Announcements Experiment Station at State Co',o?e Produces Exceptional Varieties Remarkable Yield in Dry District. , State College, Pullman, Wash., Jan. 24, 1917. Wheat breeding by the Ex periment Station at the State College of Washington during the last two years has resulted in the production of several new and exceptional varieties the value of which was strongly em phasized by Dr. Ira D. Cardiff, direc tor of the station, in a recent mter- yiew. Among these varieties, reports Dr. Cardiff, one, known as "triplet"' . has averaged a yield of 50 bushels an acre. Another of the hybrids has yielded an average of more than 46 bushels. Both these varietias evade on the market as "Ftfe," yet out- yicld Fife by from ten to fourteen bushels per acre, outyield standard Red Russian by approximately the same amount, and exceed the yield of Forty-fold per acre , , by i fifteen bushels. The yields noted for the college grown varieties were upon ground which produced a crop of corn the year before. In the dry district, upon summer fallow ground, the variety known as station hybrid No. 143 produced 54 bushels per acre. Of the spring wheats, Early Baart ranked highest with an average of 52 bushels, also raised on summer fallow ground. Write For The Observer.

A 12-piece orchestra is here with the pictures.' The films are handled by two special opera tors. There are 18 men in the party.

THE modern farmer is influenced by every other farmer in the civilized:, world and by every consumer in the realm of commerce. How is this farmer to know what is going on in this whole; world of agriculture and commerce ? . ' - FORTUNATELY THE ECONOMIC RE8ULTANT8 OF ALL THE FORCE! OF THE AGRICULTURAL AND COMMERCIAL WORLD ARE FOCUSED (N THE DAILY MARKET QUOTATIONS. It is true that a study of agricultural and commercial geography willl aid the farmer in understanding the conditions of supply and demand which determine the prices which in turn determine what lie should pro duoe. It is not Rccessary, however, that this study be of an academic character.. .The farmer who follows tho market quotation and accom-. panying comments on conditions in the field or in the markets whichi explain the changes in prices will IN A FEW YEARS HAVE A VERY GOOD PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE OF AGRICULTURAL AND COMMERCIAL GEOGRAPHY. ... The modern business farmer must be a student of market prices audi a student of relative costs of production if he would adjust his farmings operations in such a manner as will yield him' maximum results.

Senator La Follette, of Marion county, hasn't introduced a single 'bill, resolution, petition or memorial this session. That doesn't mean ho is not on the job, for he is one of the hard est working and most conscientious members of the Senate. He is a firm advocate of economy, and never loses nn opportunity to speak out his mind on the subject, no matter who he hits. Senator La Follette is also famous for the big ie(T apples he' distributes. Mars ton instilled within him. When, 'in later years, the older Marston is murdered and Alvin marries, the bride and groom persecuted in mysterious ways. Crime results and in the long run the guilty one meets just fate, and thus the story is permitted to end happily. For those who like their love stories mixed with sensationalism and adventure, "The Sign of the Pop py" weird in mystery ana gripping in its interest, will be considered the best of all Bluebirds. Mrs. C. A. Barrett, wife of Senator Barrett, is an enthusiastic stamp col lector. She has several thousand .postage stamps of all countries, The Orcgonian.
