BULK GRAIN QUESTION
SUBJECT OF BULLETIN
Extension Service Issues Treatise of
Much Value To FarmerS-Giye
Results of Actual Experience
on Farms

The Bulk Handling of Grain on
Nashlngton Farms is the subject
of bulletin which will soon be ready
for distribution from the extension
service of the State College. The
bulletin was prepared by Asher Hob
son, field agent in marketing for the
State College and the bureau of mar
kets of the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture, who was recently named by
Governor Lister as director of the
state department of farm markets.
The purpose of the bulletin is not 70
advocate one or the other system of
handling grain on the farm. but gives
in concise form the experiences of 70
Washington farmers who in 1916
bulked over $4,000 bushels of
grain.
The bulletin deals with the meth
DDS of cutting grain employed by
these 70 farmers, of whom ga head
ed or bound and threshed and %
used combine. The methods of
storing the grain, or part of it. on
the farm, are also touched, with
numerous illustrations and bills of
material for portable grain bins and
permanent farm elevators or gran
aries.
Or the 10 farmers from whom the
Information was gathered, IA used
patented metal wagon boxes for
hauling the grain, 90 used patented
wooden boxes. while 10 used wagon
boxes made by themselves and 27
used converted sack racks. Detailed
plans are given for the construction
OF appliances necessary to the bulk
ing of grain. In conclusion, the bull
letin says:
Almost without exception. the
Washington farmer who bulked his
grain last year, 1915, intends doing
so this coming season. A majority
expressed themselves as unwilling to
return TO the sack system, even If
the sacks were to be secured free Of
charge. A few said that II sacks could
be bought for six or seven cents they
would use them"

HERBsTs PLEASE
OREGON AUDIENCE
Pullman Musicians Appear Before
Appreciative Audience at Union.
Oregon, Former Home of
Mrs. Herbst

The following story from the
Union (Oregon) Republican will be
OF interest to Pullman readers:
The concert given at the NJ. f..
church Friday evening by Mrs. Ina
Wright Herbst, soprano, and Prof.
Gottfried Herbst, violinist, both of
the faculty of the Washington State
College. accompanied by Mrs. Edith
Wright PLY. was attended by a high
ly appreciatiye audience of Union S
most representative people.
Several automobile parties came
over from La Grande and Haines for
the occasion and it was unanimously
conceded that the event was one of
the rarest musical treats accorded
this community in years.
AS is we'll known, Mrs. Ina Wright
Herbst is native daughter of Union.
whose career as a singer has been
one of unusual success-in grand
opera and teacher both in Europe
and America-and her position as as
sociate professor of vocal music at
the State College of Washington
places her in one of the lost au-
thoritatiYe places in the Northwest.
Prof. Herbst. as a violnist, has
few or no peers in this country. His
absolute mastery over the king of
Instruments, his wonderful tone and
gift of Interpretation, give him the
assurance and poise to present his
immense repertoire with finish to
command the respect of any audi
ence.
The program opened with Schu-
bert's "Omnipotence" master
piece for the voice, which in it's CON
trasts from the grandest dramatic
power to the sweetness Of lyric mel
ody, shows the wonderful versatility
OF this marvellous composer. The
songs by Berger and Ries, and the
operate arias from Carmen and Rig
oletto offered much variety in ex-
preston and technical skill and were
greatly appreciated
The violin concerto by Mozart the
difficult piano part of which was
played by Mrs. Edith PLY. with a
splendid conception of its style and
musical intention, was another ex-
quisite sample of the old classical
school, as was the Bach Sonata for
violin alone, of pre-classical period
and the enthusiasm with which these
numbers were received should do
much to dissipate the delusion that
the classics are beyond the under
of the average audience.
Prof Herbst closed the program
with the double number, fncludine
the "Adagio' from the Ninth Con
certo by Spohr, and Hubay's "Csar-
das'-a characteristic Hungarian
dance, the last part of which was re-
peated in response to an enthusiastic
encore

FOOTBALL PROSPECTS
SLIM FOR COLLEGE
Preparedness Campaign Plays Havoc
With Coach Dietz's Prospects for
Champion Eleven This Fall

With tho departure this week of
NJ. Ray Finney for the second Off
GERS training camp at the Preside,
Washington State Colleges prospects
for championship football team
this year viii receive another severe
jolt Finney has played a guard po-
sition during the past three years
and was depended upon as nucleus
for a strong line this fall. Only four
of the 1916 regulars were lost to
the college through graduation and
at the close of the season last fall the
prospects for this year were bright
indeed. War preparedness has
wrought havoc with the squad, how
ever and at the present time only
three of the 1916 regulars are sure
of returning this fall
Captain Zimmerman, end, has so
far escaped the draft and will be
back on the job unless Uncle Sam
calls him in the meantime. Hanley,
bGckfield man. also intends to re-
turn and Benton Bangs expects to
be back to round out his allotted
four years of gridiron activities for
his college Aside from these three
probabilities, the members Of the
squad are scattered to the four winds
and prospects for the season are
gloomy.
Brooks, tackle. and Brown,
quarter. were caught in the draft
Loomis. end has enlisted in the
navy, and Boone, the powerful full
back, intends to take the same ac-
ton. Doane, fullback, announces
positively that he will not play next
year. Fishback, guard. is not com
ing back, and Hamilton, another
guard who gave much promise dur
ing his first year. is an improbable
ity though he may arrange to be
back in school this fall. Little in
forma alton is available on Fat" Her
reid, who is now in the mines but
Fat" is liable to do that which is
most unexpected
The late opening of school will
prove another big handicap to Coach
Dietz, the big University of Oregon
game being scheduled for October
20, just 20 days after the opening of
school. Athletic Director Boiler
has acquainted Coach Lonestar Dietz.
who IS with the Mutual movies. of
the conditions which will surround
the team this fall, but the willy coach
responds in his usual optimistic tone,
stating that a team can be moulded
from raw material if need be, and
suggesting that the other conference
teams will be hit nearly as hard as
the State College eleven.
With game with the California
eleven only a possibility. owing to-
the athletic situation resulting from
the war, the W, S. c. schedule at the
present time is as follows:
Oct 20-University of Oregon at
Pullman.
oct 27-Whitman at Pullman.
Nov. 3-university of Idaho at
Moscow.
Nov 40. A. c. at Corvallis.
Nov, University of Montana

Nov. 29-University of Washing

arrange one or two practice games
to get line on the material previous
TO the big Oregon contest.
