which opens at the Lobby next Monday
night and continues throughout Thurs

But it Is upon the generosity of the
people of Olympia and Thurston coun-

royal reception the preliminaries to
the week of fun have received would
indicate widespread interest in the
novel affair. The whole plan has been
made with the idea of appealing to the
local people and theirs will be not only
the fun but the benefit as well, for the
proceeds will go to the building OF a

grower would send to the cannery q
sack or so Of beans from his one-half
acre his neighbor would send in 8 or
10 sacks from his quarter Of an acre.
At the end Of the season we had paid
the grower of the one-half acre $36
for his crop while the grower Of the
one-quarter Of an acre we paid little
over SIC. We wish to say here that
the SIC represented q larger amount
of beans than can be expected year in
end year out. but as we are all aware
last year was an exceptionally good
growing year.
While we were very pleased with the
results of the one-quarter acre we were
also disappointed at the amount
produced from the one-half
acre. In making inquiries we
found from the man who had ploughed
the ground of the disappointed grower
that the land was of the prairie variety
and the soil was from one to five
inches deep with hard subsoil of
clay which baked hard during the dry
season. In fact he stated that in a
good many places he turned the clay
on top of the ground which klainly ex-
plained to us the cause of the poor
crop.
The grower of the successful crop
has at this time made application to
us for contract for three acres of
beans. He states that he is going to
follow Prof. Sparks advice and apply
lime freely in order to counteract the
acid in the soil and predicts bumper
crop. The other grower with the poor
soil we would rather not see attempt
again to grow beans, at least not on
the same soil, as the disappointment OF
that kind is not only distressing to
him and ourselves but acts as dis
couragement to other growers.
Those contemplating setting out
raspberries, logan berries and black
berries are now visiting the cannery
for the purpose of finding out where to
obtain their plants and those who
were not able to attend the meeting,
the necessary information as to the
setting out of their berries. Most
everyone is aware that cuthbert rasp-
berries are set out in rows s feet apart
with twenty inches between the plants
in the row.
Loganberries are also s feet apart
in rows, though great many growers
vary as to the distance apart the
| plants should be set in the rows.
Professor Stahl Of the Experiment
Station recommends 16 feet apart, but

the local cannery recently held two
days course on horticulture by the
professors of the Western Washington
Experiment station.
1t Is the yield that counts, and in
order to obtain large yield the grow
er must have as much knowledge ot
the fruit growing business as possible
and with his knowledge he must also
expend a certain amount Of energy in
crder to obtain results, or rather q
large yield of fruit in which to turn
into cash at the cannery. A great
many people think that all that is nee.
essary in raising fruits Is to stick the
small tree or plant into the ground
and wait for it to develop and produce
g money making crop. These same
growers are always surprised and at a
loss to know why their neighbor who
is hard and energetic worker and
who fertilizes and cultivates his crop
should produce many times the volume
of fruit that their trees or bushes pro-
duce.
The cannery last year had many
opportunities to note the difference In
growers and the amount produced on
equal acreage. One thing must be
remembered from the outset, and that
is that crops will not grow on poor
land. This is pretty hard for some
growers to realize.
We sight this one striking example
which came before us last season when
growers who had contracted for
beans were bringing their harvest to
the cannery. A grower who had con
tracted and had set out One-half acre
OF pole beans complained bitterly at
the littleness Of his crop. He stated
that the seeds furnished to him by the
cannery were of poor quality and
did not produce and that he had done
all that was possible and had lost
money on the crop. On the other hand
neighbor of this disappointed grower
had also contracted with us for quar-
ter OF an acre Of the same kind OF
beans and while the disappointed

From of old hath Thy tender benefcence
Accompanied Thy commands.
From the regions of space Thou dds gather the mists
OF matter, all formess and vast,
And from of the void, for lives yet to appear,
The forms of the planets cast.
And the EARTH oh! the earth, and its bounteous pan
We thank Thee, our Lord, for this palace for
For the beauty of dawn when the day has begun,
And the glow of the west in the evening low sun;
For the day following night and the wonderful range
Of the earth round the giving their changes
For the light of the stars and the blue of the sky,
And the clouds in their loftiness journeyng by;
For the hills towering high and the valleys between,
Where the homes of earhs peoples in safety seen;
For the oceans that roll and the heat of the sun,
And the rains the fields when the paintings done
For the white of the lily and the green of the fields
And the gold of the harvess and bountiful yeilds;
For the earth and its funess, and bounties grand
AS the love of an infinite God could command,
We thank Thee our Lord; we thank Thee our Lord
And for promises clear of life yet to be,
In the light of Thy throne, and still to Thee
We thank Thee, our Lord we thank Thee. our Lord.

crisis that demands of man the de-
mocracy of Brotherhood, as well as
that of Souls. For these many
things, we reverently offer thanks,
knowing in our hearts that the
gifts bestowed upon us in our hour
of distress and need, came from out
the past of ages gone and from the
source of voice on high that ever
pleads for the goodness that lives
in the hearts of all.
In this age of progress proven
advancement has produced results
beneficial not only to the producers;
for the idea of better conditions
for the masses has even been for
most in the construction of enter
prises from which man and child,
citizen and prisoner, enjoys the
fruits. These are the great gifts of
pleasures and joys that we in our
seltishness have failed to recognize
in our greed of self alone; these are
the rewards of toll and deprivations,
given with hands of generosity
that we may feel and know that
brotherly love passionately en-
treats us to accept and abide by
the universal desire to be thank
ful whatever our earthly conditions
may be.

Because, we can see the dawning of

the steady improvement in social

we should all be thankful, because il
matters not in what condition of life
we are in whether our station is
high or low, bond or free, we can
contribute our share towards the
coming new and better day. Behold!
