DEATH OF DANIEL MYERS

Daniel Meyers, a pioneer of the
Palouse counry, died at the home of
his son, N. C. Myers, on the home-
stead near Wawawai, Sunday, March
10th, old age being the cause of his
taking off, he having lived six years
more than mans allotted time.
The deceased was one of those hardy
pioneers who made the long overland
journey to the then new but alluring
west, the call of the western land of
promise causing him to leave Somer-
set countp. renn., where. he was born
on January 20, 1880. he first going to
Iowa in 1851. In this state he was
married three years later to Miss
Matilda Bearly, and with his young
wife soon emigrated to Missouri. In
1860 he settled in Republic county,
Kansas, where his wife died in 1870.
leaving four children, one son and
three daughters, all of whom still
survive. In ss1S75 Mr.. Meyers left
Kansas for Nebraska, two years later
starting out with his two youngest
daughters and son, N. C. Myers and
family, on the long trail to the then
territory of Washington, arriving in
Colfax on September 18th, after being
three months on the road, since which
time he had made his home on the
farm where death at last claimed
him. The deceased was always strong
and active filled with the indomit-
able spirit of the man of the west,
and enjoyed vigorous old age up to
a few months ago. He had been
christian for the past 25 years, being
a member of the First Day Adventist
church. He leaves two brothers and
three sisters. besides one son, N. C.
Meyers, of near Pullman, and three
daughters, Mrs. James Mittan, of
Norton, Kansas; Mrs. Henry Rice and
Mrs. jeremiah Clark of Kelowna,
B. C. There are % grand children
and 10 great grand children.
The funeral services were held
Wednesday. conducted by Rev. George
Pickell, interment being in the Ontario
cemetry.

NEW BUILDINGS
FOB THE COLLEGE
Great Appropriation Made for State
I * College by the Legislature.

The friends of the State College are
rejoicing at the liberal provisions
made for its maintenance and upbuld- =
ing by the Legislature, which COM
pleted its labors Thursday night, tn
law making body having given to the
college all that it had asked. even to
the last penny.
The total amount granted by the
Legislature is $555. 754, of which 1922, =
900 is for new buildings and other i'm
provements and $233, 754 for main
tenance. Added to the maintenance
fund is the $145, 600 from the Morrill,,
Hatch and Adams acts of Congress
giving the college approximately $7O0-
900 for use in the next two years.
The new buildings provided for by
the new appropriation are as follows :
Auditorium and library building. to
cost $13O, 900.
Recitation building, to cost $125, 900.
Domestic Science building, $25, 1000.
Farm barn, 1000.
Veterinary hospital, $11 900.
/ Hydraulic laboratory, and laboraory
for testing steam and gasoline en-
gines, $4,000.
For the purchase of more farm
lands, $12, 900 was given.
The maintenance fund is divided in
to $217, ,254 for maintenance proper !;
$40. 900 for farmers institute work !;
Sd, 900 to investigate in cereal and dry
farming, and So, 500 for cooperative
work in irrigation.

WOULD BUILD LINE
OF GRAIu ELEVATORS
1t Elevator Systems Were Inausu-
rated, the Sack Problem
Z Would be Solved.

Farmers interested in grain elevat-
ors are making strong effort to have
the Chicago Milwaukee & st. Paul
erect elevators instead of warehouses
along the line of the proposed road
through the wheat sections of the
state. The railway will probably run
east from Tekoa cutting little to the
south and on to Ellensburg tapping
some of the richest portions of the
Washington wheat belt. If the road
takes up the proposition it will mean
the practical elimination of sacks in
this section and perhaps throughout
the state, as the other roads will then
be forced to come into line with
similar improvements.
The sack problem has always been
a bug-bear to the wheat growers and
relief has been sought before by the
method now proposed, but the rail-
roads have objected to changing grain
handling facilities owing to the ex-
pense involved. 1t is believed that if
the new road will take the step the
other carriers will do the same. The
strongest opposition comes from the
shippers on the coast who have facili-
ties for handling grain in the sack.
The change would mean elevators at
the shipping ports with a consequent
increase in expense in making ar
rangements for the new method.
Professor E. E. Elliot states that
the matter has been taken up with H.
r. Williams, president of the Chicago
Milwaukee & st. Paul road, of Wash
ington. who has it under consideration.
Just what action will be taken is not
yet known as President Williams de-
sired more time and. if possible, a
personal interview with Professor
Elliot, before stating finally what
could be done.

A late act of congress has also in
creased the Morrill, fund from $25, 600
annually to $50, 900, the increase to be
made by $4,000 each year till it reaches
the larger figure, at which it is to
remain permanently.
In placing the new buildings on the
campus, it is proposed to establish a
new quadrangle of buildings to the
eastward of the present one, utilizing
the parade ground for that purpose.
the gymnasium bounding the new
quadrangle on the east.
The auditorium and library build
ing, which will be the most imposing
structure of the group, will be erected
on the present site of old college hall,
the original wooden recitation building,
and will be the central feature of the
architectural plan. 1t is proposed to
have this building summounted by a
magnificent clock tower which will
be in plain view from all parts of
the campus. AS it will be necessary
to have the new recitation building
completed before old college hall can
be torn down. it will probably a year
from this summer before the auditor
ium can be erected. Work on the
other structures will go forward at
once, however.

complete analysis could not be made.
However, in every case but one we
were able to make determination of
the percentage of protein in the grain.
(Proteln is the most important ingredi-
ent of the wheat since it produces the
gluten in the flour, which gives to the
flour it" strength" or expansive power
when made into dough. Protein is
also the most valuable food principle
in wheat and flour). The results of
these determinations were as follows ::
Pullman wheat on Pullman soil at
Pullman, 16. 80 per cent.
Pullman wheat on Ritzville soil at
Pullman, 16.47 per cent.
Ritzville wheat on Pullman soil at
Pullman, 16. l9 per cent.
Ritzville wheat on Ritzville soil at
Pullman. 1912 per cent.
Pullman wheat on Pullman soil at
Ritzville, 22.06 per cent.
Pullman wheat on Ritzville soil at
Ritzville, lost.
Ritzville wheat on Pullman soil at
Ritzville 1887 per cent.
Ritzville wheat on Ritzville soil at
Ritzville, 20.43 per cent.
These results show that last year,
at least. the difference in soil of these
two widely different types did not pro-
duce any regular difference in the
grain. 1t has been supposed. and has
been so stated by some scientific men,
that soils which are lower in humus
and nitrogen will produce lower in
protein. The Ritzville soil is much
lower in nitrogen and humus than the
Pullman soil and should, therefore,
yield wheat conaining less protein.
In two of the three cases in these
samples just the reverse was true.
All the wheats grown at Ritzville were
much higher in protein than those
grown at Pullman. This has been
found to be true in a great many
other samples which have analyzed
from these two localities. but the re-
suits of these tests would seem to
show that this difference is due en-
tirely to differences in climate and not
to differences in soil. The percentage
of protein in all these samples is
about two-thirds greater than it was
in the seed grain, and in other
samples from the same localities the
year before, thus showing the effect
of the hot dry weather during the
ripening of the grain in increasing the
protein content. We believe that the
differences in the amount of this hot
dry weather during harvest are the
cause of the differences in our wheats,
and not the differences in soils upon
which they are grown. We hope to
get final conclusive proof on this
point from this seasons growth of
wheats on these soils.

EFFECT OF SOIL
ON WHEAT QUALITY
Interesting Series of Experiments
Now Being Conducted at the
State College.

There is very common idea that
the quality of grain is greatly in
huenced by the nature of the soil up
on which it grows. This is particu-
larly true in connection with wheat,
because with this crop the quality of
the grain is so variable and its value
for bread-making depends so much up
on the composition of the wheat that
much attention is attracted to these
variations and their causes.
At the Experiment Station we are
endeavoring to discover all the causes
for the variations in the composition
and milling qualities of wheat, in
order to see if we cannot IN some way
control the conditions so as to improve
the quality of our wheats. In this
connection we are carrying on an ex-
pertinent to determine just what effect
differences in soil may have on the
nature of the wheat when all the con-
ditions are the same. For this pur-
pose we have selected soil from Ritz
vile, representing the light, dry-land
type, and soil from Pullman, repre-
senting the heavy Palouse type. Early
inlast spring we transferred about half
ton of each of these soils from one
locality to the other and placed them
in large wooded frames sunk in the
ground alongside of similar frames
containing home soils in each case.
The soils were taken to the depth of
three feet, from their respective To-
calities, and in filling the frames with
the soil which had been transferred
great care was taken to get it back in
the same way that it had laid before,
that is, top soil on top, etc. The
home soil was filled into the frames
in exactly the same way so as to make
all the conditions in each part of soils
exactly the same. The frames were
sunk level with the top of the ground
and had no bottoms in them so that the
soil lay just as it ordinarily does ex-
cept that it was surrounded by a
wooden wall which would prevent the
wheat roots from running from one
kind Of soil over into the other.
One half of the soils thus prepared
was seeded with wheat grown the year
before at Pullman, and the other
wheat of the same variety (Bluestem)
grown at Ritzville, so that we had
Pullman seed sown on both Pullman
and Ritzville soil at Pullman and at
Ritzville, and Ritzville seed sown in
the same way. Unfortunately, the
unusually hot weather during July last
year cut the growth of the wheat very
short, particularly at Ritzville, and
only a small amount of considerably
shrunken wheat was obtained from
each seeding. The same soils will be
seeded in the same way again this
year and if the season is as favorable
as it bids fair to be more satisfactory
and more conclusive results will be
obtained. The amount of wheat OBJ
tanned last year was so small that the
