wraps each apple. His fruit goes to
the market so dainty that those that
see it can not help but have desire

the same. If he has White Leghorns,
his hens will all lay white eggs. Ii

By Harry HI. Collier.

We we're over in North Yakima the
other day and were surprised to hear
the way that sentiment among the
farmers was changing. A few years
back one could only hear talk of or
chards and what apples we're doing,
who we're planting as we'll as who was
making the big sale of fruit trt es.
The sentiment has changed. The
talk in North Yakima today is about
the man who was putting in COWS and
pigs. The man who was raising corn
and feed that would produce good
COWS as we'll as fat hogs. Along with
this sentiment there was some poul-
try talk. One editor of daily paper
told me that within the last few
months many of these stock ranches
had become interested in poultry.
That is, pure bred poultry. He gave
as an instance a conversation that he
heard between two cattle men. Men
who had put quite little money in
a dairy herd. One man said to the
other: 81 am going to put in pure
bred poultry. Not that l care so
much for poultry, but simply as an
advertising feature. / had two men
come to my place to buy Holstein
calf not long ago and l heard one
man say to the other: do you know
that the average breeder of pure bred
cattle has no time for anything else
that is good. In fact if he keeps
chickens they are the commonest OF
scrubs. If he keeps dog it is gen
orally some mongrel. Now so far on
this ranch we have seen everything
pure bred. The work horse is fine
animal. The dog is a good Collie
and the pigs are Poland Chinas.
Now let's inst for fun take look at
his chickens, there are some scrubs
on this ranch These two men went

around to my chicken yard, and to
my chagrin they found nothing but
the most common dung hill fowls.
Fowls that I had picked up anywhere
men they were an eyesOre, am 60
ing to get some pure bred fowls and
not keep a scrub of any kind on the
place, even TO the cat.
This kind. of sentiment is growing
not only i'll Yakima county, but gem
orally all over America. If man
finds it profitable to keep pure bred
COWS, pure bred hogs and we'll bred
horses, there is no reason why pure
bred bunch of poultry would not pay.
The average farmer can raise poul-
try cheaper than the town lot man.
He can feed lot of poultry on the
waste of the farm. There are hun
dreds of bushels of grain that go to
waste that could be turned into eggs
with proper management. The poul-
try that has the range of the farm can
be made to pay big profit and it
they are pure bred they will return
more profit per hen and at the same
time be good to look upon. The man
that has no idea for the beautiful in
poultry will be sluggard in the
handling of his other pure stock. 1t
is the beautiful in the man or woman
that makes them keep their homes in
good order.
Whether the farmer cares anything
about poultry or not it will pay him
to put in pure preds. We do not ad-
vocate crossing, but would advise the
farmers of the country who haven't
pure bred poultry on their place to at
least keep pure bred male birds.
Start in with a certain kind OF pure
bred-White Leghorns for instance
and each year get new males. II one
will do this, follow the same breed OF

WOULD DEVELOP
LOGGED LANDS
New Law Permits Formation
Of Development Districts
and to Acquire Lands

The board of commissioners of
King couny have adopted resolution
calling a special election for the form
alton of an agricultural development
district, embracing the entire county,
under the provisions of the logged
off land act passed by the last legis-
lature, and the commissioners of Che
halls county would like an expression
of public opinion as to the advisibility
of taking the same steps in this
county.
Costs Taxpayers Nothing
The law provides for the election
of three commissioners at the time
the district is voted for, and plan is
framed SO as to pay for itself.
Under the law bonds may be is
sued to the amount of 11a per cent
of the assessed value of the district,
which will include the whole county.
The bonds are retired automatically
by the payments for the land pur-
chased under the terms of the act,
and no part of it is paid by the gen.
eral taxpayers. 1t is estimated that
the opening Of logged-off areas tribu-
tary to Grays Harbor will mean the
retention of from 100000 to $1,O0O,--
900 in this territory. now sent away
from home annually.
$50 Acre Maximum
Friends of the project say that no
more than $4,000 in bonds will be
required for the purpose. The COM
mission is empowered to buy logged
off lands in large tracts and to sell
them in lots up to twenty acres. The
bonds bear S per cent. interest, and
deferred payments of land purchasers
are charged with 51a per cent to cover
the interest charges and cost Of ad-
ministration. The commission is for
hidden to pay more than $50 per acre
for land, and the assessor is required
to assess at $50 an acre any lands
that the commission is unable to buy
at that price.

BUILDING ROAD
ON new PLAN
C.M. Powell Will Try to Build
Neuskah Valley Road on
Assessment Plan

G. M. Powell, the we'll known
farmer of the Neuskah valley, will
try to have a permanent road built
from South Aberdeen to the Neuskah
valley, a distance of four and one
quarter miles, under the provisions
of the new law, permitting the as.
sessment of abutting and adjacent
lands for the cost of the improvement,
along lines similar to the procedure
in improving city streets.
The law requires the consent of
the owners of two.thirds of the lineal
feet frontage on the road in writing.
Upon the presentation of this petition,
the county commissioners may organ
ize the road improvement district and
assess the property abutting and ad-
jacent for a distance of from a quar-
ter of a mile to three miles on either
side of the road.
Although Mr.. Powell owns four
miles of the frontage on the proposed
road, he will make a strong effort to
have it built that way, as he figures
that the cost will be returned many
fold in the course of time in bringing
the products of his farm to market.
He says he finds but little opposition
among the other owners, even of un-
developed lands, as they can readily
see the rapid advance in the value
of their holdings once a good road
to market is built through or near
them.
Mr. Powell believes that this plan
of road building will solve the high
road tax problem. He cites the rapid
advance in the value of farm lands
in the Chehalis, Wynooche and Sat
sop valleys since good roads to
Grays Harbor markets have been pro-
vided, and contends that when the
trunk roads are completed perman-
emily to the ocean on both sides of
the harbor and the Olympics, via
Quiniault, the county tax levy for
roads could be confined to mainten-
ance, and all the lateral roads built
upon the assessment plan. AS soon
as land owners realize the value of
those roads to their holdings, they
will be glad enough to pay for them.
especially as the pay would come
from the enhanced land values.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept a.
The Democratic National commit.

quarters in Washington, with Offices
in the Hibbs building, and for the
next four years will wage a vigorous
campaign of education in support of
the Administration and the Demo.
cratic Senate and House.
The new Constitutional amend

Senators by direct vote of the people
makes the campaign election of 1914
one of the very greatest Importance.
There is to be thorough cooperation
and harmonious action between our
committee and the Congressional
Campaign committee, in the conduct
of the campaign. While in session

Must Raise Funds
Publicity is an expensive work, and
careful inquiry into the finances OF
the situation develops that it will re-
quire approximately $4,000 each
year for the maintenance of the per-
manent headquarters. In the opinion
of the executive campaign committee,
the importance of the undertaking
justifies an even greater expenditure,
and with resolute and confident pur.
pose our committee has inaugurated
the movement to raise the above
mentioned fund.
1t was the sense of the committee
that the $4,000 needed to maintain
an all the year round headquarters
should be raised through the me-
dium of the Democratic National
committee, and that the electoral
vote should be made the basis OF
assessment. For every electoral vote
in the States, the Democratic Nation
al committeeman will be requested
to raise $125. The basis Of assess
ment is considered by all the most
equitable that could be reached. This
basis will call for $875 from the De-
mocracy of the state Of Washington.

experienced.

Will Draw Crowds. Fine
Exhibits and Good Races

From present indications Grays
Harbor will be well represented at
the county fair at Elma next week,
where, according to l.. l. Wakefield,
who was in the city Wednesday,
many surprises will be in store from
those in this locality who have con-
cluded that lumber and fish consti-
tuted the resources of Chehalis coun-
| ty.
The stock show, especially in the
dairy line, will be a revelation to
many, while the exhibits of fruits and
produce will bear abundant testimony
to the fruitfulness of the valleys and
hillsides in the county.
chiIdren's Day, Friday.
Friday. October 3. will be Children's
Day, and the management invites
every school child in the county to
view the fair without cost. The chill
dren will be admitted free, but must
be accompanied by their parents or
day without losing their attendance
rating, which will be allowed for that
day. Speaking of the value of the
fair to the children, County Super
intendent J. w Hodge said:
Il have given the matter consider
able thought, and while I was not
consulted in the matter of selecting
the school date, I do not feel in
clined to hinder or put any obstruc-
structions in the way of good at
tendance of school children.
Il feel much good will come from
visiting the fair as from days work
in the school room. The -state law
requires pupils must be in attendance
at least an hour each half day in
order to have them counted for tax
alton purposes, but l shall construe
attendance at the fair the same as
attendance in school.
Schools availing themselves Of
this permission are expected to at
tend in a body with their teachers
or report to their teachers on the
grounds, and there should be de-
finite aim to secure good from the
attendance. We are required, begin
ming this year, to teach agriculture
in our schools, and l think l can see
where this fair may really be of
great advantage"
Special Railroad Service
From October / to inclusive, the
Northern Pacific railway will operate
steam trains on the gas motor sched-
ule, to accommodate visitors to the
fair. This train will leave Aberdeen
at 9:10 and 1850 q. m.
