FARM MAKING ON THE COAST Clearing by Contract Is Well What You Clear. SAYS STRAWBERRIES GOOD Cooperative Farming Needed Is Large Production of One Variety in Section. Speaking of cooperation of farmers on the Coast, Ohio L. Miller, farm expert, says it is not necessary to form cooperative clubs, but just work together, each man own his own land and equipment. Outside of the marketing problem, the cooperation in fanning on small farms, he says, is the producing in one section a large output of one variety.

Large Production of One Variety. Large production of one kind of berries or vegetables will pay the best. That is to say, if ten or more farmers are raising the same thing, it will be much easier to market it, as the big wholesale dealers will send out a berry car for a large amount. Or, if the production is eggs, a truck will call and pick up the crates; whereas, the small farmer located a long way from the road will have to haul his own product to market, sometimes at a cost greater than the value of the product sold. I believe that ten per cent of the product of the country is wasted for the want of a ready market.

So get together in larger numbers and have more to sell in one place. The paved roads and gasoline cars bring buyers to the front door of all persons living near the road. The auto trade is the cream of the selling market. Such buyers are discriminating, but they have the money, they will pay for fresh farm products, and they will continue to come what satisfied. Therefore, when the buyer is considering the purchase of land the product and the market must be taken together.

Having decided upon the land and the purpose for which it is to be used, the next step is to get it cleared. No man can go upon a piece of loggedoff land, covered with brush and stumps and dig and blast the stumps out, fill up the holes, then do the work away from home to make the living at the same time. We may just as well Understand the facts now as later. If you can it pays better to buy a place partly cleared, with some improve-, menta, then clear the rest. It is folly to talk about farming, about chickens, berries and fruit and then tell the buyer he must grub for ten years before he can realize his dream of easy money in loganberries.

The Story of One Small Farm. Here is a concrete example. From where I sit writing this article, I can see a house situated in the center of two and one-half acres of cleared land. It is a good going chicken ranch worth at least $5,000. It is paying an interest on that sum besides wages for the owner.

Here is its history. About twenty years ago a man came here and bought logged off land. It was covered with stumps. He cleared the land and built the house and barn, set out some trees. He worked away from home to make his living while he cleared the land.

When the land was cleared he was worn out and died. A foreigner bought the land three years ago for $1,500. The proceeds for the season of 1920 are as follows: Ninety crates of strawberries at an average of four tons of pota- worth $50 per ton; eggs sold from 500 laying hens, profit at the leact $2 per hen; a cow from which they sold milk and cream for eight months at $8 per month; they also sold butter. They have their own fruit and vegetables They raised one hog on the sour milk and vegetable waste. The net proceeds of this small ranch has been not less than between $1,500 and $2,000 clear.

Another example. An old man, nearly 70, has three acres, keeps about 400 chickens, sold 5.000 dozen eggs at an average of over 50 cents per dozen, with an outlay of $800 for feed. He has no help. Clear Well What You Have Cleared. This brings us to the question of what shall we do with the logged off land? There is but one answer.

When logged off land is to be made into a farm, let a contract with a land-clearing firm that is fully equipped to do the work in the best and most economical manner. Have it all cleared at one time, leveled, drained and prepared for irrigation. If your means will not admit of clearing all of the land then clear properly what you do clear and have sufficient to commence work. I know one man who has not as much as a single town lot cleared beside the land his houses are on. He keeps 400 chickens and does well.

Plan the proper use of your land, set out trees, plant shrubs, berries and buildings and get business started If it is good strawberry land, and almost any land is good for strawberries, providing it is moist during the spring, plant as many as you can spare the land for. for nothing you plant will ever beat them for By petting the strawberries in at once (tire month of March is best, but Fair Season in Full Swing in the State of Washington Within the apace of two months, beginning with September, 26 fairs will be held within the boundaries of the state of Washington, no fewer than 1 5 of which will be held west of the Cascades.

SKAGIT VALLEY LEADS Second Place Goes to Snoqualmie Kegley Has Highest Producing Herd. A summary of the reports of the cow testing association work for July, shows that 4093 cows were tested in the ten associations, according to Frank W.

Kehrli, assistant dairy extension specialist of the State College. The average yield of milk was 834 pounds and butter fat 34.1 pounds. There were 1108 cows made the honor roll, which requires a production of over 40 pounds of fat during the month. Skagit Valley association again leads with an average yield of 1047 pounds of milk and 37.4 pounds of butterfat from 515 cows. Second place went to Snoqualmie Valley association with an average production of 962 milk nnd 36.7 pounds fat.

The highest producing herd was that of R. J. Kegley of Olympia, whose thirteen cows averaged 1611 pounds milk and 52.1 pounds fat. High individual yield was made by Omdal Pietertje Korndyke, a registered Holstein, which made 2362 pounds of milk and 101.6 pounds of fat. This cow is owned by Peder Omdal of the Skagit Valley association.

Fifteen Inferior Cowa Butchered. According to the reports submitted by the testers, 15 inferior cows were disposed of during the month, via the butcher route, and one purebred bull purchased. Association records for the ten groups are as follows: Clallam A. Robinson, tester, reports 588 cows tested aver- April, or even May, will dot and you will soon have an income. If you have iome land cleared and have some knowledge of the work, you will find that you will make progress very fast, if you continue to study.

Obtaining Information. No matter what the beginner wants to do on the land he has bought, the government will furnish bulletins covering the subject from the fundamenal principles to the expert. These bulletins can be secured free by sending your name and address with the you are interested in to the agricultural department, at Washinglon, D. C. Just ask about chickens, dairying, berries, fruit or livestock.

These bulletins will come to you free every month. Study them carefully and reread them. Then for special information write the experimental station at Puyallup. Wash. They have valuable information for the farmer and stock grower.

If there is a good landscape gardener and architect it will pay to have a new place properly laid out then follow the plan. By having build ings, fruit, garden, driveway, chicken houses and cow barn located Just tight at the start will add much to the value of the place. It will often repay the owner in time when attend ing to his crops and livestock. Many places have the barn near the road, causing chickens and livestock to become a nuisance on the public highway. Also by locating barns and stockyards close to the house the health of the family will be impaired and the offensiveness will be very great.

OMAK PRODUCEB FIVE CARLOADS OF CHERRIES The Omak district of Okanogan county has not hitherto been widely advertised in respect to cherry production. Many orchardists have planted rows of cherries, however, the trees growing rapidly and making excellent windbreaks for apple plantings. This season five carloads of cherries were shipped from Omak, averaging the growers about 9 cents per pound. A tablespoonful of cold water added to the white of an egg before beating will make twice the amount as in ordinary circumstances.

The results of several years' work in the general problem of apple polenation by Professor O. M. Morris, of the division of horticulture of he Washington state experiment staion, have just been published in StalOU Bulletin 16H. In his studies Proessor Morris has shown that self-steriity is more common among varieties if apples than la self fertility, and that differences in pollen exert no llrect influence on the size, shape, or quality of the fruit He has also demonstrated that are the principal agencies in apple orchards and hat the June drop is intimately asociated with the failure of the apple 0 produce seed. He concludes that 1 good list of inter-fertile varieties iroparly planted will form an orchard hat will fruit with the minimum loss ly June drop.
