WOULD BASE PRICES
ON CREAM QUALITY.

washington dairymen must I'M
prove the quality of their product
if they are to meet the competition
of New Zealand butter, which is
now being shipped TO Seattle IN
large quantities, according 10 Dr.
H. T. Graves, chief of the livestock
and dairy division of the state
agricultural commission. and he
adds by way of comnvent on the re-
port that the price of butter-faI had
been reduced to meet this competl-
ton:
IF our farmers and cream pro-
ducers will take the trouble TO take
proper care of their cream and de-
liver a first-class article. which Will
insure q better quality of butter
than the New Zealand import, they
will receive just AS high price rs
they ever received and perhaps just
Il little bit more"
The New Zealand butter is OF
good quality, being Inspected D!
that government before il is ex-
ported. The cut in the price of
putter fat that came in consequence
of the competition, while TO be re-
GREETED, DR.. Graves states, Is prop
ably due largely to the fact that
large amounts Of poor cream are
.'unloaded" ON the butter manu-
facturers by some unscrup nous
dairymen.
1T is not good business 10 pay
for any commercial product more
than it is worth" DR.. Graves says
and nothing but poor quality oi
butter can be the result OF q 10"
grade cream. If our butter can be
made superior in quality 10 the
New Zealand product, then TIE
consuming public will gladly pay
the difference of 5 cents per pound.
Il. for one, would like to see
plan placed in operation for paying
for cream ON a quality basis. TINS
am certain, will be the only sys-
TEN that will insure means 10
protect our cream producers.
The department of agriculture
already taken the proposal OF
buying cream on quanty Dashs
up with several butter men and

Pruning Pointers.

As We go about our pruning Of
the fruit trees this winter and
and spring, let us keep in mind
that all phases of orchard work are
very closely related. Especially is
this true III regard to pruing and
spraying.
The failure to control the cod
dling-moth. leaf roller, San Jose
scale, and other insects this past
sea son in many cases can be traced
to the lack of pruning or poor
pruning. 1t is impossible TO reach
with the spray all parts OF the tall.
thick bushy trees that are found II
many orchards. Almost Invariably
the most damage is done by these
various insects in the center or top
of such trees where the spray does
not penetrate. Annual and syste-
matte pruning should be practiced

ADDITIONAL
CONTRACTED FOR.

The town of Burlington. in Ska-
git County, Washington, last fall
laid 1890 square yards of street
paving At a total expenditure, which
includes the expense of engineering
of s23,095. This paving covers
four blocks in length with width
of twenty feet and seven blocks
with a width of SO feet.
For the present year Burlington
has contracted for II ,021 yards of
This contract price does not in
clude the cost of engineering nei-
ther that of earth work.
The contracts thus far awarded
for 1914 are for paving three blocks
forty feet in width and Twelve
blocks with a width of twenty feet.
Besides this improvement Burling-
ton has now under consideration
the paving of nine or ten addition
al blocks. and without question will
close contracts for doing this adj
ditional paving this Spring. The
town will then have Sc blocks of
its business and resident streets
paved. So far Burlington has fin
ished and contracted for S54, 503.-
o. for paving its streets and that
town has by from 800 to 400 fewer
residents than LyDden.
1t is reported that Sedro-Woolley
only a few miles distant from The
town of Burlington is going to Ak
pend 500, 600 for additional street
paving, its. citiznes having become
thoroughly satisfied that good
clean streets are most essential to
their towns best interests
Anaeortes is arranging to lay
so blocks of new pavement this
year.
Every town in this part of the
country that has inaugurated up-to-
date street improvements is going
right ahead with additional paving
unless it be Mount Vernon and The
streets in that town are universally
paved with either brick or con-
crete pavement.

save our crops from many an insect

to every homestead and every road

\ For shade, trees should be planted
wherever 1t is desirable to be shielded
from the hot rays of the summer sun.
Not all shade is agreeable. The
shade OF some trees Is too dense and
others too light. A heavy woolen
blanket properly suspended will make
a shade; so will mosquito netting, but
it would not be best to use either.
Trees with close. compact head and
large. heavy leaves may make too
dense shade.
There is much bad tree planting.
and even worse lack of care after
planting. Much has been written about
how planting should be done. 1t may
be well to note few things that
should not be done. The following
are some Of the things to be avoided:
1. Don't plant trees that are more
than from four to six years old.

ALFALFA AS A SOIL BUILDER
One Of Biggest Advantages Of Plant Il
its Ability to Inerease Nitrogen
Content Of Soil.

(By d. W. FREAR. Colorado Agricui-
tural College-)
The great virtue of alfalfa Is its
ability to Increase the nitrogen CON
tent Of the soil. About II per cent.
Of the air u nitrogen. It Il estimated
that there are $1,000 tons over every
acre Of land, worth. at the present
rate Of 1s cents pound. over $12.-
000. 900. II II could be used. 1t is
taken out of the air into the soil by
very minute organisms called bacteria.
which live in the little nodules found
on the alfalfa roots. It takes about
$4,000 bacteria to measure an inch.
They take the nitrogen from the
air and use 1t ip their life processes
and then give 1t up to the alfalfa plant
In another form. Alfalfa plants re-
move large amount OF nitrogen from
the soil. but the bacteria collect is
such that a portion Is left for other
plants that follow.
II the soil Is too wet, the bacteria
cannot work, and II too hard. the air
containing the nitrogen cannot get to
them.
All plants which have the ability
to add nitrogen to the soil. like alfalfa,
are called legumes. Some legumes
closely related to alfalfa are sweet.
red and white clover; some more dis
tantly related are beans and peas.

GOOD SOIL TILLAeE LESSON
BY PuIverixIno Top Of Land Two or
Three Inches Escape Of Moisture
10 EneetuaIIy Prevented.

A practical and successful south
western man recently made this state
ment to the Interstate Farmer:
II had a field of ordinary upland
soil, and undertook to plow It about
ten days after cutting crop of wheat.
found 1t too dry to plow. 4 quit try
ing and got out the disk. l disked the
surface Of that field. but of course
could not go deep. Two weeks later
went In with the plow. and found
that could do pretty good job OF
plowing, though there had not been
drop Of rain In the meantime"
The statement was questioned. but
1t was fact:
When the first attempt to plow was
made, the soil had dried out on ac-
count of the numerous cracks made
by the effect of the sun and the wind.
These cracks quickly extend as deep
as the soil has been plowed. After
they are formed, the moisture is per-
mitted to escape through them and is
carried away In the atmosphere. SO
while there may be plenty Of moisture
in the subsoil. the top soil becomes 80
hard that plow will not work. This
was the condition when our friend
went in with his disk. BY pulvertzing
the top two or three inches. he
stopped the cracks and pores. and pre-
vented the further escape OF the MS
ing moisture. But the moisture con-
tinued to rise, through the lower sec
tions OF the cracks and by capillary
action. Being prevented from escap-
ing into the atmosphere. It collected
in the soil just under the pulverixed
surface. and soon softened It 30 that
1t could be plowed.
This lesson Is one of the most valu-
able that can be learned in soil till
age. 1t Is a theory that works out
perfectly in practice; or course there
must be moisture in the subsoil;
otherwise. though the tops of the
''chimneys" or cracks may be closed.
the disking will not avail much, for
thers will be no moisture to rise. and
consequently none to stop. This illus
trates the very reason why stubble
land should be disked Immediately BE-
hind the binder. as the sun and wind
quickly opens up the cracks and re-
leases the moisture in the top soil.
and then that in the subsoil unless
this Is done.
