INITIATION AS A DEFENSE.
Easy For the Puffer Fish to eaIk lts
Natural Enemies.


The puffer fish affords a novel exam
pie Of the way nature sometimes works
to protect her creatures. The many
different species inhabit all tropical and
other warm seas and certain large riv-
ers. Few Of them reach length Of
more than two feet
The peculiar characteristic common
to all Of them is their ability to initiate
themselves with air or water until they
become almost spherical in shape. The
air or water that fills the abdomen or
the esophageal sac is retained by q
valve In the throat and can be dis
charged almost instantly.
A few good sized soup were placed In
one OF the exhibition tanks of the New
York Geological society with a dozen
buffers about two inches long. The
hungry soup at once attacked the puff
ers, but in an instant every puffer in
dated itself so completely with water
that it became almost globular. All the
soup could do was to knock them about
like toy balloons. too big to be swal-
lowed, too smooth to afford any hold
to the jaws.
Puffers that become frightened near
the surface Of the sea and are inflated
with air sometimes drift ashore, where
they roll along the sands until they die
and are dried by the sun and wind
The Japanese make lanterns Of theil
dried inflated bodies, for the stretched
skin is as transparent as oiled paper.

THE MARKETING UNION

i feasibility or desirability of
eliminating 'shome" competition
in the marketing of farm pro-
ducts, surely such doubts have
been removed by results obtain
ed by the Observation-Disclosures
Marketing Union. 1t has been
demonstrated that the local
strawberries can be successfully
marketed under one control and
the demonstration, instead of
costing the growers anything,
has earned them many thous-
ands of dollars. |
At first this paper was inclin-
ed to look with disfavor upon the
widening of the scope OF the
marketing union, believing that
a safe policy would be to let good
enough alone. We are, however,
of the opinion that what has
been done with the strawberries
can successfully be done with
any other crop which in nature
/ is an exclusive product of the
Early Fruit Belt. BY exclusive
products we mean those crops
where early maturity is a big
factor or where we have a decid-
edly superior product as in the
case of asparagus or European
grapes.
We doubt the wisdom of the
local organizations attempting
at this time to market the win
ter apple crop which must be
sold in markets other than those
Of the Northwest and which can
best be handled where ample
storage facilities have been pro-
/ vided. With the possible excep-
ton of Jonathans, early matur-
ity is not a big factor in market
ing winter apples. The local pro-
| duct is no better than that grown
4 in other sections and the local
4 crop is mere drop in the bucket
n compared with the Northwest
i total tonnage.
u The Kennewick winter apple
crop is not now and probably
never will be dominant factor
in the market and we canno
hope to market it independently
/ of other sections of the North
west. This may also be true O
the peach crop. Although on
4 peaches are little earlier thai
the Yakima peaches we canno
Il successfully market them with
\ out the cooperation of Yakima
i whether such cooperation b
brought about by means of on
i organization or the alliance Q
two or more organizations. l
Il other words price control owe
winter apples and peaches car
II not be secured locally.
In great measure the Kennt
wick-Richland district is indl
pendent of other districts whe
it comes to marketing strawbe
ries, cherries, early potatoe
apricots, summer apples, aspa
. agus and grapes. With at lea
= 85 per cent Of any of these crol
under it's control any local 0
ganization would have but lit
difficulty in marketing insof'
as Northwest competition is CO
cerned.
For this reason it seems to
that good business dictates tn
these crops be brought under o.
control and that the grove
specialize in growing them r
Their than those crops which gil
them the advantage neither
early maturity nor superi
quality.

President Woodrow Wilson says: Back of all reform lies the meth cd of getting it. He then pointed out that the initia tive and referen- dunn are the necessary instru- ments in the hands of the people to secure these reforms. They are the key that opens the door to cur legislative house. . He de- scribes initiative and referendum by saying: The initiative is a means of seeing to it that measures which the people want shall be passed when legislatures defy or ignore public opinions. The refer endum is means of seeing to it that the unrepresentatiye measures which they do not want shall not be placed upon the statute book.

to make your crop. and the yield will pay you well for your trouble. Some farmers depend more on the land than labor to make crop and some depend more on their labor than on the land. Which makes the best crops9 You know. To which class do you belong? If you are in the wrong class, change. Remember the story of the grass hopper and the ant. The grass hopper sang and idled all summer while there was plenty and when the frost came and killed the grass he had nothing laid by and died. The ant was frugal. In time of plenty he worked and gathered for winter, and when frost came he had plenty. The far ner who would have plenty in winter must put the labor in his crop necessary to make a full yield and when it will do the most good

 There have also have been some other notable improvements made. viz, the substitution of steel where brass was formerly used, at very considerable lessening of expense; device for fastening foreign mail pouches, doing away with the old fashioned method of string and seal; scheme for saving tWine by means of a simple holder which permits free and easy use without waste, and flexible stamp design, for which the contract price was 34 cents. but which will now be made at a cost of but 8 cents. A me- chanical pickup or facing table for use in facing and stacking letters in first-elass postoffices has also been developed and will soon be perfect ed. This device is considered su- pefior to those now in use and costs less than one-third as much to manufacture. Those a present in use cost approximately $l. 500.
 It will thus be seen that the ac- tivities of the Postoffice Depart ment have been centered along lines which will not only produce large economies to the people of the country, but will also prove great convenience to those in the service.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness. and that 10 by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an tn- famed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infiamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t 10 entirely closed Deafness is the result. Unless the Inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition. hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which ts an infiamed condition of the mucous eur- faces. Halls Catarrh Cure acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the sys- tenn.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure Circulars free. All Druggists, 75c.

Cultivate Shallow.

So far the weather conditions have been good and the crop con- ditions are now fine-fine to 0 per cent above average; but remember the old adage, not to count the chickens before they are matched. The government reports for the last ten years show that the crop conditions were better in the month of June seven years out of the ten, and that the crop condi- tions got worse instead of better in every single instance. In nine of the ten years the crop condition was worse in July than June, in August and September was still more falling off. This report has reference to cotton. but it also ap- plies to corn and some of the otfer crops. Of course, the wheat and oat crops are made, but much de- bends on the season in the corn, hay. truok and garden crops. Just now many farmers are laying by their corn crops. Most of them should have one or two more culti- vations. Cultivate shallow and lay by shallow. Don't ridge up corn. If you have cultivated it properly it will stand up without a ridge and surely it will stand drouth better. Late cultivations pay best. When you raise a calf to be yearling you don't turn him out and expect him to make living for himself the balance of his life. Treat your corn crop like you would a yearl- ing. Don't turn it loose to take care of itself and fight the grass and weeds and dry weather just at it's most important stage in life, when it is just getting ready to make the grain. It needs plant food, moisture and protection from the weeds and grass for the next thirty days more than any other time. If you don't believe what say, just try it on a few rows of good corn and then let my know in the fall after you gather the corn.
 Those who can should get some crimson clover, winter vetch and winter rye and SOW between the corn rows at the last blowing. This will make you winter past ure and cover crop, and When you ploW it undef iH the spring, will make your soil better, This will beat buying so much fertilizer. Let the land make some of it's own fertilizer. This system will beat cowpeas. Every farmer who has pea patch should blow under a part of it, to see the difference it will make in the land Aa4t year. Try this, | aniy en a small strip. You will learn something from it: When the peas put on their full bloom and before any peas mature, take the disc harrow and disc, then cross disc, and then blow deep and turn under everything. In the fall break again turn under ali the new vegetation before frost. Break again early in the spring, double disc, harrow Weil aad roll or drag until you have perfectly pulver- ized piece oi land, before planting
