Fertilizer Conference
Is Well Attended

The state fertilizer council meet
ing held at Seattle Monday Febru-
airy Is, and attended by representatives
of the state horticultural association,
dairy association, the Grange, farm
bureau and the fertilizer industry, was
well attended. Nearly everyone who
had been appointed to this council
was in attendance.
The fundamental purpose of the
council was to develop common Ian
guage of conversation on the part of
all interested in fertilizers whether
recommending them from the technical
standpoint or from the sales end or
from the purchasing end of the deal.
We believe very much was accomp-
lished from this angle.
Another main purpose was to SIM
plify the recommendations to be made
to the grower of the various regions
of the state and for the many crops
on the different soil types. These rec
concentrations were based upon the
result of definite work done at the
Experiment Stations, and in addition
to this, results of some 260 plots, vary
ing from to 16 separate plots with
in each of these 260 plots. These plots
have been under the supervision of
county agents, and Smith Hughes in
structors in the state and results from
them have been forwarded to the COL
| lege for analysis. AS definite recon-
mendations as were possible have been
made following the summing up of
these various tests, and these will be
made available to the various sections
of the state as son as the complete
record has been finally summarized
and made available.
| The final standardization for field
crops was made by Dr. S. G. Vande-
caveye, head of the department of soils
and soil fertility at the State College.
| The summary for the tree fruits for
eastern Washington was made by Mr..
Overley of the Wenatchee branch sta
ton. The summary for the truck crops
of western Washington was made by
H. D. Locklin of the western Wash
ington station and the summary for
the truck crops of the early sections
of the state, by county agent of Ben
/ ton county in cooperation with H. P.
Singleton of the Irrigation Branch ex-
pertinent station at Prosser and Mr..
H. G. Burgess, county agent of Walla
Walla.
AS soon as the complete report is
available, as finally summed up by DR..
Vandecaveye, the detailed information
for the various crops of this section
will be made available through the
local press.

TEETH

Clearly we know that teeth have
Nerves, but are they possessed OF
Brains" too? Evidently, yes; for they
seem to KNOW exactly the attitude
you take toward them.
Treat them right, and there they
stand in dog-like fashion ready to
serve you. Abuse and neglect them
and there they stand ready to leave
you-but not before they have struck
back and wreaked their vengeance in
the form of pain and suffering.
Sighting your teeth or neglecting
your gums is therefore a losing pro-
position. You lose your sleep, you lose
your health you lose your money and
above all you lose your teeth. All of
which goes to show that dental eX-
animation every six months is good
thing.
Dental examination is regular SER
vice which I render without charge OF
obligation.

Mothers and Daughters banquet
three years ago.
The Fathers and Sons banquet has
come to be an annual Island affair
to which the men and boys look for
ward; and 1t is to be hoped that the

daughters can become an annual

such banquet was given by the
Burton ladies it was well patronized
and provided an evenings entertain
ment, with mothers and daughters
meeting on an equality that was re-

School Pupil Injured
In Coasting Accident

During the snow Of last week a
coasting accident occurred on the
cemetery hill, the most serious of re-
cent years, the victims being three
high school boys.
One of the sleds ran into loose snow
and stopped so suddenly that the
momentum carried Its riders off. The
night was particularly dark and the
occupants of the sled coming down
the hill behind the first one did not
see what had just happened and ran
into the first sled. ramming into the
boys who had been upset.
Louis Schmidt was the most serious
iously injured, receiving a bad abb
dominal cut that required several
stitches. New complications have de-
veloped and the boys condition is
more serious than was first thought.
Donald Garfield received a cut chin
that required several stitches, while

GOOD MUSIC FOR CLUB DANCE

According to rumors the party
scheduled for Saturday night. Febru-
airy 18th, at the Island Club is going
to be one of the best of the winter.
It is surprising how many are plan
ming on donning the garb of young
STEERS. 1t is evident that there will
not be great deal Of dignity dis
played on this occasion. All those
who bring their dignity or come
dressed as grown-ups will have to
pay a fine. The exact amount has
not been stated but it will not be
enough to embarrass anyone.
If present plans materialize there
will be four piece orchestra for
those who want to dance. For those
who do not care to dance there will
be plenty of other amusements plan
ned.
There will be a door prize and prizes
for the most suitable costumes, both
men and women.

w. Caulkus, all of the experiment sta
ton at Puyallup. This group Of men

work they have been presenting. The
meeting will be at the Island Club,

need any introduction. Mr.. Miller will
speak on various phases of brooding;
DR.. Sawyer will talk on diseases of
chickens, preventative measures, etc.;
while DR.. Caulkus will announce his
own subject when he arrives.
Needless to say there will be turn
out of poultry raisers to hear what
message of cheer these experts will
have at time like this when eggs
have dropped to the lowest level in
years. With eggs at is cents dozen
it takes lot of faith and courage to
continue.

words of appreciation of the work OF

followed. Mr.. Wilson traced the his
tory of the hospital from the first
meeting in 1907, in which year the
first land was purchased. In 1908, the
first hospital was built, a little frame
cottage with 10 beds, known as the

building was erected; In 1920 fourth
floor added to that building. In 1928,

of paying for the care of crippled
children in the ward in Seattle Gen
eral Hospital amounted to $1,000. The
expenses for 1881 were $4,000, an
average of nearly $4,000 a month.
The annual interest from the Endow-
ment Fund built up from requests and
gifts since the beginning pays little
more than one months expenses so
the cost of the operation for the other
eleven months must be raised by the
devoted membership and their friends.
