The Wheat Harvest Is Everybody's Business

MORE than a hundred million people await
wi the report from the wheat fields. Every
body is interested. A good harvest means
prosperity to all. 1t means more than prosperity
to the man whose work lies in the city or town;
to him it means existence. Twothirds of
people depend absolutely upon the other third
for the very bread they eat. Truly, the wheat
harvest is everybody's business, matter of the
deepest concern to us all.
Fortunately the farmers reward for his work
in the wheat fields is reasonably sure. Scientific
preparation of the soil and seed bed rotation of
crops, selection of seed, and the of high grade

the best machines that can be made are abso-

and you will decide that the harvesting machine

THE AGRICULTURAL ENGINEER IN
THE WEST.

uf American Society of Agricultural
Engineers, st. Paul, by 9. j. Zlnthro,
of Seattle, Wash.
The address gives very good idea
of what is expected in the way OF
technical knowledge, as we'll as busl-
ness judgment-from an agricultural
engineer in the West. The problem
mentioned in regard to California
apply also, to other Western States.
The sage brush land Of eastern Wash
ington and Oregon, which had no
value, is rapidly being converted
into dry farming, by the aid Of the
traction motor and the combined
harvester and thresher; into irrlga-
ton farms of alfalfa and potatoes, and
into intensely cultivated apple
orchards valued as high as So, OOO
per acre, and producing interest on
an investment at that price.
Western Washington and Oregon
present another agricultural engineer
ing problem, which can only be solved
by our profession. Nineteen counties
comprising almost one half OF the
State of Washington, constitute the
logged land empire tributary to Seat
tie and other large Puget Sound
Cities, Whose average increase 10
population during the last ten years,
was over 200 per cent; and whose rural
population did not increase at all.
Only five per cent or 429, 600 acres OF
this area is now under cultivation,
the balance is totally unproductlVe.
Only 20 per cent Of the food products
consumed in the cities, are produced
in the immediate country. The pal
ance is imported from the Middle
West and other agricultural sections.
The reason for this is the late arrival
of the agricultural engineer When
the great "Douglas FIR trees nave
been cut for lumber, -stumps are left
behind varying in size from one to
eight feet in diameter and from
three to twelve feet in height ABOVE
ground, with roots spreading ten or
more feet into the ground. The
removal of these stumps, at a price
that will not be greater than the value
of land for agriculture, is the problem
for the agricultural engineer.
The only practical method now IN
use, is to split them with powder, pull
them out with steam donkey engine
that has steel cables of one and one
fourth inches in diameter winding on
a drum; the stumps are piled and
burned. and such work costs from
500 to Sl75 per acre. These stumps, |
however, contain large quantities or
pitch, fir oil, creOsOte, turpentlne and
pvroligneous acid. BY the use of the |
portable retorts in connection with
the donkey engine in the field, these
stumps can be distilled and products
produced of an average value of $5OO
per acre, at an expense OF 500 per
acre for clearing the land and working
nm the products. Logged off land
that can be bought for $40 per acre
is easily worth $3.50 per acre after it
is cleared.
The foundation of the engineer
must, however, extend further in
preparing this land for agriculture.
The average rainfall in that section is
ahout 70 inches per annum. Very

modern and scientific character. AS
result, fires that could be localized
or extinguished with comparatively
little damage are permitted to spread
and cause enormous loss. AS an iii
lustration, it was pointed out that had
the equipment of the fire department
been at all commensurate with the
requirements, the fire in the plant of
the Stewart Vehicle Company would
have been easily confined to one end
of the building, with resultant loss
of probably a few thousand dollars.
The facilities for fighting the fire,
however, were not there, and the en-
tire plant was wiped out. The loss in
wages of the workmen and the earn
ings of the plant until it can be re-
built will amount to probably twice the
amount needed to place the firemen
in a position to combat fires of this
character. This was pointed out as
a little example of arithmetic that
any one could understand.
The plan devised by the committee
is to ask 1856 persons interested in the
welfare of the city to donate $4,000
for the purchase of more and better
equipment for the fremen, chiefly con-
sisting of a modern triple-combnation
automobile truck-considered the most
efficient tire-fighting apparatus in ex-
istence, and machine that is largely
used by all the best organized depart
ments in the larger cities.
AS a start toward the fund the Ry-
neal boys propose to donate $1,000,
which they now have in their treas
ury and which was secured through
the personal efforts of the members Of
that company. In addition to this, Mr..
George Ryneal, jr, the father of the
department" proposes to contribute
$500 personally. The members of the
city council have given assurances to
the firemen that they will appropriate
the sum of $4,000 from the fund Sc
cured from liquor licenses. This
brings the total apparent equipment
up to $4,000, a handsome nucleus on
which to build.
The remaining $4,000 is to be rails
ed by Subscription, in manner and
at time to be announced after an
other meeting of the committee,
which will probably be held tonight.
This meeting will be held at Mr..
Deans store, and will be open to any
interested person.
There are a score of good argu-
ments why the firemen should be bet
ter prepared to fight fires, and not one
why their requirements should not be
Immediately met in the most generous
and hearty spirit. The firemen are
more than willing to do more than
their share in this enterprise, and
common public spirit would suggest
that the people do the remainder.

Could 1t be possible that Bryan was in

its place rolled an amazement that
shocked and stunned; that checked
me all standing, as it were; for Bryan
was simplifying, was telling about the

said, on the night of his arrival, and
which he had examined more closely
