Professor to Study
State Weed Control

"A. F. Hafenrichter, assistant
professor of farm crops at the
State College of Washington, is
making 12-day tour of the state
to study forage crop production un-
der existing conditions, the weed
situation, and the result of eradi-
cation measures. s
Professor Hafenrichter is new
member of w. S. C. faculty, de-
voting the greater part of his time
to experimental station work. He
left the State College Monday, Au-
gust 10, and his tour will cover
the territory through Lind, up the
Yakima valley, to the Puyallup
experiment station and up into the
northeastern counties.
"Weed control by the use of
chemical sprays is becoming in
creasingly important in the state,'
the professor says. "Chemcal weed
eradication is a very important
field, but in the state of Wash
ington, with its many species and
varieties of annual and perennial
weeds growing under such a diver
sity of climatic and soil condtons,
the problem of eradication is at
tended by many difficulties. In for
age work we find the same diff
culties due to the diversity.
ut is in the interests of studying
conditions and formulating ex-
perimental work that the tour will
be made. The main time will be
given to studying certain methods
Of attacking the fundamental prob
lens from which it may be possible
to make further recommendations
for weed control"

Youth Profits

Davenport daddies and sofa sis.
ters will sit up and take notice,
then sit down and take their ease
when they spot the new loges
which the Liberty theatre has in
stalled this week.
Deeply cushioned, and divided in
to compartments just 'fbuilt for
two," four lodge davenports have
been placed on a slightly raised
platform. running full across the
back of the theatre. They will seat
IL couples, or "a normal people.
1t was expected that the seats
would be fully installed in time
for the first show Tuesday night.
The admission for these seats is 80
cents.
: Those who should know have
been sagely prophesying that the
occupants of the loges would not
be elderly folks with weary bones,
but "that 1s-year-old tribe" who
win sit straight through two shows
and enjoy them both.

PLAY SEASON
CLOSES WITH
PICNIC, SWIM
Work of Children Will be on
Exhibit at Gascoigne and
Fyfe's During Week; Shows
Results Of Summer

A costume picnic where grease
paint was gloriously mixed
ice cream on young faces, and one
more plunge in the swimming pool
made a grand wind-up of the 1929
playfield season last week.
Disguised in crepe paper dane
ing dresses, grandmother's old
fashioned party gowns, and faith
er's outworn working trousers, 20
children ran races and played
games at the city park Friday aft
ernoon. Ice cream was furnished
by the Kiwanis club. Gene Whit
temore, dressed as a fat and dis
reputable tramp, took first prize
for the funniest costume, and Wv
ian Higley, demure in trailing
skirt, morning cap and spectacles,
won second.
Saturday afternoon the crowd
assembled at the pool for a splash
party.
Pictures were taken at both the
pool and the picnic and will be dis
played with the playfield exhibit at
Gascogne and Fyfe's during the
week. The exhibit will include in
addition to the pictures, the hand
work done by the children during
the summer. Clever rag dolls and
miniature furniture, made under
the supervision of Harriet Hudnall,
director, show that talent and in
terest for this sort of thing de-
velops early.
During the twelve weeks that the
playground was open, there was
an average daily attendance of SO.
and an average attendance at the
swimming pool every Saturday of
so. Miss Hudnall usually had five
organized games going each after
noon, alternating with rest per-
iods and lessons in hand work.
Plans are being made by the XII
wants club for an extension of the
playfield work next summer.

Dust BIOzOS !!
8 e 8
Summer Goes

A gale of dust, and puff! away
goes our hot weather. In comes cold
nights with a hint of frost, leaves
begin to drift down with soft
rustic, and women begin to study
the fall fashion magazines. So sud-
denly does summer turn to aut-
umn.
Of course, the noon-time sun is
still hot, sleeveless frocks are still
comfortable, bathing suits are still
useful, but the edge is gone from
the midle of the year. Somehow
our interest lies ahead, and our
taste is all for the activities OF
the coming season. And all on ac-
count of dust storm!
