Why This Big Difference?

In discussing the quality of butter
with a salesman who is an old butter
maker he remarked that he had ship
ment of Michigan creamery in that
morning that showed about as fine
body as he ever saw, says writer in
the New York Produce Review. TAX
ing down trier he led the. way. to
the rear of the store and in a minute
was boring tub of butter. A trier
full was handed to me with the request
that I examine it carefully. We put
it to the usual tests to determine the
body and it was as solid and waxy as
any tub of butter that had seen for q
long while. ga fellow can chew that
butter, it's all there" said the sales
man. Nov when you are through
with that trier want to show you an
other lot that came from the same
state but a different section. See
what sloppy piece of butter this is"
as he passed the trier to me. Com
menting further he said: NOW, if one
fellow can make those heavy bodied
goods, so can the other. In a quick
market that slushy kind of stock sells,
but the other always goes. 1t pleases
every buyer who looks at it, and you
can imagine what we think of it when
We keep it for one of the most partic-
ular customers we have"

will reach the markets from this Sec
ton through the Wenatchee gateway
this year. Five hundred thousand bu-
shells will be hauled in Wenatchee
in wagons alone, and tremendous
amounts will be shipped down the
Columbia river in steamships.
One thing which was especially en-
phasized by the farmers was the need
of farm hands to harvest this tremend-
Gus wheat crop. The labor question
will be very serious one unless there
is tremendous inuux of farm laborers
for while the farmers in that section
use the most modern and up to date
machinery, they have not at present
men to operate 1t, and will need hun
dreds of farm hands to assist in the
work They appreciate that good
wages will be necessary to induce Ia
borers to take up this work, but they
are willing to pay the price If they
can get the men.
With the great amount of wheat
which will be shipped down the Col
umbia river this year through the We
natchee gateway, the Columbia and
Okanogan steamship line will be taxed
to the utmost capacity, but they are
making provision for extra equipment
and will be in shape to take care of
these heavy grain shipments in fairly
good shape. Their new steamer, COX
anogan," the largest on the upper riv-
er, Is just being completed and they
are negotiating for two other large
boats to add to the present equip
ment.
The Big Bend country is rapidly be-
coming one of the most important and
prolific wheat-growing sections of the
world. The great crop of the present
year will add to it's precedence. Within
another year the great Colville Indian
reservation, comprising nearly two mil
lion acres, will be thrown open ,ac-
cording to statement recently made
by Land Commissioner R. A. Ballinger,
and thus tremendous tract of fine
new wheat land will be added to the
total grain-growing area of this Sec
ton. The south half of this reserva-
ton contains at least 100000 acres of
the finest wheat lands in the state, the
kind of land that is known as "30-bush-
ell land" as rich and as we'll watered
as any of the lands in the state In
this way, within very short time
over a million and half bushels will
be added to the annual wheat crop of
the Big Bend.

Succotash for the Cows.

One of the best hays for dairy pur-
poses is made from oats cut before
fully ripe or better still cut from
mixture Of oats and wheat. This is
sometimes called succotash and in many
sections of the west is sowed especially
for roughness for dairy cows. The mix
ture generally sowed in one bushel of
oats and half bushel of wheat to the
acre but in this springs sowing we
would use the winter variety of wheat
for it grows more rapidly and makes
better hay. Some people SOW bushel
of oats, a peck of wheat and peck of
beadless barley to the acre. This mix
ture may yet be sown in season as
late as this. The crop should be cut
just about the time the grains are in
the dough. If the wheat and barley
are sown with the oats, the latter
should be taken as the criterion as to
when the hay should be cut, for 1t
ripens before the oats. When 1t is in
the dough the oats will be in bloom

success. They pay considerable at

are very anxious to secure all farmers
accounts possible, and promise the
best attention and most courteous
treatment to patrons of this sort.
A. H, Soelberg, the vice-president
and cashier of the State Bank, is one

a representative of The Ranch, who
recently drove across country from
Brewster to Wenatchee to look into
crop conditions.
Grain conditions in the Big Bend
country this year have been almost
perfect and this circumstance, together
with the fact that a very large new
area was planted in wheat and oats
and barley, will contribute in making
the grain crop of this section of the
Big Bend twice as large as it ever was
before. Most of this grain will be
wheat. 1t is conservatively estimated
that over 100000 bushels of grain

The Ranch desires to call attention
to the wonderful growth of the State
Bank of Seattle, one of our advertisers
soliciting the business of the farmers
of the Pacific northwest. This bank
was organized July "a, 1905, by A. H.
Soelberg, John Erickson and e. L..
Grondahl, the present officers of the
bank, and although it has been in ex-
istence for only two years it is now
one of the important banking institu-
tions of the city of Seattle and one
of the soundest financial institutions
in the northwest. One month after
this bank was organized the deposits
were $141,524.51. By November g.,

Bumper Wheat Crop in Big Bend.

In that section of the Big Bend coun-
try between Brewster, in Okanogan
county on the north, and Wenatchee,
on the south, there will be the largest
wheat crop that was ever harvested in
the history of the state. In fact, so
ideal are the weather and grain condi-
lions in that section at the present
time that farmers do not hesitate to
state that the harvest will be one hun
dred per cent larger than it ever was
before.
These are conditions discovered in
this great wheat and grain country by

these deposits had more than doubled.
BY April 6, 1906, they had doubled
again and were very close to the half
a million dollar mark. Since that
time they have been on the constant
increase, until May 20, 1907, when the
last statement was issued, the deposits
of the State Bank of Seattle were
1,O1O,051.93. The State Bank is con-
sentative banking institution and in
