The Farmers Institute

The farmers institute last week
held in Great Falls adjourned after
q series of most interesting sess-
ions wherein nearly every phase OF
farming was discussed by those
present. One of 'he most promin-
ent papers read at the institute
was on "Soil Cultivation and the
Conservation Of MoIsture' by Pro
fessor Emery of the experiment
station. He touched on the
various methods of soil cultivation
in Montana, insisting upon the
vital necessity of the greatest pos
sib,e pulverization of the soil in
order to successfully retain mois-
ture. He said, theoretically, the
scientific method wou' d be the
absolute pulveriZation OF the soil
for depth of at least one foot.
This method was impractical how.
ever, for obvious reasons, and the
most feasible plan was the use of a
combination sub soil and disc plow,
which resulted IN the required sub
soiling and also gave the requisite
pulveriZation He SAID that the
plow commonly used packed and
polished the soil, which was left al
the bottom of the furrow. Every
hard c!od left in field under culti-
walton just so many obstacles t(
the free and unhindered pent t 'atior
of the soil by the roots o.
vegetables or plants and resulted
in lust 50 much waste soil II
addition to the retardation Of tbs
growth of the vegetables. Th'
professor insisted upon the use o
: the disc plow if farmers wished f''
the best results in agriculture. HI
said particularly in bench lan'
farming all available moistur
should be carefully considered an'
utilized. Irrigation was di:c 1sse'

do is to order the resumption OF
work on the survey Of the Black

an injustice to them, as well as tc
thousands of others, to compel
them to wait any great length OF
time to get into this country to
develop it.

The Fifty-ffth congress met in

The work before it, the passage
of the tariff bill, is pretty well
marked out, but the indications al G
that it will be stormy session and
its length and scope are mere mat

is in favor of bringing the work OF
the congress to a SPEEDY close, but
he is bv no means the whole con-
gress. The new tariff bill, on
which the republican members oI
the ways ard means committee
have been working for three
months was completed and was
formally introduced on Tuesday.
1t will then be printed and submit

by nearly all of this week. Nigh
sessions will be held during the
debate and it is thought that th'
bill will go to the senate in aoou
two weeks after it's Introduction il

elected and immediately afterwar'

There are a number of lost
industries in the United States,
caused by the effects of the past
few years, but there are others
due from other causes. Thirty
years ago the braiding and:plaiting
Of straw was quite an industry,
not only was the work done in
factories, but the farmers daught-
ers and wives found it source Of
income This was entirely stopped
by the cheap labor of Italy, Swift
zerland and other parts Of Europe.
Now that labor, cheap as it is,
has been driven to the wall in
straw braiding by the Chinese.
Less than ten cents will purchase
roll of braid, the labor of which
would require OF the American at
Ieast5 three days of ten hours. The
manufacture of tooth brushes
ceased in this country years ago.
France and England, cheap labor
of course, did this. But the same
cause that worked havoc with the
industry here is following them.
1t is the exception now to fad
ony bnt Japanese tooth brushes on
the market. They may have the
mark Of Paris, or of London, but
the japanese cipher is still there
There are other industries being
rapidly encroached upon by orien-
tai competition. These two things
are but examples, showing what
may happen to others, If this
competition closes up the Euro
pean factories, that which we had
heretofore been competing, what
will be the effect here little later
on unless the necessary steps are
taken to prevent such competition?
