that has ever happened to the reser-
walton is the opinion OF Engineer j..
w. Martin who has been conducting
the drainage work there. Mr.. Martin
has made an examination of the well
as an official OF the government at
the request Of the department at
Washington: and has reported there
On There is a flow OF water suf-
ficient for the irrigation of 200 acres
Of land and it is the opinion of Mr..
Martin that similar wells can be con-

the convention on county division held
Friday afternoon in the Commercial
club chambers at Granger. The prog

a majority of votes, the four compro-
mise plans being voted apon with the
same results.

PREPARING TO HANDLE THE
CROPS.

The announcement that new fruit
lied to engage in the business of car
ing for the surplus crop in this section
Is cheering news for the growers, es-
pecially when 1t is coupled with the
fact that they will be ready to help
in saving this years crop.
Coupled with this is the story of
the Seattle capitalists who announce
that they will expend a quarter of a
million in the construction of a big
plant to utilize all the waste and by
products of the fruit industry of this
section. They Will plan to convert
the fruit juices and solids into all the
forms of by-products known to the
commercial world and handle the
business on such scale as to make
the plant a conservator of all the
waste that Is likely to come up in the
development of the fruit industry.
In this connection is news that an
alfalfa mill is TO be constructed in this
vicinity to convert that product into
one or more of its commercial forms,
and the plan to have machinery to
double compress the hay to make 1t
ready for foreign shipment.
All these are movements along one
line and show that preparations are
being made to handle the fruit and
agricultural products of this section
to stop the waste and bring the out
put to market in the best possible
shape. 1t Is a line of development
that will give great encouragement 10
the growers OF the district and to
those who are engaged in the produc-
ton of other products for which the
valley is noted.

DEMOCRATS Of STATE
may NEED CONVENTION
Because No State Ticket Wa.
Named in the Election Of
Two Years Ago

Beca use of the fact that at the last
general election the democrats OF
Washington named no state ticket
their candidates running on the indie
pendent non-partisan Judiciary ticket
it may be possible that the democratic
party can hold no state primaries, but
must name a state ticket by conven-
ton Section 1909 of Remington
code limits primaries to such parties
any candidate of which polled 10 per
cent of the total vote of the last gen.
eral election.
1t is claimed in Olympia that unless
w. w. Black, democrat, who got 2O,-
116 votes for congress In the Firs!
district, polled one-tenth of the total
state vote, the democratic party is
barred from primaries.
Law Was Not Observed
Although the law requires the state
canvassifg board to report the total
registration and total vote cast, this
was not done two years ago.

ment's attitude toward the homestead
err. 1t was because of such instances
as this that the demand arose for
more liberal homestead laws. and the
government has just complied with
that request and granted new regu-
lations in which the homesteader is
given more privileges.
The fact that so many omesteaders
acting in good faith have experienced
such trials and tribulations as came
to Mr.. Cook is one thing that has
driven Americans across the border
to take up Canadian lands where the
government has passed more liberal
laws and has less exacting regulations.
1t is to stop this emigration and bring
the homesteaders onto the vacant
lands of the northwest and not force
them across the border that the new
laws and regulations have been
passed. The old order Of things has
passed away and the future is
brighter for the homesteader who is
acting in good faith to convert the
public domain into farms and homes

STATE AID FOR SECURING MAR
KETS

The state board of public affairs in
Wisconsin is considering the estab-
lishment of a. bureau of investigation
for the better distribution Of farm
products, in cooperation with the ag-
ricultural college of the University OF
Wisconsin, whose function would be
to study methods of marketing in use
in Wisconsin with a view to aiding in
the introduction of improved methods
1t will be one of the duties of the
bureau to investigate the system OF
cooperative marketing municipal
markets. and public warehouses in
other states and countries ana to be
prepared to advise for or against the
establishment of similar agencies in
Wisconsin. The wastefulness of the
present system has 5long been reeog-
nized, but until recently there has
been no result other than an outcry
against the middleman. The state
authorities now propose to attack the
problem after a scientific method.

GROWERS PUT RIGHT
ON FRUIT PROSPECTS
Richey & Gilbert Company Ex-
plains Why Interpretation Of
Recent Interviews 10 Wrong

Editor Herald several interviews
have been given newspapers lately by
various shippers, all of which have
had tendency to discourage growers,
some to such an extent that growers
have been led to believe that it would
not pay them to pick and pack their
peaches .of other soft fruit. Our Mr..
H. M. Gilbert recently gave an in
terview in which he advised the hold
ing back of some 200 cars of the
inferior and pale stock. This has
been interpreted to the effect that no
peaches were going to be worth the
picking and packing. This is a mis-
representation.
Prepared for Large Trade
Our firm alone is prepared and will
distribute approximately 100 cars Of
soft fruits, of which 500 cars can
be for peaches. For all of this fruit
we fully expect fair prices, prices that
will pay the grower for picking and
packing and fair profit. We do not
anticipate high prices. but we do an
ticipate living prices for good grade
of fruit. We are in close touch with
over 1000 buyers, and the CORES
pondence just received gives the pros
pect a much more encouraging out.
look than earlier correspondence.
Prospects Are Good
There has been considerable talk
of selling peaches at Csc per box. We
fully believe intelligent distribution
and sale of peaches will cause such
talk to appear ridiculous. There are
of course, always the inexperienced
and impractical shippers to contend
with, who make intelligent distribu-
ton much more difficult. Our reports
indicate that there are very few
peaches north of Arkansas in the
middle west This gives the Yakima
valley and other northwestern terri
tory a large field with practically no
competition from home growers.
How We Can Compete
There are large crops of peaches in
Colorado and Utah to compete with
Washington peaches, but If only the
best grade of our own fruit is shipped
we can successfully compete with
them in all this territory. If other
firms have prepared as they should
have done, to take care of this i'm
mense crop, the same as we have
prepared, there will be no difficulty
marketing the good fruit from the
Yakima valley. 1t is only the mex
perienced shipper we fear that may
cause a glut in the larger markets,
and this glut may tend to discourage
legitimate customers. Let the grower
only take the best of care in grow
ing and marketing his fruit and se-
lect the best marketing agency avail
able at an early date so his fruit can
be placed in advance and we show
double the total of any former year
that will come to the growers.

FREE TRADE IN FOOD PRODUCTS

The democratic national platform
stripped of it's confusing and mislead-
ing verbiage and brought down to its
fighting clothes is a declaration for a
revision of the tariff on a purely reve-
nue. basis. 1t is a pledge to wipe out
every vestige of protection from the
tariff laws as woodrow Wilson has
proclaimed in order to reduce the
high cost of living.
This means a letting down of the
bars for free trade in all food pro-
ducts. The farmers who rebelled at
the Canadian reciprocity act are con-
fronted under the proposed demo
cratic revision with free trade with
the world in these articles of food
products which now must pay duty
if they enter the United States.
The list includes beef, pork, salt
beef, short ribs, bacon, mutton, lard
dressed poultry. -four, rye -four, buck
wheat, eggs, butter, cornmeal, pota-
toes and molasses. The tariff will be
lifted from these in order to reduce
the cost of living to the ultimate con-
sumner. ~ lts Ma t@r
This is the paramount issue as pre-
sented by the progressive democratic
party. 1t is a program of revision that

establishment of the parcels post. The
departure from the present rates will
be radical and the new rates are to be

proven In communities where such

to be of clear economic value, tne
pupils will remain longer In school,
and the relation of the work to the
farms themselves will not only en-

require them. The social center will
come into being because the work Of
the school demands It.
The conscious demand for social

growth, and has been most pronounc

Of public promotion, of debates, lit

American farmer is rather hard

modes of thought are rather FREEDOM

money and getting on in the world
