In about eight weeks, in the case of
radishes. the crop is ready to be pulled.
When they are pulled UP the bed is imme-
diately planted with something else. SUCH
soil as is used in this kind of farm is
entirely too valuable to he permitted to
rest for minute. 1t must be earning
something for its owner all the time
BY the time the radiSheS are ready to
be pulled the lettuce is just ready 10
spread out. Three rows Of radishes are
now planted in between. After these are
pulled another crop is planted with two
rows and by the time these two rows of
radishes are ready for pulling the lettuce
is full grown and also ready for the mar
ket.
Another vegetable that is grown profi:a-
bly, ntliese out-of-season farmhouses is
cauliflower. Large beds of parsley and
mint are also grown. these latter being
planted in rows from six to eight inches
apart. When the parsley or mint is cut
one or two rows of radishes are planted
in between.
The secret of success in this novel farm
ing is in keeping the soil always at work.
The space is SO limited that unless this
is done the farm will not pay. 1t is of
course most expensive way to raise
vegetables. but as the growers have d
market peculiarly their own and one in
which they can dictate the prices the
profits of the business are assured.

intervals to the sake. Every few days
it will need more tying. If the tying is
careleSSly done or-neglccted entirely the
fruits are almost certain to break the
stems down before they have ripened.
Less carefuness is needed when the
more common method is used for Letting
the plants grow. they will. over low
supports that are near the ground and
just serve to hold the toma to away from
actual contac. with the earth.
In every method let the gardener re-
member that the aim of all forms of grow

ca ll fruit all the sunlight j. can possibly
get. Plenty of sunlight will prevent two
apparently contradictory troubles. 1t will

comes to sha ded fruits. 1t will also pre-
vent the rotting that comes to fruits that
start to ripen fast and then suddenly

Therefore, even if the tomato plants
are permitted to sprawl over the popular
barrel hoop or similar supports when they
will need no tying. it will pay to see that
the leaves do not shade the fruit Toma-
toes make enormous LEAKAGE. 1t is not
difficult however. to keep bending the
leaf stems back and training them under.
The barrel-hoop support is made simply
by mailing three sharpened stakes TO

the hoop. A cylinder Of poultry netting
set over each vine and held tightly by
deeply driven stakes makes an excellent
support.
If lath is plentiful. a Very good system
of supports for vines planted in rows may
be made by laying one slat another
and driving q wire nail through the upper
ends that the two lathS will swing

A makeshift arrangement Is To drive
two short pieces of wood at each end of
the tomato row and set long Stats on them
TO run along the row. The plants are
trained between the STATS. The continuance
keeps them within bounds. but does lit

An extremely effective but troublesome

plants will run oveB it exactly as they
would over the earth This latticework
need not be raised more than few

. HE simplest method of tomato
raising In large commercial


quantities is to let the vines
sprawl along the ground; but
this plan produces less and
smaller fruit and causes the loss of more
fruit through rot than even the crudest
methods of training.
1t is probable thai the very best results
are obtained from training the tomatoes
upright. pruning each vine to only single
stem. In this method the side shoots are
all pinched off. and after three or four
clusters of fruit have set all subsequent
blossoms are pinched OF. This is the way
to get mo-. only the earliest fruit. but also
the most regular in size.
Another upright training system con-
sists in training each vine with two or
three stems.
In this upright training the main prop
is a strong stake set deeply into the
ground letting at leas. four feet remain
above the soil. Crosspieces are nailed to
this at intervals. if the tomato is grown
to more than one stem. In all forms of

According to Hepburn, the
voters have no mandate, no right
of direct command to the men
selected to legislate for them.
He is kind enough to grant them
the high and holy privilege of
recommending" things, but
only subject to the whims or
judgment or desires of officers.
If language means anything
Mr.. Hepburn is not fit to repre-
sent Idaho or any other state in
a national legislature. If he has
no higher conception of his duty
to his state, if that is his notion
of the right of citizens, he is
about 200 years behind times, and
belongs in the day of Frederick
the Great or the Louis who said
he was the state.
No wonder Hepburn opposes
the direct primary If the vot-
ers had a direct voice in the
nomination of senators, after his
speech in Boise he wouldn't get
enough support to win nomin-
alton as constable in Wallace,
his home town.

Before the recent state con-
vention of Republicans, Senator
Hepburn told the representatives
of the people there assembled
that they had no right to incor-
porate in their platform any
thing resembling an attempt to
legislate for the people. With
an arrogance and insolence ap-
preaching the sublime, he said
II have always opposed, as I
do now, any platform which may
show any attempt to legislate
for the people. You are not en-
powered to make such a plat
form. You may recommend, and
if the officers the people elect
find your recommendations sound
and base for legislation, they
will act. If they do not find your
recommendations sound you
must net be offended, for you
may be wrong.
That is to say, the delegates
elected by the people to name
candidates for Office and formu-
late issues for the electorate may
recommend all they please, but
they have NO right to pledge the
party or its officials to the per-
formance of specific pledges or
the enactment of specific legisla-
ton. If the officers whom the
people elect think fit to enact
such legislation as is recommen-
ded, well and good, but if they
do not please, they may do as
they see fit and the people May
suffer the fate to which the elder
Vanderbilt consigned them in a
famous epigram.

w. IL. HEYBURN.


Spokane Spokesman Review CRepublican.)
The people of Idaho must read
with amazement the audacious
utterances of Senator w. B. Hey
burn before the Republican state
convention at Boise-not that
they were surprised at the tenor
of those utterances, for Senator
Hepburn is by nature and train
ing autocratic, dictatorial and re-
sentful of restraiRt-butw with
amazement that among all that
host of Republican delegates
who sat supinely and listned to
his destructive utterances there
was not found one man of cour-
age and spirit to resent his bold
assault upon the rights of the
people.
Senator Hepburn attacked the
foundations of representative
government when he declared:
L have always opposed, as 1
do now, any platform which may
show any attempt to legislate for
the people. You are not empow-
cred to make such a platform.
You may recommend, and if the
officers the people elect elect
find your recommendations sound
and base for legislation, they
will act. If they do not find your
recommendations sound you must
not be offended, for you may be
wrong"
And again when he said: "You
are here to recommend, not to
pledge"
These are astounding doctrin-
es to fall from the tongue of a
senator of the Republican party
whose first platform in 1856 be-
gan with an eloquent demand for
the maintenance of the princi-
pies promulgated in the Decla-
ration of Independence" declar-
ed in clear-cut language for laws
that would harmonic with its
principles and invited "the affili-
alton and cooperation of free
men of all parties in support of
the principles herein declared"
Senator Hepburn arrogates to
himself the power and privilege
which tyrants have always
of rejecting the will of
the people whenever that will
may run counter to their own
will. you may petition me, but
you shall not direct me-" For
stubborn adherence to that vic
ieus doctrine Charles I. lost his
head and George III. sacrificed
the American colonies.
