cooler heads among the strikers per-

strike grew out Of the refusal OF the

COOLEST m SEVEN YEARS
TEMPERATURES 40 Low 40 ~
BELoW REPORTED.
Coal shortage Throughout Kansas
Many Towns start Public Work
70 Help Needy.

Topeka, Jan. 1S.-Kansas mad the
coolest weather in seven years and
reports that have been received here
would indicate widespread suffering
over the state. The temperature was
1913 degrees below zero at $3.50 q. m.
and reports received at the railroad
oflces showed temperatures as low
as ~ degrees below zero in north
central Kansas. Hutchinson reported
10 degrees below zero. while Wichita
reported only II below.
The coolest weather apparently
was along the Superior branch OF the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad,
from which came the report OF 81 de-
grees below zero.
There Is a coal shortage throughout
the state and the blocking Of the rail-
road in southwest Kansas Is sure to
cause suffering there for lack OF fuel.
In Topeka the Santa Fe railroad turn
ed six cars OF coal over to local au'
thorities,to be distributed to the poor
In small lots.
Reports from many other towns say
that those persons who could not keep
warm in their homes, or who had no
fuel, were housed in hotels or in mu-
nicipal or county buildings. Every
city and county in the state Is taking
good care Of the poor. A number OF
cities have started public works where
unemployed needy can obtain work.
In many towns on the roads the
railroad companies are dividing their
fuel supply and giving coal to the
people to prevent suffering.
Wichita, Jan. 13.-The Atchison,
Topeka q Santa Fe Railroad company
made an effort here to secure men to
go west on the Englewood branch
and help dig some trains from the
snowdrifts. The road offered $l'O5
a day, board and free transportation,
but few men responded. A train
which left here for Englewood Mon
day has been showed in at Coldwater
since.

HIGH LAND SEEDING.

By H. L. Blanchard, Assistant
Superintendent Western Washington
Experiment Station.
More than one year ago the writer
began earnestly to advise all farmers
who were cropping gravelly or sandy
locations that we're usually too dry
for vegetable growth during the late
summer and fall months, to plant such
lands in the fall, at least, for several
seasons-until such time as sufficient
humus had accumulated in the soil,
whereby it ould be possible to retain
sufficient moisture by cultivation and
otherwise, to insure fully mature
crop from spring planting. Many

FIELD PEAS ON THE STATE EXPER.
INTENT FARM.

For number of years field peas
have been under trial at the Expert
ment Station. More than one hundred
varieties have been tried out. Dur
ing the past season the three most
promising varieties have been grown
under field conditions. All the
varieties have proved very salts
factory. They have yielded from forty
to fifty bushels of threshed peas per
acre.
Field peas may be used IN mum ferrous
ways. Some farmers pasture the
ripened peas off with swine. This is
a very satisfactory method, as it saves
the trouble of harvesting the thresh-
ing Peas sown with oats make an
excellent hay or they may be used for
green feed. If the oats and peas are
left until ripe they may be threshed
together. The grain may be ground
and fed to live stock. When peas are
grown alone the seed is often ground
for pigs. Fed With barley it makes
an excellent grade of pork.
Field peas should be sown as early
as possible in the spring. 1t is best
to fall pillow the land and fit it very
thoroughly next spring. The seeds
are sown with a drill at the rate of
one and one half to two and one-half
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1912-11-01

farmers acted upon the suggestion,
and report most excellent results in
practically every case. Many, by
plan ting spring vetch with spring oats,
secured a maximum crop of forage
and hay, and on land that heretofore
had scarcely grown enough crop to
warrant the expense of harvesting.
The results so far as we can learn
fully warrant the practice, and there
will be much more fall seeding this
year than ever before, throughout
Western Washington. These results
show conclusively that much of our
gravelly and sandy soils contain a
much larger supply of available plant
food than had previously been sup
posed that they did, and that it was
chiefly a matter of securing right
moisture conditions in order to in
sure profitable crop.
Another thing that fully confirms
such theory is the fact that an excep.
tionally favorable season as regards
the favorable distribution of sunshine
and showers has been followed by
probably the largest harvest for many
years. Thus it is that the question
of irrigating our dry soils is being
much discussed at the present time.
But comparatively few farmers in
Western Washington find it to be
practical for them to install any
system or irrigation, for some time to
come at least. The practical thing
for such farm ers to do then is to
utilize the seasons rainfall as it
comes, and fix up system of fall
planting wherever possible to do so.
Rye, vetch, wheat and oats, and often
clover, sown in various combinations
can be depended upon when planted
in good seed bed between Septem
Der LIST and November 10Th, and some
times later, for an abundance of early
forage, silage and hay. From one
and one half to two bushels of either
of the grains mentioned with so to 60
pounds of spring vetch per acre is
good seeding; 20 pounds each of
italian and English rye grasses with
10 pounds of clover per acre can safe
ly be used when seeding to grass.
Also 20 pounds of orchard grass, 20
pounds OF the rye grasses and 10

bushels per acre. The drill should be
set to SOW as deeply as possible.
From three to four inches is none
too deep. The most important factors
of success are thorough fitting of the
land and early and deep seeding.
