This is especially true of I Hybrid 1..V which is well adapted j to certain sections In Eastern Wash- j ington, according to Leonard Heg nauer, extension specialist of the State College. Hybrid 128 was originated by the Washington experiment station In J 1899, and through care and selec- 1 tion, its varietal characteristics have become firmly fixed and established. This variety is a cross between two other wheats. Little Club and Jones Winter Fife, two well known varie ties both quite popular in their day. The good characteristics of both par-! ents have been combined in this wheat. It grades as white club on the market and is favorably known as a market wheat in the sections to which it is suited. It is best adapt ed to the Palouse country and such other sections as have similar soil and climatic conditions.

HIGH SCHOOL BONGS A contest was recently held among the high school students to write few high school songs The work was in charge of the English classes and a great number of good songs were written. Judges were chosen, one from each English class, and the three best songs were selected. The winning songs were written by Carol Pickett, Marion Schroder and Lila Nalder. ■ Following are the winning songs: FIGHT Words by Carol Pickett Tune, Jungle Song Upon a well known hill top Which for four years is our home, There stands "Old Pullman High School" With a spirit all her own; No school can boast such daughters Nor such loyal sons and true, We'll fight and fight and fight and fight For the dear old grry and bill. Chorus— Fight! Fight! Hold that line! Hear our rooters cry, Fight! Fight! Hold that line! Pa louse must not get by; Hah. Rah! Rah, Rah, Rah! We are on our way, On the way to victory, we'll win to day. The students of Old Pullman High Sure have the "pep.'' the grit, in football or in basket ball We always do our bit; And when we have a party There are none with us can vie; If you could see us 'ion would like for Pullman High to cry. Xl VI Words by Lila Nalder Tune, Bingo Xi Vi, Xi Vi, Pullman High is on the war path, Our team is out for blood, There's to be a slaughtering, So watch the team go in. Xi Vi, Xl Yi. Hear ye then our wild war cry, Fight, Fight , I Fight with all your might, Fir Pullman High and blue and gray. two other well known and popular varieties with which it comes in com petition—namely, Red Russian and Forty Fold, shows in a seven year field test at the experiment station, that it averaged 4 4.1 bushels per acre as against 36.8 bushels for Red Rus sian and 30.9 bushels for Forty Fold. Hybrid 128 is strictly a winter variety and is hardy and quite drouth I resistant, though it will not resist dry' i weather as well as Turkey Red. In j the date of seeding test, run for four I years, that seeded on September Ist proved to give best results. Some growers believe that Hybrid 128 is rather subject to smut. While the variety does show a weakness in this direction, it is possible by care ful seed treatment and good care to reduce the amount of smut to the I point where it is almost negligible. .1 Every beekeeper should keep a ; simple record of all colonies, show- I ing when queens were introduced, • when they swarmed, the amount of I honey produced, when the various j nectar flows started and other valu , able information. it is time well , spent. THE BLUE AND GRAY Words by -Marian Schroder Tune, Orange and the Black Although Moscow always favors The roses red and white, And the blue and gold of Colfax Has always made us fight, | We will always love our high school, 1 All teams and schools we'll play For our "gang" stands ever ready To defend the blue and gray. When we leave old Pullman High School, We say a fond farewell, And to all we boast her glory And her fame and honor tell, Undefeated she is standing, And victory with her stays While she upholds the fame and honor For Pullman High and blue and gray. SCHOOL ORCHESTRA On Saturday the members of the school orchestra attended a joint meeting of the school orchestras of this county which was held at Col fax.

The national guard movement in Pullman high school has been a big success and 30 or more boys of P. H. S. have enlisted in the local rifle unit.
