MOI! V QUIET time
FOR AGR|CU[TUR|ST
Lampson Starts Checking Hog
Feeding Experiments and
Plans Cow Testing Work

= County ,Agriculturalist Lee M.
Lampson has returned from his hon
eymoon vacation and is again back at
his desk at his headquarters in this
citye Although this is a quiet time
for the farmer, Mr.. Lampson has
some busy days ahead Of him. Among
other things, he will at once begin
checking up the five hog feeding ex-
periments which he has been conduct
ing in different parts of the county.
The data which he will assemble from
these experiments will not only be in
teresting but valuable to the hog rails
ers Of the county.
In each test the farmer is following
a different method OF feeding and is
keeping accurate weight records of
each days rations. The hogs that are
being fed were weighed at the begin
ming Of the experiment and will be
weighed again at the close. From the
figures thus obtained Mr.. Lampson
will be able to tell the farmers just
what weight gain may be expected
from any one of the five different sys-
TENS.
Another important feature which
Mr.. Lampson is working upon is a
cow testing association for the dairy
men of the county. He has plans, the
adoption of which will not necessitate
any burdensome expense and which
will enable the dairymen to ascertain
the value of different feeds and to
grade up their herds. Mr.. Lampson
will personally conduct the tests until
the farmers become thoroughly ac-
quainted with the system and can
make their own tests.
During his "leisure" hours the ag-
will prepare several bull
letins which have been requested by
the extension department Of the state
college. One of these will tell how to
grow tomatoes without blight. Mr..
Lampson has been informed by the |
state college experts that he has more
and practical information on
this subject than has the government
station. Another of Mr.. Lampson's |
bulletins will deal with cover crops
adaptable to irrigated sections.

WHAT BIG STORAGE

Which People Of Kennewick =
Would Reap From 1t

In his annual report, extracts of
which were published last week, Man
ager H. w. Desgranges Of the Kenne-

association calls attention to the prob.
ability of a large cold storage plant
being built in Kennewick, and points
out what such a plant would mean to
the community. e - ''Ae
The report says: "a h.sss RI
Most of you, no doubt, know that
during the past year the association
built cold storage plant at Zillah
with capacity Of 600 cars. This
is said to be the largest exclusively
fruit storage plant west of the Miss
issippi. The results are proving most
satisfactory. Officers of the associa-
ton estimate that the saving in stor-
age and the effect Of having our APP
Piles stored in the west instead of in
the east will pay the cost of the plant
the first year.
"This year another plant of 1000
car capacity is to be built, and that
plant should be and will be built at
Kennewick if the growers but grasp
their opportunity. It is admitted by
all that Kennewick is the logical To-
cation but they do not want to build
it here unless the growers will use it
after it is built and the business in
terests want it here. To my mind
this is one of the greatest opportuni-

LONDON TIMES ASKS
THAT TRUTH Be TOLD

London, June ga demand that
the nation be told the trath about
the war" is voiced by the Times in an
editorial. The paper declares there is
no immediate prospect of being able
to compel the Germans to withdraw
within their own frontier; that ii will
take months to provide the British
forces with the big guns, high ex-
plosives and machine guns which are
necessary.
THE country has got to set its
teeth" says the Times, disregard
confusing bulletins and face the proba-
bility of a prolonged and unpro-
gressive campaign in the west, while
General Won Mackensens successful
march probably has postponed a re.
sumption of the Russian offensive for
several months until they are provid-
ed with guns and shells
ITO put it briefly, the allies on both
fronts are being held with no pros
pect of an early change. Moreover,
the outlook in the Dardanelles, OF
which the less said the better, long
ago ceased to offer prospects OF a
swift and easy diversion in the Mid.

GERMANS FIERCELY ATTACK
Using Fiery Liquids and Asphyxiat-
ina Bombs, French Say.

Paris, June 26.-With fiery liquids
and asphyxiating bombs the Germans
are violently attacking the French
trenches on the Meuse heights near
Calonne.
The first onslaught drove the
French from a row of trenches they
captured from the Germans several
days ago, the French troops retiring
when their positions were sprayed
with liquid flame.
Immediately afterward a counter at
tack threw the Germans out of the
works.
At midnight the attack was re-
sumed by large bodies OF Germans.
The French lighted up the ground be-
fore their positions with Illuminating
bombs and searchlights and turned a
score of marchine guns ON the charg.
ing columns. The Germans were
caught under deadly crossfire and re-
treated with heavy losses.
Two German attacks along the Lor-
raine frontier have been repulsed.

GOVERNMENT TTOPRODE
ACTION OF employees

Philadelphia, June 26.-Scores of
skilled workmen are leaving the en-
ploy of the government arsenal at
Frankford to accept positions with pri-
vate concerns that are supplying or
ders for munitions of war for the
European belligerents. For the first
time in years the arsenal is suffering
from a shortage of employees and Off
cials expressed fear that the situation
may become serious. The defections
have occurred not only among the
workmen but among officials as well.
The men declare they have been
given three-year contracts with the
private firms at wages far in excess
Of those paid by the government Ac-
cording to officials at the arsenal
there is federal statute which makes
ii unlawful for private concerns to
use a promise of higher wages to in
duce an arsenal employe to leave the
service of the government and an in
vestigation was said to be under con
sideration.
Colonel Montgomery. commandant
at the arsenal, has recommended to
the Washington authorities that the
men be given a 25 per cent increase
in wages.

which the attitude of the German peo-
pie toward peace was discussed by
Progressive and Socialist members.
who were answered by a government
official, the minister of the interior,
is attracting considerable attention.
Herr Braun, Herr Wiener and DR..
Karl Liebknecht took part in the eX-
changes. The newspapers report the
proceedings substantially as follows:
Herr Wiener, Progressive, cited
with signs of approval from the mem
bers an article by Hugo Heinemann,
Socialist, to the effect that no Ger.
man wants peace until Germany's
enemies are willing to concede her
right to develop her economic cultural
powers.
To this statement Dr. Karl Lieb.
knecht one of the Socialist leaders,
interjected.
Says Masses Want Peace.
1--WE have the masses with rs and
the masses want peace"
After this interruption Herr Wiener
continued:
I'VE are convinced that the cooper
alton of all classes is essential and
that it means German victory. In this
cooperation is found the guarantee
that we will hold out, and that we
will be spared from such dastardly at
tacks in the future"
Herr Braun, Socialist, was the next
speaker He said the Socialists do
not deny that the German people
must stand together against their in
Vulnerable enemies. He referred to
the fact that certain persons are talk
ing about continuing the war in order
to realize wild plans of annexation.
A great majority of the German peo
pie wish imperatively that no oppor
tunity for obtaining an early peace
be lost. the speaker declared, and
they emphatically reject annexation
plans of all kinds, particularly such
as have been advocated by one Ger
man ruler.

People of Countries involved Fa,
Apart on Terms Likely to Be Ac-

New Tenders of Good Offices Made.
New York, June 26.-President
Wilson does not see any prospect of
an early peace in Europe. Colonel K.
NJ. House, his close friend and unoffi-
cial envoy to Europe, gave the presi-
dent a detailed account of his sojourn
in the principal capitals of Europe,
where he talked intimately with re-
sponsible officials of the German,
British and French governments. The
information he impaired in the long
walks and talks which the president
and he enjoyed reflected the ideas
held by both diplomatists and the
military element in each of the coun-
tries at war,
Colonel House also disclosed the
various beliefs and currents of public
opinion in each country as to what
might be the possible terms of peace
and the trend of public opinion toward
the different peace proposals that
have been brought forward from time
to time in informal discussions by the
press and peace organizations.
President Guided by Reports.
The president has been guided large
ly by what Colonel House has report
ed to him by cable and in letters in
handling the delicate question of re
newing the efforts of the United
States to bring about general ac
ceptance of mediation. Mr.. Wilson
himself said last Tuesday to the
Washington correspondents that ne

made to any of the warning powers
but that all foreign governments vel
understood the willingness of the
United States to be of any service il
any way possible to pave the way fol
an approach of peace.
One fundamental thing the presi
dent has learned, which has affected
the efforts of the United States tC
make peace, is the unpreparedness o
public opinion in some of the bellig
erent countries as to terms which
they fear their adversaries might ad
vance, or that are already discussed
