ONE FARMERS EXPERIENCE.

Matlock, WASH, June For this
district we prefer for pasture white
clover, English rye, orchard grass;
red top for lOwiandS.
!. Pocket gophers eat red clover roots
and it dies out.
Italian rye does rot last as long as
English rye.
White clover increases and red
diminishes.
With quack or twich grass, as it is
called in England, we do not care to
disc, as every time you cut the roots
YOU make more plants. The easiest
way we have found to kill twlch grass
is not to lose a crop here where land
is so-costly to clear, but SOW oats for
hay and as soon as the crop is OF,
commence cultivating with five tooth
harrow to get the twich on top OF the
soil in body.
We think this better than discing,
for the reason that the disc cuts it up
into short pieces and the whole never
gets to the top for the sun to kill 1t.
| think any one who will try this
method will be we'll satified with the
results. >,

Train Load Of "0n-Pulr' Tractors.

The American invasion OF Canada
received reinforcement early In May,
when the Great Northern Railway
opened up a new line from the Ca.
madam border into Winnipeg, running
through it's own equipment and It's
own crews and being the first Amerl-
can railroad to have its own means or
access to the Chicago Canada.
The Great Northern already had $50
miles of railway in Canada, and this
step marks the possible beginning OF
a new Canadian railway development
on mar with the Hill systems in our
own Northwest.
If is significant that the first freight
train over this line should be one or
farm tractors, which are so closely
identified with the opening up or the
Western provinces chat in 1911 S4. w
worth of tractors were sold therein
for every man, woman and child.
This trainload, however, had another
importance in being the longest train
of agricultural machinery ever put
together. It was composed OF lO2
brand new fiat cars, four locomotives
and the necessary cabooses for the
crew and cars for the officials who
accompanied the train.
The shipment consisted Of 1Ol
Rumely oilpull tractors, 81 Rumely
separators and 139 Rumely kerosene
tanks, the total weight on the cars
being about 100 tons. The value OF
the shipment was approximately 500, :.
600 when it left the factory, duty and
freight increasing this materially. by
the time it reached its destination.
The Canadian government was richer
by s62, 600 in custom duties as a re.
suit of the passage of the shipment

student of horticultural problems.
The old orchard in the valley is
entirely free from pests, which is
something uncommon this year.
Though the fruit is light it is looking
much better than most of the orchards
in this vicinity. They also have
choice lot of dwarf fruit trees, which
are very promising.
Professor L. J. Chaplin is the agro-
nomist in charge and he is making
special work on forage plants. A
large variety of kale, marrow cabbage
and all kinds of grasses are being
thoroughly worked out SO that definite
information can be had of Western
Washington conditions. These three
men are all new men at. the station,
but they appear to be masters in their
lines, and also appear to be working
together for the common good.
The dairy and poultry department
is in charge Of Professor Blanchard,
who has been there for several years
and the dairy department is now
taking on an added interest. A
special herd of ten Jersey COWS has
been provided and extensive expert
ments as to the cost of feeding as we'll
as the entire value of production
is now in progress. The dairy barn
could we'll be taken as a model by
those desiring to put in a convenient
and thoroughly sanitary equipment.
We had no time to investigate the
poultry department but understand
it is equally as up to date as the
dairy department.
A large number of the grangers
visited the station during their stay
there, which resulted in strong res
olutions being passed requesting the
legislature to appropriate an equal
amount of money for the Western
Washington station as it appropriated
for the experimental work at Pull
man. This is entirely just, as the
Western Washington station deserves
equal support to the Pullman station.

across the border. The train itself
was a gay spectacle, being covered
with banners and carrying military
band which entertained the 100, 600
people who are estimated to have
witnessed it's movement along the
route from st. Paul to Winnipeg.
While this shipment and the open
ing of the new line Of railway are
combination of events, deserving OF
unusual interest, at the same time
the Western part of the United States
is also taking it's full share of such
machines. Shortly after the ship
ment of the big train to Winnipeg,
the same company shipped three
trainloads of machinery to Lincoln,
Nebraska, one from each of it's three
plants, bringing total of 10 carloads
more of engines and threshers to the
farmers of Nebraska.

EXPERIMENT STATION AT PUYAL-
LUP DOING GOOD WORK.

The editor of The Ranch had the
pleasure of going over the work being
done at the Western Washington
Experiment Station, during the meet
ing of the State Grange at Puyallup.
He is frank to say that he believes
the work now being done is the best
that has ever been done at this sta
ton. The faculty in charge all
appear to be experts in their lines,
and the conditions there are such that
real information can now be obtain
ed for those desiring it.
Professor George Severance, in
charge. is proving himself to be an
able and conscientious worker. He
shows great executive capacity and
every department is producing ex-
cellent results. The ground used for
the station is specially adapted to
Western w ashington conditions as
about twenty acres of it lies in the
valley and is exactly the same kind of
soil composing other valley lands,
there being some low undrained land
and some light, sandy soil. Expert
ments are now being made on each OF
these soils to show what crops are
best suited to them. The place needs
drainage very badly. In addition to
this the uplands of the station are
exactly the same logged off lands that
we meet throughout Western Wash
ington, SO that conditions are exactly
the same Less has been done with
the uplands so far than with the valley
lands. but the young orchard on the
upland is showing good results, and
the forage crop is also coming forward
in good shape and proving. apparent
ly, that vetch and clover are to be the
standard forage crop of the west side
of the mountain.
Professor j. III. Stahl is the horti
culturist in charge and there is plenty
of evidence to show that he is a real
