ing classes this year. Forty OF these
are from the high school. Owing to
the large number who wished to con-
tinue the work in home economics, a
third year in domestic science course
is being given this year.
About twenty-five boys, with Mr..
McKim as coach, are turning out on
Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays
for football practice. The team will
probably not be as heavy as it has
been some years, but the coach and
team are hoping it will be an all
around better team, as they are max
ing a special effort to work up speed.
The boys wish to make enough over
and above the expenses to purchase
new suits this year. If they have the
proper support of the high school and
of the townspeople they can do it.
Announcement is made of change
in the closing hour of the schools in
the afternoon, dismissal after this
week to occur at $40 instead of $3.50.
The change is made to accommodate
the program of the advanced grade
pupils at the high school building so
that each of the four grades there
may have the special subjects-man-
ual training, domestic seine ,weegtoain
ual training and domestic science, mu-
sic and drawing week and still
have time for full periods in arith-
metic, grammar, reading, spelling,
writing, history, geography and ply
siology. The alteration of periods in
some subjects tried last year did not
give sufficient time for the most thoro
work in those subjects, so this addi-
tional time is desired by the teachers.
The primary grades will dismiss as
heretofore at the Washington build
ing. Inasmuch as the time on the
longest bus routes has been materially
shortened by the motor busscs it is
thought that this additional ten min
utes will not cause especial incon-
venience to any one.

FARMERS CAN GROW
TWO SILAGE CROPS
County Agriculturalist Lampson
Explains How to Keep Sil0
Working All the Time

All dairymen, especially those who
own or are contemplating the con-
struction of silo, should be interest
ed in knowing that some of the farm
ers in Benton county have grown two
crops of silage on the same ground.
The great value of this method has
been demonstrated in this county to
be entirely practicable. The silo own
sers cannot afford to have their silos
standing empty during the summer
season. Summer silage is of unesti-
mable value to the dairy herd, and the
silo is far better off to have silage in
it than to be standing empty. Fur
thermore, this method will keep the
capital invested in the silo working
all of the time.
For those who want two crops of
silage next year, it is necessary that
they start operations very soon. The
plan is briefly this:
Sow winter wheat in the fall and put
it in the silo as soon as it is ready in
the spring; then pillow the ground i'm
mediately and put it into corn with
which the silo will be filled next fall.
In order to grow two crops of silage
per year on the same ground the soil
will need to be heavily fortified, but
any farm which has sufficient live
stock to consume two crops of silage
per year will have an abundant supply
of barn yard manure. 1t is prefer
able to sow the winter wheat early in
the fall; however, fairly good results
can be obtained if sown later.
The agricultural Office will be glad
to furnish any one who is interested,
further information on this method
and any information relative to time
to harvest the wheat or corn and de-
tails in regard to putting the silage up
so it will keep.

MAY STOCK LAKE
WITH GAME FISH
County Game Commission Plans.
to Drain and Improve the Van
Horn Lake Near Richland

If plans outlined by the Benton
county game commission materialize,
Van Horn lake, near Richland, is to
be converted into fishing and camp
ing resort. The commission visited
the lake Saturday for the purpose of
working out plans for improving it.
The idea upon which the commission
is working is to drain the lake, clean it
out, destroy the carp and then stock
it with bass fry and perch. County
Game Warden O'Connell has arranged
to secure several thousand perch from
the lakes neer Spokane. These perch
will be large enough to be fished for
and will provide sport for the anglers
until the bass fry are large enough.
An effort will also be made to secure
lease on some of the shore lands
which are to be converted into suitable
camping places and picnic grounds.
Warden O'Connell suggests that all
sportsmen provide themselves with a
copy of the game laws which the
county commission has prepared for
free distribution, in order that there
be no accidental violations of the law.
The first shooting in this county will
begin the first of October, when the
Chinese Plies SAINT season opens. The
Cinnamon will De lawful targets for
fifteen days or until October 16. The
bag limit for pheasants and other up
land birds is five day, and % week.
This year there will be open season on
sage hens from October Is until No
vember 1 inclusive.
Local sportsmen, however, are get
ting rather restless and do not intend
to wait for the season to open here,
but will take shot at prairie chickens
over in Walla Walla county where the
season opens tomorrow.
There are no changes in the law this
year regarding ducks and other water
fowl. The season opens October and
closes January Is. The bag limit is
20 week.
There will be no open season on

Force of LIGHT.

Light has an actual mechanical pres
sure and can be measured in the labora-
tory. 1t has been found that the suns
light in itself presses against the earth
with force something like 10000 tons.
AS the surface Of sphere varies as
the square of the radius. and as the
volume or mass varies as the cube or
the radius, and as the mechanical pres
sure of light on the whole surface
varies as that surface. and as the force
of gravity varies as the mass. If
sphere is made smaller and smaller 1t
is easily seen that the pressure of light
does not decrease SO fast as the force
of gravity, so bodies beyond certain
minuteness could not reach the sun,
but would be repealed by the mechanf-
cal force of its light.
