ployed in the joint terminal yards quiz

strlkebreakers together last night and
addressed them with a view TO per

the term They are employees of the
Louisville and Nashville system at other

perintendents. They are employed to

Somebody at Fault,

Somewhere, and by somebody, there
IS fault OF blame worthiness.
The commission has all along appra-
ciated the delicacy of the situation anu
the danger of embarrassment from any
illadvsed action or effort on its part
in the premises and has heretofore in
stituted no inquiry. in the hope thai
some settlement would be secured b.
the principals themselves or through
the efforts of mediators.
The commission does not desire
even now or in the near future to move
in the matter, and will not except un-
der a sense of duty.
1T has therefore directed the chair
man TO closely watch the situation for

By Geo. Severance, Superintendent
Western Washington Experiment
Station, Puyallup, Wash
The Experiment Station sent out a
large number of inquiries last winter
for definite information regarding
yields of crops, cost of production
performance of herds, and from two
hundred or more inquiries sent pre-
sumably to the most progressive
farmers, not over half dozen definite
replies were received. All the balance
and even part of the half dozen re-
ported that they never keep any def
mite account of their operations.
This is unfortunate. If similar in
quiries were sent to 200 business
houses how many would report no
record of transaction kept? How
many would prosper if they kept no
record?
Many Western Washington farmers
are finding it hard to keep even.
Many of these farmers make money
on certain things and lose part OF
what they make by maintaining some
Improbable line. With no definite
record kept they are able to tell
merely that they are making or they
are losing money. Just what they are
making 1t on or what they are losing
it on they don't know. They could
eliminate part of their business and
be money ahead, and have less worry
but don't know what to eliminate.
There is no better time than right
now to start in recording the expense
in labor and cash on the seveal crops
and the returns. 1t is convenient to
make a record of transactions as they
occur in a day book, recording every
thing as it occurs regardless Of clas-
sifcation. For example,:
MAY Is.
Two and one-half days labor plant
ing potatoes.
One and one half days labor harrow
ing potatoes.
Team one and one-half days harrow
ing potatoes.
Bought 30 bushels seed potatoes of
John Smith, $50.
Sold 10 pounds butter at 80 cents,
for cash.

Farmers Show Lack of Business Methods.

MAY 16.
Finished planting 10 acres of pota-
toes today.
One and one-fourth days labor
planting potatoes.
One-half days labor narrowing po-
tatoes.
Team one-half days narrowing po-
tatoes.
One days labor blowing for corn.
Team one day blowing for corn.
Black SOW "Maggie" narrowed 10
pigs.
On rainy days or when it is desired
to collect the information it is sur
prising how rapidly the information
regarding single crop may be gather
ed from the day book. It is useless
for a farmer to attempt anything
elaborate and it is still more unwise
to keep no record. Try it.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1912-05-15

Station is giving much attention to
testing of great many varieties OF
raspberries, blackberries, black caps
and logan berries, and is doing con-
siderable work in cross breeding the
promising sorts in an effort to pro-
duce new sorts that will include the
strong features of present varieties
with their weak features eliminated.
For example. the Snyder blackberry
would be given first place on quality
and is an early blackberry, but is so
susceptible to disease that it is almost
out of the race. The Evergreen is
very hardy, disease resistant variety
and a heavy yielder unless nipped by
early frosts but the quality is poor
and it's lateuess gives considerable
uncertainty to the crop. These
varieties have been crossed in the
hopes of securing variety possessing
the earliness and quality of the
Snyder and the hardness and disease
resistance of the Evergreen. Various
other varieties are crossed also. The
first crosses made (season 1909 will
beign to bear this season and the
by brid patch should be of much in
terest to growers. Visitors are well
come. The crosses made during the
season of 1910 should begin to bear
next year. Crosses will be made each
year in the constant effort to secure
something better. Thousands of
crosses must usually be made before
anything really superior is produced
but when really superior variety is
produced and is scattered out almost
state wide in it's influence the aggre-
gate benefit repays many times all the
time and trouble involved.
