The MOrmons and Statehood.

Chaplain Scott OF University regents
belongs To what may be termed the
broad class of the clergy. Chaplain
Scott was known as the "Fighting
Captain" during the war. He is known
as the peter Cartwright OF the Ari-
iona Clergy" this because of his fear.
less attitude on all questions touching
the leading spirit of the Baptist
church OF the territory. Referring to
the opposition some senators were
raising to statehood on account OF our
Mormon population, Chaplain Scott
has no hesitation in saying that Ari-
IONA needs more of such citizens, as
they are most Industrious, frugal, law
abiding, moral in Il high degree and
are builders of any community, sec
tiOn or locality where they settle
themselves. They do not allow saloons,
gambling or houses Of questionable re-
putc to exist in any community con-
trolled by them. He thinks the qucs-
ton Of the religion of any class OF
people should not enter into the Qucs-
tion of statehood. That Arizona 5
Mormon citizenship is of the best, If
we are to judge a tree by its fruits.
Chaplain Scott is right in the fullest
sense of the term. Arizona's citizens
have done much good for the territory
and have never done no harm. They
have reclaimed the vast places of sew
er4l Of the most prosperous regions of
the territory today. AS Chaplain
Scott we'll says we want more of such
thrifty moral and abiding citizens in
Arizona not less. They are the class of
people who build strong and endur-
Ing commonwealth. The trouble with
those senators who speak against the
Mormon people is they do not under
stand them. They ought to come and
see the kind of communities they
build and the pioneer spirit which
ac:uates them in blazing the way for
civilization. Come and see these peo-
pie before you speak so harshly of
them and their influence. Ignorance
on SO important fact almost ap-
proaches criminal negligence.-T

MACARONI WHEAT.

The crop of macaroni wheat pro-
duced this year along the semiarid
border of the northwest is estimated at
100000 bushels. The buyers Of other
grades of wheat are not taking kindly
to handling it and are discriminating
to the amount Of 20 cents a bushel
against it and are further lowering the
grade Of other wheat to the limit when
it contains even trifling per cent of
macaroni wheat. We have seen and
eaten Of the bread made from this
wheat, and finer bread one could not
ask for. The growing of this crop
means much to the farmers in a large
section of the country, a section where
land is now very cheap and but little
crop Of any sort raised. It's record this
year is from twenty to thirty-fve BUSH
els per acre where other wheat gave
six or eight bushels. While it may take
a year or two to get the market for it
properly fixed, it is evident that a
most valuable new cereal has been
added to the list which may be grown
in this country. ..s .@

THE MISERABLE WAY.

i
We see SO much misery and poverty
an we look around US, large part of
which might so easily have been avoid
ed, that we may be pardoned for refer
ring to some matters which concern all,
whether on the farm or of it. There is
the common error made by parents in
not teaching their children the value
Of money and the honor and respecta-
bility associated with good old fash
ioned hard work; there Is the folly of
the young man who seeks to cut a ten
foot swath on a two foot income, who,
claiming that the world owes him liv-
ing, will do almost anything rather
than work for it; there is imprudent
and hasty marrying, the almost univer-
sal gambling habit the utter indiffer-
ence to a surely coming old age by fail
ing to save anything for that period,
the foolishness Of going on other mems
paper or in trying to boost up son in
a business which he does not under
stand and for which he is untitled, the
itching for public Office and evident
purpose of so many to live on the plane,
"Let us eat, drink and be merry, for
tomorrow we die" With the splendid
opportunities within reach of the young
men of this country it is really a dis
grace for him to be poor when he be-
comes old. .~s-

There is nothing nicer to be found in
the farm home or for that matter in
any home than the plan Of having
some member of the family read the
paper or some book aloud. This plan
will interest all and tends to invite
comment and discussion. The habit Of
each member of the family reading to
himself might we'll give way to the
plan suggested. ..,

A FACT IN CORN CULTURE.

We went into a cornfeld few days
since to see what we could find. The
field was one which had been almost
continuously in cereal crops for a Pc
riod Of forty years, and the soil was
badly worn. We found that where the
corn was planted four and five kernels
in hill there was only one decent ear
on nine hills and that where it was
planted one and two kernels in a hill
there was one good ear to each hill. AS
we studied this fact out it seemed to
have an important significance. We
are convinced that the so called barren
stalks of corn which some have charged
to imperfect seed and fertilization are
more the result of starved soil than
any other thing. The moral to be
drawn from the foregoing is If your
land is poor do not plant your corn
over one-half as thick as where it is
rich. 1@ %% s5 a

OLD FASHIONED s,>ILL.

With the advent Of new tools and
new methods on the farm there has
come distinct loss Of the knowledge
on the part of the men who work them
Of many Of the still Indispensable and
old fashioned ways of doing things
For instance. few young men know
how to handle scythe or how to grind
or whet one. Not one man in ten today
can build a stack of grain in the proper
way so that it will be symmetrical in
appearance and rainproof. There is
but rarely man to be found who will
take any pride whatever in his blowing
to have his burrows straight. and not
man on ten farms knows how to butch
er hog or a sheep or cut up and cure
and care for the meat as it should be
done. This is to be regretted. for. while
modern machinery has come to tighten
the labor of much Of the heavy farm
work, a knowledge of the old time
handicraft is still as necessary as ever
at times in order to the successful do
ing Of the farm work. The plan Of
thrashing grain from the shock, which
in dry season will more economically
dispose of the crop than to stack it and
thrash later at leisure, is very general
ly compelled by the simple fact that no
one can be found who can build stack
Of grain in the proper way, and so the
grain is left in the fields until the ma
chine comes round, 8 method which
during the past two wet seasons in the
western countries has resulted in enor-
nous losses. A pig which will sell on
the market for $40 can be butchered
on the farm and the meat cured where
one knows how and as much good
meat be obtained as would cost from
$18 to $40 from the butchers wagon.

FOUNDING AHERp.

We know of two or three young men
who are preparing to lay the founda-
tons for future herd of fine stock.
They will this fall buy two or three
well bred and registered heifers and
pay from 500 to $3.50 apiece for them.
These heifers will bring them calves
next spring, and then it will only take
about seven years, adding new sire
every third year, to have on their farms
a nice herd Of thoroughbred stock in
stead of a herd of the ring, streaked
and speckled sort. The above is one Of
the most sensible and practical busi-
ness propositions before the young
farmer Of small means today. When
the start is once made there Is little
more to do but wait.
