Tho only effect the pamphlets have

COMMENDS FARMERS
FOR DEMANDING AGENT
Chester G. Farr, Former Pullman
Man, Tells of Benefits to Accrue
Through Agricultural Agents

The farmers of Whitman county
who demanded that the county COM
missioners make provision for the
appointment of a county agricultural
agent were warmly commended by
Chester c. Farr, county agent for
Snohomish county. in an address be-
fore the cham Der of commerce Tues
day. Mr., Farr is a son of ]. c. Farr
Of Albion, a pioneer of this county,
and a graduate of the College. He
called attention to the benefits ac-
cruing to the farmers of other coun-
ties through the efforts of their
county agents, and stated that Whit
man county is in a position to get
even greater benefits than many
other counties because of the great
scope of her agricultural industries.
MIR. Farr cited as an example of
the benefits to be derived by the
farmers through better business
methods the history of the COW test
ing associations of SnohOmish
county. One of these associations,
including between 800 and 600 COWS,
culled out 80 per cent of these COWS
during the first year as non-produc-
ers, the accounts of the association
showing that these animals had not
paid for their feed. Many of these
COWS had been MIXED by the farm
ers for several years, the owner be-
ing ignorant of the fact that they
were not paying for their keep, much
less returning dividend.
MIR. Farr is in Pullman attending
the annual conference of county ag-
ricultural agents and took the OPP
portunity while here of renewing
acquaintance with his many old
friends.

NOTED ATCTIONEER
COMING TO PULLMAN
Harry &. Cranlxe VIII Locate i'm This
City in the Near Future-Has
Many Sales Listed

Harry c. Cranke, who has made a
reputation all over the Pacific North
est as a successful auctioneer, has
decided to leave Nezperce, Idaho,
where he is now located, and will
make his home in Pullman. He was
induced to make the change because
of the more central location of Pull
man in the territory which he serves,
for he does not confine his work to
the locality where he resides, but
conducts sales all over the North
west. His list of sales already dated,
which is published in another col
ann, indicates the wide extent of his
acquaintance and the volume of his
business.
He received his training as an auc-
tioneer of live stock in Scotland, and
during the four years he has pursued
his calling in the Northwest has
made such a notable success that his
services are in demand for nearly
every large sale of live stock held in
this state or Idaho Mr.. Cranke is
a genuine booster for any commun-
ity in which he resides and will give
Pullman some valuable advertising
after he locates here

PICKETT ADVOCATES
NATIONAL REGISTRATION
Pullman Man Presents Plan for Co.,
arating Disloyal Persons From
Ranks of Loyalists

A comprehensive plan for the sep.
regation of the loyal citizens of thu
United States and the disloyal per.
sons who are residents of this conn.
try was unfolded before the chamhar
of commerce at it's meeting last Tues.
day by Sergeant w. N. Pickett, arm.
orer of the State College corps Of
cadets and retired army officer
Sergeant Pickett proposes the req.
istration of every rIrson over IL
years of age in the United States and
his plan includes the taking of an
oath of allegiance to the country bv
every person who desires to continue
his residence here. Every lodge
every fraternal organization of any
kind, requires its members to take
an obligation of loyalty to that or.
ganizatiOn," he said, yet here in the
United States, even at a time when
disloyalty may cost many lives and
millions of dollars, persons are per-
mttted to accept of the protection of
the Union and take advantage of the
benefits it offers without even bind
ing themselves by oath or otherwise
to remain loyal"
Sergeant Pickett upbraided con-
gross for its alleged dereliction in
many national affairs of consequence.
vouchng the belief that the Senator
LaFollette investigation will never
go further than it has already gone,
he alleging that the other members
of the national body are fearful of
their own hides in case a rumpus is
stirred up in this instance.
Sergeant Pickett asked action by
the chamber on his plans and the
matter was referred to the national
defense committee Of that organiza-
ton for consideration.

President f. o. Holland, to whom the
patriotic loaf, adorned with the Stars
and Stripes, was presented by Vice

The reception itself, given for the
students of the short course in agri-
culture and home economics and the
ladies who attended "Housekeepers"
week, was one of the greatest sue,
cesses of the college year. Settled
farmers and staid housekeepers,
many of whom had not romped for
years, cavorted around the big gym
nasium like youngsters as they
danced the different folk and play
dances under the direction of Miss
SWezey, fitting close to a week of
intensive study and brain activity.
Childhood games or all kinds were
directed by Miss Swezey, and so
thoroughly did the visiting farmers

MUST HELP MEN
SOLVE FARM HELP PROBLEM

Appeals are now being made on
every hand for greater food produc-
ton, for the speeding up of agrcul-
ture. To do this requires a maxi
mum amount of power, and man
labor used with utmost efficiency.
The power required for agriculture
this year will be greater than ever
before, because of increased acreage
and more thorough tillage methods.
Instead Of the animal power devel-
oping to meet the increased demand
for agricultural work, large num-
bers of work animals are being used
by the armies of the allies. The
labor situation, serious as it was last
year, will be more acute this season.
The tractor is expected to fill the
gap by helping the horses on their
job, and enabling each available man
to accomplish more work than be-
fore. If tractors are to meet the
needs of the country they must be in
the hands of competent operators.
The farmers must depend only upon
themselves and members of their
families to handle their tractors. If
any machine, and especially the
tractor, is to be operated success
fully, the man in charge must have
a complete understanding of its con-
struction, care, and adjustment.
The men who wish to learn to OPP
crate tractors this year have the OPP
portunity of attending the three
weeks gas engineering short course.
beginning February IS at the State
College of Washington. Here they
can get practical work on farm gas
engines, gas tractors, and motor
trucks At least y different makes
of gas tractors will be used for dem
onstration purposes, also number
of motor trucks and farm gas en-
gines. The tuition will be only So,
merely enough to cover the Incl
dental expenses of the course.

ricultural engineering, State College

WHITMAN COUNTY
BANKERS ORGANIZE

The bankers of Whitman county
formed an organization similar to the
State Bankers association in Colfax
Tuesday. A majority of the banks
were represented and a good meeting
held. f. J. Wilmer. president of the
Whitman County National bank of
Rosalia, was elected president. NJ
A. Sherman of the Bank of Endicott
was elected vice president, and a. R.
Metz of the Pullman State bank was
elected secretary-treasurer.
The object of the organization is
to promote more friendly feelings
and better cooperation between the
various banks of Whitman county
The bankers of the state have an or
ganization that meets annually and
is doing much good toward getting
better cooperative methods among
the bankers of the state.
Next month there will be another
call for a Liberty Loan and the new
organization will be enabled to han
die it better than if each bank
worked separately. The banks will
have to carry heavy load until the
close of the war and it will require
united action to take care of the vast
credit system that will be necessary
to finance the putting in and caring
for the big grain crop that the gov
eminent wants this year. Palouser.
