Exclusive Agencies
Cost You Money

Probably you are a man who believes In
getting full value for every dollar. Ii so,
you want to know some OF the facts about
exclusive agencies.
Exclusive dealers have no competition on
the brands of roofing they sell, and some
of them charge any price the purchaser
will stand. Then, too, they generally
charge more for the roofing they sell, be-
cause they usually have to ship their roof
ing from long distance and therefore
buy under greater handicaps.
Now you know that unnecessary stocks
boost the cost of doing business. Figure
it out for youTself-interest on the money
invested-storage cost-insurance against
loss by FIRE, theft and other causes.
1t all costs money. And naturally you,
the buyer, pay this added cost.
Certain-teed cannot see this way OF doing
business. ANY responsible dealer can sell
Certain-teed.
Certain-teed Way Saves Money
He carries only the stock he needs and
keeps it filed by frequent orders from a
nearby Certain-teed warehouse or jobber.
He pays the same price per roll whether
he buys one roll or thousand.
This saves him money. And naturally
YOU benefit as well as he.
In Certain-teed you get the highest
quality roofing. It has never been known
to wear out on the roof. 1t is guaranteed
for s, 10 or Is years, according to weight.
1t is weather-proof, hre-retarding and
spark-proof.
Any reliable dealer can get Certain-teed
for you quickly from a nearby Certain
teed warehouse or jobber. He gets it
when he wants it and he gets what he
wants. He can afford to sell you at fair
price. -

flock, that she was not a thing OF
beauty. No plump rounded lines or
calm "biddy" look about that bird.
She was almost scrawney, her head
was up and her eye meant business.
Her look said that she was after the
early worm and she intended to get it.
Look your flock over and see how
many Of your birds look the same
way. There is only one way to have
them look like that and that is to
persuade them to work. There is only
one thing for which a hen will work
and that is food.
When they get off the roosts in the
morning do they stand around on one
foot and wait for you to hand them a
breakfast? If they do you are to
blame. Get straw or other litter and
make them dig for their breakfast

CLEMENS WAS RIGHT AT THAT

Mark Twain was firm believer in
advertising. In an after dinner speech
one time he told the following anec-
dote:
When l was editing the Virginia
City Enterprise, l tried in many ways
to drive home the fact that advertis-
ing pays. One day l received letter
from a subscriber saying he had found
spider pressed between the pages of
his paper. He wanted to know wheth-
err this signified good or bad luck.
replied to him through our Answers
to Correspondents column as follows:
"'Old Subscriber-The finding of a
spider in your copy of the Enterprise
was neither good luck nor bad The
spider was merely looking over our
pages to find out what merchant was
not advertising in them, SO that he
could spin his web across his door
and lead free and undisturbed exist
ence forever after"

sugar, which is a coarse grained rath-

The next largest shipment of grain

scratch the deeper the grain will get
and the more they will work. And the
more they work the hungrier they will
get and the thirstier.
An egg is largely water anyhow and
a good healthy working hen will drink
plenty of good clean water-keep it
fresh. From the water basin she will
turn to the dry feed trough with its
egg producing materials-ground oats,
bran, middlings, corn meal and meat
scrap in about equal proportions.
Keep a hen healthy and she drinks
water. Keep her drinking water and
she eats egg making material. And
on top of that a healthy hen has a
healthy curiosity and she is always
going back to the bottom OF that pile
of straw or litter for just one more
grain OF wheat or corn that she imag-
ines she missed when she went over
it the first time. Feed about pound
of scratch food to every twenty-five
hens in the morning and double the
amount just before they go to roost
at night. At least once week see
that they get green stuff, sprouted
oats, mangel beets or other green feed
that you have found satisfactory. And
don't forget the shell and charcoal.
A handsome hen is all right for the
table, but fat hen is a loafer, while
a hardworking hen is usually layer.

Test Plots of King County
Farm Bureau, Near Redmond,
Demonstrates the Value of Fer

Results of fertilizer on bottom land
are showing up on the ranch of Paul
Carlson, project leader of the Red
mond district of the King County
Farm Bureau, where five plots were
planted last spring to clover with oats,
wheat and vetch as nurse crop. Four
kinds of fertilizer were used with one
plot left for checking. Lime, manure,
nitrate of soda and superphosphate
were used, the chemical fertilizers be-
ing narrowed in after blowing in the
spring and the barnyard manure plow-
ed in the fall before and left to stand
all winter. Number of Shocks

and 300 pounds of superphosphate.
While the results of this treatment
are apparent from the figures the ben
efits to the crop of clover which has
not been harvested are equally ap-
parent in the field. This is particu-
larry true in the cases of the plots
where manure and sodium nitrate
were used. A. B. Nystrom, county
agricultural agent, is particularly
pleased with the demonstration as he
has been conducting a quiet campaign
to get the farmers to use all of the
barnyard manure they could get.

rows. Planting should be done early
in April, although some growers re-
port success from planting later in
the spring.
Some growers plant cabbages, or
beets, or other quick maturing crops
with the horseradish shoots and make
the field pay double as the cultivating
for one crop does for both and the
beets. or whatever it is, are out Of the
road long before time to harvest the
roots. 1t is best to rotate the crops
in the case of horseradish to eliminate
it from year to year from the ground
because it quickly becomes a weed
where left to run and it is almost i'm
possible to get rid Of it.
Sell Before Planting
While the market has received a
sudden impetus from the rise in
freight rates it would be better for the
grower to make at least tentative ar
rangements with some grinder or
pickle man to handle his crop before
he goes into he~horseradish business
too extensively. In that way the mar
ket will be kept stable and no one
will be left with a white elephant on
his hands. The roots may be stored
in a cool place for marketing during
the winter, or they may be marketed
from the field. Often it is possible
to obtain several years contract from
a manufacturer of bottled grated horse
radish and there are cases where grow
ers have done their own grating and
bottling and worked up their own line
of customers.

HORSE RADISH UP
MARKET ACTIVE
RAISE IN FREIGHT RATES
SHIFTS DEMANDS FROM
ST. LOUIS TO PACIFIC
COAST STATES
Roots Can Be Grown Here About
Three and a Half Tons to the
Acre. Methods of One Grower
Outlined.

The ramifications Of a raise in the
cost of shipping freight are hard to
follow. One of them has cropped out
recently in an unusual place: the price
of horseradish.
For a great many years the horse
radish of this section has been shipped
in from the Mississippi valley, mostly
from around St. Louis. 1t is the claim
of the pickle manufacturers and the
horseradish grinders that the product
of the middle west is stronger than
that grown here on the coast, one
pound Of the shipped-in product hav-
ing the same strength as a pound and
a half grown here on sandy land or
two pounds grown in bottom land.
For this reason the foreign product
has led in the coast markets. Now
comes the raise in freight rates and a
new price for the local article.
More Tears Here
Strange to say, the product grown
in Washington is better-or stronger
than that grown in Oregon or Cali
fornia. Up to the present raise the
price of horseradish here has been
around four cents a pound Now it is
better than ten cents pound. An acre
will product around three and one-half
tons, some land will do better and
some not as we'll as that.
John L. Stahl, horticulturist of the
Western Washington Experiment Sta
ton, has field of horseradish which
to the acre giving him a gross profit
of about $4,000 on his two acres. He
will harvest it in late November or De-
cember after the tops have been well
frosted off. He harvests it with a
pillow, having men follow the pillow and
throw the roots into winrows to pick
up with a wagon. The roots are then
gathered in shed where the men can
work on them in their spare time dur
ing weather that is too wet for them
to work in the field. Every root has
a number OF whips running from fif-
teen to thirty-six inches long and he
has them trimmed of and saved for
planting in another year.
sprout From Roots
These whips Mr.. Stahl cuts up into
pieces about nine inches long for
the following year. The top Of the
sprouts he cuts square to identify the
top of the plant and the lower end he
cuts obliquely. The soil should be
plowed as deep as possible and work
ed fine before planting the cuttings.
In loose soil two or three inches OF
soil should be left on top of the cut
ting which may be set in a plowed
furrow or with dibble. Rows should
be about three feet apart and the roots
fifteen to eighteen inches apart in the
