Northwest for practical discussion and
demonstration of methods of prepar-

The first day will be given over to a
talk fest when men who have actually
swung a grub hoe, or set off blasting

much it cost and how good the land
was when they got through in compe-
tition with others who have been
through the same mill and think they
did it a little better.
The second day the conference will
take to the brush and some of the men
who have been doing large part Of

Seeds Planted Fort Vancouver About 1926 Started
Bellflower That Has Provided Fruit For Several
Generations And Is Still Vigorous.

But such early pioneers as Michael
Troutman, who started the settlement
at Tumwater; George Bush, the negro
after whom Bush prairie was named;
and David Kindred were not to be
turned aside by the proctor and turn
ing their course under the shadow of
that tree came north to settle what
is now known to all the world as one
of the greatest sections of the con-
tinent.
1t was to the protecting shadow of
that same tree that the survivors of
the massacre at Whitman's Mission
fled when the Indians in the big sec
ton known as the Columbia basin
went ON the war path. And it was to
the shadow of the same tree that the
young men of the northwest went to
get their artillery training which was
to help them in driving the Hun from
his last drive into western civiliza-
ton.
Today the Importance of that tree
is recognized by the state horticultural
society so that they have a special
committee under whose direction the
preservation of the tree is carried on
The members of that committee are
R. T. Reid, of Bellevue; A. A. Quarns-
berg, Vancouver, and c. A. Carter of
Camas. The tree, which is a seeding
of apparently the Bellflower family,
was badly broken down about four
years ago in a sleet storm and this
committee is looking after it to get it
bearing again. 1t had a fine start of
new growth and will begin producing
apples again next summer.

ORGANIZE TO HELP
RAISE PURE SEED
KITTITAS COUNTY PURE
SEED GROWERS ASSOCIA-
TON FORMED IN
ELLENSBURG
Members to Plant Seed Plot Each
Year. Increase Yield Sixteen
Bushels to the Acre.

The Kittitas County Pure Seed
Growers Association was formed Oc-
tober 20 with twelve charter members
for the purpose of producing better
seed and advancing the interests of
seed growers. l.. T. Wilson, OF Ell
lensburg, was elected temporary presi-
dent, and w. l.. Davis, county agricul-
tural agent, was elected temporary
secretary.
This association is the outgrowth
of an importation of certified Dicklow
seed wheat from Jerome County, Ida
no, about a year ago. The twelve
members who joined the association,
have, at the present time, about nine
or ten thousand bushels of certified
seed wheat of this variety. Dicklow
wheat grown by the members of the
association under exactly the same
conditions as other varieties gave an
average yield this year of sixteen
bushels per acre more than any other
variety. Several yields of sixty-five
bushels per acre, few of seventy-five
and two of eighty bushels were OBJ
tanned.
Each member of the association will
pledge himself to annually grow a
seed plot for the production of pure
seed. The seed to be planted in this
seed plot must be hand selected; by
hand selected is meant clean seed of
a standard variety obtained from
plants which are uniform in character
and which have been selected by hand
and which are vigorous and normally
developed.
Seed from the seed plot may be
planted in an increase plot which must
be either summer fallow ground or
ground that has grown some other
crop the year previous. All seed must
be inspected and passed on by the
Farm Crops Department of the State
College of Washington before it can
be either pedigreed or certified.
Members of the association will CO.
operate in advertising and selling
their products. This year the price
on certified seed cleaned and sacked
will be So per bushel until January /
and 1926 per bushel between January
l and March 1.

planning to come to the northwest to
join a Hudson Bay post and before
they left London they were given a
party by their friends. Young ladies'
at the party, by way OF creating a di-
version, slipped the seeds from ap-
pies the party was eating into the
pockets of their waistcoats. After
wards when the men were at Van
couver and were going through their
clothing they found the seeds and
planted them.
The First Apple
The two stories do not greatly con-
fict as to detail and bear out the
early history of the tree. 1t is re-
corded that when the first apple was
ripe it was picked by Dr.. Mclaughlin
who carefully divided it into seven
teen slices, one for each member of
party present at his table. The next
year the tree bore twenty apples and
still gives to the Vancouver people a
reminder of those early days in it's fall
crop.
Many happenings of historical ma
ture have come and gone under its
branches. 1t was to Vancouver that
all of the early settlers of this section
first made their way and it was there
that this same DR.. Mclaughlin tried
to dissuade settlers from coming to
the Sound country to the north. 1t
was his belief that if he could send
them to the Willamette and other val
lleys in Oregon and keep the men of
English sympathies up the Sound
country that it could eventually be
saved to the British flag.

The oldest living pioneer in the Pa
cific Northwest is still active in spite
of the years that have passed since
its coming here sometime about 1926,
and that pioneer-as BELTS the state
which comes so near being an apple
commonwealth-isa an apple tree grow
ing on the north bank of the Columbia
river at Vancouver. Historical in its
primacy, the old tree has seen Won
derful changes in it's day and the chill
dren of three races and several gem
erations have been refreshed by its
fruit.
The first reference to the tree found
in any of the historical documents of
the northwest is in the diary of Mrs.
Narcisso Whitman, that sterling wo-
man who followed Marcus Whitman
across the plains and was sacrificed by
the Indians in the terrible Whitman
massacre in 1S47. Mrs. Whitman stay

husband cruised the Walla Walla
country looking for the best place to
