NO CAUSE FOR COMPLAINT.

The Cedar Rapids Republican. pub
lished in Iowa. and being a real Re
publican paper hasn't very much pa
thence with the antics of the brethren
who have gone astray in the past few
The Republican calls atten-
ton to the situation in the Hawkeye
state and its argument would seem
TO be conclusive. 1t says:
In Iowa the politicians have made the
most fuss over the so-called
reign OF higher prices. Yet of all
the people, Iowa people have been
most benefited. Three-fourths Of
the people of this state are farm
ers and the other one-fourth are
more or less directly interested
in farming.
All the products of the farm have
brought high prices. Corn, so
cents a bushel; and wheat a dol
lar a bushel; cattle. eight cents a
pound, and hogs nine cents
pound, and horses 'Out of sight"
During these years the farmers
have been able to sell anything
they had at good prices. They
have prOspered as never before.
They have paid off mortgages
and they have bought autOmo-
biles. For the first time in the
history of the state they have
verify come into their own.
At the same time they have bought
more sugar for a dollar. more
kerosene for a quarter, and fence
wire has been cheap. They have
been buying shoes at practically
the same prices and they can get
just as good a suit OF clothing
for So or $40 as ever they
bought, if anything better made.
But the politicians have ranted
against these conditions and
ranted until they have almost
brought things TO a halt. These
politicians have neither under
stood the people, nor have they
tried 10 serve their interests
they have simply laid what they
believed were the foundations for
their own continuance in office.
But if the politicians succeed. the
farmers Will find that they Will
again be selling everything for
less, while the things they buy
will not vary much.
The Iowa farmer has been prosper
Gus for a good many years. He has
found a market for his crops at top
prices and there isn't the shadow of
an excuse for him to kick on the en-
HANGED cost of living when he has
been the chief beneficiary. But the
Iowa farmer is peculiar.

$500 each. One butt cut off a tree
from which three ten-fOot and one
twelve-foot cuts have been taken
measures fOrty-five inches in diane
ter the tree ranging down to twenty
four inches in diameter.
The description proves the great
value OF the walnut trees that have
been submerged for a century or
more. If the early settlers had plant
ed more walnut and less cottonwood
trees the lumbermen would not have
TO dig In the mud for logs for veneer
ing purposes. Walnut trees should be
planted now for the benefit of future
generations.

FOREST FIRES.

sad news Is coming out OF the
northwest regarding the great destruc-
ton Of life and properly by forest
fires. Not since Peshtigo was Oblit-
Grated by roaring flames have the peo-
pie OF the United States been so
startled and Mortified as they were
when word came that the towns in the
Occur d'Alene district in Idaho were
being wiped out.
owing 10 the long-protracted drouJh
sorest fires have been raging in va
rious parts OF the country for two or
three months. Many Of them have
been subdued by hard work after an
enormous amount Of damage had been
done.
But they continue to break out in
isolated places and in spite OF the fact
that thousands OF men have been en-
gagged in fighting these fires. the sol
diers of the regular army being also
used. the situation is constantly grow
ing worse.
Here in Utah there have been no Sc
riOus forest fires this season, al
though there have been several bIazes
that might have developed into great
conflagrations if they had not been
stopped In time.
The forest rangers and patrol
guards sent into the canyons have
been doing excellent work and are still
on watch. But they cannot save the
Utah forests from destruction unaided
and alone.
Campers and all others travelling
through the canyons or in the forests
should not build fires and then care
lessly go off and leave them. Every
spark should be extinguished before
camp is moved. Matches should not
be thrown down after a pipe or cigar
has been lighted unless they have been
rendered entirely harmless. In fact,
every possible precautiOn should be
used from this time on until snow
covers the ground.
Utah has been fortunate SO far.
Let US continue to be watchful and
save the forests and the ranches and
ranges from being burned over.

Slighs, July 2S-Mr. Editor, after
an absence Of quite a while I will
again endeavor to send in few lines

long absence was caused by very Sc
rious sickness. But we are always
anxious for the arrival Of The Herald

surrender and hoist the white flag.
The crops are putting on a better
appearance and look more hopeful,
though there is considerable room for
improvement.
The sick are improving nicely,
which is far more encouraging than
anything else, and it seems that a
ray of sunshine has penetrated
through the dark and dreary cloud
which We trust will continue until our
trouble passes away and We again
have brighter and more hopeful days.
Many thanks to you, kind friends.

FARMERS INSTITUTE
HELD AT PROSPERITY
MEETING UNDER DIRECTION OF
CLEMSON FIELD STAFF.
Interesting Addresses of Practical
Yalue-Speakers Given Close
Attention.


field staff came to Prosperity Tuesday
and held an institute in the town hall
for the instruction of farmers. The
staff consisted of Mr.. James Henry
Rice, Jr., secretary of the Audubon
society; Prof. Perkins, agrostologist,
who was in charge of the staff, and
Prof. L. A. Niven, horticulturist, from
Winthrop college.
The speakers were introduced by
Mr.. R. T. G. Hunter, and the audience,
though small, was earnest, and gave
attention to the various speakers,
marking it iwth applause now and
then.
1t is the object of these Institutes to
convey information through some
specialist who is a practical man, with
field experience.
The first speaker was Secretary
Rice, who described birds, told what
bird was, what it did, and why the
world could not exist without them.
The vast insect kingdom, outnumber-
ing all the men, animals, birds, fishes
and reptiles on the globe and surpass-
ing them all combined in total weight,
was vividly pictured, with the general
life history of insects and amount of
damage done by them in time past to
the crops of the country.
On the spread of his insect host
that always threatened men and ami
mails alike with extinction there was
no final check, but in the work Of the
birds, the police of the air.
Mr.. Rice explained the hunters Ii
cense, and this met the cordial en-
dorsement Of his auditors.
Prof Perkins spoke next, explain
ing the need of plants in soil, air, wat
er and fertilizing material to be sup
piled. The earnestness of the speak
er is convincing when he is appeal
ing to farmers not to rob the soil, b
to enrich it. Worn-out soils are not
worn out at all; their fertility has
been temporarily exhausted, but may
be easily restored. The problem be-
fore all farmers was to keep enough
humus, or decayed vegetable matter
in the soil Bacteria rotted this hu-
mus and plants fed on it when it was
rendered soluble in this way.
1t would not be fair to Prof. Perkins
to attempt to give more than a bare
outline of his mastery exposition. He
is a native of Mississippi, and holds
the chair of agriculture in Clemson
college.
Prof. L. A Niven, who comes from?
North Carolina, is one Of the most
earnest and delightful speakers before
the public; it is surprising to learn
that he is speaking for the first time
outside his class room. He took ur
insects that injure orchards and gar
dens, saying that there was no ex.
cuse for rotten fruit; that all suc{
should be and could be prevented By
the use Of proper sprays, and he de,
scribed these in detail
The meeting was delightful and in
structive. These institutes are up
lifting farm life, making the farmer
more efficient and thus swelling thu
States wealth and increasing the hap
piness of it's citizens.
The meeting yesterday was a
Keitt's and today is in Saluda county

THE FARMERS UNION
IN.STATE CONVENTION
MANY MEMBERS ATTEND SESSION
AT CAPITAL CITY.
Annual Meeting Began Wednesday
Night in Hall of House of Rep
resentatiVeS.

Columbia, July N.-Ine state faI-
mers' Union began it's regular annual
session in the hall Of representatives
tonight, with President A. ]. A. Per-
ritt in the chair. The program Of the
convention is far above the average
in intelligence and there is an air of
prosperity and good will. In some re-
spects it is the most important meet
ing Of the State union held in several
years. Reports show the union to be
strong and doing good work in its
benefits to the farming class.
At the meeting tonight definite
plans and arrangements were made
to reorganize the union, wherever
necessary, in counties already organ
lied, and to push the work Of organ
izing in those counties where organ
ization has not been effected. The ad-
dress Of State President Perritt show
ed the union in the State to be in
healthy condition. All accounts
against the State union have been
paid and small balance is in the
treasury.
Increase in Membership.
The report of the executive commit
tee shows a slight increase in the
membership of the order over it's con-
dition a year ago. The committee on
the revision of the constitution made
it's report and several amendments
hooking to the good of the order were
made. The number of members Of
the State executive committee was de-
creased from seven to three.
A great deal of very important
work has been outlined, and it is
thought that adjournment will not be
possible till Friday. However, some
of the working men among the num-
Der are clamoring for the session of
the convention to begin early and
work as long as it is necessary, that
all the work may be finished and ad-
journment be had by Thursday night.
It is likely that Mr.. Perritt will be
reelected president, and also Secre-
tary-Treasurer J. Whitner Reid. Both
of these have made efficient officers
and have the good of the union at
heart, and their reelection will be a
fitting endorsement of good work al
ready done
At the session tomorrow the time
will be selected for the election of Of
ficers. A number of the committees
of the. union will also report on va
rious lines of work, which has been
previously assigned.
A report from the work Of the na-
tional union will be read, showing the
general condition of the order Re-
ports will also be read before the con-
vention as to the work accomplished
at the national convention, held in St.
Louis during the month of May of the
present year.

beautifully decorated in Southern

lor was carried out in red canvas. In
the library there was profusion of
golden Marguerites.

ception hall, where each was present
ed with section Of heart with part
of flower written on it. In this way
the couples were paired, after which
they were escorted to the lawn where
