ing to worry about. Quality must
be maintained, however, if this is
to be the case.
GOOD CROP ROTATION
AIDS SOIL BUILDING
First Step in Rebuilding Run Down
Soils-Leguminous Plants Play
Big Role-Alternate Crops

Adopting a good crop rotation
on land which is rapidly becoming
marginal is the first step in re-
building the soil, according to E.
C. Durdle, county extension agent,
Washington State College. Many
soils in the state have already
reached the stage where crop rota-
ton is essential if fertility is to
be restored and maintained.
A good rotation aims first at
the maintenance of fertility. Le-
guminous crops should be includ-
ed in the rotation because they
add nitrogen to the soil and main
tain the organic matter so essen
tial to the physical conditions of
the soil. Crop rotation makes the
best use of the soil by alternating
deep and shallow rooted crops. In
sect pests and plant diseases may
often be controlled by the proper
rotation.
Not only does a good rotation aid
fertility. but it also adds desir-
able stability to the farm program.
The farm where the owner makes
his program from year to year,
based on the immediate future,
will soon find some of his land
seriously over cropped. A good
crop rotation system can be chang
ed to meet market conditions just
as quickly as the haphazard sys-
TEN of farming. Planting of par
ticular crop may be varied either
one way or the other. New crops
in the same class of plants may be
used when necessary and the es-
sential balance of the rotation will
not be disturbed.
One of the important things in
planning a good crop rotation is
to make. certain that every acre
on the farm has some leguminous
crop on it at least once in five
years. Even where the farm is so
handled that there is quite little
manure avaible. the maintenance
of a leguminous crop in the rota-
ton is advisable. In addition to

STATE CHAMBER TO
STUDY FERTILIZERS
Uniform Recommendations For
Various Soil Conditions to Save
Farmers Coin

A comprehensive study of fer
tilizers for the various sections Of
the state is being undertaken as
one of the activities of the State
Chamber of Commerce. The first
meeting on this subject was held
at Seattle the first of the week,
which was attended by County
Agent E. c. Durdle, representing
the extension department of the
State College. The meeting was
composed of Smith Hughes repre-
sentatives, county agents and deal
ers in fertilizers.
So many wild claims have been
made for various commercial fer
tilizers and so much money has
been lost in experimenting with
them that the chamber has gone
into the matter with the purpose
of clearing up and offering sub
stantial information regarding
them. This information is all Sc
cured from actual test plots under
official observation and will be
made available as soon as proper
checks have been completed.
DR.. Vandercayve, head of the
soil department. at the college, and
acknowledged to be the leading
authority on soils in the North
west, was present at the meeting
and stated that in his opinion the
state chamber of commerce had
accomplished much of value to the
farmer in calling the meeting
which will be the first of series
Of similar meetings.

A NEED FOR TREE SPACING

Observations of many orchards
of the county still shows the need
of removal of trees so as to give
remaining trees room to spread
and thus allow plenty of sunshine
SO as to produce extra fancy grades
instead of a large percentage of
&c" grades as many of these or
chards are doing. Providing insect
pests are controlled, particularly
the red spider, and an excess of nj
trogen is not used in fertilization,
as far as color is concerned the
large part of the crop will be ex-
ira fancy if the trees are getting
sufficient room to spread and of
course the proper amount of prun-
ing is done. We might say, at least
for our Jonathans, Delicious and
Winesaps that the red color is the
natural thing if the trees are CIV
en- chance. In many orchards
failure to get this depends largely
upon removal of trees or tree spac-
ing to such point that the re-
manning trees can have sunlight in
all parts.
Apple growers know well that it
has been almost impossible to even
make money on extra fancy this
year. What would have been the
situation had all or a large part of
our &C" grades been removed from
the market? At the same time
that we have been losing one hum
dred million apple trees, produc-
tion has been going up and it is
principally the production of off
grades that has hurt principally
our western markets. The remov-
al of sufficient trees to allow the
fruit on the remaining trees to be-
come extra fancy as far as color
is concerned providing it was prac-
ticed thruout the entire apple or
chards of the entire apple growing
sections of the west and would
certainly do much to change the
situation. The removal OF these
trees in the individual orchard
should at least place that individ-
ual farmer in better position as

matter, legumes are highly essen
tial to the bacterial life of the soil.
Fruit tree acreage and other
crops which cannot be rotated must
have the soil maintained through
manures, cover crops and CONNER
cial fertilizers.

far as the marketing problem is
concerned. 1t would seem that this
year of all years would be a good
year to remove the surplus trees
and thus enable the grower from
the standpoint of color, at least, to
materially improve the quality of
crop.

AGRICULTURAL SITUATION

A brief review of the general
agricultural situation would seem
more than ever to point to the
necessity of the individual farmer
watching expenditures very close
ly for the year 1892. Feed costs
should be studied carefully with
the idea of determining whether
they can be purchased more cheap
ly then they can be raised on the
farm and if not then the farm
program apparently should in
clude one for home production of
as much of the feed supply as pos
sible. Certainly we would say
that no farmer this year should
find it necessary to purchase his
roughage or coarse grains if the
farm lends itself at all to the
growing of these crops. As the
situation in the various enterprises
is pointed out below keep the
above statement in mind and see
whether it may be true.
Survey of the hig situation has
shown an increase of nine percent
in the number in 1881 over 1880
for the whole country. Since there
is still difference in favor of the
northwest markets it is possible
that we could increase our hogs
slightly here in the northwest.
Storage stocks Of hogs were larger
on January / than the previous
year but not greatly different than
the five year average for TIL at
date. There has been, however, a |
decrease in consumer demands in
this county and Germany and Den
mark have increased production
considerably abroad which has in
terfered with markets.
The number of beef cattle on
farms during the year increased
"a percent over January, 1881.
There has been a steady increase
for four years in the beef cattle |
industry. We are in cycle which
would tend to show that numbers
will still increase. If one has a
situation where beef cattle can be
raised very economically then it |
probably would pay at least to
hold ones own in the industry.
Sheep numbers increased again
in 1881 with a two percent in
crease over January /, 1881. The
increase has amounted to 40 per-
cent ever January 1, 1922, which
was TIE low point from which
numbers have raised. without IN
PERMISSION until they are now the
largeste on record in this country.
The estimated average value per
head of sheep and lambs on Janu-
airy 1, 1892 was only $3.40 conlpar-
ed with $5.35, January 1881, and
1892, January 1880. 1t is the low
est average since 1904.
Price of dairy products during
the past two years have decreased
less than the average for all farm
products by some 80 percent. Dairy
prices have followed approximately
the price level for all commodities
where as farm products as a group
have fallen far below that level.
Likewise feed prices have fallen
much lower than dairy prices. Dur
ing last year there was an increase
of 8 LIZ percent over January OF |
1881. However, there is rather
marked tendency for the falling
off in the raising of heifers. With
the average price of dairy prod
ucts having not fallen to the level
of other products and the fact that
the dairy cow gives the farmer an
opportunity to at least get some
cash income one could expect farm
ers to hold onto the dairy enter
prises and every farmer who pos
sibly can to start milking a few
cows. It would seem that with our

Norwegian government Wednesday
had decided to occupy another thii,
strip of Greeland, the whole of whose
area is under Danish sovereignty, al
leging the step is necessary to protect
the rights of Norwegian residents
there.
The strip to be occupied under the
governments new decision, an
nounced Tuesday night, is two miles
wide and extends between latitude
go degrees and 80 minutes and 60
degrees and 40 minutes.
Almost exactly year ago Norway
occupied larger piece of the east

75:4O and 7l:30. Denmark had claim
ed sovereignty over this area for
years and the question was taken to
the Hague court for arbitration,
where it is still under consideration.
Announcing the latest move, the
government explained it was forced
to make the occupation as a meas
ure Of defense because Denmark had
givea police authority to its expedi-
tons to East Greenland this year, and
consequently authority also over Nor
wegian citizens who have settled and
arc earning their living in those re-
gions.

If this attempt succeeds, Denmark
probably will also try to close East
Greenland to -Norwegians as soon as
