The statistics up to this year show
that since 1900 farm real estate val
ues have increased SO 1-3 per cent.
Fewer men are going in the business.
All the good land is in hand. The
growing population demands more OF
the products of the soil and with the
constant desire of immigrants to re-
main in cities or in small m~anufactur-
ing centers, the farmer finds a sale for
all he can produce. This is the day
when the tiller of the soil can buy
automobiles for his family.

Restoring Prairie Soil.

All who have taken up prairie farms
will recognize the truth of the follow
ing statement Of Prof. Ten Eyck of
Kansas in regard to them:
.sWhen the wild prairie is first
broken the soil is mellow, moist and
rich, producing abundant crops. Aft
er a few years of continuous grain
cropping and cultivation the physical
condition of the soil changes-the soil
grains become finer, the soil becomes
more compact and heavier to handle,
II dries out quicker than 1t 9 to
and often turns over iii hard eiots and
Jumps when plowed. The perfect tiith
and freedom from clods, so character
istic of virgin soils, is always more or
less completely restored whenever land
has beer laid down to grass for a suf-
5cient length of time"

what resting Cream Means.

Our grandmothers never had to con-
slider the question of thickness OF
cream. To them it was all one
whether the cream was thick or thin.
Since the test has been brought into
use, it is discovered that Il cream that
contains about 30 per cent of pure but
ter fat is best for ALTERNATING. The
cream that is only about 20 per cent
pure butter fat often develops too much
acid and makes poor butter.

One of the most important factors in
increasing the wheat yield is early
blowing. If you don't believe 1t, pillow
a portion Of the field early in August
and the balance at the end Of Septem-
Der, and in the part plowed first, you
may have an increase Of ten bushels an
acre over the other. Early blowing is
especially necessary in clay lands. Gen
orally speaking, the field should be
rolled as soon as it is plowed.

Relative to the time of harvesting
apples, the author of a bulletin, issued
by the Idaho station, calls special at
tention to the necessity of harvesting
Jonathan apples when the seeds have
turned a light brown. If the fruit is
not picked until well colored and the
seeds are dark around the edges, it is
likely to rot at the core while still
sound on the outside.

Nut trees, as n rule, have long tap
roots, and it has been handed down for
years that to cut thin tap roots when
transplanting them meant death to the
tree, but experience shows differently.
If the long tap root is cut many lat
erals are sent out, and thus a fine,
strong root system is established, which
will make a good tree.

Politicians of the Orange

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 4.-Governor
Pardee and Congressman McLachlan
were the principal speakers today at
a barbecue here that opened the Re-
publican campaign in Los Angeles
County. Fifteen hundred candidates
and prospective delegates to the county
convention and leading political work
ers OF the county were in attendance.
The Governor, who said he came
down TO fish, was chaperoned by his
political manager for Southern Cali
fornia, Assemblyman Stanton. Pardee
made speech in which he marveled
at the progress of Los Angeles and this
end of the State, painting a pitiful pic
ture of the disaster that swept San
Francisco. In the intense interest taken
by local Republicans In politics, he
said he saw an example that it would
be well for the entire State to follow;
that 1t would be we'll If Oakland and
Alameda County could do as we'll
Congressman McLachlan in an address
referred but briefly to Pardee and did
not mention his campaign for renomi-
nation. He paid a high compliment,
however, to the administration of Gov
ernor Gage.
Senator Flint, in whose honor the
barbecue was planned, was not present.
He sent a telegram saying he was de-
tained in the north by a conference on
irrigation matters. Local politicians
have been wishing for the return of
the Senator to straighten out mud
die that has come about through his
appointees TO Federal positions mixing
in local political affairs and in many
cases crossing the paths OF the local
managers of the organization.
