tn" paper went to press. The two were
charged with arson, the burning Of the
store house of Mr.. Mack English. Both
parties were convicted. Rastmus Sims
was represented by MIR. b. y. Tow send
while Mr.. Butler represented Jim Rooder
by appointments. Mr.. Townsend be-
lieying his man to he innocent made a
strong fight and an earnest plea for his
acquittal, and very few thought after
judges charge that Rastmus would be
convicted. 1t was shown that he had
taken no part in tie burning ard that he
was only cOgniZ mt of it after the house
had been fred by Jim. They were both
found guilty, however, by the jury, A
petition was at once gotten up and signed
by the Judge, Mr.. English and several
Others familiar with the case. Mr..
Townsend took the petition and went
before the Governor at Columbia and
succeeded in getting Rastmus Sims par

Mr.. A. w. Jores from tho Comp
trollcr Generals Cllice was in Union this
week Che cking up the county officers,
tie Treasurer, the Auditor, the County
Supervisor and the County Supt. of
Education. lie arrived on the 8 O'Clock
train, finished kis work and departed on
the next train for Spartanburg At lao.
That was quick work. In conversation
with Mr.. Jones he said that the officers
of Union county were among the very
best of the counties of the State. Their
business was kept in an intelligent mar
ner and the settlement was an easy mat
ter, they carried out instructions to the
letter, that there had been scme COM
ment on his remarks about the eflic' ency
of Union county's officers and that he
repeated the statemet, ard there VI ere
only twelve other Counties in ths State
that would compare favorably with
Union county. 1t is not necessary to
name them. This is very complimentary
to our county officers and our people
should feel proud of such set of men in
charge of the county's finances.

THE UTAH PLAN OF FARMING.

The success Of diversified farming as
practlccd in Utah is thus exploited in
the Denver Field and Farm by G. W.
Aldrach of Clear Lake, Willard CO.:
The Utah plan Of farming Is to so d.
versify the crops that nearly every
food product required for the family is
grown In quantity sufficient for home
use with some OF each to sell Let the
farmer who has been accustomed 10 put
all his effort to the production Of one
crop. say wheat or corn or potatoes,
Just pause and consider for a moment
the results Of diversified farming. AS an
illustration, take the experience OF a
Utah farmer Who oultiNatrs 40 acres OF
land. Ten acres TO wheat Yields at
least 500 bushels-200 bushels to sell ar
ter breadlng the family. Ten acres TO
alfalfa Yields a. tons Of hay, which
feeds half a dozen work horses. a half
dozen dairy cows and leaves surplus
OF five tons TO sell
Ten acres in corn, peas, mangel-wur-
zels, pumpkins squash, turnips and car
rots provide food for n dozen beeves,
100 hens and 20 hogs which in turn pro-
duce more than the living expenses OF
tatoes makes a product Of more than
400 bushels for market and five acres of
orchard Of properly selected fruits
Yields at least $500. The remaining three
acres may be devoted to buildings,
lawn. garden and barnyard. Thus a
spot OF ground considered by the farmer
Of the grain section only a garden
patch. brings 20 the Utah owner a com
Portable living and each year a small
sum 10 add 10 a bank account. These
figures are conservative ana may be
more than verified by actual expert
ence.
Indeed. many farmers In Utah with
hut 20 acres Of land annually produce
more than Is Included Ia the estimate on
40 acres. They often rase 60 bushels
Of wheat instead OF 30 bushels TO the
acre, ten tons OF alfalfa instead OF five
400 bushels Of potatoes loo bushels Of
corn and 20 tons Of squash These
Yields are 50 common as 20 cause only

chard may be made to yield ilooo In

stead Of $500. As final proof OF the pro-
position that the small farm does pay.
there are In Utah today scores Of farm
ers with money to loan and the money
Is the savings OF the annual surplus
from the farm OF 40 acres "a less,
am satisfied that the farms OF the west
are too large and that they must be-
cut up IN time Diversincatlon and in
tenslye culture will be the keynote Of
success IN all western farming opera
lions.
II might be added that Il was the
policy OF the founders OF this mountain
commonwealth TO have every family
own ond cultivate its own litta farm;
that every citizen should have an inter-
est IN the soil and work FOR himself,
making the monopollzatIon OF land an
lmptsslblllty. 70 this policy Of the
Utah pioneers Is due the fact that a far
greater per cent Of Utah farmers own
their own homes aud farms than dues
