there are one or two spots of al
kali in the valley that would fur
nish sufficient acreage for ex-
perimental purposes.
In other words, there is no soil
experiment which could be con-
Quoted at Yakima that could not
be successfully conducted here,
but it would be absolutely i'm
possible with a station at North
Yakima to conduct an expert
ment on sandy loan which re-
quires radical different methods
of irrigation and fertilization
from volcanic ash, and thousands
of acres of which are now under
cultivation in the Columbia val
ley. - ~. '.E
What is true of soils is like
wise true of climate. There is
not one single crop that can be
grown in the upper Yakima val
ley that cannot be grown in this
district because of climatic con-
ditions. The reverse, however,
is not true. The early fruits and
vegetables of the Columbia val
ley, which are annually becom-
ing more and more a factor in
the states farm production, can
not be grown in the Yakima dis
trict.
There is only one crop which
Yakima has become rather noted
for, that as yet Kennewick has
not produced, and that is dyspep-
STA.
But, the Colonel says we can't
raise potatoes! On this point
there is really nothing to ar
que over. The Colonel is wrong
= that's all. We not only raise
the same kind of spuds that
Yakima does, but we also raise
an early crop that Yakima
doesn't. Last year the Ken
newick- Richland Marketing I'm
ion alone marketed % full car
loads of these early potatoes and
to date this year there has been
seven carloads of seed sold for
early planting. 1t is easy to UNI
derstand why the Colonel re-
ceived this erroneous idea. There
have been years when the Ken
newick farmers have sold their
potatoes when prices were high
and then later in the season
bought Yakima spuds when the
prices were low. It is manifest
ly unfair of the Colonel to hold
up the good business sense of the
Kennewick farmers as a natural
defect of the district. Surely
this valley is not to be condemn
ed because some years its farm
ers sell their potatoes at 3 cents
a pound and eat Yakima spuds
at a cent and a half.
We can agree with the Colonel
in questioning the wisdom of the
legislature definitely fixing the
location of an experiment sta
ton, unless such action is based
upon information furnished by
experts, but our digestion has
not yet become so impoverished
that we are willing to stand for
his eliminating spuds from our
diet.

THE EXPERIMENT STATION

THE EXPERIMENT STATION
@oL. ROBERTSON, of the
- Yakima Republic, thinks
somebody let the bill for an ex-
pertinent station get all balled up
in the legislature. He says: T.
at is greatly to be regretted that
the plan to establish an irrigation ex-
pertinent station was mishandled in
the lower house at Olympia. This is
very important matter, and, If pos
sible, the error that was made in defi-
nitely locating the station should be
repaired by the legislature.
"The bill as originally introduced.
provided for such station, and for its
location somewhere in the irrigated
sections by the experts of the state
college. The house amended the bill
to provide for location at Kenne-
wick" 49,. ....- As
This far in his editorial Col.
Robertson is perhaps right, but
he gets as badly muddled as he
intimates "The Lady from Yaki-
ma" did, when he says:
"There is strong feeling among the
people in the irrigated sections not To-
Gated on the Columbia river that such
station will be so handicapped by
conditions that it will never be of any
value to them, and that if they are
to obtain any benefit from experiment
tai work and observation another sta
ton will be necessary. Soil and eli
mate on the Columbia are entirely
different from what they are in the
larger and more populous districts
back from the river. Many of the
crops for which experimental work is
especially desired are not produced
there and perhaps never will be.
$50 far as the Yakima country is
concerned, the great bulk of the popu-
lation and the seat of its industries
are in the section from so to 100 miles
back from the Columbia. In the up
per regions there are variations in soil
and climate not found down below.
With the beet industry, in which no
less than $2,00O,000 will be invested
this year, Kennewick has nothing to
do. Experimental work is almost a
necessity for this industry. The same
thing may be said in regard to pota-
toes"
There are two reasons why the
Kennewick amendment was
tackled onto the bill. An over
whelming majority of the house
members became convinced be-
yond any question Of a doubt
that a deal had been framed up
to trade North Yakima the ex-
pertinent station for the state
fair with never a thought as to
where the station should be To-
Gated to do. the most good to the
most people or where it could
contribute most to the advance
ment of diversified farming on
irrigated lands. Secondly, Rep
resentative Moores was able with
facts and figures to show that an
experiment station located near
Kennewick could administer
more completely to the needs of
irrigated farming than could the
same station located at North
Yakima. He was able to show
further that with the station To-
Gated at Kennewick instead of
North Yakima the taxpayers Of
the state would save at least five
dollars on every round trip made
by an expert from the state col

Lamson's Grain Letter.

Chicago, May Observation-Disclosures was
enough short covering on a break of
nearly % cents this morning to check
the steady decline which has been tax
ing place in wheat since maximum
prices were fixed and to cause a fair
recovery Of the early loss. Since prices
have declined there is now becoming
public an over-bought flour situation,
which was brought about by bullish
crop adviceS and the much advertised
shortage in old wheat. 1t is a fact
that speculation is not now putting
priced down; it is rather the mechan-
ical method which has been applied
to the situation. in orde rtO prevent ILL
advised forcing of higher levels in the
extremity in which the country now
finds itself. Cash wheat is being in
fuenced by the decline in futures, and
this will ultimately effect material
reduction in flour prices. While the
process has been very disagreeable. 1t
is to be hoped that the end justities
thu means.
Corn and oats-Short selling was
overdone in the coarse grains on an
early break, and the net loss for the
day was moderate. The reaction in
corn was due largely to the maintain
ing of high prices for ~ spot article
which today went to a shipping differ
ence over Kansas City.

The wave of patriotism sweeping over
the country should not seize upon par
sim0niOus economy as q means Of ex-
preston. There Is no need for people
to cease purchasing; there Is need only
for the elimination Of extravaganza and
waste. There Is no reason whatever
for curtailment of the use Of things or
dinarily needed by the people; there is
need that everything be put to use.
AS patriots it is our duty to stop the
wastage of food; as patriots 1t Is equal
ly important that we do not stop the
ordinary purchasing on which the bust
ness and the industry Of the country
are founded. Hysterical economy il as
much menace to the nation as is
prodigal waste. The pursuance Of our
normal business along usual lines Is Of
paramount Importance at this time in
order that our nation may maintain it
self on a sound economical and indus
trial basis from which to prosecute the
military phase of the struggle for the
freedom OF mankind.

Chicago, May is-There seemed tc
be no bottom today to the wheat mar
ket. Lack Of support was so evident
that prices made almost a sheer de-
scent Of 10 cents a bushel. Under the
emergency regulations in force the
only possible buyers would have to be
shorts but demand from this source
appeared to have been satisfied. Scarce
a score of brokers were in the pit and
the aggregate OF trading seemed less
than a fraction Of one per cent. of the
total volume Of business ordinarily
transacted. Opening prices, which rang
ed from to Is cents lower, with July
at 2S5 10 2.4O, and September at 2.O6
10 2.13, were followed by setbacks re-
spectively to 2.25 and 2.o2, with only
transient intervening rallies Of l or 2
cents
Before tie first hour Of the session
ended September wheat broke still fur
Their, smashing below So and selling at
sl9S, an overnight fall Of % cents a
bushei,
July tumbled even further than Sep
cents Fear of government action IN
fixing a permanent legal maximum
price was said to be a bearish influence
and so too was ideal weather for the
growing crop. The close was firm at
cents to IA cents decline. with Jnly af
$3.50 and September at s2.07.
Corn.
Corn dropped with wheat. The warm
weather, favorable to crop develop
ment, tended also to increase bearsh
sentiment. After opening /. cent to rs
cents lower, corn descended to cents
or more under yesterdays finish,
Later upturns took place when
wheat developed some power to re-
cover. Besides that much replanting
of corn would be necessary as result
of recent cold. The close was nerv-
Gus at a setback of / cent to "a cents
