PROTEST AGAINST
NEW STATE ROAD
Ferndale Objects To Proposed
RAved Road Parallelling Pres
ent Highway

Whatcom County is becoming
aroused over the proposal of the
State Highway Department to
construct a new paved road from
Bellingham to beyond Ferndale,
a district now adequately served
by through concrete highway.
Repairs and widening at a low
cost would put the present Bel
lingham-Ferndale road on a fine
basis, so that the plan for an
entirely new highway and an ex-
pensive bridge over the Nooksack
River is regarded as q foolish
waste of money.
Ferndale Is off the route Of
the new road, and that city is
formally protesting to Governor
Hart this week. The Ferndale
Record makes the following COM
ment about the proposed high
way
What is the state highway
building between Bellingham and
Blaine, a highway or speedway?
Ferndale wants to know because
Ferndale apparently is to be off
the Pacific Highway, as announc-
ed by Engineer Allen. Fern
dale is entitled to know. because
it will be paying its share toward
this state highway which will
only touch Ferndale at one ex-
tremity.
The military character of the
proposed road leads to the belief
that war is feared and that
straight-line roads are needed.
The new highway is to be singu-
larly free of curves, a bee-line
from Bellingham to Blaine. Roads
now existing are too angular, it
appears, while the idea Of routing
tourists through the smaller
towns and the productive country
is secondary to their reaching the
border with the minimum exer-
ton on the steering wheel.
We want tourists to see Mt.
Baker, but they can't settle there.
We want them to see the Peace
Arch. but it will not beckon them
to live in its shadow. We want
tourists to see our farms and
towns. because they are the back
bone Of the prosperity of What
com county And who. IL he is
confronted with mile after mile
of straight, smooth wide roadway
through a portion of the country
poorly developed, will not "step
on her?

These results happened on
IRE than $500 farms in the

Rtements hold true for all clas-

In the case of cattle the owner

not purebred. With swine and

New York World Reporter Moves
Government Gardens Right To
This City

farm. located just outside the
Bellingham city limits on the
Guide Meridian road, was moved
over to Lynden this week by an
enterprising correspondent for
the New York World. That paper
published an article ON the bulb
farm under a Lynden date-line,
and placed the beautiful gardens
in this city.
AS the bulb farm lies between
Lynden and Bellingham, it may
be all right for this city to claim
possession, but no one had sug-
gested the plan, until the bold
reporter tried it out in the big
Eastern paper.
Eastern Man Seeks Bulbs Here
AS one result of the story,
Postmaster D. L. Beckes received
this week a letter from an East
ern bulb exporter, seeking in
formation about the Puget Sound
product. He said he was delay
ing making his annual trip to
Holland to purchase bulbs, in Or
der to find out if it was true
he could get better ones right in
his own country.
Mr.. Beckes sent the letter to
the director of the bulb farm to
be answered.
Lynden Annexes Farm
The following is the New York
World story:
LYNDEN. Wash, March 4
Seven to eight million hyaeinths
are coming through the ground
on the government bulb farm
here. Acres of tulips, daffodils
and crocuses, the bulbs crowded
closely together in wide rows,
will this spring display their
bloom on one of the largest ex-
perimental tracts cultivated by
the Department of Agriculture.
With its soil and climate par
ticularly adapted to bulb grow
ing, Holland is famous for its
spring flowers, but a competitor
is soon to invade her long list of
or 70 for hnnlra6c nf
mers in the Puget Sound district
and on her islands have secured
bulbs for breeding from the Gov
ernment experimental farm and
this summer will harvest their
first commercial crop. The pro-
ducts will be hyacinths of i'm
mense size, tulips of two hundred
varieties, and many varieties of
narcissus.
No Frost To Worry About
The Northwestern bulb is pro-
duced in a climate far exceeding
that of Holland, for the frost
element does not enter. The
bulbs are grown in a deep black
soil, with enough sand to produce
both size and distinctive color.
The flower spikes of the local
hyacinth are immense. one last
spring possessing 230 separate
flower bells.
The Government farm here has
been in operation for ten years
and careful attention given to
the propagation of hyacinths.
The bulbs are scooped by a pro-
cess which removes a cone shaped
core from the root end. This
scooped bulb when planted, in
stead of Towering, sends out fifty
or sixty little bulblets which in
four years reach the commercial
size. These measure from two to
three inches in diameter, or twice
those imported.
$4,000 An Acre In 1t
Tulips are forced to multiply
by picking the bulbs early. Mar
cissus and its daffodil family
produce mother bulbs here that
surpass in size and vigor all
Holland stock.
Puget Sound planters have
been furnished stock from this
farm for seven years and are
now actively engaged in supply
ing the demand for bulbs in this
From an acre of bulbs
the almost incredible profit of
$4,000 has been derived.

The automobile as an accepted We
hicle celebrated its twenty.first
birthday in 1921. The automobile In
dustry found that this age of major
ity brought new problems Of bust
ness adjustment. .
In solving these problems In 1921
the industry made its most notable
advances In placing sales and pro-
duction methods upon sounder foun-
dations.
The establishment Of these new
standards In sales and production ad-
ministration brought the industry
through the year in far stronger
condition than many anticipated.
The courage and resourcefulness
OF Americas bankers and business
men In sustaining the motor car In
dustry deserve the admiration Of
every American. When II is re-
membered that the automobile indus
try today provides employment for
the heads OF very nearly 1000 Amer.
