HAY GROWERS TO COMBINE.

ELLENSBURG, Wash. March 21.-
That practically all of Kittitas coun-
try's annual production of Is, 900 tons
of hay will be handled this year
through a cooperative marketing as
b sociation, owned and controlled by
the producers, was the statement
made here last evening by w. W..
Robinson Of Seattle, one of the best
known hay men in the Pacific north
west. Plans are now we'll underway
for the formation of the association
and over $50, 900 has already been sub

the project.

the very effective work done on the
agricultural trains, by using that
most modern vehicle-the automobile
going directly to the peope on their
farms where the meetings are to be
held,
Agricultural development needs in
addition to the work of our public
institutions, the individual effort of
every merchant, banker, corporation,
or laboring man, and this plan calls
for their heartiest cooperation.
This plan for increasing the yields
of our crops by the more extensive
growing of that wonderfuls soil i'm
proven, alfalfa, is meeting the approval
of all men who have any knowledge OF
the beneficial results of it's introduc-
ton as general crop.
Campaigns are now being organized
in five different states, and Professor
Holden is daily answering requests
for his assistance in organizing other
localities, and invites cordial Co
operation with every community in
tereSted.

RAIDER, has been at work for the last
few weeks, endeavoring to ascertain
the feeling of hay growers regarding
the formation of a marketing concern.
The committee has met with distinct
success, and has over $50, 900 pledged.
1t is planned to raise at least $50, 600
in the Kittitas country.
Over $50, 600 has been subscribed
toward the project by the hay grow
ers in Skagit county. The annual
production of hay in that section
totals over 46, 900 tons. Although no
special effort has been made to in
terest the lower valley hay growers,
over $50, 600 has been subscribed from
that section. Yakima county pro-
duces annually some 242, 900 tons of
alfalfa, much OF which is grown on
the Yakima reservation.

schools, colleges, institute workers,
Chautauqua lecturers, and others in
terested in the work will be assisted

slides. Alfalfa literature and booklets
will be given wide distribution
