The Passing of the Five Acre
Patch.

Patch.
The first of new year is at
hand, year that everyone firmly
believes will mark an advance in
the industrial development of
Stanley county. Already we are
beginning to hear Of plans for IN
active season among the farmers.
Spring wheat is to be tried in 4
fashion that will leave the cultiva-
tion of that grain no longer an ex-
pertinent. New attention will be
directed to the cultivation of corn.
The yields now being harvested in
this county have clearly demon
stratcd that we are well within the
corn belt, and that fair yield of
this product may be expected even
in years as unfavorable as the
season just passed.
But nothing in an agricultural
way will be rs noticeable as the
passing Of the five acre patch of
breaking. This year there will he
smaller number OF these mini
ture farms than for u number of
years past. A number Of them
have been abandoned altogether
and will 60 back to weeds and in
time to the prairie sod again.
Others will be extended by owners
or lessees into respectable sized
farms.
The five acre farm like the
house divided against itself can
not long endure. Either it be-
comes u larger farm or else it re-
turns to the virgin prairie. No
man or family can exc out even
tue scantiest livelihood on a farm
of the FIVE acre variety in Stanley
county. The increased agricu!-
tural activity that spells the suc-
cess Of the future means larger
farms. If the country rises to
prosperity through agriculture the
five acre farm must go, and if the
hoped for success comes through
stock farming. it means farms of
more than one hundred sixty
acres. Mark our word the future
of Stanley county will be future
of large farms, no matter what
turn our industrial development
takes.
Besides there are rumors Of
steam plows in the western part of
the county next year. The steam
plow will make the five acre patch
a memory Of pioneer days. The
great monster breaker makes the
settlers efforts seem insignificant.
The homcsteader's five acres Of
breaking has never been a natural
development anyway. The govern
ment required a certain amount of
breaking as evidence of good faith
on the part of the agricultural
settler. The breaking was in
nearly every instance done merely
in compliance with the law. Any
other requirement might have
been made and the settler would
have complied with the letter of
the law. We are in the impress
sion that permanent fence around
the claim would in the end have
proved of more permanent value
to the country.
Naturally when the claim is
proved up, the five acres goes
back, or else the settler has to get
a hump on himself and break out
a greater acreage. So it is that
we have come to that stage in our
development that marks tho pass
ing of the five acre farm. And it
is assuredly a mighty good thing,
for our permanent prosperity
must be established on something
more permanent.

much support-a support OF a kind
that surprised everybody. II came
from men who usually are not heard
from in public matters.
No man doubts his sincerity. No

! The late John Vandercook, presi-

most of his doctrines of right living
say:
''He Is a great governor. He has
given the state an administration on
a high plane. But Odell and Roose-
welt did more for the people after
all. They made the politicians do
what they wanted them to do. They
laid down the law TO the Legislature
land the Legislature usually obeyed
1t is true that the preachers of the
state did not agree with everything
they jid-but they got results"
Hughes considers the means fully
as important as the end. His father
, was a Baptist prsacher and much OF
the Baptist layman in the governor
today. A leGflet scattered about the
legislature during the fight on the
anti-Iacc track gambling bills, said
of him.
He Is a preacher among politi-
icians; a politician among preachers. y
He is the embodyment of system
He habitua'ly looks before he leaps,
and usually carefully measures the
space and carefully estimates his
leaping capacity in advance.
Much fun has been made OF his
conscience in comic papers and public
Ispesches. II is no myth, either. The
thing about Hughes that worries the
politicians most OF all is his placid
,ity. He consults his conscience on
every move and does what will salts
