Big Crop of Peas.

Peas seem to have passed the eX-
detrimental stage. The crop this year
promises great returns. The damp
and cloudy weather has been especial
~ favorable to the pea. i is forging
ahead wonderfully wherever planted
and the acreage is large. TIE fact
that rhisscrop enriches the soil while
at the same time yielding big returns,
makes It especially attractive for pro-
gressive farmers.
In the light of these things it is not
surprising that predictions arc freely
heard that good Palouse land is to go
to 5000 an acre in this vicinity in the
near future.

Spinach Even Better

Spinach is expected to do still bet
ter. Ten acres will be planted to
spinach. Spinach seed is in big de-
mand at As cents a pound and good
soil such as is to be found anywhere
around Moscow will yield 1000 pounds
of spinach seed to the acre. This
would mean returns as high as 5000
to the acre.
This experiment with radish and
spinach seed is to be tried out on
"Drummore,' one of Mr.. Williamson's
farms where it is thought the soil
and other conditions are especially
favorable. The planting will be done
at once and every care will be taken
to the end that a fair test be made.
1t is the settled conviction of the men
at the head of the undertaking that it
will open up wonderful possibilities
for farmers in this section.

PaIOuse Industry

A new industry of fine promise is
to be given a trial in this community
this. year-the raising of radish seed
and spinach seed on an extensive
scale.
This experiment is to be tried out
thoroughly by N. Williamson and
Harry Whittier. Twenty acres will
be planted to radishes. The seed
sells readily at 80 cents a pound and
it is estimated that any good Palouse
soil will yield from 1900 to 1000 lbs.

witch village, is Abingdon square,
which in popular parlance is as big as
"a minute" The square is at Eighth
avenue and Hudson street, and in spite
of it's size, has a double record. 1t is
listed not only as a park, but as a
playground. In this quaint little cor
ner of Greenwich village the memory
is kept alive of Charlotte Warren, a
New York girl, daughter of Sir Peter
Warren, and Susanna de Lancey.
Charlotte vas the oldest daughter of
this union, and married Willoughby,
earl of Abingdon. The countess of
Abingdon's name was also attached'to
the long. vanished Abingdon road, also
called Love lane, which ran westward
from Broadway, practically on the
lines of the present Twenty-first
street. Abingdon square is in the
heart of that section of the city still
known as Greenwich village. Nova
days it is very similar to the Latin
quarter of Paris and is the living place

Future Supply Of Gasoline.

When the quantity of petroleum
that can be obtained from the oil wells
of the country begins to show signs Of
diminution there will still be a virtu-
ally inexhaustible source of supply. It
is the shale beds of Colorado, Utah
and Wyoming. The United States geo.
logical survey estimates that in Colo
beds three or more feet thick, to yield
20,000,000,0O0 barrels of crude Oil,
from which at least 1000, 100000 bar
rels of gasoline can be extracted.
Bituminous shale is a clayey, flaky
mock that contains hydrocarbons or
bituminous materials. Heat changes
them into crude Oil, gas and ammonia.
The refined oil yields about ten per
cent of gasoline, 35 per cent Of kero-
enc and a considerable quantity of
paraffin. In Scotland they have ex-
tracted Oil from shale for more than
fifty years, but the average quantity
of Oil recovered from a ton of shale
is much less than the amount our own
shales would yield. The retail price
Of gasoline is now higher than it has
ever been before. According to gov
eminent figures, the total yearly out
put is about 63,OO0,O00 barrels, and, as
it is estimated that only about 934,-
100000 barrels can be produced from
the present sources, there is little
prospect that the price will come

voted to his wife, who preceded
him to the grave a year ago, and

This survey comes as a result OF in
quiries from women in all parts of the
country asking for war work. Mrs.
Joseph r. Lamar, of Georgia, chairman
OF the Committee on State 0rganiza-
ton OF the womcn's committee, has
made the following statement concern
ing this work:
THE registration Of women Is bound

hundreds of women Cor service and for
training for the service which will
enable them 10 be Of the greatest
value to the country.
MANY Of the state divisions have
already established committees on in
struction which plan surveys Of the
courses offered by state, county or
community institutions. These commit
tees will make a study of the registra-
ton to discover the lines Of service
desired by women FOR active work. The
committee will then ask these institu-
tons 10 add courses. or, II this is not
possible, the committee on instruction
may plan courses under It's own direc.
ton.
Teachers who volunteer their SER
ices or receive a minimum fee will

for nurses, stenographers and type
writer's. Women are being urged to
take hospital training Or enter bust
ness colleges. Stenograrhers employed
by the government are obtained OF
course only through civil service ex-
. aminaCious.
"The matter of giving training in
any occupation desired is one that
must be determined by the local and
state committees.
The surveys which are being con-
sidered will include the courses being
given by the Young Women's Christian
Association. the public schools and the
business and academic colleges. Tho

in the finding of work for women who
want 20 be Of service to their country
and is encouraging the forming OF
