all the species of tame grasses that
we grow as well as knowledge OF

Much of the success and many times

thought, care or attention to their
grass land, and comparatively few can
name the different varieties of
grasses that are growing on their own

After committing a few timothy and
clover seeds to their poorly fitted

Unsanitary Country,

According to the National Council Of
Education and the American Medical
association, country school children
are from 10 to 20 per cent less healthy
than city school children. Some OF the
reasons are that tightly closed doors
and windows and poor lighting are
more usual in the country than In
cities; that country childrens teeth
are not properly cared for; they often
do not get suitable luncheons, and
country sanitation Is VIGOROUSLY prim.
tive.

North Yakima - Of 10 tracts of
state land in the Teton unit and three
in the Yakima reclamation project
offered by Auditor Newcomb recently
only three were sold. Those were un-
der the Sunnyside ditch. A tract of
five acres near Sunnyside brought $3.50
from H. Lloyd Miller. This was the
top price bid. Another tract in the
same location and of the same size
brought $3.50 from j. w. McKibben of
Sunnyside, and third brought $50 an
acre, the appraised price.
For the eight other tracts under the
Sunnyside ditch no bids were received
which equaled the appraised figures.
The same was true of the two tracts
under the Teton ditch. Several Tie
ton owners present declared the price
asked by the state was too high. One
contained 81 irrigable acres and was
appraised at $1,000 and the other 33
irrigable acres appraised at $4,000.
