HYBRID WHEAT HAS
BEEN MADE SUCCESS

LA CROSSE, Wash, jan. % In
1903 an experiment was begun at
Washington State college to combine
hybridiZed Turkey Red wheat and
Bluestem to grow winter wheat
which would lack the boards of the
Turkey Red and possess an attractive
quality as winter variety. Bluestem
Is valuable as winter wheat, but is
not we'll adapted for fall sowing. The
state college experiment station now
believes it has succeeded and that this
hybrid variety will be winner. The
straw grown favors the Bluestem,
while the leaf formation is like the
Turkey Red. No definite results are
obtainable until the second years
growth after the cross has been made.
Since the first cross was made in 1903
the station staff has selected the plants
that possessed the characteristics of
the desired hybrid. The first year only
IL or 13 perfect plants were obtained
but last season nearly $4,000 were
grown

INCORPORATE
POULTRY ASSN
Movement to Place Organize
iQn on firmer Footing

Steps are being taken by officials
of the Walla Walla Poultry and Live
Stock association whereby the organ
ization may be incorporated and placed
upon a more solid financial basis. and
to permit of donations being made by
the county commissioners in accord
ance with the law which prohibits do
nations TO any organization Of like
character, except it be incorporated
under the laws of the state of Wash
ngton.
While the present show in Armory
hall has prevented any of those inter-
ested from taking active steps toward
Incorporating, movement was set on
foot this morning by an announce
ment made by Assistant Secretary JUL
ius Levy to the effect that the associ-
alton was to be incorporated. with
200 shares to be sold at $500 each.
About a dozen shares were pledged
this morning but after the show. can
vass of those interested in poultry
raising will be made, and it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that every share will
be disposed of at once. Articles Of in
corporation are to be drawn up and
new officers elected for the ensuing
year.
The movement having as its corsum
nation the incorporation of the poul-
try association was first brought about
by the failure of. a bill introduced at
Olympia by Representative Mcdonald
last year, providing that the commits
sioners might donate to the poultry
association sum equal to certain
percentage of the county's taxes, the
objection to the measure having been
that the statutes prohibited such dona-
tions, except to incorporated bodies.
AS soon as the articles of incorpora-
tion have been filed with the state
auditor, the association will draw up
another measure for introduction at
the state capital and it is thought
there will then be no discrepancies to
prevent favorable acton thereon.
