Growing Corn Here.
(TaComa New Herald.)

Through actual demonstration it
has been proven that in many sec
tons OF Western Washington corn
growing can be engaged in with sue
cessful results. The one great draw
back to the progress of farming in
the country west of the mountains
has been lack of forage and grain.
With conditions exceptionally adapt
ed to dairying and poultry raising,
the outgo entailed for the importa-
ton of feedstuffs has greatly less
ened the profit and handicapped the
extension of these interests. This
lack, it is shown, is due, not to the
fact that these staples cannot be
grown here, but because such at
tempts as have been made have fol-
lowed the old lines of farming in
sections where the conditions were
entirely different. and with seed that
is not adapted to the soil and climate
of the Puget Sound country. In pio-
neer days wheat raising was an i'm
portant industry in Pierce county
and other sections of Western Wash
ington. 1t is difficult to conceive of
the great areas of prairie lying to the
south and west of Tacoma having
been cultivated and producing ex-
cellent yields of wheat, with coun-
try mills scattered about at various
locations, but this was the condition
half century ago. The statement
is made that the gold medal at the
Philadelphia Centennial Exposition in
Philadelphia was awarded for wheat
grown near Tenino, while there is
little doubt that but for the soil ex-
haustion occasioned by the primitive
and unsuited methods of the old
Hudson Bay company period this
branch of farming would have still
maintained on a limited scale. The
demonstration by carefully conduct
ed experiments that corn can be
raised here, when properly planted
and cared for, and the dissipation of
the myth that Washington is not
corn state and never will be, is a
priceless discovery. for it means, not
alone the supplying Of deficiency
that has worked against the progress
of more profitable lines of agricul-
ture, but 1t means that our land will
be better cultivated and that better
results will accrue, not alone to the
producer, but to the consumer as
we'll.

Regents to Sell Wheat Lands.

The board of regents Of the state
university has decided to sell $4,000
acres of that institutions land to
those who desire to take advantage
of present conditions to raise wheat.
Last week it inspected the lands in
Douglas county preparatory to the
sale. The board will do all in its
power to assist applicants and will
sell the acreage on a basis of one
tenth down, as limited by law. Since
the minimum price on any OF this
land is SO per acre, the lowest terms
will be one dollar down. These
lands" says Recent Rea, Twill be for
the actual improvers, the men who
want to raise wheat and profit by
taking advantage of the frontier and
a comparatively new country, but not
too far from rail or river" n

"Nicc and the Prize Ring"
(Pryallup Valley Tribune.)

The fallen champion, Jack John
son, was gifted by nature with a per.
feet body and an empty head. BY
scientific training of his wonderful!
muscles he made himself the best
prize-fighter in the world, but the
notoriety he gained by his triumph
unsettled his feeble mind. Instead of
continuing that course of abstinence
and hard training which had led IN
to his success, he plunged into the
depths OF debauchery. His bestial
passions-as the Portland Oregonian
said in an editorial of last Tuesday
were let loose in every direction.
Whatever we may think of the prize
ring, there is one thing in it's favor
A man cannot hope for success there
unless he lives a temperate and reg
ular life. Physical and moral laxity
show their effects Immediately in
diminishing efficiency in the ring.
They destroy a mans fighting power
just as they destroy a mans working
power. Eminence of every kind is
based on sound morals. Let a man
once relax his moral conduct and his
powers of mind and body quickly
lose their fine edge. He may drone
along for years doing "pretty WE'LL"
but he can never hope to be first in
anything as long as he is not COM
plete master of his passions. Jack
johnson never was, of course, any
thing but an animal, but he was a
fne specimen CT his kind, and he
might have held his championship
for years if he had lived decently.
But even an animal can destroy his
physical fitness by reckless indul-
gence. For the prize ring as for
business and the professions the price
of success is selfcontrol.

Condition Of States Finances.
(Big Bend Outlook.)


The state of Washington started
its new fiscal biennium April 1 a
million and a quarter dollars better
off financially than it was two years
ago, the monthly statement of State
Treasurer Edward Meath shows.
When Governor Lister and the new
state treasurer were inaugurated the
state general fund was not merely
exhausted but considerably over
drawn, this overdraft totaling $685.
O39 April 1, 1913. In addition the
most extravagant legislature in the
history of the state had appropriated
nearly $8,000,000 from the general
fund, making it necessary for the
state board of equalization to in
crease the general fund levy to three
mills, the extreme statutory limit, in
1914. Even this levy would have
been insufficient to have brought the
general fund out of "the red" had
appropriations been expended. Care
full and conservative expenditures,
however, made 1t possible to save a
considerable portion of the money
appropriated, this money reverting
to the general fund at the end of the
biennium. AS a result the general
fund shows, instead of an overdraft,
cash balance of $727,93S. The
total cash balance of al state funds
amounts to $3,384,565.

An "AbOut Face" by Railroads.
(Chehalis Bee-Nugget.)

A peculiar railroad story was made
public last week, when some of the
transcontinental railroads now ter
minating in Seattle, Tacoma and
Portland, asked the interstate COM
MERGE commission to allow them to
establish lower rates to Spokane and
other interior points, including Che
halls, Centralia and other towns, be-
cause of Panama canal competition.
If this be allowed it would be a big
advantage to the interior points. OF
course the city jobbers will fight it,
since if it becomes effective, distrib-
uting points may be established at
the smaller places. For twenty years
the railroads fought the very thing
they are now asking for, and the COM
