The culvert, which was put in this

the system Of agriculture used. The
O-W. 3. & N. has taken the stand
that the more prosperous the commun-
ity is the more the transportation
company will benefit in the end. It's
plan is to build for the future by
helping to induce the farmers them
selves to become more prosperous.
1t has been demonstrated that a
diversified system of farming brings
about more continuous and profitable
employment of labor to a greater
number, resulting in a higher per-
centage of skilled labor. By exper-
imentation, demonstration and extern
sion work the O-W. r. & N. has been
able to accomplish wonderful results
through advancing the idea of diver
sification in farming and its work
along these lines is famed throughout
the west.

BUMPER WHEAT CROP
IS NOW ASSURED
Growing Grain in the Hills Can
Withstand Almost Any Kind
of Weather Until Harvest

Unless most severe drought condi-
tions prevail within the next few
weeks, the Horse Heaven wheat farm
ers will harvest one of the largest
wheat crops in the farming history of
the hills. The hill farmer figures that
if he can get little rain in June he
is practically assured of a good yield,
and the soaking rain of last week
came just at time when it was
needed. In fact weather conditions
have been most favorable since early
spring.
In speaking Of the wheat prospects
Saturday Carl Williams said: II can't
conceive Of any weather conditions
that can beat us out of crop now.
Hot winds in June are the terror of
all hill ranchers but the rain that fell
the first of the week has put the crop
in shape to withstand almost any
kind of weather between now and har-
vest time"
The wheat crop in Kennewick's dry
farming belt is only in keeping with
crop conditions in all parts of the
country. According to the June l
forecast of the federal crop reporting
board, the United States will harvest
billion bushels of wheat this year.
the greatest crop ever grown in the
nations history.
Should that enormous quantity be
harvested the United States would
have upward Of 385 ,OOO, 900 bushels of
wheat during the coming year to sup
ply the demands of the warning Euro
pean nations, which are expected to
increase rather than diminish. Dom
este consumption this year will prob
ably reach 535, 0O0,O 900 bushels for food
purposes and about 100000 bushels
for seeding.
Basing its forecast on the condition
Of the growing crops on June 1, the
crop reporting board today estimated
the final production of winter and
spring wheat combined would be $780,
O00, 900 bushels. The actual production
however, will be greater or less than
the figures stated in proportion as
conditions from June / to harvest time
are better or worse thar usual. A bill
lion bushel harvest with good growing
conditions is not improbable in view
Of the fact that in the record crop year
of 1912 the prospects increased 81 600
900 bushels from June / to harvest.
Influenced by the prospective heavy
European demands for grain, Ameri-
can farmers last year sowed the larg-
est area ever planted in this country
to winter wheat 1859 900 acres
and this spring 19,24O,0O0 acres were
sown to spring wheat, exceeding last
years area by nearly 100000 acres.
Winter and spring wheat areas COM
bined show an increase Of II per
cent over last years acreage.

E. S. Mcdonald, in his ad. this week
calls attention to the impending iE.
crease in the price of paint materials

are going to paint this year to get
busy and order their materials now.
We quote from letter received by
Mr.. Mcdonald from the principal
wholesaler Of paints in this territory:
lowing to the recent great increase
in the price of lead and zinc, due to
the demand for war materials, we will
be obliged to advance the price of all
mixed paints, shelf goods and oil
colors. New prices will be in effect
June 10. A reasonable order billed
before that date will be filled at the
present prices"

We owe Pasco an apology. For a
long time the little town across the
big Columbia has been advertising
that "Pasco has more ornamental

believe that until Saturday might when
we went over to the circus, and saw
all those dark lamps which the p. +.

for unless it is paid for. We came
back and consulted Webster about it.
He says an ornamental street lamp is
one used for decorative purposes only.
We apologize, and agree that Pasco

EXPERT SAYS ALASKA
 IS IN GRAIN BELT

Prof c. c. Georgensen, head of the government experimental agricultural stations in Alaska, declares that the interior of Alaska will rival Canada and the western grain states when the territory has been settled Let the right kind of people settle in Alaska and you will see production of grain and farm products that will be as- tonishing," he told Seattle newspa- per man before leaving for Alaska on the last trip of the Northwestern.
 In speaking of the experimental stations in interior Alaska, Prof Geo. rgesen said:
 "Our work this year has been very successful and wheat, barley, oats, and rye have made very heavy yields and have ripened successfully where ever planted. The vast interior re- gions of Alaska are suited for the various valuable grains and for gen. eral farming has been proven. The coast regions are better fitted for the raising of stock, feed and vegetables. The coast would also make a great dairying country, and the government dairy farm started on Kodiak island is doing well. Although this has been the dryest season we have ever ex- perienced, the experimental farming has ben very successful. In the in. terior the grain grew short straw but on the other hand bore a heavy yield of grain itself"

THE CHRISTMAS BASKETS

We have heard certain well-fed,

declare that there are no poor people
in Moscow and that charity should
not be extended in this community

of equally fortunate neighbors some
times have not the vision that can
see into other and very different sorts
of dwellings.
1t does not make any difference
what particular circumstance has kept
one group of children ragged and an
other hungry; it may have been the
laziness of a father, the bad manage

for even an earnest man, an accident
that crippled either parent, the ar
