DiversiGcation Of Agriculture

The STATESMAN has ever advocated di-
versi6ed interests in this farming country
and ever and anon have given facts and
figures with a vieg Of encouraging our
farmers to study the matter. That, In
ten wears more, wheat will be secondary
consideration in the Walla Wails Valley,
We have no doubt. II must be according
to the very nature Of things. Here Is
something from tie Pioneer Press the
leading newspaper o; Minnesota which
Will show that We arc not far wruDg in
our predictions, for what has been done
elsewhere under the sama conditions Will
be done here:
s'The dairy intercs; has established it
self in Minnesota to stay. 1t is but few
years s!nce the dairyiag business was r,-
garded as a most doubtful experiment. up
on which few disappointed wheat far

ventured. Now it has attained the dl-
mensions Of great industry, and pros
perity has followed It's grow n. Cream
cries are scattered here and there, fields
are dotted with cattle, aud farms whose
uncertain returns had driven their owners
to aiscouragetneut are now the sources
from which a handsome and yearly in-
come Is drawn 1t is the diyersihcation
Of agriculture, in the widest sense Of that
term, which has proved a blessing to Min
nesota farmers; but in that diversihcation
the introduction Of dairying has played
the leading part. The convention of dsi-
rymen are yearly adding 10 their mem
bership; and the interest displayed in
their deliberations, and the butter and
cheese convention, now in session at Aus
tin, promises to contribute not little to
the knowledge OF the method by which
this industry is to be made most success
full and remunerative S-uthe-n Mime
sofa is to he congratulated on the perlna-
nent introduction of a system OF diverSi-
fed industry which has already done so
much for the prosperity Of her people.

Denver & Rio Granie will surely extend
its line 10 Wood River next spring and
summer. This gentleman. who has IN
innate business relations with the Presi-

This is not new departure or change
of policy on the part of the managers Of
the D. { r. G.. road Years back, before
the L. P. company owned any road be
sides its main line, the struggle between
the D. r G. and the U. p. road be-
gan. But the U. P. did not feel the
competition very much then, because of
the great volume of its through business.
Since then, however, other transconti-
mental Lines have been constructed, and
the L. p. has been forced to adopt the
policy of building feeders or branch lines
more extensively. 1t was this that led to
the construction OF the Oregon Short
