STOCK AND CROP NOTES

1t is estimated that fruit shipments
from the Yakima district for the COM
ing season will be about 1924 car
lads.
Reports from the Dayton, Wash,
section indicate severe damage to
fruit crops from heavy frosts, one ap-
pie orchard being completely cleaned
out, according to ]. L. Dumas.
Cutting of the first crop of alfalfa
has been begun in several parts of
the Walla Walla valley, being about
ten days earlier than last year, and it
is estimated that it will be about two
thirds of last years average.
The increase in freight rates an
nounced by Secretary McAdoo will
materially affect the Yakima fruit in
dutsry. Action has already been taken
by Manager L. f. Salisbury of the
fruit growers agency to get definite
information as a basis for protest. A
call has come from the Washington
public service commission for con
ference on this matter at Seattle Sat
urday. Yakima will have a strong
delegation present at that meeting.

BROOD SOWS NEED EXERCISE
Vigorous Litters-Make Them
Hustle for Corn Ration.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
One of the biggest hindrances to the
sows' narrowing good. strong. vigorous
filters is lack of exercise. During the
cold and snowy weather hogs like to
lie around the sleeping quarters and
be comfortable. That, however, is
just what they should not do all the
time.
The proper exercise for a brood
SOW is that which she will take vol
UNFAIRLY and not through force. They
should get their corn ration by hus-
Ting for it in the stalk fields and nc.
by getting it fed around the sleeping
quarters. on feeding floors, or in
troughs. Feed them ear corn during
the winter months and scatter it out
in the stalk fields The manure
spreader is a good implement to use
in scattering this corn. Don't be afraid
1t will be wasted for II won't You
can readily regulate the amount fed
so that it will be picked up clean. and
you will find next spring that there is
not a bit of the corn lying around to
go to waste.

BEES AID TO FRUIT GROWERS
Insect Has important Place in Agricul-
ture as Agent for Cross-Fer-
tiiizinq Flowers.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agricultural
While beekeeping is usually cOnsid-
cred only as the Industry of honey pro-
duction. it is important to remember
that the honey bee has an important
place in American agriculture as an
agent for cross-fertilizing flowers. The
value of the honey bee in this regard
varies in different places and with diff
ferent seasons, but it Is conservative
TO state that the bee is of more value
in cross-fertilizing than in honey pro-
duction. Many fruit blossoms re-
quire cross-fertilization before they
will set fruit, and the same thing is
true of other plants, such as the clio
vers and buckwheat While many
wild species of insects serve this pur-
pose. the honey bee is the only one
which can be introduced economically
to an orchard or farm, and. therefore,
may serve as an insurance to cross
fertilization if the weather permits
their flight during the blooming period

INDUSTRY AND IMPROVEMENT

The commissioners of Grant coun-
ty have let contracts for the construc-
ton of roads in the Warden and
Wheeler sections at a cost of $17,93s.
A contract has been let by the COM
missioners of Whitman county for the
construction of about three and three
fourths miles of road from Tekoa
north to the Spokane county line at
a cost of $43,416.
The Pacific Coast Steel Co., now
operating plants at San Francisco,
Seattle and Irondale, Wash, will be-
gin at once the erection at Portland
of a S750,0OO rolling mill and open
hearth furnace. The plant will have
an output of 100000 tons a month (;
and will employ between 400 and 500
men.

has been limited and demand slow, but
most mills have been operating large
ly on government contracts. The en-
tire trade is cheered by the excellent
crop prospects and the hope that we
may be able to furnish necessary
supplies to our allies and still curtail
substitute requirements, thus enabling
mills to run to capacity.
Feed-Corn is down a little this
week-simply a reaction from a too
high level. Otherwise there are no
changes of note. The limited produc-
ton of bran and shorts is quickly alb
sorbed by the trade and prices are
firm. The food administration new
ruling fixes prices of all wheat feeds
at 50 ton over bran, and of mixed
feeds at S1.25 over. Oats and barley
are easy under light demands but
supplies and offerings are small

The stalks then can be cut with a disk
harrow much better than if left stand
ing. If the disks of the disk harrow
are sharp, they viii Gu. the stalks into
short pieces, which soon decay. 1t is
never advisable to rake and burn
stalks and other trash on cornfelds
that are to be sown to oats unless the
quantity is so great that 1t can not
possibly be covered by disking. This
humus-making material should not be
destroyed but should be worked into
the soil.
Oats always should be sown as early
in the spring as the land can be work
ed, but the proper preparation should
not be sacrificed to gain little time
in getting the seed into the ground.
Oats do best when sown in a rather
firm seed bed. with two to three inches
of loose, mellow soil on the surface
This can be obtained best on corn
stalk land by breaking the stalks,
double disking either by tapping half
or cross disking, and thorough harrow
ing with a spike-tooth harrow. lap
ping half with a disk harrow leaves
the surface more nearly even than when
the field. is disked. The disks should
be set to run three or four inches deep.
After the seed bed is in good condition
the seed should be sown and the field
again narrowed.
The land seldom is plowed for oats
that follow a cultivated crop Spring
blowing usually is not profitable, as
there is little time to allow the sub
surface to become compact and the
land is rarely in proper condition to
pillow before the oats should be sown.

REVOLUTION AGAIN
AMONG RUSSIANS
QUESTION OF BREAD SUPPLY
NOW DOMINATES ALL
OTHERS.
STATE OF SIEGE AT MOSCOW
Large Owners Are Modifying Peas
ants to Resist the Governments
Plan to Take Wheat-Plan
to Starve Masses.

London.-The discovery in Moscof
and Petrograd of large counter-revo-
lutionary plot which stretches
throughout the whole of Russia is an
nounced in a Russian wireless mes
sage received here Monday night. To
this plot is attributable in part the
mutiny of the Czecho-Slovak troops
which have captured important rail-
way functions and lines.
The Soviet executive decided on
May 20 to undertake the partial call
ing to arms of several classes of
workmen and the poorer peasants in
Petrograd and Moscow and the XII
ban and Don regions.
At the time Moscow had been de-
clared in a state of siege. Counter
revolutionaries have been arrested in
considerable numbers and energetic
measures have been taken against
the press. These measures are nee
essary, it is announced, owing to the
situation in which the Russian revo-
luton has been placed.
Bread Is Dominating Question.
The question dominating all others
is THAI of supplying the people with
bread, now that Russia has been de-
prived of the Ukraine granary. The
Kuban and Don regions are, accord
ing to the Russian scheme, menaced
by counter-revolutionary band
which hopes by means of complica-
lions to provoke Intervention by for
eifn powers and thus drive the Rus
sian masses toward famine.
In some regions the large own
ers are mobilizing the well-to-dO
peasants, with the object of resisting
the efforts of the government to com
mandeer the flour depots, and are
trying to conceal their stocks for
purposes of future speculation and
finally, agents of the counter-revolu
ton in the cities throughout the
country, says the statement, "are
seeking to excite the starving masses
against the Soviet government

Grain, Flour and Feed.

Wheat-The situation in the Pa
cific northwest is far from active. Mills
seem to have taken and ground their
allotments and there is little likelihood
of much wheat being milled after
June l unless the grain corporation
modifies its orders. 1t is reported
there are still about 100000 bushels
yet available and millers are anxious
to grind this if they may. Otherwise
most mills will lose down soon after
June 1. Reports indicate that crops
in this section have lately had suffi-
cient moisture to insure a good yield
and with a full acreage, the outturn
is likely to be a bumper one. The
outlook for the nation too, is favorable
and a wheat crop of 1000, 100000 bush
els is predicted. Local quotations are

Youth Is Lovely in Organdie
A Daily Enshion Talk BY Florence Rose

BECAUSE this little dress suggested

younger sister eager for her first real

for you today. II is really, truly girlish

easy matter to discover a young girls
frock that has not some grown-up factor

Now. however. that young girls have
their own designers-men and women
who know youth in its every Dhase-we
are finding more of these girlish frocks
than of yore.
You will be surprised | am sure, to
hear that this dress is made Of organdie

It did not bear the hallmarks of or

summer frocks shown this year are of
organdie.
1t seems to me this might we'll be
described az simple affair enhanced
only with fagoting. and in those few
words volumes have been said.
The skirt. which is straight and full.
has deep hem and simulated plat
below the hip line marked by the fagot-
ing. The dropped shoulder and the deep
cuff. as well as the front of the bodice,
are also trimmed with the fagoting.
The deep rolling collar opens at the back
and is trimmed with small white buttons.
Sashes, by the way, as ! have told you
before, play a very important role in the
clothes intended for this summer. and
the pet style so far seems to be the sash
that ties in bow at the back. as Is
shown in the sketch, and organdie does
make crisp, perky bows--there's no deny
ing that.
The hat worn with this model is OF
rose pink organdie, matching the original
model Of this frock. The crown is
draped with ribbon of Joffre blue tied
in n double bow at the back. Small
roses in pastel shades hold the ribbon to
