SMUT TREATMENT
INCREASES YIELD
Method Recommended by Specialist
Brings $50, 10000 to
Farmers

Increasing the yield of wheat in
three counties by $3.50 bushels, is
a part of the work accomplished by
the county agents and plant disease
specialist of this state.
Three years ago George l.. Zundel,
extension plant disease specialist of
the State College. stared smut
demonstration in Franklin county to
eliminate seed injury in wheat. This
consisted of dipping the wheat, which
had been treated with formaldehyde
or blue stone, into a lime bath
Grain treated with either of these
solutions will not terminate so well,
because of seed injury caused by the
solution killing the germ. The lime
bath neutralizes the effect of the
treatment and causes a large per cent
OF termination which means more
wheat.
At a result of the demonstration
in Franklin county. this year $4,000
acres of treated seed were planted;
10000 acres in Columbia and 225,-
600 in Whitman. Placing a low esti-
mate on the increased amount Of
wheat obtained at one-fourth of a
bushel per acre, it would mean 49,
800 bushels for Franklin, $4,000
bushels for Columbia and $3.50
bushels for Whitman county or 49,
$50 bushels more wheat.
This increase in wheat, valued at
the rate of Y cents per bushel, the
present selling price of wheat, means
that this one service of the three
| county agents and the one extension
specialist was worth S60,300 to the
| farmers of these counties The work
was accomplished through the county
agents urging the farmers to use
the new lime bath treatment recon-
mended by Mr. Zundel

DONATING WHEAT FOR
NEAR EAST RELIEF
\. +. Sturges in Charge of Campaign
in Pullman, Reports That the
Farmers Are Giving Literally

\. T, Sturges of Spokane, who is
now engaged in securing donations
of wheat for the Near East Relief,
has gone about that work in a bust
ness-like way and is meeting with
great success, but says that it takes
craftsmanship of higher degree to get
the people to see as he sees, think
as he thinks and do as he would have
them do, than TO sell paint at the
present high prices.
AS Mr.. Sturges has had 20 years
experience as a travelling salesman,
selling all over the United States and
Canada. and five years at training
men for that work, he brings high
degree of efficiency to his present yo-
cation.
In speaking of his travels in the
Holy Land, in which he spent two
years, hiring out as an assistant
dragoman to take tourists about the
country, he says: Il slept in their
homes and ate with them when my
stomach would accept the bill of
fare No words will ever tell a story
approXimating the misery which
these people suffer as the results of
war and ignorance. 1t takes person
al observation and contact to reveal
their Wrptched condition
Being a pharmacist, | carried
drugs to doctor their eyes. Eye sore
ness, caused chiefly by bites of in
sects, is prevalent. Many regard it
a sin to brush away the insects.
Leprosy is everywhere. The Turks
come down and kill the parents and
big brothers and carry away the
young women. Those who refused
to renounce Christ and accept Mo-
manned were destroyed,
THE little children of five TO
10 years of age are left to do for
themselves or die. One sack of
wheat will keep life in one OF these
children for so days. Who could sell
one sack of wheat for a greater
price,
The committee is composed of Rev.
Reynolds, Dr. Spaulding, Rev c. n.
Curtis and S. Klemgard. Mr.,
Klemgard, who had charge of the
drive with the farmers, had out five
machines Tuesday and made a good
start towards the car, but the rain
has delayed the work temporarily
The plan for the campaign is that
these teams go out and solicit the
farmers for grain, and when they
have listed each one of them individ-
uaally for the number of sacks that
they are willing to give, then Rev
Curtis, who has charge of the city
end of the drive, will divide the town
off into sections, and ask the citizens
to furnish cash 10 buy wheat estimat-
ed at 81 a sack to equal the amount
that the farmers have donated 1t
requires about 500 sacks for the car
and it is their desire to have the
farmers give about one-half, or 900
sacks, and the citizens donate cash
to pay the other half of the car, or
800 sacks
Mr.. Sturges says that six sacks of
wheat will keep alive one of these
little orphans for an entire year. and
asks where you could get a greater
price for wheat than this. The
farmers, while feeling thir financial
conditions, have been very generous,
giving two, foGr and six sacks each.
One party of very generous nature
so far has donated 35 sacks. and 1t
has been intimated mat possibly 80
more from the same party will fol-
low.

BIRTHDAY
OF WHITMAN COUNTY
Was Celebrated With Banquet and
Fine Program at ColfaX Last
Tuesday Evening

The 50th anniversary of the Gre
alton of Whitman county was cele
brated by banquet and program at
the Pythian hall in Colfax Tuesday
evening. About $50 people were
present, the pioneers from outside
points being guests of the ColfaX
business men.
All present were enthusiastic in
their praise of the excellent menu
served by the Pythian Sisters, of the
interesting program rendered and of
the efficient management of the
whole affair. A large number of pio-
neers were present, among them nine
men and women who'were residents
of the county when it was organized
in 1871. These nine were the guests
of honor. George w. Case of St.
John, president of the county pio-
neers association, presided and, as
usual, made a decided hit by his pep
and ready wit
After two finely rendered selec-
tions by the community quartet of
| Colfax, Mayor O. c. CHASER gave a
brief address of welcome, in which he
expressed the gratitude of the pres
ent residents of the county to the
pioneers who developed its resources.
! Grandma Eldredge was given an oYa-
ton when she sang The Shaking of
the Hand
B. F. Manring read a very inter-
esting and valuable historical sketch
of the pioneer days of the county
which will be published in full in a
! future issue of The Herald.
VIM. Goodyear delivered an adj
dress in which he urged that the spot
by the old trail half a mile from the
point where the road to Hay
branches from the state highway,
where Anderson Cox "the father of
Whitman county" died in 1872,
should be marked in some suitable
way. He eulogized the pioneers,
briefly traced the record of the
county since 1883, and suggested
that it be beautified by the planting
of trees along the public roads and
around the farm homes and that the
social life be improved by the estab-
lishment of community centers in
each school district.
Among those who related interest
ing and amusing incidents of pioneer
days were Mrs. Rose McCroskey
Thomas Kennedy, one of the early
treasurers of the county; J. B. Holt
of Pullman, a pioneer of 1871;
Charles Johnson, Senator Oliver Hall,
John Butler of Pine City, Arthur Cox,
grandson of Anderson Cox; Ben Bur-
gunder, president of the Inland EN-
pire Pioneer association, who came to
the Colville valley in 1853; James s.
Taylor, Henry Chryst of Hay, Mrs
j. A. Perkins.
j. S. Klemgard of Pullman aroused
much enthusiasm when he offered to
start an endowment fund with sub
scription of 800, the proceeds OF the
fund to be used in marking points OF
historic interest in the county. The
meeting closed with the singing OF
America" by all present.

THREE VOICES"

After Gyp. the Giraffe. had swai.
lowed about half n bushel OF de-
lioious leaves. he started 10 change
'em around. Just as n COW does the
grass she has eaten, which is a
peculiar way OF doing: he'd snip the
leaves off the tree and swallow them
whole into one OF his tummies.
But tummies don't like things
swalloped whole. as we all know.
so Gyp did his tummy a favor by
rolling the leaves up his long throat
into his mouth again.
This time he chcwed and he
chewed and he chewed until the
leaves were nice and soft and just
right. Then he swallowed them a
second time and put them nicely
away into a second tummy.
While he was doing this. he heard
voices near. for altho n giraffe can
not talk nor make any kind Of a
sound. he can hear splendidly.
One voice said, Don't you love
