SUITABLE FRUITS FOR PLANTING
WEST OF CASCADES.

State College, Pullman, Feb. I'm
answer to the many inquiries which
are being received, the horticultural
department of the State Agricultural
Experiment Station at Pullman,
WASH, has prepared the following list
of fruits for planting in that part OF
the state lying west of the Cascade
mountains. In many cases the vari-
cites to be recommended for planting
in other parts of the state are different
and will be found in other lists. The
following list does not include all the
varieties which Nigh be planed, but
those which experiments and practical
bearing orchards have shown to be
desirable for general planting. The
letters (E), (M) and Gu following
the names indicate early, mid-season
and late ripening varieties, respective
ly. The varieties are arranged alpha
betically in each case:
Apples-Gravenstein { ny, Crimes
Golden (L), King (M), Northern Spy
(L), Olympia L., Ortley (L), Wage

land is better than new for bean
culture. That an inverted clover bed
brings full harvest. And that when
grown in rows between clover and
wheat, beans not only flourish OF
themselves, but fill the ground with
nitrates.
For planting time there are no set
rules, only the common sense advice
based on the fact that the bean seed
needs warm ground. When once this
is understood, the wise farmer bides
his time independent of rule or date.
The most successful bean growers of
the Northern states recommend plant
ing about the middle of June. Ex-
perts agree that the blowing should
be at least six inches deep.
Since demand regulates supply, it
is safe to predict for 1913 far more
general growth of enthusiasm among
farmers that will keep pace with the
way beans are growing in popularity
and favor with every one.
From every point of view there is
wisdom in the old saying about the
man who "knows beans" Everybody
ought to know them-from the con-
sumner whose bone and tissue, brain
and muscle are all enriched and i'm
proved by diet of good old fashion
ed beans, to the farmer who in beans
has an opportunity of raising a safe
and heavy crop and of finding a ready
market, at top prices.

MONEY In BEANS.

Why do our farmers allow Cne porJs
of New York and New Orleans to be
crowded with beans from the countries
of Southern Europe and almost every
other part of the world?
Why haven't they walked up to the
abundant profit from easy crops of
beans raised at home?
The answer is, they have. Farmers
all over the country are being reused
more and more to the Importance OF
this hardy, nourishing vegetable, its
Importance as staple article of diet
wholesome and nourishing-andi its
value to the farmer as a safe and
profitable crop.
But there is still an overwhelming
demand with which home production
has not COPIED. And with beans pass
ing the 81 so per bushel mark, it be-
hooves every thinking farmer to con-
slider seriously whether or not he will
share in these profits by growing beans
on a good, big scale in 1913.
A fair idea Of the possibilities in
the total yield may be seen in the
figures representing an output of only
the three states of Michigan, New
York and Wisconsin. The bean yield
for 1912 in these three states alone
amounted to 10000 carloads, each
having capacity of 10000 pounds,
which means eight hundred million
pounds of beans.
And not only in these wonder work
ing states, but almost anywhere in
the Union, beans of one variety or
another can be grown profitably.
Ithas been shown that they will
mature successfully in all Northern
ATTITUDES and many of the Southern
states have made excellent showing
in the way of good bean production.
More people are eating beans. 1t
is no longer the laboring classes those
who are forced to economic who
select beans as an article of steady
diet. People are learning the remark
able nutriment of we'll cooked beans.
American Gamers by vigorous ex
ploitation have created new demand
for beans. They have brought people
to knowledge of the delicious flavor
of beans when rightly prepared, as
we'll as their rich food value. And,
because of the trade they have thus
built up, these industries consume
annually quantities of beans so vast
that they are almost unbelievable.
The market page, with it's reports
of high and steadily increasing prices
is proving decided encouragement
to the farmer-is opening his eyes to
the really tremendous possibilities in
bean culture.
1t is not necessary for him to
specialize on fancy varieties.
Simple white "navy" beans are
gaining in popular favor at an ex-
traordinary rate. They will grow in
almost any soil. Wherever wheat and
corn will grow-you can raise beans.
From Maine to Florida every degree
of latitude seems to suit this adapt
able crop In all the North Central
states these beans will thrive, and
hundreds of thousands of bushels are
raised In Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ohio and

NO ElGHT-HOUR LAW IN
 p. o. DURING HOLIDAYS


 WASHINGTON, Nov. 24-Although eprecating the necessity for overwork- ing it's employees, the postoffice de partment today announced that it would be compelled to close it's eyes to the federal eight-hour law during the Christmas rush of mail matter.
 Carriers and clerks, it was declared, would have to face the necessity of losing beauty sleep and of putting in long hours in order that a congestion of mail matter might be avoided.
 While it is not desired to work un- due hardships on the employees of the service" said First Assistant Postmas- ter-General Roper today, "yet it must be kept in mind that the Christmas sea- son is an emergency recognized by the department as justifying the employ ment of clerks and carriers for more than eight hours daily"

IS COMING
 OVER STRONG THURSDAY

 Both teams have been conscientious ly practicing for the past several days and the game promises to be more in teresting even than that played on the Treadwell grounds a week ago. It is understood that the Treadwell team will be materially strengthened which will place it in position to con test with a prospect of winning. Babe Sample will probably be in the game for Treadwell although this has not been definitely announced. The Gas tineau team will probably take the field without any changes of import anee.

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY
 SATURDAY NIGHT
O-O

There was great excitement around the St. George boarding house for several minutes last night Bur glars, night providers of some sort, ef- fected an entrance to the place by coming over the roof of the south east wing of the building which is only one story in height and easily ap- preached from the sidehill. Once on the roof it was an easy matter to open a window and enter.
