the farm who came to attend the meet
ing. The reception at ElberIon was a
royal one and did honor to that thriv-
ing little town.
Other stops Monday afternoon were
at Garfield and Pennington, each
place turning out large crowds of
farmers and citizens and there were
many school children and boys who
enterd the corn growing contest and
will strive for the liberal prizes offer
ed for the best crops of corn grown.
There was also strong demand for
the free pea seed given by the Oregon
Railroad and Navigation Company to
farmers who will plant the seed and
try raising peas for feed for stock in
stead of allowing the land to stand
idle for summer fallow purposes.
Tuesday stops were made at Latah,
Fairfield. Tekoa, and Oakesdale and
more than 1000 persons heard the
lectures at the four placse named.
Sumptuous feeds were given the party
with the train at Fairfield, at noon,
and at Oakesdale in the evening. At
Fairfield the party with all the train

SPRING WORK
HAS BEGUN
Flowing Started in This vi
cinity. Big Increase in
Grain Acreage.

Farmers are plowing and spring
work is we'll under way throughout
Whitman county, In the vicinity of
Pullman much farm work was done
last week and the ground is found to
be in better condition than was ex-
pected. There is rush of spring
work now on and good farm laborers
are in demand. Wages are about the
same as last year.
The prospects are for an increased
acreage of all kinds of grain. The
high prices now prevailing and the in
dications of continued high prices for
grain are causing farmers to put forth
special efforts to get as much land in
to grain as possible and there will be
less than the usual amount of summer
fallowed. Wheat has already been
contracted at Lewiston for ST per
bushel for August delivery and Sep
tember wheat is selling for more than
81 per bushel in Chicago. This is
taken as sure indication that wheat
prices will remian high. With such
conditions farmers are anxious to
raise every bushel of grain possible
and will plant spring wheat, oats and
barley, all of which are commanding
high prices. Seed barley has sold for
two cents per pound. a new record in
prices while seed oats have brought
So. Is per hundred pounds at auction
in the Palouse country within the
past two weeks. Potatoes. too, are
high and are now in demand at from
$l.50 to So per 100 pounds. The pro-
spects are good for higher prices for
potatoes and the demand is certain to
be strong during the coming season.
Farmers will plant large acreage
hoping for large yield and fair prices.
They are learning that potatoes grown
on land which would otherwis be
summerfallowed. put in better condi-
tion for fall sowing wheat than any
thing that can be grown and the profit
on crop of potates are large. In
stead of allowing large portion of
their land to remain idle the farmers
will probably plant potatoes and corn
on land which they have been summer
following.
There are many reasons why this
should be done. The high prices
which are expected to prevail for
wheat, oats and barley will make the
feeding of these grains prohibitive,
because of the expense. Corn can be
grown cheaply on land which would
otherwise produce nothing and it
makes the best sotck food that can be
grown. Potatoes, carrots and other
root crops are also good feed for al
most all kinds of stock and can be
grown in large quantities. The high
price of grain promises to do more in
converting the farmer to the plan of
raising crops on the land instead of
summer following, than anything that
has happened in long time, and once
this practice is adopted generally it is
thought the days of summer fallowed
land will have passed.

paid. Five years actual residence on
the land is required by the home
stead laws. qhe Indians allotted are
now busy fencing their holdings pre-
paratory to beginning spring work,
and it is the belief that there will
be greater acreage sown to grain
this year by these Indians than was
ever known in the history of the reser-
walton. Now that they know the
boundaries of their farms they propose
to utilize every foot of ground in rails
ing crops.

on the proposed change in the plant
which will include doubling the boiler
capacity and the erection of a new
building on the west of the present
structure. and the erection of man.
moth brick chimney or smoke stack,
which will require a vast amount of
brick and will add greatly to the
draught of the fires.
That the legislature appreciated the
great good that is being done for the
agricultural interests by the farmers
institutes and demonstration trains is
shown by the fact that the full amount
asked for by the regents for farmers
Institutes and extension work, ST.,
500, was allowed as was the full
amount asked for the Puyallup expert
ment station.
Taking the appropriation as allowed
it means that there will be spent in
Pullman for new buildings and equip
ment of the buildings now erected, the
sum of at least $125. 900, this season.
This means good times in Pullman
again, for the expenditure of that
amount of money within few months
means the bringing to Pullman of
many workmen, many of the experts
who draw high wages and spend their
money freely. The equipment of the
buildings erected last year will cost
$50, 1863. 25, according to the present es-
Inmates. The new heating plant or
the enlargement of the present plant,
will cost $500 more. The veteri-
nary hospital and added wing of the
farm barn, will cost 500. 900 more and
the other expenditures will bring the
total up to at least $125, 900. All of
this money will be spent during the
coming summer and this is certain to
make lively times in Pullman.
The full amount asked, 1878. ATS. IS,
for maintenance, will be used for that
purpose, and half of that sum, or al
most $3.50, 900, will be spent this year.
making total of more than $3l5, 900
to be spent here in addition to the
large sum from the federal govern
ment.
The regular annual meeting of the
board of regents will be held in
Pullman beginning April 7, when the
accounts will all be checked over and
plans for the new heating plant and
for the other improvements will be
submitted for their approval. Work
will probably begin soon after that
meeting on some of the improvements
and the other work will begin as
soon after that as the necessary "red
tape' proceedings can be complied
with. There will be at least one
change in the board of regents in the
near future. J. S. Anderson's term
has expired and he has declined a re-
appointment. F. j. Barnard's term
has also expired, but it is understood
that he has been offered the position
and that he will accept. All of the
other regents have long time yet to
serve before the expiration of their
terms.

HOW HALF MILLION WILL Be SPENT
State Colleges Big Appropriation Di-
vided into Three Departments.

The big appropriation of more than
4. half million dollars allowed for
Washington State College by the re-
cent legislature is to be spent almost
wholly at the discretion of the regents
and board, of control. This means
that while the appropriation allowed
is about 500, 900 short of what was
asked. it is to be expended in such a
way as not to cripple the college and
that while some things that are ac-
tuallY needed must be dispensed with,
the progress of the college and the
grand work it is doing are not to be
hindered.
In conversation with the Herald re-
porter President Bryan gave out a
statement which will be read with in
terest by the Herald subscribers.
The legislature allowed $29, 1872, the
full amount asked. for the Puyallup
experiment station. 1t also allowed
S17, 900 for farmers institute work.
The remainder, amounting in all to
$487, 804, is in the form of blanket"
appropriation, to be used at the dis
cretion of the board of regents, sub
ject to the approval of the board of
control. This gives those who really
understand the needs of the college
the control of the money and it will
surely be expended where it will do
the greatest good. 1t will be neces-
sary to make reductions in many
places and some of the movements
desired will have to be omitted, but
all of the most needed improvements
will be made. The fire proof vault in
which was planned to store insect and
botanical collections and which would
cost SIS. 000 will be built. That por-
tion of the appropriation asked for was
to be used in experiments in agriculture
on logged off lands. will not be used,
that portion of the work being dis
pensed with. These two items will
mean saving of SIT, 500 There will
be reductions in some of the other i'm
provements to bring the amount to be
expended within the appropriation.
The improvements in the veterinary
hospital, estimated to cost $19, 300 will
be made, but they will be scaled down
and the completion of the farm barn
will be made, but the work of scaling
down will be applied to this, so that
instead of this costing $4,000 the total
cost of barn and veterinary hospital
wing will be we'll under 500, 900. thus
making a saving of about $4,000 in the
two buildings.
The new heat, light and power
plant will be installed at cost of
$50, 900 instead of SIS, 900, as asked
for, and while many improvements
which were really needed will have to
be cut out, the original plan of the
plant will be carried out in a general
way and a permanent plant whic will
will supply the college for the next
Is or 20 years. unless its growth is
greater than is now expected. will be
