FALL TILLAGE FOR DRY FARMING

During the past year the Washing
ton State Experiment Station, on its
dry farm at Ritzville, in Adams coun-
ty, has been conducting a series of
tests to determine the effect of diff
ferent methods of fall tillage on the
amount of moisture absorbed by the
soil during the winter, or rainy sea-
son.
Four plats Of ground, approximately
one-quarter of an acre each, have been
set aside for this work.
Plat 1 was left in stubble, that is, 1t
received no fall tillage.
Plat 2 was disked Immediately after
harvest to depth of three inches.
Plat was plowed after the first
fall rain to a depth of eight inches.
Plat was listed at the same time
as plat was plowed.
The following table gives the num-
Der of inches of rain in the soil Of
each plat on the first of April:
Plat 1, no tillage, 5 inches; plat 2,
disked after harvest, ia inches; plat
8, plowed eight inches, ~ inches;
plat 4, listed, 8 inches.
From the standpoint of getting mois-
ture into the soil, deep fall blowing
or fall listing is undoubtedly a profit
able farm operation and one that
should be followed by all the grain
farmers Of eastern Washington.
These plats have received exactly
the same fallow cultivation this past
summer and will be sown to bluestem
wheat next spring.
We are awaiting the results with
interest.

STILL CAMPAIGNING

The Colonel is still cam
paigning against Taft. The
last installment of his autobi-
ography is devoted to compar-
ing his own stalwart virtues
with the feeble vices of his sue
cessor. His method Of treat
ing the subjects that he handles
is amusing. The transparent
purpose of every sentence is to
fix in the minds Of the readers
a striking resemblance between
the gentle, noble, lovable Lin
coin and the strenuous, AFRO
giant colonel, while, at the same
time, striving to heap crushing
dishonor upon Taft by making
him appear as another Buchan-
nan.
The colonel's vainglorious
purpose is so obvious in every
line that it is really pathetic,
or would be if it were not 50
contemplate. For every com
mendation Of Lincoln there are
at least three illustrations com.
mandatory of Roosevelt, and
always turned to reflect dis
credit upon Taft.
The intense, gnawing eager.
ness to prove his close resemb.
lence to Lincoln that is barely
restrained from open avowa
of his belief in such likeness
bursts forth in practically
every paragraph Of this self
laudatory autobiography of T
RS. This and his unblushine
assumption Of absolute virtue
and infallibility are the mos
striking features of this pur
ported history. It is wortl
reading as an expose Of the in
ordinate vanity and the meal
and implacable hatred Of I
great mind distraught by over
mastering ambition to regain
place and power.

XMAS ENTERTAINMENT

There will be a Christmas
entertainment at the Methodist
church Christmas eve, given by
the Sunday school. Instead of
the out Of date Santa Claus,
the White Christmas" will be
observed and the decorations
and the selections on the pro-
gram will be in harmony with
the idea. Instead of the pupils
coming expecting others to
make them gifts, they will come
bringing their "white gifts"
with them.
The church maintains an old
peoples home in Spokane, and
the pupils have decided to ap-
ply their gifts toward the main
tenance Of these old folks. Pro-
visions, clothing and cash will
be brought, and later forward
ed on to Spokane, where it will
make some neglected hearts
happy. The little folks under
stand that these are birthday
presents to Jesus as he said
"Inasmuch as We have done it
unto one of the least of these
my brethren, We have done it
unto me-"

RED CROSS SEALS

If every Red Cross seal dis
tributed throughout the state
we're exchanged for a penny
by Christmas eve, Washington
would lead the Pacific north
west in the seal sale. A million
pennies-each insignificant
alone but in the aggregate a
splendid sum-providing ways
to teach the truths about tu-
berculosis and bring care and
comfort through the visiting
nurse to many victims Of the
"white plague" who would
otherwise suffer unattended.
The Washington Association
for the Prevention and Relief
of Tuberculosis has provided
the seals; they are distributed
almost at your very door; Jney
are attractive, Christmassy
little stickers, an ornament for
the back of the daintiest parcel
or letter; they are the silent
messengers of the world forces
engaged in a heroic struggle
against an ancient foe ;they ex-
list as an outlet for everyone
rich and poor, to express their
common desire to benefit hu-
mainly; they are the emblem
of the undying brotherhood of
man. Open your heart and
purse to the Red Cross Christ
mas seal. You will be happier
and the world better.

NO DOUBT COMPETENT

Cleon B. Roe, who has been
superintendent of the state re-
formatory at Monroe fol the
past five years, will be re-
moved on January LIST to make
way for Donald B. Olson.
Mr.. Roe is an experienced
institutional head, who has had
charge of the state reforma-
tory since shortly following it's
establishment. He has spent
years in reformatory work, and
is an earnest and sympathetic
student of the problems con-
nected with the treatment Of
criminals and delinquents. Be-
fore coming to Washington, he
was employed in reformatory
work in West Virginia. In fact
he has devoted the better part
of his life to this work. He has
made a splendid record at Mon
roe and has truely endeavored
tc effect genuine reformation
among those placed in his in
stitution.
Donald B. Olson, who was
appointed last Wednesday to
succeed Mr.. Roe as superin-
tendent of the reformatOry, is
an expert electrician. The re-
formatory is a big institution
and, no doubt, the services of
a competent electrician are
needed there, but heretofore
the public did not understand
that the operation of the cleo
trical plant at the reformatory
was the most important work
of the superintendent. Mr..
Olson, unquestionably, will
prove Of great assistance in the
boiler room and about the
switch board at Monroe.
