er boy reports: Club work has en-
abled me to build UP purebred
Holstein herd, valued at more than
81 900 besides calves sold this year
at 1885," Frequent mention is
made Of scholarships won to col
leges, trips to camps and fairs,
and money prizes.
Earnings from club activities
are utilized in about five differ
ent ways, according to the analy-
sis made of the reports. About
one-third of those reporting said
their earnings were applied to
school and college expenses. Per-
sonal needs absorbed II percent
of the earnings. Another II per,
cent was invested. In most cases
the investment was in livestock OF
other farm property. Twelve per.
cent went into permanent savings
Home improvements were paid
for by 6.3 percent of the money
obtained. Fifteen percent of the
members in the survey did not re.
port on their incomes.

Ole Brue of Kennewick has
seeded about an acre and half
to sweet clover, orchard and bro
mus grass as a pasture mixture
for his few head of dairy cows and
the two horses used in the oper-
alton of his small farm. Mr.. Brue
runs on this small pasture four
head of dairy stock in addition to
the two horses and finds that they
are having difficulty in keeping
this pasture down. On several oc-
casions he has had to cut areas
which have grown up so that the
stock have been inclined to leave
it. AS in nearly all instances where
the pasture chop has been given
good trial, Mr.. Brus feels that
a pasture crop is one of the best
investments that the farmer can
make. Pasture offers ideal feed
ing for stock during the summer
months and stock can secure it at
a minimum of effort on the part
of the farmer. Anyone in the COM
munity interested in this partic-
ular pasture may observe it from
the road running south of Kenne-
wick just opposit the Washington
Street sc hool.

WASHINGTON REAPS
BIG WHEAT CROP
Nine Million Bushels Increase
Over 1889 Yield Seen-3O, 0OO,-
600 Bushel Drop in Yield

Federal statistics placing the
1881 wheat yield of the II west
ern states at a little over 175,-
100000 bushels as compared to a
production of slightly under 205,-
O0O,OO0 bushels in 1880, serve to
slightly brighten the prospects
for the bumper wheat crop of the
state of Washington for 1881,
which is estimated at 50,500,000
bushels as compared to about 41,-
600, 900 bushels in 1880, says Leon
ard Hegnauer, extension agro-
nomist, Washington state college.
Present negotiations for the ex-
port of United States wheat may
also have favorable influence on
prices.
In the United States the total
crop is now estimated at 1863, 000,-
600 bushels or 100000 bushels
larger than the revised figures for
last year. However on account of
a smaller production in Canada in
prospect, the total North American
crop will be fully 150,000,000 bu-
shells below chat of last year.
To protect wheat growers
from low prices resulting from the
world wide decline in wheat
prices, most of the large import
ing countries have raised their
tariffs, or have adopted other
measures which restrict the inn
portation of foreign wheat, in or
der to rails prices of their home
grown wheat above the world
level.
The uncertainty of tariffs and
milling restrictions, together with
financial difficulties in European
countries, have tended to reduce
the amount of wheat stocks which
dealers in importing countries are
willing to carry and increase the
burden of stocks in the exporting
countries.
It appears that low prices are
causing wheat acreage to be re-
duced. Several of the countries
producing wheat for export are be-
ginning to show signs of this.
Russia is the one exception. Rus

MANILA, November 1.-the newly
appointed independence Commission,
which will sail for the United States
soon, was given a free hand by the
Legislature today to deal with Congress.
Senator Sergio Osmena and Speaker
Manuel Roxas of the House of Repre-
sentatives, leaders of the commission,
will leave November 26 in order to be
in Washington shortly after Congress
conveneS. Others on the commission
probably will leave December 5.
The commissioners agreed during a
conference with Manuel Quezon, presi
dent of the Senate and chairman OF the
committee, that immediate independ-
ence for the islands is unlikely.
Quezon advised the commissioners to
seek approval of their plan for an au-
tonomous government with restricted
vegetable oil and sugar exports and re-
stricted emigration. A vote on inoe-
tendance would be held at the end of
10 years. Quezon will be unable to go
with the commission Immediately be-
cause Of illness, but hopes to follow it
to America later.
The leaders expressed great hope
they would be able to get concessions,
although some fear was expressed that
the granting of concessions would en-
tail tariff restrictions. Roxas will carry
two trunkloads of data to Washington.

by the Associated PreSs.
MEDIA, Pa, November 14.-Au-
thorities today were without a clue to
aid in their investigation of the
identity of skeleton of woman found
in the woods near Newtown Square.
The skeleton was found late yester-
day near the Carrot Williamson Lodge
estate. ohicials said they believed
suicide was the cause of death.
Police have asked the New York
headquarters of the Carrot Williamson
Lodge to search their records for
missing persons, but said they hold
little hope that this will lead to
identification.
High-heeled shoes and an examina-
ton OF the teeth led authorities to
believe the woman was under 3O She
was about feet inches tall and
weighed 100 pounds.
