In consequence, the commission
said it did not attempt to limit the
territory or describe rates by destina-
ton. It ordered the routes to make
Joint rates and establish the through
routes petitioned for by the barge
line, subject only to Z Limitation that
the rail carriers should not be re-
quircd to make these where the use
OF the barge facilities would consider
ably lengthen hauls as compared will,

ton It refused to allow the barge-rail
rates to be 20 per cent lower than ex-
isting rail rates in all cases, and ses-
tablished 10 per cent differential q
sufficient on routes where the use ol

Further the commission denied the

which enables a farmer to begin to

Improvement work.
The board voted to omit the
name of the owner and the breed
from publicity as given in the
past on standard herds. Board
members felt that these facts had
tendency to create more or less
dissatisfaction and that while hero
owners may still compare theil
herds with other herds in the asso.
citation, that they may not always
know as to just whose herd they
are making comparison.

APPLE FERTILIZATION


The question of apple fertiliza-
ton seems to be one which is up
permost in the minds of many of
the orchardists of the county. Be-
lieving ourselves that this is one
of the problems which growers
need to give thought and atten-
ton to, we have written the gen.
eral articles on fertilization which
have been running in the county
papers during the past. just what
farmers may expect from ferti-
lizers is more or less question.
This will depend somewhat upon
the nature of the fertilizers and
the percentage composition upon
the basis of fertilizing elements.
BY that we mean that fertilizers
made up largely of organic mater
ials and Incorporated in the upper
six or eight inches of the soil and
there being broken down, may not
have the least benefits nor bring
about the actual root development
of the tree which is wanted. 1t may
be that these materials will break
down more slowly and spread out
over longer period of time but in
our judgment real soil benefits
will, as far as Improvement Of the
physical condition of the soils is
concerned, be brought about to
much greater extent by the de-
velopment of a good cover crop
than by the incorporation of or
ganic fertilizer constituents. The
percentage of fertilizer elements,
including nitrates, phosphates and
potash, we believe to be important
and are glad to see the fertilizer
manufacturers shifting from a g.
1910 fertilizer to one containing
more nitrates or a fertilizer of a
5-10-10 or 6-10-10 composition. In
our judgment there is too much
potash in this fertilizer, but one

dition. Anderson, however, feels
that probably some of these birds
were birds which would ordinarily
have been culls anyway. When
asked as to whether he would fol-
low this method of vaccination an
other year he stated that he was
not sure yet.
Chicken pox has been one of the
real problems for the poultrymen
in some of our communities where
it has reappeared year after year
and an attempt is being made to
check up on the methods of con-
troll so as to enable farmers to have
the best information as to methods
which are proving satisfactory
from all angles.

The Advantage of Big Feet in
Athletics

Well, folks, as have such small
feet I am hardly able to discuss
the subject intelligently, but on
comforting with Joe Hatch, who IS
sensitive on the subject (corns) J,
/ found that they certainly aid
him.
Now. for instance, he was tell
ing me about one time when he
was pursued by the "thundering
herd" and was about to he tackled
he just ran little while in one
place and with those SCOOP show
els" dug such a deep pit that the
whole works piled in. Whereupon
Joe made a touch down and saved
the day for his old "Alma Ia
mater"
The other day Mac-Hi was caus-
ing Hatch some trouble in the CEN
ter of the line; they were r unnlng
over him a great deal until final
ly he conceived the idea of just
living down and sticking out his
feet. Needless to say he tripped
up the whole gang; thus stopping
the onslaught on yardage.
Sometimes this understanding"
proves a bit embarrassing. This
summer our patient" was. out
trout fishing. It seems that he was
standing in a stream on some of
the rocks with his toes bridging
across to more rocks. He was
standing there calmly fishing
when some wise passer-by piped
up and said, "Say, stranger, didn't
your mother tell you it was dan
,gerous to stand up in canoe 2"

HERD IMPROVEMENT ASSo-
CATION BOARD MEETS

The Board of Directors for the
Benton County Herd Improvement
association met at the county
agents office, Thursday, Novem-
Der 14th, to consider matters con-
corning the handling of the bust
ness for the Herd Improvement
association for the coming year. A
QUESTIONABLE had been sent to all
members of the Association test
ing last year., requesting that they
fill out the blank for the numbers
of cows to be tested. Ted Newell,
the tester for the joint Walla Wal
La end Benton County association,
stated that a check up on the herds
showed that there were about II
farmers dropping out but that the
larger numbers of these were those
who were hard to reach because
of their being in outlying sec
tions. According to NewelPs re-
port, 160 cows were continuing test
on the farmer sample plan and that
211 would be on test on the stand
ard plan. The York herd in the
Richland community expects to
start testing with the first of the
year. This herd will come in on the
standard plan with approximately
IS cows.
The members Of the board ex-
pressed themselves as being well
satisfied with the results Of the
testing work during the last year
and are anxious to see as many
farmers as possible continue to
take up the work for the coming
year.

citation will be prepared during the

CHICKEN Pox

Some poultrymen of the county
are again having considerable
trouble with chicken pox. A year
ago last summer, seven flocks OF
the county were vaccinated with a
new vaccine prepared by the vet
erinarian at the Western Exper-
mental station. These flocks were
vaccinated more or less as an ex-
pertinent to determine control pos
sible in this section with this vac
cine. Several of the flocks vaccin-
ated came through last winter in
good shape while several others
contracted chicken pox during the
fall and early winter and apparent
ly went thru the usual contagion.
This matter was taken up with the
w. w. experiment station and
we were informed that they had
had the same thing occur in some
of the flocks on the west side and
that it was apparently due to lack
men in favor Of this type of vac
of virulence Of the vaccine. This
situation left some of the poultry
men in favor of this type Of vac
cination and others as rather OPP
posed to it.
This year two of our poultrymen
in the Kennewick community have
vaccinated with this type of vac
cine, secured from one of the man.
ufacturing houses in the East, at
the suggestion of DR.. Johnson of
the Oregon station, who was one
Of the first men to perfect this
type of vaccine.
Mr.. Ranlett, who vaccinated a
flock, reports that the vaccine took
with the birds in good shape and
that he lost only one bird of the
flock vaccinated and that the birds
did not show very much reaction to
the vaccination as far as going
out of condition Or off feed was
concerned. Mr.. Ranlett states that
he has seen no evidence of chicken
pox in the flock this fall or winter
so far and his pullet flock is lay
ing exceedingly well.
George Anderson, who also vac
cinated his flock here from the
same source Of vaccine, reports no
chicken pox showing up in the
flock this fall, but said that fol-
lowing the vaccination, numbers
of the birds were droopy and off
iced for some period and that when
the flock was put into the laying
house that quite a percentage of
them seemed to be still out Of con-

FRIEND HANNAH

One of the most important
events of the Senior year will
soon he here-the Senior play.
3Friend Hannah" by Paul kester,
is the play which Miss Rusnton
has selected.
"Friend Hannah" is production
which well merits the word "dlf-
.ferent." 1t is not of the usual type
of high school plays; it has humor,
rich and clever, but not the OBJ
yious type; it has tragedy, but
still it is not tragical. The scene
is laid in England, over century
and half ago, in a Quaker town,
vet the action is never slow or the
plot dull.
Friend Hannah Lightfoot is a
conscientious prim Quaker maid
with repressed inward desires for
a freedom which is not allowed by
the Quaker religion. Then there is
Betsy Trott. Hannah's best friend
and confidant in all her manifold
wrongdoings." and Mrs. Margaret
Lightfoot, Hannah's mother, who
loves her daughter, but still cannot
reconcile her ways to her own
creed.
Uncle Thomas, stern old Quak-
er, flattery-loving nevertheless, is
set upon Hannah's marriage to
Issac, whose worth is thing new
er disputed, especially in Issac's
own mind.
The Prince of Wales, alias Mr..
George Tudor, is the hero and that
alone should make the play. His
brother, Edward of York, and his
friend, Charles of Chandos, have
particularly clever parts. Lord
Butte, prime minister of England,
and Augusta Dowager Princess,
also figure prominently in the
plot. Clearly. royalty is not neg
lected in this play.
Last but not least, there is the
gossiping postboy, Robert Clegg,
who has as much nose for news"
as any modern scandal-monger.
Tryouts were commenced last
week and will be completed some
time this week. There is close
competition for most of the roles
and much interest is manifested
as to the final assignment of the
parts.

GLENN GETS REPLY
ON ORIGINS CHARGE
Reed and HefIin Deny U. S.
Sentiment Against Germans
Back of Fight.

Charges by Senator Glenn, Republi-
can, of Illinois that "a feeling against
the German people" actuated the en-
deavors to retain the national origins
system of arriving at immigration
quotas led to a spirited debate in the
Senate yesterday
Denial of the contention was made
by Senators Reed. Republican, of Penn
sylvania and Hef1in, Democrat, of
Alabama. They claimed that the
American people merely disliked the
Kaiser and the German war lords and
had never held any hatred for the Ger
man people As a class.
Under the national origins appor-
tionment, which will go into effect July
l unless repealed. as has been recon-
mended by President Hoover, Germany
would lose large share OF its present
apportionment. along with Sweden,
Norway and Denmark. Great Britain
would be the chief gamer.
In an effort to compose the contro-
versy between those who favor and OPP
pose national origins, Senator Allen,
Republican, of Kansas offered joint
resolution designed to postpone its eff
fective date until July l, 1880, and to
appoint a congressional committee to
investigate basis of immigration in
order to develop more scientific Sc
lectivity" of immigration.
The Senate has reached no agree
ment for a vote on the resolution of
Senator Nye, Republican. of North
Dakota to discharge the Senate immi-
grafton committee from further con-
sheraton of the national origins con-
troverSy. However. as Senator Robin
son of Arkansas, the Democratic leader,
was expected to return to Washington
today, an agreement was to be sought.
