factory. We just read an account of
the association in Whatcom county
which proved to have been very sue
cessful and the Reporter of Nooksack
has published letter from two boys
telling how they prepared their soil
and raised their crops. Arthur Col
Inns, of Goshen, produced potatoes at
the wonderful rate of 1866 bushels to
the acre. The principal fertilizer he
used was chicken manure. He says
that he applied this half inch deep
before ploughing the ground and after
ploughing the ground gave it another
coating of the same fertilizer. The
potatoes we're planted on the 28th day
of March. Arthur Barnes, of Boiling
ham, fourteen years old, raised nearly
as many potatoes per acre. He also
used chicken manure fertilizer but
did not plant his potatoes until the
14th of May. There is great deal of
satisfaction in these contests as it
teaches the boys farming in a practi
cal way.

The state legislature is to be asked
this year to appropriate $500, 600 that
Washington may be appropriately
represented at the Panama Exposition
at San Francisco in 1915. 1t will be
a matter of considerable pride to the
state If showing was made costing a
half million dollars, but really it is
difficult to understand where the
state would benefited by an expendi-
ture of that much money. Every man
who has given the matter any thought
is satisfied that the opening of the
Panama canal will bring hundreds of
thousands immigrants to the Pacific
Coast. The wisest thing to do is to
prepare for these people so they may
be self supporting and not a burden
on the public after their arrival.
Upon the completion of the canal it
is probable that large per cent of
the immigrants which now stop at
New York City will come to the Coast,
and will be made up largely of the
immigrants of southern Europe who
are more apt to crowd into the cities
than into the country. 1t will take
serious effort to get these people onto
the land where they belong and away
from the city where they are not
wanted. If arrangements could be
made so they could purchase our
logged-off lands and have assistance
in getting them cleared they could
be self supporting and become good
citizens, but no man who is without
means can buy land on the Pacific

did we we're unable to find it, The
show, however, was a worthy one in
every way. The showing of Baldwins
was the finest we have ever seen, and
something like forty boxes we're ex-
hibited by one man, Mr. Wines, of
Bay Island, and no finer Baldwins
we're ever exhibited at any show.
They we're perfect in size, without
blemish and beautiful red. Certain
ly Eastern Washington has nothing
on Western Washington when it comes
to raising the Baldwin apple. Mr..
Wines won the beautiful Northern
Pacific c1p, and he richly deserved it.
The yellow apples grown in Western
Washington also made fine exhibit,
such as Grimes Golden, Yellow Bell
flower and Winter Banana. There
was one box of Winter Bananas which
was the finest we have ever seen,
beautiful red. The most distinct dis
appointment of the show was the dis
play of pears which was almost fail
ure. AS Western Washington has the
most ideal climate in the world for
winter pears, it is surprising that so
poor a showing was made. The people
of Puyallup deserve great deal of
credit for this boost of tree fruit in
Western Washington and we hope
next year they will be given better
patronage.

COMMISSION MEN CONVICTED.

Those farmers who have been COM
planning that they could not get
square deal from the commission men
and especially from some firms on
Western avenue, Seattle, and claimed
a combine exists to rob them OF
their just profits, have received proof
of their contention by the evidence
which was produced in the case
brought against six commission men
and tried before a Seattle jury last
week. The case was brought by H.
F. Davidson Hood River strawberry
grower representing several growers
who shipped fruit during the straw
berry season last summer to what is
known as the Producer and Dis
tributor Co., of Seattle. After the
season closed the returns we're about
$500 less than the agreed purchase
price and Mr.. Davidson and the
growers brought suit to compel pay
ment. During the trial facts we're
brought out that daily meeting was
held in one Of the offices, prices were
fixed, plans we're laid out in which
the distributors were careful to make
a good profit at the expense OF the
growers. After all evidence was in,
the jury without hesitation gave a
verdict in favor of the growers for the
full amount plus cost. Prosecuting
Attorney Murphy of King county in
view of the facts brought out says he
will at once commence suit to cause
the dissolution OF the company known
as the "Big Six We do not believe
it possible to entirely eliminate the
middlemen but it is possible to elimin-
ate the dishonest middleman and re-
duce his number. One of the most
important questions before the pro-
ducers of the county is how to do this
most effectively. When the producer
receives but 35 per cent of the con-
sumer's dollar and the 65 cents is
consumed in freight and middlemen's
profits it proves that there is a big
field for study in distribution con-
ditions.

The wide awake people of Puyallup,

The wide awake people of Puyallup,
under Messrs. Ross and Chamber
lain, have been trying to boost apple
culture in Western Washington, and
to that end gave a splendid show at
Puyallup last week. The effort, how
ever, to induce Western Washington
fruit men to exhibit proved distinct
disappointment. There was not a
single entry from King county and
scarcely any outside of Pierce county.
Even Vashon Island, which has a
splendid reputation as fruit
country, had not single exhibit.
Whatcom county, which has made a
splendid success in growing apples
did not have an exhibit, or if they

The State Good Roads Association
which met at Tacoma the first week
in September elected John P. Hart
man, Of Seattle, as president, and
chose North Yakima as the meeting
place of the association next year.
The association went on record as
approving $500, 900 for Washington
building at the San Francisco exhibit
ton, and recommended a three mill
levy for permanent road fund. At
the present time the state has a one
mill levy for a permanent road fund
viii h produces about 81, 900, 900 a
year and a three mill levy would pro-
duce more than So, OO0,0O as the
valuation of the state is constantly in
creasing. This is too much money to
be spent on roads by the present un-
satisfactory methods employed in
building roads in the state of Wash
ington. We believe the present levy
of one mill is sufficient at the present
time. According to the state high
way commissioner at least half dozen
methods are employed in the state for
road building and these show that the
cost runs from $5, 600 to $40, 600 per
mile. This last amount was spent on
state highway between Tacoma and
Seattle which did not include the
grading and was a very expensive
proposition inasmuch as the road runs
through low land. The association,
however, went on record for one
measure which is exceedingly practi-
cal and should have been done years
ago. This was to create a highway
department in every county. When
this is done and the highways placed
under charge of competent road
builder the state will get value re-
ceived for it's expense, and until this
is done it is unwise to spend so much
money on roads.

price of land is high, clearing is
expensive and poor man must have
help or credit in order to establish
himself. Let at least good part of
this money be put into something
practical so that the immigrants may
have a chance.

OPTIMISM WHY
AND WHEREFORE

Many people jump at the conclu-
sion that an optimist is merely an
unmarried man. This is unjust for
optimism is often the result of many
good fortunes other than not own
ing wife. An optimist whether he
be married or single is a man who
can make lemonade from the lemons
that are handed him. He sees the
doughnut and not the hole. He is
capable of doing all the fine and
heroic things but one. and that is to
refrain from telling his happiness to
the unhappy.
The Lexiconist Webster defines an
optimist as one who holds that every
thing in nature is ordered for the
best. He does not say that an opti-
mist is thin or fat, so we draw the
conclusion that ayoirdupois is not
essential. although it is said that
those who are the incarnation of his
definition as rule grow fat
through its practice.
Once there was a man who was
afflicted with the most abject penury,
he suffered from i'll health. a wife,
several magnificent bunions and
other sorrowfuI troubles and yet his
optimism was like unto the defect
able sunlight of May or June.
A real optimist is invariably
good mixer, although some have been
known to be as shy as newspaper is
when it refers to its own merits.
He is never stingy. When he is fired
by an eager impulse to contribute to
charity but desires to save half the
sum, he simply waits, counts forty.
if he wants to save it all he. counts
sixty. Many optimists attribute
their health to the belief that the
best way to keep well is to eat what
you don't want. drink what you don't
like, and do the things you would
rather not. He does not underyalue
a headache for while it is at its
sharpest it seems bad investment,
but when relief begins. the unex-
pired remainder is worth five dollars
a minute.
An optimist in the family promotes
joy. He rises in the morning from
a comfortable bed, gets on the out
side of a healthy breakfast, jubi-
lantly reads the news in his morning
paper and then goes happily forth
to his daily grind. spreading his rad
iating optimism among his fellow
men. When evening draws on he
adheres to some one similarly COM
Portable and discusses good natur-
edly the base ball celebrity of the
day, together with the excellent con-
dition of things in general until they
both fall to Growing together.
At the evening meal he regaIes his
home circle With the good fortune
which has befallen him during the
day and then lights his pipe as he
sinks into comfortable chair to
smoke and muse upon the good things
in general. At bedtime he ascends
the stairway to his bed chamber
where he spends the night in restfal
sleep and peaceful oblivion.
