DOUGLAS NEEDS
MORE HOUSES

Climate Club Receives
Many Requests for
Rental Property

"If we can get them to look us over
we can sell them on Douglas, but
if we can't provide them with a place
to live in while they look us over,
how are we going to get them to
stay here?"
The leaders of the Borderland
Climate club are seeking an answer
to this question, the outstanding one
i'll their task of campaigning to bring
new residents to Douglas. Secretary
George B. Doubleday has received in
the past six months some 25 requests
each containing substantially the
same question:
"Can I rent comfortable home,
preferably furnished, for a few months
while 1 look over Douglas and decide
whether or not / want to buy prop
erty and settle there?"
Almost invariably Doubleday has
been forced to reply:
"Houses are scarce here and it
might take you little while to get
just what you want. If you come
to Douglas we are sure you will find
a satisfactory place within a few
weeks"
The temporary housing problem,
Doubleday said yesterday, is the prin-
cipal handicap encountered by the
climate club in inducing new resi-
dents to settle in Douglas.

high hope that they would soon
round the world journey.
The American aviatOrS came

through to HOngkong from Hanoi,
French IndO- China, at $500 yes
terday afternoon. They had made
the long flight from RangOOn to
Hanoi over treacherous territory,
without their scheduled stop at
Bangkok, Siam. In this way they
saved some time, and also avoided
the danger of either a forced
landing or a descent to difficult
ground.
Three planes of the royal air
force accompanied the Pride of
Detroit at the start for Shanghai,
which is nearly 800 miles from
HOngkOng, and if this Chinese city
is reached in safety the aviatOrS
will have covered virtually 11,1OO
miles, more than half their routed
distance around the world.
Both men are in good condition,
and as their plane has been func-
tiOning satisfactorily, their original
intention was to fly to Tokyo,
1920 miles away. 1t is possible
that their stay in Shanghai will
be short and that they will make
as speedy a hOp-Off as possible
for the Japanese capital.

BANK OFFERS PRIZES TO
AID ALFALFA GROWERS

Twenty-Five dollars is being of
fered by the Vashon State Bank
in prizes of $500 and $1,000 re-
spectively for the first and second
best l-10 acre new seeding of alfal-
ia for the 1927 season, provided
there are at least five entries in
the contest.
That alfalfa can be grown sue
cessfully and profitably in western
Washington has been proved long
ago by men who have been grow
ing il for IL to Is years in King
County. Among these men who
have grown alfalfa many years are
A. $. Alyord, Kent, Ike Evans,
Kent, and John Shinn, Novelty,
Nels Oslund on the highland near
Redmond and John Snickars on
the highland near Jarmita. The
average yield on river bottom
land has been between five and six
tons per acre on two cuttings with
n third crop for green feed. On the
highland the yield averages from
4 to AZ tons.
j, NJ. Ogilvy on Maury Island
has had for several years the rem.
nants of seeding made ON his
place. This makes an excellent
source of green feed for poultry.
Mr. 0gilvy reports that the alfal-
fa is so firmly established that he
is unabe to plow it up with his one
horse plow.
Mr.. Therkelsou at Center has a
small plot of Alfalfa in his yard
which has persisted for years in
spite of the grass and lack of cul-
tivation.
Much Of the soil on Vashon Is
land is adapted to alfalfa growing
and alfalfa will furnish an excel
lent green feed for poultry from
early April to late November. Last
year the minimum requirement Ia
enter the contest was u acre
which was too large for the poul
trymen. This year the minimum
is l-l0 acre for the local contest
and 1t is expected that a great
many will be interested and enter
the contest. Entry blanks and IN
formation on the hest methods ol
seeding, etc, can be had by calling
at the Vashon State Bank or hy
writing the County Agent, lls
