BOOSTER ORGANIZATION
SHOWS BIG NET GAIN
Membership of Chamber of Com
merce Increases Twenty-Five
During Term-Semi-annua
Report Shows Period of
Progress

Probably the greatest period of
progress for the Pullman Chamber
of Commerce since the organization
of the club was perfected was that
comprising the past six months, and
the report of Secretary William NJ
Porter covering that period, read be-
fore the chamber at it's noon lunch
con Tuesday, showed a wonderful
growth for the booster club.
Thirty-nine new members were ad-
mitted to the club during the six
months, while IA withdrew or re-
moved from town, giving a total net
gain of % members and increasing
the membership to 146. Twenty
two regular meetings of the chamber
were held during the term, and three
open meetings, the average attend
ance at the regular meetings being
80, while an average of 80 interested
persons attended the open sessions.
Eight thousand pieces of mail were
sent out from the chamber head
quarters: OF this amount 1900 pieces
were advertising matter, large part
sent in response to requests for in
formation concerning the advantages
offered by the city. Four hundred
letters were mailed by the cham Der
Among the more important items
concerning the doings of the cham
Der during the term, as outlined in
the secretary's report, were the fol-
lowing:
The chamber voted to pay the
Pullman Citizens band $40 per
month, and has paid $40 toward the
support of the band during the past
four months.
The road from the oil tanks east
of town to the bridge was surfaced
at cost of $49.45 to the organiza-
ton.
The chamber lays aside, in sink
ing fund, SIS each month, to pay its
one-half of the road assessment
against the Taylor farm, and the
fund now contains sos.
The Crimson and Gray trail was
blazed from Spokane to Dayton via
Pullman and Lewiston, at cost of
$51 to the local chamber.
In an effort to bring the neighbor-
ing commercial clubs into closer rela-
tionship with each other, the Pull
man chamber entertained, during the
six-months period, the Moscow, Pa
louise, Albion and Garfield CONNER
cial clubs.
On November 20 a Chamber of
Commerce special train carried IS
citizens of Pullman to Garfield,
where an interesting road meeting
was held.
The time of holding the meetings
of the organization was changed
from Tuesday evening to Tuesday
noon, with the result that the attend
ance is much better.
A membership campaign conduct
ed by the chamber added 9S new
names to the roll.
The report of the treasurer for the
term ending November 80 shows
total receipts of $103197, while the
expenses were $S7595, leaving a
cash balance on hand of $156.O2.
The sinking fund contains $105 and
5000 invested in D stock in the Pull
man Savings e Loan association, Civ
ing total assets of 1851.

ALFALFA AS A FORAGE. CROP
Most Valuable Of Deep-Rooted Le'
sumes and Is Long Lived Under
the Best OF Conditions.

Alfalfa is an exceptionally deep
rooted Iegume, ana under the best
conditions it is long lived. Like other
legumes, it has the capacity, under
the right conditions, Of assimilating
nitrogen from the atmosphere, but
until the root system and the nodules
which It bears are well developed its
growth is greatly promoted by the
presence OF readily assimilable nj
trogen in the soil. 1t is without doubt
one Of the most valuable forage plants
known to man. It has:lons been cul-
tivated in various parts Of Asia and
Europe, whence 1t was brought to
Mexico by the Spaniards, who took
1t with them to California and the
semi.arid portions of our southwest
ern states. During the last fifteen or
twenty years its culture has been
steadily pushed eastward, and it is
now successfully grown in most parts
of the United States and In few
parts Of Canada. In many essentials
and In feeding value alfalfa resem-
bles the clovers; and as these are SO
generally known its characteristics
will be perhaps best brought cut by
comparison.

move it in after the same fashion,
and so on until you have come to the
outside Of the new ditch. In the
meantime have one man along with
crowbar to dig stone and plow team
to turn loose on the bitches as soon
as the first ploWing has been carried
out. In other words. don't try to
plow with the grader. Not until you
have raised the grade to what you
want 1t, and are clearing out the
bitches. Then scrape them down to
a smooth surface, and carry the
scrapings In. Meanwhile q harrow
and a packer can be used to good ad-
vantage on the grade compacting tie

And after the whole Job Is compiet-
ed, and you have a well-rounded road
way built, drive back and forth with
a wagon until you have made path

INCREASE FARM EFFICIENCY
Work Done With Fewer Horses Means
Saving Of 500 Year for Each
Animal Not Required.
nv A n RENToN)

lSy A. Il BENTON.)
One Of the most frequent sources Of
loss on the farm Is an insufficient re-
turn from work horses. -
Have you satisfied yourself on tie
following points?
It costs 500 annually to keep tae
average horse, but. this horse works
only q little more than three hours
each working day. This makes the
horse labor cost approximately ten
cents an hour.
Do you handle the horse labor on
your farm so that the annual cost OF
keeping your horses is less than the
average, so that the number Of hours
worked is greater? Both methods
will reduce the cost Of horse labor,
but the latter offers by FAR the great.
est opportunity.
Can you revise your cropping sys-
tenn so that fewer work horses Will
be needed, or SO that the work will be
more equally distributed and thus
make it possible to employ them more
hours each year?
Can you raise colts and thus Te-
duce the cost Of keeping your horses?
Can you arrange to use yorr work
horses for outside work when not, busy
on the farm?
Can you reduce the cost Of keeping
each horse by feeding less feed or
cheaper feed and still give proper
ration?
Farm work done with fewer horses
means a saving Of 500 a year for
each horse not needed.
