Business Mems Club Author.
lied Committee to Make
Order Immediately.

ference with Prof. Lieurance to

stores should close at o'clock ex-
cept the grocery stores which will
have the additional half hour.
Drug stores are not included 10 the

Governor Hay Visits Lynden.

Governor Hay visited Lynden last

our people. He was accompanied
by Ex-Governor Mead. DR.. Ballaine,
and Mr.. Edholm, of Bellingham.
The people of the town gave the
governor and his party a warm and

est state in the union, is always a

AN EXTRAVACANT
ADMINISTRATION.
Appropriations of Washing.
ton and Other Western
States Compared.

The Hay administration has been
very expensive one TO the tax
payers of this state; il has been
reckless one in expending the pub
lie funds. When our accidental gov
ernor. during the first months of his
administration, was advised by one
of the members of the tax commis-
sion TO veto, if not all, at least a
part OF the appropriations made by
the most extravagant legislature the
state has ever had, he thought dif-
ferently because the fellows behind
the appropriations were friends
whom he dare not displease for the
reason that that they had been &C
tive supporters in his election as
lieutenant governor. And SO the
accident signed.
John c. Lawrence, candidate for
the republican nomination for gov
enor, who will continue his cam
paign solely on state issues, gives
as one of the reasons which led
him to take up state issues only.
the enormous increase in legislative
appropriations.
Note the appropriations" says
Mr.. Lawrence. Three millions in
1905; six millions in 1907: nine
millions in 1903, and over eleven
millions in 1911, an increase of
over eight millions in six years
five millions under the administra-
tion of Governor Hay.
Examine the following table
showing population and appropria-
tions in other states and ! believe
you will agree with me that the
enormous increase is a question of
vital Importance to the people and
il is one of the issues in this cam
paign.''

SUMMER PRUNING.
By j. L. Stahl, Horticulturist, West.
ern Washington Experiment
Station.

1t it almost time to summer
prune the fruit trees. The con-
tinuous rains and cool weather
have delayed twig growth TO some
extent and consequently the time
to prune should be delayed.
If summer pruning is done too
early the buds below the cut will
break out just below the wound.
If done too late there will be no
opportunity for these buds to swell
and form fruit buds. which is one
important object in pruning al this
time OF year.
Under natural development of
plants certain buds produce twigs
and leaver and other buds break
open and form flowers and fruit.
There is sort Of balance between
the leaf surface of the tree and
the root system. The leaves act
as a crude sort of manufacturing
esta blishment to receive the sap
as it is carried up from the roots,
and they put it in a condition SO
that the plant can use it. If for
any reason the roots fail to per-
form their functions the leaves are
unable TO supply the plant and it
soon dies of starvation. On the
other hand, if part of the top of
the plant is removed and the sup
ply of sap is not diminished, the
remaining portion of the top re-
ceives an excess of sap.
A theory is held by many hor-
tieulturists that if pruning is done
at the right time during midsum-
mer, when most of the season s
growth has stopped, that the ex-
cess of sap due to the pruning will
be forced into undeveloped leaf
buds and weak fruit buds. causing
a formation OF strong, healthy twig
buds. In many cases this theory
seems to work out in practice and
especially SO in parts of Western
Washington where excessive wood
growth is quite common. Some va
rieties have been forced into bear
ing earlier than is their habit, but
whether il should be a general prac-
tiee and with all varieties of tree
fruits still remains to be worked
out.
If the wood growth is very Wig
orous the practice is a good one.
In some cases both winter and sum-
pl SAoui0 OV oohS'
The time to prune in the sum-
mer is when the vigorous wood
growth has stopped and the termi-
nal bud at the end of the young
wood has formed. This will be at a
different time in different localities
but in general. in Western Washing
ton, from the middle Of July until
the middle of August is a good
time, but this season the time
will probably be two weeks la
ter.
The amount of wood to remove
will depend upon the kind of tree
and amount of pruning it has pre-
viously had.
All dead or diseased wood should
be removed from any tree at any
time; branches which rub or inter-
fere should be removed; useless
wood such as water sprouts should
be cut out. These should all be re-
moved close to the branch or trunk
from which they spring so that
no BIS are left. The amount of
new growth TO remove will depend
on the individual tree. In gener-
al. about one-half of each young
twig should be removed in pruning
apples or pears; about three-foutrhs
in pruning peaches; and usually a.
bout one-third in pruning plums or
cherries.

MORE PHOTO VIEWS
OF OUR FARMS.

The Milwaukee railroad has again
sent its official photographer, Mr..
Toles, to Lynden to take views of
some of our farms and growing
crops. to be used in its new publi-
cation soon to be issued far geHer-
al distribution. Mr.. Toles, togeth-
er with Mr.. Cook. general traffic
manager Of the road, and Mr.. Som
ers, of the Bellingham division of
the system, arrived on Saturday,
and were met by Mr.. A. A. Bauman,
who, in his automobile. drove the
party to various points of interest.
Views were taken of several fields
of grain, standing and in the shock;
also of hay fields: a general view
of the 200-acre Forbes ranch, a
potato and a rye. field at Nels ia
oobsen's place, and potato field
and kale patch at J. Zweegman's
farm. At the latter place Mr.. Toles
also took a general view of the
surrounding country from the top
of Mr.. Zweegman' barn. He also
procured views of Mr.. Mornin gstars
berry patch. and of E. E. Wolfe's
herd of fine Holstein cattle.
Mr.. Toles intends visiting US again
in the near future in order to OBJ
tain a third set of views, and he
will also be here at the county fair
on October 2, 8, 4. and 5, to take
pictures of the various displays.
1t would be well for our producers
to bear this in mind. Prepare ef-
fective displays for the fair. and
you will have them photographed by
one of the most capable artists in
the country, and pictures of your
world over.

Cost and Methods of Clearing,

For the past five years the
State College, through its Western

Puyallup in cooperation with the
Bureau of Plant Industry of the l..
S. Department of Agriculture, has
been investigating the cost and
methods of clearing land which was
originally timbered. but has been
logged for it's marketable timber,
and is now available for settlement
as farm lands. From time to time,
bulletins have been issued. giving
the results of these Investigations.

THE SHORT BALLOT.

Writing in favor Of the short bal
lot movement to simplify politics,
Richard S. Childs declares that the
democracy of this country is the
only one which is habitually mis-
governed, and that mal-administra-
tion is the normal condition among
American cities, condition which
indicates the existence of some Pc
culiarity in Gar system of govern
ment. An analysis of present con-
ditions, according to Mr.. Childs, re-
veals that at the base of it all is
the familiar fact that the majority
of the people are in the habit of
voting blindly. This is not due to
apathy on the part of the voters,
nor is it possible to teach or force
the entire citizenship to scrutinize
the long ballot and cease to vote
blindly on most OF it. The remedy
therefore is to shorten the ballot
to a point where the average man
will vote intelligently without Civ
in to politics more attention than
he does at the present time. The
Short Ballot Principle as defined
by the Short Ballot organization is:
First-That only those offices
should be elective which are impor-
tant enough to attract (and de-
serve) public examination.
Second-That very few offices
should be filled by election at one
time. so as to permit adequate and
unconfused public examination of
the candidates.
The names on the ballot would
be made conspicuous and citizens
could not help knowing all about
them This would eliminate the
politician" in the unique American
sense of the word, the political spe-
cialist who knows more about the
voters political business than the
voter does, and tends to make pos
sible the maintenance of a purely
political organization.
