MERCHANTS AND FAIR.

The Business Mems association is
taking a good step. which is meeting
with the hearty approval Of the mer-
chants OF the city, in raising a spec
ial fund of $1,000 for special awards
in the horticultural department. This
large amount will go to other coun-
ties than Yakima and is large enough
to warrant earnest competition by the
many fruit growing sections of the
state.
The business men are showing a
commendable spirit in raising this
fund. The state fair is an important
institution 10 North Yakima and the

WHEAT MARVEL.
10000 Ears From n Single Grain-A
Simple Plan.

An experiment in wheat growing,
of great originality and much prom
Use, is being made in Russia. Some
very astounding results have already
been secured, and Russian expert
mentors believe not only that the
yield win be immensely increased,
but that certain corn crops may be
made perennial.
The experiment consists solely in
the manner of cultivation. The au-
thor of the new method is General
Levitsky. who began his experiments
last August in a little model farm
adjoining his barracks. His plan is
simple. He sows single grains of
wheat at the bottom of conica pits
foot to a foot and a half deep. As
the grain, thus sown in the apex of
the pit, begins to appear above the
surface it is earthed over, and each
time the leaf appears more earth is
filled in till after. say. five or six
earthings the pit is full and level with
the surface.
The result of this treatment is that
the plant. which has a branching
knot" at the base of the original stem
and of each new stem, sends out a
number of new shoots at each earth
ing. 1t is asserted in a letter to the
Novoe Vremyo that one grain treat
ed in this way sent up 1868 shoots.
The stray seems to be unusually
stout, the yield enormous. and Cen
eral Levitsky believes that the plant
will be perennial.
That. however, is still a matter of
conjecture. The world will be in
credulous, though a perennial wheat
is not necessarily improbable If it
should be true, the discovery would,
of course. be revolutionary
Apart from this, General Levitsky
has done enough to show that the
small farmer. at any rate. may bene-
fit enormously by getting the wheat
to tiller out in this way. instead of
preventing this natural process by
close sowing; and it is worth notice
that Prince Kropotkin, the pioneer of
intensive cultivation in England.
years ago prophesied that the pres
ent methods of growing wheat would
be given up; and he published photo
graphs of wheat plants showing many
hundred stems from a single grain

SPRINKLING Is GOOD THING.

The city council .'.arted the street
sprinklers to going in the business
district Monday morning. It was a
good plan and step that is appre-
ciated. The couneilmen should take
one more step that is generally de-
handed. and demanded with good
cause. The residence section should
be sprinkled and the homes of North
Yakima protected against the great
est devastator of personal property
dust. \ comparatively small expen-
dfture will save thousands of dollars
worth of furnishings. clothing and
personal property. and also give rea-
sanab.e comfort TO the people of the
city.

RACE TO MUSIC.
MUSIC 4 FEATURE
AT THE STATE FAIR
Management Has Engaged Three
Musical Organizations for
Week.

All the racing this year at the
state fair will be to music and music
of a very hign order. The state fair
management has engaged for the
week the Nagler band of North Yaki-
ma, the Nagler Baby band of this
city, and the famous Cornet band Of
Sumner. This latter organization is
a highly popular one in Tacoma and
Seattle and plays so many engage
ments that it is busy practically all
the time. The management of the
fair has been in communication with
il for some time but only learned
Saturday that it would be available
for the amusement here this fall.
Reports from other cities where
it has shown are to the effect that the
famous Pain fireworks aggregation
will be the best thing in the way of
a specially which has ever been seeen
here. The presentation represents
the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius and the
destruction of the beautiful city of
Naples. To obtain the required effect
is a monumental undertaking. A
stage several hundred feet in length
is used and over $50 performers are
SHOWN. 1ney are introduced uuflHS
fete day at Naples, which gives the
opportunity for the Introduction OF
varied vaudeville program. includ-
ing acrobatics, dancing by artists of
skill, one of the number being lady
who was premier dansueuse at the
Pan American exposition at Buffalo.
During the amusement the city first
becomes acquainted with the trouble
at Vesuyius. The throng about the
king, queen, prelates and others be-
comes excited thunder is heard and
smoke appears followed rapidly by
an outburst and then the destruction
of the city. AS a display OF fireworks
it certainly is superior to anything
any but a few residents of this city
have ever seen.
The state fair management is In
doubt as to the best course to pursue
with regard to the various state So
cieties and is willing to receive sug-
gestions. A banner has been offered
for the society having the largest reg
istration at the fair. Whether to
award this for the largest registra-
ton throughout the fair or to give it
as the prize for one particular day
is the point. IL is thought that the
