WASHINGTON ALFALFA WINS
AT DALLAS CORN SHOW

Max Hinricks, residing about
nine miles southwest of Pullman,
Wash, won the worlds champion
ship in alfalfa seed at the national
corn show at Dallas, Texas, last
week. The news was contained in
telegram received by Ira D. Cardiff,
director of the State Experiment
Station, from E. F. Gains, state
cerealist who had charge of the state
and college exhibitions at the ex-
position. Mr.. Hinricks for several
years has made speciality of rails
ing large quantities of alfalfa for
seed purposes and now has 275 acres
devoted to that purpose. Last year
he had a contract with the United
States government to furnish 10
tons of the seed for government
purposes and received a fancy price
for the product.

Operating Under Difficulties.

When on a trip in Little Tibet DR..
Neve. in his book Thirty Years In
Kashmir," tells how three importunate
women blind with cataract arrived at
his camp at Shayok imploring treat
ment:
II had my box of instruments, but
how should sterilize them, and how
should light fire? l told the Lada-
kis. and they tried to strike sparks
with flint and steel. but the finder
seemed moist One of them produced
little gunpowder and placed it on a
stone. tore of rag from his shirt and,
fraying it out. laid it by the powder.
then with flint and steel ignited it.
Then cooking pot was produced. and
soon water was boiling. What an
anachronism between the aseptic sur
gerry aimed at and the primeval meth
cd Of fire production.
while the instruments were being
boiled cleaned the eyes and instilled
cocaine; then. kneeling in the sand, re-
moved the three cataracts, completing
the operations just before a gust of
wind came. laden with dust and grit,
which would have put stop to the
work. The gratitude of the people
knew no bounds

SNOWFALL Showers.

More than one explorer in cold eli
mates has noted the curious phenome-
non of SNOWFALL shower" The balls.
it is true. are not very big. the aver
age being about the size Of hens
egg. but they are true snowballs for
all that-compressed globes Of snow,
not little Jumps Of ice or hail. A fall
of the kind occurred in north London
in March, 1859. and at the time it was
observed that the balls seemed five
times as dense and compressed as ordi-
nary snow and in no way to be told
from the usual handmade missiles.
They had fallen during the night and
were strewn many layers thick over
very large area No cause-except a
doubtful electrical one-can be as
scribed for the strange phenomenon.
and mountaineers are apt to discredit
the stories of SNOWFALL showers told
them by the old guides till suddenly in
the midst Of an ordinary storm they
find themselves assailed as though by
myriads Of mischievous schoolboys.-

NITRATE FERTILIZATION

While the soil of this section of
the country is unusually productive,
experts have noted that it has not
always given the best returns of
which it should be capable. Investi-
cation by these men has shown that
the one element lacking in the ma
jority of instances to give the land
its highest possible productive value
in the northwest, is nitrogen. This
is perhaps the most necessary of all
the plant foods and is the first to
become exhausted in the soil. In
this great western country the soil
was so rich from the start that little
attention has been paid to proper
fertilization and as result it has
largely become deficient in nitrogen.
What makes nitrogen so essential
is the fact that it is needed in COM
binatian with the other nutrients
and its lack makes it impossible for
the plant to appropriate the other
foods.
The old method Of supplying this
nitrogen to the soil has been by the
use of green manure, but its general
scarcity andbecause the presence of
decaying vegetation in it causes the
nitrogen to be reduced and become
unreliable, has made it necessary

"Grate Victory For Sence."

Two large orchards. side by side,
brought much profit to Farmer Tur-
NUT and much trouble, for the Or
chards were considered fair game by
the youth of the village and two Or
chards are harder to watch than one.
One day, looking from one orchard
to the other. Turmut saw small boy
shin down a tree and, uttering word
of warning to another imp still up
among the apples, ran off.
Turmut reached that tree in record
time.
Got yer this timer' he roared to the
boy almost hidden among the leaves.
Come down.!
Getting no answer and not being in
hurry, he sat down and waited.
Time passed, and still he waited, un-
til servant brought him a note that
had just been dropped through the let
ter box. He did not wait after he had
read it, as follows:
Some people as apples. some as
sence. You bin wotchin a pare Of
trowsis stuffed with straw, and we bin
gettin' your apples from the other or
chard. Crate victory for sence!-Lon-
don Answers.

for farmers to look elsewhere for a
fertilizer that will supply nitrogen
in certain quantities that can be
relied upon.
To solve this problem, nitrate of
soda, mined in Chile, has come on
the market. This substance con-
tains Is per cent nitrogen and it is
he fact that this nitrogen is 100
per cent available Immediately upon
its application that gives it special
value. More than that, it is easily
applied and free from all foreign
substances whose presence in other
fertilizers often destroys their eff.
cheney.
Remarkable results have been OBJ
tanned by its use. Since it is prac-
tically unlimited in quantity, it is
regarded as being the solution of
fertilization problems. For fruit,
grains, grass and vegetable lands,
excellent results in early crops and
better products have been secured
under widely varying soil conditions.

Chinese Women at Theaters.

In order to prevent trouble the va
rous Chinese theaters and musical
houses are not permitted to sell tick
cts to Chinese visitors with their wo-
men folk. But as there are some for
eigners who wish 10 hear Chinese
singing and music and always buy
tickets for their wives and female
friends and refuse to observe this rule.
the owners of the musical houses and
theaters petitioned the police about
the matter. In reply the chief of the
police said that as foreign men and
women enjoy equal rights in their
own countries and are permitted to
make friends with each other without
restriction they should not be treated
in the same way as Chinese women
and girls, so the owners are permitted
to allow foreign women theater goers
to sit together with their male friends,
but Chinese females are still not al
lowed to enjoy the same privilege

HOLDEN CAMPAIGN IS
SHOWING GOOD RESULTS

By the middle of March between
125 and $50 sacks of selected seed
corn, acclimated to various Inland
Empire conditions, will have been
received by the Spokane Chamber
of Commerce for distribution.
Already Manager Gordon G. Cor
bailey has received 25 sacks of seed ,
and the quantity is growing rapidly.
Of the corn received only the best is
selected for termination tests, and
the poorer ears discarded. By
March 9, when the Holden follow
up campaign for more alfalfa, corn
and live stock opens in the schools
Of Washington, Idaho and Oregon,
Mr.. Corbaley expects to have accli-
mated, tested seed sufficient to plant
several thousand acres.
Secretary Charles w. Farr of the
Holden Improvement Committee,
which is directing the follow-up
campaign, states that approximately
$3.50 schools of the three states will
have well defined programs the week
of March GA dealing with alfalfa
and corn subjects. Five thousand
rag doll seed testers which enable
the pupils to make accurate tests of
corn seed, will be distributed, sup
plemented by corn books and alfalfa
bulletins.
At meeting of the committee in
Spokane Saturday, Chairman R. r.
Rogers was authorized to engage T.
w. Potter to assist in the plans for
follow-up week. Mr.. Potter has
been doing work of a similar nature
for Miss Grace M. Sheppard, super
intendent of public instruction in
Idaho.
C. B. Kegley, master of the Wash
ington state grange reports that the
Holden campaign is having good
results, and that seed men in all
parts of eastern Washington have
been obliged to triple their stocks
of alfalfa and corn seed.

The Grave of cacil Rhodes.

''The grave of Cecil Rhodes, l think,
Is the most remarkably silent place I
have ever visited" says Mr.. Ambrose
Pratt In his book. 1.-The Real South
Africa" lit is a serious though in
spring, somber. forbidding and DESC
lately grand place. While one stands
gazing at the tomb scores Of lizards,
blue, green and gray. crawl from the
crevices among the rocks and steal
like brilliant phantom streaks across
the tor. They are almost fearless of
intruders. but they make no sound
Sometimes the distant shrilling of cica-
dae wounds the stiffness with faint
yet piercing dagger thrust Of song.
But soon and always the eternal hush
returns, and silence reigns supreme
again. The world is full Of great
tOmbs. vast and awe inspiring. but
there is neither pyramid nor tomb nor
monument in all the world which can
equal that of Rhodes sleeping place in
simplicity and majesty"

Robert Canrer drew up before the
farmhouse in his purring six cylinder.
A week passed-a tense though I'M
eventful week for all.
Canler was insistent that Jane
marry him at once.
at length she gave in from sheer
loathing of the continued and hateful
importuning.
1t was agreed that on the morrow
Canler was to drive to town and bring
back the license and clergyman.
Clayton had wanted to leave as soon
as the plan was announced, but the
girls tired. hopeless look kept him. He
could not desert her.
Something might happen yet, he
tried to console himself by thinking.
In his heart he knew that it would re-
quire but a tiny spark to turn his
hatred for Canler into the blood lust
of the killer
Early the next morning Canler set
out for town
In the east smoke could be seen ly-
ing low over the forest, for a fire had
been raging for week not far from
them. but the wind still lay in the
west and no danger threatened them.
About noon Jane Porter started off
for walk. She would not let Clayton
accompany her. She wanted to be alone.
she said, and he respected her wishes.
In the house Professor Porter and
Mr.. Philander were immersed in an
absorbing discussion Of some weighty
scientific problem. Esmeralda dozed
in the kitchen, and Clayton. heavy
eyed after sleepless night, threw
himself down upon the couch in the
living room and soon dropped into a
fitful slumber
To the east the black smoke clouds
rose higher into the heaven. Suddenly
they eddied and then commenced to
drift rapidly toward the west
On and on they came. The inmates
of the tenant house were gone. for it
was market day. and none there was
to see the rapid approach of the fire.
Soon the flames had spanned the
road to the south and cut off Canlers
return. A little fluctuation Of the wind
now carried the path of the forest fire
slightly to the north, then blew back.
and the flames nearly stood still as
though held in leash by some master
hand.
