FOR BETTER FARMING.

Circular Bulletin No. is a recent
publication by Oregon Agricultural Col
lege Experiment Station, at Corvallis
From it we take the following by
Prof. James Withycombe:
For wheat growing, the Columbia
River Basin can not be eXcelled. How
ever, exclusive wheat growing can not
be continued indefinitely. There are
but few crops that will exhaust the
soil more rapidly than wheat, espe-
cially so when grown under summer
fallowed conditions. No soil is SO rich
but that it can be exhausted. 1t mat
ters not how rich soil may be at the
beginning, continuous wheat growing
will finally exhaust it. For example,
every ton of wheat the farmer ships
from his farm carries with it So worth
of plant food Livestock husbandry is
indispensable for the maintenance of
soil fertility. The fattening of live
stock and wheat growing go hand in
hand nicely. Not only will live stock
solve the problem of plant food and
crop production, but it will enable
the farmer to utilize all of his land all
the time. At present one-half of his
farm is idle. 1T will also provide en-
ployment throughout the whole year.
The question of markets has been
solved, and the only problem now is
production 1t matters but little what
branch of livestock husbandry is fol-
lowed, whether it be horses, cattle,
sheep, or swine, the field for the pro-
duction of either is certainly an in
viting one However, upon the ordi-
nary wheat farms, pork and mutton
production will probably be found to
be the most desirable. In fact, con-
ditions over large area of the Column
bia River Basin are especially well
suited to the economical production of
these classes of livestock.
There should be trainloads of fat
hogs and sheep shipped out annually
from these sections. The great feed
ing grounds for lamb and mutton pro-
duction of the Northwest should be
found on the wheat farms of the In
land Empire.
The Sheep MISREPRESENTATION
are highly favorable for the develop
ment of profitable sheep feeding in
dustry on the wheat farms. This in
dustry will not only yield large direct
returns to the farmer, but will also
conserve the fertility of the farm.
Climatic and soil conditions are very
favorable to the industry. The COM
paratively dry atmosphere and a soil
practically free from mud are condu-

THE TARIFF PROBLEM.

The Hartford Courant, one of the most conservative of the New England Republican papers. is firmly convinced that there is to be genuine tariff revis- ion by the Republicans. It quotes the party platform on the subject, and also quotes expressions from MT. Taft to substantiate it's contention that the present tarifr schedules are to be not only reduced, but revised. Any other kind Of tariff revisIon," it contends, would. most assuredly. be resented and punished-by the country as a tricky breach of faith. We have been reading in the dispatches that party managers Hre puzzled by the heavy shrinkage In Republican pluralities in some of the big cornfield States out West. There's no mystery about it at all. any more than there is about the made in the Iowa senatorship primary. It was due very largely-though not wholly-to the anger which the "stand- pat" folly of successive Republican Congresses has klndled among the Re- publican voters"
 The Courant gives 1t as its opinion and belief that all that standpat fool ishness is ended. and that those who engaged in 1t have taken warning and will no longer oppose genuine revis- ion. Our contemporary may be cor rect, yet 1t is possible that this is one of the cases where the wish Is father to the thought" and that 1t is governed by the saying that "what we wish we readily believe" Much Of 1 New England Is seriously dissatisfied with the present tariff for the natural reason that manufacturers of certain products up there cannot get their raw materials as cheaply as they could if the tariff were materially reduced Thence. the standpat theory and prao- tiee have been very repugnant Co both Democrats and Republicans in New England
 It may be that it's anxiety for real revision and reduction makes The Courant more sanguins and credulous than 1t would be if 1t did not want a lower tariff. At the same time we are not able to declare with any certainty that the pledges in favor of revision will not be carried out in both letter and spirit. There are two good reasons why the leaders of the party should deal honestly and squarely in this mat

ALABAMA EDITOR IN FLORIDA.

The editors of Alabatna- and his friends throughout the State will be interested in the news that Milton A. Smith. who so ably and for so long conducted The Anniston Hot Blast, has entered the weekly newspaper field in Florida. Mir. Smith has become the proprietor and editor of The. True Democrat. of Tallahassee, one of the largest, brightest and cleanest week lies of Floriea. He succeeds John c. Collins as editor and proprietor and his saIutatory appeared in last weeks is- sue of his newspaper.
 MT. smith's judgment on public ques- tions was sound and he was not given to running of on hysterical fads. The Florida constituency of the new edit or of The True Democrat will find that ha has the courage of his convictions. The editorial page will be well worth reading, too.
 Mr. Smith left daily newspaper work in Alabama because his health broke down under the strain. His old asso- ciates of the Alabama press entertain she kindiiest wishes for him in his new field.

 The French Government leans more and more toward purchasing the splen-' did house on the Avenue du Malakon at the corner of Avenue du Bols de BouIogne. which Count Boni de Oastel- lane built and furnished with $3,OOO'Oog of his wife's money.
 This mansion is a duplicate Of the Petit Trianon, at Versailles. which Louis XIV. built to please Mime. du Barry, whose extravagances and lux uries helped to precipitate the French revolution. The mansion, the product of the wild extravagance of Apna Gould's first husband, has been white elephant" on the hands of the present Princess Helie de Sagan.
 France possesses no suitable mod ern palace in which to entertain for4 eign royalties or other dignitaries who come here as the nations guests. For this purpose, "Bonis Folly" as the mansion has been nicknamed. is sufn- ciently dignifed and palatial. The suggestion is that the Government buy the house, all It's furnishings and the art objects it contains.
 The suggestion also is made that Count Boni who atill is verys much in love with the collection of objects of art for which his wife's good Ameri- can dollars paid be installed as cur ator of the house and its contents. Should this be done it would seem that ironical fate is playing into Count Bonrs hands. Such a post would please him the more because his occu- pancy of 1t would greatly irritate his dear cousin de Sagan.

 Washington Special to Brooklyn Eagle.
 That the new tarin law will be based on the minimum and maximum plan and go into effect some time in Julv fa the opinion of Chairman Payne of inc House Committee on Ways and Means, as expressed today. after tong talk about schedules with the more to say than anybody else about the formulation of the new tariff law, his views are well worth consideration by importers. business men and other interests affected by tarih tinkering.
 MT. Payne's inclinations are unmts- takably toward a maximum and min imum tariff. This is the plan in eftect In Russia, Germany and France and IS being adopted pretty generally by Flu ropean governments in reconstructing their system of port duties. If 1t is taken up by Congress in the extra ses- sion which Mir Taft will call immedi- ateIy after March 1. 1t will mean that the Dingley law. will not be changed in SO many partlcuars after all The present -ates will be left to stand pretty much as they are, and in addi- tion the President will be authorized to give a concession of say 20 per cent. to such nations as grant similar con- sessions to us. The highest rate shall be imposed on goods from countries that refuse to make tariff concessions on imports coming from the United States.
 The Republican leaders seem to be weakening on tariff revision. Some of those who have expressed themselves since election are not nearly so strong for sweeping revision as they were prior to November 3. Mir Payne de- 1lared today that he thought the big Republican vote on Tuesday indicated that the people still are for protection.
