RAISING CORN ON
. DRY LAND POSSIBLE
EXPERT ADVISES METHODS To
FOLLOW IN INLAND EN-
PIRE DISTRICT.
Rainfall Is All Important Factor
Where Precipitation is Under IA
inches SummerfallOwing Necessary.
Says Pullman Man.

With the corn show now on In thi,
place the following advice from the
agriculturist at the experiment sta
ton at Pullman, Wash, is of inter.
est:
In portions of the grain belt hayins
an annual precipitation of over Is
inches, fair crops are grown without
inJuring the following grain crop.
With an annual precipitation OF
from IA to Is inches, fair crops OF
corn are grown; but the grain cror
Immediately following is MATERIAL,
reduced, except in especially favorable
spots. With an annual precipitation
of from 12 to IA inches. corn requires
a good summer fallow and no ATTEMPT
should be made to substitute 1t for
the summer fallow.
With less than 12 inches of rain
fall the success of corn is very un.
certain.
Corn growers should observe the
following points:
i. Secure acclimated seed. II no,
grown locally. secure from a locality
having conditions as similar to your
own as possible. Having secured a
satisfactory variety. save your own
seed regularly. Your corn will con.
tinue to improve as long as you grow
1t If seed Is carefully selected. Aim to
secure and develop a variety that will
utilize the entire corn growing sea-
son, yet mature nicely before the ay-
erage occurrence of killing frost. Ex-
treme earliness Is secured at the ex-
pense of yield. A variety that would
mature at Pullman would be too early
to produce maximum yields at Ken
newick. A variety may be rapidly de-
veloped for earlier or for later matur-
ity by proper selection of seed; hence
quickly adapted to the locality, IL not
wholly acclimated.
2. Do not attempt to grow corn on
poorly drained; on very poor; or on
frosty tracts. Corn Is good crop
to apply manure To. Corn 10 not a
"soil improver," like clover or alfalfa
The cultivation necessary in success
full corn growing Is the soil improv-
err"
8. Preparation OF the soil should
not be deferred until time to plant
thus permitting the soil to dry out
badly. making It humpy and impos-
sibIe to fit properly.
The best preparation requires the
following:
ta) Deep fall plowing. leaving the
furrows untouched to catch the pre-
cipitation az completely az possible.
(b) Narrowing az soon as the soil
Is 1T to work in the spring"to prevent
crusting and 20 hold the moisture.
tc) Sufficient cultivation from the
opening OF spring until corn planting
tine to keep the soil mulched and to
keep down the weeds.
td) Thorough, deep cultivation just
tefore planting. producing a deep,
mellow seed-bed.
te) Narrowing once or twice before
the corn Is big enough to cultivate.

OF decided interest is the ruling OF
the state railroad commission to the
effect the Bell telephone
Making system must provide a
Competition connection with the au-
Effec<ive- tomato or Home sys-
TEN in the Hotel Ore
gon in Portland and presumably else
where when such service is wanted
The victory for the hotel company
Is but partial since a small charge
win aave to be met on calls from the
hotel when the two services are used,
yet the principle set up by the decis-
ion Is of much importance.
The primary point involved In this
case was whether the telephone trust
should be left to its own sweet pleas
ure in the matter OF connecting with
rival companies or whether the public
convenience should be given consider.
alton. The commission holds that the
question Of service Is of first i'm
portance.
Under the ruling made it will seem
ingly be possible for patrons of inde-
pendent lines to secure long distance
connections where such connections
are now denied. II this proves to be
true the decision will be farreaching
and beneficial. Some years ago the
automatic company wanted a franch-
ise in Pendleton and the application
was turned down largely for the rea-
son no long distance service could be
guaranteed But under the ruling OF
the commission 1t seems such service
would now be available and further
more that an exchange of service be-
tween the two systems can be forced
when there are two competing lines
within a city.
II the railroad commission will but
follow Its present line OF action to its
logical conclusion and require cooper
alton between rival telephone COM
panies wherever such cooperation is
needed II will provide for a form of
thing for the public. Speed the day.

What the Corn corn show should be
sho" Proves an eye opener. The
display shows that
not only may corn be grown in this
country but that corn is grown. With
5000 ears OF corn on exhibit repre-
/ senting a total Of IFS different ex.
hibltors il is futile to say it is impos-
sible to raise corn here. Corn has al
ready arrived as successful crop in
eastern Oregon and if it proves as
profitable as Is claimed by such men
as c. L Smith ii will not be long un-
til the corn acreage will be far heavier
than at present.
Moral-if the people want self re.
specting men in public office they
must provide conditions conducive to
self respect
The corn show makes a noise like
the ultimate breaking up of some OF
our bonanza farms.

Not Quitting .Business-Sheepmen
are pessimistic over the new wool

sheep business, for they made up in

they thought they lost on their clip,
If not more; so 1t Is in order for them
to bring out their diamonds. and in
vest in autos, says the Bose (Idaho)
Statesman. 1t is fact now patent to
all the flockmasters Of the northwest
that increased prices and increased
demand for lambs and mutton have
paid the sheep owners well. 1t Is al
so fact that by constant agitation
the effect of free wool has been dis
counted for several years so that there
Is little difference in the price paid

New Creamery Formed Farmers

this time the farmers in that section
have been sending their cream to a
creamery at Walla Wala. The OBJ.
iect Of the new creamery Is to manu-

Wheat Prices E!evated-Though
~ cents is now the ruling quotation
In the local wheat market there fs no
selling underway az the farmers who
have wheat unsold are expecting Il
considerable advance in price. They
are prepared to hold until spring and
It is said no wheat can now be bought

Range Conditions Ideal-Though
the weather has been trifle cold dur

stockmen report that the range con-
ditions are still ideal. The grass con-
tinues to grow well and the stock are
