Yet these 40 acres during 1918
yielded 200 tons of hay. $50 sacks
of oats and barley, 100 tons Of en-
silage. 400 sacks Of potatoes and
nearly $25O.OO worth of fruit. Most
of this crop was turned into milk. or
will be before the winter is over.

my neighbors plowed up a couple Of
acres that had been in alfalfa fol
several years. All through the sea
son you could readily see the super
Iior quality Of this patch Of standing
grain. He told me that for curious
lily he had il threshed separately and
lit yielded almost three times as
much per acre as the rest of the
same field. II seems reasonable to
think that if the land were properly
MANFRED and cultivated under a
system of rotation, we might still
get the same yield Of grain from a
third or at least one half of the
present acreage.
Gentlemen, by proper farming
methods We can build this Inland
Empire into one Of the richest agri-
cultural regions in the world. But
instead of seeing our grain shipped
across the Pacific from Seattle or
Portland, or even sent back East in
the form of -four, we viii have to
turn greater preparation of it into
dairy products. beef. mutton or pork.
We are now importing from the east
ern states. and even from New Zeal
and, millions of dollars worth Of
butter and cheese. Think what
money could do in the development
of the farms of this Inland Empire.
OF course it means steady work 10

You have to rise early, summer and
winter alike and perhaps you viii
have to hurry back from town in the
afternoon to feed and milk at the
regular hours. But after all, the
satisfaction Of seeing your property
grow in value each year ought to
make up for lot Of hard work and
Inconvenience. And one always has
he hope that his property will keep

Use do the early rising and the rest
If the hard work. In any case il liz
'etter than seeing your returns fall |
'H year by year. while the store

hands keep on increasing. For the
nan who viii not milk COWS, there Is

These products will all mean q

An Address Upon Diversified Farming
In Che Palouse Coumsry.


In The Palouse Coumsry.
(By jas. G. Graham. owner of the North slop1
Dairy Farm. Palouse, wash.)
Although this is a grain growers
convention, have been asked /,
speak to you today on my e<perieac,
as a dairy farmer in the Palous,
country However. I think grain
growing and dairying are going to
Os Ruch closer together in the fu-
lure than they have been in the past
and what I have to say may have
some interest on that account. We
all know, even if we are unwilling to
admit IT. that our farms are not pro-
ducing the grain crops they once
did. Not many years ago one could
put in q crop of spring wheat and
reap harvest Of 40 to As bushels
per acre and the land did not have
to be plowed and narrowed as care
fully either. Nov it takes two years
to get thirty bushels and the expense
Of producing this smaller crop is
steadily growing. Every year you
find the land is harder to plow; it
bakes more during the summer
months; and everywhere clay points
are appearing on the hills and ridges.
Even though good soil has been
plowed or washed to the lower levels,
you can see the color changing for
lack Of humus and the grain itself Is
not as rich and healthy as it once
was.
No one can keep drawing checks
on his bank account without making
further deposits and not get notice
that he has overdrawnl The changes
In the Palouse country grain crops
which ] have just mentioned ought
to serve as a similar notice. The
productiveness Of our land is similar
to bank account.
The Palouse country is an area of
great productiveness but we cannot
draw upon that fertility indefinitely.
We have been checking out and de-
posting nothing. Our grain is hauled
o market. the straw piles are burn
d, and even the ashes are left in
leaps to be avoided by the pillow I'M
il they gradually disappear. You
an see manure piles around the
arms which have been growing fer
ears and it is no wonder many
armers think that it is easier to !
aove the barns than those piles.
My a short time ago I heard man
fling Of his method of getting rid :
manure. He had . large ad-
antage over many places. There !
as creek running through the
ard and when the water was high Z
the spring, he went to work with
ie scraper and the manure went
1wn the stream.
Now, gentlemen, it is true that
c price Of land has been advancing

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-MessagSs
from every part OF the United States'
and from abroad poured into the White
House today carrying the syzupathetin
expressions of thousands for Pr5silI
dent Wilson and his daughters on the
death Of Mrs. Wilson.
Definite arrangements for the fun
eral will not be made until after the
arrival OF Professor Stockton Arson,
Mrs. Wilson's brother, now on his way
to Washington from Oregon. It was
thought probable at the WhiteSHouse
that the funeral will be Monday at
Rome. Ga, where Mrs. Wilson's par
ents are buried. The services In
Washington, while they will be simple,
will be attended by committees from
the Senate and House, members OF
the cabinet and other officials.
Mrs. Wilson'S body lay today in the
room where she died, In the south
west corner OF the White House over
looking the Potomac. The president
went into the room at midnight and
again several times today and sat
alone. Other members of the family
went in from time to time but even;
intimate friends we're kept out. Every
effort was made by his friends to d.
vert the presidents mind from his
grief.
Flowers began to arrive at the
White House early and continued
throughout the day. They were sent
by people from every walk Of life:
