when wheat was the main
crop raised and spent Is years in the
Willamette valley, therefore can be
quoted as an authority, especially as he
made money while many other farmers
eked out bare existence.
1t is Mr.. Gooley's opinion, substan-
tiated by actual experience, that wheat
alone can not be depended upon as a
sure means of profit in the Big
Bend country, but that diversified
farming must take its place. To this
end he has been making some expert
ments and expects to keep on expert
menting until he satisfies himself as to
the accuracy of his assertions. Last
year he has tried alfalfa and corn with
out irrigation and finds that both do
we'll here. The alfalfa yielded nearly
two tons to the acre for each of two
cuttings, and the corn, while not so pro-
life as in the central west, produced
splendid ears and matured so that
stock of all kinds relish it, especially
hogs. In 1907 he will try vetch and
bronze grass as an experiment, giving
them the same amount of culture and
care which they receive where profit
is made from raising them.
Mr.. Cooley contends that farming on
large scale in this country will event.
ually let the noxious weeds get such a
foothold that nothing else can grow.
The practice of letting one-half of the
land lie idle as summer fallow on which
all these weeds flourish and go to seed,
still further propagating them can not,
he believes, help but bring disaster.
The soil substance required to grow the
weeds might just as well be used for
the profit of the owner by rotation of
crops. The land in wheat this year can
be used next for corn, potatoes or some
nurse" crop, which, if titled properly,
will enable the land to raise much
better crop of wheat the following
year than when left standing idle. In
cultivating this otherwise useless land
the weeds are destroyed and in very
few years they will disappear altogeth-
err, while the land is bringing in some
thing of value to the farmer, or at
least enough to fully recompense him
for his labor, to say nothing of recla-
nation from the weed pest. He says
that when the farmers come to realize
that they can make as much or more
profit off 100 acres by crop rotation
than they can off of 800 acres by pres
ent methods they will all adopt it and
be better for doing so.

High School Notes.

1t is hoped by the student body
that the spelling reform will not

A Literary So iety will be started at

Prof. Taylor while visiting the coast
cities during the holidays witnessed the

Chicago High schools.
A. P. Casey, former instructor of
science in the High school but now a

High school was called again Monday,
JAM 6, with an attendance slightly
smaller than before Christmas. Some
two or three not returning after the
holidays.
The debate Monday night was well
attended and the following question
was discussed: Resolved, that the
U. S. Government should own and
operate the main lines and have control
over all railroads in the United States. -
The affirmative won.
The senior class have elected Paul
Fowler editor and Otis Fletcher bus
mess manager of their Annual which

to any Annual ever gotten out by any
class in the Ritzville High School.

Wheat Convention at Pullman.

The production Of wheat is the lead
ing industry of Washington; in the east
ern part of the state it overshadows
everything else. When it's great i'm
portance is considered one cannot help
being impressed by it. A vast deal of
land is devoted to it's production, the
entire population is more or less direct
ly dependent on the annual harvests,
while the surplus added to the total
wealth of the state is enormous.
In view of these facts the holding of
the second annual wheat convention
is an event of supreme Importance.
The program being prepared is even
better than last years and ought to
hold the interest of those in attend
ance. Mr.. R. B. Miller, Gen. Freight
Agent of the o. R. & NJ, will discuss
problems of industrial development
from the railroad point of view. Hon.
j. W. Arrasmith, state grain inspector
will suggest remedies for the intolei-
able grain situation. Mr.. Samuel
Glasgow will speak from observations
made on his recent travels, of our
oriental trade; Orno Strong, editor of
the West Coast Trade, will review the
industry for the past year. Perhaps
the most important speaker will be
Mr.. H. W. Campbell, of Lincoln Neb.,
the advocate of the scientific system
of soil culture for dry lands. Mr..
Campbell is being brought out at heavy
expense to the association to talk dry
land farming. Wherever his system
has been adopted, as it has been in
Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado, Won
derful results have been secured, even
on the lands having no more than 10
inches of rainfall. In addition to these,
speakers from the state experiment
station will discuss the scientific aspects
of wheat production and practical farm
ers from all over the state will handle
the many topics of direct interest to
everyone. Every wheat grower in the
state ought to attend. Don't forget
the dates, January 9, 10 and IL. Buy
one way ticket to Pullman and be
sure to get certificate from the agent
so as to get the benefit of the reduced
rate on the return. Get the receipt
whether you use it or not.
