SUMMER SCHOOL
DRAWING TO CLOSE
Has Reen Great Success in Point
of Attendance, Interest and Good
Work Accomplished

The eleventh summer session Of
the State College is drawing to a
close. There are 800 students en-
rolled-an increase of "a over last
year. Moreover about 20 under the
age of 16 have been turned away.
Besides members of the regular Col
lege faculty staff there are present
representatives from Columbia Uni
yersity, New York; University Of
oregon, Pacific University, Whit
man College and two prominent city
superintendents of the Northwest.
OF the students there are 70 who
are graduates of universities, col
leges and normal schools. There are
% who are principals and superin-
tendents of schools in the Northwest.
Probably the courses in home eco
nomics, Industrial art and agricul-
ture have appealed to a larger num-
Der of students than any others, al
though the liberal arts courses are
well filled also. The College feels
that it has done a distinct service in
bringing here Professor R. j. Leon
ard of the Horace Man School, New
York, who Is helping to standardize
and give more meaning to the edu-
cation in manual arts. To that end
his courses in constructive design
have been of particular service.
DR.. r. c. Clark of the University
of Oregon expresses himself as fol-
lows:
Il have been surprised at your
splendid equipment. Your auditor
ium building is indeed a splendid
structure and you have the best
library have seen in the Northwest.
| am greatly pleased to find how
strong your liberal arts courses are
and the effect they have upon the
work done in the more practical
courses in giving to them a cultural
as well as an economic value"
Professor Sears says
Among the things people should
know more about is the scenery.
Paluse" is French word, meaning
'Yelyety," and at this season our
valley is indeed velvety. These roll
ing Mills where the varying shades of
green graduate into each other are
mdeed wonderful. Then as to recre-
atlon' Mr.. Boiler is doing some great
hlhgs with tennis (an appreciation
OF which is part of a liberal edu-
ation), swimming, coaching, base
oaii and other forms of athletics.
me picnics and dances given during
tue session afford a good opportun-
ny Tor social life and for the com
niihgling of faculty and students"
superintendents Frazier of Ever
el' and Watson of Spokane expressed
themselves as greatly delighted with
'neir visit here and as more than
ever friends of the College.

inc lecture feature more prominent

Moisture Experiments Interesting
One of the most interesting ex-
periments being conducted at the
station is that to ascertain the
amount of m oisture needed to raise
different kinds OF crops. This ex-
pertinent is being made under the
direction of Professor C. C. Thorn,
station soil physicist, who went into
detail in regard to the investigations.
One branch of the experiment is to
ascertain the exact amount of water
In pounds that is required to pro-
duce one pound of dry natter
which is described by Professor
Ihom as the crop after it has been
thoroughly dried out by heat. This
investigation was also carried on last
year, and some very interesting re-
suits were obtained. 1t was found
that the number of pounds of water
TO produce one pound of dry mat
ter in different crops was as fol-
lows:
Potatoes, 167 pounds of water to
one pound Of dry matter; onions,
235; Corn, 290; barley, 294; car
rots, 297; sugar beets, 304; oats,
@45; barley, 294; tomatoes, $50;
cabbage, 39S, soy beans, 408, field
beans, 444; wheat, 470; peas, 519;
alfalfa, 294.
For the purpose of the expert
ments in moisture the crops were
planted in large tubs and each tub
SUCK in another tub of water, with
9uages to measure the exact amount
OF moisture consumed. a consider
able amount of apparatus is used in
the experiments and the registry is
so complete that the results obtained
are absolutely correct To ascertain
whether or not the fertility of the
soil had any effect on the amount of
moisture consumed, a considerable
amount of infertile soil was obtained
from Illinois (none being obtainable
here) and to this was added mater
ials on which plants feed, in varying
amounts. Through this experiment
it was found that the richer the soil
the less moisture is consumed. In
this connection Prof Thorn urged
upon his listeners the great value of
manure as fertilizer, pointing to
the results of the experiment as
proof that well fortified land would
produce good crops when less fertile
fields produced nothing because of
lack of moisture

Field Peas

On the farm are grown over 80
varieties of field peas, which will
this year return a yield of between
80 and 40 bushels per acre, worth
50 to $3.50 per bushel Between
500 and 1000 bushels of these peas
will be sold for seed to farmers
throughout the state. Dr. White
stated that in his opinion there is a
great opportunity in the Palouse
country for the raising OF garden
peas for sale as seed, and that he be-
lieves specialized crops will yield a
greater pecuniary return than
straight wheat year after year al
the same time keeping the soil in a
fertile condition.

Sixteen Inches Rainfall VIII Raise
FortY-Bushel Mheat

Through the moisture experiments
Professor Thorn has found that l6
inches of rainfall is necessary to
raise 40 bushels of wheat to the
of barley; IL inches to raise so to 60
bushels of corn; / > inches to raise
70 bushels of oats, and four inches
to each ton of alfalfa raised on an
acre of ground. The average yearly
rainfall in Pullman Is % inches, and
the average loss of moisture by eyap-
Grafton through the ground, without
benefit to the crop, is eight inches.
These conditions should produce 35
bushels of wheat each year, without
any summer following Experiments
are also being conducted to deter
mine the effect Of temperature, wind
and exposure upon the amount of
moisture required. Crops grown on
north hill sides on the station farm,
according to the soil physicist, have
so far this year consumed only four
and one-half inches of moisture,
while those grown on south slopes
have consumed eight and one-half
inches Other investigations are be-
ing conducted at Ritzyille and Grand
view to ascertain the relation of
moisture conditions to crop growth
all being under the direction of the
experiment station
Alfalfa First Planted on College
FARM in 1895
The sightseeing party was next

PULLMAN CITIZENS VISIT
STATE EXPERIMENT STATION
Seventy=Five Pullman Business Men View
Crops on College Farm and Learn of the
Great InvestigatiOna Work Carried
On at the Experiment Station

Sevcnty-five of Pullman's business
men and citizens visited the State
Experiment Station at the College
Wednesday afternoon, with view to
becoming better acquainted with the
workings of the station and to view
the many plots of grains, grasses,
etc, on the station grounds. Eleven
automobiles and a large carry-all
were pressed into service for the
trip, and promptly at 81 80 the pro-
cession started toward the College
New Agricultural Building
The first stop was made near the
College hospital and the seekers
after information were taken
through the arboretum north of the
hospital. President E. A. Bryan dis
cussed the relative merits of the
numerous varieties of trees in the
plot from the standpoint of orna-
mentation, hardness, etc, stating
that in his opinion the Towering ash
is the best all-round shade tree for
trees and shrubs are growing on the
College grounds. President Bryan
also touched upon several subjects
pertaining more directly to the Col
lege itself mentioning in particular
the magnificent new agricultural
building which will next year be
erected on the site now occupied by
the College hospital. The building.

of 5000, will be built in the form
of court, with live stock pavilion

erations at the College have in the
past been spasmOdic, depending en-
tirely upon the action of the state
Legislature in the matter of appro-
priation, the mill-taX law, which will
become effective next year, will
make it possible to put the matter
of improvements upon a business
basis, with a stipulated and sure
sum to be expended each year for
new buildings. President Bryan
stated that the mill-taX law will
make possible the expenditure of
100000 yearly for building i'm

Citizens View Grain Plots

The citizens were driven to point
of vantage in the large experimental
| fields, from where they could view
the hundreds of plots of growing
grains, grasses, etc. The sight was
indeed a beautiful one, with the
many rows of grains of different
kinds just turning color, and the
ground in a perfect state of cultiya-
ton, not a weed to be seen any
where. DR.. Paul J. White, the sta
tion agronomist, explained the man
ner in which some of the grain ex-
periments are carried on, dealing in
particular with the hybrid wheats,
many of which have become famous
all over the Northwest because of
their great yielding and milling
yield, the College hybrid No. 143 is
acknowledged as the best variety
grown in the state. No. 143 is a
cross of bluestem and white tract, and
is now raised in all parts of the state,
the seed having been sent out from
1.-THE station. The station does not
make a practice of summer following
the land but by a system of COM
binations of different crops raises a
crop of some kind on nearly every
available inch of ground each year.
