CUT ALFALFA AT KENNEWICK
Grain, Fruit and Hay Prospects
Never Better at River Town.

Kennewick = The present grain,
fruit and alfalfa prospects in this vi
cinity were never better. If no set
backs come bumper crop is assured.
Wheat is looking fine, the heavy
SHOWS of last winter and the spring
rains having done much good. Indica-
lions point to as good crop as last
year which was the best in five years.
The first crop of alfalfa is being cut
this week. It is unusually heavy, but
owing to the late spring is little
short on the high lands. More hay
will be produced in this valley than
last year, but not nearly so much sold,
as the farmers are preparing to feed
their hay to stock.
The fruit outlook is unusually prom
Using, the crop not having been dam
aged by frost this spring. The straw
berry crop has been the largest ever
in this section, and quality good, and
the demand continues. Peaches will
not have to be thinned, while the trees
have all the fruit they can hold.
With the bearing of many young
orchards for the first time this year
the crop promises to be much larger
than last.
Cherries are ripening, and the trees
are hanging full. By the time the
cherry season is over apricots will be
ripe. From now on Kennewick will
be shipping fruit regularly.

EPSON, England - Emily Wilding
Dawson, the militant suffragette who
recently caused sensation by leaping
at the kings horse and Selling his
reins while he was galloping at full
speed in the race for the Derby, re-
covered consciousness at noon Satur-
day. She took slight nourishment but
was unable to reply to questions.
Miss Dawson is one of the best
known English suffragettes. She is a

honor graduate of London university
and of the final honor school at OK
ford.
The police have notified the author

POTATOES GROW IN DARK PIT
Seed Buried Eight Years Ago Con-
tinues Prolific.

Dayton = A freak in the horticul-
tural world was brought to light here
a day or two ago by H. Mitchell, of
this city, as he was digging pit in
his garden. About eight years ago
Mr.. Mitchell leveled his yard, and
found it necessary to fill in low
place. In doing this Mr.. Mitchell hap
pened to cover up an inverted iron
kettle.
This week in digging the pit the
kettle was uncovered and underneath
it was found growing fine hill of po-
tatoes which had been propagated
from large potato of the preceding
years growth. When the original
hole in the ground was filled in, po-
tato must have been under the kettle,
and each year crop of potatoes has
been raised, it is believed.
Seven potatoes, taken from under
the kettle this year, were from half
inch to an inch through and had no
soil over them.

Antitrust Suits Forecast.

Washington, D. C.-Neither the
Standard Oil nor the tobacco trust has
been actually dissolved to meet the re-
quirements of the Sherman law, ac-
cording to the views of Attorney-Gen-
eral McReynolds.
When this became known it was
taken as forecast of further action
against the oil as we'll as the tobacco
trusts, if the results of the investiga-
ton just completed by the department
of Justice of the workings of the oil
dissolution DEGREES indicate that there
is problem which can still be dealt
with under the Sherman law. The at
torney-general's complaint is not
against the Sherman law, but against
the DEGREES of dissolution interpreting
the decisions of the United States Su-
preme court.

TO RAISE PRODUCE AT HOME
Inland Empire to Stop Importation
of Agricultural Products.

Spokane - In an effort to prevent
the annual importation into the Spo-
kane country of $40, 900, 600 worth of
agricultural products, the business
men of Spokane will commence this
fall a three-year campaign for more
corn, alfalfa, poultry, hogs and dairy
ing in the tributary territory.
Professor Perry G. Holden, the fam
GUS Iowa corn expert, has been en-
gagged to direct the work, which will
cover Eastern Washington, Northern
Idaho, Southeastern British Columbia,
Northeastern Oregon and Western
Montana.
Under the leadership of the Spokane
chamber of commerce, an organization
of 1900 business men, series of al
falfa automobile trains" will be run
in all directions from Spokane next
October, to carry the message of al
falfa growing from the towns directly
to farmers homes, schoolhouses and
fields. Thereafter the campaign will
be directed toward bringing about
more corn growing and hog, cattle and
poultry raising. -
"The states of Washington, Oregon,
Idaho and Montana annually import
$29, 900, 900 worth of packing house
products and enough other things, such
as dairy products, poultry and eggs,
to swell the total to $40, 900, 900, !"
states President Charles Hebberd, of
the chamber Of commerce. eve
ought to be raising all these things
right here in the Spokane country,
where we have every requisite for
their successful production. In many
sections of this country our farmers
are demonstrating that soil and eli
mate are adapted to the growing of
corn and alfalfa, and the large import.
alton of dairy products, cattle, poul-
try, eggs and hogs makes the market
splendid one.
"By carrying the proper kind of
messages to the farmers, and with
Professor Holden at the head of the
work, we feel that the few thousand
dollars we shall put into the work will
be repaid by the increased prosperity
that is sure to follow"

Items on the General Industrial and Educational Development
and Progress of Rural Communities, Public lns0'u' -
CYRUS Neil, Former Range hlng'
Turns to Agriculture.

snokane-Practical application OF
modern dry farming methods has rev.
authorized the agricultural situation
IN the Western Whitman county re-
o;on according to Cyrus Neil, the for
mer "sheep king" of Whitman, who
bas disposed of his flocks and has de-
voted his stock ranch to wheat grow
mo Mr.. Neil has turned his atten-
+;on to the problems that confront the
farmer with the intention of mastering
them. and this year he has over lzOO
acres of fall-sown grain near La
Crosse that is regarded as one OF the
most promising fields ever seen IN that
district at this season.
"For years it was believed that
Western Whitman county, at least the
greater portion of it, would never be
anything but a grazing region, the
light soil and the small amount OF
precipitation annually putting it IN
the dry belt class, said Mr.. Neil.
Experiments the last few years have
proven conclusively that the land in
our district will produce greater
WELD year after year with less moist
ure than is required in the black land
region in the hill counties of the
Northwest, and the expense of har-
vesting is much less, as we can oper-
ate combined harvesters, while head
ers and binders have to be resorted to
in the rougher regions.
"In Western Whitman county there
is no question but the crop will be the
heaviest since the district has been
farmed. The early grain already is
sufficiently developed that nothing but
a series of hot winds will harm it, and
so these there is little danger, as there
is too much snow in the mountains,
and the late grain is maturing better
than ever saw it. Our only fear
now is that there will not be enough
field hands available to operate the
machines during harvest, and that loss
may be sustained by the grain becom-
ing over-ripe and SCATTERING before it
can be cared for"

TARIFF HITS TOBACCO TRUST
Attorney General Approves Tax
According to Output.


Washington, D. C.-In accord with
suggestions of Attorney General Nc
Reynolds, Senator Hitchcock, OF Ne
braska. introduced an antitrust
amendment to the Underwood tariff
bill which would levy special addl-
tional excise tax on sliding or grad
mated scale on manufactures of cigars,
tobacco, cigarettes and snuff. The
amendment, coming from a Demo
cratic member, will receive thorough
consideration from the finance COM
mittee.
The progressive excise tax proposed
would not reach manufacturer until
he controlled about Is per cent of the
total production of the articles. over
that amount he would be taxed in
sliding scale on tobacco l cent pound
for the 1000, 900 pounds per quarter;
2 cents pound for the second l,OOO,-
600 pounds and so on up to 6 cents
pound.
These graduated taxes would be in
addition to the regular 8 cents pound
tax that all manufacturers pay on to-
bacco. The same is true of the pro-
gressive tax on cigars, cigarettes and
snuff.
Companies of ordinary size would
not be subject to this because it does
not annlv tn a production below g.
900, 900 pounds of tobacco or q, 600, QUO
pounds of snuff year, so that of the
27O0 tobacco companies in the coun-
try, probably only three would be af-
fected, and of the 70 snuff COM
panies, only three would be taxed. In
the matter of cigarettes the tax would
fall only on two or three companies
out of 478, and of the 10000 cigar
companies only two have a production
large enough to be taxed.
Seventy million dollars was the
amount of the total excise last year on
tobacco products and Senator Hitch
cock has estimated that if the pro-
posed tax had been levied on last
years business, "the former trust con-
cerns' would have paid the additional
tax as follows: American Tobacco
company, $7,5OO,OOO; Leggett &
Myers, SO. 100, 900; Lorillard & Co.,
$144, 900; American Snuff company,
SIT, 900; George w. Helm company,
500, 900; Weyman & Burton COM
pany, $4,000.
