DEMONSTRATION WORK AT KING
COUNTY FAIR GROUNDS.
By H. w. Sparks.

For forage crops we selected oats
and field peas, oats and spring vetch,
peas, vetches, mangles, rutabagas and
three varieties of corn. The three
varieties of corn were all planted May
5th, using plenty of seed, giving us a
heavy stand, which was reduced to
the desired uniform stand by hand
thinning. We selected Pride of the
North and King Phillips varieties,
eastern grown seed, to test against
our White Rustler, college farm grown
seed, which has record briefly stated
as follows: During the fall of 1908
we observed small patch of corn
growing near Gig Harbor, across Lake
Washington from Tacoma, and, upon
investigating we found some ears ma
ture enough for seed. We secured two
ears of this corn, one of which was
delivered to the Western Washington
Station, and the other to the Agron-
omy division OF the Experiment Sta
ton at the State College, where it was
grown in variety tests with any other
varieties, for two years. have been
informed that this variety, which has
been identified as a strain Of the
White Rustler, has produced better
yields of mature corn, with salts
factory stock and foliage to make it
desirable for silage, than any other
variety tried. Relying on the theory
of the desirability of acclimated,
home grown seed, we planted this seed
by the side of the others, each receiv-
ing the same care. This resulted in
a splendid demonstration in favor of
our acclimated seed. The Pride of
the North, and King Phillip each gave
greater growth of stock and foliage,
but no ears of corn at the close Of the
season beyond the silking stage.
On the 9th day of September we
gathered an exhibit from the White
Rustler for the King County Fair,
which was afterward shown at two
other Western Washington fairs, thus
coming under the observation of not
less than 100000 visitors at these
fairs, and is now on exhibit at the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce. At
that time this corn was matured
enough for good silage and we found
many ears ripe enough for seed, some
of which we have selected for future
planting and improvement. We

DAHLIAS AND SWEET PEAS.

Dahlias, sweet peas and roses oc-
cupy the attention of E. r. Roberts,
horticulturist expert for The Ledger
and News, and the attentions of his
clients, too, judging from the number
of inquiries he is receiving on that
score. Mr.. Roberts is quietly but
Systematically starting sweet pea
campaign, and hopes in the next few
years to see not only Tacoma, but
every city and village in Western
Washington specialize in this flower.
Mr.. Roberts is a strong advocate of
the plan of sowing sweet peas in a
clump, the vines rising to form a floral
pyramid, instead of placing them
along a wall as is done by many
gardeners. He hopes to make many
converts to his plan before planting
time, and thus gives added beauty
and variety to Tacoma's floral dis
plays this summer. OF sweet peas he
said: -
zone may obtain some delightful
effects by sowing two or three colors
of sweet peas together, or perhaps
three different vraieties in clumps
Not all Of one kind should be planted
in a single clump, but each should
have two or three varieties. If the
colors which are intended to be as
sociated are carefully chosen, the re-
suit is most pleasing.
"For instance, SOW together Dorothy
Eskford, white, and Queen Alexand-
ria, scarlet; Mrs. Walter Wright,
bright mauve, and Hon. Mrs. Ken
yon, primrose, Romolo Peazzani,
mauve, aud Henry Eckford, apricot
shade. The colors of these co-mingle
most harmoniously, and once this
method is tried, feel sure it will be-
come an annual practice in every
garden in the city.
"Many other color combinations
will suggest themselves.
eff our seed merchants make a
special feature of sending out in the
same packet two or three different
varieties of sweet peas, carefully
selected with view to harmonious
color associations, the use of the
flower this way will become univer-
SAL"
In regard to dahlias, the expert
said:
"The dahlia is a tuberous-rooted
plant, which is propagated either by
seeds OF division of the root. The
seeds are chiefly used for raising new
