The Investigation force at the State
Experimental station at Puyallup has
been augmented by the arrival of
Professor j. L. Stahl. The new
agronomist of Puyallup Experimental
station comes from the middle west,
and is recommended as an exceeding
ly strong man. He is already devot.
ing considerable energy to educating
the country along the lines of more
beautiful homes and public buildings.
He is right when he says that money
spent in identifying a farm is wisely
spent, even if person does not care
except to sell. The money spent in
identifying will be returned many
fold when in making a sale. He also
strongly advocates the identifying OF
school houses, churches and public
buildings scattered throughout the
farming community, paying parti-
cular attention to the surroundings.
Persons interested in this matter
should advise with Professor Stahl,
of Puyallup.

We publish in this issue resume
of the crop conditions Of the State OF
Washington, just at harvest time.
This makes pleasant reading to the
people of Washington, from the fact
that it is one of the fortunate states
in this year of extreme drought. The
states OF the east and middle west
have suffered so severely that in many
instances crops are less than half OF
the normal, but in the Pacific North
west, nearly all crops are above the
average. Oats are a little shy and
the fruit crop is decidedly short OF
last year, but otherwise the crop con-
ditions are first class. The state will
probably harvest at least 30, 600, OoO
bushels of wheat, according to best
knowledge at hand. Last year it was
26, 600, 600 bushels. Deputy Grain
Inspector Stivers, says the state will
harvest 35, 600, 600 bushels of wheat.
We sincerely hope that it is true.
The hay crop is also good crop.
The potato crop will fall below the
average. On the whole the people of
the Pacific Northwest have great cause
for rejoicing at the outlook.

city of st. Paul from December 18th
to 23rd. This is composed of bust
nessmen and wide awake farmers from
all parts of the Northwest, and the
land show to be held this fall will
probably be the greatest show held in
the West. They have 1850 feet of
floor space for exhibits, and 5000 for
wall space. Thus it will be seen that
every part of the west can be proper
ly represented.

Agriculture in High Schools.

Yakima county high schools are also
to adopt agricultural courses. This is
one of the most important steps any
high school in an agricultural country
can take. If boys and girls leaving
high school could have some practical
knowledge Of the soil and it's products
along with the theoretical knowledge
obtained from books there would be
life work. AS it is, the average high
school has led the farmer boy and
girl away from the land until it is
seldom that you find young people
returning to the farm. but they take
up some profession or go to the city
in hopes of quicker wealth and more
rapid progress in life. Though they
are disappointed, ninety-nine times
out of hundred, years of city life
spoils them for farming. They be-
come practically useless to the city
and farming suffers for want of care.
The result has been that the cities
have outgrown the country to such an
extent that it is a serious question as
to where future supplies shall come
from. The back to the farm move
ment of the city people is of little
benefit. No more pitiable sight is
seen in the country than the average
city folks, used to street cars, fine
clothes and Office work, going into
the country and attempting to make
a living, having had no practical ex-
perience along farming lines. Unless
they are willing to economic, work
hard and learn increasingly, with some
means at hand, failure is certain.
But the boys and girls raised on the
farm who go to the city often broaden
out and after seeing the foibles, snob-
bishness and hard struggles of the
average man to live and support a
family, often return to the country,
satisfied that they can be more in
dependent, make more wealth and
live longer and happier and often
make the best farmers in the country.
Our effort in school should not be SO
much to get city folks to the land as

We are in receipt of premium list

The Puyallup fair is the one real old
fashioned fair of the state. 1t has
steadily extended it's influence for

Washington. The prizes offered are
valuable and will recompense people
who take the trouble to enter the fair,
though the financial return is the least
Of the benefit to be derived in making
an effort to be represented at any
fair. The management have also
made new department this year in
order to inter est young people. They
have offered prizes for the best boy

People in the Wenatchee valley are
among the most fortunate in the
country. While other fruit districts
we're seriously damaged by the frost,
Wenatchee seems to have not suffered
at ell, and their immense apple crop
will be as large as last year, which
was record breaker. One OF the
best orchards in the valley is owned
by o. G. France, who last week closed
a contract to sell his entire crop at
81. so per box, orchard run. 1t Is
said there will be eleven thousand
boxes of apples. This is one of the
best fruit sales ever recorded.

to keep farmer folks on the farms and
away from the cities. There has d
wonderful change come over the
American people during the last ten
years. The hayseed with his whiskers
has ceased to be the leader of the
funny page. The farmer is being
judged at his true worth. and he can
look in pity on the man who is oblig-
ed to live in the smoke and noise of a
great city.

Guy Mel. Richards, formerly editor
of the Horn and Hoof has decided
that newspaper work is too slow, and
has gone into real estate. He has
been made manager of the Calvin
Philips big tracts of land on WILDLY

lands in the state, and Mr.. Richards
should assist in selling them to people
who will improve them. Mr.. Richards
will still control the publication at

Some of the leading men Of Belling-
ham have entered into an organiza-
ton in order to assist in getting log
ged-otf lands in Whatcom county
cleared preparatory to selling them to
settlers. A large stump pulling con-

is believed by doing this work in
large contracts, the cost can be very
much reduced. The average price is
said to be 1926. 90 per acre for clearing.

Memorial to Governor Hay.

Honorable Marion E. Hay, Governor
of the State of Washington:
We Your memorialists, the Whatcom
County Pomona Grange of the Patrons
of Husbandry, respectfully represent:
That the demand for a more effective
system Of primary and secondary
education, by which the pupil may be
fitted in part for the place it must
fill in life is becoming more and more
insistent:
That as thinking men and women
we cannot longer approve OF an educa-
tional system which fits only for the
SO called learned professions Ito
which only one per cent of our youth
will gravitate) thus making our high
school unattractive to young people
and largely a waste of time even to
course.
Wherefore. we respectfully ask you
to appoint non partizan commission,
to consist Of the State superintendent,
one high school principal from east OF
the Cascades and one from the west,
one county superintendent from east
of the Cascades and one from the
west, one person to be- nominated by
the State College, one member of the
Grange, one member of the Farmers
Union, and one from organized labor,
to formulate such amendments to the
school laws as will make obligatory
the teaching of the use of tools,
domestic science and agriculture, in
the grammer and high schools Of the
state.
Presented by Charles e. Cline.
Referred to Resolutions Committee.
Reported favorably.

The above memorial represents the
ideas of the leading Changers of the
state on the subject of the more
practical education in our public
schools. We believe that it is the
move in the right direction. and
would like to see the Governor ap.
point committee of able men to take
up this matter.
