EXTENSION WORK IN
LANDSCAPE ESTABLISHED
Rural Communities May Secure Free
Expert Aid

A. M. Doerner, Assistant Professor
of Landscape Gardening and Flori-
culture in cooperation with the Elk
tension Service has started a cam
paign among the people of the State
especially in the rural districts, to
arouse interest in landscape improve
ment. In order that this campaign
may have a practical as well as an
educational value, any rural commu-
nifty may, through the office of the
County Agricultural Agent, obtain this
service to help solve their problems.
The proper time to take the prelim-
mary steps for such work is during
the summer or early winter, as this
leaves ample opportunity for plans
and specifications to be prepared and
materials ordered from the nursery
before planting time next spring.
Since TINS work was started six
months ago Mr.. Doerner, on two trips
over the State, has worked on wide
variety of problems; among them
were two rural community houses, six
rural schools, ten small parks, and a
number of auto camping grounds, pic
mic grounds, athletic fields and fair
grounds.
Any public organization wishing to
share in this service during 1921
should make application through the
Agricultural Agent of the county in
which it is located before the first of
the year.

FARMERS TO GATHER
HERE JULY SEVENTH
Summer Wheat Convention viii
Bring Visitors From All Parts
of Inland Empire

The second annual summer SEES
sion of the Washington Grain Grow
ers, Shippers and Millers association
is scheduled to be held here on
ednesday, July Z, according to the
announcement made by Secretary e.
G. Schafer.
The holding of this session on the
date named amounts to a permanent
departure from the custom of many
years, in accordance with which the
growers, shippers and millers have
met here only in the winter. The
first summer wheat convention was
held here year ago, it being
thought that the visiting wheat men
would have better opportunity to
pick up information from the ex-
pertinent station farm here in sum-
mer than in winter when the expert
ments were held up by winter freez-
ing
The summer session of a year ago
was deemed so satisfactory to the
wheat men that at the annual three
day wheat convention held here last
January, it was voted to make the
summer session permanent as an adj
iourned meeting of the regular win
ter session to be held annually in
Pullman during January
The experiments on the state
farm which will be at their best in
point Of suggestive appearance on
July Z when the visiting wheat men
will be here include the cereal
nursery which contains in rows al
most every known variety of grain;
the forage nursery" containing
many varieties of alfalfa and clover;
and the one-twentieth acre crop ro-
tation plots with different crops
growing side by side to show the eff
feet Of different cropping systems
Other experiments which will be on
display for the lesson they convey in
clude different varieties of farm
I crops; fall wheat sown at different
dates; and plots representing differ
ent types of soil fertility, and the use
of different cultural methods in
planting, preparation of ground, and
so on.
THE men at the experiment sta
ton are anxious for farmers in the
state to visit the farm, see what is
being done there, and give their help
in fastening the use of better meth
eds that are discovered through ax-
perimentation," says Secretary
Schafer. Circular letters are being
sent out urging wheat-growers to at
tend, and we wish particularly to
urge automobile excursions from
the wheat centers of eastern Wash
ington. Most of the wheat centers
are within an easy drive of Pullman
and we are arranging the program SC
that the visitors can come in and

Eldon JENNIE, the Pullman pole
vaulter, has "A cinch on the Olympic
team unless a breaks a leg at Bos-
ton, according to Athletic Director j.
f. Boiler, who returned Wednesday,
while Charles ('Jit") Smith is prac-
tically assured of selection for the
long run events. In the 5000-meter
race at Pasadena Smith ran second
to Hunter, unattached, Smiths time
being 4 minutes SO seconds, or al
most a full minute better than the
winning time at the Chicago and
Philadelphia meets, held the same
day. Hunter was a dark horse en-
trant and his ability was misjudged
by Smith, who trailed him the entire
distance, finishing IA second behind.
1t is interesting to note that Smith )
time for second place was better than
any previous record hung up by an
American for the event, Hunter es-
tablishing a new American record.
After the hard grind in the 5000
meter race, or over three miles,
Smith entered the 10,000-meter
event and again took second place,
Churchill, Olympic club, grabbing
first In the second event Smith
took things easy and finished strong
His time was "a minutes, 1875 sec
onds. The stands were with the
Pullman man in both races, and as
he sprinted the finish in the six miles
event Smith was accorded an ovation
that was one of the features of the
meet
Eldon JENNIE, after coping first
place in the pole vault at II feet 6
inches in easy fashion, missed a
worlds record at IS feet 4 inches by
an eyelash, according to Director
Boiler Jenne crossed the bar sue
cessfully, but tipped it with his toe
as he came down and the stick wrig-
gled a second and fell. Believing
that he had made the leap the stands
arose en- masse to cheer a new
worlds champion, but the cheers
changed to groans when the stick fell
to the ground.
Both Jenne and Smith will return
to Pullman Sunday and will train on
the State College oval under Director
Boiler until Thursday or Friday,
when they will start for Boston.
They will be accompanied on the
eastern trip by Pope, the Washing
ton University discus man.
''Jenne will make his worlds rec
ord yet" said Director Boiler.
Twice he has missed by an eyelash.
With little break of luck at Boston
or in the Olympic meet itself he will
return to the State College a world S
champion.

WHEN THE COLUMBIA
BASIN is IRRIGATED
An Empire of Homes VIII Supplant
the Desert

When sheep and cattle ranged at
will over the great basin of the Col
umbia, there was little thot in the
minds of the herdsmen of an empire
of homes, villages and cities where
the sage brush and bunch grass grew
Some there were perhaps even then
who may have looked into the future
and dreamt of transformation of
deserts into rich fields, and grazing
lands into verdant pastures, trans
formation to be accomplished thru the
mighty touch of waters.
Those who saw the vision may have
beheld $4,000 farms where then there
were none-50, 1000 farm homes and
100000 men and women, boys and
girls living and working in the open
country and adding to the wealth of
of the state thru their labor and
natures abundance. Add to this an
other 10000 to 100000 in the vii
lagos and cities there located and
serving the mighty industry in the
country and the vision is even more
complete.
Vast and Rapid Growth Foreseen
But the imagination of the best
of them could hardly have foreseen
the net work of hard surfaced roads
covered with teams, trucks and autos
busy hauling the products of the soil
and the results of industry to and
from the markets, motor cars on
pleasure bent or landing fields with
aeroplanes rising and alighting car
rying their burdens of passengers and
mail Nor could they perhaps have
imagined fully the homes, grove sur
rounded. avenues of trees along
bitches and canals, the community
cnufch and the community play
house, all of which are possible, are
rapidly coming and indeed are real
lied in some measure in some parts
of irrigated Washington today.
These visions, some of which the
herdsmen may have seen, together
with many yet unseen, will be real
tiles when the Columbia Basin Pro-
ject, now in its beginnings, becomes
an established fact.
The opportunity for shaping so
mighty work is ours. It should be
a stimulus for all of us in Wash
ington and indeed in the entire north
west to lend every effort to build in
this charging empire country and
civilization unequalled.
