In a description of "The Proposed

College Hybrid.

That bluestem wheat, for many
years the leading grain grown in the
Walla Walla valley, will be dis
placed within two or three years by
hybrid variety, is the opinion of
leading farmers of the Walla Walla
valley as expressed at the farmers
convention at Walla Walla. Blue
stem. they point out, has always had
faults of being a light yielder. Hy-
orids originating at the Washington
State College, they claim, do away
with all these faults, and add many
virtues that the old variety never
mad. Besides yielding better, they
are harder and do not burn as easy
as does biuestem. And the milling
quality of at least two of the hybrids
is Just as good as is that of bluestem.
which has been raised simply because
1t brings two to six cents better TO
the bushel. Many of the farmers
will plant extensively with the hy-
brids this spring.

and after having allowed arrangements
for the Lester Martin bout to go to the
point where every ticket had been sold
and a thousand or more visitors had
come from neighboring cities to see
the fight Throughout the city there
was storm of protest. Even reform
ers opposed to fights were well nigh
unanimous in critcizing the commits
sion for not prohibiting the fight two
weeks ago instead of allowing it to go
to stage where SO many outsiders
had to be "stung" The vote for a re-

result of the game still leaves ID at
the foot of the list with three games

puts that aggregation at the head of

others in the series, who have all
played three games.
