Spies from Arthur Rogers orchard !;
a few boxes of fancy Baldwins, and
also of an orchard run from an un-
cared for orchard. Mr.. Flint will
produce figures showing the per-
centage of each grade of fruit i'll
each case.
The state agricultural college will
bear the expense and make the DEM
onstration at the apple show. Prof.
H. w. Sparks states that he Is go
ing to surprise the people of east
ern Washington by showing them
that we can raise just as fine ap-
Piles here as they can on the other
side of the range.
While Mr.. Flint is absent and
in charge of this display Floyd Tay-

here Unfortunately the entire
apple display made at the Whatcom

BUTTER TO CANADA.

The report of the dairy and
cold storage commissioner of Can
ada, j. A. Ruddick, refers to the
shortage of butter during the last
winter which made it necessary to
import supplies from other countries
nota bly, New Zealand and the u
United States. Mr.. Ruddick says:
"At first glance it may appear
strange that Canada should go al
most to the opposite end of the
earth for a portion of her butter
supply, but when it is considered
that the freight and duty g cents
per pound under the preferential
tariff on freshly made butter from
New Zealand amounts to a
bout the same as the cost of carry
ing the Canadian article from June
July or August to the month of
March, to say nothing of the loss
through deterioration in the quality
of the butter, the matter is not so
surprising after all"
The total quantity of butter i'm
ported by Canada during the fiscal
year ended March 81. 1912, was
S,S74,5S7 pounds of the value of
S1,O16,418, the imports from New
Zealand being >-2.1S9,944 pounds
$569,171; Australia, 1O1 $40 pounds
S21,642: United States, 923,991S
pounds, s223.S41, and Great Brit
ain, 100000 pounds, $2O1,219. The
exports of butter during the same
fiscal period amounted to 8,S4.4, ,402
pounds OF the value of $$2.O77,916.

HIGH LAND SEEDING.
(By Fl. L. Blanchard, Western Wash.
ington Experiment Station)

More than one year ago the writer
began earnestly to advise all farmers
who were cropping gravelly or sandy
locations that were usually too dry
for vegetable growth during the late
summer and fall months, to plant such
lands in the fall, at least for several
seasons, until such time as sufficient
humus had accumulated in the soil,
whereby it would be possible to retain
sufficient moisture by cultivation and
otherwise, to insure fully mature
crop from spring planting. Many farm
ers acted on the suggestion, and re-
port most excellent results in prac-
tically every case. Many by planting
spring vetch with spring oats secCr-
ed a maximum crop of forage and hay,
and on land that heretofore had scar
cely grown enough crop to warrant
the expense of harvesting. The re-
suits so far as we can learn, fully
warrant the practice, and there will
be much more fall seeding this year
than ever before, throughout Western
Washington. These results show con-
clusively that much of our gravelly
and sandy soils contain much larger
supply of available plant food than
had previously been supposed that
they did, and that it was chiefly a
matter of securing right moisture con-
ditions in order to insure a profitable
crop.
Another thing that fully confirms
such theory is the fact that an ex-
ceptionally favorable season as re-
CARDS the favorable distribution Of
sunshine and showers has been fol-
lowed by probably the largest harvest
for many years. Thus it is that the
question of irrigating our dry soils
is being much discussed at the pres
ent time. But comparatively few
farmers in Western Washington find
1t to be practical for them to install
any system of irrigation, for some
time to come at least. The practical
thing for such farmers to do then Is to
utilize the seasons rainfall as it comes
and fix upon a system of fall planting
wherever possible to do SO. Rye,
yetch, wheat and oats, and even
clover, sown in various combinations,
can be depended upon when planted
in good seed bed between Sept. 1st
and No. 15th-and sometimes later
for an abundance of early forage, Sill
age and hay. From one and One-half
to two bushels of either of the grains
mentioned with so to 60 lbs. OF spring
vetch, per acre, is good seeding; ~
lbs each of Italian and English rye
grasses with 10 lbs. of clover, per
acre, can safely be used when eseding
to grass. Also 20 lbs. of the rye gras-
ses and 10 lbs. OF clover.

MESSAGE OF The
MILWAUKEE BULLET
By A FEDERAL OFFICIAL.

In moment the shouting and the
tumult died and the question from
millions of faltering lips and tear
full eyes came on the wings of night
asking if the great captain of deeds
were to be far called away in the
hour when his country needs him
most; in an instant. in the twink
ling of an eye, the nagry clamor and
clatter of thoughtless tongues ceas'
ed.
A mental inventory was taken
and then we saw ourselves as Eu-
rope sees us. blackening the reputa-
ton of our leading citizen.
Our people are wonderfully quick
and frank to make acknowledgment
when they realize that they have
done public men a wrong. They in
stantly became judges and jury in
their own case and convicted them
selves at once of unworthy assault
on personal character, absolutely in
consistent with the truth and proof
easily ascertainable.
Since the shooting at Milwaukee
big democratic rally at Philadel-
phia was completely broken up by
500 democrats who left because the
principal speaker had INDUCED In
abuse of Colonel Roosevelt.
This period of unrest and uncer-
tainty should be gotten over quick

the nations of Europe in their stead

beneath a burden that is fast crush
ing out life and health and hope
The human standard must be raised

PRIZES FOR HOGS At SHOW
Premium List for Exhibition Of Fat
Porkers Completed at Pullman.

Porkers Completed at Pullman.
Pullman.-The premium list for
Pullman's first hog show, December
7, has been completed. The list is
long and covers all classes of hogs
There will be first, second and third
prizes for each class, and prizes are
liberal. Most of the prizes will be
paid in cash. The reason for giving
three instead Of two prizes, is to get
a larger display of hogs and offer more
encouragement for farmers to com
pete. There are many first prizes of
$50 cash. with second prize of SIS,
and third prizes Of $40. In the indi-
vidual classes the prizes run SO for
firsts, $6 for seconds and $3.50 for
thirds. The total amount of cash
prizes will run close to $1,000
Farmers in the neighborhood of
Pullman are taking deep interest in
the hog show. Many of them have
begun fattening hogs for the fat show
and preparing the stock animals for
show purposes. 1t Is planned to have
several hundred pure bred hogs on
exhibition and there will be a lot of
fat hogs shown.
