delegates some great theme in
which all were deeply interested.
Every session seemed to grow
better as the convention pro-
gressed.
Most of the speakers have
beensheard in this town before,
all being men of state and nation
al fame. Secretary w. n. Wig
gins needed no introduction to
Canyon people. He has been
in convention work for so long
that no session would be com
plete without the words of wis
dom from this great man.
William C. Pearce is the ac-
knowledged leader in adult bible
class work. His talks in the
convention were of very great
help to the visitors who drew
from him rev ideas and inspira-
ton.

thing set before him. His work
will long be remembered here.
The music was great. With
Mr.. Roper at the piano and Mr..
North to direct the congregation
some of the finest singing ever
heard on the Plains was enjoyed.
Mr.. Roper is an exceptionally
fine pianist on sacred music. He
will be with a world touring
party next year.
Mrs. Joiner, of Plainyiew, gave
an excellent address Monday
night, as did also Rev w. O.
Rogers, Of Amarillo.
The attendance was very good.
A bout one hundred delegates
were present, and many visitors
drove in during the days to en-
Joy a session or more. In all

CROP CONDITIONS
IN RANDALL co.
4 VISIT TO THE COUNTRY WILL
SHOW GOOD CROPS.
Not in All Places Is This True. But
Where the Land has been Well
Titled and Cultivated.

In talking with number OF
land prospectors this week, we
we're glad to see how well
pleased they were with crop
conditions. This was not true
as to the conditions found on all
farms, but on the farms where
there had been consistent farm,
lpg during the summer. all these
men were well pleased with the
result. Randall county has had
much drier season than usual.
u has been an altogether off
year, and as these men had come
from places suffering like condi-
tions, they expected TO see some
poor crops but were extremely
we'll pleased to lind so many good
1ields.
The condition in which We lind
Randall county today is mainly
the fault of the farming system
that has been in vogue. On a
good year, with plenty OF mois-
ture, a very little work would
bring forth a bountiful harvest.
The result has been that the far
mer would undertake To cult
vate nearly a section. On a year
ike this when the rains have
been Scarcer than usual, the
ground needs stirring often. The
farmer with the large crop could
not do this and consequently has
a short crop. The farmer who
mas undertaken only enough
that he can conveniently handle,
mas a good crop, and we defy any
person TO find better crops than
here in Randall county where
proper cultivation has taken
place.
The farmers have simply bit
off more than they could chew
this year. 1t is not the fault OF
the country. \ new country
may expect "a short crop quite
often, but even at that we are
better of than in the older
states. Southern Kansas has
been entirely burned out. Iowa
and Illinois have suffered. The
Dakotas lost most of their crops
Poor old Canada didn't even
raise a good weed crop.
If the farmers will plant
smaller acreage, and devote their
time to this amount the Plains
will never fail. This has beer
proven this year. Drive to the
country and see the fields. The
careful farmer has good crop
The poor farmer just across the
fence has nothing, which is true
of the poor farmer the worlo
over. We do not need to direc'
the questioner to any particular
place. In all directions from
town these two kinds of farmers
are found and can be compared
The good farmer is pleased with
the country. The poor farmer
is seeing his mistake.
Proper cultivation in the way
of deep blowing, keeping the
ground well stirred, and Will
only enough land under cultiva
tion to allow proper attention
will dispell the poor crop condi

Claims of Contestants.
The waterworks contention in Jo-

cause of it's prominence in Wallowa
county. The basis Of the conteh-
tion. as set forth by accredited
statements from both the city ana
the McCully company is substantial!
follows: The Joseph Waterworks
paay has for some years operated
u lnicipal plant at Joseph
.ough a fronchise issued some
years ago. The F. D. McCully com
pany claim this franchise to be per-
petual.
The city of Joseph offers the
counterant claim that the franchise
under which the McCully company
has operated, Is not perpetual, put
that Its life of fifteen years is under
stood, and that this life has now ex-
pired. The city further declares the
desire ito operate its own water
works plant, and has voted a bona
issue of $4,000 to that end.
The immediate cause precipitating
the present crisis is the pursuit. OF
the McCully company in Its opera
