WHEAT WILL STAY BUT
DIVERSITY WILL COME
Experts Discuss Local Agricultural
PrOblems-Must Reduce Land
Values or Increase Pro-
duction

Tuesdays session of the chamber
of commerce was given over to the
committee on agriculture, OF which
Lee Allen is chairman, and an inter-
esting and instructive discussion of
local agricultural problems was held,
with the various members of the
committee participating.
Diversity of farming was discussed
by Dean Edward c. Johnson, who
voiced the opinion that wheat farm
ing will always predominant on Pa
louise country farms because of the
adaptability of that branch OF agri-
culture supplemental industries
will of necessity be added, according
to Dean Johnson, and time will see
additional industries on every farm,
either dairy poultry or hogs.
In discussing agriculture from a
standpoint Of soils Professor f. J.
Sievers stated that two things are
required Of every successful farmer
First he must know how to get plant
food out of the soil, and secondly he
must know how to put it back The
Palouse farmer, he pointed out is
now up against the problem either of
reducing the value of his land about
80 per cent to pre-war valuations
or of increasing his production to a
.
with present conditions and make his
land worth It's present valuation.
Cut down rhe value of your farm
1 land 80 per cent and you can keep
on farming as at present" he said,
| but he pointed out that as long as
present land valuations are main
| tanned a different farming system
must be inaugurated
The problem of the Palouse coun-
try farmer is a plant food problem,
he said, and he compared conditions
here with those which existed in the
! Middle West several years ago. There
it was found necessary to increase
the fertility of the soil, which was
being robbed of its strength. Glover
was planted as a rotation crop to i'm
prove the soil Then it was found
that cows relish the clover hay and
that their milk flow increased when
| it was fed. More cows and better
ones were secured by the farmers to
return profit from the clover crops
and the dairy industry grew by leaps
and bounds, though the farmers had
no intention of boosting that indus
try when they turned their attention
to clover as fertilizer crop.
The Palouse farmer should by all
means continue growing wheat, ac-
cording to Mr. Sieyers, but he should
grow it only every other year and

responsive; then in after life do as
your own conscience tells you, the
period of greatest danger from smok

BIG CHARITY PARTY
SATURDAY AFTERNOON
Suffering of Small Children Arouscs
Women al Community to Action
Men and Women Will BE Given
Opportunity TO Help

Learning that small children were
going to school unfed and insuffici-
emily clothed the women of the
Neighborly Neighbors club started an
investigation and found a condition
that they feel sure the community is
ignorant OF and will not permit to
continue. They brought to light the
fact that several small children we're
not receiving enough to eat and had
actually attended school without haV-
ing had breakfast owing to the fact
that there was nothing to eat in their
homes, and that small children had
been going through the severe cold
without underclothing The fact was
also brought to light that the teach
ers, unable to look into the hungry
little faces of their scholars, had been
personally furnishing food for some
Of the children and spending their
money for the comfort of the little
ones. The club Immediately took
steps to help out and is now plan
ming on raising funds for the use of
the teachers in the future. Temper
airy relief has been afforded by or
ganizing milk routes whereby people
who own COWS and have more milk
than they need can contribute the
surplus. Several people are sending
in milk but much more could be
advantageously used.
On Saturday afternoon, February
IL, the club will give a card party
and kensington in Masonic hall, be-
ginning at 200 o'clock. Five hun
dred and bridge will be played and
refreshments will be served.
An admission of % cents will be
charged and the gross receipts will be
devoted to the children. The Masons
have donated the use of their hall,
the chamber of commerce will fur
nish the chairs, Robert Neill will
furnished the tables, The Herald has
donated the score cards and the
ladies of the entire community are
furnishing the refreshments. Mrs
p. f. Galser is the president of the
club and Mrs l.. B. Meyer is chair
man Of the committee in charge Of
the affair.
Gentlemen are invited to come up
to the hall for refreshments, and will
be furnished with tables if they care
to play cards.

The event was staged for the benefit
Of the students in the short course

betting odds were about even. The
footing was poor on account of the

man County

Through the will of Patrick
Drain. who died some two years ago,
fund of between $4,000 and $20,-
200 is made available for educational
uses in Whitman county. and it is
nrobable that the trustees of the
fund will convert it into a loan fund
TO assist high school graduates Of
the county in acquiring a college ed
ucation. DR.. Edward Mcguire and
IL. Dumas, trustees, and d. c. Dow
attorney for the estate, met at Col
fax last Saturday with the county
Principals association for the pur-
pose of discussing the best method

desire to take college work Super

cooperate with the trustees of the
estate and a third trustee will be
selected by DR.. Mcguire and Mr..

Mr.. Drain resided near Cotton for
many pears and came to Pullman to
spend his declining days, dying here
about two years ago at the age OF
81 years His will was made June
8, 1916, and was filed in May, 1920,
soon after his death. He was the
possessor of large land holdings in
eastern Whitman county.
The public knew but little about
the will at that time, but now it de-
yelopes that fortune of between
$4,000 and $4,000 was left for ed
ucatiOnal or charitable purposes in
the state of Washington, more par
tcularly in Whitman county, as l
