Successward.

Miss Annie S. Peck, the famous
mountaineer, was talking at a garden
party in Boston about her contem-
plated climb in the Andes.
ITO what" said a girlhood friend
from Providence, do you attribute.
Miss Peck, your success as a noun
taineer?"
Simply to perseverance, to assid-
uity." the other answered. THAT ia
the secret Of all success. A great de-
partment store keeper put the idea,
though, more neatly than / have done.
At a birthday dinner he said: I at.

VIII Send Exhibit to Spokane

es, root crops, etc. raised in the vicin-
ity of Pullman will be on display at
the Spokane Interstate Fair, October
2 to s, if the plans of the Chamber of
Comm cree materialize. Pullman has
been assigned booth 15X15 feet by
the fair management and some time
ago the Chamber promised to send

thing in the nature of grains, fruits,
vegetables or grasses that would at
tract attention is requested to bring
1t to the Chamber of Commerce head
quarters at any time within the next
two weeks. Attach to the sample a
card or paper bearing your name and
information concerning the contribu-
ton, such as variety, number of BUSH

BIG YEAR FoR STATE COLLEGE

Continued from First Page.)
and so on. BY an ingeniously ar
ranged device. Professor Thorn and
co-workers are able to measure the
exact amount OF water used by the
plat in producing the cereal, or root
crop. The necessity of such infor-
nation as will be derived from this
important experiment is shown by
the fact that in Washington the
amount of water called for i'm differ
ent contracts made by various real
estate dealers in the irrigated re-
gions, varies from IS to As inches,
due, of course. to the fact that the
precise amount of water needed for
any crop under certain specific condi-
tons is often matter of surmise;
and that the amount specified in the
contract is as often regulated by the
supply of water for irrigation, as to
the actual need of the crop.
Professor Thom's experiment is the
most complete of the kind that has
ever been worked out in the United
States or in any other country.

DEMONSTRATION WORK DOING
WONDERS.
(Stanly EnterpriSe.)

h demonstration farm work in
Stanly is proving a wonderful success
Although the methods have been en-
ployed for only one year, the results
show hat our farmers are working
along right lines, and prove the bic
adage that there is more in the man
than there is in the land" The gen.
eral average Of corn in the county
has been but little more than Is BUSH
els per acre. Under demonstration
methods, only average farms were
employed. and of the 80 hat made
reports there has been a net average
of 4O.2 bushels Of corn to the acre.
Heretofore, cotton n Stanly has av-
eraged about 600 pounds Of seed cot
ton to the acre. Thirty-six of the
demonstration farms this year have
shown an average of 1,241.4 pounds of
seed cotton to the acre. This is be-
ginning to look like farming, and very
soon we shall see the Stanly farmer
making his bale and more to the acre,
to say nothing of so to rs bushels of
corn as an average. County DEM
onstrator S. A. Underwood has fur
nished us with a tabular statemSat,
showing the difference between the
new and old methods, and we. shall
publish his article in our next issue.
We are glad to see our farmers
reaching out for bigger and better
things.
