WARREN'S LEASING PLAN.

The skeleton proposition presented
by Senator Warren. in The Republi.
cans Washington dispatches Satur-
day, will give a basis for discussion.
The senator has presented something
that will be mighty hard to greatly
improve upon, So far as the safeguards
to be thrown around the homesteader
and poor settler are concerned. He
demands that the administration of
the system shall be in the hands of
local men, that the fees imposed shall
be nominal, that the receipts shall be
returned to the states in which they
are collected, that the preference shall
be given to the small stockman and
farmer to lease grazing lands adjoin-
ing their home ownings, and that the
leased lands shall always be open to
homestead entry, and settlers shall
moi be restricted from filing upon
them.
Mighty fair proposition. Under such
a plan the people of any state ought
to be able to get along. The details
of management ought to be easily
figured out by western men of eXper-
fence in range matters. The money
states in which it vas raised. The
only expense that would have to be
met would be the expense of admins.
traitor, n even that would go to
western men, men of the locality af.
fected.
In addition 10 the great benefit that
would come through individual con-
troll of ranges contiguous to home
steads, many other blessings would be
brought about. Neighbors would
cease to be suspicious of Zach other,
would join in the matter of line fences,
would have no trouble with each 9TH
er over the kind of stock handled, and
neighborhoods where feuds n con-
slant turmoil has existed. Where
ranges are fenced rustlers have little
show n the percentage of loss is a
great deal less. The Republican is in
formed by men of experience that
their losses at present, where cattle
are turned out in summer and kept
near the home ranch in winter, are
less in the winter season. Mr.. George
Mitchell of IVA declares he can make
more money from 500 head under
fence than he can from 1000 head in
the open.
The Republican believes there
should be full understanding and
thorough organization. Small matters
of little or no consequence should be
swept aside for the general good and
all should come to some definite, po-
sitive understanding as to just what
will be acceptable to the great mass
of the stockmen.
Senator Warren throws out the sug-
gestion, by inference, that the matter
could be handled in much the same
way as the reclamation act, by a COM
mittee of western men representing
the interests affected. They could get
together and thrash the entire matter
out and agree upon something all
could fight for.
The question is in no sense partisan.
1t is a matter in which republicans,
democrats, socialists and populists are.
alike interested. A solution that will
give the greatest good to the greatest
number, and equal and exact justice,
is what is demanded.

Always lealses Good Yield.

In spite of the fact that for
some years the yield from the oat
crop has been q doubtful and nm
certain quantity with the majori-
ty of farmers, DR.. w. D. QUITS
has year after year realized very
satisfactory yield. This is largely
due to bis method of planting. In
stead of sowing broadcast, as is
almost the universal practice, DR..
QUITS puts his oats in early with
q one-horse drill. He runs the
drill on each side of the cotton
row and then in. the middle, max.
ing three rows ;of oats for each
row of cotton. DR.. QUITS recently
had a portion of his crop of oats
thrashed out and realized 2Ss
bushels from 232 dozen bundles,
Just as the Williamson method,
properly followed, will increase
the yield of corn, 50 will DR.. QUITS
method of growing oats increase
the yield of oats. /.
