Farmers Beginning to Take an
Interest in the Subject OF
Diversified Farming.
In Spite of Rich Soil, Not
Enough Vegetables Are
Being Grown.

Many of our farmers are begin
ming TO realize that wheat is not
the only thing that can he raised
at II proht, as hay has brought a
good price for several years, and the
demand Ia 80 great and increasing
so fast that the chances are that con-
siderable attention will I've paid %
that article this summer. Potatoes
and all kinds of vegetables are in
such demand at Spokane Falls, the
Cpur d'Alcnc mines, and IN fact
in every large and small town of
Easier Washington, aud at such
high prices that it Is u very easy
matter to see that the farmer who
puts in several acres of
garden and looks after II
well will he well paid for
his labor. Just think of it
potatoes selling for cents per pound
In "a country where the finest dry
and mealy potato can be raised IN
almost any portion Of North Amcrl-
,n, and more bushels to the acre at
that, and yet the farmers Of this
country do not raise onc-fourth
enough Ia supply the home con-
sumption. Not only potatoes, hut
such hardy vegetables as cabbage,
turnips, carrots, bects, onions, etc,
aud the finest country on the fNce
of the earth for such products.
Wake up, farmers, and get move

TO cows and hogs, Ind by doing 80
they will be the means of keeping
the money in the state, and
then the farmer will see much
better times than ne mas Tor the
past ten years, raising only one or
two kinds of products, wheat and
oats. The writer knows all of these
things can he raised in this country
to perfection, as lac has seen them
grown here for several yeas, and
sorry to say in smaller quantities
than for the good of the farmer or
the community. We live in rich
and blooming country, aud every
thing that can should be made to
bluoiu and blossom.
Another thing, before II Is forgot
ten. We believe either the state, or
each county in the state, should cu-
courage the farmer In setting uut
ornamental trees along the road
sidos especially IN the prairie cOun-
ties; ulsO hardwood groves. This
certainly would improve the looks
Of our country more than most any
thing else.
We are surprised that there has
been so iittlc done towards destroy
ing the destructive squirrels OF uiir
land. We fear IL has escaped Mr..
