A PEEK INTO THE FUTURE

Using the last census report and other reliable
data basis, statisticians have it figured out
that the population in the United States is near
ing it's peak; that the death rate is creeping up
the combined birth rate and immigration and that
barring an increase in the number Of births
modification of the present immigration laws the
population will begin to decrease not later than
1850
With these conclusions as a setup, these statis-
ticians then present interesting picture Of the
effects of such condition on the social economic
and political life of the country.
One of these is the slowing down or complete
stop in the growth of cities, towns and commun-
tiles have known it in the past. A locality
would show an increase in population only at the
expense of some other place. which would mean
that growth would be confined to those favored
places that offered the greatest returns in money!
comfort and associations
We do not know how clearly these prophets can
into the future but if they are correct and the
people here, through the irrigation district, can ac-
quire title to the Priest Rapids power site and
develop it to it's full capacity and with our un-
limited water supply and the earliness of the dis
trict, the Priest Rapids Valley in the language of
the street, ought to be ''sitting pretty"

Early and Late Onion
Seed Now Available

Since we have been able to get little
information in regard to onion varieties
on this side of the river, and knowing
that there were quite few raised
about Pasco we have written Mr.. Ing
ham asking for information on var
ieties raised there and time Of harvest
of the different varieties. Copy OF Mr.
Ingham's letter is given below, which
we think will answer the question OF
some Of those who may be interested
in this crop this year:
"There are but two varieties of
onions grown in Franklin county. One
is an early onion harvested just pre-
vious to the early potato digging, and
the late onion is harvested usually in
October. The late onion is the Valen-
cha, sometimes called Domestic Span
ish. The early onion is known locally
as the Walla Walla onion.
"Seed of the Walla Walla onion is
produced by growers near Walla Walla
and, I believe, has been selected from
the French Yellow Glove. Plants OF
this type are available at Walla Walla
but as far as I have been able to de-
termine, every lot carries the disease
root-rot.'
Generally, seed of both early and
late onions are seeded here late in the
fall in we'll prepared ground and we
have obtained our biggest yields with
less cost by transplanting the onions
rather than drilling in seed and then
thinning"

The county committee for recon-
mendation of loans from the recon-
|struction finance corporation was COM
pleted Monday of this week. The per-
sonnet of this committee is as follows:
Paul Hamilton, Prosser, chairman;
Asa Crooks, Prosser, and George An
derson, KenneWick.
A list of names Of those from whom
the final committee was selected was
prepared by the county commissioners
and the county agent in going over
the situation Friday of last week. It
was felt at this, time that since there
Is no remuneration Of travel that 1t
would be better to have two members
of the committee in one community
of the county and the other in one of
the other leading communities with
the committee selected from the stand
point Of representing the wheat farm
ers, the fruit growers and the truck
growers. The committee as finally set
up, represents the industries In the
following way: Paul Hamilton, tree
fruits; Asa Crooks, wheat; and George
Anderson, truck crops
AS soon as blanks are available so
that the committee may determine the
details of making of loans they will
meet and go over these blanks and the
public will then be informed that they
may make application for loans. These
will then be passed upon by the local
committee and forwarded to Spokane
for final approval and issuing of funds
for loans.

of the information which it contains.
Anyone deeply interested in receiving a
copy may write to the county agent
and the few additional copies will be
given out as requested.
From study of 145 poultry flocks
for the year 1881 it was found that
the average flock was made up of $40
hens and pullets. The pullets averaged
1915 eggs each, while the hens pro-
duced an average of 142 eggs, making
the yearly average lay per bird 1907.
This looks like mark worth shooting
at.
A flock securing over so fall egg pro-
duction made higher labor income for
the owner than flocks failing to get a
good fall egg lay. Fall egg lay means
well reared pullets, free from chronic
coccidiosis and worms.
One successful flock of 1905 hens
and pullets had an average production
of 2OO8 eggs per bird with a labor
income of $l.01 per bird for the year.
Careful analysis of this statement will
show why many of our small flocks
are disappointing to the owner.
Market eggs made 1875 per cent of
the income, and feeding SO per cent
of the cash expense. The net cost per
dozen eggs for the 145 flocks was 1863
cents without figuring labor. The av-
.erage labor income per bird was 81
cents as compared to $1.01 for the 1902
hens and pullet flock. Hen flocks are
profitable when properly managed.
Losses in income were largely caused
by low egg lay, poor management of
old hens, high mortality, poor fall egg
lay, few pullets raised for replacement,
lack of proper culling, disease and
percentage of hens in laying flocks.
Improvement of egg grades helped
many poultrymen secure better in
comes.

Results of Spray
Experiment Given

At the time of the horticultural
schools in January we promised fruit
growers of the county that upon re-
ceipt of proceedings of the Washington
State Horticultural association we
would give them summary of Mr.
Spuler's findings on the various leads
alone and in combination. This article
is to supply this information. It will
not cover all brands of lead but only
those which were mentioned by Mr..
Spuler for articles.
Settling tests conducted upon the
various leads showed that Corona
settled out the most rapidly, Sherwin-
Williams next, Orchard, next; and Dow
and Grasselli the next The amount
of arsenic in the upper layer with
Corona was about one-third that of
Dow or Grasselli. When these same
leads were used with spreader and
the type Of spreader used was the new
FluXit, the Corona then showed a 1arg-
er amount of arsenic than any other
with Sherwin- Williams next Orchard
was improved somewhat by the
spreader and Dow very little with
Grasselli showing no improvement.
This would indicate that it would be
very much worth while to use Fluxit
type of spreader with Corona and
Sherwin- Williams or even with Or
chard and that would hardly be worth
while with the Dow and Grasselli
Based upon studies made as to worm
entries per 100 apples the following in
formation was given: Orchard brand
gives best results when combined with
fishoil QiquidD or mineral oil; Dow
gives best results when combined with
spreader or mineral oil; Ortho, better
results when combined with spreader
than when used alone and Corona
best results when combined with fish
oil emulsified or liquid, will also give
very good results when combined with
mineral OIL.
Because of the fact that fishoil is
hard to remove with acid washes it has
been pointed out that this spreader
should not be used late in the season
and some who have tried it are op-
posed to it's use at all because of diff
ficulty of removal.
While the results tend to show that
Orchard brand seems to be less effec-
tive than other brands yet growers Of
the county have pointed out that they
have. been able to secure very good
results with this spreader. Let us re-
iterate again the statement made at
the hort school that method and time
of application seem to be much more
Important than the brand of lead used.
Thoroughness of application, probably
is the key to successful moth control.
Since companies manufacturing leads
have had quite little time to make
adjustments since Mr.. Spulers report
was made available, we would also
suggest that one follow closely the rec
concentrations of the companies manu-
featuring the product you purchase,

The Clevelander jotted down
the extent of Continental'S hold

Commonwealth Edison, 1881,

the table to insult.
What will you take for the

TWO versions survive as to

nished me by lawyer for twenty
years in insults confidence, is that
the visitor demanded a fiat $3.50
for each share in each cocpor-
alton.
Another is that he offered the
shares on a sliding scale, which
provided a $50 premium per share
above the price paid. 1t would re-
quire full access to the books of

The arreSting fact is that insult

for each of the almost 10000

Unmarked by the press, the en-
counter called of a war econom-
ically more disastrous than many
an armed conflict.
Nearly two years later Eaton
blandly assured friend in Cleve-
land that he never had felt any
rancor toward insult; had not, in

friend chuckled and made no
comment.
insult encouraged no such illu-
sions. With him it was war, Bit
ter, cruel, and behind the benign
figure of Eaton he professed to see
the modified power of New York
banking interests"
So, wasting few words, insult
treated for peace, asking first if
it were not true that Eaton and
Continental Shares represented
the feared New Workers.
Now, Eaton at this precise mo-
ment was engaged in the cele-
brated fight to block merger of
the Bethlehem Steel Corporation,
with Youngstown Sheet and
Tube.
Whether wearied or dubious of
the Chicago adventure, his main
interests lay now in the steel
theater Of war. His interests,
therefore, demanded peace equal

Traffic Toll Far Below 1881

An average of fourteen persons
was killed each month last year, as
compared to only seven a month
this year.
Study of the this years death list
reveals that fifty-four deaths of the
total Of sixty-nine were due directly
to auto accidents, while only five
deaths resulted from accidents in
volving autos and street cars, trains
or interurbans.
Ten of those killed were past the
age of SIS, and most of these we're

crossing city streets.
A total of twenty-nine pedestri-
ans were killed. One of these was

He paid, roughly, three -fourthS
of the purchase in cash; the re-
mainder with 100000 shares of In
sull Utilities Investment and Cor
poration Securities.
AS Eaton departed that peace
parley, he well might have smiled
with the satisfaction of the fox
that outwitted the lion. He carried
off a sum estimated at $15,000,000
to 100000 900 in cash profits; the
net of his invasion of Chicago.
He left behind a bluff, still be-
leaguered nabob who progressively
would be Power King in name
only.
1t cost insult, as near as can be
determined from facts in hand,
something like $6o,O00,OOO to buy
off Eaton.
INSULT had won control-but to
4 settle the score he had to go
into pawn to the bankers for
more than he could pay. In
attempting to escape banker con-
troll, he had made it more certain.
He borrowed $110000,000 at
about this time, hypothecating Sc
curities valued than at $40, 900, 900.
He needed cash desperately, not
only to pay off Eaton, but to
support the market" and, more
over, to insure a gigantic program
of expansion, into which he had
entered headlong.
One thing wentswith another.
To inspire confidence that good
times were "just around the
corner" and hence insult stocks
should be held off the market, the
bedeviled Power King announced
a $193,O00,000 expansion, improve

Hindsight shows the eventual

And in midsummer of 1880, with

borrowing which would compel his

Whatever the fact, it would help
Eaton'S cause to acknowledge
tacitly that the New York bank
ers were back of his assault. He
did, it is said, so admit.
The dread of persistent cam

probably calamitous to insult,
would have induced him to yield
more promptly to Eaton's terms.
The power king did yield
promptly enough. Moreover, in

he conceded all.
