Land for Barley.

Barley should have richer land than
usually Is given to oats. 1t does not
have a very strong DOT growth and
needs a good supply of fertility 1t is
seeded in the spring, as oats are, and
yields vary, as do those of all grains.
It is harvested with a binder just as
wheat, but when wanted for mailing
there is more danger of discoloration
on account of the time that the barley
must stand in shock. The feeding
value of barley is much the same as
that of wheat.

BEST DIVERSIFIED FARM IN COUNTRY
CONTINUED from page l..

The party reached Olympia about 3
o'clock Monday afternoon, took a short
ride around the city, "chewed the rag"
at the Chamber of Commerce with a
delegation of local business men for a
while, and then started for the farm
in automobiles driven by F. M. Ken
ney, president of the Chamber, c. j.
Lord, w. A. Weller, c. A. Harmony,

down to the Thurston county dinner
furnished by Mr.. Brown, President
Kenney of the Chamber acting as
chairman of the short meeting which
followed, welcoming the visitors on
behalf of the county and calling upon
Mr.. Brown to tell the assemblage some
of the facts about his farm This he
did, but he had not gotten far in his
story before he was interrupted by a
series of questions from all sides,
which he glibly answered as the rail
road men grabbed pad and pencil to
note them down.
Then came the trip around the big
ranch, the last stop being made at the
horse barns where some excellent ami
mails were displayed amid the paud-
its of the visitors. The trip through
out was a chorus of EXPLANATIONS and
surprises, and as they climbed into
the automobiles to catch the train at
Sherlock they accorded Mr.. Brown
three rousing cheers.
In the party were l.. j. Bricker, gen.
eral immigration agent, st. Paul. L. s.
Wood, his secretary; C. e. Arney, Wes-
tern freight and immigration agent,

STORIES or THE CAPITOL


Assurance was received by Acting
Governor Louis F. Hart this week
rom Congressman Albert Johnson
hat Congress would act in the matter
of creating legal machinery for the d.
rect election of United States senator's,
hereby doing away with any neces-
|sity of calling special session OF the
legislature. Mr.. Johnson states th2t
he death of Senator Johnston of Ala
bama has brought the matter to head
at Washington and that legislation is
being framed.
The Olympia Southern has fled a
petition with the public service com
mission asking permission to cross
several city streets in Centralia and
Chehalis at grade, to connect with the
aymond branch the Milwaukee is
now building. There now remains but
| little doubt that the new company is
owned by the Chicago, Milwaukee &
Puget Sound. Officers of the company
are said to have told the commission
ers they would build their line into
Olympia, if permitted to cross the twin
city streets at grade.
Attorney General w. V. Tanner and
Land Commissioner Clark V. Savidge
returned this week from Washington,
D. c., where they have spent most of
the summer in attempting to effect a
transfer of federal lands in this state
to the state. They report that the ne
gotiations are now in the hands of
Attorney General McReynods and no
definite action is expected until Sec
rotary of the Interior Lane reaches
Washington next month, when Mr..
Tanner may have to return.
Holding that the legislature has no
authority to issue bonds without a
vote fthe people, except in emergen-
lies, and following closely the decision
Of the state supreme court in the cap
itol bond issue case. Assistant Attor-
| ney General Lyle this week ruled that
the state cannot legally issue the $780,
600 in bonds appropriated at the last
session for the purchase of the Lew,
iston-C Charleston interstate bridge.
