RAPID MARCH OF PROGRESS.

Between March 1 and May 1 many thousands
of homeseekers have visited the Pacific Northwest
and investigated it's opportunities. Between June
/ and November 1 tens of thousands of other
homeseekers will come the same Grand
large proportion of these visitors have been at
tracted by the ample demonstrations made as to
the adaptabiity of many localities to the produc-
ton of commercial fruits. This industry has been
so closely associated with irrigated lands that
the following concise statements will be of inter-
est
More than 100000 acres of land exclusive of
government projects will be added to the irrigated
area in Eaestern and North Central Washington
this year and arrangements also under way
to put water thousands of acres of land in
Northern Idaho and Oregon, Western Montana
and Southeastern British Columbia. Most of this
land will be devoted to apples, peaches and plums
and it is estimated that from 100000 to 1O0OO,-
600 trees will be planted during the next fourteen
mouths, thus giving employment to hundreds OF
men and making homes for thousands afterwards.
In addition it is reported that the government
intends taking up the following reclamation pro-
iects Benton and Kittitas, ST. 800 acres; Palouse
10000 acres; Ellensburg, $4,000 acres; Rattle
snake and Coal Creek, 100000 acres; Okanogan,
10000 acres. total area of 1,237S00 acres.
Further, in the Inland Empire, comprising l5O-
900 square miles of territory and taking in part OF
Washington, Idaho Montana and Oregon, there
is at present miles of railway building than
in any other similar territory in the United States
The mileage in the state of Washington alone
is $500 and the work carried on in the balance of
the empire will bring the total up to $500 miles
Besides railroads in Western Canada will spend
more than $90,0O0000 during the year 1909

AVOID THE MIsDIREcTIoN.

Indictments have recently been filed against the
system of education now developed in this coun-
try. negro who graduated at Yale University
charges his troublous experience to 'super-educa-
tion,' declaring a negro has no business with
college education. An Esquimaux lad brought
here by Peary of his Polar expeditions,
has left the country, charging that our c1vil1Za-
ton has done nothing but harm to him and his
people. professor in Rockefellers University
at Chicago declaims against system of educa-
ton related to his experiences.
In all of these cases there seems to have been
msft-a lack of adaptation of the education to
the coeXistng conditions This has been the
case in too many instances. Too many have
found themselves in the condition of who
said Il cannot dig; to beg ashamed"
The schools of the country generally
will have closed their school courses and will
go thence to grapple with the realities of life.
1t is vital matter with them whether they have
been educated have become merely learned
fools, impractical and incapable of self-help.
The trend of the time is to evolve a more
practical and useful course of school education,
that shall be more closely affiliated with the
affairs of life and labor of men and women of to-
day. In our cities hundreds that striving
by study at night and in spare moments to get
the elements of practical education they did not
find in their school life The Davis school bill
was fair attempt to pace a practical line of
instruction within reach of the rising generation
in rural communities. In q few years these
germs of Improvement will bear a rich frultage
that may be helpful in saving many from the
evils of misdirected education.

RESIGNS FROM IDAHO UNIVERSITY.

During the past month Professor H. It. French,
director of Idaho Agricultural Experiment Station
through his extensive Farmers Institute work has
resigned his position at Moscow, where he has
been since 1898. There was radical difference
between Professor French and President Mclean
of the University to the management of the
Agricultural College affairs. That is a contin-
gency very liable to in combined institu-
ton, owing to the radical differences between
industrial and academic of instruction.
Professor French is advocate of separation of
the institutions.
Professor French is pioneer in the promotion
of scientific agriculture in the Pacific Northwest,
coming to the Coast in 1889 to accept the chair
of animal husbandry at the Oregon Agricultural
himself to the building up of the livestock in
dustry and pioneer in advocating the
of stall fed beef in place of the range stock which
was customary IL to 10 years ago.
Professor French introduced the Farmers lnsti-
tute into this section of the country the first
being held under his direction at Corvallis Is
19 years ago. He is also an enthusiast with refer
to the teaching of domestic science, and that
excellent department in the University of Idaho
is very largely due to his untiring efforts in it's
behalf
AS a means of reaching the farmer and the
farmers family, and making their lot better and
happier Professor French is firm believer in the
it's state and national organizations, and at the
meeting of the later in Washington, d. G., last
November he appointed deputy state Grange
organizer.
Professor f. E. Elliott, so we'll known to Wash
ingtOn agricultural circles has been appointed to
the position vacated by Professor French and the
work has been enlarged by the establishment of
new Experiment Stations in Lincoln County and
Bonner County, while another will be added near
Idaho Falls, Bingham County.

TO sUPERINTEND STOCK SHOW.

M. D. Wisdom, editor of The Rural Spirit, has
been appointed Superintendent of the A.-Y.-P.
Live Stock Show which will be held September
20 to October inclusive and is in the field
visiting representative breeders soliciting eX-
hibits
1t is the opinion of The Ranch that no better
selection could be made. Mr.. Wisdom has been
actively identified with the livestock interests of
the Pacific Northwest for many years and has
a very wide acquaintance among breeders gen.
orally. Through his own personal work and
through his paper he has welded mighty in
fuence for the betterment of farm stock.
Mr.. Wisdom is of broad views and ex-
perience in livestock breeding and in the promo
ton of Fairs and Stock shows Ten years ago he
helped to organize the International Livestock
Show and Exposition at Chicago which is now
one of the two greatest events of it's kind in the
world Last year he of the prime movers
in the successful efforts of the business of
Portland to establish a Stock Show in that city,
with the result that 100000 was raised and this
show is recognized by the National Associa-
ton of State Fairs and EXpositions.
Mr. Wisdom's appointment is just recognition
of his untiring work in behalf of the A-Y.-P. e.
and the livestock interests. The Ranch urges
every breeder to lend all assistance possible in
making this show highly credtabe to the Pacific
Northwest

LUMPY CONDENSED MILK.

A quantity of condensed milk from Oregon was
recently condemned at Seattle because it was
Iumpy Samples of the milk were submitted to
Professor Charles w. Johnson, dean of the school
of pharmacy at the University of Washington,
who made a chemical test. Professor Johnson
states that the Jumps in the milk were composed
of butter fat and that there was no other trouble
with the milk The test showed that the milk
was light in solids, although not to any marked
degree.
The Ranch in it's issue of November / last,
quoted from bulletin by Professor o. F. Hun
ziker, head of the dairy department of Purdue
University Ind, wherein he gave the results or
exhaustive study of lumpy condensed milk
and it's causes. He showed clearly that the con-
dion was due to the fact that the standard
fixed by the Federal authorities requires SO high
a percentage (28) of solids-albuminoids fats,
etc.-that evaporation tends to- and frequently
does, injure the quality of unsWeetened con-
densed milk by producing this lunlpy condition
This is due to the change in relation OF the
elements remaining after evaporation OF Ihe
water to the total bulk of the milk product, where
by the acid in the milk acts more powerfully IN
coagulatng the albumen while under the hlgn
heat required for condensation and the 1mper-
vious Jumps are formed. The coagulum becomes
so firm that it is impregnable by the heat tne
butterfat is not combined with it into complete
emulsion, and the product is mpertectly sterlllzed
and it's quality becomes seriously Impaired
The value of unsweetened condensed milk de-
ponds upon it's perfect sterilization and the forma-
ton of perfect emulsion that Will hold the
butterfat in suspension and prevent us churn-
ing during transportation. But lumpy milk Is
liable to occur in any cOndenSary Tor unSWeeIened
milk State Dairy and Food Commissioner Da-
vies has frequently found it and says: Il have
personally seen condensaries in this state throw
away lumpy milk rather than can ana attempt
to dispose of it."
II become then matter of vital Importance
to the Pacific Northwest that a more rational
standard be adopted for the contents of unsWeet-
ened condensed milk. It's production is now a
leading branch of the dairy industry, and its de-
mand is RAPIDLY increasing. In 1897 the exports
of condensed milk amounted to half a million dol
lars; during the last fiscal year they were nearly
two and half million dollars, and the total ex-
ports for ten years amounted to near $l6,OOOOOO.
A large part of the world demands condensed
milk Last year Japan took it to the value or
$500 $40; the Philippines $157,602; China, $S7O34,
and Mexico $79023. The Pacific Northwest IS
esnecialv well located for supplying this growing
