DAIRY PRODUCTS INCREASE
Importations 40 Per Cent Less Than
Previous Year.

Snokane-There has been reduc-
t;on Of 40 per cent this year in the
amount of money sent out Of the state
of Washington Tor dairy products, &C
cording to an estimate by Deputy
state Commissioner Of Agriculture II.
T. Graves while in Spokane recently.
DR.. Graves, who was formerly with
the city health service, is in charge OF
the dairy and live stock divisions OF
the state department Of agriculture.
IA year ago the people Of Washing
ton were sending out of the state ap-
proximately 81, 900, 900 for dairy pro-
ducts" said DR.. Graves. "By the
close of this year ! believe this amount
will be cut down at least 40 per cent.
"This is due to the fact that there
has developed a new interest in the
dairy business all over the state. This
state is naturally fitted for the dairy
business and before many years we
will not be sending out money fol-
dairy products. Instead, Washington
is destined to become a great exporter
of dairy products.
"The state department of agricul-
ture is doing everything in its power
to stimulate the dairy and livestock
industries. We are encouraging the
dairymen to get in better stock, and
there is a big movement in this re-
spect. We are issuing bulletins along
practical lines and it is our purpose to
be of assistance to every farmer and
stockman in the state"

FREE SUGAR FIGHT IS WON
wilson Program Carries and All
Amendments Are Lost.

Washington, D. C.-Presidept Will
sons programme for free sugar il
1916 carried the day in the senate
when the Democrats rallied to the sup.
mort Of the tariff bill and defeated all
amendments to the sugar schedule.
With all but Senators RanSdell and
Thornton, Of Louisiana, standing
firmly for the administration, the
Bristow amendment for q compromise
duty: the Norris amendment against
free sugar, and the Gallinger amend
ment against free maple sugar.
An amendment to abolish the Dutch
standard color test for sugar was
adopted during the fight. Under ita
provisions the Dutch standard, against
which q consistent fight has been
waged since 1909, is abolished as soon
as the tariff bill becomes law, In
stead of next March as the bill other
wise would have provided.
Senator Bristow's amendment would
have established a gradual reduction
in duty from the present tariff Of
81. 80 per hundred pounds until in six
wears the tariff would have been
S1.27a. Under the Cuban treaty this
would have established 81 cent tariff
on Cuban sugar, which constitutes the
bulk of the imports into the United
States.
The proposal to put all cane and raw
sugar on the free list in 1916, behind
which President Wilson had mustered
the Democratic majority after long
persistent effort, came squarely before
the senate on a motion by Senator
Norris, Republican, to strike out that
feature of the bill. This was defeated
by viva voce vote, and Senator Nor
ris made no demand for roll call.

START ALFALFA CAMPAIGN
Farm Expert to Rouse Northwest
to Recognize Opportunities.

Farm Expert to Rouse Northwest
to Recognize Opportunities.
Spokane the slogan, ssMore
alfalfa means more dollars" Profess
sor Perry G.. Holden, the man who put
Iowa on the map as corn state, will
conduct Enthusiastically strenuous
alfalfa campaign in the Inland Empire
commencing Wednesday, September
"a.
Forty Inland Empire communities,
speaking through their commercial
clubs, have invited the famous agri-
culturist to include their districts in
the campaign, which Professor Holden
has promised shall include every To-
cality of the Inland Empire that will
take an active interest in the move
ment.
The campaign will be arranged by
the Spokane Chamber of Commerce,
cooperating with commercial organi-
cations of the Inland Empire. For
four weeks Professor Holden and his
associates will carry the message of
more alfalfa, hogs and dairying to the
fields and schools and business houses
of the Inland Empire. The party,
which will be augmented by a number
of Spokane business men, will travel
by special train, and at each stop will
make swift automobile excursions to
the surrounding farms and to COM
munity gatherings, to tell of the won
ders of alfalfa.
The opening gun of the campaign
will be an alfalfa day at the Spokane
Interstate fair, probably Thursday,
September >18. The next event will be
rally Of. northwest governors,
grange and farmers union officials,
educational leaders, bankers, railroad
officials and business men Of Spokane.
This will be followed on the. succeed
ing day by the departure of the special
train.
Speaking of the campaign President
Charles Hebberd of the chamber of
commerce said: "This is of vital i'm
portance to the prosperity of every
man, woman and child in the Inland
Empire. The alfalfa demonstration
work will be the first step in three
year campaign for more alfalfa, hogs,
corn and dairy herds in the Inland En-
pire.
"Here is the idea in a nutshell !:
The states of Washington, Oregon,
Idaho and Montana import annually
$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, 000,-
600. We ought to be raising these
things right here in the Inland EN-
pire, where we have every requisite
for their successful production.
"It costs $1.043 to produce the aver
age bushel of wheat, including the
wear and tear of the soil, according to
so well-known an authority as DR.. J..
H. Worst, president of the North Da-
kota agricultural college. He says
the farmers are mining the soil and
robbing future generations every time
they grow a wheat crop, and that they
are in reality producing the crop at a
real cash loss every year, considering
the present and future interests of all
concerned.
''Instead of these vast wheat farms
in various parts Of the Inland Empire,
we should have more farmers produc-
ing things at real profit, things that
will conserve the soil and will mean
prosperity for all. !"

Repeatedly Speed folded his arms
over his stomach, rocked in the throes
of anguish, and walled that he was
perishing of cramps; the trainer only
snorted with derision. When he re-
fused to don the clothes selected for
him, Glass fell upon him like a raging
grizzly.
"You won't, eh?" Well see!"

But Glass jerked him violently, cry

Speed halted stubbornly.
"Hit her up, Wally! G'wan, now
faster! No loafing, 30, or I'll wallop

both paused from exhaustion. Even
then he would not allow his charge to
do more than regain his breath be-

"Willie!"
That's who"

With knees trembling beneath him
Speed logged feebly on down the road,
Glass putting at his heels.
When, after covering five miles,
they finally returned to the Flying
Heart, it was with difficulty that they
could drag one foot after another.
Wally Speed was drenched with per-
spiration, and Glass resembled moth

rivulets of sweat ran down his neck,
his face was purple, his lips swollen.

COTTON GINNED To SEPT. |
BREAKS FORMER RECORDS

The greatest quantity of cot
ton ever ginned in the period
prior to September l was re-
ported by the census bureau
Monday when it was announced
that 794, OO6 bales of the growth
OF 1913 had been put out from
the glnneries throughout the
South since the beginning of
the ginning season.
The heavy ginnings for this
period of the season are the re-
suit of an early maturing of the
crop and of an effort of the
farmers to beat the boil weevil.
In the opinion of census bureau
officials.
All States reported an in
creased ginning for the period
over last years totals for that
time with the exception of
Texas and North Carolina. Last
year to September l there had
been ginned 5.4 per cent of the
entire crop; in 1911 the quantity
was D per cent.
Cotton from the growth of
1913 ginned prior to September /
amounted to 794, 006 bales, count
ing round as half-bales, the
census bureau announced Mon
day In It's first ginning report of
the season.
This compared with 73O, 935
last year to September l, 77I,-
29l bales in 1911 and 353, oil
bales in 1910.
Round bales included in this
report numbered 1854. COM
