ARIZONA STATEHOOD.
Il 10 Strongly Favored by Visiting
Conqressmen.

Prescott, Ariz.--The congressional
statehood party divided to-day. Con
gressman Tawney and several others
went to the Crown King mines. Others
made side trips in carriages through
the mountains to the granite quarr.es
and WhippIe barracks to inspect new
buildings in progress. The post is be-
ing greatly enlarged and the progress
of the work was examined.
Congressman in the party express
themselves as follows:
Adams OF Wisconsin:
Il voted once for jointure because /
knew no better. / know better now. L
am an Arizona captive and surrender
completely. anu against jointure."
Goebel of Cincinnati:
"Arizonas schools should alone en-
title her to become a state. If nothing
more, but she has great deal more.
She deserves statehood now. and until
she gets it she will find warm advo-
cate and friend in me-"
Minor of Wisconsin:
I'VE are with Arizona. Fasteners
have an idea all the civilization is east
of the Mississippi river, but II they
change their opinion. 1t would be
although the latter is great territory
also. Both are large enough. Interests
so varied and people SO different
should remain separate"
Tawney of Minnesota:
Were the members of Congress to
come here and see Arizona. l doubt IL
four-fifths who have voted for jointure
would do so after visit. l now know
conditions and believe my next vote
will meet with Arizona's approval
Madden of Chicago:
"rhe day will come when Arizona
will get single statehood. II can belp.
l will. | am astonished at the wonders
of the territory, its agricultural inter-
ests. mining, farming. civilization and
educational facilities. No better schools
or higher state of civilization exists in
the entire country"
Davis of Minnesota:
IF Senator Beveridge's report on
Arizona was true, the territory has
changed wonderfully in short time. l
am from the West and | will always
vote with the West, and | do not want
to see any more such big states as
Texas. believe Arizona now fit to be-
come a state
Maynard of Virginia:
Il am the only Democrat in the
party. If 1t were not for family ties.
home associations and native love for
dear old Virginia. | would sell my
ticket and stay in Arizona, and If
ever move it will be to this territory.
which will soon be state. and 1t de-
serves it,"
Marshall of South Dakota:
81 believe 1t wrong to both terri
tories to even breathe the idea of
jointure. ! voted for it once, but
have revised my ideas and / am going
home and preach the true gospel of
rich and great Arizona to my col
leagues. No higher state of civiliza-
tion, no better schools, no more patri-
otto people live in the United States
than these"

Japan Fully Controls Korea.

Tokio.-Baron Hayashi, when inter
viewed by Jill representative at
Osaka, said that the uprisings in Ko-
rea are not serious. the irregular
move being without leaders. He de-
clared that the peninsula is now prac-
tically a dependency of Japan. Ade-
quate capital and wise foresight would
certainly develop the natural re-
sources of the country and make Korea
the source of considerable wealth.
Baron Hayashi has arrived here.

Dry Farming Experiments.

The Cheyenne, Wyoming, board of
trade has arranged for the continual
ton in 1906 of the dry farming expert
ments commenced this year in Lara
mie county only. The arrangements
for 1906. however, take in larger area
of territory. DIR. V. T. Cooke of Port
land, Oregon, the expert retained by
the board of trade, will direct experi-
ments in northern Colorado. western
Nebraska, Laramie. Converse, Weston
and Sheridan counties, Wyoming
The board of trade will purchase
farm machinery and teams. These will
be loaned to the farmers in the dis
tricts mentioned who are willing to
try dry farming. but who do not feel
like making an outlay for that pur-
pose.
The particular method of dry farm
ing advocated by DR.. Cooke embodies
land fallowing, or the plowing and
working over of the land during one
entire year to place it in condition to
produce crops during the ensuing
year. Good results were obtained near
Cheyenne this year on land which had
not been fallowed, but much greater
success is expected to be obtained on
land which was fallowed this year and
which will be planted next year
An agricultural writer believes in
the use of alfalfa hay for horses. He
says that if a horse is given about
what alfalfa it should have, say twelve
to fifteen pounds daily for horses of
1000 pounds and fair grain ration,
the animal will travel just as far and
just as fast as with other kinds of hay
and be in better condition. Horses gen
orally get too much hay. no matter
what kind they are fed. A good ration
for the horse of any kind of feed is
about one pound of grain and one and
a half pounds of hay to each one hun
dred pounds of horse, and this would
apply TO alfalfa. In fact, the horse
should do better on the alfalfa than
with other hays and with less grain.
