The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-07-01

Governor Lister has completed the
appointment of the agricultural COM
mission, and from what we can learn
has made excellent selection. Mr.. j.
H. Perkins, from Ritzville, is the new
commissioner who will have general
supervision of the commission, re-
ceiving a salary of $4,000 year. Per-
sons acquainted with Mr.. Perkins say
the appointment is first class. Under
this department he will have charge
of what was formerly the State
Veterinarian Department, under DR..
Nelson; the State Oil Inspection De-
partment, under o. III. Tozier; the
State horticultural Department,
under F. HI. Huntley; the State Dairy
and Food Inspection Department,
under L. Davies. Mr.. Perkins has
not yet appointed men to fill these
four positions. The remainder of the
Agricultural Board consists of e. x.
Flood, of Rosalia, we'll known dairy
man and Mr.. Granville Lowther, of
North Yakima, noted horticulturist.
1t is generally believed that the selec
ton of the Agricultural Board is one
of the best that could have been made.
These gentlemen have already begun
their duties, and The Ranch believes
that great good will result from this
new department.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-07-01

The 1st of July finds crop condi-
tions in the Pacific Northwest in
splendid shape. Early June rains,
following a somewhat dry season, has
been ideal for crop development. The
hay harvest is now in full operation
and an exceedingly heavy crop is be-
ing cut. The first week of harvest
was delayed somewhat by wet weather.
Since then, however, everything has
been favorable. Western Washington,
known as the home of small fruit.
makes an unusually good showing
this year, having by far the largest
crop Of berries ever harvested. The
strawberry crop was unusually heavy
and prices ranged little better than
usual. The cherry crop is the only
one which has been disappointing.
Tree fruits will not be so heavy on the
Coast as in eastern sections. The
whole state will produce less tree
fruits by far than last year, but prices
are bound to be much better. Taking
it all in all, the LIST of July has never
seen a more favorable outlook for the
farmer in the Pacific Northwest.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-07-01

The Ranch is in receipt of valuable
book, entitled "Bovine tuberculosis
and It's Control This is written by
DR.. V. A. Moore, whose reputation
as a student of tuberculosis is world
wide. The book contains about 200
pages 80 of them being plates show
ing the effect of this dreaded disease
on farm stock, especially cattle. The
first chapters are devoted to the his
tory of the disease. The second
chapter on the cause of the disease,
then the diagnosis of the disease, and
finally the control OF the disease.
Each Of these treated so fully that it
would seem any student would be able
to become thoroughly informed. The
book sells for $500, and is worth
more than this to any one interested
in live stock. 1t is published by Car
penter & Co., Ithaca, New York.

The meeting which was called on
June 18th by the trustees of the Pro-
ducers' & Consumers Union of Seat
tie to discuss the advisability of retir-
ing from business brought out one of
the largest gathering of farmers ever
held in Seattle. The discussions
were very earnest and considerable
feeling was manifest. The surprising
feature of the discussion was the
almost unanimous determination to
keep the business going in spite of
the loss which has been sustained.
1t was a splendid showing of the Co
operative spirit. No final action was
taken, but from the sentiment ex-
pressed it is probable that change
in the board of trustees will take place
and the business will be continued
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-07-01

The people Of Western Washington,
especially those representing the al
falfa growing interests, have joined
together and requested that Professor
Holden, the alfalfa expert, be sent to
Washington to teach farmers better
alfalfa growing methods. Professor
Holden is employed by the lnterna-
tional Harvester Company of Chicago,
and is paid by them for no other pur-
pose than to teach better agricultural
methods pertaining to the better grow
ing and harvesting of this great for
age crop. Some farmers are opposed
to accepting help from the Inter
national Harvester Company because
it is great corporation, but If cor
poration will employ man of Prof.
Holden's well known ability to assist
the farmers they would be unwise in
deed not to take advantage of the OPP
portunity.

The State Grange, at it's recent
meeting at Colville, endorsed a plan
of government which deserves the at
tention of the voters. 1t was proposed
that in place of the state senate that
three commissioners be elected in
each congressional district, making
fifteen in all, whose duty it would be
to be organized at all times, travel
over their respective districts, learn
what was necessary in the way of law
making and at the sessions OF legis'
lature recommend necessary laws. 1t
resolved itself into a commission form
of government for the state, similar
to the commission form adopted by
so many cities.

over the state. On the second day
the Seattle Chamber of Commerce
wired them requesting them to en-
dorse the free meat tariff, and in a
moment Of enthusiasm the convention
went on record as endorsing this.
However, the next day so much OBJ
lection was raised that the matter
was taken off the table, discussed and
laid over, thus repudiating their &C
ton in their demand for free meat.

We are publishing in this issue, be-
ginning on the first page, an article
which should have the attention of
every man who has logged off land for
sale, or incoming settlers who desire
to get home for themselves. By
reading this article one will observe
the remarkably liberal terms upon
which a settler can make a home on
logged-off lands. We doubt if any
state in the union has ever gone so
far in assisting the settler as Wash
ington by the logged off land act
passed by the last legislature. 1t
should have a careful reading.

Governor Lister has selected Frank
r. Spinning, of Sumner, as a mem
Der of the State Public Service Board.
This is one of the most important
positions of the state and we believe
the selection of Mr.. Spinning to be a
good one. Mr.. Spinning is native
son of Washington, successful farmer
and a man who has the entire con-
tidence of the community in which
he resides.

Harvesting has begun in the Pacific
Northwest, under the most fiatt ering
circumstances. The early June rains
we're so favorable to the grass crop
that the hay harvest will be unusually
large. From appearances now the
hay crop of Washington will be the
largest ever harvested. The berry
crops which are now being harvested
are also record breakers. The straw
berry harvest, which is now about
over, brought to the growers the
largest amount OF money ever paid in
this state. The crop was an enormous
one and the prices averaged fairly
we'll throughout the season. The low
price did not come until the best of
the crop was harvested.

The June 9th crop report is most
encouraging. Spring wheat being
just about the average. but winter
wheat considerable above the average.
All wheat is 5 per cent better than
last year. AS usual the Pacific North
west makes an excellent showing,
Washington standing at 95 per cent,
Oregon 81 per cent and Idaho 80 per
cent, while hay, cats and barley
makes even a better showing in the
Pacific Northwest.

VERY IMPORTANT DECISIONS.

The Supreme court Of the United
States during the past week has
rendered two Of the most important
decisions rendered by that body for a
generation. These we're both regard
ing railway rates and inter- state COM
MERGE rights. The decisions we're
written by Justice Hughes, and had
been before that body for many years.
The basis of these decisions was the
elimination of the battle which was
brought about when Judge Sanborn,
in 1907, rendered what is commonly
known as the Minnesota rate cases
against the Great Northern Railway
Co. Judge Sanborn held against the
railroad in cases affecting rates and
the company at once appealed.
The case has been fought through
all the courts and finally reached the
supreme court where it has lain for
many months. The fact that it is
now decided against the railroad and
in favor of the shipper marks it as a
decision which will form the basis of
a new system of rate making. While
the decision is favorable to the ship
per, the supreme court went into the
case of the reasonableness of rates
and in sub Joined decision decided
against the state in the case of an
other system allowing the road to
charge rates sufficient to cover not
only operating expenses but reason
able interest on it's investment.
These two decisions protect the ship
per by reasonable rates and at the
same time protect the railway in its
rights to collect interest on it's invest
ment.
In later decision handed down
last Monday the supreme court went
into the matter of rates still further
and upheld cases from Oregon. Mis-
souri,, Arkansas and West Virginia
and in every case the states were up
held. Two cent passenger rates were
affirmed in Missouri. Arkansas and.
West Virginia and the maximum
freight laws of Missouri and Oregon
we're upheld. In every state the de-
cision OF the railway commissioner
where commissions are established
was approved. These decisions will
work for great good. While apparent
ly they are against the railway COM
panies they are so only in measure,
for the railroads are protected from
attacks by unwise legislators and at the
same time the shipper is protected.
Eventually it will work for the better
ment of all parties.

The alfalfa growers about Toppenish
are organizing in determination not
to sell their crop of alfalfa for less
than $40 ton. Alfalfa at 80 a ton
is very profitable crop, and we
sincerely hope growers may be able to
get this amount.

If some farmers would spend more
