Fine Wheat.

Bud Humphrey, living three miles
south of Troy, brought sample Of the
wheat he raises to the News Office this
week. 1t is the prize Winner var
iety, and the name certainly is appro-
pirate, if it all grows like the sample
which Mr.. Humphrey brought us. He
says that the whole field is uniform in
height, and that the yield will be ex-
tremely large. While the wheat is
now only in bloom, the sample meas
ured five feet, ten inch, and by the
time the crop is ready to harvest it will
have grown at least four inches more.
This is fall wheat and was raised on
land where he had corn planted last
year. This shows what can be raised
in the Potlatch country, which is COM
ing to the front as the best farming
country in the western hemisphere
Mr.. Humphrey is one Of our most
practical farmers.

Effect Of the Intsrurban

The Palouse country was pretty we'll
fixed for transportation with the North
ern Pacific and 0. R. & N. and their
branch roads before the electric road
was built, but since the Inland has
built through that country the price Of
real estate all along this line has ad.
vanced from ten to twenty-five dollars
per acre, and it has not only advanced
in the asking price but those who wan
to sell are actually selling at these fig
ures.-Nez Perez Herald.

Spokane Fair Is Liberal.

The premium list of the Spokane
Interstate fair, which is now being dis
tributed, is far more liberal than ever,
and also shows number of very i'm
purtant changes in classiications.
About SIS, 900 is offered in premiums,
and the same amount for purses. The
fruit and grain prizes are the largest
offered by any fair in the United
States, as they aggregate about 81, 900,
including fruit display prize Of $1,000
and three other prizes averaging $500
each. Considering these remarkably
generous prizes, it seems STANCE to us
that more growers in this section do
not send in an exhibit to this fair.
Even small plate exhibit stands a
chance to win considerable money, as
|N.sO is given for best plates of each
o. the standard varieties. Anyone

Utilizing a Brewery.

AS a result Of the vote in favor Of
prohibition in recent election held at
La Grande, Ore, the brewery in that
town, one Of the largest plants Of the
kind in Eastern Oregon, is to be shut
down permanently on July /, and to be
converted into fruit packing estab-
lishment, for the purpose Of which some
of the existing machinery and equip
ment can be proftably used.
In small way, this disposition Of the
brewery property offers showing in
answer to the question which is asked:
What is going to become of the capital
invested aud the men employed in es-
adjustments like this, should the pro-
hibition sentiment extend so rapidly
and so far as to compel the closing up
of industries like breweries and distil-
leries? AS fruit canning establish
ment it is fairly apparent that the La
Grande establishment will afford pro-
ducers better market for raw ma
terials than when it was conducted as
brewery. 1t will also, in all probabil-
ity, furnish employment to as many
men and have as large pay roll undel
the new conditions as under the old
AS to the relative value Of the product
in itself and in the uses to which it vii
be put, few will be found to argue tina
the great margin does not lie with the
cannery as against the brewery. Seat

roc or MAcADAM ROAD.
Motor Vehicle Sweeps Roadway Of
Dust Needed for Binder.

At the present time the worst foe oil
the macadam road is, perhaps, its
most ardent advocate-the motor We
hicle. The steel wheels of the or
binary vehicle grind off sufficient
powder from the stones to serve as a
binder, replacing the binding material
blown away by winds or washed OFF by
rains. 1t is usually possible when the
binder becomes deficient and the
stones in the upper course begin to
appear and the surface grows rough.
to spread little coarse sand in the
center of the macadam road. The sand
is soon spread by traffic over the great
er portion OF the width Of the macad,
am. 1t relieves the roughness and
keeps the stones from travelling. This
practice has been followed In many
sections for years. But the swiftly.
moving motor car of the present day
has introduced a new problem into
road maintenance. The large rubber
pear to exert a suction on the binder
of the road The vacuum caused by
the vehicle moving rapidly over the
road lifts the dust into the air In
clouds and it is blown away into the
fields.
Various substances are being ex.
perimented with for application to
road surfaces to lessen or obviate this
evil. Coal tar and oils with an as.
| phaltic base seem to give the best re
suits. In France tar has been used for
several years, it is said, most salts

such application not only will the
roads be saved from denudation by

decay too quickly. Build them as
shown in Fig. / with a slight slope of

not put a board floor directly upon
the ground, but raise it sufficiently SO
that it will be dry underneath, al
though not exposed to the outside air,

more of the valuable manure, make

Moral Effects of Athletics.

Aside from It's physical effect, the
moral effect of athletics, In the case
of the soldier at least. is of no small
value My experience has been that
men are less likely to drink in the
football or baseball season, even
though they may be addicted to the
use of intoxicants. And thus no spe-
cial effort may have been made along
these lines by those in charge of the
sports. The class Of men who go
in for athletics and excel In such
cot tests are the most desirable sol
diers and the best all around men.
Still another advantage of athletics
is that good athletic teams and the
reputation for post of having cham
pion teams draw good recruits and
soldiers to enlist there.-Army and

this to A on the evener, using light
whiffie trees for the lead team.
1t is desirable to use three-horse
evener for the wheelers; have a hole
for the clevis in the center of the
evener and the center horse will pull
against the outside ones. Such an
evener may be bought at any imple-
ment house. The clevis connecting this
three-horse evener with the 20-inch
evener at G should be a solid piece
double clevis which will hold the
three-horse evener in place and not
interfere with the chain.
If horses weigh less than 1,400
pounds each it will pay to use five
horses on a gang pillow. With them !
can pillow six acres day easily,
whereas with four it is hard work to
lay over four acres. It is the last
straw that breaks the camePs back
and | am in favor of unloading several
straws.
Another method of using five horses
with two in the lead is as follows:
Make an eyener five feet long, giving
the outside wheeler four feet and one
foot for the two teams that wori
against each other with chain ant

The ground for alfalfa should be

ten inches. Then harrow There Is
no danger of narrowing too much. Best
results are obtained by blowing the
ground in the fall Then as early in
the spring as possible go onto the
ground with disk and disk once each
week or ten days till all danger OF
frost is over, then sow the seed.
If the ground has not been plowed
in the fall, it should be broken up as
early in spring as 1t can be done in
a workmanlike manner. Harrow fre.

alfalfa will be tall and vigorous

his servants would not move or touch

Moisture and Mold Destroy Corn.

The drying of corn for seed involves
but a few simple principles. II the
corn is to be exposed to a freezing
temperature, 1t must be dried out suf.
ficiently so that there will not be left
in the germ enough moisture to ex-
pand and rupture the cell walls, when
1t swells in the freezing process. II
it is not to be exposed to freezing
temperature 1t must also be dried
sufficiently to prevent mold starting.
This mold destroys the germ in an
other way, sending its mycelium into
1t to eat through the cell walls and
destroy the very substance.
