VARIETIES OF FRUIT.
Washington Professor Makes Study
of Each Region,

Washington Professor Makes Study
Of Each Region.
By J. L. Ashlock. Washington State College
Pullman.
During the past year numerous in
quiries have come to the State college
department Of horticulture asking ques.
tions which generally can be summed
up in the one question: "What kinds
Of fruit will do best where l livei"
This class OF quiries has given the staff
Of the state experiment station consid-
erable trouble, since, as stated by Pro-
fessor Thornber, head of the department
of horticulture, unless the staff men,
bers know exactly the climatic and coil
conditions of The region from which the
question came, erroneous information
may be given, leading the seeker for in
formation to plant trees not at all
ada pied to his region.
"Now we have solved the problem"
said Professor Thorher, recently. "Dur-
ing the last year we have made care
ful survey Of the state with reference to
the particular varieties Of fruits which
are adapted to each region. We have
classified the lists into Western Wash
ington, Inland Valleys and Upland
Valleys In this list is included ap-
pies, pears, cherries, peaches, apricots,
plums, raspberries, prunes, blackber-
ries, gocseberries, currants, strawber-
ries and nuts. Early, medium early
and late varieties are given where it is
necessary. We submit these lists to all
inquirers now, and from dozen or so
good varieties of apples, pears, etc.. he
may choose as he likes, according to the
adapta bility Of the fruit for his region.
"Another experiment we have in
hand is one in which We have selected
sixty-five good varieties OF apples from
the eight hundred or go varieties in the
state experiment station orchard, and
are sending two varieties of each Of the
sixty-five varieties to ten farmers or
iruitgrowers Of Washington. We wish
to determine by this experiment how
each variety will do In the particular
region in which 1t is tried, and in this
way we hope to collect much valuable
data concerning the possibilities for
new varieties Of apples In this region"

GRASSES , Nd CLOVER.
Pos.lbilItie. of II. Successful Growth

Possibilities of It's Successful Growth
in r h 'rn Idaho
by h. T. French. Director Idaho Experiment Sta
ton. Moscow.
Much interest is beng manifested in
the possibility of growing grasses and
tlovers in the section about Moscow
and other o i Ms OF Northern Idaho.
This m ttteI Is of special interest at
this time, for many new settlers are
coming into this state fr m the older
states, where these crops constitute
very important part Of farm produc.
tion.
Our experience exterds over several
seasons and we thought 1t might be OF
profit to some to know what is being
done in this direction on the expert
ment station farm.
We have undertaken to establish a
seeding OF clovers and grasses on por-
tion Of the farm and herewith give
brief account OF the results of our work
during the past season.
Last April we plowed up ten acres OF
land on which wheat was grown the
year before, and fitted it for the seed
by narrowing twice with fine toothed
smoothing harrow. We then sowed
br adcast the following mixture, COW
ering SIX acres, leaving the balance un-
til later, on account of the ground being
ina lower portion OF the field and too
wet to wo H.
20 pounds common red clover
6pounds Alsike clover.
26 pounds orchard grass
pounds meadow fescue.
6pounds English rye grass.
10 pounds timothy,
4pounds tall meadow oat grass
This made l6 pounds OF the mixture
per acre. The balance OF the field
was sown to the same combination, at
the same rate per acre, except eight
pounds Of alfalfa seed was added to the
mixture in place OF the alsike clover
and timothy seed.
No nurse crop was sown with the
grass mixture. And here is where
many farmers make a mistake, by COW.
ing wheat, oats Or barley with the
grass or clover. 1t is the experience
Of the best farmers now that it is not
wise to SOW crop Of grain with th'
seeding. The more rapidly growing
grain crop takes the moisture away
from the tender grass, and Glove,
plants, and when the grain is cut the
hot sun burns these tender plants up
The wild oat which is 30 abundant in
the soil of this locality is quite enough
of nurse crop, and s'ma attention
should be given to cutting this out OF
the way when it reaches the proper
stage. We cut two crops of wild oats
from our field. The first crop made a
fair yield of hay. In cutting the wild
oats the moving machine should be set
high enough 80 that it will not cut the
clover or young grass.
The last of November, when the yield
was last examined, there was fine
stand of clover and of all the grasses
sown, 30 far as we were able to detect
them. Much Of the clover headed out
last season making growth one foot
high or more.
Unless last season was an exception
ably favorable one there is no reason
why clovers and grasses should not be
grown in the hill lands in this section.
The yield of wheat will not be less
when the farmers learn to grow these
crops which restore fertility, and the
possibilities of diversified farming.
with stock as an important factor, will
be greatly strengthened.

human beings may be accommodated

that the house may be kept in certain

The city's so-calied financial state

and SO anxiously, is an admirable il
lustration of the surest way TO con-
ceal the truth. Instead of showing in
simple form what the city owes and
what ii has TO pay its debts with. the
statement contains a lot of figures. es-
Inmates, conjectures and hopes that
convey about as much meaning to the
average taxpayer as would an alge-
braiG formula. Just one item will il
lustrate; Included in the assets is a
large sum of uncollectible taxes which
no one expects TO see paid and which
can by ne honest means be construed
as assets. On the other hand, the
statement includes no tabulation of
warrants issued and unpaid or of bills
due for which no warrants have yet
been issued
The statement is not issued in this
misleading and Legitimate way just
by chance; it is a deliberate attempt

The fact that the first work along

The AMERICAN PEER.

Lord Fairfax, the holder of Scotch
peerage created in 1927, whose family
have for generations been citizens of the
United States, thinks. apparently that
naturalization as British subject en-
titles him to a seat in the house OF lohds.
whereas he will only be entitled to vote
at the election of Scotch representative
peers, or be eligible himself. There are
several interesting instances of foreign
domicile as a disability, or otherwise

his father In 1876 he took steps to be-
come a naturalized British subject by art
of parliament, which was passed the fol-
lowing year, and was in 1881 created a
peer of the United Kingdom
The naturalization Of the holder of a
peerage whose family have long been
