The sawmill men in the mountains
not only cut the forests away 1nois-
criminately, but after much wantoh
desecration by the axe they let 1or-
est fires get started and leave tnem

IN save the mountain forests from
utter and wanton destruction. II
the national government delays long

Making Big Money Growing Pota-

Making Big Money Growing Pota-
toes - Farmers Prosperous.
Lying north of the forty sixth degree
of latitude and therefore higher than
Montreal and st. Paul or the mouth of
the Columbia river, in Oregon. the soft
winds and bland sunshine of spring are
late in arriving, but this does not i'll
terfere with the success of northern
Names chiefest cultivated crop. pota-
toes.
The soil has some peculiar character
istics of the greatest value in growing
potatoes. In many of the towns given
over to this crop a ledge of rock or
limestone formation underles wide
stretches, this sometimes closely an
preaching the surface, at others a few
feet underneath. There is comparative
ly little clay, a reasonable amount of
sand and IA good showing of loan. A
heavy rain falling upon plowed ground
does not disturb the farmer, because he
knows the water will quickly drain off
so that he may within few hours re-
sumo operations of narrowing or cult
waiting. The soil furthermore seems to
well resist drought conditions.
Examples are cited like the one of
the man who raised 1000 barrels of po-
tatoes in 1905 from forty acres and
cleaned up from his crop over $4,000
IN cold cash, even granted that from
this he must subtract q substantial
sum for fertilizers, labor, etc Little
wonder that prices for good potato
land are away up in the air 500 an
acre, and that tenants are willing to
pay rental for the season of $12 or
SIS an acre for workable land In
stances are reported here and there
where farmers have sold out their
holdings at high prices, have taken the
money, gone into other parts of the
state, bought for fifth or fourth the
price and started a new farm with a
handsome bank balance. But these
are the exceptions
Farmers as a rule are well satisfied
and contented. They are prosperous.
They go to town in a top buggy or a
blackboard, driving handsome horses.
They handle "wad" of bills. One
season with another the past FIVE years
or more farmers have been highly sue
cessful in growing this crop.-New

DESTROYING GARLIC.

From a discussion of the subject of
garlic in pasture and hay fields by
practical cultivators Country Gentle
man finds the prevailing opinion to be
apparently that to destroy the bulb of
the plant the land should be plowed
shallow late in the fall, to expose the
bulbs to frost action. zone writer says
to harrow the ground after the bulbs
are frozen Repeat the process early
in the spring. One writer reported
that two years of such practice eff
fectually cleared his land. One letter
advised as follows: "Plow it up, SOW
rye on the land Now pillow ii in next
spring and SOW peas at once. Plow
them in the fall, and let the land stand
until the following spring Then work
up nicely and SOW with grass or any
other crop wanted. 1t takes time to
get rid of this. 1t cannot be done In a
hurry. l have had good success that
