ENORMOUS WHEAT RECEIPTS

The receipts of grain at the tram
way, Il miles southwest of Pullman,
have not only broken all previous
records by more than so per cent.
but have gone far beyond the widest
dreams of the management. The re-
ceipts up to last Sunday were H.
600 sacks and the receipts are ex-
pected to reach $4,000 sacks before
the close of the season. U. G. Law
Ter. manager for the Interior Ware
house Company's business in the Pa
louise country, had expected greater
receipts this year than ever before
and had placed the estimate at co.
900 sacks. The highest previous re-
cord was $4,000 sacks, and the in
crease to date, over the highest pre-
vious record is more than so per
cent. and is expected to reach 60 per
cent net increase before the close OF
the season. This simply means that
the country tributary to the ware
house has produced so to go per
cent more wheat than 1t has ever
produced in single previous sea-
son.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL NOTES
Prospects Bright For Best Balanced
Team in History of Washington
State College

There seems little doubt that
Washington State College will have
one of the best balanced teams ever
put upon the gridiron and more
glory for the big school is assured
before the close of the season. While
there will be fewer big" games here
than formerly, there will be enough
to keep up interest. and the team will
meet one of the strongest teams of
! the northwest on the local grounds
on November 16. Idaho, the game
which draws the biggest crowd and
attracts the greatest number, will be
played at Moscow on November 6,
and there is no doubht that there
will be an enormous crowd present,
| for the teams are tied in games won
up to date and the rivalry between
the two schools is fierce enough to
insure a big attendance, no matter
where the game is played.
The best game of the season is
expected when Whitworth College,
of Tacoma, meets w. S. G. on the To-
cal grounds. Whitworth defeated
the University of Oregon by a score
of IL to and Whitman College by 6
to 0, and tied the University of Wash
ington last year The team is strong
er than ever, having all of it's last
years men and a number of new
stars to assist if needed.
Following is the schedule of games
for the season, Four games will
! be played here. These are Puget
Sound University, October 19; Che
ney Normal, October 30; Whitworth
college, November 16 and a second
team game with the University of
Idaho here on November 26, the day
after Thanksgiving. Idaho will be
played at Moscow on November 6,
and Whitman at Walla Walla on
Thanksgiving day, November 25.
There will be no game with the Uni
versity of Washington this year.
The men are out for practice every
afternoon from to and are show
ing up we'll. There are a few pros
pective stars" among the new men,
but there are fully a score of big,
husky, enthusiastic and conscien-
tious workers, the kind that make
the best possible team, and Athletic
Manager Jones is certain that he
will have the best balanced team in
the history of the school. big"
Deaner, who is a star" any time
and place. will be with the team this
year. Tub" Laird will probably
take the place made vacant by the
absence of "Chub" Cherry in last
years team and there is no doubt
that Tub will make good
The big game will be the post
season game with Denver University
at Spokane on December A. That is
expected to be the greatest game
ever played in Spokane and already
the railroads are preparing to run
excursion trains to Spokane from all
parts of the Inland Empire. There
will be no game with the Haskell In
dians. Manager Jones thinks that
one post-season game will be all that
the men will stand for.

Second Prize
HOW TO SELECT SEED POTATOES
Miss Celia Burgess


In order to be successful in grow
ing potatoes one must be very care
full in selecting their seed potatoes.
The proper kind of potatoes should
be selected and in the proper way.
The best potatoes from the best
hills should be selected every time.
In order to do this the seed should
be selected while digging the pota-
toes. If you wait until after digging
to select your seed you are unable
to select the best seed. You can PICK
out the best potatoes from your bin,
but this alone does not mean you
are getting the best for seed. say,
for instance, we select seed from
hin which has four marketable pota-
toes and several small ones. Tnls
will have a tendency to make our
crop decrease, while II we select from
a hiu which has five or six marketa-
BILE potatoes in it and no small ones,
our crop will be more likely to IN
crease, Like produces like, there
fore we should, when selecting seed
take into consideration the hill from
which it comes. In order to do this
the seed must be selected when dig
ging.
Another good way of selecting
seed is to select from the individual
plant. Take one hill and select the
best potatoes from 1t and plant them.
Then the next season do likewise py
selecting the best from this plant
ing and so on for several seasons.
n you are particular about getting
the best every time your crop VIII
he good. But this is a more difficult
way than the first. | would prefer
the first method. That Is, to select
your seed for your next crop while
digging your potatoes and be care
full as to the number of marketable
potatoes and the number OF small
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1909-10-08

ones in each hill that you select
from. and l believe if you do this
way every year your crop will in
crease rather than decrease.
Following are the rules and in
structions governing the investiga-
tions which were made by the stu
dents prior to writing the essays.
These instructions and directions
were given by Professor Lechner and
give an insight into the work that is
ture:
Exercise
To study variation in potatoes and
to determine the best for selection of
seed
Materials.-Potato patch, fork,
scales, bucket.
Directions.-Dig 80 representative
hills, separate large from small ones.
Weigh each hill and each lot separ-
ately. Record results.
What is the difference in weight
between the largest and the small
est hills? The market demands a
smooth, medium-sized potato. What
was the greatest number of market
able potatoes to the hill? The few
est? Which were the three most de-
sirable hills from which to save seed ?
Why? When you get seed potatoes
from the cellar can you tell that
you are getting seed from the best
hills? If you can't get the best seed
potatoes from the cellar, how would
you select seed if you were COM
mercial potato grower? Counting
one hill for every two square feet,
how many cwt. of marketable pota-
toes would one acre yield with hills
like the best you dug? What yield
all like poorest hill? What would
be the yield from the average of 80
hills? Write a theme of from 200
to 800 words on how you would Sc
| lect seed potatoes.

A NEW FOOTBALL STAR
Good News From Spokane For Wash
ingtOn State College Football
Team

Wallace De Witt, the Spokane
high school football star, one of the
best all-round football men in the In
land Empire, has entered Washing
ton State College. The glad tidings
came from Spokane Wednesday even
ing in the Chronicle, which contained
the following:
Wallace De Witt, for three years
the star fullback of the Spokane high
school football eleven, leaves today
for Pullman to attend the Washing
ton State College.
This announcement will cause a
cry of joy to escape the throats of
the Pullman rooters. The only weak
spot on the team at the east side in
stitution this year has been that of
fullback. Coach Kienholz has search
ed through every class for a punter
and drop kicker, but has failed to
land his man
Now comes De Witt, one of the
finest punters in the northwest. In
addition to that he is football play
er. He can carry the ball, smash the
line and can assist the line on de-
defense. There is no local man in
this section who should be able to fill
the gap in the college team like De
Witt.
THE Journey of the star punter
comes as a surprise, both to the
friends of the athlete and to the w.
S. G. people. He left a short time
ago to take entrance examinations at
Princeton He failed in one branch
in an unusually hard test. He then
jumped on the train for Spokane, and
today signified his intention of go
ing to Pullman"

STATE COLLEGE
NEWS ITEMS
Matters of Interest to Friends of the
States Biggest School For the
Week

The enrolment has passed the
1000 mark, the first time in the his
tory OF the school that this has oc-
CURED during the second week
every county in the state is repre-
sented, and Seattle and King county.
IN which the University of Washing
ton is located, has one of the largest
delegations OF any county in the
state, showing the popularity of the
courses taught here as compared with
the State University.
Everything is moving nicely at the
college. There has never been time
when students settled down to hard
work so quickly after the opening of
the school year, and this is taken as
an indication of unusually good re-
suits in every department. While II
is impossible to get the exact enroll
ment in the entire school or in any
department, it Is believer that almost
every departm ent shows an increase
over the same time last year. The
head or every department is encour-
aged over the outlook and expects q
record breaking year. Professor
Fulmer, head of the chemistry depart
ment will have Morrill, Hall for his
department this year and will need
all of the room, The domestic science
| department had n large part of this
building until this year, when 1t oc-
cuples its own building, erected last
lyear
The roof is being put on the new
heat, light and power plant. This
will be completed in few days and
| 1t will be none too soon, for the heat
ing plant has had to be put in opera
tion as the weather has been quite
cool for several days. The immense
pipes carrying steam through the
big tunnels are giving much better
satisfaction than the old system. The
new coal bunkers at the boiler room
are a vast improvement over the old
m ethods of handling coal. The self
feeding apparatus under two of the
big boilers have been dispensed with
and the furnaces are fed by hand.
The coal is hauled up by the cable
car and dumped down a concrete in
cline and heaped in piles just in front
of the furnace doors.
A radical change is to be made in
the handling of the lecture course
this year. This is to be placed in
the hands of the young men students,
or committee of them, with full
power to act and this committee will
try to awaken more interest and en-
thusiasm in the course. A fine course
has been provided for this year, and
a big reduction is to be made to all
who buy season tickets. The first
lecture Is to be Saturday night, Octo-
Der 8, when "Fiddling Bob" Taylor,
United States Senator and formerly
governor of Tennessee, will lecture.
This will be rare treat. Senator
La Toilette. of Wisconsin, will lect-
ure on October 81; and on December
Il Whitney Brothers Quartet will give
a musical entertainment. The Rid
delsberger Quartet; Adam Meade and
Mons Laurant, the great magician,
are other attractions which will come
later in the season, but the exact
dates are not yet fixed.

the prayer of 21 teachers employed
in the schools of Pullman last Sat
urday night when they met at the
home of Mrs. j. w. Mathews, clerk
of the school district, for a general
good time. AL care and dignity were
thrown to the winds and the teach
ers became school boys and school
girls intent upon having a good time.
There are now 21 teachers en-
ployed in the Pullman Public Schools
and several of these are married.
The husbands aud wives of the mar
ried teachers were invited. 1t had
been planned as a reception by the
old teachers to the new employees of
the school district, but 1t was far
from formal. The idea of the social
session was that all should become
well acquainted with each other,
with a view to securing complete har-
mony in action and relations of the
teachers. This idea was successfully
carried out for before the happy
guests adjourned they felt as IL they
had known each other from child
hood.
There were nearly 80 persons pre-
sent and all we're bent upon having

ceeded. Music, social converse and
several guessing contests furnished
amusement and entertainment.
Dainty refreshments were served.

seed potatoes Lynn S. Keyes was
awarded first prize and Miss Celia

who passed upon the papers. The
Judges were the experiment station
staff of Washing ton State College and
they say it was a difficult task to
select the winners, for the work was
uniformly good. Writing, compost
ton, and grammar were taken into
consideration in making the awards
yet there were a number of papers
so nearly equal in merit that the
task of picking the two best was a
decidedly hard one Following are
the two winning theses:
First Prize
THE SELECTION OF SEED POTA-
TOES
Lynn S. Keyes
Although the potato crop ranks
sixth in the Importance and acreage,
in the United States, there has been
little said on the increase in yield
of this staple crop, while there has
been much said and done about the
increase in yield of the various grain
crops.
The average yield of potatoes in
the state of Washington is around
one hundred bushels per acre, and
|. yet it is entirely possible to raise
teyen four hundred bushels on good
average soil. Why, then, is the aver
age so low? 1t can be explained
mostly because there has not been
enough attention paid to the selec-
tion of seed.
1 To one not familiar with potatoes
Tit would probably seem the best plan
to pick out the biggest ones to use
for seed and of course, that could
be done easily from the pit, but on
studying the potatoes as they are
4 dug it will be found that the very
large potatoes are usually produced
from hills containing only few and
If these large potatoes were planted
the yield would probably be decreas-
ed, because like produces like ana
therefore the hills would most OF
them be small. Also the market de-
mands medium sized smooth pota-
toes, and while selecting seed for
yield it is no more trouble to select
for quality at the same time. But
even if the most desirable market
potatoes are taken from the pit there
is no way of telling whether or not
they came from good hills.
Therefore the only way is to Sc
lect seed potatoes as they are Dug
by hand. In selecting the seed IL
should be remembered that smooth,
medium-sized potato is the best for
market and that is to the growers
interest that he take only those hills
which contain the greater number.
1t would pay the commercial grow
er, who digs his potatoes by ma
chine, to use some system such as
the cotton growers have for the Sc
lection of cotton seed, so that ne
would not have to dig many by hand.
The small farmer, however, can cas-
lily dig enough by hand to secure
seed and he would not lose on II.
The increase in yield and quality
would many times pay him for the
extra labor.
