MANY BOARDERS
IN DAIRY HERDS
State Agricultural Commission.
er Says One Third of Cows
in State are LOafers

Olympia, Oct. 20-One-thi of the
LIE, 700 dairy cows in Washington eat
food of more value than the milk they
produce, is the estimate of Agrlcul-
tural Commissioner H. T. Graves. DR..
Graves is urging the Importance OF
cooperative work being done by the
Washington state college and the Fed
eral department of agriculture, under
the Smith-Lever bill, in organizing
cow testing associations, by which the
dairymen, by pooling their stock, can
obtain annual tests of milk production
at cost of about $1.5O per cow, with
view toward obtaining information
that will enable them to eliminate
these non-paying boarders."
Decrease in Trees
Marked decrease, in spring fruit
tree paintings are shown in compila-
ton of nurserymen's reports, issued
by the state department of agricul-
ture. The principal paintings this
spring were: Apples, 100,509 trees;
pears, 31,531 trees; peaches, 1885
trees; cherries, 21,289 trees; plums
and prunes, 14,761 trees; strawber-
ries, 436,3s5 plants; raspberries, H.
7S4 plants; blackberries, 1928 paints.
In 1914 apple trees planted number
ed 555,962. The decrease in new
paintings is due principally, the de-
partment of agriculture states, to the
halt called in the paintings OF large
acreages for sale by promoters in
small orhard tracts. What planting
has been done this year represents
genuine development on the part OF
established commercial orchards.

PARENTS SHOULD ATTEND
''The Escape Built Along Lines Of
Vital Parental Interest

"The Escape" D. w. Griffeth's big
seven-reel master photo-play which
has sex-eugenic-science as its theme,
will be found to be surprise in more
ways than one.
Not only is it very interesting
drama, but it is subjest in which all
mothers and fathers are vitality inter-
ested.
"The Escape" is not white slave
picture: it is a drama from life and
tells a story that is much different
than the usual run of film stories.
It is produced by the same man that
gave MS "The Birth Of q Nation" The
cast includes such renowned players
az Blanche Sweet, Mae Marsh, Owen
Moore. Robert Harron, Donald CrlsA
Ralph Lewis and F. A. Turner.
It is said "The Escape" which is to
be seen at the Princess theatre Mon
day, October Is, has broken attend
ance records in nearly every town
where it has been shown.
