GROWTH OF FARMERS UNION
President Barrett Issues Statement
Setting Forth Rapid Strides
Made by organizati n.

President Charles S. Barrett of the
Farmers Union, issued the following
statement from Union City. Ca. the
other day:
Today the Farmers union is nation.
al in the largest sense 1t has state
organizations on the Pacific coast,
state organizations on the Atlantic
coast, state organizations on the gulf
coast and Oh the great lakes. In
seven years it has grown from a
handful of energetic and hopeful men,
captained by Newt Gresham at Point,
Tex, to an American army varying
from 100000 to 100000 members,
covering men engaged in every spe-
cies of agriculture in the United
States.
/ think i can detach myself sufi-
GENTLY from my love for and interest
in this work to realize that this ex-
pansion represents achievement, and
phenomenal achievement at that.
l cheerfully venture the assertion
that no agricultural organization in
the civilized world has ever recorded
SO marvellous a growth. The best
feature is it stability.
We have organized the American
farmer for keeps
Yet in the face of this notable
achievement, and the shadow of great
er things to come, we find here and
there carping critics questioning as to

Dry Corn Tests for Hogs.

The Iowa experiment station has
made investigations relative to the
preparation of corn for hogs. Six forms
of corn were tested-dry ear corn,
soaked shel1ed corn, dry cornmeal,
soaked cornmeal. dry corn and cob
meal. The experiment included 312
hogs of all ages, fed In 80 lots.
The results were summarized and
the conclusions drawn that dry corn
is highly relished by hogs and the
most convenient to feed. Owing to
the greater time required to masticate
it, pigs ate it more slowly than soaked
corn and cornmeal

Cost Of slIaae.

In some cases where the cost OF
production of meat, milk and other
products has been figured silage has
been rated at absurdly low prices. The
excuse made for this Is that the silage
is valued at the cost of growing and
putting it away. But as long as it is
customary to figure other feeds at mar.
ket prices silage used in connection or
in comparison with them should be val.
ued at nearly as possible on the same
basis.

Shallow Cultivation.

The theories of shallow cultivation
and deep under-drainage are exactly
right for vast areas of land, but many
of us have some land SO heavy that
experience shows we must not follow
too closely the general rules laid down
by our scientists, but will find it
handy to have a little good judgment

otype machines and other machinery
will be installed by the Times, which
under Patterson ownership was print
ed at the News plant.
Senator Patterson gives the follow
ing reasons for selling the Times:
Il consider that the battle between
the people and the interests here in
Denver has been practically won by
the people. With the defeat OF the
water franchise and the adc ption Of
the charter amendments Denver has
been made free city, and the most
offensive phase of the rule of the cor
poration bosses has been ended. If
the people will use the recall and
initiative and f,rendum wisely and
fearlessly they can enforce cleaner,
more economical. and the same time
more efficient administration of Den
yor's affairs than they have enjoyed
f-r many years.
Il found ,he eXacting duties of two
daily newspapers more than a man OF
my years should burden himself with.
Mr.. Hustled wanted The Times, and
he agreed to pay the price named,
with the battle of the peo-
pie won, the sale giving me the op-
portunity to concentrate my best ener-
gies on the News-which is my first
love in the newspaper world, anyway
Il parted with it.

HOW THE COUNTIES
GET FEDERAL JA|LS
MEETING OF COUNTY COMMlS-
sIoNERs INTEREsTED-MAkE
TRANSFER AT MUSkOGEE.

Muskogee, Okla, June 29.-Within
the next ten days a meeting of the
county commissioners of Craig. Mus
kosee, Pittsburg and Carter counties
will be called in Muskogee by Grant
Victor, United States marshal, for ;ae
purpose # arranging the details ol
the transfer OF LIE federal jails in
these counties, except in the case
of the federal jail here, which will be
decided by the government to the
city of Muskogee. The transfer will
be made under an act of congress
which has just become law.
Under the provisions of this bill the
state legislature must pass an aet
which will require counties wherein
these four jails are located to keep
such prisoners as the federal authori-
ties may wish held in them pending
lial and transfer TO other prisons
The bill also requires that before the
transfers are made that each of the
counties shall pay to the government
certain claims made by the federal
authorities for keeping the countys
prisoners in the federal jails fer a
short period after statehood and be.
fore county jails could be built.
Thse accounts amouns to about
$4,000 for each county. In return for
this the counties will get without any
ether cost whatever an excellent Jail
site and splendidly equipped jail
These jails cost the government
$4,000 each when they We're built
seven years ago. The iail property 1T
Muskogee is right in the heart of the
business district now, and the ground
alone is worth $4,000. When the
jail was built the citizens of the town
raised a bonus of $1,000 and bought
the ground for the jail and gave it
to the government. 1t is in considera-
tion Of this that the city of Musko-
gee, instead of Muskogee county will
get this property.
On this site it is proposed by the
county and city to join and erect a
ten-story office building which will
be used as a court house and city
hall, the remainder of the building to
be leased as office and store rooms.
1t Is figured that in this manner a
100000 bond issue to build the build.
ing would be more than paid cut by
the rental income of the building be-.
fore the bonds mature and the city and
county would own the office building
without the cost of penny.
