last few days his grandfather, Mr..
Geo. Knauss, 81. of North Dakota, his
father d. X. knauss from COlville,
washington. Geo. Knauss. ST., met D..
j. Knauss at Colville Friday and they
drove through to OrOville together,
leaving here Monday morning for We
natchee. Geo. Knauss, ST., was so
favorably impressed with this coun-
try that he will probably sell out and
come here to tsay.
James Ellis returned last week
from Winthrop where he has been
working in the Billy Goat mine on
the north fork of the MethOw river
The crew was layed off for 30 days
waiting for the completion of the fed
eral road through the Chelan forest
which will run by the property. Mr.
Ellis states that the road is already
within five miles of the mine. He
brought back some samples of high
grade ore, which contain sufficient
values in gold, silver, lead and cop
per to delight the eye of any miner.

VnfavorabIe Results Obtained in
Many Investigations.
Survey Made In Various States
Showed That Rodents and Their
Depredations Were Serious
Problem to Public.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Special investigations regarding the
effectiveness of the various rat viruses
on the market were recently made by
the biological survey of the United
States Department of Agriculture, in
cooperation with the experiment sta
ton of the North Dakota Agricultural
college and the bureau Of animal in
dustry Of the department. All the re-
suits obtained in connection with these
investigations and a large percentage
of reports from users of these products
throughout the country indicate that
such viruses are generally unreliable,
and at their best the cost is out Of all
proportion to the destruction of rats
that may be accomplished by their
use.
A survey made during the year Of
conditions of rat infestation in u
states east of the Mississippi river
showed that rats and their depreda.
lions were problem common to all.
The problem is equally serious In
western states. Many local campaigns
have been waged against rats through
out the country, and the bureau has
responded to innumerable requests for
information. for practical plans of or
ganizstiOn and for effective methods

PROBABLE INCREASE IN SPRING
PIGS is INDICATED BY SURVEY

are produced for market. The survey
is but the second of its kind that has
been made and there has not yet been
opportunity to check any differences
that may exist between the figures
shown for the farms reporting and
those for all farms. 1t is pointed out,
however, that the forecast made last
spring of an increase of 14.5 per cent
in the number of spring pigs over the
preceding year is being borne out by
the increased volume of receipts at
the principal stockyards during the
past three months. The surveys also
show that the production of fall pigs
in proportion to spring pigs has in
creased materially during the past two
years, thus making for more stahi-
lized supply of pigs throughout the
year.
The department points out that in
creased production does not necessari-
ly mean an over-supply or decline In
prices. Total receipts of hogs at all
public stockyards during the first /
months of 1922 were 5 per cent more
than in 1921. During the last four
months of 1922 the increase totaled
nearly 20 per cent. The number of
hogs slaughtered under federal In
spection during the same period was
TT per cent more than in 1921 and the
cold storage holdings of pork and lard
resulting from this slaughter shows an
increase of 461 ,246.000 pounds for the

of Agriculture.)
The number of sows bred to farrow
during the first six mouths of 1923 will
be ID per cent more than the number Of
sows which actually narrowed in the
spring of 1922, provided farmers carry
out their intentions as indicated in the
December 1, 1922, pig survey made by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture. For the IL corn belt states
the survey shows an intention to breed
1876 per cent more sows than year
ago. Most of the southern states show
an actual decrease in prospect for
1923.
Increase in Corn Belt.
The probable increase in borrowings
in the spring of 1923 over 1922 COM
pares with an increase of OBS per cent
in the spring of 1922 over 1921 in the
IL corn belt states. The spring pig
crop of 1922 I'm the southern states was
about the same as in 1921. Compare
sons for other states are not available.
Whether or not the expressed in
tentions of farmers with regard to the
number of sows to be bred to farrow
next spring will be carried out will
depend largely on the relative prices
of hogs and corn, the department
says.
An actual increase of 16 per cent in
the number of spring pigs in 1922 over
1921 is shown in the December survey
as compared with the estimated in

THE SUBSTITUTE FOR CELERY
Celeriac, Easily Grown, If Seeds Are
Planted in Box, Then
Transplanted.

Celeriac or root celery for those who
do not have the lime to attend to the
building up and cultivation of celery
offers an easily grown substitute
which needs no more care than a car
rot, turnip or other root crop. 1t has
become rather common in vegetable
markets during the last year or two
and is used chiefly as an Ingredient
for soups and stews, which may be
kept in the cellar as easily as the
commoner vegetables where it would
be impossible to keep celery. 1t has
precisely the same flavor
It's culture is much the same as Gel
cry and it needs the same conditions Of
soil and moisture. The best results and
the largest roots are obtained if the
seedlings are transplanted into indi-
vidual pots before they are set into
the ground.
In order to make the root grow
deeper and develop more substance
many gardeners rake the soil away
from the top of the root as it develops
until nearly the entire root is above
the ground. This sends the feeding
roots down deeper.

care demanded as in warmer or drier
ones. If possible, plants should be
put in their permanent places immedi-
ately. Otherwise, they should be put
in the ground temporarily to prevent
their drying out, states the United
States Department of Agriculture. The
soil must be so dry that there will be
no danger of its packing hard enough
about the roots to bake or become
bricklike on drying, and will spring
apart again after being squeezed
tightly in the hand
The holes should be dug sufficiently
wide to take all the roots without
doubling them back, and deep enough
to set the plant a little deeper than it
grew before and still have 2 or 3
inches of good new soil under it. The
good top soil should be saved for put
ting back in the hole about the roots
of the plant, the sub-soil should be
taken away and be replaced by good
soil. Well rotted manure and ground
bone or cotton-seed meal may be lib
orally mixed with the earth about the
roots of the newly set tree. These
should be we'll mixed with the soil
but should not come in direct contact
with the roots.
The roots should be placed as near
1y In the position they grew as is pos
sible, care being taken not TO leave
them in layers without fine soil be-
chn q,
worked up and down to be sure there
is no opening left under the place
from which the roots branch. After
the hole is partially filled, the soil
must be well tamped to bring the
roots and soil into close contact with
water should be applied before the
hole is finally filled. After it has
soaked away the balance of the soil
should be replaced but without any
tampng or firming of any kind
When the work is done in the fall it
is well to make mound about the
plant to prevent wind from swaying
It and loosening 1t in the soil.
The top of the plant must be pruned
somewhat in proportion to the amount
of roots that were destroyed in dig
ging. This usually means that one
half of the top should be cut away
when the plant has been well dug and
handled and three-fourths or more if
1t has been poorly handled. AS far as
possible this should be done by re-
moving whole limbs or branches
rather than by cutting back the ends,
in order that the general shape or
character Of the plant may be kept.
1t is often help in protecting the
roofs from drying out too rapidly and
assisting them in coming in immediate
close contact with the soil to dip them
in very dilute clay and COW manure
just before planting, or even in dilute
clay alone.

In almost every case the customer said
the stockings had seemed all right

Remarkab,e Voice.

At recent meeting of the Austrian
Vienna, reported in the Scientific
American, Doctor Rethi presented Mr.
Michael Prita, forty-four years of age
whose voice possessed the remarkable
range of five complete octaves. The
deepest note uttered by this singer
was bass f, corresponding to ~
vibrations per second and two octaves
lower, therefore, than the deepest
note which can be produced on the
violin. The only previous record of SO
low tone in the human voice is that
of a bass singer named Fisher, who
lived in the early part of the Eight

PLANTS NEED AIR

Give Seeding tomatoes air when.
ever it is possible, to make them
stocky. No plant goes spindling faster
than the tomato. Open the window a
little way on any day when the tenn
perature is above freezing, but do not
expose to cold winds. Fresh air when
ever possible goes a long way toward
making fine, strong tomato plants in
the seed boxes and fran;es
