BISON UPSET ALL TRADITIONS
Yellowstone Park Herd Multiply Rap
idly In Captivity-Reverse
Problem.

Yellowstone Park, Wyo-The prob
lem of the buffalo has reversed itself.
A few years ago the monarch of the
plains was the chief figure in the dra-
ma Of dying species. The problem
today is how TO feed and take care of
rapidly multiplying herds.
Yellowstone provides huge hay
ranch to feed the buffalo, when winter
SHOWS have covered grazing pastures.
But so rapidly is the park herd grow
ing that this ranch soon will provide
insufficient food.
This question now is being taken
back to Washington by Edward G. Fin
ney, first assistant secretary of the in
terror, under whose supervision the ma
tional parks come. Mr.. Finney has
completed an inspection here.

EXPERIMENT STATION WHEAT
is MAKING GOOD RECORD

'Wheat's wheat doesn't go any
more, for there is wheat and
wheat" This is especially true of
Hybrid 12S, which is we'll adapted
to certain sections in Eastern Wash
ington, according TO Leonard Heg-
nauer, extension specialist of the
State College.
Hybrid 1913 was originated by the
Washington experiment station in
1893, and through care and selec-
ton, its varietal characteristics have
become firmly fixed and established
This variety is a cross between two
other wheats, Little Club and Jones
Winter Fife, two well known varie-
ties both quite popular in their day.
The good characteristics of both par
ents have been combined in this
wheat. 1t grades as white club on
the market and is fayorably known
as market wheat in the sections to
which it is suited. 1t is best adapt
ed to the Palouse country and such
other sections as have similar soil
and climatic conditions.

NATIONAL GUARD
MOVEMENT IN =. II. S.

The national guard movement in
Pullman high school has been a big
success and 80 or more boys of P
II. S. have enlisted in the local rifle
unit. The national guard movement
is popular among the high school
boys for various reasons, but prob
ably the two most prominent reasons
were, first, because it will excues
them from taking r. O. T. c. drill,
work at the State College, and sec
ondly, because of the two-week en-
campment trip to the coast this sum

man and Spokane, by defeating Che
welah in the final game of the tour
nament, 1918. The tournament was
held at the Cheney Normal school,
March 4 and 5.
Pullman drew Palouse for the
first game and real battle took
place between two of the strongest
teams in the meet. Palouse out
played Pullman in the first half and
led for that period, due to the ac-
curate shooting of their star for
ward, Miller With eight minutes
left to play aud handicap of IL
points, Pullman staged a rally which
won the game for them 1925.

had been picked as the best loser the
day before. Pullman led throughout
the game, but Sears, Chewelah's star
guard, dropped in three hard shots
ana Chewelah forged ahead of the
Pullman squad aod ncsed out Is
81 victory. Sears CT Chcwelah and
McKarcher of Pullman were the
stars of the match, making / 6 points
each. This put Pullman out of the
running for the championship. An
other thriller in the semi-finals was
the game between Cheney and Ritz
Vile, which Cheney won 1924.
Three extra five-minute periods of
overtime were required before Che
ney had the game safely tucked
away
AS a result of the semi-finals,
Cheney and Chewelah were left to
play for the finals Saturday night.

two other we'll known and popular
varieties with which it comes in COM
petition-namely, Red Russian and
Forty Fold, shows in a seven year
field test at the experiment station,
that it averaged 444 bushels per acre
as against 36.S bushels for Red Rus
sian and 800 bushels for Forty Fold.
Hybrid 12S is strictly winter
variety and is hardy and quite drouth
resistant, though it will not resist dry
weather as well as Turkey Red. In
the date of seeding test, run for four
years, that seeded on September 1st
proved to give best results.
Some growers believe that Hybrid
12S is rather subject to smut. While
the variety does show a weakness in
this direction, it is possible by care
full seed treatment and good care to
reduce the amount of smut to the
point where it is almost negligible.

THE BLUE AND GRAY
Words by Marian Schroeder

Words by Marian Schroeder
Tune, Orange and the Black
Although Moscow always favors
The roses red and white,
And the blue and gold of Colfax
Has always made us fight,
We will always love our high school
All teams and schools well play
For our gang stands ever ready
To defend the blue and gray.
When we leave old Pullman High
School,
We say a fond farewell
And to all we boast her glory
And her fame and honor tell
Undefeated she is standing,
And victory with her stays
While she upholds the fame and
honor
For Pullman High and blue and gray.
