HERE TUESDAY
NOTED AGRICULTURIST WILL BE
A GUEST OF THE CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE

ing the Afternoon ON Live Stock
and Agriculture

riculture," weeds and How to Erad-
icate Them" The Study of Breeds"
Forage Crops Other Than Grasses,
"The Management and Feeding of Cat
tle,'' Grasses and How to Grow Them,
and others His latest book is COM
prehensive treatise entitled, DRY
Farming" which is replete with prac-
teal information suitable to farmers
who are engaged in dry land farming.
At present Prof. Shaw has under
his direction over 20 experimental
farms in the Northwest upon which he
is applying methods of. cultivation
adapted to dry farming methods. AT
present he is experimenting the dem
onstration farm of over 300 acres at
Wn., where many def
mite results have been obtained What
ever message he has for the farmers
of the Palouse district will be from
the book of experience. Remember the
date and place, and do not fail to hear

ference not alone with local democrats
but likewise with persons of other po-
litical faith in a desire to learn of
the needs of this section. This morn
ing he was in conference with Pres
ident M. A. Brannon of the university,
with a view of becoming somewhat ac
quanted with the detail workings of the
university funds and to determine as
far as possible what it's needs will be
during the coming two years.

Governor Alexander made the above
expression when asked concerning po
litcal appointments. Il haven't prom

office which has caused scramble in
political circles is that of fish and
