Fanners in the vicluty of Llnd

"Jim 11 ill mustard, which many
feared would get the start of the
wheat, and Injure the crop
Th orchardists of the Northwest
are plane to operate in the
marketing of their product in order
to give the largest amount of profit
to the raisers. Senator W. 11. Paul
hamus, president of the allup &
Sumner Fruit Growers' association
brought the matter to the attention
of 100 apple growers at a confer
ence held iii connection with 1 lie ap
pie show at Spokane.
The rapid development of the fruit
industry at, Slarlinek has induced he
growers to organize for mutual bene
fit, Funds ill he raised for main
taining the association and advertis
ing the Starbuck country. Plans are
on foot to build a large modern cold
storage plant at Starbui Aside
from the planting of 300 acre of 5
and 1.0-acre orchard at Rlveria, the
project, of President E. A. Bryan of
W. S. C.'i is it estimated 200 to 350
acres of apple orchard will be set
out. in the spring along the Snake
river near Starbuck.
Tobacco grown In Clark county
proves that one more product may
be raised In Washington. Edward
Permentler, who lives near Fruit val

more than a foot Ide and 30 inches

The tobacco seed is planted in a hot
house in January and transplanted in
the garden in May, here it, matures
in August. Mr. Parmentier expects
to plant mure tobacco next season

Storing Seed Potatoes.
Seed potatoes in storage have throe
very definite require tils. They
must In- kept In a place that la cool,
well ventilated and dark. Thai the
potatoes In- kept cool is mosl Impor
tant. The besl temperature is from
33 '" 35 degrees, If the tempera-
lire falls below 32 degrees there is
danger of freezing, although it. lakes
a slightly lower temperature toi
freeze potatoes than water, Good
ventilation is necessary in order to
prevent tin- spread of rot, and it. is
well to keep tin- potatoes dark, so
that, they will nol he tempted to
sprout at, any time. A cool, dark,
well ventilated cellar that is fairly
dry is the lust place to store seed po
tatoes on the ordinary farm. As
spring comes on seed potatoes should
imf be allowed to send out the long,
pale, spindly shoots 1 hal ore bo often
.seen. This may be prevented by
keeping I lie potatoes cool ale! dark.
Some of the .'.l stern grow three or
four weeks before planting time,
spread their seed potatoes out. in Ibe
light at a temperature of 60 to 70
degrees and here allow them to do
velop sprouts a half to an Inch long.
These are strong, stubby little
sprouts, that are not broken off in
planting. It la said thai this pro
cess ii.ii hastens tin- maturity of the
crop and increases the yield, But to
allow potatoes to Bend out long,
spindling shoots ' hal are easily
broken in handling is a bad thing for
j any kind of potatoes, seed or market.

Xo Refund on Mate Linuor Lie**
Tho question has been raised as to
whether or not the stato will pofund
to saloons forced out of business by
the town voting dry the unearned
portion of their state license fee,
which amounts to $26 per _____
The 250 saloons thai will go out of
business In Everett ami Bellingham
on the first of the year have paid into
the statu treasury $0,250 in license
This money has gone Into tin- state
general fund and th,. only manner in
which th state can refund, if it does.
the unearned portion of the license
fees is by a special act of the legis
lature authorizing the I ,i.- treasures
to issue warrants for the return of
ihe me,
The federal government, which col
lects an aniial tax stamp fee, which is
distinct from a license, does not re
fund the unearned portion of the
fees. it will, however, issue a tax
stamp for any desired portion of a
year. The tax stamp is transferable
as to local ion --HI not, a: tO the person
to whom issued.
it is probable that If tho matter is
brought up and the saloon men ap
plied for tho unearned portion of
their licenses, the state will refuse to
turn the same,
