The Ketchikan miner., 1908-11-07

Experience is said to be a dear school, in which none but a certain class of people can be expected to learn, and to this class the individual who is permitted to air his personal grievances through "this page" of the Juneau Record may fairly be consider ed to belong. In view of the fact, however, that he has entered upon the municipal campaign several months in advance of an election, be is evidently not averse to learning another lesson, such as experience is said to teach. Looking at the matter from this distance, it is fair to assume, too, that the people of the capital city will be found ready to inn part the additional lesson when the proper time arrives.
The Ketchikan miner., 1908-11-07

Tomorrow will serve to show whether indeed there is any efficiency in the prayers of the righteous. For some time past the synods, conferen- ces and other assemblies of the protes. tant churches have been passing reso-
 utions and personally urging thelr fol- lowers to join in determined effort to defeat Speaker Cannon. On the other hand, Mir. Cannon claims to have his own followers we'll in hand, and declares himself sure of re-elec- tion to congress from the Danyille district, and predicts his reelection to the speakership. If, indeed, Mir. Cannon should succeed in carrying his district, his reelection as speaker will be almost certain to follow, in case his party retains the ascendency in the House, notwithstanding a num- Der of Republican candidates have pledged themselves to vote against him. If the Republicans hold their present majority in the House of Rep resentatives, and Mir. Cannon is re- elected from his district, caucus nomination will precede the election of speaker, and the choice of the caucus, and the House as well, will be more than likely to fall upon Mir. Cannon.

Senator Stevenson, of Wisconsin, is quoted as estimating the value of
 timber destroyed by the recent forest fires at sl0O, 900, 900, and, having
 been in the lumber business all his life, may be accepted as very good authority. The Senator thinks that this value cannot be replaced by re- planting, within the life of any of the people now living. for the reason that pine and kindred trees cannot be made to grow in the middle and northwestern states, and he thinks that the time is close at hand when the pine and spruce of this country will all be gone. Then, he says, we will have to go to Canada for our lumber and pulp wood, particularly the latter. It should, therefore, sur prise DO one to learn that the Senator is convert to the forest protection policy of the government, and has no hesitation in declaring himself in fa- vor of taking the tariff off lum Der and pulp wood and placing them on the free list. In view of the fact that the Senator has been a direct bene ficiary of the protective tariff, and owes all his many millions to his indirect part nership with the government, this conversion looks very much like a death bed repentance on his part or, rather, we might say, like determi-

Should this prove favorable season
for it's growth, Washington will pro-
duce more corn than ever before In
it's history. This is due largely to the
work of the Washington State College
Experiment Station, and is a direct
result of the wheat demonstration
train run recently. A number of SAM
nles of corn grown at the college farm
were taken with the exhibition car
and shown to the farmers, who were
urged to raise corn and other crops
on the land they would otherwise sum-
mer-fallow. It was shown that this
corn can be grown successfully ana
at a. profit and that wheat grown on
the land the next season produces
equally as we'll or better than that
crown Oh summer-fallow. The col
lege offered a bushel of this corn for
seed TO any man who would plant IL
and cultivate it according to directions
given by the experiment station stall
Many applications for seed were re-
ceived, and every mail brought more

SUNNYSIDE ALFALFA.

A popular magazine had nne
story recently by a popular writer IN
which a. wrong cut was used TO H.
lustrate alfalfa. The productiveness
of alfalfa is we'll known. That sunny
side is excelled nowhere in alfalfa pro-
duct is no doubt correct, but how
about other grasses? An eastern STOCK
man coming to Sunnyside expressed
surprise that we grow tame grass"
here as he put it. In short, the growth
of timothy, blue grass and orchard
grass, as we'll as red and other cloVers
aside from alfalfa is not generally
known or referred to in information
This story is to call attention to the
wonderful productiveness OF the pas
ture grasses and the great profits IN
the timothy hay product. TWO head
of stock, or ten head of sheep can be
mintained to the acre. 1t is a con-
stant surprise to our visitors to see the
large herds OH the small areas, and
the fine condition in which all stock
is always found. The very highest re-
sults in pasture under irrigation in
the Yakima Valley are secured in the
low level lands surrounding sunny
side. The results secured on seven
acres of timothy land of this class has
welded for the past four years as FOL
lows:
The yield is practically the same
from year to year, being an average
of 27 tons from the seven acres nrst

ting. Prices for the past wour years
net in stack were $3.50, $3.50, $500
and $12.50, an average of $9L97 tor
for first cutting and $500 a ton FOL

WELD per acre for the past four years

MECHANICAL CONDITION or
SOILS ESSENTIAL.

A German publication in discussing
a series of observations on the product
iveness of soils, states that it is SHOWN
that a small amount of silica and CAL
cium carbonate in the soils did not
prevent the plant roots from obtaining
the necessary amounts OF these mate
rails. The so-called silica-loving plants
grew vigorously on weathered dolomlte
rich in lime, provided the porosity OF
the material was similar to that OF the
quartz soils. The so-called lime-loVlng
plants grew badly on calcareous SOIL
which had been rendered very porous
by the addition of quartz. They grew
we'll on a siliceous soil which had been
rendered compact by the addition OF
loan and little calcareous clay.
It seems clear, therefore, that 1t is
mainly the physical and mechanical
properties and not the chemical prop
critics which influence growth and dis
tribution OF plants. The difference in
growth on sandy soils and on calcer-
eous and clay soils depends largely
upon variations in the mechanical con-

The greater portion of the useful
bacteria in the soil, says Prof. Pernot,
of the Oregon Agricultural College,
are found in the upper layers of the
soil because the majority of such bac-
terra require air for their growth. Ere
quent STRINGS of the soil by cultiva-
ton, by admitting the air to the soil
stimulate the growth of these bacteria.
The proper drainage of soil also causes
the air to penetrate deeper than in
undrained land and enables the bac-
terra to thrive further down in the soil.
