It is predicted that 1910 will wit
ness the establishment of more new
manufacturing enterprises in the
Northwest than ever before. All cit
les and towns realize that they need
payrolls to increase their well-being.
MANY of them are planning active
campaigns to get new factories. In
the middle west and eastern states
there are many enterprises ready to
come to the Northwest if the matter
is properly presented to them. The
Seattle Chamber has $40. 600 site,
which will be given to the first PERSON
or company that invests S75, 900 in
building and equipping a factory.
The property is in the corporate linn
it's of Seattle and in touch with wa
ter and rail transportation. The town
of .Kelso on the Columbia River is
also Offering free sites. Everett holds
out generous offers. as do many other
localities. so that many new factories
should spring up in this part of the
country before long.

Of US who have acquired that habit of

agricultural soils of the world are
wearing out-a view held by some
of the ancient Greek and Roman
writer's, who discussed at much length
the different classes of soil. their
power of endurance under different
methods of cultivation. and the prob
lem of maintaining their fertility,
says a writer in Harper's Weekly.
Therefore, much comfort will
doubtless be derived by those citizens

starving in few thousand years from
the announcement by the Department
of Agriculture that, on the contrary,

house of fertility than ever before,
and that tie long soils of
the leading nations of Europe are pro-
ducing not only greater crops than
ever before in history. but larger
crops than the comparatively new
soils of the United States. The same
fields in Great Britain that grew
wheat for the Roman colonists grow
wheat today for London town and
produce an average of thirty-two
bushels to the acre. as against an aver
age of fourteen bushels to the acre in
the United States. Germany grows
twenty eight bushels to the acre and
France nearly twenty bushels. The
average increase in Europe in the
last twenty-fi five years has been about
twelve bushels to the acre.
''The increase of acre production
in the United States in forty years
has been only two bushels of wheat,
and corn has declined half bushel.
Moreover it is the soil of the older
states that is giving the increased
wheat yield. The New England
states are producing heavier yields of
wheat and corn than the Mississippi
Valley. For instance. the average
yield in Vermont for forty years has
been: of wheat, eighteen and one
half bushels: ard corn, thirty five
bushels willie the average for Illinois
was only thirteen bushels of wheat
and thirty bushels of corn.''

Music as an AneSthetic

A physician of Geneva. in Switzer-
land, has successfully employed mu-
sic to soothe and tranquillize the
dreams of persons who have taken
ether or chloroform in order to I'm
dergo surgical operations.
The music is begun as soon as the
anesthetic begins to take effect, and
is continued until the patient awakee.
It is said that not only does this
treatment prevent the hysterical ef-
fects sometimes witnessed. but that
the patient on recovering feels no
nausea or illness.
Another physician uses blue light
to produce anethesia. The light from
a sixteen candle. power electric lamp.
furnished with blue bulb, is concen-
trated upon the patients eyes, but
the head and the lamp are enveloped
in blue veil, to shut out extraneous
light. Insensibil is produced in
two or three minutes.

The apples which graced the
Thanksgiving table of President Taft.
were big red ones from Washington.
They were grown on Puget Sound and
forwarded to the national capital by
the growers of Vashon Island. Before
going East. this fruit was on display
at the National Apple Show in Spo
kane. 1t attracted more people than
any other single exhibit in the whole
show, because of its unique and nat
urai arrangement. These apples dem
onstrated the fact that the irrigated
districts of Eastern Washington are
not the only ones that can produce
line fruit. With care and scientific
methods, Puget Sound horticultural
lists say that good apples can be pro-
duced here. as we'll as any place in

State Dairy and Food Inspector
James Il. Wallis. of Idaho. has issued
a statement that his department Is
not "boosting one brand of goods to
the det1iment of another. It appears
that controversy has arisen among
the baking powder manufacturers as
to the relative desirability of alum
and cream of tartar as the basis OF
their product. Some of them have
sought to make Inspector Wallis the
champion of one of them. He denies
the accusation emphatically and de-
clares that all his department asks Is
that manufacturers label their goods
properly and that they do not adul-
terate them.''

quire 112 pounds of nitrogen. IL
pounds of phosphorus and 100 pounds

it is often necessary to supply this
