BETTER-SIRE IDEA
SWEEPS STATE
Washington Makes Fine Showing
In Adoption Of Improved Males
for Breeding on Farms

A total of 1S3 purebred sires
and dams were placed during
the months of January, Febru-
ary and March in twenty-tbree
counties in the state. These an
imals were placed thru the eff
forts of the county agents and
interested stockmen. OF the to-
tai number, 81 were dairy cattle,
beef cattle and 72 swine. These
do not include the hundreds of
purebred animals which have
been disbursed to the various
counties of the state in private
and combined sales of purebred
animals.
San Juan county leads all
others in the replacement of
scrub dairy sires. having replaced
Is scrubs with Is purebreds reg
istered animals. The dairymen of
the county are determined to
eliminate the scrub from the is
land.
Adams county leads in the dis
bursement of swine with 25 fe-
males; Douglas being second
with IS. Yakima county stands
first in dairy females placed with
21, while Pend Orielle and San
Juan tie for fourth place with
Is each.
IF the activity in the replace
ment of scrub sires continues
during the next nine months at
the rate it has attained during
the past three months" says DR..
S. b. Nelson, director of the ex-
tension service of the State Col
lege. "and does better because
of the cumulative interest. 1922
will be the banner year with the
elimination of the scrub sire by
purebreds in the state.
with only a little help from
every stockman and farmer in
terested in purebred sires, and
in cooperation with the county
agents of the various counties,
the advancement Of the livestock
industry during the present year
will be noteworthy"

GOVERNMENT TO BUILD ROAD
TO AUSTIN MEADOWS NOW

Assurance that construction will
be started within a short time
on the completion of the Mount
Baker-Shukshan scenic highway
as far as the meadows on the
west side of Austin pass is con-
tanned in the official announce
ment made last week that Secre-
tary Wallace. of the federal de-
partment of agriculture, has ap-
proved an appropriation of S110,-
600 for the project, contingent
upon the appropriation of S55,-
600 for the purpose by the coun-
ty, provision for which already
has been made.
The contract to be awarded
this year will provide for the
construction of nine and one
tsnths sr miles fr2p 81 peints .lt near
to the Austin Creek meadows,
which lie at the base of Mount
Shukshan and Mount Hermann
and near the entrance to the pass
1t is expected that if the plans
and specifications already have
been completed by the bureau
of public roads, which will have
charge of the work, call for
bids will be sent out in few
days. Probably the contract can
be awarded in time for construc-
tion to begin about July l, and
it will be possible by next year
for visitors to reach the Austin
creek meadows by automobile.
Last year the government,
with the cooperation of What
com county, built seven miles of
the new road, beginning about
five miles east of Glacier and eX-
tending TO Shukshan. The COM
pletion of the contract next to
be awarded will mean the open
ing of a road about twenty-one
miles from Glacier. 1t is prob
able that the next step will be
to improve the five miles of high
way east of Glacier. This section
now is passible but it is not i'll
the best of condition.
The road to be built this year
will go up Bagley creek and at
no point will there be a sleeper
grade than per cent. In fact
per cent will be the maximum
grade OF the road from Glacier
to Austin pass. The roadbed will
be sixteen feet in width.
The opening of the road will
make accessible to tourists a
park more than 1000 acres in
extent. The meadows are within
four miles of the summit of
Shukshan, and afford an unus-
ually fine view of that mountain.
They are at an elevation of 4 1000
feet, or somewhat less than half
the altitude of Shuksan itself.
From the meadows the glaciers
on Shukshan can be seen and
also can be heard as they crash
down the mountain in places.
From this point the distance to
the summit of Mount Baker is
ten miles.

LYNDEN CANNERY
FACES GOOD SEASON
Manager c. NJ. Creamer Has
Bulk of Pack Already Sold;
Car of Sugar Arrives

I Looking forward to a season
of prosperity, the Lynden Por-
ducers' Canning Company's plant
is being groomed for operation
under thed irection of c. M.
Creamer, manager.
A carload of sugar has been
received, and supplies are being
laid in to handle the seasons
pack. Although Manager Cream
er does not look for more than
fifty per cent crop of raspber-
ries this year, due to the unus-
ually severe winter, nevertheless
the plant will be operating to
capacity with other products of
the district.
An encouraging feature in con-
nection with the operation of the
Lynden Cannery this year, is the
fact that large proportion of
the output is already sold at
excellent prices. The cannery ex-
poets to handle 5000 cases of
cherries of all grades, and of
these, every single can has been
contracted for.
The Lynden plant will pack
10000 cases of beans this year;
of this total, orders are signed
up for more than two-thirds.
Whatcom County canned beans
have gained a reputation for be-
ing as fine as any in the country,
and a big demand for them has
developed all over the country.
Lynden growers are being en-
couraged to plant beans as
crop that is sure to win.

Opening of Season in League
Here
Lynden VS.. Everson!

Lynden VS.. Everson!
That these two teams should
be brought together for the op-
ening game of the season in the
Nooksack Valley League should
prove of more than ordinary in
terest to baseball fans. These old
enemies will play~at the Fair
Grounds Sunday at 200 p. m.
If you don't think that Everson
would rather win from Lynden
than from any other town in
Whatcom County, just talk to
an Everson fan. During the
season of 1921, Everson was the
only team in the Nooksack VAL
ley League which did not de-
feat Lynden in game. OF
course, the Everson fans admit
that they had the best team, but
they were just unlucky.
Now comes their first oppor-
tunity to get revenge. Coach
William Meurer has given as
surances that Lynden will have
a baseball team of merit on hand
for Sundays big game. AS he has
not as yet been able to pick any
regulars, he does not wish to
announce his lineup at this time.
The schedule for this division
of the Nooksack Valley League
has been drawn up and will be
published next week.
Admission to Sundays game
will be 10c and Csc.
