Chirpings From Rock Creek By Ths Sun's Correspondent), THE DESTRUCTIVE FOREST FIRE This last week Roc Creek was pretty lively. Seems as It there was a : lot of unusual smoke flying around. Everyone was busy fire-flghtlng. The calls for help were: Boys, youths, and more men to help fight the raging forest fires, and they were commanded to give their valuable services to help the British Columbia government from forest ruination. Boys In their teens were taken from their present Jobs' and given positions which older men could have tilled.. This forest flre has been the worst for several years. It vas sad to think that many homesteads were destroyed. C. S. Clarke of near Bridesvllle i lost his home and househuld effects in Monday's flre. Also many tons of hay were burned in the barn. Rock Creek canyon was an Inferno of roaring, seething flames, wiping out everything which was possible to burn. The tall, beautiful trees have gone There were several small farms near the crossing. The Kirby's farm is in ruins and their sheep are dead, llterly roasted alive. Many people have lost their cattle and horses, whloh were found in a terrible state ot suffering and had to be killed to end their mis cry. The bridge was also burned out In the Rock Creek canyon crossing. A sudden tornado made its appearance, and tore big trees up the roots, sending large branches, which were on flre, tjoating in the air. scattering destruction wherever they landed-, causing flre among' tbe dry weeds, whloh abound in this part of British Columbia. The canyon flre spread from C. 8. Clarke's ranch to Blllle iHatton's fs>m, but did not do very great damage there. Then it went to Fred Fry's place and burned the old Warn on it. It then back-tracked and made all haste to McLean's old home stead; wiped it out and llterly cleaned it of all Its buildings (the present owner is George Cross, who left lint fall to live at Coquitlam at the coast) From there on It has gone In the direction of Andy Johnson's, and is now burning somewhere at the back of his farm. The men patrolled Mr. Robinson's old farm and kept the flre from burning his home. A part of the flre, it is reported, got started ln the canyon ag^in, and was heading to the U. S. A. kjpundary line to look for fresh victims, and it is still burning. Happily, no lives have been lost ln the Rock Creek canyon crossing. Mr. Copeland, who has a mineral claim there, was missing for a time, but according to all accounts, he is all right now, much to the relief of his mcftifj friends. He foo refuge in a tunnel close by. piece of poetry—printed In the Herald of that city—and thought lt was rather suitable for the occasion. The poet laureate of Penticton deserves special praise for this his delightful piece of poetry, which Is truly to the point: Execration IMy curses on the government, And other fiends who did invent, And spread, with malice an intent, Where'er their jurisdiction went, I The filthy slime and powerful scent lOf doggone slimy tar!

Pentonlan. was traveling siway from the building. Mayor Henniger and two or three trucklooads of volunteers left for the scene as scon as the news of the lire was telephoned to this city. They stayed until a late hour, i|ad their efforts were successful in keeping the flames from spreading, in spite of the strong wind. The Doukhobor community is a very heavy loser by the lire, as it is understood that no Insurance was curried on tbe poles. It is not yet known what steps the Great Northern railway intemlf, to take to replace the destroyed building, but the opinion seems to prevail that one of Iho buildings from just across the boundary line will be moved to the old location of the' customs house. Customs inspector F. M. Burns of Vancouver arrived in this city last night, and the safe of the burned building will be opened today, when the extent ot the loss and damage to the customs department will be known. The WaJla Wialla prune crop this year Is estimated at from 800 to 1000 cars. Latest Okanagan shipping point prices f.o.b. are: Tomatoes. $1.25; peppers, 2c; celery, 4c per lb.; onions, $40 a ton; cabbage, $50 ton; Duchess apples, wnapped, $1; cookers, 75c; No. 1 apricots, Moorpark, $1.15; No. 1 peaches, Ti'iimph, $1; pears, Bartlett, $1.50 a box; potatoes In mixed cars, $16 a ton. Some prairie points report much larger shipments of live poultry for market purposes than expected. This ls probably due to crop failure tlnd consequent shortage of feed.

Can Oder THERE are fifty-five regular weekly newspapers In Brtt- Ish Columbia. They are published In a widely scattered field In communities with populations of from 300 to 400 to one of 10,000. Sixteen are published ln communities of less than 1000 population; fifteen in communities of 1000 to 2000 population; seven in communities of 4000 to WOO; four m communities over 5000 to 10,000. These weeklies appeal to 145,000 of British Columbia's population. The news In these . newspapers Is mostly all local, because that Is what Interests the readers, and the advertisements for the most part tell what local merchants are doing. The country editor knows the people he serves; they are farmers, lumbermen, miners, fishermen, prospectors, laborers, all. It Is estimated that the average farm family spends $2000 every year for things which are not necessary to raise crops. The total sum that Is spent by farmers In the United States for those things with which to live well Is the appaling sum of thirteen' billion dollars. Seventy-two per cent, of all automobiles sold go to people living In towns and eomnnitles el less thon 5000 population. Using tbe same, proportionate figures to estimate the buying power ot the rural population of British Columbia served by the weekly newspapers of the province, and we have something like 70,000 automobiles purchased by residents of the province in towns and communities of less than 5000 population, and 16,000,000 spent every year by these rural families tor things whicb are not necessary to raise crops. It one is Inclined to think tbat only a few people, and an insignificant few at that, live in country communities served by the weekly newspapers let him study these figures or consult the last census statistics.

The production of larger crop yields ls one of the most urgent lann problems. Unless improved metaods are adopted yields decline lo such an extent tbat prolltaitiie farming he- comes impossible. Scientific investlg, i tlonal work Is Imperative in order to learn new and Improved methods. ■In order to Indicate what yields may be expected under suitable conditions the average yields of farm crops are given on the Central experimental farm, Ottawa. These yields ■ •have been obtt|ned on large field | areas. IJiey are compared over the! Ssame period 01 years with the average yield throughout the province of Ontario. While corn silage has yielded 16.0 tons per acre on the experimental farm, the average yield in Ontario hi|s been only 9.35 tons. Oats have yielded 68.8* bushels I at Ottawa as compared with the average Ontario | yield cf 3B.1 bushels. Hay has g.ven the exceptionally good yield of 3.53 j tons per acre on . the experimental! farm as compared with 1.52 tons in Ontario. Potatoes gt|ve 207.7 bushels •per acre at Ottawa while throughout the province there was produced only 107.7 bushels. Other crops have yielded proportionately. But it might be Bald tbat the costs of production on the experimental farm are greater than on the average fi.Wn. Undoubtedly this ls true but they are not proportionately greater. 'Many items are no higher even with heavier yields. Thus the charges foi rent ou the use of the land-, the costs of ploughing, seeding sand harvesting remain very much the same. How then may larger yields be obtained? Larger yields may be obtained by following the most seientifts raethoi^. The use of sultjole crop rotations, thorough cultivation, good seed, proper drainage, adequate manure or fertilizers and tbe egective control or, weeds, insects and fungous diseases all piny important parts in increasing crop yields. The fertility of tbe boII becomes very much reduced when proper rotations are not adopted and where mtu- ure or commercial fertilizers are either improperly used or used in insufficient quantities. There Is every probability that a j considerable extension' In the use of! commercial fertilizers will develop in the next few years. But the intelligent use of these materials requires the most careful study and should be supported by- very exact scientific research,. In m experiment conducted over a period of 18 years on the Central experimental farm, Ottawa, commercial ftrtMii- ers have given an increase in crc; yields over untreated land which after deducting the cost of the fertilizers, was worth $8.75 per acre. How ever, in order to get the most profit I ble response, lt is necessary to stud. the nutrit.onal requirements of vari ons crops, the most suitable' rate and time ot application, as well as the kind of fertilizer to ppply. Recent eyperimental work indicates a tremendous difference in the re sponse from fertilizers depending e i tirely upon the method of application. Twenty per cent increased yield ol barley wt)i obtained ln one expert ment when fertilizers were applied with the seed as compared with broad cast application. However, this method Bometlmees injures the germiha tion, indicating the desirability of applying some fertilizers as close as possible but not ln contact with. the seed, particularly when hetfry dressings are used.
