to be as bitter as the veto fight over

Governor Hartley, it will be re-
called, declared against fixed millape
and appropriations for educational in
stltutlons in his original message. He
reiterated his dislike for fixed millage
IN his latest message, calling fixed
mlliage a fiasco." Consequently, ed

the Sutton bill are worried over pros

The Sutton bill raises leyies for

Credie, state seal sale chairman
"rests the future Of our nation and
the better informed he is in health
matters, the stronger citizen he will
surely be. Every child taking part in
the annual sale of Christmas seals t.,

which is the greatest menace to the
youth of our country, but civic re

Properly directed the sale of seals
by the children is very valuable to

Recent statistics from the United

majority of deaths from tuberculosis
in Washington occur between the
ages Of fifteen and thirty-five years,
the highest point being reached at
twenty years.
Thus, the sale of seals by the child

Briefly, the progress of the Kittitas

Congress approved the project, con-

responsibility of land settlement.
Governor Hartley refused. A private
corporation was formed to indemnify

MANURE BEST
AS FERTILIZER
Experiment Station Test
Plots Show Effects of
Various Fertilizers

On plots receiving manure the
yield of crops at the irrigation branch
experiment station has been create,
than that of any plot receiving
commercial fertilizer for the four
years the nitrogen fertilizer expert
ment has been under way. This ex-
pertinent was begun on virgin soil
so that the effect of the different fer
tilizers could readily be seen.
Potatoes, corn and wheat are
grown in a three year rotation on
these plots. Commercial fertilizers are
applied annually at rates varying
from $50 to 800 pounds per acre
while manure is applied only once in
three years at rate of IA tons per
acre. Manure is applied just before
the potato crop.
The yields of potatoes on the dif-
ferent plots this year are approx
mately proportional to the yield of
other crops in previous years. The
yields are as follows: yard manure
14.13; sheep manure 1905; fish scraps
1924; ammonium sulphate 1924; al
falfa hay, 1917; sodium nitrate 9.85;
land plaster GIL and check plots (re-
ceiving fertilizer) 8.36 tons per acre.
These results emphasize the impor-
tance of careful utilization of ma
nure. 1t not only excells in nitrogen
maintenance but also helps keep the
soil in good physical condition while
the reverse is true with some of tile
commercial fertilizers. In some in
stances the use of good commercial
fertilizers has proven profitable bu.
if the problem is one Of soil fertility
alone it is good plan to use all
available manure before purchasing
commercial fertilizers.

proved later to be frosty location,

account of orchard heating and the
reports of work done in California
were so encouraging that we decided
we could go to the ranch with reas-

sThe first boom in orchard heating
came in 1910. Much heating was done
that year in the Yakima valley and it
reached its climax in 1914. The re-

AND THE BIG
ONE GOT AWAY
Rancher Tells of Killing
Lynx with a Three
Foot Club

"And the biggest one, mind you
got away!"
Sounds like fisherman telling a
yarn, but this concerns a case of
mistaken identity.
| w. o. Meals. who lives out in the
Horse Heaven hills killed big grey
lynx the first of the week with a
three-foot club, thinking it was a bob
cat. Mr.. Meals had gone to a home
steaders deserted shack in the hills
and stepping inside was met by two
big lynx which showed their teeth
and spit at the dog. Backing out the
door, looking for a weapon, Mr..
Meals found club about three feet
long and went after the varmints,
thinking they were bob cats.
The big one disappeared thru
window, but the smaller one took to
the rafters, all the time keeping a
weather eye open to the actions of
Ben, Meals hunting dog. A good,
hearty swat brot the "bob cat" down,
which Immediately tied into the dog,
scratching the side of his face from
nose to ear. In the meantime the
club put an end to the fight.
The big grey animal was skinned
and the hide brought to town where
it is on display at the Service Auto
Co. It is thought to be rather unusual
for lynx to live in this community,
as very few have been seen, but bob
eats are not unusual. Mr.. Meals SAYS
that he will soon bring in the "big
cats" hide to prove his statements,
but that he doesn't intend to tackle !
the job with club.
