YOUNG PEOPLE FORM CLUB,

The Young Peoples Club started
last Thursday evening, bids fair to be
a great success. Twenty-nine post
card invitations were mailed to young
people over 16 years of age to come to
The church to plan for club. Thirty
one were present. While distinctly one
of the organizations of Trinity church,
the club does not intend to limit its
membership to those who are or who
lean toward the Episcopal church. The
organization will be social, literary,
dramatic. and musical, the one chief
aim being to bring the young men and
young women together in social way,
an aim which is felt to be eminently
worth while. A skating party was CIV
en- Thursday evening Of this week.
The next regular meeting, for organi-
zation and the election of officers, will
be held at the church Thursday even

CHANCE GIVEN TO
BUY DAIRY STOCK
Car OF Calves from Heavy Producing
Dams and Pure Bred Sires Offer.
ed at $40 a head.

A number Of farmers in the valley
have already taken advantge of an Of
fer made by the Tillamook, Oregon,
COW testing association in letter to
r. B. Pursley, to sell a carload of
calves from heavy milk producing
stock at $40 a head F. o. B. Portland.
Arrangements to purchase these
calves are being made through Dell
Hart and the list will be completed in
a few days., Mr.. Hart announces.
These calves are guaranteed to be
from dam producing not less than
900 pounds of butterfat, the average
Of the association. however, being ap-
proximately 450 pounds. Besides the
calves will be from tuberculin tested
herds and free from contagious dis
ease. They are sired by pure bred bulls
of the breed desired, either Jersey,
Guernsey or Holstein. Accompanying
each calf will be a guarantee of the
production of the dam and the name
and registry number of the pure bred
sire.
The age of the calves will be from
one to two weeks old and each will be
in good shipping condition.
AS Mr. Pursley points out these
calves can be purchased at an unusu-
ally low price and they will soon grow
into money makers. 1t is the most in
expensive way to start dairy herd
and farm payroll and all who are
interested will need to act quickly in
order to get in on the present ship
ment. The time within which purchase
can be made at this price will soon
expire it is said, and no other attempt
to secure second car load is now

they have taught the faremrs the ne
cessity of rotation of crops if they are
to have continued prosperity on their
| nds.
In Idaho, Utah and in California
there are hundreds of thousands OF
acres of irrigated lands that lie idle
ruined by over irrigation. 1t is a SER
ious matter and intelligent foresight
should be exercised to guard against
my such calmity Detailing present
irrigation systems. If farming is to be
profitable and the agricultural popula-
ton is to be content. there must be a
steady income for the farmers and the
rotation type of agriculture followed.
The crops grown and the handling and
marketing of the same must be so
managed that the farmers get steady
incomes year in and year out.
That cannot be realized except by
rotation of crops and the large use of
live stock. There is nothing that in
sures steady and sure income to
farmers as does the growing of crops
that are manufactu in the commun
ity or close by, such as sugar beets
and fruits and vegetables that are
canned. Social conditions must also be
right if the farming population is to
be contented, and that means the
the schools and farmers or
ganizations. There is one deplorable
that should be righted and
that is the lack of leisure among the
farmers. They should have opportuni-
ties for social life the same as any
other class"

termite, which is a new fruit pest in
this country, and which is supposed
to have originated here from trees
| shipped from Europe, bids fair to be-
come one of the most destructive
pests that We have. He advised that
the dormant spray, with lime-sulphur
is the one that is most effective in fight
ing this pest. And he urged with all
the emphasis that he could command
the vital necessity of recognizing the
/ lhis section and the absolute need of
taking immediate measures to control
it.
The afternoon session was given
over largely to the discussion of soils
and their proper use by Roy Larson
soil expert for Chelan county. This
was a particularly timely and import
ant subject for this section, where
the soil is still in the raw or recently
brought under cultivation. Mr.. Larson
gave the results of experiments and
experience in the Wenatchee valley,
where conditions are practical iden-
tical with this district and the infor-
nation that he gave his hearers should
prove Invaluable to them in the proper
handling of their new orchards. We
urge the wisdom and necessity of
using cover crops, alfalfa being the
best, he said. He explained that the
soils of this region are rich in most
Of the chemical properties essential to
plant growth. but lacking in nitrogen.
and in order to build up the nitrogen
content cover crops Or fertilizer are
necessary. He sketched the experience
of the older fruit sections with clean
cultivation and told Of the gradual
loss of production and the final con-
version of all those districts to the
use Of cover crops in Orcahrds, with
the remarkable improvement in both
quantity and quality of fruit that
followed.
Not the least interesting part of this
discussion was his chart showing the
value Of alfalfa in the orchard, con-
sidered as a fertilizer, as compared
with it's value in the stack or on board
cars as hay. This chart showed that
one ton of alfalfa contains 47.6 pounds
of nitrogen. which is worth 90 cents

The advice given to the people o.

the University of Utah, that they ro

the large use of livestock applies with
equal force here and for that reason
We herewith reprint from the Yakima
Herald, the interview in which this
eminent authority gave his views on
u subject of vital Importance to all
irrigated sections.

ing the short time l have been in
Yakima that there is a general lack
of rotation Of crops and proper atten-
ton to soil fertility" was the COM
ment Of DR.. John A. Widtsoe of Salt
Lake City on the second day he spent
in Yakima. Il have inquired into what
crops are grown in the valley and
from what l have been told it is very
clear to me that you are not doing
much rotating in this valley"
DR.. Widtsoe was formerly president
of the Utah Agricultural college and
later president Of the University of
Utah from which position he resigned
this spring. DIR. Widtsoe was promi-
nent speaker at the Washington irri-
CATION Institute and his diagnosis of
agricultural conditions in the Yaki-
ma valley ELECTED a good deal of COM
ment among the delegates at the in
stitute.
THE biggest problem before the ir-
rigation sections of the arid west is
making irrigation permanent" contin-
ued Dr. Wedtsoe. 1T may seem to be
permanent, but it will not be, unless
an agricultural practice is followed
that will maintain the fertility of the

understand that you are guilty of in
conceivable folly of shipping 10000
to $4,000 cars of hay out of this valley
and putting nothing back on the soil
to replace the fertility that has been
removed. You cannot have permanent
irrigation without lot of live stock
on the farms, for when the crops are
utilized on the farms practically all
the fertility goes back to the soil
except milk, butter, meat and other
products that go for human consump-
ton.
Alfalfa is the one basic crop that
has made irrigation development all
over the west possible, but do you re-

Pennsylvania.

A carload of Spitzenberg apples
from the orchards of F. S. Stansbury,
w. l.. Clark, George Whistler and w.
A. CRUDE, shipped to Pennsylvania,
made a great hit, according to letter
received by Mr.. CRUDE from Paul
Mohler. Mr.. Mohler is at Ephrata, Pa,
in the interests of the Orchard Homes
company, and he writes as follows:
Those Spitzenberg made a great
hit back here. Pity there was only one
car load. Since they are gone, the
folks are eating Fancy and C grade

which were bought at Wenatchee and
which run in all sizes. Looks like
pretty poor stuff to me, but it is sound
and tastes good when nothing better
offers, and people here like them fine.

up the specked ones first of course.

finding specked apples to keep them

for $4.25, 100 size, but not first rate

stuff that Walla Walla showed at Sc
attic, but they taste pretty good, and
am giving them out judiciously to

them, but once in a while l find man

1t is interesting to hear men that told
me last summer that Washington ap-

me how fine those Spitz were
The fact that the Spitz Mr.. Mohler

So far as this nation is concerned
there is but one way to end speedy pros
pect of war and that is to make it cer-
tain that America will not be absorbed
by Jap invaders as have been Korea,
Manchuria, Siberia and Hawaii.
The banner that stands four square to
the California winds at Rose Hill says it:
"JAPS-KEEP MOVING"
And that banner flies stretched from
San Diego to Puget Sound until this Jap
question is settled right, whether we
have battle fleet or a canoe, standing
army or shotgun brigade, a diplomatic
understanding or an open hostility.
The sure way to bring war is for
Washington politicians to ignore the
present, actual, perilous invasion of
Western America by the Japs.
The surest way of preventing it will
be the passage Of law completely halt
