IRRIGATION OF new SOILS

On new lands there is little
danger in using too much water for
the first two seasons after reclama-
ton begins. Many of our western
soils have never been wet to a depth
OF two feet, at least since the eli
mate began to be arid, and most OF
our soils have probably been formed
since that time. Before these soils
can be put in the best producing
condition they need to be so thoroly
saturated with moisture that the
subsoil is we'll saturated or there is
a union of the free water near the
surface with that which constitutes
subsurface drainage.
This movement of what is known
as film moisture downward into the
soils occupied by plant roots and
into the drainage does many things
which improve its cropping capacity.
If the moisture increases downward
the roots of the plants are induced
to grow deeply into the soil and es-
tablish permanent and important
feeding system. The importance
of deep roofing, especially with
perennial plants, can hardly be
underestimate, and where the sub
soil remains dry deep roofing will
not occur.
The first irrigation, therefore,
should be abundant and continued
for long enough time to soak deep
ly into the subsoil. OF course much
will depend on the character of the
soil, its depth and porosity. If a
crop is being grown which will not
stand the flooding for sufficient

APRe1TY FIELD OF WHEAT

A Times reporter had an oppor-
tunity on Tuesday of driving out to
the J. L. Harper place, which is
farmed by James Kinder, to inspect
the new variety of wheat which Mr..
Harper has propagated and which
he has named Coppei. Mr.. Har-
per has field of % acres of this
new wheat this season which is
without question the prettiest piece
of growing grain we ever saw. The
heads are large and well filled and
what makes the grain so particular
ly noticeable is the evenness of the
heads, each straw seemingly being
within a half-inch of the same
height.
Those who are familiar with
wheat have no hesitancy in stating
that this variety will yield 60 bushels
per acre this year.
1t was four years ago that Mr..
Harper, in looking over field of
wheat on the Coppei that was badly
LOGGED, noticed seven heads of wheat
standing up straight and which, on
closer examination did not look
like the regular Club variety. He
picked the heads, sending two to
the station at Pullman for examin-
atioL as to the variety. The expert
stated that it looked like an acct
dental hybrid but would plant the
grains to determine whether or not
the cross was we'll established. Mr..
Harper planted the other 5 heads
in his back yard and finally from
the yield of those few grains was
able last fall to put in % acres.
Many farmers are asking for seed
and this season a thorough test will
be made of its milling qualities to
see whether Or not the new variety
possesses any particular value to
the miller. -Waitsburg Times.

EXAGGERAIloNS

Possibly there is no other busi-
ness in the world today where the
buyer depends to 50 great an ex-
tent on the honesty Of the advertiser
as in the poultry business. In the
vast number of journals published
today, thousands Of breeders are
offering their stock and eggs for
sale. Hundreds of thousands OF
probable buyers are reading these
advertisements. Should they be
misled by the slightest exaggeration
of the merits of the stock they in
tend buying, of the quality OF the
pens from which they desire eggs?
Great are the poultry journals to-
day who are endeavoring to protect
their readers from the unscrupu-
lous breeder, who has yards full Of
birds scoring SO points, and hens
with egg records soaring close to
the 800 mark.
True it is that any business will
have it's vultures, ready to misrep-
esent and prey on uninitiated, but
hasten the day when the great host
OF poultry lovers will drive this
class of breeders out of the bust
ness.
Each year we find more and more
people becoming interested in poul-
try. The farmer has awakened to
the possibilities of the business; the
busy business man has taken up
poultry as a relaxation from his
always busy life; the laborer, for
the good, fresh eggs that 60 into his
dinnerpail. In fact, poultry has
swept the country, and to keep the
business on high plane will re-
quire determined effort on the
part of every breeder to never mis-
represent, never take advantage of
the novice, and, above all, give the
buyer his or her full moneys worth.
Honesty is, after all, the best
policy and surely can be put to
practical use in the great and grow
ing greater poultry business.
Let us as breeders confine our
selves to facts. If we have, thru
hard study and work, built up a
heavy-laying strain, and certain
pen or flock has made the wonderful
average of ITO or $50 eggs per hen,
let US SO advertise; do not call it
200.
If any OF US have produced a
given number of high-scoring birds
and under a good Judge have scored
80 points, do not let us stretch it
to 95.
A satisfied customer is a good
customer. An honest breeder is a
credit to the business, a credit to
himself, a credit to the journal in
which he advertises.-Ex.

In Orchard and Field
qHappenngs of Moment the Man Behind the Plow

length of time, the irrigation should
be done by running water through
burrows or corrugations. One of
the apparent reasons for beginners
failing to get maximum crops on
new soils is that they do not under
stand the necessity of filling the
subsoil with moisture which both
supplies the roots Of the plants and
does many things to bring the land
into proper condition of tillage.
After the soil has once become
wet it will absorb water much more
readily and as there is a partial
supply of moisture stored in the
subsoil much less water will be re-.
quired to secure what we may call
thorough irrigation. 1t is after
the land has been irrigated few
seasons that the danger of over-irri-
cation is greatest. Over-irrigation
is much more. apt to cause trouble
on heavy soils, or those without
good drainage. Here the water
stands for a long time on the surface,
partially or wholly drowning the
crop and destroying useful bacteria,
or preventing them from accomplish
ing work because of the lack of air.

HONEY PRICE FOR
YEAR IS DECIDED

The price of honey produced in
the Yakima valley will be fixed at
II 10 cents in the comb and 8 1-3
cents extracted. at meeting of the
Yakima Valley Beekeepers' Asso-
citation to be held the first Wednes-
day in August according to a pre-
diction made by Jesse w. Thornton,
president of the organization.
The visible crop in the valley now
is so tons, according to members OF
the association, who held the quar-
terly meeting recently, and it is
predicted that the seasons produc-
ton will run to 200 tons.
The big honey harvest comes with
the second crop of alfalfa, which
will not be fully developed for a
fortnight. It is stated that the out.
look for heavy honey harvest is
good because of the remarkably
large harvest made by the bees from
the first crop of alfalfa.
While about half of the valleys
production is shipped to Seattle
and other outside points, beekeepers
are planning to deliver the rest of
their product direct to the local
consumers to eliminate the middle
mans charge.

Elephant 1oothacho.

A London surgeon who had been for
many years In India says he would
sooner risk a railway accident than
meet an elephant with toothache. 1t
appears that toothache affects an ele'
phant in a more severe manner than
It does any other animal. Elephants
have very sensitive nerves. and a
touch Of toothache often brings on
madness. Provided you are able to
chain down an elephant and draw out
the offending tooth. the brute Is GER

phant In Bengal. India. became az
fected with toothache. but the keepers
managed to secure 1t while a dentist
drew a decayed tooth-the cause of the
trouble. After "A time the elephant
seemed to understand that the dentist
was trying to do sonnet hing for his
pain, and be gave every evidence Of
approaching the attention. When the
operation was over he frisked round
the dentist like young lamb.

This is the poorest appearing school, and

facts are taken into consideration con-

the property The school board should
visit it occasionally and pay attention to
its needs. There is no step to the front
door. and children have 70 climb into the
vestibule. The pump is out Of commits
sion and lays in the vestibule. This school
needs more common sense and less con

the best results from the school. 1t is
their own children who are the sufferers
from the petty jealousies. The School
Commission must look after this school.
Rising Sun. Here is really one of the
finest schools in the county located in a
rural district. The principal is man of
capability, who is respected and supported
BY the school board, while the property
is well painted and in excellentcondition.
All conditions were clean and attractive.
Magnolia. Here is a school building
which was we'll built and has ample
grounds surrounding it, but it has never
had the attention, or the care given to it
like other school buildings even in smaller I
places for instance at Rising Sun. The
building was in bad shape few years
ago, and the School Commission called
halt in the neglect at that time, which
resulted in a general repair but it all
seems to have ended with that. The
present corps of teachers have done their
part, by keeping the school rooms clean
and neat as possible and there is a great !
in every way, but all has !
not been done that should be done by a
long shot If the members of Magnolia .
school board will go to Frederica or Ris- ,
ing Sun, and note what has been done
there, they will find commendable pat
terms to follow First of all the building
and grounds need cleaning and paint.
