HEAVY RAINFALL IN 1913

Official reports from the State
College weather bureau show that
during the calendar year 1913 a total
of 1913 inches of rainfall was record
ed, while the average rainfall for the
past 20 years was 21.S inches. The
increase is moisture is explained by
the unusually heavy snowfall during
January and February of last year
and the heavy rainfall of June. So
far this month and all during De-
cember of 1913 the rainfall was con-
siderably below the average, but as
the ground was unfrozen and in ex-
Cellent condition to absorb the moist
ure, the shortage has not resulted
seriously to growing crops, which
are in a condition we'll above the ay-
erage. The coolest weather record
ed so far during this month has not
approached the zero mark, while dur
ing January of 1913 as low as 16 de-
grees below zero was recorded on
several occasions.

COUNTY AGENTS STUDY
FARM ACCOUNTING
Tabulate Records of Resources and
Expenditures With II View to
Gaining Practical Experience

The county agricultural agents OF
Washington, Oregon and Idaho, who
are holding five-days conference at
the State College, spent the entire
day Wednesday in studying farm sur
yey methods under the plan used by
the United States department OF ag-
riculture, which includes the keeping
of a careful account of the eXpendi-
lures and income on the farm, the
number of days during each month
which were used in farm work, the
number of horses and men employed
in the work, and the kind of work
done during each month.
The county agriculturists were
segregated into three divisions, one
division, under Byron Hunter, state
leader for Washington, and H. T.
French, state leader for Idaho, going
to the p. C. l. farm southwest of
town, where they tabulated the rec
ords kept during the past year. A
SSSOhu uANASiolli uuuSI /. W. luudl ~
Of the United States department of
agriculture, visited the farm of NJ.
w. Whitlow, northeast of town and
tabulated the records there. The re-
naming agents stayed in Pullman
and went over the records kept by
George A. Davis of Brewster, Okla
hogan county. The latter division
was under l.. j. Chaplin, agricultural
advisor for Marion county, Oregon.
The purpose of the county agricul-
turists in tabulating the data was to
secure practical experience in the
work, which would enable them to
assist the farmers of their own coun-
ties in keeping a careful record of
the income and expenditures of their
farms with a view to closing I'M
necessary leaks which would have
gone unnoticed except for the &C
counting system. The principal func-
tons of the farm agents are to make
the farm life of their constituents
more profitable and more pleasant,
and the Inauguration of farm sur
yey system is thought to be one of
the best steps in that direction.

ton, Uniontown, and other towns in

chine on a cooperative basis.

STATE COLLEGE GETS
CRACK ATHLETE

There was great JOY in Pullman
athletic circles Wednesday when AL
bert Crane, in the opinion of James
Il. Sullivan of the Amateur Athletic
Union, the greatest high school high
Jumper in the world arrived here
and forthwith journeyed to the col
lege and placed his cognomen on the
registration books for the second
semester. Crane halls from the Sta
dunn high school of Tacoma, and is
probably the greatest athletic find Of
many years in the Northwest confer
ence. With a mark of we'll over six
feet in the high jump, Crane should
have little trouble in landing that
event for the State College in all the
spring track meets, and will also give
good account of himself in the pole
vault and broad jump. At football
he is equally at home, and last fall
was given an end position on the all
Northwest honor interscholastic team
by coaches and sporting writer's. He
Is first class baseball pitcher and
also handy at basket ball, and will go
after four letters during his first year
here.

John R. Bender, graduate manager
at the Washington State College, has
received communication from the
Ridpath-Priest lyceum bureau asking
permission to feature the State Col

lature. The trip would include 10
or II concerts. Manager Bender

the offer of the bureau and will prob
ably close a contract with them.

COUNTY AGRICULTURISTS
IN FIRST CONFERENCE
CONTINUED from first page)

! farmers expect them to know more
than they really do know concerning
farm life, which handicaps the work
of the agents.
Mr.. Hockbaum stated that in his
opinion com munity organization of
the farmers to work in connection
with the agents is essential to the
welfare of the farmers. In a discus
sion which followed the talk of the
Idaho agent Dr.. Cardiff struck the
keynote of the whole situation when
he stated that the work of the
county agent is intended to bridge
the gap between agricultural educa-
ton and the farmers. Dr.. Cardiff
recommended that the county agents
cooperate in fighting the noxious
weed, fire blight and other problems.
County Commissioner Speaks
NJ. w. Whitlow, county commits
sioner of Whitman county, and
that the farmers who really need ag-
ricultural suggestions are the ones
who do not attend meetings and con-
| ferences where they can get it, and
make no effort to secure the much
needed information elsewhere, citing
this fact as one of the paramount rea-
sons for the two classes of farmers
successful and unsuccessful.
L. J. Chaplin, agriculturist for
Marion county, Oregon, in a talk on
Mistakes l Have Made" made many
suggestions which will prove of as
sistance to the other agents. Mr..
Chaplin stated that he has been ex-
perimenting with clover in his Sec
ton, and next year will try to raise
beans and corn.
