CHIPS AND SPLINTERS

Never set an egg that weighs less
than two ounces.
I If those old fruit trees never did
pay, perhaps the reason is lack of
spray.
Berry bushes and shrubs to beau
tify the home grounds should be set
out now.
Give the chick chance. 1t can be
no better than the egg from which it
came.
You can't get ahead by staying a
year behind. Run your farm on a
cash basis.
The first step toward a successful
crop lies in the thoro cleaning and
grading of seed.
Weeds are robbers. They use up
good food that the plants should
be getting. Kill the weeds.
Think of the aggravation of hav-
ing flies and mosquitoes in the sum-
mer. Then clean up the premises
now so that they will find no place
this year in which to breed.

WE'LL MADE LAWN
LASTS FOR YEARS

A lawn, when made, should be
done we'll so that it will last FOL
years. The proper making of lawn
requires both careful preparation OF
the soil and the seeding of proper
mixture, says E. c. Durdle, county
agent of Pacific county.
A mixture which will give splen-
did lawn before fall consists of two
parts Kentucky Blue grass, 2 parts
Rhode Islend bend, two parts red
top and one part white clover. This
should be carefully seeded, going
both ways across the land, and
should be thoroly watered at seed
ing time, especially II the soil is at all
dry.
The experiment station at Puya1-
lup has recommended several mix
lures which have given good results.
Among them are Canadian blue grass,
21x lbs; meadow fescue, " lbs;
red fescue, l n h.; red top. 1 h.;
creeping bend, 1 h.; white clover, 1
lb. Another mixture is Kentucky
Blue Grass, h.; red top, II h.;
creeping bend, l " h.; white clover,
1 " h.; sheep fescue, " lb. and
meadow fescue, II lb.
A satisfactory method of improv-
ing the stand on most new lawns is
in the application of 10 to Is lbs. of
superphosphate to each 1000 square
feet of the soil. This should be we'll
worked into the SOIL
Weeds should not be disturbed in
the grass until the lawn mower can
be used. Then repeated cutting will
do much toward keeping the weeds
under control.

FED RIGHT AMOUNT,
COWS RAISE PROFIT

The use Of a scientific ration, fed
in just the right amount to keep the
cows in good condition, has increased
the profit $3.50 per COW for the herd
of w. E. Macomber, of Grays Harbor
county, Wash. What Mr.. Macomber
has accomplished by a careful study
of feeding can be attained by others,
and is in line with the recommends
lions of Don G. Magruder, extension
specialist in dairying at the state
college of Washington.
He had been feeding his cows well,
but last year decided not only to feed
them the right kind of ration, but
also the right amount to obtain the
maximum of production possible
without raising the feed cost to a
point where the profit would be re-
duced.
His feed cost for the last ten
months has been $20.50 more per
cow than for the same period last
year. With this increased feed cost
came an increased production of
forty-nine pounds of butterfat per
COW.
The extra feed used in producing
this extra buterfat cost AZ cents for
each pound of fat. At the same time
the average price paid for butterfat
at the local cheese factory was Sc
cents a pound. This leaves a profit
of IA cents on each pound Of this
extra fat.
At the market price this extra fat
amounted to $27.40 per cow. When
the extra feed cost of $1,000 per
COW is taken from this total, there
remains $500 more profit per cow
than he received last year.
The cows, in addition to this, are
in excellent condition for big produc
tion on pasture. Consequently the
for the increased feed will be
more than shown by the
present cow testing association re-
cords.

BOULDER CANYON AGAIN

Press dispatches published yesterday indicate
that California plans to secure early action by
gress on a bill authorizing the construction of a
dam at Boulder canyon, a bill which will replace
the Swing bill introduced at the last session
As might be expected, flood control is to be the
excuse for the new bill and we are told that power
and irrigation will be but secondary ,considera-
tions; congress will be appealed to on the ground
of the ever present menace from floods and a
semi-private corporation will develop and distri-
butte the power. It does not need much of pro-
phet to determine where the greater part of that
power will go, for southern California is suffer
ing at this moment from serious shortage, and
Arizona will get what California does not want
and that won't be worth talking about.
This is the very danger that friends of Arizona
have expected, have warned against and have
tried to avoid, but the voters of the state seem
blind to the issue and to its Importance We may
Hunt was peaches and cream to the power in
terests of the neighbor state, the heads of which
are at this moment laughing at our imbecility,
and it must be admitted that the laugh is their
side.

partiSanship as to fail to see what is happening
Will the members imagine that the governor can

HOOVER SAYS THINGS LOOK FINE

Secretary of Commerce Hoover is the first
cabinet official to make his annual report to the
president. He says that business conditions are
excellent, and the prospects good for long period
of business prosperity.
Agriculture is slowly getting on a safer and
more satisfactory basis
Foreign trade is increasing, largely with South
America Trade with Europe promises to be bet
ter after the so-ealled Dawes plan gets in opera
tion.
The Dawes plan simply restores the gold stand
ard to Germany, places German currency on a
sound basis, and in large degree controls the
income and outgo of Germany, officially, economi-
caly and financially Practically, Germany is in
the hands of receiver for the benefit, not only
of the creditor allies, but for the whole CONNER

WE ALL WANT TO KNOW

There is prospect that the coming session of
congress will see thorough investigation into the
cause c the continued high cost Of food especially
in the large cities Some members of congress
want to know why potatoes, tomatoes, apples,
meats and all other foods cost so much when pur-
chased for the table, since the grower or producer
receives so little, comparatively speaking. 1t is
estimated that the increase in price of most food
from the farm to the table is from 500 to 1000
per cent. There is a tremendous economic leak
somewhere between the farm and the table Con-
gress may want to know where and why. 1t
promises to be one of the interesting and import
ant inquiries in the coming session.

NOT SO EASY AS IT LOOKS

One foresees all sorts of complications from the
local Elks' manifesto that for go days prior to
next Fourth of July all members of the lodge must
let their boards grow. Fortunately the BARRIERS,
already hard hit by the widespread use Of safety
razors, have picked up more trade than ever in
bobbing feminine locks and shaving feminine
necks. But what are the officers of the lodge
going to do with the fellow who can't grow
beard? Is there to be a competent committee to
decide whether his failure to wear one is congeni-
tai OF merely contraliness And how is the situa
ton to be met in the case of the young married
man, or the popular bachelor whose queen DEGREES

beard? We have few such fellows in mind wheI

STRAW VOTE INDICATED

The forecast of the electoral college division of
votes by the Literary Digests pre- election poll
was 99.44 per cent accurate according to COM
parison between its straw vote and the official re-
turns. The Digest poll showed total of 379 cleo
toraI votes for President Coolidge, 139 for Davis
and 13 for Senator LaFo1ette, whereas the cleo
ton credited them with 382, 1876, and 13 respec-
lively This makes a difference of three votes in
the total of 531 which it is stated is an error of

Congress and the

OF the recent congress can be at.
tributed to the direct primary. But
1t is true, nevertheless
Primaries are cluttcred with sell
starters, candidates who could never
have found their way on a convention
named ticket Many of them are in
competent Occasionally one il
nominated and elected. For the public
is not invaluable. being moro inclined
to respond to hysteria and sentiment
than sound sober sense.
Any congressman or senator, elected
in primary state, plays to the gal
lery. He is responsible to no one
save the citizen who marks the bal
lot National principles are forgotten
in Difference to the voter at home
who must be pleased at any cost.
Legislation with the primary in ac-
tion is merely an attempt to please
the voters of 4S states, individually
rather than collectively.
The primary sounds nice in theory
There is every opportunity to shout
about rights of the people" and all
that sort OF thing which catches the
public fancy. But in effect. a con-
gress chosen via the primary route
tries to represent 4S little countries
instead OF one big one. That means
peanut policies and pure tommyro,.
In practice. good government con-
sidered, the primary will not work.
