A great deal goes to the middleman;
too much, 1 believe. 1t is a long and
devious pathway from the farmer to
the man who eats the things which he
has grown. l gave out a statement
here the other day intimat1ng that the
local Washington dealers were charg-
ing in certain instances too much, and
a dealer came at me with n wrathy
assertion to the effect that I did not
know what 1 was talking about and
that he made profit of only forty

Cooperation in the South.
81 have been watching the South
with a great deal of interest" con-
tinued the Secretary. ''They have ac-
complished more in effecting an or
ganizatio down there to bring the cot
ton producer and consumer together
than has been attempted with any
other of our great agricultural produc-
tions. The cotton crop Is a big one
this year though not by any means a
record breaker. The grass and hay
crop is probably the biggest we have
ever had; our corn crop is probably a
record crop and our wheat crop is one
of the very largest"
"That is the order of Importance of
these crops?"
NO, should put cotton third in i'm
portance-grass, corn, cotton, wheat;
though of course, our meat animals,
taken as a whole, are more important
than any one. Why, the poultry pro-
duction alone is worth 400 million dol
lars a year-as great or greater than
the value of the wheat crop. We will
undoubtedly export some very fine
hogs this year-choice corn fed hogs.
Pork is our greatest meat export. A
quarter of a billion dollars would
hardly cover our animals exported this
year. 1 fancy, probably amounting to

A TALK WITH SECRETARY WILSON.
GUY ELLIOTT MITCHELL

Secretary Wilson, as the official
head of the great family of American
farmers, views with some consider
able satisfaction the abundant crops
which have blessed almost every sec
ton of the country.
''The harvests have been heavy" he
said, "and the farmers will make
more money than in an average year.
The prices on farm products will be
lower, but the crops will bring the
farmers, nevertheless, more money.
Living should be cheaper, too. The
hay and grain crops have been enor-
mous-probably record breakers-and
meat as a result should be more plen-
tiful and cheaper. l say it should be.
The producer and consumer are so far
apart, and so much goes on in between
these two principals that it is difficult
to say just to what extent production
Amador ledger., 1905-12-01

send our hogs abroad and are eating
more mutton, veal and beef"
'"The present condition and the fu-
ture outlook for the American farmer
is a good one then, Mr.. Secretary"
Eyes, things certainly look well,
generally; yet believe we are very
near to a sort of agricultural crisis
hardly crisis perhaps, but an import
ant and radical change. The farm
hands everywhere are leaving the
farm for the factories. Wherever
there is any manufacturing you will
find this to be the case.
The farmer has pretty nearly reach
ed his limit. He is doing about all
he can do with his hands and with the
most improved labor-saving farm ma
chinery worked by good horses. This
bad condition on the farm is going to
affect production and prices, and that
Amador ledger., 1905-12-01

and that with thoroughly rich soil,
good seed, a we'll planned rotation of
garden crops and a medium amount
OF hard work-a good wheel hoe will
reduce this last eXpense-a very small
area will produce very large amount.
Not only should the table be sup
piled from spring to late fall, but
large stocks of staples should be
saved for winter use. Of course,
every farmer stores in his cellar DO
tatoes, turnips, pumpkins and other
coarse crops, but there are many
others equally good and almost as
easily cured and kept which no
longer contribute to the winters table
and have been supplanted by cheap
canned goods, in the long run expen-
sive and usually very inferior.
Limas for Drying ;Pick Them Green.
Take, for instance, lima beans. If
these are picked and shelled when
green-the same as though for imme-
Amador ledger., 1905-12-01

diate table use-and then dried in the
sun, they will constitute through the
winter a delicious and wholesome dish
almost equal to the fresh bean.
The same applies to green corn, which
our grandfathers will tell US was
staple winter produce, also easily
dried in the sun, having been cut from
Amador ledger., 1905-12-01

the boiled cob at roasting ear" stage.
And, among others, okra or gumbo
makes equally as good soup in win
ter as when fresh in summer.
When it comes to canning and pre-
serving, there is little real comparison
between the home canned product
and bought goods. 1t time is con-
sidered as money, canned tomatoes
can be bought probably cheaper than
they can be grown and canned at
home. But how about the results? ?
If the farmers wife should go
through the ordinary canning estab-
lishment she would probably conclude
to do every speck cf her own can
Amador ledger., 1905-12-01

very shortly. 1t is impossible to say just
what the effect will be, but change
is coming. The farmer must have Ia
Dor, but with the prices of farm pro-
ducts as they are now, he can not meet
the wages offered by the factories;
therefore the farm hands are gradually
shifting toward the centers-the towns
and the cities.'
MIR. Wilson Not a Theorist.
81 would like, Mr.. Secretary, to have
a message from you to the American
farmer for the coming year."
"Oh, 1 can never discuss things in
an academic way" remarked Mr.. Will
son, with a smile. you will have to
Amador ledger., 1905-12-01

"No, can not do anything with these
hypothetical cases of higher farm edu-
cation"
"Well, then, what should a man do
with the manure which accumulates
on his farm?'
''He should put it on his land" re-
piled the Secretary, now thoroughly at
home; he should take it out ON the
land at once and not let it accumulate;
haul it out and spread it on as fast as
it is made. The ground will get the
good of it,
won't the ammonia evaporate and
the fertility be lost to the soil?'
mo, it has been demonstrated by
careful experiments that the hauling
out of manure is the best method. 1t
will go down into the grass roots. 1t
will not lose the ammonia because am
monia is produced by bacteria and
these bacteria flourish only under three
conditions, moisture, heat and oxygen.
There are three classes of bacteria
which must operate upon manure be-
fore it is available for plant food. The
ammonia bacteria attacks it first; it is
then converted by other bacteria into
nitrites, and, lastly, by still other bac-
terra, into nitrate, when the roots of
the plant can then take it up as food.

TIE KITCHEN GARDEN.
More Than Two Thirds of the Living
of Family Can Be Raised.

IF the farmers wife could induce
her liege lord to contribute the same
care, patience and labor next spring
20 the kitchen garden which his
grandfather did during his day, there
would be perhaps considerable gain
in the households economy as well as
much satisfaction developed for the
housewife. The old folks insist that
even with the greatly increased varI-
ETY. and excellence in fruits and vege-
tables, due to many plant generations
Amador ledger., 1905-12-01

of selection and breeding by the seeds
men and scientists, the kitchen
garden on an average is not so well
planted or tended, has less variety,
and on the whole is much inferior
to the same institution in the 'good
old days" when grandfather was d
boy.
1t is an oft repeated argument, in
every farm journal that more atten-
ton should be given to the garden;
that fully two-thirds of the living for
the farmers family, however large,
can be produced from a good garden,

ming hereafter and avoid setting on
her table sour green fruit, artificially
colored and sweetened with coal tar
products.
With the supposed degeneration Of
the individual farm garden, it is in
teresting to note that the professional
market garden, as an industry, has
tremendously increased.
The farm gardens, "market gar
dens" and truck gardens" of today
are the producers of a multitude of
miscellaneous vegetables" almost un-
known fifty years ago. In the census
Amador ledger., 1905-12-01

of 1890 the large increase in garden
products was recognized, and a sys-
tematic count of their bulk and value
was made. 1t is possible, therefore,
to make a ter-year comparison of the
increase of such products, and this re-
cords the remarkable increases from
100 per cent to 400 per cent in the five
several divisions of the country. The
North Atlantic States had we'll de-
yeloped industry in garden products
before 1890. which accounts for the
relatively low increase. However. 100
per cent in 10 years, while the popu
lation increased only a trifie over 20
per cent, is amazing.

 The court denied a motion of the de- fense to take the case from the jury and direct verdict of acquittal. In stating his contention to the court Judge Wing, for the defense. said:
 'The charge in this ease is not cer. tifying checks. It is conspiring to cer- tify checks. \ conspiracy between an official of bank and a person not an official of the bank to certify checks is impossible. for the reason that it re- quires two to conspire. and a person not bank official not having the pow Ar to certify checks cannot conspire to certify them
 He claimed also that Mrs. Chadwick could not be punished even granting the allegation of the state that checks had been illegally certified.

Politicians

are beginning to wear that good na. tured smile so characteristic of the smooth tohgued office holders who are always ready to promise anything and everything under the sun to the ward tools and curb stone politicians. But they also have the happy faculty or being very absent-minded after 1ey have been elected. You'll never see good living voters i've mean the men who drink good teal take any stock Tn political promises. The heelers who believe such promises recall few lines thus: They're like the man who promised
 the sun, The "heelers" wondered it did not
 come.
 The reason is. I'll tell to thee,
 They drank bad whiskey instead or
 good tea.
 Now for promises made about two yeacS ago. Did they promise to keep the streets in the condition as at pres- ent? Did they promise to let the trol- ley company spoil all our pavements: Did they promise to lower our taxes and hundred and one other promises! Noi They were political promises But when we promise you anything you'll get it, because our say-so Tn our adv is our do-so in our store every time.
