Gun Collection
Loaned to W.S.c.
Beste Sends Interesting
Exhibit to College
Museum

The fine collection of guns and
swords, belonging to F. F. Beste
has been sent to Pullman. The
school requested the privilege OF
displaying the various pieces in It's
museum.
For more than twenty years Mr..
Beste has been collecting interest
ing weapons of various sorts. He
now has one of the most complete
collections in the state. Some of the
guns have interesting records and
others, which look equally interest
ing, have only surmises connected
with them.
For instance, one of the old
time flint locks was found on the
bottom of the Columbia river. 1t
was of a make which would indi-
cate that one of the very earliest
pioneers in this far western coun-
try carried it. One of the hammers
is rusted open at full cock. How
easy to imagine that it's last own
er had been standing up in boat,
taking aim at a hostel Indian when
he was shot, toppled into the wa
ter before he could fire!
The collection consists of seven
ty or more pieces and, while no
definite price can be set upon such
articles, nevertheless from a coll
lector's point of view, it is very
valuable.
Each article in the collection has
been tagged and numbered. The
histories of some of the most in
teresting are:
1. Gamblers side arm, used in
the gold rush in California.
2. Colt house pistol.
8. Four barrel pistol, revolving
firing pin.
5. The kind of gun Lincoln was
shot with.
6. Colt, the gun carried to Fit.

Sand Burr

Following the cutting of the sec
ond crop of alfalfa on the alfalfa
fertilizer demonstration plot on
the Jens Lande farm at Finley
recommendation was made to MIR.
Lande that the field be narrowed
with spike-tooth harrow with the
teeth set fairly straight but slant
ed to the back, as means of con-
trolling the sand burr, as well as
other weeds in the field. The field
was narrowed in good shape then
rolled and irrigated. At this time
the field shows no sand burrs. Mr..
Lande always makes a practice
of irrigating or 8 days just pre-
ceding cutting.

brush in 1908 and have been in al
falfa approximately two thirds of
the time since, and in cultivated
crops such as corn and potatoes the
other third These plots have both
been fortified in the spring for
the last two seasons but it is ques-
sionable whether phosphate would
be needed oftener than every 9TH
er year and possibly only one year
in three if applied at the rate of
600 pounds per acre.
Using the results secured from
the alfalfa plots and checking
these against the results noticeable
on the other crops it would seem
that the following general conclu-
sions might be drawn. All other
crops on which fertilizers have
been applied have shown a very
definite response to nitrate fertil-
izer. From 10 to 80 pounds of a
6-1O-10 combination has been APP
piled to apples and in one instance
as much as 10 lbs. ammonia sui
phate last year, and Is pounds
this year have been applied per
tree. From observation made re-
Gently one seems justified in draw
ing the conclusions that the 80 lbs.
of 6-1O-10, is too heavy an appli-
cation of nitrates and certainly
the heavier application of ammon-
ia-sulphate was too heavy. Care
must be taken that too much nj
trate is not applied SO as to pre-
vent too heavy leaf and twig
growth and the consequent fail
ure of apples to not color.
Four tons of alfalfa hay remove
95 IL pounds of potash from the
soil, which is SO percent more than
is removed by 6 81 tons of pota-
toes. Since the alfalfa has not
shown definite increases in yields
sufficient to pay for the potash
application it would seem that the
use of fertilizer carrying such a
high percentage of potash is not
necessary and in fact is just
throwing money away. Careful OBJ
servation of trees fortified with
fertilizer carrying 10 percent pot
ash does not show any improve
ment in color over trees fertilized
with fertilizer carrying no potash.
This is right in keeping with re-
suits secured by the Arkansas sta
ton in careful conducted expert
ment running over 5 years.
Phosphate having shown the
marked results that it has on al
falfa and being required in pract-
ically double the quantity for A.
ton alfalfa crop as 6 ga ton pota-
to crop has much more possibility
of being shown to be needed for a
fruit crop, in our judgment than
has the potash.
Our general recommendations
for fertilizers for other crops, than
legumes on the basis of work done
would be the 6-10-4 combination
adding the percent potash to the
nitrate phosphate combination
merely as a guarantee against the
potash being needed by any crop.
It is possible that following two
or three years Of the demonstra-
ton work, that more potash may
be shown to be necessary for GER
tain crops and also possible that
it may be shown that less potash
is necessary.
Fertilizer plots started this year
will be continued for 5-year per-
iod and it is expected that new
plots will he started on other crops
such as potatoes, lettuce and
melons.
