State Grain Inspector
Talks About Wheat

Davenport controversy in the
Big Bend country relative to the var
ieties of wheat that can be raised to
best advantage, milling demand and
export market considered, has brought
q letter from R. D. Jarboe, chief state
grain inspector, of Tacoma, under
whose inspection many millions Of
bushels of grain were handled last
year. Said Mr.. Jarboe:
''Bluestem wheat is the pre-eminent
wheat of your section of the country,
and it would be calamity to the state
if it's production should be discontin-
ued. However, believe that Turkey
Red should be the variety for fall
sown wheat and Bluestem for the
spring planting. Turkey Red comes
nearest to Bluestem in milling value If
grown under right conditions, and
would increase materially the supply
of milling wheat.
Turkey Red is now grown extern

Southern Sea Utopia
Proves to Be a Myth

San Francisco-Th dream of find
ing a modern Utopia on Easter Island.
in the South Pacific, which has claimed
the attention of many aspiring young
swains who seek to wed the island
beauties and thereafter lead a life of
luxurious ease, was rudely shattered
by Steve Drinkwater, one of the sur
vivors of the schooner Eldorado, who
recently found refuge on the island.
81 spent three enforced months on
Easter Isalnd," Drinkwater said,
"and if that place is Utopia, give me
the neither regions.
In view of these and other facts re-
garding the island, Major Frank
Pooley, retired British army officer,
has announced that the proposed ex-
petition with party of young men
has been indefinitely postponed.

San Francisco Places
Ban on Auto Speeders

San Francisco Half dozen speed
ers were fined Thursday between $50
and $50 in Police court, although it
was their first appearance. Several
second offenders will be sentenced
soon. Since the Police court judges
adopted resolutions to fine all first
offenders and Jail all second offenders,
the number Of arrests for reckless
driving has been cut in two. An cpl
demic of recklessness, eliminating
last week in two brutal killings within
as many days, decided the judges, the
mayor and the board Of supervisors
that drastic action was necessary.

sively, but is being produced from
seed grown in our own state year at
ter year until it has deteriorated to q
point where it is of no greater milling
value than Fife or Red Russian, and
to overcome this condition sorted seed
should be imported from hard wheat
sections such as the Dakotas, western
Kansas or the Canadian provinces. and
should not be grown from the same
seed for more than two or three years.
"Our milling industry is now 80
large that we have been compelled to
bring wheat from other states to blend
with our softer grades and this year
more than 1000, 600 bushels Of Mon
tana wheat will have been imported
by the Washington mills. 1t is this
market that our growers should
seek to retain and they may do so by
extending their fall planting to hard
wheat, preferably Turkey Red, which
seems we'll suited for most parts of
Eastern Washington.

Nav Fish for Salmon
During Entire Year

Seattle-The salmon fishing indus
+rv worth millions of dollars to the
Northwest. will be extended from
Puget Sound and the Columbia river
to the outer sea and continuous sup
NV of salmon made available irrespec-
tive of whether the fish are running IN
the rivers, according to professors IN
the biology department of the Univer-
sitv of Washington. This possibility
was revealed when it became known
that the United States deep sea dredg-
ing vessel Albatross had been assigned
for work on the fishing banks outside
Puget Sound and the mouth of the CO.
lumbia river.
Professor Trevor Kincaid, head OF
the department of biology, has ex-
planned the significance to Washington
of the work to be done by the Al
batross.
sIt seems probable" he said, "that
the salmon have fixed locations In the
ocean and that they do not go very far
out to sea. If this is so it should be
a fairly easy matter to locate the sal
mon banks outside the Sound. A con-
tinuous supply of salmon would then
be available without regard to the run
in the rivers. Little is known OF the
deep-sea history of the salmon, but it
has been thought by scientists that
they migrated far out into the sea,
returning to the rivers to spawn.
"It now seems probable that they
never 90 far from shore, but have
definite geographical locations in COM
paratively shallow water. The Alba
tross will endeavor to locate the sal
mon banks and an entirely new face
will be put on the salmon fishing in
dustry in the Northwest.

Law May Interfere in
New Currency Plans

Olympia ~ A forgotten amendment
to the Washington banking laws,
passed by the legislature of 1909, will
prevent any one Of the 273 state banks
of Washington from coming under the
national currency law by taking out
membership in a regional bank, in the
opinion Of State Bank Examiner w.
E. Hanson. The forgotten prohibition
reads as follows:
''No bank shall subscribe for or
purchase the stock Of any other bank
ing corporation.
It is believed the next legislature
must amend this section before the
state banks can subscribe to regional
bank stock.
