FARMERS WILL SEE RESULT OF TEST ——. Will Visit Experimental Tract Satur day to See Evidence of Effect of Previous Crops on Stand of Wheat _ What effect, good, bad or indif ferent, have previous crops upon tho stand of wheat the following year? This question, of vital interest to the Palouse country farmer, has been I conclusively and authoritatively an- j swered through an experiment con-1 ducted by the experimental staff of I the State College, and next Saturday ' afternoon all the people of Pullman I and the surrounding country will have an opportunity to observe the result of this experiment, one of the most interesting and at the same time far-reaching ever conducted by i the station experts. The Hegnauer tract, one mile south of Pullman, and just east of the Chapman residence, was secured by the college for this experiment, and last year the tract, which contains 20 acres, was plotted and planted to 14 different crops. This year the entire tract is in spring wheat, College hybrid No. 146, and the vast difference of the growth on the different tracts, all tilled, planted and grown under exactly the same conditions except for the previous crop, shows the great variety of ef fects from previous cropping, and proves the value of different grains, legumes and root plants as crops to be used in rotation with wheat. The different plots show the effect on the growth of wheat after wheat, after oats, barley, corn, sorghum, peas, beans, millet, sugar beets, car rots, potatoes, summer fallow, etc. All farmers and business men are urged to meet at the Flatiron build- j ing Saturday afternoon at 1:30, from | there to proceed to the plots, where I the experiment will be explained in j detail by Professor C. C. Thorn, head j of the soils division of the experiment station, who had charge of the inter esting test. Good roads have been made around each block of plots and automobiles or other vehicles will have no trouble in driving through the tract and viewing the different plots. The tract is within easy walk ing distance for those who have no other means of transportation. The experiment is a farm education in Itself, and no farmer should fail to avail himself of the opportunity pre sented by the college people. ■ — - ARCHERS TO FAIR Dr. and Mrs. A. E.

PULLMAN, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JULY 16. 1915 INLAND TELEPHONE COMPANY TAKES OVER BELL EXCHANGE Local Lines Cut Over This Week and Long Suffering Public is Relieved—Bell Com pany to Maintain Toll Station After being burdened with dual telephone facilities for many years. 'I" people of Pullman and the ad jacent country found welcome relief this week, when the merger contract between the Pacific States Telephone & Telegraph company and the In land Co-operative company became affective, and the Inland company assumed control of the entire local exchange of the Dell company. The afficials of the two companies came to a final understanding Monday ifternoon, and Tuesday morning the work of cutting over the Hell phones to the Inland service commenced. The single Pacific telephones were first replaced by the Inland phones and connected with the Inland switch board, and today the farmers lines are being cut over, the duplicated telephones to be removed later. It, is expected that the entire cutover will be finished this week, when the local exchange of the Bell company ("■/ill be a thing of the past, although he Bell toll service will be con inued. The Bell company will, for the ime being, continue its toll board in its present quarters on Alder diect, although the board will be connected with the Inland system md calls taken through that office, Later, however, the toll board will probably be removed to the Inland central station, where It will be op erated by them on a commission iiasis.

' Wealthy Chinese to Study Here Anchung Kung, Son of Sing Ming Kung, Dig Chinese Manufacturer, Will Take Course in Agri culture at W. S. C. I ■■■lull — With a view to spreading the gos pel of American agriculture and agri cultural methods among his country men in China, Anchunk Kung, son jf Sing Ming Kung, wealthy Chinese nanufacturer, will this fall enroll at ;he State College, where he will take i full course in agriculture. The two Kungs are members of the Chi nese delegation which is now on an extensive tour of the United States, A-here they are studying the condi tions of this country with a view to bettering those of their own land. f. T. Barnard, college registrar, re delved a telegram from the president jf the Seattle Commercial Club, who lecompanied the Chinese delegation to San Francisco from Seattle, stat year lease on the rooms they now oc cupy, but have already received ap plications for sub-letting the building and anticipate no trouble in dispos ing of their lease when the toll board is removed. The Inland company purchased only the outside plant of the Bet company, and the interior fixtures including the switchboard, will be stored or shipped to San Francisco or to some point where they will be installed. Both companies will con tinue under their present franchise! pending actios of the city council on the application for a recinding OT tne Dell franchise and the granting of a new franchise for toll service only. The franchise tax is still a bone ol contention in the city council, but the Bell tax under the present ordinance, is paid until the first of next yeai and the inland company is operating under a free franchise which has 12 years yet to run, thus giving nearly six months for an adjustment of the question before another tax pay ment is due. The consolidation of the two con cerns will give the Inland company 675 telephones, which will require the services of eight operators, be sides the toll board operator. The company which now has an exclusive exchange field is purely a home con cern, being owned and managed by local people, the greater part of the stockholders being prominent farm ers of this vicinity.
