Thousands OF race goers who backed the Thanks

son of Hastings refused to leave the post with the
rest OF his field and although Jockey Butler piled
whip and heel with all the vigor Of which he was
capable and the assistant starters likewise used their
whips, his adversaries had gone nearly half mile
before Don Enrique could be induced to bulge out
OF his tracks at the barrier. Meanwhile he stood

BLACK SAND WAS "SALTED".

While explaining TO class in assay
ing the methods for preliminary exam
lnation Of sample, and using as an
illustration, sample received several
days before, consisting mainly Of
magnetic iron sand, the su-callad
bIacksand, Professor Thompson, head
mining professor of the State College,
discovered that the persons who had
sent in the sample had either been de-
ceived themselves, or were trying to
deceive somebody else, with regard to
the value of the mining material in
question
The method of examination used was
to remove all iron with a magnet, and
then inspect the residue with power
ful magnifying tense. TO the aston
lshment of the class and of the in
struetor, this residue showed small,
sharp particles of both gold and sill
yer, the latter being large enough to
give plain evidence of the fact that
they had taken from the edge of
small coin, probably a ten-cent piece.
Many of the small PARTICLES when put
under the glass, showed the small
milling marks. The sample came
from the northern part of the state.
The inference is that someone has
been trying through fraudulent means
to get an assay certificate showing
high values from the college, or have
themselves been deceived. Professor
Thompson refuses to give the name of
the pers on who forwarded the sample.

Experiments in "Dry-Farming"
by Local Station Prove Successful

For the past two years the staff of
the State College Experiment Station
have been carrying on an extensive
line of experimentation with the end
in view of discovering a "dry- farm
ing method, through which the crop
yield of the so called dry sections of
the state and Northwest may be in
creased. The work has been under the
personal supervision of Professor
George Severance. formerly agronom-
ist of the station, and recently pro-
NOTED to the position of head of the
department of agriculture.
The first really definite results from
this experimentation have been OBJ
tained during the past few weeks
through the harvesting of the crops at
the "dry farming" stations in Eastern
Washington. The exact yields cannot
be given until the crops are threshed ;
but its already known that the method
OF farming semi-arid soils advocated
by Professor Severance will in all cases
improve the quality of the cereals
grown, and there is good reason for
believing that the acreage yield has
been increased.
The station staff has not had time
TO develop all the experimentation in

State Berkshire Association Elects
E. A. Bryan, of Pullman, President

Reorganized and strengthened in
membership, the state Berkshire asso-
citation is beginning another years
active work in behalf of the introduce
tion of Berkshire swine in the Pacific
Northwest with hatterirg prospects for
success.
During Interstate Fair week at
Spokane, President Bryan, who for the
past year has been temporary president
of the association, was elected perma-
nent president of the State Berkshire
Association. Mr.. Paul Clagstone. of
Clagstone, Idaho, was elected vice
president and Mr.. J. H. T. Smith,
who at his farm near Pullman has one
of the finest Berkshire herds in the
state, was elected secretary and treas
urer.
The lately chosen directors are DR..

is very promising for the band carni-
val.
The Idaho game. accompanied by
band music made by between two and
three hundred instruments, should GER
tainly wake up the natives. " The
local band, led by Professor Karl Tun-
berg, now comprises twenty-five mem
bers, and is making excellent pro-
gress. The College band, which this
year has something over forty mem
bers, against about thirty for last
year.
Good headway is being made by the
two organizations, and there should be
no lack of music of a most enlivening
kind throughout the coming season of
athletic and political festivities.

STUDENTS TAKE KEEN
INTEREST IN POLITICS
Republicans, Democrats, So
cialists and Prohibitionists
Organize at W.S.C.

Rallies of organizations and cele-
brating expected victories for their re-
spective parties in the coming election
continue among the students of the
State College, and the interest of the
student parties in the political problems
of the hour is rising to pitch that
threatens the integrity of the class
room.
At meeting of the executive COM
mite of the Democrats, Prohibition
lists, Socialists and Republicans, which
occurred Friday afternoon, a definite
plan of action was decided upon, sub
ject to the approval of the college au-
thorities. On Monday announcements
of speakers are to be made at the
chapel period concerning the student
speakers who will appear on the ros
trum of the college during the chapel
period the three days following Mon
day.
According to the arrangement which
was presented to President Bryan this
afternoon, on Tuesday the Republican
and Democrats will have the floor,
represented by Messrs. Kincaid and
Mechanics, the former a Democrat,
and the latter a Republican.
On Wednesday the Prohis. and the
Socialists will have their day. Stanley
Shaw will speak in behalf of prohibi-
tion issues, and the Socialist side of
the question will be represented by
Dana Murdock. On Thursday it is
planned to have four stump seeches at
the chapel hour, made by Lee Lamp
son, Prohibtionist; A. E. Price, Dem
ocrat: Dana Murdock, Socialist; j. L.
Ashlock, Republican.
The speech will be followed
by a straw ballot, in which the candi
dates for president and vice president
of the United States, on the Republi-
can, Democrat. Socialist and Prohibi-
tion parties will be considered.

stroyed when the blowing is done later.
As soon as the spring work is done,
this disced land should be plowed as
rapidly as possible. Then instead of
leaving the plowed untouched. as is
frequently the case a lCambelD sub
surface packer, which consists of skel-
eton wheels that sink into the furrow.
is made to follow the plow as closely
as possible.
This packing process prevents the
drying out of the furrow, and at the
same time the form of the tool is such
that the surface of the soil is left al
most untouched, thus avoiding the
condition that is raised against most
compacting tools: that they fine the
soil, and encourage drifting " "Cul-
tlvatlon throughout the summer must
be sufficient to keep the weeds down,
and should be done with some knife"
type of cultivation. The reason for
using this type of cultivator is to keep
weeds thoroughly cut off with the least
amount of working over of the loose
mulch on the surface. If sufficient
cultivation is given with a spiketooth
harrow. or point shovel cultlvator to
keep the weeds down, the surface is
made so fine that it will drift badly,
and is likely to run together, and pud-
die or bake.
The vital points are the early disc
ing, and use of the sub-surface packer
Immediately after the use of the pillow !;
and the furrow cultivation with type
of tool that does the minimum of pull
verizing at the surface.

dents political organizations of the
college when he arrives in Pullman on
the 28th in the interests of the Re-
publican campaign for the state of
Washington, is made evident by the
plans now under discussion by the stu
dents.
The students of the college have or
ganized clubs supporting the princi-
pies of the Republican, Democrat, the
Socialist. and the Prohibition party.
Governor Mead is to speak at the Pull
man auditorium, and the students in
tend to get out their several organiza-
tions, and give demonstration of
college spirit, in honor of the gov
ernor. If the plans now under dis
cussion materialize, each club will
have its own block of seats in the
opera house, and some fancy yelling
will be done during the course of the
evening. Banners and placards bearing
we'll known party shibboleths will be
borne by the leaders of the different
clubs.
An effort will be made to have Hon.
M. E. Hay, republican nominee for
lieutenant governor, present on the
evening of the speaking Mr.. Hay

PRODUCE MARKETS
HAVE BUSY WEEK
Scarcity of Chickens Most
Noticeable Feature of
Weeks Marketing.

The local markets Of Pullman have
during the past week exhibited consid-
cradle activity in handling of various
kinds of farm produce. both for the
purpose of local consumption, and
shipment to out-oftown points.
One Of the most noticeable features
of the past week s marketing has been
the scarcity of chickens. Last Mon
day one of the local dealers said he
could use twenty-five dozen chickens at
ten cents per pound, if he could get
them. Up to the middle of the week,
the supply of poultry needed by this
firm had not appeared. The reason
attributed for the scarcity of chickens
is that few weeks ago prices went
down to eight cents per pound, and
the farmers and poultry raisers would
not bring their fowls for that price
and that now, although prices are
looking up" the producing market
has become apathetc. The rise from
eight to ten cents is said to be due to
the fact that Spokane purchasers are
again bidding up.
Potatoes can now be purchased for
| cent per pound, but it seems that
the majority of the farmers are hold
ing for / l-2 cents. Local dealers say
that potatoes can be shipped into Pull
man from outside points for the latter
figure. and that for this reason, / cent
is more than likely to be all that local
buyers will be able to give for pota-
toes.
The egg market is brisk, and prices
are on the rise Locally produced
eggs are getting scarcer every day,
and it is more than likely that in
order to meet the demand, eggs will
be shipped into Pullman from eastern
points before the coming warm wealth
er in the spring. By eastern points"
is meant localities in Nebraska, and
Colorado. where the poultrymen have
the handling of hens down to such a
science that they make the biddies lay
eggs in the winter as we'll az in the
summer.
There is not enough cabbage locally
raised ito meet the demand. Local
dealers are already looking for an
outside source Of supply. Spokane is
the nearest point from which the
shortage in cabbage may be supplied.
The final base of supply is California,
but it is not likely that California
grown cabbage will be used in Pull
man until past the middle OF winter
Ducks are worth 8 cents; geese 9
cents; turkeys Is cents. Local buyers
who handle the three latter named
fowls do so mainly for the purposes Of
shipment to Spokane Every year
there is said to be a shortage of the
majority of table fowls in Spokane,
and the dealers of that city are obliged
to look to out-of-town sources for a
supply.

year, that has ever been seen any
where. A pleasing degree of success
attended the Berkshire exhibits we
have recently presented at the state
and county fairs of the Northwest.
and we have things stirred up SO that
more can be expected of the future "
The carload of blue booded Berk-
shires which this association exhibited

which they were entered, and Secre-
tary Smith, who was in charge of the

this line that was planned, said Pro-
fessor Severance. "The acreage Yields
will not be known for few weeks,
but we now know that a superior quail
ity of grain can be grown under the
methods of scientific tillage for the
dry sections. During the past season
we have tried both methods in fields
side by side, and the results prove
this.
In working out system Of till
age for very dry wheat field, the Sta
tion recognizes that the vital problem
is to catch and hold as perfectly as
possible, the rainfall of two years for
the growth of one crop. Farmers
should plan to do this. They will
profit by so doing.
4" In this system, summer fallowing
becomes necessary on account of the
extreme dryness of the climate. The
methods we advocate are as follows:
Land that is summer fallowed
should be disced as soon as spring has
opened, in order to form a mulch of
loose, dry earth on the surface to pre-
vent the rise and escape of the mOis-
ture from below. This discing also
helps to induce the termination of
weed seeds, so that they will be de-
