passing the virus through the guinea
pigs every week or two, since that
time we have been able to keep the
virus active, and we are expecting. as
soon rs the squirrels appear, to rapidly
pass the virus through squirrels, and
thus get the bacterium to its greatest
virulence. at which time we shall
take it into the field and inoculate the
squirrels, and turn them loose to scat
ter the disease.
We are expecting Mr.. Stanley Piper
from Washington, D. C. in very
short time, who represents the govern
ment in this cooperative work. DR..
W. E. Ralston will do detail work of
the experiments for the Experiment
Station. 1t may be possible that we
will be able to put other experts
in the field to assist in this work.
With our already achieved success in
keeping the virus alive and virulent
during the winter months, we have
great hopes that it will be possible to
distribute this virus very early this
coming season, and save to the wheat
-raisers of Eastern Washington, many
thousands of dollars worth of grain.

ness of the preliminary tillage. Very
foul ground plowed just before seeding
will require an endless amount of cul-
tivation and probably hand wedding
in the hills if a good crop of corn is
to be secured and the ground cleaned
of foul stuff. This entails a heavy
expense that can be largely overcome
by early and thorough working of the
ground and the proper use of the har-
row on the small corn.
The aim in cultivating should be.
Q) to keep a loose blanket of earth
two.to three inches deep on the sur
face formed with as little disturbance
of the soil beneath and left as smooth
as possible on top to reduce the sur
face exposed to evaporation. and
(2) to catch every weed between the
hills. Cultivators with few big
shovels with sharp points should be
avoided as they dig the soil too deep,
leave it too ridged and prune off too
many roots with sharp points. If the
sharp pointed shovel type of cultivator
is used one should be selected with
many small teeth and then be set to
run shallow. However, the long
pointed type of shovels whether large
or small cannot be made to clean out
wild oats completely and catching
every weed without digging deep or
leaving the surface ridged The cult
walton should ordinarily cease by the
time the corn begins to tassel.
Just d word in regard to the seed.
Our fall is frequently so damp here
that the proper curing of seed corn is
quite difficult here and the vitality is
quite liable to be injured either
through molding or through freezing
when damp. Consequently the pur-
chaser is quite likely to pick up some
seed corn of low vitality. AS this
cannot be detected with the eye all
seed corn should be tested. This is
easily accomplished by placing three
or four hundred kernels between moist
blotting papers or in moist cotton and
keeping in warm room three or four
days, care being taken to keep the
seeds moist and to see that the tenn
perature is not too low at night. If
the seed is first-class, ninety-fve or
more kernels of every hundred should
germinate. If the vitality proves to
be poor the amount of seed planted
should be increased accordingly. Pro
vided, of course, that one is obliged
to use The poor seed.

NUMBER II
PRESIDENT BRYAN RETURNS.

'''' i'AN AN hEl u kNS.
President Bryan returned Wednes-
day from an extended trip to the west
side whore he appeared before the
state legislature in behalf of the State
College in the matter of appropria-
tions. The situation for while was
very tense but now the outlook is
promising and assurance is had that
.aiI necessary appropriation measures
now before the legislature will be
passed.
The enemies of the institution have
been very active in circulating rumors
but these rumors have been traced
down to sources which are not consid-
cred responsible. One legislator ap-
preached the president and asked if it
was not true that the college students
were principally children from Pull
man and the immediate vicinity.
children averaging thirteen or fourteen
years of age. Doubtless the mind of
this Particular legislator was broaden
ed after his talk with the president.
The incident quoted above was what
really eld the calling of Professors
Waller and Elliot to Olympia. The
lawmakers wanted statistics and data
on the average student age at the
State College. Many of the reports
circulated were trivial in the extreme.
New and strong friends of this in
stitution are now in the present legs-
lative body and the work done here
will not suffer from unwarranted at
tacks made upon it by those ignorant

EVANGELISTIC SERVICES

A series of evangelistic services was
begun at the Methodist Church this
week. These services will continue for
the next two weeks. Rev. c. r.
Haudenschield, of Chicago is here and
is helping in the services. DIR. C. R.
Haudenschild is an evangelist of ma
tional reputation having conducted SER
vices of this kind in nearly every
State in the Union. He is a man of
very pleasant personality with a
powerful voice which he uses very
enthusiastically in leading the sing
ing. He breaches powerfully the
Gospel truth but without the sensa-
tional methods which are sometimes
made use of to attract the curious
crowds. A large chorus choir has
been organized and a great deal of
spirited singing is a feature of the
meetings. Special prayer services
will be held in the church lecture
room every afternoon at three o'clock.
DR.. Haudenschild will preach at
eleven o'clock, at three o'clock, and
at seven thirty in the evening at the
Methodist Church. Every one in Pull
man will be cordially welcomed at
these services.

resolutions We're passed:
Whereas, the location of the State

the part of persons unknown to us and
Whereas, Notwithstanding the honest
efforts on the part Of our legislators

spots within our state,
Therefore, be it resolved that we
pray your Honorable Body to abandon
the present site as a home for the old
Soldiers and provide suitable place,
with such accommodations as will en-
able the old destitute veterans with
their wives to spend their few remain
ing days in peace and comfort.
This was put in petition form and
many of the business men of Pullman
are signing it. Under present laws

wives may accompany their husbands.

WILL DEAL death
TO THE SQUIRRELS
State Veterinarian and Other Ex-
oerts Have Death and Destruc-
ton Bottled Up for the Pests.

Eight or nine years ago the dam
age caused to growing wheat by the
common ground squirrel became such
an important matter that it was taken
up by the W.S.C. Experiment Station
and Professors G. V. Piper and S. B.
Nelson were instructed to determine
if possible, a means of ridding the
country of this pest. After several
years of work on this subject, we had
in our possession disease producing
bacillus, which. when fed to the
squirrel, would cause death within
twenty-four hours, or less. This
virus was quite thoroughly distributed
throughout the counties. of the wheat
producing sections of Eastern Wash
ington, and was especially virulent
to the small squirrel, it really being
a question whether or not the virus
was fatal to the large squirrel.
In the early zoos the squirrel be-
came such a scarce article that the
farmers felt that there was no longer
any necessity for fighting them; and,
consequently, because of the great
difficulty in keeping the germs alive,
the work was dropped by the Expert
ment Station. Some two years ago,
however,, the farmers again began to
write IN their complaints relative to
the financial loss that the squirrels
were causing them by eating off the
growing grain. Last year the United
States Department of Agriculture
offered their services in cooperation
to carry out the details of experiments
continued along the same lines as
those which this station had carried
out in previous years.
Last year s work consisted in taking
the germ, and, by passing it through
live squirrels and also guinea pigs in
order to strengthen its virulence suffi-
GENTLY to make it prove fatal in a
very few hours. These experiments
were discontinued in July and August,
after the virus had been greatly in
creased in strength The reason for
this was that the squirrels had all
begun to hibernate and consequently,
it was impossible for us to obtain
material to work with. However, by

PALACE HOTEL REPAIRED

.. D. Matthews has just finished
repairing the Palace Hotel. Baths,
modern toilets, and hot and cold
water appliances have been installed
on each floor all over the house. This
improvement has been much needed
and is perhaps the result of a suit
against this hotel recently, on the
grounds of unsanitiation. The city of
Pullman was the plaintiff in the above
suit.
