DAIRY SPECIALIST '
 HERE FUR SURVEY

R. D. Davis, dairy extension special ist of the University of Arizona, ar rived in Phoenix Wednesday morning and is making a study of local condi- tions with regard to dairying in the Salt river valley. He spent four days in Yuma studying similar conditions and is using his best endeavors to aid in building the industry on stable basis.
 MT. Davis recommends a plan of buy ing cows comparatively through the state farm bureau and in that manner securing the services of an expert in selecting the stock and also eliminat- ing middlemen's profits.
 "The necessity of restocking those farms which are going to dairying with high producing cows is an essential point" declared MT. Davis. He points to the fact that the average production per COW was reduced each year from 1913 to 1918 because of the purchase and bringing to this valley of poor producers, by use of inferior bulls and the lack of selection.

HERE
Will Meet Valley in TwO-Game Series
Sunday; Custer Team Coming for
Monday Game

Next Sunday at the Fair Grounds
Lynden and Valley will play double
header. This arrangement was agreed
to by the managers of the opposing
teams, when it was found necessary
to call the game off last Sunday on
account of wet grounds. The first
game will be called promptly at
100 p. m. and the second game will
start within fifteen minutes after the
conclusion of the first game. Only
one regular admission will be charg-
ed for the two contests.
Valley has added some new ma
terial to their team and have been
practicing regularly, so the game
Sunday should be very different from
the one they played here the first of
the season.
On Monday, July 4th, at 1000 a.
III. Lynden will play Custer at the
Fair Grounds as part of the Inde-
pendence Day celebration. This will
be a Nooksack Valley League game,
and should be close contest. Lyn-
den was defeated at Custer two weeks
ago to 2.
The only game played last Sunday
in the Nooksack Valley league was
at Custer. Deming was victorious

BIG CROWD ATTENDS
DAIRYMEN'S PICNIC
Ice-Cream Vanishes in Hundred Gal
lon Lots Before Onslaught OF Huge
Gathering

What is said to have been one Of
the largest gatherings of farmers ev-
er held in Whatcom County, was
seen in Lynden Saturday, when the
Whatcom County Dairymen's Associ-
alton held their annual picnic at the
Fair Grounds.
The Association served free ice
cream during the day, and the 100
gallons that had been brought to the
grounds melted away in few min
utes, and it was necessary to send a
hurry call for more, and till more
And when it came to the time for
the afternoon program, the big fair
grandstand was crowded to the roof.
Talks were made during the day
by President Berry and Secretary
Parks of the Fraser Valley Associa-
tion, Prof E. G. Woodward, head Of
the dairy division of the State Col
lege, John Kill of the United Dairy
Association, and Secretary George
NAPLES of the Fair Association.

COUNTY AGENT TELLS HOW TO
TREAT SEED BEST FOR SMUT

Would you believe that in treat
ing seed grain with formaldehyde one
loses from 4 " percent to As percent
of its termination power.
This fact was established through
demonstrations held this year in
Whatcom County in cooperation
with the State College and County
Agent, H. B. Carroll, Jr., yet far
mers cannot afford not to treat seed
for smut the loss might even be
greater.
The remedy by which this extreme
ly heavy loss may be prevented is
simple and inexpensive.
1t is safe to say that 80 percent of
the seed grain in Whatcom County
is treated with either formaldehyde
or blue vitrol and rightly it should
be. Some farmers dip their grain in
formaldehyde, while others use the
sprinkle method and treat it on the
barn floor or in a wagon box. Either
is good and should be continued.
In order to save the percentage of
termination and lessen the amount
of seed injury the following method
is recommended:
Treat the seed grain as you are
accustomed to, then slack one pound
of lime and add to this ten gallons
of water, then dip the grain in this
lime water solution for two min
utes after it has been treated with
formaldehyde or blue vitrol, allow to
dry and then drill the seed.
In Whatcom County, field investi-
cations made of grain treated with
formaldehyde plus the lime water So
luton show a more vigorous root
system, larger plants and a more
healthy appearance than seed grain
which was given the formaldehyde
dip or left untreated. The percent
Of termination of grain treated with
the lime water after Formalin treat
ment was also increased over grain
untreated or dipped in blue vitrol or
formaldehyde. The variation being
as high as As percent and as low as
AS percent.
One often hears the statement, Il
wonder why / get such a poor stand
of grain, ! put on plenty of seed"
This is all too true, but when the seed
injury is as high as As percent it is
no wonder that the stand looks badly.
The nine demonstrations held in
Whatcom County this year all gave
striking results in favor of using the
lime water solution, the average saw
ing being better than 10 percent.
Isn't this worth while saving on any
farm?

IIGH SCHOOL WON'T
CHARGE TUITION FEE
NJ
Outside Students Won't Have To Pay
For Time Here, Board Decides;
Grade Pupils Barred

The Lynden School Board Monday
evening affirmed its previous an
nouncement that no grade pupils
from outside the district would be
permitted to enter the Lynden
schools, and withdrew temporarily
its ruling to charge tuition to high
school students from outside the dis
trict.
An opinion from the attorney
general was received advising that
an act of the legislature passed in
January regarding elections makes
1t obligatory to hold the proposed
election on a union high school dis
trict in December, and not before.
The Board therefore felt it would
be an injustice to charge tuition be-
fore people have an opportunity to
pass on the question of whether they
shall join in a union high school dis
trict. 1t was decided to take high
school pupils from surrounding dis
tricts without tuition until such time
as the different districts can hold an
election to decide if they shall join
for high school purposes.
The board was asked to reconsid-
er the ruling barring grade pupils
from attending school here. 1t was
found that If outside grade pupils
are taken, another teacher would
have to be employed, and the grade
school would be overcrowded. The
board therefore stood by the former
ruling land no grade pupils from out
side districts can be taken.
The board appreciates the fact that
this will work hardship on a few,
but found conditions such that they
will have to stand by the former rul-
ing, as the financial condition of the
district does not warrant the en-
ployment of an extra teacher.

HOPE FOR LOWER RATE
FOR SHIPPING EGGS
Secretary of Interstate Commerce
Commission Replies to Local Pc
tition from POultrymen

Hopes for a reduction Of freight
rates on eggs and poultry to eastern
points are expressed by George B.
McGinty, secretary Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, in reply to
the petition of the Whatcom County
Egg and Poultry Association. Mr..
McGinty's statement, received this
week, outlines the causes of railroad
troubles at this time, and tells of
plans for improving conditions.
I'm reply to your petition" writes
Mr.. McGinty to Peter Koert, secret
ary of the local Association, you are
advised that all of us are anxious to
find a solution of the transportation
problem. The unfavorable conditions
in commerce and industry generally
and the unfortunate plight of indiv-
iduals or individual industries can
not be worse than the present plight
of the railroads. More than one
half of the carriers are earning less
than their operating expenses and
taxes. A very few individual roads
are earning their interest charges.
Some of them are not even earning
their operating expenses. 1t is OBJ
vious that the present condition can
not long continue without general
and widespread bankruptcy of the
railroads. The whole country is suf-
fering the inevitable after-effects of
the war, many of which are control
led by economic forces of worldwide
effect and cannot be overcome or re-
adjusted suddenly or rapidly.
1.-The bare operating expenses OF
the railroads consume more than
ninety cents of every dollar earned,
and more than sixty cents out of ev-
cry dollar earned is paid out in COM
pensation to the employees. 1t is
obvious that until a wider margin
can be established between the dollar
earned and the cost of earning it,
conditions cannot substantially i'm
prove. This result must be brought
about through appropriate readjust-
ment of operating expenses, the ad-
option of every possible and reason
able economy and gradual revival of
business. We are not hopeless nor
pessimistic as to the future.
ut is believed that the investiga-
ton now being conducted by the Sem
ate into the question Of why the rail-
roads have not prospered under the
transportation act will bring out all
of the facts with regard to the oper-
ating expenses and the high opera
ting ratios and also any serious de-
fects in management will doubtless
be disclosed, and it is hoped that the
means will be found of bringing
about condition that will warrant
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion in reducing freight and passeng-
er rates.

RETAILERS OF WASHINGTON
TAKE LOSS OF $1OO,OOO,OOO

While Mr.. Hoover, the Federal
Trade Commission, and Eastern
Bankers have been pointing to re-
tail prices as the sticking point" in
the process of readjustment, Wash
ington State Retailers have been
quietly and systematically taking los
ses which in the aggregate are con-
servatively estimated at 100000, 900
investigations by the Washington
State Retailers Association show.
By far the greater portion of these
losses were taken in January during
the inventory period at time when
buying was generally suspended by
the public. AS consequence price
reductions which in many cases were
startling have gone practically un-
noticed.
Today the demand for price cuts
based on announced reductions by
iobbers or manufacturers would in
many cases be laughable were 1t not
serious because of lack of public un-
derstanding of the situation. IN
these cases retailers generally took
their losses at inventory time antlcl-
pating the reductions which nave
been made public during the last
few weeks.
AS an instance: a few weeks ago
a prominent manufacturer annouhc-
ed thru the press startling reouc-
tion" on certain yard goods from
37kc to 12Kc per yard and instant
1v there was a clamor for similar
reduction by retailers. The facts
were about as follows:
First: The price of 81 a. was a
year old.
Second: The ruling jobbing price
at the time the announcement was
made was 10 hc, not 81 Rc.
Third: The 121ac price was FOR
future delivery on goods not then
manufactured and not available from
the manufacturer even today.
The public misunderstanding uh-
der the circumstances is obvious pu'
none the less serious or important
to the retailer.
If is said that retailers in the East
are not in many cases taking losses
as they should and this may be the
basis for the public statements MADE
in government circles during the ias'
few weeks. Certain it is that care
ful survey of conditions thruout the
State of Washington shows littie oi
which to complain.
