and the courts wholly incorrupt-
lible and unbiased. For John Deitz
didn't have any money to spend
in long-drawn-out litigation.
So he chose to be an outlaw.
Whether he chose wisely or not is
a question that must needs be
loked at in longer perspective
than that in which it appears now
before it can be settled with any
degree of certainty. But that he
chose heroically is beyond reason
able question.
The story of the seven years
struggle over Cameron dam runs
the whole gamut from farce-com-
edy to tragedy.
1t involves the story of how a
lsnorting COW, with tail in air, I'M
consciously won the soubriquet of
"Deitz's scout"-and of how a
grievously wounded man, deserted
by cowardly companions, crawled
through the trackless woods for
two days and nights, suffering
agony unspeakable from exposure
and fly-blown wounds.
1t involves the story of how one
sheriff of Sawyer county (Peter-
SOM was fined and locked up in
his own Jail because he wouldn't
go after John Deitz-and also the
story of how young wife whose
babies had recently died, was left
wholly alone in the world when a
certain 1920 bullet found its bill
let in the body of Deputy Oscar
Harp, when he exposed himself
with reckless bravery on the bald
slope above the Deitz barn.

The problem is a hard one -
The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 18??-19??, 1910-01-25

In short, the great need of the cot
ton farmer is cotton grown at less
cost. and the cost can be leSSened most
by the production of legume forage
and the feeding Of it with the corn
crop on the farm. Growing abuno
ance of the best forage and corr and
feeding it to live stock, abandoning
the purchase of the low grade COM
piete mixtures and depending on the
phoSphoric acid and potash to max
the forage, will do more to cheaper
ire cost of the cotton crop than any
thing that can be done. The cotton
farms need nitrogen, but they need it
IN humus-making materials like peas
and stable manure. and it can he got
ten In this way without cost. Growing
forage and feeding cattle and hogs is
just profitable to the cotton farmer as
10 any other lass, and live stock at
the very foundation of all rational soil
improvement. no matter what the
money crop may be.

result Will be. that the farmer has a
larger amount of forage TO feed,
makes more profit from the cattle and
has a larger amount Of manure for
his money crop. Save half the cost

NEW York, Dec. "a, 19

| NEW OhA, DCCs 4OAOs
Business is continuing in better vol
ume than was expected, and the week
has been signalized by large trans
action in Wisconsin, a heavy purchase
being made by prominent uptown
manufacturer at full figures. There are
inquiries in the market for the new
Connecticut and those who have the
1910 ready early will undoubtedly find
quick sales for this type. There have
been several sales of '09 Zimmer and
the price of 18 cents seems to be pretty
well established on this class of goods.
There has been no selling to speak of
yet of '09 Pennsylvania; but the fea-
ture of the week is the advance in price
of the 1910 Pennsylvania, where there
is repetition of the buying furore that
characterized the taking over of the
1908 crops, and prices have been driven
up to the prices of that year. 1t is
pity, as far as the manufacturing inter-
ests are concerned, that such is the
case; as it seems likely that had the
rival manufacturing interests that go
into this state SO largely been less eager
to out-do one another, the crop could
have been lifted at the price paid for
the first part bought. Considerable
business is being done in old Havana
tobacco, sale of 500 bales to Phila-
delphia manufacturer being the big
event of the week in this line of goods
In Sumatra there is better than a rou-
tine business and we venture to predict
that there will be no old tobacco worth
