PREPARATION FOR ORCHARD
SMJDGING

Fruit districts all over the country
are beginning to take precautions
against damage to the fruit buds by
reason of late frosts. The most mod
ern plan for prevention of loss in
this direction is orchard heating by
means of smudge pots. This plan
has been worked out to perfection
in California and has been used more
or less extensively in other western
states
The business of smudging in the
orange orchards of Southern Califor-
MIA has been so perfected that the
owners now succeed without diff
Guilty and but with comparatively lit
tie expense in raising the temperature
on threatening nights as much as ten
degrees. This is, except in very eX-
IRENE cases enough to take the edge
off of anxiety and make the occu-
patton reasonably safe one to fol-
low.
In portions of Colorado. Idaho, Ore
gon and Washington the orchard
heating devices have been used to
success and crop has been saved
that other wise would have been a
total loss At Grand Junction Col
orado, and in the Boise and Payette
and Weiser Valleys in Idaho the pre-
paration for orchard heating is grow
ing from year to year and the pro-
cess is considered one of the pre-
cautions necessary for insuring uni
form success i'm the production of an
nual fruit crop. 1t is an insurance
against loss reckoned on the basis Of
the probabilities of loss by fire or
food in any other form of BUSINESS
investment, and as such it is certain
to be used in all sections where fruit
is grown extensively as a commercial
product.

The Roosevelt idea is looming so
large on the horizon that some MEM
bers in congress ere proposing to
pass a resolution limiting the pres
idency to the two term precedent
which has been accepted by tacit
consent. But the question then might
be raised in favor of Roosevelt, who
technically has not been elected for
two terms. He filled the unexpired
term of Mckinley on the death of
the latter and was elected by the
people only once. On this technical
ity his friends might urge his eligi-
bility even if the resolution intro
duced last week by Representative
Slayden of Texas does meet with ia
vor enough to secure its passage at
this session But the indications are
that this would be such a palpable
thrust at Roosevelt, such a recogni-
ton of the strength he might de-
velop before the people that it would
not be polite now to give it serious
consideration.

How can you patronize home in
dustry and stiIl get pure food is a
question that is now of more than
passing interest. The national pure
food law puts the hall mark of
purely on every article sold outside
the state in which it is manufacture
ed. If Vermont maple syrup is sold
and labelled pure outside the state the
government is behind the label, but
this is not true of home products sold
within the states where they are
manufactured unless the state pure
food laws are as rigid and as well
enforced as the national laws are.
The government law applies only to
goods that are sold for interstate
trade and does not effect the home
product sold at home. Each state
is charged with the wholesomeness
of its own foods and the protection
of its own people from fraudulent
and deleterious products.

COLOSISTS RATES AND PROS
PECTS


The announcement that the rail-
roads have announced colcnist rates
for the spring on a basis that will be
inviting for immigrants and home
seekers makes a certainty of the an
nouncement that the companies are
preparing to handle the greatest col
onist travel ever before known in
the history of the country. Statistics
to base this assertion upon are to
be found in the eastern offices of any
of the companies operating lines into
the Pacific Northwest. Reports have
come out from these offices that they
are simply flooded with inquiries and
predict that they will be at loss TO
furnish equipment to move the great
number of colonists that will want to
visit the Northwest this spring.
With such an invasion in prospect
it will behoove local organizations
to be in readiness to present their
CI3lIIS lOT TcCOS W liACSC AApiiiN
seekers and investors who will come
touring the Northwest in search of
locations. Here it would seem is the
nearest opportunity for effective SER
vice in the work of the local COM
mercial clubs of Yakima valley, and
plans for ways and means of reach
ing the prospective colonists will
be very timely activity.
1t is very fortunate that this great
movement of homeseekers follows so
shortly after the time when Yakima
valley scored such a decisive victory
in winning prizes at the Eastern land
shows The publicity coming from
that source alone ought, and no
doubt will, give to this valley d
strong lead in the attraction of coll
onists this spring, and with that ad-
vantage the work of the local COM
mercial organizations ought to be
made not only easy but very efficient.
Out OF the great ildSS VI pupliSitS
matter that has been used to flood
the East for the past few years Gre
ating interest and attracting atten-
ton to the possibilities and opportu-
mites in the Pacific Northwest there
is nothing that has approached the
work done by the land shows Thous-
ands were attracted to these exhibit
tons and what they saw and heard
there fixed their conviction that the
West was indeed land of opportu-
nifty and they will come this spring
to SPY out the land for themselves.
How this great army of colonists
is to be approached and directed to
examine the advantages offered by
Yakima valley is the problem of i'm
mediate attention for those into
whose hands the work of directing
publicity has been given by recent
elections to the Commercial club. 1t
is very evident that the harvest will
be worth while.

WHAT OF THE STATE FAIR?

Dates are being fixed for the fairs
eraI secretaries are getting busy on
the list of amusement attractions. All
this suggests the need for getting
busy in all kinds of preparation and
appeals to North yakima, especially,
in the need for determining just how
strong the local business men are go
ing to get behind the fair for next
year.
There was some sharp criticism last
year over the fact that North Yal1i-
ma was not giving proper support to
the fair, and there is a pronounced
feeling that unless this is done that
the fair will be taken away from
North Yakima or that state support
will be Withdrawn, the institution or
the appropriation divided among sew
eral places that are asking help in
promoting local fairs. 1t is thought
that the whole question will be de-
termined by the attitude that the cit
liens of North Yakima and Yakima
valley take toward the fair next year.
This being true it is more than ever
important that some early action be
taken to determine just what is to
be done toward support locally for
the next state fair.
With this idea in view the Herald
is ready to accept suggestions FROM
any parties in interest looking toward
the promotion of the State Fair. In
the multitude of council there is wis
dom. Amy stockman, fruit grower,
agriculturist or interested citizen who
has a suggestion to offer concerning
an improvement for the fair can get
that suggestion before the people
through the columns of the Herald.
Recently the news columns of the
Herald carried a suggestion from
day and stock exchange idea be work
ed out in connection with the hold
ing of the fair, in order that the
farmers might be interested in either
the sale or purchase of stock and
would find convenient and popular
means for doing this through the
clearing house conducted in the sales
day at the state fair. The Herald
believes that this idea has merit and
should be considered, and it invites
other suggestions on the part of pa
irons and citizens for the promotion
of the interests of the state fair.

The ground hog saw his shadow
and those who pin their faith on this
representation are confident that
there viii be six weeks more of winter
and this would not be a disappoint-
ment to many others who do not have
the faith of things hoped for from
this source Six weeks of continued
cold weather would hold back the
fruit buds past all chance of being
nfpped by late frosts. The winter
to date has been ideal in this valley
and there is promise of d great fruit
crop. Continued cold weather where
the nights win sill fall below the
freezing point would hold back the
buds and insure the growers of the
valley against loss from this source
Let us hope that the ground hog has
had the right tip.

PRESS COMMENT
Good Roads stimuIant in the North

Good Roads Stimulant in the North
west
In Ada county, Idaho, the people
are contemplating bond issue of ST.
600, 200 for good-road construction.
There is no certainty that the issue
will be authorized, as, indeed, former
attempts to secure the requisite vote
for similar issues have failed But,
from all report the sentiment favor
ing the expenditure of money for per-
manent Improvement of highways is
stronger in Idaho than it has ever
been before; educative campaigns
among the farmers have done their
work, and there is hope that the prop
osition now pending will carry
This Ada county movement follows
the line of the California plan of road
Improvement. The county initiative
and the county bond issue in the
Golden State have given that com
monwealth an enViable position
among states that have something to
boast of in the way of good roads.
1t finally has led to supplemental aid
by the state, and the reason for that
Is obvious enough. The educative
value of good roads i'm a single coun-
ty extends to the people of contig-
uous and adjacent counties; and in
every such cases the actual, practi-
cal object lesson of a single good
highway is worth an incomputabl BILE
amount of preachment
In any county where a start is
made in the building of good roads,
as the work progresses converts are
made to a more liberal and progress
slVe policy. In the minds of citi-
zens the subject assumes state inn
portance; and the result becomes APP
parent in state legislation. The one
unit of activity develops other units;
and almost before anyone realizes
how it has been brought about there
Is an efficient good roads movement
that is statewide.
There is effort in this state to get
the people together in the consider
alton of the value of good roads and
OF the ways and means by which they
may be built. In a statewide sense
1t seems difficult to carry that effort
beyond the academic stage There is
need of a stimulant, which a little
good-road building on the basis of
county bond issues will supply.-Port-
land Telegram.

City Beautiful Ball

The art committee which is COM
posed of two members of each of the
woman's clubs of the city held a
meeting yesterday afternoon and re-
elected Mrs. A. E. Larson chair
man and elected Mrs. Mary
Cannon secretary. The hope of
the club is that this city may
become truly a Getty beautiful" at no
distant date and as a means of has
tening the time they have arranged
for 500 or 600 rose bushes of the
Grussan Peplitz variety, some to be
given to the city schools and the re-
mainder to be sold at reasonable
prices to the residents, that red roses
may be everywhere in evidence, beau
tifying the lawns and gardens, and
when desired for decorations red
roses will be easily procurable in
practically unlimited quantities
In order to raise funds with which
to finance this red, red rose crusade,
the ladies will give a "city beautiful
ball during the first week of March.
An art exhibit of about so paint
ings by prominent Chicago artists,
sent out by the general federation,
will be here some time during the
spring.

MENTAL TRAINING AS AN EQUIP
MENT
NINT

A careful reading of the very eX-
cellent address on the object and
aims of education which is repro
duced in this issue has suggested a
line of thought which may be con-
sidered in connection with the con-
tents of the paper. The ques-
ton is what is the best pro-
duct of the public schools and
a consideration that mental train
ing is of paramount Importance.
The subject matter and the methods
employed are only means to an end
and that end is a trained and efficient
mind.
In symposium OF articles written
ten or a dozen years ago on the gen
eral topic, What is the Best Thing
NV College Has Done for Me?" ar
ticles written independently and with
out knowledge of what the others
may have written, the one thought
most prominent, though variously ex-
pressed, was that the training of the
mind to see and understand and APP
preciate was the one thing most val
ued by the writers who were in every
instance men of large affairs who
occupied a place of prominence be-
fore the country because of their
successes.
These men were glad that they
were taught how to think and how to
gather knowledge from the world
about them, in other words how to
Use their minds for the solution OF
the problems of life as they came to
them and how to enjoy life to the
fullest because of an appreciation of
this fact. Yet this was before the
age of modern specialization in
schools and colleges, before the days
of electives and when the general and
respected fundamentals were empha-
sized. Still it was not a question so
much of what these men had studied
as what Iney dJCdlnei through thebt
study and mental application.
There is q question whether or not
the modern system Of electives is not
more of an opportunity for the pupil
to continue his studies in the line of
least resistance and consequently with
a lessening effort than it is for any
thing else. In this connection quo
tation from Huxley, himself an expo
nent of prodigious energy and power
of application, expresses a thought
worth while. He says, perhaps the
best results of all education is the ca
pacity to make yourself do what you
have to do when it must be done
whether you like it or not"
There are some ESSENTIALS upon
which the whole superstructure of
life and character are built, and in
this connection mental equipment is
mental capital and mental habits are
of paramount importance. Any school
or scheme of education that ignores
this is mistaking the means for the
end.

The diplomatic monoevering in
China on the part of the world pow
ers has been characterized as fish
ing in troubled waters. Japan and
Russia have had the first nibble, but
Germany, England and the United
States will see to it that they do not
land their catch. The weakness of
the Chinese empire now in the cru
cial test of reorganization offers a fine
field for Acknowledgement of the
empire and an agreement for a di-
vision of the spoils. All diplomats
urge concert of the powers, but at
the first discordant note there is
likely in the strained situation of the
far east to arise a situation that will
bring on serious international com
plications so serious as to wreck all
the presidents laid down by the
Hague tribunal.

Political leaders predict an ebbing
tide for the Wilson sentiment and find
confirmation in one instance in the
fact that California until lately as
sured for New Jerseys governor, is
now announced for Speaker Champ
Clark. That change in sentiment has
been wired in to the Clark head
quarters in St Louis, and adds de-
termination to the friends of the
speaker who are just now engaged
in trying to wrest that state from
Folk and annex it to the support of
Clark, it is believed that this is only
another indication that the under
tow of public sentiment is now
largely in favor of Champ Clark.

"The more a woman knows about
the things she ought to know, the
less she knows about what we are
doing here" is the ungallant remark
attributed to Senator Baily of Texas
during the debate on the child bu-
reau bill during the past week. Sem
ator Bailey has announced his re-
tirement from politics and it was
just as well perhaps for the steam
roller was preparing to run over him
down in Texas. He attributes the ag-
itation for the bin before congress
TO the meddling of women i'm politics
But the meddling that Senator Bailey
decries viii still go marching on and
one OF the salutary effects Will be the
retirement of men of the Bailey type
from political life.
