OF Interest To Farmers
Answers Wanted to Farm
Questionnaires Sent out

To date, too few of the question
mares sent out by the County Agent
have been returned to the office. This
step was taken at the request of
farmers of one of the communities
and we believe offers possibility of real
assistance to the farmer who may
have surplus of hay to sell. Mar
kets secured upon facts are apt to
be more favorable to all concerned
and more apt to promote better rela-
tionship in the future than markets Sc
cured through lack of information.
According to recent news reports,
feed loans are to be made to farmers
in some of the western states This
should strengthen the hay market as
it will give growers in these states
money with which to purchase feed
where previously it was felt that farm
ers would have to rough stock through
on anything available wherever this
was at all possible.
If you have not returned that cues
tionnaire received within the last
week, please look it up, fill out, and
return to the county agents office
as soon as possible A lack of re-
plies will indicate a lack of interest
and the matter may be dropped.

80 Defective Children
In Benton County

A report compiled by the county SUI
perintendent of schools shows that
there are thirty-nine defective chill
dren in Benton county. Twelve of
these children are classed as feeble
minded, four are epileptic, six are
crippled, six more are suffering from
the result OF infantile paralysis, four
have cleft palates, two are deaf, and
two are Monaghan idiots.
Fourteen of the detectives arc able
TO attend the public school, eighteen
are kept at home, and the remaining
seven are in private or state insti-
buttons.
Parents of feeble minded children,
who are unable to care for them prop
erly, may receive financial help from
the county, through the county COM
missioners, in transporting them to the
State Custodial School and other state
institutions.

LOOKING AHEAD

Districts like this valley, with it's unlimited wader sup
ply earlness proximity to the natural gas and prospec
tive oil wells and the largest mdeveoped water power
site in the country and with it's millions Of tons of pottery
and tile clay and glass sand have far better chance for
growth and Development the country energies from
the depression than have the older districts ON the Coast
where the industries have nearly approached the
peak of production.
This is the belief Of representative Of of the arg
est banks in Seattle who visitor here a short time
ago.
This authority concerned over the future of the lum
Der industry Wood substitutes such stucco concrete
brick tile and stone being used i'm about half Of
the buildings being constructed he said, which
is greatly curtailng the lumber consumption and is tend
ing to forecast rather uncertain future for the lumber
industry.

Cattle. Outlook

The cattle outlook for the next few
years is relatively favorable despite
the present low prices. since the actual
number of cattle in the United States
is still small Supplies OF cattle rel
alive to human population are not
much above the recent low point, &C.
cording to r. NJ Turner, extension &C.
onomist, Washington State College.
While good pasture and feed condi-
lions have prevailed this season in
most sections in Washington, severe
drouths exist in Montana, Nevada,
California and portions of Wyoming,
Utah, Idaho and Oregon and Colo
RADIO. The movement of cattle from
the dry areas will likely be 80 to 60
days earlier this year than usual.
There has been growing demand
for good beef on the Pacific Coast.
When improvement in the business
situation occurs it can be expected to
reflect favorably on the demand for
beef. Wheat growers with supplies of
alfalfa hay and sweet clover pasture
will likely be inclined to increase or
develop small herds of beef cattle, as
a possible adjustment in Washington.
The sharp drop in cattle prices dur
ing the first half of 1881 was due
largely to the falling off in consumer
demand since the supply was but little
different than during the first half of
1880. This drop in prices carried the
level of prices Of all kinds of cattle
to the lowest level in nearly 20 years.

opinion that if the manure had been
applic1 through the winter OF late
tall that the increased yield might
have been noticed much earlier.
If one figures the cost of the fertil-
ization in these two cases, one against
the other, it can readily be seen that
the superphosphate has given a much
cheaper increase than has the man
ure 1t would seem advisable to use
the manures on other crops and then
possibly to apply the superphosphate
just ahead of the alfalfa seeding

farm for alfalfa to give poor yields

Fertilization Plot Shows
Results of Phosphates

The alfalfa fertilization plot on the
Jens Lande place is showing greater
difference in results of the various fer
tilted plots as time goes on. Last
week, just before the hay was cut, it
was very easy to tell just where the
phosphates, with the exception of the
raw-rock phosphate, had been applied
on this field. Every plot receiving
phosphate in an available FORM either
as superphosphate 10 per cent or IS
ammonium phosphate 46 per cent, was
outstanding as far as the yield was
concerned as compared to the nitrogen
alone or the plot receiving no fertil-
izer.
This year for the first time, super
phosphate 10 per cent and rawrock
phosphate were applied on strip be-
low the other fertilized plots. This
super was applied at the rate Of 500
pounds per acre at cost of 81 per
acre, while the raW-rock was applied
at the rate of 1000 pounds per acre
at a cost of SIS. The third cutting
from these two plots shows that the
super phosphate is yielding on the
third cutting five times as much hay
as the raw-rock plot. In fact, the
raw-rock plot shows no improvement
whatever over the normal unfertil-
lied alfalfa in this strip The plots
having superphosphate on them are
outstanding, not only in the quality of
hay, lacking growth of any OF the
weeds so prevalent on the field where
the fertilizer or the raW-rock was used
If the entire field had cut no more
hay than was on the unfertilized or
the raw-rock phosphate, the field
would hardly have been worth pulling
a mower into. The available phos-
pilates, however, have produced a good
crop of hay on this field for Mr. Lande
We do not Recommend that super
phosphate be used on all alfalfa fields
as there are unquestionably many
fields which have secured sufficient
phosphates from manures, or other
fertilizers which have been applied and
possibly some fields which have not
yet come to the time when phosphates
need to be applied. Mr.. w. T. Elliott
has secured outstanding results on a
field which he has fertilized with barn
yard manure. The use of 16 tons of
manure to the acre increased the yield
approximately &c per cent on the
third cutting. Mr.. Elliott states that
the yield on the third cutting was pos
sibly a little better than that on the
] first and second and that it was his

Pasture Management

Although pasture grasses are good
sources of vitamins, minerals, and, in
many cases, of highs grade protein, the
nutritive value of any pasturage varies
greatly with different stages of growth
Young grass, consisting largely OF
leaves with little stalk, is richer in
protein and soluble carbohydrates and
is more readily digestible than older
grass which has more stalk.

average age of youths competing in

is II and IS years.
Illinois prep athletic officials re-
Gently lowered their limit to 20
years of age. One Of the strong
est arguments against the 21-year-
old limit in this state, according to
Trester, is the fact that many
youths, after graduating from the
common schools, fail to enter high
school Immediately. They join in
dependent teams, develop more
rapidly than the high school young
sterS and then return to school to
compete against younger boys.
Regardless of the decision, to-
nights debate on this subject prob
ably will be filled with fireworks.
Preseason football practice and
games also is likedly to come up
for discussion. 1t is urged that
practice under direction of coaches
be prohibited before Sept. to
eliminate August and early Septem-

elimination of many summer

drill under coaches.
