For the week ending Sept. 5, 1916.
With the exception of light to mod
crate showers on August 31st and
light scattered showers during the
night of Sept. 3, dry weather contin-
ued and the drought is unbroken.
The first few days of the week were
moderately cool, but high tempera-
lures prevailed at the close of the
week, the last day being the warm
est, when readings above 80 degrees
were general. The continued dry,
hot weather is maturing corn rapidly
and some of it is already beyond
danger of frost. With normal
weather about so per cent of the
crop will be safe from injury by frost
by Sept. 20; IS per cent by Sept. 80,
and practically all of it by Oct. 10.
Over the northern half of the state
nearly all of the crop will be safe by
sept. So Corn is being cut and silos
filled in some localities, and sweet
corn harvest for canning is we'll I'M
der way with yields of three to five
tons per acre. Rain now would not
| be of any benefit to late potatoes,
but would be of great help to pas
lures, meadows and for fall blowing.
Wells and springs are failing in some
sections and all streams are low.
Following is summary showing
condition Of crops on Sept. 1, as COM
pared with the average of past years
,'on that date: Corn SO per cent, pas
lures ", potatoes So, flax IS. On
Aug. LIST conditions were: corn 80

EXPERTS FILE PREDICTIONS

STATE COLLEGE, Pullman, Oc-
tober 16, 1916.-Walter Hogan, or
iGinator Of the Hogan System" of
predicting the egg laying ability of
hens, and Oscar Nelson, poultry
Judge, finished their work at the
State College of Washington last
week, and have left behind them
with Mrs. Helen Dow Whitaker OF
the State College, who is directing
the great All-NorthWest Egg Laying
Contest, which began yesterday, sta
tistics on each of the 1900 competing
hens. Duplicates of these lists-one
for each bird-have been sent to
every owner.
On the slips filed by Mr.. Hogan
appear two estimates-one the lay
of the hen when in practically perfect
condition; the other, the lay of the
bird if continuing in the same con
dition as when examined. Both sets
of figures are for the lay of one year
from October 10, 1916, to Oc-
tober Is. 1917-the time set for the
contest to run.
On the slips filed by Mr.. Nelson is
a Judgment of the bird as u speci-
men, without regard to her possible
egg laying ability. AS to whether
the best birds are the best layers,
this contest may largely help to de-
termine.
Some surprising results may be eX-
pected if Mr. Hogan's predictions
come true, as he anticipates great
reyersals in form in the case OF some
of the flocks which produced high
pens in the great Missouri, Panama
Pacific. and Victoria Egg Laying
Contests. Some of the flocks most
carefully 'Hoganized' by disciples OF
the Hogan System, win scant APP
proyal according to the figures pre-
dicted for their lay by the master.
His estimates vary from a mini
mum of zero to a possible maximum
of 265 eggs for the years lay OF any
one hen. and the previous record Oh
the bird does not enter at all into his
calculations. With fifty-fiye years
avnerience in the breeding of poultry,

New COATS nave Large High collars
coats look so warm and comfortable
with their large, high collars that
button snugly to the neck. Many of
the collars are made of fur or fur
cloth, which may be had in such
good limitations that only a very ex-
perienced eye could tell the differ
ence. The materials for coats this
season are simply irresistible; so
beautiful are they in the rich, warm
Colors and so wonderfully soft in
texture. Without being heavy or
clumsy, they are warm enough for
the cool weather.
Among the very newest materials
are Bolivia cloth, rich fabric with d
sheen; and burella, a soft open
weave som ewhat like homespnu, but
very much more attractive and finer
in quality. In addition to these,
there are the we'll known wool We
lous, wool pushes and wool velyets
as we'll as many other fancy coat
ings. A pleasing note in the devel-
opment of the new coats for fall is
the use of bright colored Innings. A
very handsome imported coat of
navy blue serge had a bright cerise
inning which showed when the
fronts were rolled open. Glimpses
OF 1t were also seen in the lining
OF the collar and cuffs. Other charm
Ing combinations that have been
seen in the way of Innings, are brown
with light blue, and black with GER
ise.
Like the coat in the illustration, a
great many models show the straight
closing down the front with grace
iully curved lines at the sides. The
back and sides are belted. Some
models, however, are, on the con-
trary, very full at the back and have
no belt at all to confine the fulness
which starts at the neck and in
oreases as the coat lengthens. Fur
collars are particularly good style
this fall. Hudson seal, beaver
kolinsky, fitch, skunk and rabbit are
the pelts most used Very often the
cults are of matching fur, too, but
III many instances only the collar is
of fur.
Quilting New Idea
A very novel idea that has been
brought from Paris is the quilted eff
lect on suits; and even waists have
oeen made in this style. The quilt
ing is done by Misunderstanding in
pretty designs rather than in
straight lines, and the effect is so
inherent from anything else that it
mas been very much admired. Satin
anu SILK suits are made with deep
oands of quilting at the edges OF
oo'h skirts and coats. Another way
VI using the quilting idea is in
souches on collar, pockets and cuffs.
sumo quilted waists have been fur
'uer decorated with French knots IN
neaVy yarn. Some of these waists
are intended especially for sports.

SCOTT HOLDS UPPER HAND; US.
MEN OUTNUMBER 'MEXlCANS
Ell Paso, May 1O.-Gen. Scott holds
whiphand today in his negotiations
with War Minister Obregon. For the
first time American forces available
for duty along border in Mexico were
numerically superior to Mexican
troops and military officials believed
ObregOn's bluff had been called. An
other conference between war heads
is expected today and authorities
confidently expected full agreement
on details Of original plan.
While Scott Obdurately refused to
listen to any plan involving a time
limit on expedition, American mill
tary preparations were progressing
rapidly to throw 1000 men within
striking distance Of Mexico.
ObregOn lost no time seeking con-
ference after Pres. Wilson ordered
Texas, Arizona and New Mexico mi
litia to border.
ObregOn submitted proposition for
Americans to return to border and
from their own soil cooperate with
equal number of Carranzistas in
wiping out bandits. Scott promptly
turned down the proposition.
When the meeting ended the con-
ferees accepted SCOTS invitation to
lunch in his private car, and, at part
ing, the men appeared entirely
friendly, promising resumption of
negotiations today.
American officials were confident
today that an agreement will be
reached, possibly at this afternoons
meeting.
