In discussion of the general SUBJ
Ject What Soil Means to Unity" /
am sure it is not necessary to make
the case that the soil is our greatest
asset and that agriculture, our basic
lndusty, is fundamental to other in
dustries and to human welfare, al
ways has been so, is so today and al
ways will be so. This is now so gen
enrally recognized as to permit of no
argument. In fact, it is thing that
mas been proved time and again and
mas become almost a truism. There
fore, | shall not impose upon your
time by going over this ground today
but will take up immediately some
phases of our agriculture which 1
believe to be of general interest and
OF more or less general concern.
Variety of Soil and Climate
When one considers the agricul-
ture of SO diversified state as Wash
ington, one wonders if there can be
any unity from the standpoint of soil.
No state, perhaps with the possible
exception of California, is as compli-
Gated in its agriculture as our own.
1t has soil extremely varied in
constituency and possibilities, such
as, volcanic ash, sands from the fin
est to the coarsest, clays of all kinds,
glacial gravel, alluvium, residual dis
Indignation, peat boys and tide lands.
1t has natural vegetation ranging
from the bunch grass of the Palouse
to the sage brush of the desert and
the dense forests of the mountain
slopes. 1t has temperatures ranging
from 100 in the shade in summer in
some of the deepest valleys to the
warm days and cool nights with
frosts seven to eight months in the
year on some of the plateaus and
from the equable climate of the coast
al areas to the frigid temperatures
of the mountain tops.
Washington has an elevation rang
ing from sea level on the Pacific to
a few hundred feet in some of the
1900 feet at the top of 'The Noun
tain" 1t has a rainfall ranging from
less than six inches where the CO.
lumbia meets the Snake to 10 feet in
the coastal areas of that wonderful
range of mountains which still retain
the ruggedness, the beauty and the
fascination of youth.
A Varied Agriculture
Because of these varied conditions,
and agriculture of great variety is a
natural consequence. The east and
southwest part of Washington is par
ticularly well adapted to cereal pro-
duction. With average. state yields
of more than forty million bushels
of wheat and an estimated. yield this
year of almost fifty-eight million.
Washington is one of the great wheat
producing states of the union. Much
of its great valleys are particularly
we'll adapted to the production of al
falfa hay and other forage and feed
crops. Large sections are adapted to

COMMUNITY
FAIR AT HOVER
Thanksgiving Day Festival
Program Planned BY
Parent-Teachers

Hover is to have a community fair.
1t will be in the nature of Thanks
giving Day Festival, including on the
program an exhibit of the products
of the Hover community, number
of competitive contests in such ex-
citing events as nail driving, pattern
drafting, ETC.; community dinner
and an evening program with speak
ers who will talk about community
problems.
The movement for a community
fair was launched at the Parent
Teachers meeting Friday night when
a committee was appointed to name
the officers who should have charge.
A meeting of these officers was held
Monday night and the fair program
outlined. Following are the officers of
the fair association; President VIII
liam E. Weir; secretary-tren,surer
Mrs. Marie Cochran; superintendent
of the juvenile department, Mrs. Mat
tie Graft; superintendent of the
Woman's department, Mrs. w. F.
Ashby; superintendent of agricultur-
al department, John Cochran; super
intendent of live stock, H. S. Hughes;
Director of sports, Robert Cochran;
Chairman of the Program committee,
Mrs. Achsah Masters.
Mrs. Graft will have Mrs. Frank
Kahler and Miss Jennie Dresser as
assistants in her department. Under
the agricultural department William
Mills will have charge of the fruit
display and C. j. Dahlin of the poul-
try. The woman's department will
be conducted by the Parent Teach
ers' association of which Mrs. Ashby
is the president. She has appointed
Mrs. C. j. Dahlin to have charge of
the cooked food display, Mrs. w. j.
Murawski the canned fruit, Mrs.
j. E Hampton, antiques, and Mrs.
Lille F. Evans of the sewing.
The leaders of the various depart
ments are working out the premium
lists which will be ready for dis
tribution by next week when a de-
tailed program of the fair will be
ready.

the production of tree fruits of the
finest quality and with an average
annual yield Of apples of more than
q, 0O0, 900 bushels and an estimated
yield in 1928 of 29,601, 900 bushels
our state is first in commercial ap-
pie production, New York being its
only rival. Washington ranks near
the top in berry production. Its large
areas devoted to pears, prunes and
peaches, apricots, berries and plums
emphasize its Importance as a soft
fruit state. With millions of acres OF
logged off lands, some cleared, others
in process of clearing, others seeded
and pastured, all situated in sections
Of what many believe to be the fin
est climate in the world. Washington
has a dairy industry unsurpassed by
any state in yield of milk per cow,
and poultry industry surpassed in
production per hen by no state in the
union. With much land which will
always be in range, with large forest
reserves and controlled grazing, the
state will always carry large pop
pulation of sheep and cattle.
With a soil of so many characters
a rainfall and temperature and gen
eral climate so varied, with crops OF
such great diversity and livestock
industry of so many kinds, one won
ders if our soil, its products and its
population can have much of unity
Can There Be Unity Where Variation
Is So Great?
The purposes, aspirations and gen.
eral character of a population are
shaped largely by its occupations
Can there be unity of purpose, q
unity of need, unity of outlook o.
any concerted movement for prog
gress in state such as ours? That
this is difficult to attain, believe
everyone who understands the situa.
ton will realize. The very fact tina,
it is difficult probably will bring
home to many the necessity. Such q
program as we have today, / believe
is evidence of the realization that ii
our progress as a state is to he as we
would wish, it is necessary for us to
have common understanding with
reference to our basic industries, q
unity of purpose in our development
and some goal towards which we
may consciously be working, however
varied our interests may be. Some OF
the aspects of our basic industry
production from the soil, wish to
bring before you for your considera.
ton and discussion today. This has
so many aspects that even in the
generous time which your secretary
has kindly allotted to me, only few
may be touched upon and that rather
lightly.
Those which I have selected are
types of farming, the maintenance OF
fertility, production costs, efficien,
marketing, transportation in its rela.
ton to agriculture, substantial in.
come for the farmer, agricultural
education and agricultural experiment
tation and research.
