Help the Weak Farmer.

It is the duty of the strong to help
the weak. It is the duty of every
land owner to assist his tenants and
endeaVor to make them prosperous
and contented. Every white tenant in
the South should be encouraged by
the land owner to get on cash basis,
diversity his crops, send his children
to school, and If possible, ultimately to
buy and own small farm. If this is
not done there can at least be a COOP
Grafton between the land owner and
the tenant, which would greatly
strengthen the control and marketing
Of the cotton crop each season. The
weak cotton growers of the South are
the men who need help in the mar
keting of cotton. They preponderate
both in numbers and bales grown in
the cotton area of the South.
The greatest prosperity in any ag-
ricuutural country will be found in
the success of the small farmer. The
small, thrifty land owner means better
roads, better homes, better schools, q
higher type Of educated husbandry and
withal more advanced, cultured and
progressive civilization. We waSt to
call the specific attention of large land
owners to the subjects discussed above
and request their serious consideration
Of the policies advocated and their
prompt cooperation in getting them
into practical cooperation

On Being Wei Fixed.

You frequently hear some one speak
Of farmer as being swell fixed" Gen.
orally the meaning Is that the farm
er has lots of land and cattle and pos
sibly other property. The true mean
ing does not necessarily mean that he
has great deal of property. The
poor farmer can be well fixed as
we'll as the rich one. The News idea
of a well fixed farmer is one who
has nice house, with shade trees,
shrubbery and vines In the yard. a
good well of water that is piped into
the kitchen and lots, good fences and
gates in repair, good barn and sheds
and convenient lots, poultry and rab-
bit-proof garden, good orchard and
vineyard with a variety of fruits and
berries, and good soil, well titled,
drained and in good cultivation. The
fact of the business is there are more
well fixed farmers of moderate wealth
than those who have an abundance.
The homes of many of our wealthy
farmers are more like camphouses
than homes. There is little comfort
and less convenience, and they are
not "we1l fixed" The main cause of
this is that 80 out Of 100 farmers try
to cultivate too much land All Of il
is halfway titled and many things are
neglected that could be attended to
if too much land was not put ink.

Mexico's Poor Wheat Supply

Writing from Saltillo, Consul Thorn
as w. Voetter says that on account Of
the poor Mexican wheat crop har.
vested in 1907 about all the wheat
raised has now been ground and the
mills will shut down. The supply OF
flour on hand is not sufficient to last
until the new crop is harvested, and
millers there are DESTROYS that the fed
eral government should reduce or take
off completely the import duties on
wheat, but so far as known no con-
certed effort has been made to secure
this action. One of the mills in Sal.
tillo has for several months past been
grinding wheat from the Argentine re-
public, which was imported at the
period when the government last re-
duced the import duties on wheat.

swiftly down the sagging hawser,
through the drenching foam that
sprang from the rocks and nearly
took their breath away, holding each
other more and more tightly, and
rocking swiftly from side to side.
At first they went very fast; but as
the rope sagged their motion was
slower and slower; and though the
rope between them passed over the
joins in the hawsers the obstacles
checked their speed. Then their feet
dragged in the foam and they moved
very, very slowly, till at last the cur
rent began dragging at their feet and
the oldest sailor ashore yelled out
sharply:
Lower 'em! Lower 'em! The cur.
rent'H fetch 'em!"
And suddenly they splashed in the
water and the foam flew all over them;
and sailor waist-deep in the water
and holding to others in a chain,
seized them and dragged them on to
the beach. And, without waiting to be
united, they Joined the rest in hauling

BIG COTTON FARMS.

Their Effect on the General Diversifl
cation Plan.
| Diversification is one of the great
modern methods by which the agricul
turist will redeem the South. The one

to year will certainly result in hard.
ship to the Southern planter. To make
money on his cotton he must raise the
supplies Of the home on his plantation,
planting little Of everything needed
in the home, that he has, that he does
not want or can net use, he can al.
ways sell at a very good price. Di-
yersity has beeu preached to the Tex
as farmer for SO long, but cotton was
selling at big price, and cotton lands
going up fast in value. The landlords
of many places compel the tenant
farmers to cultivate each year so much
cotton, letting him have but little land
for anything else. This rs on of the
hardshtps of tenant faRming in the
South. AS write this I can look out
of my window and see far in the dis
lance one Of the largest ranches in
this country - the Light Brothers
ranch, one of the biggest in this coun.
try except the Jot I. Gunter at Gun
ter, Texas. The Gunter ranch is six
miles square, and seven or eight miles
across. The Light Brothers is some
twelve miles square, but is not al
together square, some fifteen or more
miles across. Just think of the i'm
mense cotton fields of these ranches.
It Is some sixteen miles from here to
Celina; that is Pilot Point. You, on
leaving Pilot Point going east, begin
to go along beside the Light Brothers
ranch and travel on to Celina in Col
lin County all the way beside this
great ranch. When you get to Celina
you see another, the English ranch, of
some twenty-five or thirty thousand
acres all in one body. All of these
are worked by the tenant farmers on
the share of one-third of grain and
corn and one-fourth of cotton. Just
imagine that you were in Texas and
saw the immense wheat, corn and cot
these jumbo ranches.
Diversity is the thing that most of
the Southern farmers should do with
their crops, and many have made a
success of it this year; but others can
not. Why? The landlords will not
let them have the land; to get land
to work they must work so much cot
ton; pay money rent for all the land
they work outside of corn and cot
ton, and some exact money rent for
the corn lands.
The modern method of diversifying
crops is one of the salvations of the
South, with working Of less land, CIV
ing the same better culture, but I'M
til the landlords agree to this it can
not be done by the tenant farmer,

They did not stir even when the ship
gave long shiver and another. Then
the chief officer hurried forward. He
told them to hurry aft, and in a few
moments the great vessel was rent in

ing so violently that those on it could
scarcely cling to the rails. They
were so yards from the rocks where
the sea broke, and perhaps hun
dred and fifty from the shore, when
they managed to get a line to the
beach.
Those aboard secured their end
firmly to the ship and then their COM
rades ashore pulled it as taut as they
could-tugging SO hard that the poop
of the ship moved yards nearer the
breakers. The sailors substituted a
stouter rope for the cord between the
man and the woman, tied a loop in the
end of the rope and creased it to
make it run more easily. They put it
over the hawser first, SO that one
would hang at each side, and told
them to hold each other firmly. Then
two or three men held them over the
side ready to start

they kissed each other.

Natures Pattern.

A prairie dog not only claims the
hole he digs and occupies, but he
seems to think that little of the
ground adjacent to that hole should
be his also. He does not try to mo-
nopolize the entire prairie, however,
so as to make his fellow-dogs bring
him part of the grass roots and mes
quite beans which they gather. The
unspeakable biped calling himself

little quadrupeds as flower" animals.

ASSAULT CHARGE
IS DISMISSED
JUSTICE HAZEN FINDS THAT
REED, SLOAN AND RICE WERE
NOT GUILTY OF ASSAULTING
CRAIG AND OTHERS.

The charges of assault to commit
murder preferred by A. D. Carr, AL
bert Carr and Ben Craig against w.
p. Reed, A. J. Sloan and Arthur Rice
were dismissed at o'clock last
night by Justice Of the Peace A. Fl.
Hazen, before whom the preliminary
examinations were he;d.
The cases are the outgrowth of the
shooting affray near Orofino, at
which time George Moore was killed,
Reed. Sloan and A. d. Carr were
wounded After the shooting Reed,
Rice and Sloan were rearrested on
cattle stealing charges and were
brought to Lewiston for trial. After
being placed in the Nez Perce coun-
ty Jail the prisoners secured war
rants for the arrest of A, ID. Carr on
charge of numbering George Moore
and against Albert Carr and Ben
Craig on charges of assault with In
tent to commit murder. The war
rants for the arrest of Reed, Rice
and Sloan were afterwards secured
by the Cars and Craig.
The evidence introduced at The
preliminary examination OF Reed ant
associates was of a character to show
that Moore had never been arrested
ON any charge; that Reed had beer
under arrest, but the case against
him had been dismissed and he had
| not been formally rearrested. Sloar
was at liberty on bonds and Reet
rode from Oroflno at time wher
he was not under guard by the Orc
| fno constable. The details OF th'
! shooting were told by several wit
nesses, and suggested the Carrs an
Craig had fired upon the defendant
from ambush.
