ENDICOTT'S CLAIMS GET
SOLAR PLEXUS BLOW
Star Halfback Declared Ineligible,
and Pullman Gets Undisputed
Football Championship

! Endicott high schools claim for
the football championship of Whit
man county went glimmering when
the athletic committee of the County
Principals association, in session
last Saturday at Colfax, declared
their star halfback, Charles Sweet,
ineligible and ordered the forfeiture
of all of Endicott's games during the
past season. The athletic committee
found that Sweet had been granted a
diploma from Winona high school,
hence was ineligible to compete in
games played under the rules of the
state high school association.
Since the close of the season En-
dicott has claimed the football cham
pionship of Whitman county, but the
claim was not considered seriously
by other high schools of the county
and Pullman's claim to the title has
now been made undisputed by the
athletic committee of the principals
association Endicott won two or
three games from inferior teams by
large scores and on these scores
based their claim. Pullman defeated
Colfax by a much larger score than
Endicott did and had an unbroken
string of victories. An attempt by
Coach Gaiser to schedule a game
with Endicott early in the season was
unsuccessful, hence the two teams
did not meet.
Pullman now holds the undisputed
football championship of Whitman
and Asotin counties in Washington
and Latah county in Idaho.

MRS. LAURA GENTRY
REFUSED A DIVORCE

Mrs. Laura r. Gentry was refused
divorce from Grover G. Gentry in
superior court at Colfax Monday.
Judge Chester F. Miller of Dayton
occupied the bench and at the con-
clusion of the testimony refused to
grant the divorce because of failure
of the plaintiff to prove her conten-
tions. The case was brought on
grounds of alleged cruel and in
human treatment and failure to pro-
vide and several witnesses were
called both by the plaintiff and the
defendant. The three-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Gentry is
said to have been one of the chief
factors in the considerations of the
court. Attorneys Dow & Dow APP
peared for Mr.. Gentry while M. S.
lamar was counsel for the plaintiff.
Mrs. Gentry left at the close of the
trial for Seattle, where she is now
located, while Mr.. Gentry returned
to Pullman. He expects soon to go
to Arizona to locate.

FARMERS WANT STOCK
PENS AT CHAMBERS

A petition of S. II. Breeze and 9TH
err stock raisers,of the Pullman yicin-
ity for the installation by the North
ern Pacific Railway company of a
loading pen for stock at Chambers
station, southeast of Pullman, has
| been referred by w J. Jordan, gen
eral freight and passenger agent, to
the traffic officials, Mr.. Jordan
recommends to the higher officials
that a two-pen yard be installed at
Chambers in time to handle the
stock shipments next summer. Lo-
cal stock raisers complain that it is
next to impossible to drive stock
through Pullman, due to the paved
streets and heavy traffic, and state
that it is imperative that loading ia
cilities be provided at some nearby
station. In case the request for load
ing pens at Chambers is not granted
by the Northern Pacific, the O.-W. r.
& n. company will be asked to in
stall pens at Armstrong station, just
west Of Pullman.

IMPROVEMENT OF SOIL
IN ARID FRUIT DISTRICTS

Five important points in a pro-
gram OF orchard soil improvement.
brought out in a new bulletin lust
published by the State College of
Washington experiment station on
Orchard Soil Management and Fer
tilization,' are:
l. Where immediate results are
desirable, they may be secured from
the use of quickly available nitrogen
fertilizers.
2 The use of barnyard manure
when obtainable is desirable for the
fertilization value contained for gen.
eral soil Improvement, and for aid in
the irrigation of compact soil areas
where it is difficult to get the irri-
cation water to penetrate
3. The establishment of a legume
cover-crop is very important in
program of permanent soil improve
ment.
4 In proper handling of a cover
crop there is little or no disking and
no cutting of hay.
5 Irrigation should be thorough
and regular.
These conclusions are the results
Of investigations made in Chelan
county, begun in 1919 by the expert
ment station and continued since
through the cooperation of the grow
ers and the county commissioners,
who furnished the necessary funds
and sections of their orchards for ex-
perimental purposes. While the bull
letin reports work in that one county,
Director Johnson of the station says
he believes the results and recon-
mendations are applicable to most of
the orchard lands in irrigated sec
tions of the state.
Prof O. NJ. Morris, head of the
department of horticulture OF the
college, and Roy Larsen, soils spe-
cialist of Chelan county, collaborat-
ed in the preparation of the bulletin.
1t points out the necessary elements
for plant growth, the source of nitro
gen, phosphorus and potassium, and
the value of soil analysis. Detailed
analysis of Wenatchee soils is given,
showing what plant food elements
are found in the top ten inches of a
typical acre. 1t also gives careful
crop analysis as a basis for fertiliza-
ton, and reports the results of va
rious experiments.
Those who wish copy of the bull
letin for further information may
write for Popular Bulletin No. III
Experiment Station, Pullman.
