WHEAT

Crop advices from Kansas were again OF
very pcSsimstic character, and in conte-
quence the wheat market. following some
hesitation at the start. developed pronounced
frmness and at the close of the day showed
net gains Of Make. II. w Snow reported
very discouragingly regarding the situation
in Kansas and said that he had seen ana
heard enough 10 be convinced that the state
never had chance for more than 100000 oo
bushels, or much less. The last government
report placed the indicated crop in Kansas at
houses in the West were aggressive buyers
nj times. and the advance was helped by
what appeared TO be taking in of hedges
against export sales.
The export business for the day was estl-
mated at about 1000. 900 bushels. and while 1t
was comprised principally Of Manitoba wheat
there was fair proportion OF American hard
via Gulf ports.
In the cash market No durum was quoted

CORR.
The corn market was moderately active
and prices were frmer In sympathy with
wheat closing with net gains OF ia hsc.
The recent rains over the West were thought
10 have benefited the new crop. although
temperatures as n rule were considered too
low for active termination and growth or
fers from the country were moderate and re-
ceipts at interior points were smaller. Inc
Liverpool market was easier owing 10 liberal
Plate offers and a less active demand As
result of the cheapness OF other foedstufs.
In the local cssh market No yellow corn
was quoted at s7asc. i +. New York.

Contest what the laying ration used
IN the contest will be, stating that
they wish to put the pullets on this
ration now. Mrs. Helen Dow Whit

State College, offers the following
statement in reply:
If possible, during the month of
August, put your pullets on range
and feed plentifully of a rather plain
ration suited for growth, with plenty
OF tender, juicy feed and fresh water
and exercise. Your part now is to
build a good frame with an active.
healthy digestive apparatus inside of
it. When the birds reach Pullman
our part will be to bring the pulIets
into full laying as quickly as possible
and then force them for the maxi
mum egg production consistent with
the health of the flock.

INFANTILE PARALYSIS

lnfantile paralysis is now epidemic
In New York and in some other east
ern states. We hope that Washing
ton will escape this epidemic and
every effort is being made to prevent
Its invasion of our state. However,
we are not justified in assuming that
We can prevent this invasion. and we
should, therefore, proceed on the as
sumption that the disease will be cpl
demic in Washington either this year
or next, and therefore prepare to
avoid an epidemic in the state.
The first procedure in prepared
ness is to remove every article that
might in any way tend to the possible
spread of the disease. We do not
know how the disease is transmitted
today. There are numerous theories
with regard to its transmission but
no one of these theories has been
found to be the sole means by which
the disease is conveyed from one to
another. Dust is considered one of
the means by which it is transmitted
Files may also transmit the disease.
IT Is also claimed that there are
carriers of this disease, as there
are OF diphtheria and typhoid fever,
In TACT all the methods by which
communicable diseases are transmit
ted have been advanced as means by
which infantile paralysis may be
transmitted.
Therefore, our duty in the matter
OF preparedness to meet this disease
Is that OF general sanitary measures;
namely, every hamlet, town and city
