WHY M. o. HOUSE FLOURISHES

The students of advertising at the
State College are studying the status
of the local business man and the mail
order houses. They have discovered
that mail order houses through their
catalogs keep every possible customer
fully informed concerning every ar
ticle for sale, even to illustrations and
prices in detail. Very frequently the
customer cannot get what he wants
at the local stores-at any rate he Is
obliged to Make the rounds" Of his
merchants to ascertain what they
have. Little wonder then that the
farmer takes the easy method Of fill
ing out an order blank and orders his
goods from Chicago. True, he must
wait a week or more to receive the
shipment, but he would rather wait
than run risk Of a fruitless trip to his
local merchant. True, he has to
order in quantities and advance the
cash. But the suggested saving Is
what he is after.
Perhaps there Is a suggestion in this
for the local merchant, says Prof.
Starring. Should he not keep his pos
sible customers fully informed as to
what he has for sale? Could he not
offer the same liberal discount for
large cash sales-advertise it, in fact?
Could he not offer special prices on
certain commodities more frequently?
Not on everything-but say a special
price on two or more articles each
week? The mail order houses do not
make big money on their cut prices
on staple articles. Their profit is made
on the sale of other goods which &C
company orders for cut-priced goods.
Would it pay local merchants to com
bine or issuing an illustrated catalog
to connect up with local newspaper adj
vertising? This has been tried sue
c~essfully in the East.

A special meeting of the White Com
mercial Club, which was we'll attended,
was held last evening. A representa-
tive of the Des Moines Bridge & Iron
Co. made an interesting talk, explain
ing several matters along the line Of
waterworks and electric lights. For
$4,000 an adequate electric light plant
can be added to the water pumping
plant, and the sentiment is strongly
in favor of combining the two i'm
provements. The same building can
house the two plants, and the operat-
ing expense of each plant can be cur
tailed considerably.

From the Leader:
The ladies of the Presbyterian Aid
Society have decided to publish a cook
book, which will contain recipes
which have been tried and are known
to be the best. We believe the ladies'
of White to be equal to any in the
culinary art and a book Of this kind
will surely prove Of much value in
every home. The books will be sold,
the money going to the Aid, and ad-
vertising will be solicited to defray
the expense of printing.

About the County ;
VOlGA

From the Tribune:
A young woman, who had but recent
ly come from the old country and was
unable to speak the English language,
went into the local butcher shop for a
soup bone. After trying in vain to
make George understand her wants
she exposed her ankle and made her
hands go as if saving it off. He
grasped her meaning and she got the
soup bone. When she got home she
told her husband what a time she had
making the butcher understand and
how she finally succeeded. He told
her it was all right for a soup bone,
but when they wanted a round steak
he would do the ordering.
The Misses Lillian Rewey and May
Button, who have taught in the local
schools the past two years, have ac-
copied positions elsewhere for next
year. Miss Rewey will teach the same
grades at Lake Preston, as she has
had here and Miss Button will be one
of the primary teachers at Brookings.
Both of these ladies have made good
here and their removal will be greatly
regretted by the school board and the
patrons of the district, but as Miss
Button is a niece of Mayor Leighty OF
Brookings and Miss Rewey has a sis
ter at Lake Preston, and their new
positions mean an advance in salary,
they naturally accepted.

Here in Puget Sound soil I have
known or got at first hand from a
reliable man) that wheat has been In
creased % bushels per acre the first
year and much more the second year.
I had field of oats following potatoes
and vetch, and the oats were u to Is
inches higher and proportionately
better on the vetch than on the po-
tato land. [ did not measure the oats
SO cannot give accurate figures, but
it looked like a good step up-within
a foot width all the length of the field.
While peas are a good crop one of
our very best) for cash returns, still
my object in writing was to call at
tention to their effect on the follow
ing crop. Pea roots and vines are
worth, here on Puget Sound, $50 to
$40 per acre more than timothy sod.
I wish someone would plant ton
acres near every county seat on the
East side, and then next year put
the wheat stubble and this years pea
stubble, with the pea vines hauled
back on the land after threshing, or
better still, ''hog off" the peas and
then put the pea field into wheat. If
there be not a wonderful crop of
wheat in 1914 on this years pea field
I will be greatly surprised.
While peas will help poor land more
than very rich land, yet it must not
be inferred that peas do not help rich
land. One Whatcom county farmer
has raised peas on certain field, L

SOME FACTS AND A GUESS.

The readers of The Ranch must be
a wide awake lot, for my articles on
"Protit in Peas" has brought a deluge
of mail, including approving letters
from such men as Prof w. Fl. Law
renee, Prof. w. S. Thornber and w.
Fl. Heideman, superintendent SUBJ
experimental station of Idaho at
Clagstone.
Peas seem to do we'll in any kind of
soil except light. sandy soil or one
that stays wet all summer.
Peas are easier TO harvest without
oats.
One hundred and eighty to 900
pounds per acre; less on rich soil !:
more on poorer. On very poor soil
that has been much scraped | would
put 300 pounds, as some stalks will be
only six inches high, while on rich
soil they are three or four feet high.
PEAS ON THE EAST SIDE.
have had many inquiries from
farmers on the East Side. AS | have
never farmed there [ can only give
what others have told me and make
guess. Where land is fallowed alter
nate years I would try peas; hog them
off and expect the next crop of wheat
to be much above the average. Just
how much will depend on the char
acter of the soil. In very rich soil
the effect may be less marked than in
poorer soils.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-02-15

count of probable fall rains. On the
East Side, with the dry fall there
would be no object in harvesting,
unless in some places the soil be so
light that the field gets too dusty.

am told, for fourteen years. He puts
a good coat of manure on this field,
and he himself told me that in 1911
he got two tons to the acre nearly
seventy bushels, which he told me he
sold for S125, and would have got 5000
an acre if he had held them for six
months.
PEAS INSTEAD OF FALLOWING.
I wish that an experiment OF SOW
ing to peas instead of following, then
letting hogs harvest the peas, and then
putting in wheat after the peas could
be tried out on the east side. A ton
will SOW 10 or II acres, and the farmer
who does this will stand to have a
big local market for all his peas in
1914.
| knew one man to have 80 bushels.
But even at an average of 30 to 40
bushels a farmer should get several
hundred pounds of pork per acre II
he hogs them off, or good cash in
come if he harvests them.
On my own land I get about 30
bushels of oats; my neighbors get II
to ID of wheat I have never tried
wheat myself) but we get 30 to 30 OF
peas. On river bottom land they get
40 to 90 bushels.
Fom all can learn peas will yield
much larger crops on the East Side
than on Puget Sound.
HOGGING OFF PEAS.
There will be little need for fence
around pea field to keep hogs in.
Hogs like to drink every few minutes.
I have seen fat hog hold its open
mouth under a running faucet till it
seemed the hog would be drowned.
Fat hogs should not have to travel
over forty rods to water.
q After the fat hogs have got most OF
the peas (you can tell by their
punching" the pea vines) turn them
into another patch and turn orood
sows and pigs on the field. On firm,
clayey soil less than bushel will be
wasted, as one can tell by the way
the peas come up after rain. 1t
takes hog only little while to learn
how to take a pea pod in his mouth,
mash it lightly to split the pod, chew
the peas we'll and then take another
pod.
a I am anxious to learn what effect
the pea roots, the pea vines and the
droppings from the hogs will have on
the 1914 crop in some East Side wheat
fields.
cit certainly is great here on Puget

Tt is therefore not a question of

We sell every kind of fertilizer

but strongly advise the use of
Lillys complete fertilizers because
they are scientifically correct In
proportion, thoroughly ground to-

Tt is the use of such complete
