RICHARDS OPENS WAREHOUSE.
Takes Over Puget Sound Warehouse
Property in This City.

b. b. Richards who for several
years was the local agent for the
Puget Sound Warehouse company, has
taken over the company's Zig ware
house in this city and will engage in
a general storage business.
Not only will he handle grain stor-
age, but he will be in position to
offer inducements to the mountain
farmers to store their hay and pota-
toes with him.
Mr.. Richards has been in the grain
business in Athena for number OF
years, and by strict attention to bus
iness and fair dealing has won the con-
fidenoe and esteem of the farmers aud
business men. His house has ample
capacity to handle large consignments
of grain aud produce.
He is prepared to place all grain
left at his house for storage in indi-
vidual piles, so that when the farmer
cells his grain it will be in convenient
shape for the buyer to inspect 1t.
His handling charges are reasonable,
benig 5Oc per ton. which carries the
storage of grain to the first OF July
following, and 200 per ton storage
per year or fractional part of a year
thereafter.

tanning out all dead and degenerate
berries, so as to seed only good and
live grain and produce a good crop
where no grains will fail to sprout,

Of uniformity as TO variety or strain.
This is perhaps of mere than ordinary
Importance in the case Of barley and
la one of the matters that will engage
the attention of the barley and hop ex-
hibition at Chicago in October, l011.
The barley which is used for mailing
purposes Is put through an artificial
process Of sprOuting In mass, in which
necessarily all grains arc treated alike.
1t stands to reason, however, that
where plump and thin grains, mellow
and flinty ones, starchy and albumiuous
grains are all stepped and sprouted
under like conditions they will neces-
sarily grow differently and cannot yield
a uniform malt. This causes serious
| troubles to the consumer when he
works up the malt in tho further proc.
esscs of manufacture and makes II
difficult for him to finish of n uniform
product. 1t stands to reason that
where the different kinds Of grains are
all seeded In the same soil in like man
ncr at the same season and grow under
The same weather conditions tho ber-
rics Of different characters cannot pos
sibiy develon alike. The result will be
IN uneven stand, differences in the
time Of maturing, different action In
the stack, etc.
Pedigree Grain.
Different strains Of barley will grow
differently on different soils and in
different climates.
In order to produce the best crops
which will also be the most abundant
1t Is therefore necessary to use pure
strains, or, rs the scientists call them,
"pedigEee" grain, where all the berries
are Of the same variety or strain and
will behave alike under similar condl.
tiOns. 1t Is also necessary to find by
experiment what particular strain is

improvement of Barley and Hops.
A movement Is under way to bring
about Improvement in the growing Of
barley and hops and to lay down cor
tain standards BY which they can be
valued regardless OF the personal equa-
tion.
At the present stage this movement
is crystallizing in an international bar
ley and hop exhibit, which will take
place Oct. IL 10 22, l91l, at Chicago,
III connection with the American FIX
position Of Brewing Machinery, Ma

there will be available prize fund
of over $1,000, which will be appOr-
toned to the different varieties and
strains Of the crops with q view % Civ
ing the greatest possible encourage
ment TO the farmers who raise them.
The growers who may wish to par
ticipate IN the exhibit should address
the committee on awards, 1903 Reppb-
lie building, Chicago, and ask for the
necessary application and entry blanks.
The committee on awards embraces
BOT only number Of the most eminent
experts among scientific men, growers,
dealers and consumers Of these crops,
but also specialists from the agricul-

He Was a Native Oregonian
Born in Linn County and

A. J. Willaby. who was taken to DR..
Williamson's sauitarium at Portland
several weeks ago. died Monday at
o'clock p. m. His sons. Dean and
Clyde arrived in Portland few hours
before Mr., Willaby passed away.
Mr.. Willaby was an old timer of
this section and was we'll known
throughout UmatilIa county and East
ern Oregon. In early days he was en-
gagged in the stock business, but later
in life followed farming. Some three
years ago his health began to fail and
all that medical skill could do was
to prolong bis life temporarily.
For the past year he had been de-
clining rapidly and gradually bis
mental faculties failed in sympathy
with his physical disa bilities. A
couple of months ago he was taken to
Portland. where for time be slightly
improved, but couple of weeks ago
he again became worse. His brother,
William. was constant attendant at
his bedside during the time be was
in Portland, and Mrs. Willaby aud
his sons spent some time there also.
Andrew J. Willaby was a native
Oregonian. He was born in Linn
county. Septembe 20, 1853. On o.

The remains arrived in this city
Tuesday morning from Portland and
were taken from the station to the

funeral was held at the Christian
church, the services being conducted
by Pastor Meldrnm.

does not seem right either to expect a

AMONG the important crops in the

AMONG the important crops in the
N states of the central west,
- northwest and Pacific coast
are barley and hops, both Of
which require considerable care In
cultivation. The chief market for the
better grades Of barley is the mailing
industry, which supplies principally
the brewing and distilling trades. The
principal and almost exclusive market
for hops is the brewing industry.
For number of years American
and European scientists have devoted
much inquiry to these crops for the
purpose of deciding upon which prop
critics are conditioned their value to
the consumer,
With regard to barley, there is con-
siderable difference of opinion, the
views Of American and European in
vestigators diyerging to an extent.
With regard to hops, scientific inquiry
has not yet proceeded far enough to
state with any degree of certainty
which are the leading characters of
the plant that make up its value to
the manufacturer who uses it.
Departments of Agriculture Study
Barley and Hops.
The agronomists and chemists Of the
State Agricultural colleges and several
specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture have devoted
a great deal of time to the study of
barley and hops and their improve
ment. They have been advising tho
farmers to devote attention to tho pro-
duction Of those properties in these
crops which are most desired by the
consumer. In this work, however,
they have met with considerable diff

been unable to state positively what
those properties are that the consumer
