Of the Kennewick Fruit & Produce
Co. and on motion were unani-
mously adopted:
Whereas, during the last year
the retail merchants of Kennewick
have made repeated and concerted
attacks upon the business OF the
Fruit & Produce Company, and
upon its manager, some of which
have been fair, and others question
able, and
Whereas, the consumers of this
region have the same right to Or
ganize to reduce prices, as others to
maintain them, and
Whereas, they have organized the
Kennewlck Fruit & Produce Com
pany, not to make money, but to
protect themselves against exorbi-
tant prices, and
Whereas, it is vital to the pros
perity of Kennewick, not that a
few retail merchants should easily
acquire rapid wealth. but that the
cost of living should be reduced so
that new settlers may be attracted,
and many farmers made able to pay
their debts and improve their places;
therefore
Resolved that we believe the
success of the Fruit & Produce
Company to be in line with the
highest interests of Kennewick, and
that attacks on it are directly cal
culated to injure those interests.
Resolved, that we advise mer-
chants of this city to seek prospect
ty not by efforts to maintain prices
against a poor and struggling COM
munity, but by cutting out needless
expenses, restricting competition,
and to be content with small profits
until such time as the surrounding
country is income producing, shar-
ing our sorrows meanwhile that
later we may the better and more
gladly contribute to their success.
Resolved, also, that the business
of the Kennewick Fruit & Pro-
duce Company is our business, 356
of us, that we regard attacks upon
it and our manager as attatks upon
ourselves, and that we propose to
stand by both our business and its
manager.
Resolved, further, that up to the
present time it is for us to laugh at
the results of the attacks upon the
Kennewick Fruit & Produce Com
pany.

COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS

The experiment station at Pull

tilizers,' by Elton Fulmer, State
Chemist.
This bulletin is primarily the
biennial report of the inspector OF
fertilizers sold in the state, as re-
quired by the Fertilizer Law. II
contains detailed reports of all the
analyses of samples of fertilizers
collected by official inspectors, OF
sent in by manufacturers, during
the years 1911 and 1912. The
analyses show that, in the main,
the fertilizer dealers of the state are
conscientiously complying with the
terms of the law.
The results Of the analyses will
serve as guide to purchasers OF
fertilizers, and they show the plant
food values and comparative COM
mercial value of the different brands
of fertilizers sold in the state.
The bulletin also contains a
thorough discussion of the principles
underlying the use of fertilizers and
the value as plant food of the differ
ent elements usually present in
commercial fertilizers. 1t will,
therefore, serve as valuable re-
ference book to all who are using
fertilizers.
Copies of the bulletin may be OBJ

WINTER SHEEP AT HANFORD

Five thousand sheep are being
fed on the Riverby ranch east OF
the river. The unusual heavy snow
on the range which has fallen dur
ing the past ten days has compelled
the hearders to bring their focks to
winter quarters in the valley where
hay can be bought. This big flock
has been fed for several days at the
Ringold ranches until the supply Of
hay was exhausted. The ranchers
are receiving $3.50 per ton in the
stack - Columbian.

No longer does he say "Goldarnp'
"Gewhittaker!" nor yet "Consarn"
Nor does he chew wisp of straw,
Or laugh with rasping "Haw-haw

Or dress with clothes that do not fit,
Or with fool schemes get often bit.
He drives no shaggy, limping skate;
His motor car is up-to-date.
His clothing now is in the style,
Sophisticated is his smile.
His wife wears costumes in the mode,
And modern quite is his abode.
His children all to college go,
And system lets him profits show.
He works, and yet has time to play
This is the farmer of today.

EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY
IN ADMINISTRATION

For some time it has seemed to
me that our state administration
suffered from a plethora of separate
commissions working without unity
of purpose, yet not covering all the
necessary ground.
We all remember how Commits
sioner Huntley attempted to estab
fish quarantine against the intro
duction of the alfalfa weevil but
failed to accomplish his purpose
because his authority as commits
sioner of horticulture did not cover
the protection of our hay crops.
Hence was pleased to note Gov
erner Listers recommendation in
his inaugural that Department of
Agriculture and Inspection be Gre
ated by law to take supervision of
five commissions which he names
and to have general charge of all
matters naturally coming under this
jurisdiction. The governor said:
by following this plan we would
have a central authority and would
materially reduce the office charges.
To my mind the greatest saving
would be in the reduction in the
deputies required and | feel sure
the efficiency of the department
work would be increased" He sug-
gests that the proposed inspector of
commission houses be put under
the same department and expenses
paid by fees collected.
1t is estimated that many millions
of dollars might be saved and greater
efficiency secured by putting the
administration of the several de-
partments of our national govern
ment on a strict business basis.
That is, manage them as a great
business enterprise would be man.
aged, securing the greatest efficiency
in operation at the least expense
compatible with the truest economy.
President Taft has made an ex-
cellent beginning toward etfecting
this saving and securing this eff
cheney. President Wilson we be-
lieve will continue the good work un-
less democratic hunger for political
pie should overcome his well known
resolution. And now it is time that
the state Administrations were fol-
lowing suit.
A bill has been introduced en-
bodying Governor Listers idea OF
creating a Department OF Agricul-
ture and Inspection and we hope
that some well digested measure OF
the sort may be passed and put into
effect by the present leglature.

PATRIOTIC
"'"'' EXERCISES
In the Schools of Mineral Point,
Thursday, May u.
VERY FINE PROGRAMS INDEED

Carried Out in the Primary and Pre-
paratory Departments in the Morn
ing and in the High School in the
Afternoon.
The memorial patriotic exercises in
the Mineral Point schools last Thursday
were as usual very interesting, instruc-
tive and greatly enjoyed by those pres
ent. The G. A. X. Post and w. K. c.
were well represented. Accompanying
them was Capt. II. w. Rood of Madi-
son, Patriotic Instructor Of this G.. A. Il.
Department, who had been invited by
the local Post to visit our schools at
this time. Mr.. Rood often visits the
schools in different parts of the state,
but this was his first visit here. He
was much impressed with the good
work being done in our schools to pro-
mote true patriotism and love for the
flag.
At $3.50 in the forenoon the first visit
was made to the primary departments
Of the 1th ward, where most excel
lent program of recitations, songs and
drills was presented with much enthu
siasm, receiving well deserved com
mendation. Then followed visit to
the Preparatory department, where a
varied and well prepared entertainment
was carried out. In both departments
Mr.. Rood gave some happy and instruc-
tive flag talks, which were very much
enjoyed and heartily cheered by the
pupils.
In the afternoon the Post reassem-
bed at the Post hall and were met by
the High School band, and escorted to
the High School building, where elab-
crate exercises were held First by the
primary and intermediate departments,
who marched in at intervals, in a body
to the platform, rendering their auspl-
cious program then retiring in the same
manner. Then came the exercises by
the higher departments, consisting OF
readings, quartets and chorus singing,
interspersed with several selections by
the High School band and orchestra.
Comrade Rood gave an extended talk
upon the history and language of the
flag, presenting many novel and IN
structive Illustrations of the meaning
of the same He further took occasion
to highly compliment the Supt. and
teachers for the patriotic spirit mani
Tested throughout all the exercises, as
surfing them that his visit had been
pleasant and most inspiring, and thank
ing them on behalf of the department
for their magnificent work.

Lack of Old Meadows.

Old meadows generally are lacking
in nitrogen. which is most easily sup
piled by the application OF nitrate of
soda at the rate of 800 to coo pounds
per acre. The only way to be sure
of the kind of fertilizer to apply is
to make trials of different mixtures
and find out which gives the best re-
suits.
In most places the application OF
barnyard manure and cutting up the
meadow with a disk will be more
likely to give profitable returns than
will the application OF commercial
fertilizers.
