Recently there was issued by the
Chas. H. Lilly Co. valuable little
pamphlet known as the Crop Book.
It tells how to raise the various kinds
of crops in the west, and in one part
of the book there is extended infor-
nation given concerning fertilizers
and their use. This little book is is
sued by the Chas. H. Lilly CO. for
free distribution among their patrons,
and is we'll worth a place on every
farmers desk.

wISCONSIN'S PRIMARY LAW

With experience as its guide, the
state OF Wisconsin is beginning to place
itself on friendly terms with the prim-
airy law it has recently tested. Most OF
the newspapers OF the state voiced their
disapproval OF the system in advance
OF its adoption, as they have in South
Dakota, newspapers in all states being
inclined to take their political inspira-
ton from the bosses.
Several commendatory extracts from
Wisconsin newspapers have been re-
produced by this paper. Here is an
other, from the Horizon Reporter:
after considering the result Of
the first election under the new
primary law, the facts indicate that,
viewed froma broad standpoint, It's a
good thing, and one OF the best laws
on the statue books OF Wisconsin.
While the law is not perfect, yet on the
whole it put the nomination OF candi-
dates where it belongs, into the hands
OF the people. Politicians may. influ-
ence and concoct their schemes, yet
when the voice Of the people has di-
rect bearing on the choice oicandidates
states are smashed to smitherins and
the candidates the people want are nom-
mated. There is no juggling OF dele
gates, no bribery direct or implied, no
recess taken to make men misrepre.
sent their constituents by voting for
some fellow their people do not want.
Just as the caucus and convention sys-
tenn was an improvement over the
original method of nominations by
members OF congress, so the primary
system is gain over caucus and con.
ventions. Political machinery, like
material machines, wears out in time
as conditions change, and new inven.
tions are necessary. We don't SOW by
hand or cut grain with a Kirby reape,
nowadays, although those were the
best available methods at one time. .

While the Kittredge outfit won out
in Minnehaha county the result
throughout the state is anything but
pleasing to the machine" as all the
counties that were in the "insurgent''
column last spring nominated legis-
lators who are in harmony with Coe l.
Crawford and many OF the counties
passed strong resolutions pledging the
convention to stand by the platform as
adopted at Sioux Falls. Not only this
but the machine lost several coun-
ties which they controlled during the
spring contests.

While there was a fierce rivalry be-
tween Messrs. Holman and Price in
Yankton county to decide which should
receive the nomination for state SEN
ator the result has been the same.
Upon the floor OF the convention, Mr..
Price made a speach in which he en-
dorsed Mr.. Gamble and his senatorial
candidacy and said he would vote for
his reelection first, last and ali the
time. The Legislative delegation was
instructed by convention resolution
to support Mr.. Gamble for the United
States senate. This does not bear out
the statement, made by the machine"
organs, that Kittredge has gained pres
tige.

ATHENA TUBERS IN DEMAND
UMATILLA FIRM HAS ORDERS FOR
ALL POTATOES THAT CAN
BE SHIPPED.

A local grocer and provision firm
has received advices from the Oregon
Produce company of La Grande that it
is in the market for Umatilla county
potatoes, the Weston Mountain product
preferred, and will handle consign-
ments from Athena to the extent Of
from one to ten carloads, says the
Athena Press. The firm mentioned
can spare but one carload with out
depicting its stock beyond the limit
of supplying the local demand.
The market price for potatoes at
this time is IS cents per sack,
though in view of the short crop and
particularly should winter weather
continue, rise in price may be looked
for. However, price will not figure
to any great extent in bringing po-
tatoes to market When there are not
many to bring Helix farmers this
season raised scarcely any potatoes,
and several shipments have been made
from Athena to that place. The Wes
ton mountain crop, which rarely fails,
is this year listed in the short crop
column in the general summary of the
potato yield.

LOCAL AND FOREIGN MARKETS
UMAT|LLA WHEAT ALL SOLD
LESS THAN SEVEN PER CENT OF
1905 CROP IN HANDS OF
FARMERS.

PENDLETON, Ore. Jan. 4.-The
amount of wheat raised in Umatilla
county the past season is estimated to
be very nearly 100000 bushels. or an
average yield of 25 bushels to the acre,
for every acre sown in wheat last
year.
OF this amount Of wheat all has
been moved from the farms except
possibly per cent. or 100000 bushels.
and the greater part of this will have
been moved before the spring is very
far gone. Although the crop was not
up to the usual Umatilla standard
large amount of it was sold at 81 to
s. cents. which brought the farmers
out about as usual, with the general
crop of 5,OOO,O00 bushels.
An excellent crop is predicted for
next season, as there has been practi-
cally no cold weather, and the rains
and the light SHOWS which have fallen
this fall and winter have put the fall
sown wheat in first-class condition.
