STOCK AND CROP NOTES.

At the annual meeting of the Wash
ington State Dairymen's association,
recently held at Chehalis, the follow
ing officers were elected for the ensu-
ing year: H. G. Davis of Granger,
president, succeeding himself; w. V.
S. Robb of Kent, vice president, and
A. B. Nystrom of Pullman, reelected
secrtary and treasurer. The new trus-
tees are j.. G. Burnham of Snohom-

Four carloads of Angora goats, 900
in all, reached Montesano last week.
They will be placed on a 400-acre tract
of land six miles east of Aberdeen,
owned by Byron Forbes, who came
Dwyer, N. M, to experiment with An
CORA goat raising on Grays Harbor.
Forbes believes Angora goat raising
will become one of the big industries
of this section because of the abund-
ance of feed kept green the year
round by plentiful rains. Four hun
dred acres of land here are considered
by the goat raiser an equal to 1900
acres in New Mexico, where he was
formerly engaged in the business.
The last Federal census reports
show Washington has 56,192 farms.
OF this number 4S,466 are operated by
owners and managers and 1926 by
tenants. Eighty-six per cent of the
farms of this state are operated by
owners and managers and IA per cent
by tenants. The farm home owners
and managers of Washington cult
vate 10000 0 acres or land and the
tenants till 1,453,0O0 acres in this
state. The value of the land and
buildings of the tenant farms of this
state is Sill, 100000; that of the home
owners and managers is $4,000 900.

woMEN,s EARLY SPRING STYLE
Fashion Makers Tell Us What to
Wear / 0 Be Stylish.

-Chicago.-New materials for wo-
mems early spring clothes are decided
ly like those of grandmother's day,
according to the bulletin of the Fash
ion Art League of America issued here
Monday. Frills and furbelows OF 1881
are to be worn more and more.
Materials consist of narrow-striped
materials with a taffeta finish. Silks
in pompadous, small plaids and checks
are the best of these. Many crepes and
veiIings already are being shown with
a small Dresden flower pattern, which
was revived a year ago. Cashmeres
and satin clothes will be among the
materials for street wear.
Colors will be subdued, with a prev
alence of black and white, white pre-
dominating. Effects in stripes will be
better form than checks or plaids, be-
ing smarter and more suitable to the
new silhouette.
While the trend of styles is, and for
some time has been, toward the 1880
period, our 1915 mode of living de-
mands a distinctly modern adaptation.

but it must be handled with intelli-
gence, based on practical experience,
in order to become established on per
manent and comprehensive lines, and
the educational work undertaken is
advantageous in promoting that end.
The work of the Northwest By-Prod.
ucts committee is being directed by
the prosecution of an aggressive cam
paign for the establishment of Gamer
les and factories for the utilization OF
that portion of the crop which is at
present unmarketable, and it is ex-
pected that, as a result, this interest
will receive a powerful stimulus. The
by-products conference was given es.
pecial impetus when it was pointed
out that about 40 or so per cent OF
the apple crop of this state now goes
to waste on the ground, or from 1900
to 5000 carloads. There are now 500,
600 acres planted to apples IN the four
northwest states, or 100000 trees
which is one-sixth of the apple trees
in the country, represents an invest
ment of $780, ,000, as against the
$500, O00, 900 invested by the lumber in
dustry in the same territory. This
year there will be about $4,000 car
loads of apples shipped from the north
west. In three years, with the new
plan in operation, it is thought the out
put can be $4,000 cars. The 1917
yield will represent to the northwest
in money from $~S,400,000 to $10,600,
600.

Wheat-The movement from the

some grades of wheat it was active,
The tendency of prices showed a well
sustained market most Of the time
with more or less of appreciation in
values during the week, with figures
running at about or above those of the
earlier part of the week at the end.
1t was noticeable that heavy selling
for future delivery was carefully
guarded, the sentiment being that top
figures of the markets for this crop
are not yet reached. OF course it is
realized that values are running along

foodstuffs will not run low while pres
ent foreign disturbances continue.
When the change may come seems to
be purely a matter of mental specula-
ton as present indications do not jus
tify conclusions well founded. Prices
at the moment are $1.25h for blue
stem, $1.23h for club and $1.17b for
red Russian.
Flour-Flour trade is quiet and the
market is without feature. Indiffer-
ence of buyers is expected just at this
season of the year, but the strong tone
of the wheat market made a little bet
ter trade than expected. Buyers were
mainly behind the market during the
advance, but where the mills were
willing to protect old quotations they
were able to pick up some orders.
Feed-Nothing new developed in the
feed market last week. A good mixed
car trade prevails and mills are get
ting firm prices for their offerings in
that way. While there has been a
slight Improvement in the demand for
straight car lots during the past few
days, at the same time the sales are
moderate and the market featureless
Very few cars are wanted for prompt
or quick shipment, and the bids on
deferred are still too far out of line
to consider. These bids continue at a
low level for midwinter delivery, and
the mills say they have no incentive
to make commitments while other
feeds are acting strong and hold in
good demand.

General Trade Conditions.

Bradstreet's says: Inventory TAX
ing is the rule, and therefore move
ments in the more important indus
trial and commercial channels are
slow, but the most significant fact is
that practically all lines and sections,
save the south, look for Improvement
after January gradual, perhaps, at
first, but expanding as the season for
spring buying approaches. At the
moment, however, distribution is
mainly from retail %purveyors, by
whom sacrifice sales are being pushed,
with negatively favorable results al
most centers, the range being from
poor in the south to active in the
west, where the full force of remun'
erative prices for wheat is expert
enced. 1t is noteworthy that reports
from some points indicate that Christ
mas trade was better than antici
pated, but in general such returns, es
pecially from Industrial centers, dis
close that buying vas limited in con
with lack of steady employ
ment.

TAKING CARE BY-PRODUCTS
ONE iMPo THAT QUESTION

There is a concerted movement
among the fruit growing interests Of
the Pacific Northwest, looking to the
establishment of canning and preserv-
ing plants, for the purpose of taking
care of the horticultural products of
this section that cannot be marketed
at a profit direct from the orchard. ~
b~y-products committee, representing
the leading organizations of fruit-grow-
ers is carefully ~canvassing the situa-
ton, and already steps have been Ia
ken for the organization of a number
of new companies to start operations
before the maturing of next seasons
crop.
The elimination of the element of
waste is the real factor that represents
profit in the operation of many lines
of industry. The great packing houses
make millionaires of their stockhold-
ers, while the country butcher fails to
exc out al existence, because the for
mer converts into marketable products

a loss. The eradication of waste is en-
gaging the largest measure of atten-
ton of business experts in the distrib-
uptive field, and it is certainly a time
ly departure that it should be extend
ed to the farm, where there is offered
the widest possible field for applica-
ton. 1t is estimated that nearly 5000
cars of fruit in the Pacific Northwest
is annually allowed to rot, represent
ing an economic loss that stands for
the difference between a comfortable
surplus for the grower and unremuner-
alive labor and Improbable invest
ment. 1t is not alone important to the
agricultural community, but to the
merchant and consumer that this
leak" be stopped, and the success of
the present movement should be en-
couraged, so far as possible.
Washington fruit-growing interests
are already extensive. There are
manifold opportunities for expansion.
In the report of the commissioner of
horticulture for 1913 it is shown that
the total orchard areas of the state
were 266,857 acres, with an additional
$500 acres devoted to the cultivation
of berries and small fruits. Since that
time, it is indicated from nursery sales
that 2,319,432 fruit-bearing trees have
been set out in the state, together with
1,13s,694 strawberry, 1852 rasp
berry, 56,643 blackberry, and s6,914
plants of other berry species, indicat
ing the rate of growth of this interest
There are now about Is cannerie:

ating works, Clarke county having
257 prune drying plants, a moderate
complement of cider, pickle and othel
factories, and the proposition is to in
crease this list comprehensively, ant

lines. The influence of such an in

Washington-A national employ
ment bureau, reaching into every e c
ton of the United States, will be put
in operation by the department OF
labor this week, carrying out the sug-
gestion of President Wilson in the
Indianapolis speech January 8. for "a
systematic method of helping the
working men of America"
Preliminary work for the bureau has
been completed, says Commissioner
Caminetti of the immigration bureau,
and instructions sent to the thousands
of postmasters and rural mail carriers
throughout the country and to nearly
200, 900 field agents of the department
OF agriculture, who will cooperate with
the labor department to help the job
less man and the manless job together.
All agents of the immigration bureau
also will participate in the huge task.
Mr.. Caminetti said. The blanks and
reports for their use already AVE been
printed and will be forwarded without
delay.
The General Plan.
The general plan OF the empioynen
bureau was outlined by Mr.. Caminetti
as follows:
Notices will be posted in all post
offices announcing that applications
for work or workers will be received
by the postmaster, who will be sup
piled with forms to be filled out and
forwarded to the labor department
agent in charge of the zone in which
the office is located. The distribu-
ton branch of the immigration service
will handle this part of the work, n
to it also will go the reports OF the
department of agriculture agents as to
sections where help is needed in har-
vesting or other work
Applicants will then be informed
of the place where they can obtain
work of the kind they seek and at the
nearest point to them, the postal
service acting as the distributing and
collection agency for applications and
replies throughout the transactions.

TIE SPOKANE MARKET.

1t is an encouraging feature of the
situation that all lines of business is
looking forward to the opening year
with confidence and optimism. There
has been no serious impairment to the
basic elements which make for activ-
ity and prosperity. This country is
receiving orders for many new lines
of stuff for shipment to Europe that
will serve to impart a stimulus to
manufacturing operations. There is a
tendency to inaugurate and prosecute
improvements that have been long
held in allegiance. There are advices
of the placing of several thousand
men at work in logging camps
throughout the Pacific Northwest,
where operations have been seriously
restricted for several months. Many
mill concerns are arranging to in
crease forces in order to care for the
requirements of the spring trade. The
railroads are coming into the market
for lumber and construction materials.
There has been an enlarged demand
from Europe for lumber, and, with the
general improvement in this direc-
ton, there is no handicap apparent to
the starting of a movement looking to
increased distribution of merchandise
upon a representative scale.
Butter-With the moderation of the
weather the decrease in the milk sup
| ply has been checked somewhat, and
while prices continue steady at 500
SIC, the supply is well up to require
ments.
Eggs-The milder weather has
served to stimulate receipt of eggs
and the market is once more on the
down grade. Local jobbing figures
we're reduced $1o.50@11.50 during the
week, and will probably be still lower
before the close.
Dressed Meats-Slight improvement
Is indicated in the outlook for en-
larged out-of-door activities in mill:
and camps, but conditions are holding
unchanged, with prices on the sam
basis as for several weeks.
Poultry-Since the holidays thu
