That eighty acres of land near
Fairfield, Washington, seeded one
year to peas and the following to
wheat, yielded $3456 more in the
two years than did an exactly SINH
lar eighty-acre field summer fallow-
ed one year and cropped to wheat
the next, is stated by ]. R. Shinn,
formerly connected with the agri-
cultural department of the univer-
sity, who is now agriculturist for
Spokane county.
Following summer following cult
walton the wheat yield averaged 26
bushels to the acre, whereas in the
same year the other field. cropped
in peas the preceding season, yield
ed an average of 35 bushels to the
acre. The crop which followed peas
sold for $576 more than that from
the other field, but the pea crop.
which averaged 20 bushels to the
acre, brought 500 more than the
better of the wheat crops. Peas
proved to be better than wheat
as money making crop.
Mr.. Shinn has pointed out that in
only three of the great wheat-grow-
ing counties of Washington. half a
million acres of land lie idle each
year as a result of the summer fall
low method of cultivation. 1t
means millions of dollars of loss to
the communities. Crop rotation
yields not only a cash return but in
creased income from the wheat crops

The man who can smile when
things go wrong is the man worth
while.
The thing to do is hope, not nope
The thing to do is work, not shirk.
Every thing comes to him who
waits,
And the lazy man waits to greet
it;
But success comes on with rapid
gait
To the fellow who goes to meet
it.

The dumping into the district OF sums
OF money on election day and the fine
farming weather which kept the Dem
ocratic vote away from the polls are
given as the reason why Senator
Woods did not follow the example OF
his Democratic predecessor. the late
Junior Brown, and carry the district.
The returns as received here are not
subject TO much change. or course
there are remote precincts which may
have been estimated instead OF report
ed. but these are not many.
The surprise OF the election was the
enormous vote that Bowers secured i'm
this. his home county. and the failure
OF his opponent TO carry his home
county of Barbour
Tonight here il is reported that
$4,000 in money, barrels OF whiskey
and the greatest activity ever exhibit

of Berkeley county for MIR. Bowers.
