LOCAL STATION DOES
GOOD WORK
Government Inspector Commends
Work Done by Experiment Sta
tion--Mentions Wheat In.
vestigations.

A. c. True, of Washington ID. c..
inspector of agricultural experiment
stations, has been in Pullman this
week looking over the work of the
w, S. c. experiment station. He has
been coming about every four years,
since the local experiment station
was established, and expressed HIM
self as highly gratifed at the remark
able growth of the college during
that period. He seemed well salts
fed with conditions at the expert
ment station and strongly recon-
mended the work which has been ac-
complished in developing new varie-
ties of wheat and predicted that the
station will solve the problem of
finding a substitute for summer fall
lowing He also showed much in
terest in the investigation which is
being conducted regarding ground
squirrels.
Mr.. True is very quiet and I'M
assuming gentleman, but possesses
world of information regarding the
latest developments in agricultural
work. He says that while up to the
present time little attention has been
devoted to the study of scientific
marketing of farm crops, several of
the experiment stations are now be-
ginning an investigation OF this prob
lem. He highly commended the
work which has been accomplished
in the southern states by Prof. Spill
man, form erly Of the w. S. c., and
expressed regret that at the present
time Spillman is in very poor health,
as a result of over-work
In reply to an inquiry as to which
section of the country is progressing
most rapidly in agricultural develop
ment, he said that it was a hard
question to answer, as in nearly
every state marked progress is being
made along certain lines, but that
perhaps in the south more interest
is being taken In solving agricultural
problems than anywhere else. In
some of the eastern states there Is
noticeable revival of interest In the
fruit industry and in the middle west
dairying holds the center of the
STAGE
A great deal of work is being done
in Alaska where the government
maintains three experiment stations.
which have demonstrated that vege-
tables and grain can be successfully
grown in many sections, very profit
ably. One of the stations raised
several tons of hay which was sold
at 5000 ton, and then local deal
err complained to the government
that the experiment station was cut
ting prices, Potatoes have been
raised and sold at IS a bushel and
grain has matured within five de-
grees of the Arctic circle.
Mr. True was enthusiastic over
the crop prospects here as compared
with those In other states which he
has visited and said that he always
liked to be here in the summer time
on account of the delightfully."- cool
nights. He left Wednesday to in
spect the Montana experiment sta
ton.

the terms of which Spokane gets

offered the following report:
your committee on city improve
ment and sanitation begs leave to re-
port that, as this is the beginning Of
the typhoid season, we believe that a
campaign should be instituted to-
ward the prevention of this disease
In Pullman. Typhoid is more fire.
Quently spread by flies than in any
other way. There has been I'M
doubted evidence of it's spread in this
way in Pullman in both of the past
two years. Therefore, we would
recommend that dodgers be gotten
out and distributed calling attention
to the Importance of the fly as a dis
tributing agent of the typhoid and
other bacilli and also recommending
that all places where flies might
breed or become contaminated be
cleaned up. These dodgers can be
secured for about two dollars for
five hundred"
The report was adopted and the
committee authorized to have the
dodgers printed and distributed.
A telegram was read from the
Spokane Chamber of Commerce an
that the fight for lower

composed of 40 firms, corporations and

Among others we have added 10 new

Winnipeg and western Canada arc known
almost exclusively as an agricultural
country, but we want to make it a
manufacturing country also. Chicago
used to be an agricultural city-the mar
