kaIe As a Ration !.
For Dairy Cattle

Why not plant kale? tits raised
in this county only to alimited ex-
tent, the reason being, we presume.
that it's value is not better known:
Those who have tried growing ana
feeding it find the yield enormous
and that it more than fills the place
of silage, furnishing as it does more
nearly a balanced ration. Last year
an acre of it was raised on one OF
DR.. V. ]. Capron's rented farms
which the doctor says produced
enough to feed twenty cows three
months or more. DR.. Capron figures
the yield in tons this way: 5000
plants per acre producing lOlbs.
Der plant equals $4,000 pounds or
twenty five tons. This quantity
should, we think, be sufficient for
twenty COWS four months and DR..
Capron thinks so too, but in consent
ing that the Islander might quote
him he advised lowering estimates to
general averages. There is one
variety known as the Thousand
headed kale," which produces a very
nutritious fodder which can be used
during the fall and early winter to
supply green feed which at that time
is apt to be scarce. Kale will thrive
in soil suiteI to cab bage. The plants
should be set three feet apart each
way for economical cultivation, or
if ones space is, limited they might
be set in rows three feet apart and
one and half feet apart in the rows.
If the plants are not too close they
usually grow larger and in good soil
will generally occupy the spaces
mentioned here. If sown thicker
the plants will not grow so large.
Some say the small plants furnish
just as good feed as the large ones
but this is not the case with other
forage crops when the growth is
much below normal.

The Need Of Sewers

It is realized by everyone that
Friday Harbor needs some better
drainage. The ground is becoming
more or less saturated with sewage
and in danger of har boring infection.
The question is now under discussion
by the city council. The greatest
hindrance to establishing a COM
plete sewerage system is the lack of
funds. There is money enough,
however, to make beginning and
the property owners should be will
ing to do their share. AS a start it
is suggested that a 10-inch sewer
drainage pipe be laid from Argyle
avenue, bark of the new hospital,
and running parallel with Spring
street and across First street. behind
the bank building, and thence on
into the bay. The drainage pipe
would be increased in size at First
street. probably, to receive con-
Meeting sewer there and other con-
nections would be provided for to
receive the sewage from all property
along Spring street below Argyle
avenue. The need of some sewer
age system should be apparent to
everyone. All property owners in
terested should attend the special
meeting of the council appointed
for next Tuesday evening to consid-
er the matter.

Horticultural Inspection

Under the law relating to horti-
cultural inspectors as amended by
the last legislature counties have the
privilege Of paying for assistant in
spectors. We have not read the en-
tire text of the law but extracts
from it give the impression that
county commissioners .may appoint
as well as make appropriations for
paying ''local" assistants. Quite
likely the matter may be considered
at the next meeting of the board Of
commissioners which falls on next
Monday. Here may be chance to
obtain safer job than dog catching
though the one who gets it and
does his full duty will get some
kicks. The duties Of the Office are
such as require man possessing
stamina enough to enforce the law
as well as to suggest when it ought
to be enforced. The ones who most
need the presence of an inspector
are usually accommodating enough
to promise to follow his advice and
generally thoughtless enough to for
get the promise as soon as the in
spector is out Of sight.

Record prices for livestock mark
ed the first fat stock show held un-
der the direction of the Pacific
Northwest Livestock Association in
Portland during the past week.
The champion steer of the show sold
for $409. or $26 per 100 lbs. on foot.
Breeders who attended were pleased
with the stock shown and the prices
paid. They declared Portland is the
highest market in the United States
and that this will eventually become
the livestock center of the North
west.
The Yakima Valley is the latest
section of Washington to celebrate
the opening of new railway.
During the week the North Coast
Railroad started service from Walla
Walla to North Yakima and the
event was marked by demonstra-
tion by the commercial club and
citizens, in which the railway inter
ests joined. The constantly gro owing
| farming and fruit country in the
Yakima Valley will'be brought into
closer touch with Portland by the
new railway.
Basing the value Of farm lands on
what they produce, then intrinsi-
cally the farm lands of Washington
are among the most valuable lands
in the United States. This is the
conclusion of one of the leading
financial public tions of the country.
The average value Of crops per acre
in the United States is trifle under
$21. The average in Washington
was $23 on the 1909 crop. The
crops referred to are wheat, oats,

Frultgrowers to Organize
Central Selling Agency Value
of Washington Farm Lands

Seattle. March 90. Indications
are favorable to an early organiza-
ton OF the fruitgrowers of the
Northwest into a Central Selling
Agency along the plan outlined at
the Walla Walla conference. Nine
associations of horticultural men
have already endorsed the plan and
the Wenatchee Commercial Club has
adopted resolutions favoring it,
following careful Investigation.
The Freewater, Ore, growers are
also in sympathy with the movement.
Editorial endorsements have been
in the leading newspapers of the
Northwest. 1t is pointed out that
the growers have everything to gain
by such an amalgamation, in the way
of power to adjust the supply to
trade requirements. thereby insuring
stable market conditions. Nothing
will be lost, that is not already lost
through unorganized, slipshop
methods that array districts with
identical unorganized inter ests
against each other. There have
been some fears expressed that the
proposition is a bigger one than the
fruitgrowers can handle, but a lead
Ell is always found when condition
arises that calls for special talents.
Nothing is more strikingly exempli-
fed than modern commerce, in this
regard, which always produces the
needed men.
That the -Guggenheim
syndicate intends to relinquish some
of its sidelines is evidenced by the
recent transfer of the Northwestern
Fisheries Company to the Booth Fish
Company of Chicago and New York.
The property involved includes nine
of the largest canneries on the
/ Alaskan coast, seven sailing vessels
and large quantity of other equip
ment fer extensive operations. The
consideration approximated 81 AGO.

been taken by the Guggenheims to
