Three New Bulletins.

The State College at Pullman has
recently issued three splendid bull
letins. One of these, Bulletin No.
"a, is ''Potato Investigation, by A.
q. Craig. This bulletin is the result
of three years experiments with the
different varieties of potatoes grown
in the Pacific Northwest, and it shows
a great amount of study. There are
also few pages devoted to the plant
ing and care of potatoes. The bull
letin can be had by addressing the
college, and it should have a wide
circulation.
Another valuable bulletin is Bulletin
No. go, on "Cherries Grown in Wash
ington." This takes up the question
of cherry growing in thorough man
ner. 1t is the result of the observa
tions of W. S. Thornber, who is known
as one of the most painstaking in
vestigators of the state college. This
describes the different kinds of
cherries grown in the state, their
value, soil requirement, etc. 1t is a
splendid bulletin, and should be in
the hands of fruit all raisers.
The third bulletin is No. 80, also
by Professor Thornber. This takes up
the question of fruit, shade and orna-
mental trees in Washington, and shows
what ornamental trees makes the
best growth. Discusses soil, moisture
conditions and describes the trees
usually grown, in a thorough manner.
1t is a valuable work. Any of these
bulletins may be had on application
to State College.

King county furnishes pronounced
and active candidate for the office of
governor in Mr.. Otto A. Case, at
present auditor of King county. Mr..
Case has been twice elected to the
office of county clerk, twice to the
office of auditor OF King county,
showing that he is strong with the
voters. Mr.. Case has issued plat
form which is really one of the most
progressive ever issued in the state,
showing that Mr.. Case is wide awake
to the demands of the tax payers of
the state of Washington. His plan
for the improvement of logged-of
land is one that meets with the ap.
prevail OF every good citizen. The plan
is to have state lands cleared under
supervision of the state, then sold,
similar to irrigation propositions.
This is sold to actual settlers on a
long time payment. Mr.. Case con-
templates only lease of the land.
This would be mistake as the land
should be sold outright at the proper
value. Mr.. Case is also friend of
the direct legislation. Altogether
Mr.. Case has a platform of great
merit and one which progressive re-
publicans can indorse.

dairy, hog raising, crops and soils,
domestic science and other things in
which the farming community is
deeply interested. Men, women, and
especially the young men and women
are expected to attend and learn
more of these important subjects.
Another school which will be held
this year will be at Cashmere, for the
Eastside, in the fruit belt in the
Wenatchee valley. The school there
will necessarily be more largely con-
fined to fruit growing, fruit packing,
etc.

The report of State Deputy Superin-
tendent Dewey brings out remark
able condition regarding school at
tendance in this state. This report
shows that only one half of the child
rem who enter the primary grades
remain to reach the eighth grade.
That is, that only one-half of all
children who enter school finish the
simplest, common branches before
leaving school. Worse than this
even, the report shows that only one
child in fifteen who enters school in
the state of Washington graduates
from the high school course. There
is a text for a sermon in these figures.
One third of all the tax payers money
paid into the state goes to the sup
port of our common schools, still not
one-half reach the eighth grade, and
only one fifteenth finish high school.
The reports show that there we're
q, 568 in the primary grade, 100 in
the eighth grade and only 2215 gradu-
ated in the high school last year, and
yet large per cent of the money
paid into the school fund goes int o
the high school from which so small a
per cent; one in fifteen, finish its
course. This would indicate that
more money should be spent in the
common school, and that no effort
should be spared to give the pupils
in the lower grades the best possible
education so that they may get some
benefit of the few years they are in
school.

ings. Year after year passes and
no reports. The tariff board and
monetary board have been several
years working already and there is
no evidence that either of them have
their work near finished. The plain
facts are, the American people de-
mand tariff reform. They are ex-
tremely tired of paying for high tariff
goods on which nobody receives any
substantial benefit save the big manu-
features If the republican party
will not give the people reduction
of tariff, they will be swept from
Office and democratic party will be
given a chance.

In late issue of The Ranch we
took up the matter of King county
fair, in an editorial, bewailing the
fact that this great county did not
support good agricultural, annual
fair We have received many compll-
mentary letters, largely from the
business men of Seattle, showing that
the business men of Seattle are more
wide awake to the benefits of such
an institution than the farmers seem
to be. They all appreciate the fact
that the farming industry does not
receive proper encouragement In
King county, and appear to be willing
to do everything they can to remedy
the condition.

According to State Horticultural

According to State Horticultural
Inspector Huntley, Western Washing
ton fruit growers may take heart. He
says that just as much money can be
made in Western Washington as East
ern Washington in raising fruits. He
says that such fruits as pears and
cherries can be grown most remark
ably on this side of the mountains,
better than elsewhere. He shows
also that an entire neighborhood
should be devoted to growing the
same kind of fruits, so that large
orders could be supplied when desired.
This has been proven by the Berry
Association at Puyallup. Formerly a
small quantity of berries we're grown
and those could not Ee sold profitably.
Now an enormous amount of berries
are grown and car load after car load
are being shipped, and good prices.

The state college will take a new
departure the coming year to bring

schools will be given in towns who

appropriation lasts. The Westside

have evaded taxation for a number of
years. The new assessment raised
the general average of fish traps about
600 per cent and raised the assessment
from S73, 600 to $3.50, 600. 1t was
intended they should bring into the
county treasury about S27, 900 in tax
es, but when the board of equalization
met recently they reduced this
amount to the old figure and the work
of the assessor seems to have gone for
nought. At this distance it is hard
to tell who is at fault, but evidently
the farmer is losing out in this matter
to the fish traps and timber interests.

with these standing committees has
always been that they are composed

appropriation is made for them and
they sit down to draw their salaries.

Farmers Of the state of Washington
take up the matter of building silos
tardily, and finally use concrete when
they build. but Grays Harbor mills
are filling orders for lumber which
will be used in building silos in Iowa.
Recently a Grays Harbor train con
sisting of 20 cars, was sent direct
from Grays Hat Dor to Des Moines,
Iowa, with timber especially designed
and cut for the building of Iowa
silos. Another unaccountable feature
presents itself when Washington
woods are sent to Europe for street
paving purposes, and the very cities
which cut these woods are being
paved with concrete or vitritied brick.
Washington will be a more prosperous
state when it's citizens uses it's great
natural resources at it's doors instead
of grasping unknown resources from
other states and nations.
