PIONEER GRAIN MAN
RET|RES FROM FIELD
4
Mayor n. E. j. Gentry Bought Seven
Million Bushels of Pullman
Wheat in Thirty-Five Years

After So years of continuous serv-
ice as grain buyer in this city,
Mayor n. E. j. Gentry retired from
that business this week when he
turned over the local office of the
Clifford company to his success
sor, A. B. Bollings, recently from
Colfax. Mr.. Gentry came to Pullman
from Missouri in 1884 and at once
entered the grain buying game, buy
ing for Chambers G Mcconnell, a
pioneer firm of this city, for seven
years. He then accepted a position
as manager of the Farmers Alliance
warehouse at Whelan, just north OF
Pullman, serving in that capacity for
seven or eight years and then taking
the management of the local office
of the Puget Sound company. Five
years ago he transferred to the Kerr
Clifford company, submitting his
resignation a few weeks ago to re-
tire from active connection with the
grain business.
During his 35 years as a grain
buyer Mayor Gentry has purchased
some seven million bushels of Pull
man wheat, estimating his yearly
purchases at 100000 bushels. He
came to Pullman when the city
claimed only hundred inhabitants.
The lowest price he ever paid for
wheat was ) cents per bushel, that
price obtaining in 1898, when this
community suffered the hardest
times Of its career The top figure
was $272, paid last year. For many
years the prices ranged from so cents
to 70 cents per bushel.
In 1894 and 1895 he sold new
sacks to his customers at 4 p cents
each, while the price in 1918 reached
the high water mark of 80 cents.
Warehouse wages in 1888 and 1889
were $1.75 per day, while last fail
$500 per day was the prevailing
wage for warehouse hands.
Mr.. Gentry was placed in the
mayorality chair by the voters of
the city two years ago, fitting tri-
butte to the pioneer grain buyer, who
has been a potent factor in the de-
velopment of Pullman during the
entire third of century of her eX-
istence.

CITIZENS USE MORE WATER

That the citizens of Pullman are
taking full advantage OF the new
water rates offered by the water de-
partment of the city is indicated by
the increased pumping figures fur
nished by Water Commissioner Z.
NJ. Hooper. On Tuesday of this
week Mr.. Hooper pumped 5O0,4OO
gallons, or 100000 gallons more
than the reservoir holds. The re-
duced rates were granted by the city
in the belief that it would result in
the improvement of the lawns and
parking strips, through irrigation
and the pumping figures bear out
that belief.

INLAND EMPIRE FARMERS SEE
EXPERIMENTS ON COLLEGE FARM

in its endeavor to promote agricul
tural production.
Commissioner of Agriculture
Gloyd was then called upon and told
an interesting story of the work of
that department. He cited the fact
that five veterinarians in May had
tested 1904 dairy cattle for tuber-
culosis and that 1911 had reacted,
and expressed the hope that soon all
of the dairy cattle of the state will
have been tested and the state freed
of this disease.
The morning excursion was start
ed with a trip to the dairy barns,
where Sc cattle are being cared for,
30 of which are now being MIXED
% being on test. Milking machines
are used for all the COWS. The
breeds represented in the dairy herd
are Holstein, Jersey and AYRSHIRE.
Much interest conferred about the
Holstein heifer, Cascade Johanne De
Pauline II, presented to the college
by William Todd of Yakiman, as she
promises to be an exceptional pro-
Queer Here the methods of han
ding and feeding were explained in
detail and also the methods of han
ding the milk. The fact that the
cows are on sweet clover pasture
interested those in the dairy business
very much and information concern
ing the pasture were eagerly asked
The trip was continued to the live
stock barns, where the beef cattle
were inspected. The principal
breeds represented are Aberdeen An
gus, Hereford and Shorthorn. The
most interesting feature of the beef
cattle seemed to be the Aberdeen
Angus COW, Queen Mother. daughter
OF Queen of the West II. From this
COW the college is building up it's
herd and has already 10 female de-
scendants.
In the hog pens the Duroc Jersey
and Poland China breeds were cen
ters of attraction and the method of
handling and feeding them, as ex-
planned by the staff, brought forth
many favorable comments
The sheep caused much discussion,
owing to the present condition OF the
wool market, but all agreed that the
college flocks are fine examples of
their respective breeds, which are
the Hampshire, Shropshire and
Ramboulettes.
