APPROVES METH
ODS OF CONGRESS


(By Edwin A. Smith, Secretary OF
the Northwestern Country Life Com
mfssion.)
The most valuable feature of the
Dry Farming Congress is the persistent
endeavors of it's officials to make the
deliberations of immediate use to the
average farmer the world over.
The new and old settlers in the dry
farming area of the northwestern
states, who would be most benefited by
its teachings, will not, as class, be at
the fifth sessions in Spokane the first
week in October, yet / believe the con-
gress primarily exists for the benefit
of dry land farmers in all countries
under the sun.
The farmers are obtaining informa-
tion regarding methods and practices
through the extension work originated
by John t. Burns, secretary Of the
congress, from whose office in Spokane
the dry farming bulletins are sent to
where they will do the most good.
In the next place the dry farmers
are reached more effectively by local
leadership. Tn every community the
progressive farmers are missionaries in
better farming. It is of the utmost
importance that these men not only
in every community in the Inland EN-.
pire, but everywhere throughout the
dry farming states, should regard il
as duty and a privilege to attend the
next sessions.
The five talent men and the ten tai
ent men cannot escape the obligations
of community leadership. They need
the information and the inspiration OF
the great gathering of fellow workers
They are capable of hearing the scien
fists at the congress, not only with
profit to themselves but often with q
discerning ability to translate that in
formation and to transmit that in
spiration in language and methods
adapted to their own neighborhoods
In this extension work, the local
leaders can find no aid more willingly
given or of greater effectiveness, than
that of the newspapers, and more es
pecially the country press, editors Of
which are in the closest touch with the
farmers.
Doing this great work in an edequaet
way. / believe the Dry Farming Con
gress deserves the fullest support, in
time and money. of public spirited mer
of each community, as well as of such
men of national leadership.

TRANSOM WORKER GIVEN
SEVENTY-FIVE DAYS IN JAIL

Yesterday J. McBrine was convicted
of vagrancy in Judge Robins court
and sentenced to IS days in the county
Jail. This is the individual who last
week was discovered by DR.. Donald in
the act of climbing through the tran.
som opening into the Offices of Attor-
ney i. G. Campbell, in the Hustin-
Grandin building. Upon being asked
what he was doing he made his escape
from the building, but was captured
soon afterwards by Sheriff Lamb, on a
description furnished by DR.. Donald.
Owing to the fact that McBrine had not
got far enough along in his operations
before being discovered to make out a
case of burglary, he was prosecuted on
the vagrancy charge, as stated above.
