Winter Barley

In the fall of 1911 forty acres of win
ter barley were sown on the Expert
ment Station farm at Pullman. Seed
ing was completed in late October,
although better results would likely be
secured by earlier seeding. One and
one-half bushels of seed were used per
acre. A part of the field was corn
stubble. The remainder was oat land
from which crop was taken during the
summer. The corn stubble was disked
in preparation for seeding. The oat
field was plowed and fitted in the usual
manner. At this writing part of the
field has been thrashed. The yield is
about sixty bushels per acre of a very
high grade of barley.
This is most promising grain crop
for Easterd Washington and Northern
Idaho. Under favorable conditions it
will surpass wheat in yield. 1t may be
grown in a manner similar to winter
wheat.
Winter barley takes the place Of mill
feeds on the form. When ground it is
a very excellent feed for swine and
other stock. For fattening swine it has
no superior. When fed with field peas
a high grade of pork maybe produced
at moderate cost. These feeds may
be grown on what would otherwise be
summer-fallowed land. Seed barley
may be secured from the Experiment
Station, or from some of the leading
warehouse companies.

Campaign Committees Organized

The Republican county central COM
mittee met at the court room Saturday
afternoon, in compliance with the pro-
visions of the primary law, and pro-
ceeded to organize by the re election of
E. S. Appel as chairman and C. E. Pet
erson as secretary. Jens Jensen, of
Metaline Falls, was elected state COM
mitteeman. The selection of treas
urer and executive committee was left
in the hands of the county chairman.
In the evening the members of the
committee, together with the newly
nominated candidates, met at the Martin
Hotel and spent the evening in discus
sing the situation. There was strong
feeling of optimism that the entire Re-
publican ticket would be elected, the
primary vote of 1853 Republican, 366
Democratic and Is Socialist being in
itself an indication of the November
result. The Republican party of the
county has all the best of the argument
on the face of the returns, and the op-
ponents of the county ticket will have
a big Republican majority to overcome.
This county has always been Repub-
lican stronghold. When part of Stew
ems county it was always looked to for
a Republican majority.
The Democratic meeting was held at
the court room earlier in the afternoon.
Their organization was perfected by the
election of George T. Heslin as chair
man, John H. Long, secretary, and F.
M. Smith, treasurer. Ralph R. Isaacs
of Locke, was elected state committee
man.
A platform committee, consisting of
Geo. T. Heslin, A. S. Sherlock and M.
F. Ryan, reported platform for the
county, which appears in another col
umn of THE MINER.

longed illness, Deva Olson Russell, aged

and died Sunday noon.
The deceased was the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence Olson. Three
sisters, Helen, Olive and Clara, survive.

Democratic Platform for Pend OreiIIe
County, Wash.

Adopted at Newport, Wash, Sept.
81, 1912.
The Democrats of Pend Oreille county,
by their duly elected representatives, in
convention assembled, do ordain and
adopt the following platform of princi-
pies:
l. We hereby adopt and approve the
national Democratic platform as adopted
at Baltimore by the Democratic ma
tional convention of 1912, and pledge
our loyal support to it's nominees, Wood
row Wilson and Thomas Marshall.
2. We also heartily endorse the state
Democratic platform as adopted at
Walla Walla, and likewise pledge our
loyal support to the state and congress
sional nominees.
3. We are mindful of the fact that
much of the life and energy that enters
into our business affairs comes from
combinations of men and capital COM
monty known as corporations. There
fore, we do concede to them all the
rights and privileges that we concede to
private individuals, and as matter of
justice we know and recognize no diff
ference between the large corporation,
the small corporation or the private in
dividual
A. We believe that public office is a
public trust, and public officer is a
servant of the people, and he who turns
deaf ear to the masses, who are clam
oring only for justice, is not worthy of
the trust.
5. We demand an equitable and just
assessment of all the taxable property
in the county, that each Individual and
small or large corporation may pay their
just share of the taxes; and we denounce
as unpatriotic and undemocratic, and
therefore unfit to continue in power or
to hold office, any party which will
sanction, or any man or set of men who
will knowingly, willingly and unjustly
shift the burden of taxation from the
shoulders of the large corporation onto
the shoulders of the small corporation,
the business man, the rancher or the
small home owner, as in the case of the
20 per cent reduction made to the Pan
handle Lumber Co. by our county board
of equalization in the eleventh hour be-
fore adjournment.
6. We stand for the bridging of the
Pend Oreille river by appropriation from
the legislatures of the states of Wash
ington and Idaho, and without cost or
expense to the taxpayers of Pend Orielle
county.
z. For the building, improvement and
betterment Of our public highways, and
for the extension of feeders from the
main arteries along the valleys to the
outlying bench land districts.
8. We are in favor Of practical legis-

BRITISH TOWN PLANNING.
Proposed to Establish Chair In Lon
don University.

A proposal has been made and is
now receiving influential support for
esta blishing a professorship of town
planning at London university. The
idea originated with John Burns. who
suggested at the town planning eXhi
bition, held at Crosby Hall some time
ago, that some wealthy person should
endoW such chair, and since then
Herbert Warren of the Garden City
association has several times urged its
desirability. The matter was at first
referred to the executive committee of
the association, and now a strong com
mittee is being formed to further it.
The recent conference on town plan
ming showed that there is among the
local authorities of the country great
deal Of keen interest in this subject.
Enthusiasm for the movement, indeed.
very often outstrips the knowledge Of
the principles of town planning, which
is natural, seeing that those who are at
present the technical advisers of the
borough and district councils had no
opportunity of studying the new theo-
they were preparing for their careers
as architects or surveyors. 1t is for
this reason that the creation of the
proposed chair at London university Is
now being urged. 1t is intended, if the
proposed chair is founded, that archi-
tectural students should have the OPP
portunity of attending the lectures on
town planning as part of their profess
sional studies. instruction is already
given in this subject at Liverpool uni
versity by Professor Adshead and at
Birmingham by Raymond Unwin, and
it is strongly felt that students in Lon
don should have the same facilities.

university. Sir William Collins and Sir
Henry Miers, the principal, have ex-
pressed great interest in the scheme.
It is supported also by Sir Aston Webb,
