SET OUT A STRAWBERRY PATCH
THIS FALL.

Messrs. Editors: Those who were
so unfortunate as not to be able to
set strawberry patch last spring,
which was the proper time, need not
be discouraged and fail to do it this
year. This is especially true Of the
South, where the fall is late and
mild, and the plants will grow well
and set their fruit buds.
While setting strawberry plants in
the fall requires some skill and care
to insure success, 1t may readily be
done IL the conditions are complied
with. The soil should be reasonably
rich and prepared in good tilth,
blowing and narrowing until this
condition is secured. Go to a neigh
Dor who has a patch Of good berries

but | would prefer those grown near
by. II the soil is dry. 1t is best to
thoroughly water the bed from which
the plants are to be taken few
hours in advance Of their removal.
otherwise there Is risk that the
roots of the plants may be injured
II taken from hard. dry bed. Care
must also be exercised not to allow
posed TO the sun and air too long
as they are easily injured il allowed
10 become too dry. 1t is a good
plan to take boxes to the patch and
with a garden trowel carefully dig
up young plants from between the
rows OF older ones. putting them in
boxes Carry them to the places
where they are to be set, and stretch
line lengthwise of the space. Care
fully set q plant ander or beside the
line every foot. Be careful to not get
them too deep or too shallow, and
press the earth close to the roots.
Move the line three or four feet and
set another row. and so on until the
patch is completed. Water the plants
il the weather Is dry. 1t may be
necessary to water them two or three
times after transplanting, II the
weather continues hot and dry, until
the plants take start to grow.
Do not fail to cultivate the soil
Thoroughly until cool weather stops
all growth Such a late patch, set
even up to the last of September, will
probably yield fair supply OF fruit
the coming year.

PUT YOUR NAME ON.
1t Pays to Label Fruit and Vegetable
Packages.


Packages.
Messrs. Editors: The practice OF
labelling or branding fruit and veg
etable packages is a point worthy
Of some consideration. A great
many growers fail to grasp the i'm
portance of this feature. particularly
with reference to the sale of their
produce each successive year. They
seem to hesitate about the small
additional expense incurred by this
operation, and do not consider that
the money spent in this way will
result in a quicker and more profit
able sale Of their products during
coming seasons.
The man who puts up an homes;
pack of first-class fruits or vegetables
in uniform, well constructed packages
need never fear that the money
spent for attractive labels will be
wasted. For instance. a grower. after
carefully grading and packing his
produce. puts his label on each pack
age; they 60 to market, are exposed
for sale. buyer purchases them. and
upon examining the contents finds he
has received full value for. his money.
He Immediately looks to see where
the product came from. and by whom
packed. The next time he has to
purchase this same product. whether
the same season or next, he looks for
this brand. Thus the label has ac-
complished two purposes; it has been
a guarantee. and has served as a
means of advertising.
There are two styles of labels used
in marking fruit and vegetable pack
ages. the ordinary stencil or stamp.
and the one printed ON paper to be
pasted on the package. The former
usually has the name of the variety
contained, where. and by whom
grown. The latter. in addition to
this, may be made up in colors and
have a picture Of the kind Of pro-
duce for which it is to be used.
Either style is good. but with condi-
tions as they exist to-day. the neatel
and more attractive the label, the
quicker it catches the eye Of the pub.
lie, and as a result, the more ready
the sale. particularly when the pro
duce is in first-class condition. The
one thing to be avoided in labelling
any fruit or vegetable package is thu
placing of label of first-class o.
fancy" grade produce on package
containing second-class or inferior
grades. Practices of this kind will
invariably result in loss of botl
money and reputation.

Something original, catchy and appro-
pirate is desired. and the club would
like to see as many as possible submit
their suggestions. The contest will close

FARMERS INSTITUTE PROGRAM
State College Men Will Talk to
Farmers
AT Newport, Saturday, March 5th

The Farmers Institute, to be held at
Kelly's Hall Saturday, March D, Is at
tracing great deal OF attention from
farmers of this section, and indications
are that there will be large attendance.
Many are coming from quite distance
to take advantage of the meeting.
The representatives OF the State Col
lese, who are conducting the institute,
will arrive in Newport on the $50 a. m.
I. & W. \. train, and the first meeting
will be opened promptly at 10 a. m. The
afternoon session begins at l 80 p. M.
A special invitation is extended to the
farmers wives to De present at these
meetings. The talks on the dairy ques-
ton will be OF especial interest to the
ladies.
A glance at the program published be-
low will show that the topics to be dis
cussed are all of vital interest to the
agricultural development of this section.
The speakers are all men OF recognized

and the message they bring to the farm
ing community cannot help to be OF
benefit. The state pays the expense OF
holding these meetings, and the public
should avail itself OF the opportunity.
The presence of the town people and
business men is also urged. Following
is the program of the days discussions:

These facts should cause the people of
Newport to feel much pride in their
public school system. When it is con-
sidered that the high school is only four
years old, that it now maintains full
four-year course of study, is an accred-
tied high school, and will graduate a
class OF four pupils this year, with the
prospects of larger class each succeed
ing year, there Is need for marvel at
this rapid growth, and this especially
when one stops to consider that many
towns much older and as large as New
port have not yet accredited high schools.
The high school teachers are all col
lege graduates, and have had some little
experience as instructors. The board of
directors have spared neither pains no r
money in maintaining the present eff
cheney of the school. Much praise and
credit, then, is due both teachers and
the board of directors for the fact that
the high school is now on the accredited
list.
The high school offers two courses,
the classical and the scientific. These
include such subjects as English, Latin,
German. history, algebra, geometry,
physics, chemistry, botany and physiog-
raphv The laboratories are amply
equipped, while the library is supplied
with about 600 bound volumes and is
completely catalogued This years
graduating class will be the first to 60
forth from the high school as an accred-
ited high school, and the occasion will
mark an epoch in the history of our
schools long to be remembered.
Deputy County Superintendent Foster
visited the schools during the early part
OF the week, and paid them a high COM
pliment for the efficiency and quality OF
the work being done throughout the
grades.
The character of the schools OF COM
| munity always presents fair scale ol
the prosperity and progress of that COM
| munity. Judged on this basis the in
habitants of Newport have occasion to
exhibit much pride in their public school
system, and especially in the high school

O. N. Ry- Gets New Equipment.

. The construction of a railroad for the
purpose of logging off the timber hold
ings OF the Panhandle Lumber Co. in
township 81. range As, west and north of
Newport, is being planned by the I. &

of its holdings in this township, which
include all the odd numbered sections.
within the next few years. In order to
reach this timber economically log
ging railroad will be necessary. The
road will leave the main line at the we.
half mile west of town.
1t is planned to build the road this
year and to continue the work of logging
until all of the company's holdings in
the township are taken off. which will
require four or five years and will mean
large payroll for this vicinity.
The Great Northern has placed orders
for spring delivery for passenger equip

built for the company in the east, for
delivery within the next three months,
the following passenger equipment:
Fourteen diners, 80 first-class standard
sleepers. q compartment observation
cars, 10 parlor cars, 67 coaches, 10 COM

NEWPORT SCHOOLS RATED HIGH
Placed on Accredited List By
State University
Are Making Remarkable Showing

1t will be a source of much gratifica-
ton to the patrons of the Newport pub
lie schools 10 learn that the high school
has been accredited by the State Board
Of Higher Education OF the State OF
Washington, at meeting recently held
by that body in the city OF Spokane.
The accrediting OF the Newport High
School places the institution on par
with the other four-year high schools in
the state, so far as education privileges
and recognition are concerned. Finan-
ciallv the district will receive an addi-
tiOnal S400 apportionment each year in
consideration OF maintaining an accred-
tied four-year high school. Education
tionallv the privilege accruing from be-
ing an accredited high school consists in
the fact that its graduates will be al
lowed to enter the higher institutions of
learning in this state without being re-
quired to undergo the entrance examin-
atione. As other states recognize the
state OF Washington as being a leader III
educational work, it will mean that the
higher institutions OF learning Of these
states will recognize the diplomas Of the
accredited high schools OF Washington,
and graduates from its high schools will
be permitted to enter their institutions
without having to take the entrance ex-
aminations.
Prof. Meisnest, high school Inspector
for the State Board Of Higher Education
and also for the [ University Of Washing
ton, visited the Newport High School
recently. and paid the school a high
compliment for the excelency OF the
work being done He stated that the
high schooI was excelentiv equipped
with apparatus, that the library was
we'll supplied with books necessary to
effectively carry on the work OF the high
school, and that the instruction being
given by the teachers deserved high
commendation He also asserted. at
that time. that he saw no reason why
the Newport High School should not be
accredited this year, and, furthermore,
that the character of the work would
