nation as to where the state stands in
the matter of swine. According to
the 1920 census we have less than one

seventy-hundredths; Lewis ami Ska

while Whitman has I.:: I brood suns.
Were the farmers to carry one
brood sow for each of the farms in
the state and should they save five
pigs to the litter, one-third of this
swine shortage would he relieved and
our farmers have li.c opportunity to
pocket nearly two million dollars.

ORCHARD COVER CROPS
EFFECT ON FRUIT COLOR.
Clean cultivation or orchards, and
covet 1 crops, with their effect on fruit
color and the general health of the
trees, wore discussed at the recent
meeting of the State Horticultural
Society of Washington by Professor
O. M. Morris, head of the horticulture
department of the State College of
Washington.
First he told how orchardists in the
irrigation regions had boon devoted
to clean cultivation, and secured
j splendid growth, rapid development
I and early fruit production by this
means. The soil is, however, ex
tremely low in humus, inclined to al
kalinity, and rapidly depleted of its
fertility under his clean cultivation.
The extremely high coloring of the
fruit should have been taken as a
warning, he said. Shortly after the
trees gave evidence of slowing up of
growth abruptly, unsatisfactory coloi
j of foliage, and in many cases unsatis
| factory development of the trees.
| He told the effect on the hevier soils.
which, heintf low in humus, undei
clean cultivation, worked well in
spring hut in summer were dry, hard.
j almost impervious to water. Trees in
j such soil showed the effects of
I drought. The fruil was small and of
j poor quality.
Orchardists, noticing these siinis.
! tried commercial fertilizers and
started cover crops. In run-down
I orchards there was a straggle he-
I twecn the trees and the cover crops
i for water and plant food from the
i soil. Some growers had to practical'
j ly destroy their cover crop to save the
trees. Others were fortunate enough
| to time cover crop planting so they
] could let the straggle go through to a
finish. After the crop had time to
begin giving hack to the soil, tree
growth Improved, and the orchards
gradually came hack to more normal
condition. Hut the hijfh color of the
fruit did not return. That it seemed,
was a warning rather than a normal
development.
PREDICTS HIGHER PRICES
FOR COTTONS.
All (foods composed of cotton and
wool will be higher this coming
Bpring for the following reasons:
Cotton is forty per cent highei
than a year ago at this date: cotton
yarns are twenty-six per cent hitfhei
than last December; worsted! yarns
are fifty-three per cent higher than
B year ago.
Ii is computed that the farmers
will >>:et for this year's crop f1.50 foi
every $1.00 they received for last
year's crop.
The new tariff i.< responsible foi
the advance in wool and the advanci
in cotton is due to the ravages of the
boll weevil, which has destroyed fifty
per cent of the crop.
The advance in the price of wheat
is justifiable as the farmer has not
been getting enough compensation
for bis product compared with the
prices of other commodities.
NEAR BAST PROBLEMS:
BOLSHEVIK! POLICIES.
What is tho foreign policy of Bol
shevik! Russia? Is that government
beinp: used merely as a center for the
world campaign of Bolshevism?
Tin question! will be discussed
Jan. 17 by the International Polity
Club of the State College of Wash
ington. At the last meeting Prof.
Matielshapen led discussion of the
Near East problems.
