Jonathan apples have been rolled from

Of these 81, cars, Is were loaded at

the water case was started last week
in the Yakima Republic. The law re-
quires that it be published once each

or who could not be found to Serve
personally. The publication is being
made in Yakima county, as the power
plant and most of the property is
located in that county.
When the publication period is over,
the tax matter and ether questions in
dispute can be tried before the Court
and the receivership closed and the
property sold at receivership sale.
Barring unforeseen delays, this sale
shoHld be held some time before the
first of the year.

OLIVER BARRETT ACHIEVES
FAME AS SCULPTOR.

Oliver Laurence Barrett, instructor
in the Art Department in the Univer-
sity of Oregon at Eugene, is spend
ing few days of his vacation on
Barrett Island with his mother, Mrs.
w. w. Barrett.
While engaged in special work
at the University of California dur
ing the recent summer session.. Mr.
Barrett, who is one of the younger
artists of the West, and sculptor
of note, has fashioned the model
for remarkable statue which he
hopes some day to see in stone in
heroic size. The statue is Mr.. Bar
rett's Interpretation of Paul Bunyan,
one of the few real neurological fig
ures in American legends and char
acter OF many logging tales.
In describing Mr.. Barrett's work,
the Portland Oregonian says:
paul is depicted kneeling at the
head of his great blue OK, as if in
contemplation of some great deed,
such as the digging of Puget Sound,
or the carving of the great Column
bia gorge. The OK stands ready, pa
tient at his side. The whole is
mounted on pedestal base, which
in turn is thanked by circular saws,
their teeth making symbolic pattern
on either side.
Unto the clay model Mr.. Barrett
has put the very spirit of the west
ern woods. The massive strength,
the majesty and the solidity OF the
trees and mountains are faithfully
brought out in the carving.
"Mr. Barrett is already achieving
fame as in interpreter OF the early
Oregon country days. At a recent
exhibition in San Francisco his work
won warm praise from art critics.
Notable western figures he has made
include 'Sandstqrrn' statue Of cow
boy and his horse battling storm,
which stands in the Legion of Honor
palace at San Francisco; The In
dian,' a tribute to the redmen and
striking group depicting the last stand
of th. wild horse. Among his other
works is a highly artistic heroic de-
piction of st. George and the Dragon.
1.-The artist is thoroughly familiar
with the Timber of the Northwest,
and in early youth was employed in
various mills and logging camps. In
these he early heard the Bunyan tales
and as soon as he became an artist
to perpetuate this heroic
figure"

SCOTCH FARMERS KNOW HOW

The most successful dairymen are
first of all good farmers, according
to O. E. Reed, Chief of the Bureau
of Dairy Industry, United States
Department of Agriculture. They
appreciate the Importance Of raising
large part of the feed for their cows.
In this connection, he says the Amer
lean dairyrnan might profit from the
experience Of the Scottish dairy farm
er by giving more attention to the
management Of his pasture land.
During visit to Scotland last sum
rner Mr.. Reed had an opportunity to
study the pasturing methods in use
there. On several farms, as we'll as at
the agricultural experiment stations,
a rotation and fertilization system OF
handling pastures was followed. At
the Kiln1aruck Dairy School, 65 cows
were pastured on AZ acres of grass
land divided into fields of 6 acres
each. The IS cows were turned or
one field and allowed to remain trere
four days. Then they were turned on
the next field for four days and so on
Until they had spent four days on each
Of the 7 pastures. Every Is days they
completed the rotation system. AS
soon as the cows were taken from
each pasture it was narrowed with a
spring tooth harrow to scatter the
droppings. Then it was given an APP
plicaticn Of commercial fertilizer. BY
this system Of rotation the produc-
ton Of milk amounted to 5000 pounds
per acre as compared with the aver
age production Of 1000 pounds PEI
acre under the ordinary method.
The rotation system made it pos
sible to turn the cows on pasture
earlier in the season and keep them
on later than usual. Tho plan also
provided a richer feed, since the
short grass contains high per cent
of protein mere nearly comparable to
the grain concentrates. The pasture
furnished the entire ration for all
cows except those that produced as
much as so pounds per day.
Pasture experiments similar to the

STATE WINS GAS CASE

"Tfe first case involving illegal re-
funds on gasoline purchases since the
enactment Of gas tax law in the
State, was tried August 18th in
Adams County" says Mr.. Charles
r. Maybury, Director of Licenses.
A complaint was received against
one Valentine Kanzler, and after a
check of refund vouchers, on file in
the State Treasurer's office, suffici-
ent evidence was found to justify
trying the case.
The defendant claimed that he
could not read the English language,
and stated that he had always been
informed that farmers were entitled
to-. the gas tax rebate whether
they used the gas in the automobiles
or not. MIR. KanzIer pleaded guilty
as charged, and was assessed a fine
of $1,000 on each; of five counts, maxi
ing total of $4,000 and costs.
Similar cases are now under inves-
tigation in the following counties
Columbia, Lincoln, Skagit, Spokane,
Stevens, Walla Walla, Whitman, and
Yakima are soon expected to go be-
fore the court

DON'T KNOW US

Somebody will have to give the
Wenatchee World an introduction to
the Priest Rapids Valley. In front

crop of Jonathan apples being
shipped from Wenatchee that day
and concluded the first paragraph of
the story with this: "This was the
first car of ions to go out of the
Pacific Northwest, So far as is
known"
At that time the Jonathan harvest
in this valley was nearing it's peak
and on September 7 an even TWEEN
ty cars Of ions had rolled out OF
White Bluffs and Hanford.
OF course every one is willing to
admit that the Wenatchee valley is.

and good orchard farming that valley
stands at the head of the class. But
