fungus are only the evidence OF de-
stroyed tissue, resulting from the
breaking down of the plant cells by
the parasitic fungus plant. The fungus
plant on the potato vine is as de-
pendent upon weather conditions and
food supply for development as is the
potato vine upon which it feeds and
lives.
1t will now be understood why some
potato growers associate the rapid de:
velopment of this disease with the re-
currence of certain weather condi-
tons The weather is made the cause
of the disease, although no account
is taken of the presence of the little

upon late potatoes usually comes be-
tween the dates of August 10 and
September 20. Therefore, it is /eces-
sary to guard against the claims of
some men that special dust machines,
which are adaptable to applying poi
sons, may also be used in combina-
ton with dust sprays for the blight.
However, the same machine some
times can be used for both purposes.
The station has had excellent results
from combining the arsenates used
against the beetles with a weak Bor-
deaux mixture. When this combina-
ton is put on early in the season, care
should be taken to keep the pressure
down so that the material is not
wasted. The weak Bordeaux mixture
used prevents any injuries which
might result from some mistake in
mixing the arsenic compounds. In
midsummer the Bordeaux mixture
would also have some fungicidal value.
The station has applied with success
the different poisons in combination
with lime water, which also prevents
injuries from free acid in the poison.
1t must be remembered that to sue
cessfuly control the beetles, the poi
son must be applied Immediately or
soon after the eggs hatch. For this
reason, when potatoes are raised on
large scale, IL is necessary to have
machinery which covers a wide area
in a days time. Weak Bordeaux mix
ture is made by combining four
pounds of copper sulphate with eight
pounds of lime to 100 gallons of water
containing the poison. This weak
Bordeaux mixture should be made in
the same manner as the standard Bor-
deaux mixture.

peatedly that those growers who are
successful in spraying are men who
have taken the pains to study into
the simple facts just mentioned upon
the development of this disease. The
principle involved then in successful
potato spraying is as follows:
During the rapid development Of
the disease, the mass of thread-like
mycelium is growing very rapidly in

Yakima, Spokane, Chehalis, King and
other counties have good buildings
for exhibits and headquarters.
The site selected is one of the most
beautiful that could have been chosen
j., rom it variety of views may be had
that blend the scenes of land, lake
and sky, of mountain, hill and plain,
of educational, religious and business
institutions, of city and country
homes, of lake and land transpOrta-
ton, of natures glorious beauty and
mans arduous achievements. Old

feet high, and beneath asphalt paved
streets give easy access to all parts
of the grounds. 1t is an amazing
transformation from the wilderness of
two short years ago More than
$4,000 600 have been invested in the
buildings, a large sum in the fixtures
and a magnificent display of materials
and products have been contributed
by many states and counties.
Agriculture is made q leading fea-
ture of the Observation-Disclosures EX-
position. The Cascades and the
Geyser Basin are the central feature
of the ground PLAN and at one side of
the Basin is the Agriculture building.
Washington State occupies one-half
of this building. 1t has a section near
the center, and legend on the wall
says: washington Awaits You"
Nearby the State College has fine
exhibit. Every county in the state has
section. In all these products of
the grain fields, the orchard, the dairy
and the garden are prominently dis
played. Irrigation and arid farming
methods vie for precedence. In the
other half of this building the
Canadian Pacific Railway Co. has a
large display of Canadian agricultural
products. These are repeated in the
Grand Trunk building and multiplied
in the Canadian building by the sew
eral Provinces Of the Dominion.
Around the California building are
planted a variety Of the citrus and
other fruits of that state. In front OF
the King County building are shown
the various fruit trees, vines and
plants adapted to the Puget Sound
region About the Alaska building
are a variety of Alaska's native trees
and shrubs, while within are many
samples of agricultural products that
promise adaptation and value to the
needs of a rapidly increasing popula-
ton. The Hawaii building shows
many things of semi-tropical growth
that pertain to the vastly different
conditions that surround agriculture
in land of perpetual summer. The
philippines exhibit shows different
class of tropical productions. Japan
displays the varied agricultural pro
ducts of the Land of the Rising Sun"
Formosa shows it's teas, fruits, etc.
Then there is the agriculture of China
that great and wonderful country now
awakening from the slumber OF CEN
turtles to the activities of a new phase
of life. The South American Repub-
lies and European countries have
their contributions to the many forms
of agricultural products that minister
to the supply of human needs. AL
together it is a wonderful display
that affords a vast field for careful
and thoughtful study. In future ar

the conditions that pertain to the
Pacific Northwest since the time when
Ezra Meeker and his compatriots
turned their backs on the Muddy
Missouri and took up their tedious
journey over the Oregon trail toward
the setting sun to the land "where
rolls the Oregon" while the placid
waters OF the Puget Sound ebbed and
flowed in nearly the same peaceful
solitude as when Captain Vancouver
first explored and named it's prominent
features, from the lofty Mt. Rainier
to the inlet of Deception Pass.
Two mighty factors have lent their
potent influence to this great trans
formation: One was the purchase
of Alaska, brought about by the subtle
policy of Secretary of State, VIM. II.
Seward, whereby it's hidden stores of
valuable minerals and wealth of
forest and water resources were Sc
cured to the lasting benefit of the
United States. The other was the adj
vent of the iron horse by the compile
ton of the Union Pacific railroad
whose golden spike was driven May
10, forty years ago, followed by the
Northern Pacific railway a quarter OF
a century ago, and more recently by
James j. Hills Great Northern rail-
way which Weakened the slumbering
village that clustered about the site
where YeSler built his pioneer saw
mill, into commercial life and activity.
At the time of the advent OF these
powerful constructive forces the East
had but little conception of the latent
resources of the Inland Empire, the
mighty forests of the Coast, or the
Alaskan Peninsula that is nearly equal
in size to their section OF the country
lying east of the Mississippi and north
of the cotton states along the Gulf
of Mexico. Very slowly and imper-
fectly has this perception percolated
through the effete East. The Port
land Fair was an eye-opener to them,
but was too narrow in it's scope to
give adequate comprehension OF the
wealth of resources and potent pos
sibilities that await the eye OF intel
ligence and the hand of industry TO
pour out lavish rewards for invest
ment and labor.
To give to the world demonstra-
ton of the resources and attalnments
of the Alaska country, Godfrey Chea-
lander gave inception to the idea Oh
holding an Exposition at the beautl-
full and progressive city of Seattle.
This inspiration came to him at the
Portland Fair in 1905. The idea was
expanded and developed to INCLUDE
the wonderful Yukon country or the
Dominion of Canada, Hawaii and the
Philippines possessions of the United
States, the Pacific Coast states ana
the countries bordering on the great
Pacific Ocean, whose trade and devel-
opment are to become such mighty
factors in the commerce of the world,
and are being brought into prominence
and quickened in vitality with ire
mendous strides by the construction
of the Panama Canal.
In May of 1906 an Exposition
Corporation was organized and Of
ficers elected, J. e. Chilberg pelng
chosen as President and |. A. Nadeau

cleared part of the Campus or the
