''PRACTlCAL
 FARMING"
Agricultural Commissioner Rock Is- land Again in State on Lecture
 Tour.

Little Rock.-F. s. White, agricul- ture and horticultural commissioner of the Rock Island, is again in Arkan- sas holding meetings of farmers at stations and towns along the line of the railroad and delivering talks on "Pratical Farming"
 While here Mir. White said that he was being greeted by large numbers of farmers and planters along his route and that much interest was be- ing taken in improved methods of farming. He illustrates his eXperi ments with samples which he carries in his private car, which is a con of nearly every plant, fruit and ce- real grown in the United States.
 MT White does not believe that the boil weeyil can be fought successfully with other insects or by chemicals and he declared his views upon the subject. The planters make the great mistake of not utilizing the ear ly part of the season for planting their crops,' said Mr. White. There are practically 150 days available for the season and the planters should take advantage of the first fifty. Then the proper selection of soil and the proper preparation of the seed bed, together with the right sort of cultur- al methods, should insure a freedom from the boil weeyil for the lower crop. It will be a hard fight with the boil weevil for the middle crop and the weevil is almosr certain to take the last crop"

Made Slash at Employers Throt

Fort Smith.-Because he was not as- signed to work that pleased him, Lem Wood cut his employer, J. H. Bently, on the chin in an effort to cut his throat. Wood was employed at the sand plant and was taken off one job and put on another. He demanded reinstatement and being refused he whipped out his knife and made a slash at Bently's throat, but was just a trifie too far away, the point of the knife striking Bently's chin, inflict- ing painful but not serious wound. Wood made his escape, but was sub sequently captured as he was enteiing his back yard.

Russellville.-A petition is being circulated in the school of this city by the pupils who ask that they be given Monday, instead of Saturday, for their weekly holiday. The peti- tion is being signed by a great many students, but it is meeting with some opposition.
 The principal reason given for the change is that it will create a col lege spirit among the pupils and thus improve the school" The petition is addressed to the RussellyiIle School Board, but that body has taken no ac- tion on the question up to the present time, as the petition has not yet been placed in their hands.

Those Who do not believe that
prosperity is coming are the ones
who do not want it to come.
New York State has a total of
$500, 600, 600 in her savings banks
and is Indifferent to the advent
of rainy days or the wolf at the

If the torpedo boats can get
no higher than Memphis for
fear of not getting back again
there will be an argument for
the 14-foot channel which even
the argument of breaking bulk
at New Orleans to get to sea can
not answer.
The high prices which aviators
are commanding these days are
such as chauffeurs were COM
manding not so very long ago,
relatively speaking. Demand
exceeds supply at present, but in
spite of the dangers, supply will
equal or exceed demand ere long.
1t has come at last. Smoking
by men is to be allowed in a
church at Dayton, Ohio. Efforts
to popnlarize the church in these
days are advancing so rapidly
that the church may soon be-
come the most formidable COM

go to have a good time.
Commander Peary's deliber-

Editors al Montrose.

While the number of state associa-
tion editors who met at Montrose last
week was unusually ANAL for mid
summer Meeting" there were enough
to hold an interesting session. Follow
ing is part of the report Of their
meeting from the Montrose Press:
1.-THE midsummer meeting of the
Colorado Editorial association was con-
cluded yesterday afternoon after very
interesting session lasting through the
day. Early in the morning, through
the kindness of local autoists, the
editors and their wives were escorted
over Spring Creek mesa to the largest
orchards in the state.
Upon their return they met in busi-
ness session at the /. o. o. f. hall
with President Hosmer and Secretary
Lawless occupying the official chairs
Mayor John Q. Allen was present and
gave them an address of welcome, tell
ing them in his usual pleasant style
that the town and anything they
wanted was theirs.

favorable and unfavorable to just

proposed, and these will be remem-

numerous others.
A paper was read written by H. F.
Lake of the Gunnison News Champion,
which elected much favorable comment
on the question of the government
continuing in the business of printing
envelopes for private parties. This
eliminated in the passage of the fol-
lowing resolution:
1--WE protest against the practice of
the government in printing envelopes
for local business men. Furnished at
less than cost, they are sent out under
the franking privilege at the expense
of the postoffice department, while the
country printer in conduct of his busi-
ness has to pay transportation charges.

Denuer Markets.

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS, Sep
tember 29-The receipts Of cattle here
were very fair last week but not heavy.
There was e good demand all week and
brisk trade from day to day. Com
pared with a week ago good cattle
closed 10 to 25c higher. Choice North
Park beeves sold at IS Is and pretty
good fat steers sold at 81 90 to s4.75.
Cows sold up to 1895 and from that
down to 50 As for the best. Spayed
heifers brought So 80 and fancy cows
and heifers would have brought more.
Bulls sold at s2. 25 to SO 90 and veals at
SIS 90 to s6.75 the latter being sharply
higher for the week. Feeder and
stocker demand was good. There were
a number of country buyers on hand
and local dealers and commits sion men
had liberal orders, the result being a
good brisk trade and firm to higher
prices. Good to choice steers are sell
ing at 49, 30 to "a 40 and the fair to
good are going largely at SIS As to SO. 80.
Stock cows are especially wanted and
sold at S2.45 to 50 S5. Today's market
fully steady with last week despite 1.-THE
fact that the eastern markets are re-
ported 10 to 25c lower. There were
about 1000 cattle on sale here today.
The hog demand was strong and tops
sold today at So. 80. this being the high
est price paid here since the local yards
were established. Receipts of hogs
during the week were quite liberal but
all sold readily and more could have
bnen disposed of to advantage.
The sheep demand was good and
prices held up well on all but lambs,
these being little lower. Lambs sold
today at $6.75. ewes at s4.35 and
wethers at s4.75. The market is in
nice shape and shipments wanted here.

as a rule, triumphs. The wait
ing may test our patience, but
the reverse is pretty sure to
come, and those citizens who go
quietly and peacefully along at

lie. The last time l bathed in
public l overheard couple of
ladies' say: If l was as fat as
that man l would take my baths
in private and since that time
l have done So"
But the big President did not
confine all of his remarks to
jests. His talks were adapted to
every condition, displaying his
broadness of mind, his thorough
sympathy with all, his quickness
of perception and intim a tie
knowledge. His finger seemed
to be not alone upon the pulse of
the nation but upon each indi-
vidual pulse. There was no par
ticle of arrogance because of ex
alted position. Only desire to
mix with the people appeared in
the demeanor of President Taft.
And that is what has gained
for him the name: "Everybody's
President"
When in the South before cleo
tion Mr.. Taft said to the people
of the South: Il did not come
here to claim your votes; l came
to prove to you that l regard you
as an integral part of the Nation
and believe you should have your
active part in the government. "
In discussing this sentiment the
writer heard Southern man
this week say, rather regretfully:
Il did not vote for Taft, but
should l have another opportun-
ity I feel l would have to do SO;
he is really proving himself
"Everybody's President. +"
We must concede that most if
not all of our Presidents have
been, in some way or another,
unusually great men, but none
of them have been bigger or
broader than big Bill Taft. i"

The State of Colorado is natur-
ally Republican-so are a large
majority Of the counties, includ-
ing Delta. The conditions which
lost the state to the Republican
party last fall, also lost it Delta

It's a long time until another

to guard against the effect of

MoHAMMED AND THE MOUNTAIN.

MOHAMNED AND THE MOUNTAIN.
We read that Mohammed, after
sitting down in a dignified posi-
ton and commanding the noun
tain to come to him, finally got
tired of waiting and remarked
that: eff the mountain won't
come to Mohammed, Mohammed
will go to the mountain"
In this case the mountain was
as obstinate as are some of the
political factions in the Republi-
can party, State and local.
But the Mohammeds are not as
gracious, as condescending or as
compromising as was the Seer of
the Ancients.
Giberalter may loom up as their
mountain of success, but these
political Mohammeds remain sit
ting and beckoning to the noun
tain: "Step over this way, please;
l want you, / want you, and /
want you; and propose to get
you, without the help of these
other fellows.
That is the political situation!
And, in the meantime the In
dians from Mt. Democrat, hill
of less size and bleached forma-
ton, trespass upon the unguard-
ed fertile slopes of Mt. Success,
gather it's berries and retreat to
their Businesses where they eat,
drink, dance and shout, casting
delighted grimaces at the Repub-
lican Mohammeds who won't go
to their mountain but stubbornly
The Delta independent., 1909-10-01

A newspaper dispatch tells
that: &C. R. Oakford, editor of
Socialist newspaper at Deer
field, near Garden City, Kansas,
who was hanged in effigy for at
tacking President Taft in his
newspaper. was, in the evening
egged off the street while at
tempting to make a street speech,
by the citizens who took offense
at his remarks" Another case,
perhaps, of a fellow trying to
carry out the self-imposed task
of saving the country. There
are now nearly a hundred million
people in the United States and
at least a per cent of them come
to the conclusion after reading
the Appeal to Treason or some
other Spanish-American produc-
ton, that they have mission to
save the country and that to die
in it's abuse would be an act of
martyrdom which would entitle
their ashes to be placed in the
urn at the top of the pinnacle.
There are all kinds of cranks-
some harmless, some capable of
aiding progress and reform, and
abnoxious and dangerous. OF
the latter class the political crank
is pre-eminent. His particular
field suggests disturbance and
his excited brain can conceive
anything from mere bowling to
assassination. The country may
suffer wrongs but there are laws
to right wrongs. The Individual
sometimes suffers wrongs-in-
tentionally or unintentionally-
at the hands of his neighbors, or
even from his relatives. Is it not
natural that a government might
be afflicted? But two wrongs
don't make one right. Justice,
