HARVEY COUNTY PRODUCTS ENROUTE.
Fair Association Packs and Ships Our
Exhibits for Hill Advertising Car.

The Fair Association has look
ed after the packing and ship
ment of &c boxes containing
Harney county products to be
used by the Great Northern rail
way in its advertising car this
winter. Platt Randall very kind
ly superintended this work and
we feel it will reach its destina-
ton in good shape. In all there
were 3270 pounds shipped and
contained fruit, grain and vege-
tables Some of the best pro-
ducts could not be sent as it was
impossible to pack them in a
manner that would insure their
preservation in a proper condi-
ton for display. Had the Great
Northern people been here to
select and properly preserve them
we would have had a larger
shipment. AS it is, however,
Harney County will not be
ashamed of her products and will
compare most favorably with
other sections.
The entire shipment was start
ed for Prairie City Thursday and
goes to Mr.. Graham, the emigra-
ton agent at Portland.

DRY FARMING ADVICE.

Prof. Thos. Shaw gave an ex-
cellent talk on dry farming
methods at the court house last
Tuesday evening. Prof. Shaw
thoroughly understands his sub
ject and his discussion of local
soils and conditions will prove of
great benefit to local farmers if
his advise is needed. There were
not as many present as would
have been had it been generally
known in advance when Prof.
Shaw would be in Burns. A
heavy rain also interfered with
some who desired to hear him.
Prof. Shaw considers Harney
county soil ideal for dry farming
as it is of a nature to retain mois-
ture most effectively when pro-
perly titled. He is confident win
ter wheat may be successfully
grown under this method and
yield from 35 to 40 bushels per
acre. He suggests frequent cul-
tivation with disc and harrow.
Prof. Shaw advocates narrowing
the grain Immediately after it
comes up, especially following a
rain, this breaking up any crust
that may have formed that would
tend to prevent young shoots
from coming through. He is
confident alfalfa can be made a
successful crop even without ir-
rigation. This forage is not only
one of the best for stock but also
adds much to the soil. Alfalfa
should be drilled in at least two
inches deep and from 10 to IL
pounds to the acre.
Prof. Shaw advised the farm
ers not to attempt grain crops
every year where they had to use
dry farm methods but to prepare
the soil each successive season.
He considers fodder corn or peas
a good every other year crop.
Corn will not likely mature but
make fine fodder for stock and
with a diminishing range forage
for stock should be considered.
Prof. Shaw left Wednesday in
company with President David
son of the Oregon & Western
colonization Co. for PrineVille
where they expect to meet John
F. Stevens, the head of the Hill

SUBSCRIPTION RATES: /:

The party whip is not going to
have any effect upon intelligent,
self respecting and thinking
voters at the coming election,
They are going to support men
who will make the best officers.
If they have a good. obliging and
competent man in position of
trust where he has done his duty
they will likely put him there
again rather than take chances
on an unknown quantity. On
the other hand if an officer has
not done his duty and they are
certain they can do better they
will turn him out. And that's
right.
The times-herald. [volume] (Burns, Harney County, Or.) 1896-1929, 1910-10-15

Some people spend a life time
trying to get an Office while
others are retained for an indeti-
mite period by the voters when
they find them the right men in
the right places. We want COM
petent, obliging officers and when
we find one who does his duty
keep him.

THE COUNTY FAIR,

| lIdSJ odluTudy lile county ldlt
closed with a fine program for
closing day and a good atten-
dance. Among the most pleas
ing and interesting features of
the afternoon were the baby
show and the automobile parade.
There were nine cars in the par
ade and the prize was awarded
to Mrs. Archie MCGOWAN who
drove a Ford which was hand
somely decorated with white and
purple. She had a load of
charming young ladies all dress
ed in white. The load later
went out to meet Oswald West.
The weather had been ideal but
that afternoon a wind storm
came up that disaranged some of
the decorations and blew away
many of the flowers with which
the car was embelished.
There were six girls and three
boys entered in the baby show.
1t was no little task for the
judges to make their decision in
this contest. They wished there
had been prizes for all but, Mr..
Davev had made the conditions
of the contest and could not
change it. VIM. Hanley, w. w.
Brown and Judge Levens finally
settled the matter so far as the
girls were concerned and award
ed the prize to Helen little dau-
ghter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. T. Gar
rett. Misses Josephine Locher,
Leila Egli and Agnes Sayer de-
cided the boys contest in favor
of Earl, the little son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Clarence Mace.
The products on exhibition in
the pavilion were left intact at
the close of the far in order that
the selection for the Hill adver-
tising car might be made. This
was done and those having pro-
ducts left were permitted to re-
move them.
The week was a successful one
in every respect and the people
in general seemed satisfied. The
Association was handicapped in
providing suitable entertainment
for each afternoon as the printed
program had to be changed.
However all were well pleased
and the association will be able
to meet all obligations and pay
the premiums in full. The at
tendance was very good but the
gate receipts have totled more
at former fairs.
The Times-Herald did not Sc
cure a list of the premiums win

SOUTH DAKOTA ON EASY STREET

The Sioux Falls Argus Leader insists
that things look good for South Dako-
ia" when an eastern concern will loan
$500 0 on a section of Minnehaha
county land, and states that that is
just what has occurred down there.
Time was when eastern money lenders
were extremely reluctant to loan any
sum on any amount Of South Dakota
land. but that time has forever passed.
Now the trouble the eastern man has
is inducing South Dakotans to take
his money off his hands. The people
of this state are SO well fixed that
quite generally the land owner who
needs a loan has no trouble in secur
ing any amount needed from his home
banker. This money comes from his
next door neighbors, for the banks are
crowded to the vaults brim with the
cash deposited by South Dakota farm
ers.-Aberdeen News.

A 5o-CENT DOLLAR?

Senator McCumber. OF North Dako-
IA, agrees with Senator Crawford, of
South Dakota, that the increased vol
ume OF gold is the cause of the high
cost OF living. and he told the senate
SO last week. During the years when
the republican party was abandoning
bimetallism. the faith in which il had
been reared, it was greatly distressed
lest the people should be afflicted with
a 50-cent silver dollar. If Mr.. Nc
Cumber and Mr.. Crawford are right
the gold dollar of today is n 50-cent
dollar. 1t takes two OF them to pur-
chase what one would have purchased

their places? Would not women en-.
counter the same physical and moral

opinion, the same stubborn conditions?
Would not women disagree as men do
on questions Of economic and moral
legislation? Are all women of one
mind as to poverty, unemployment.

OF promoting order, justice. prosperity?
Give women equal suffrage an5 every
other right aad privilege which they
still lack. after decades Of remarkable
progress for their sex, and the world
would remain what 1t is for centuries.
Women would divide as men do. There
would be radicals. moderates and con.

THE INCOME TAX AMENDMENT,

The unanimous vote of the Illinois
senate for the ratification of the in.
come tax amendment shows that none
OF its members was affected by Gov.
Hughes argument against it. They
did not share his fears that the fed
eral government would destroy the
credit and impair the power of states
and municipalities by taxing the in
come derived from their bonds.
Gov. Hughes has peer effectively an
swered by Gov. Fort of New Jersey.
He says:
suppose a / per centum of tax were
to be levied upon incomes. Under
such a tax the holder of a $1,000 4
per cent state or municipal bond would
pay an income a on $40 a year, which
would amount to 40 cents per annum.
II the patriotism Of our citizens and
the interest Of our financial institu-
lions who take and hold municipal
securities are at so low an ebb as to
cause such a tax to affect the value of
state or municipal securities, we are
indeed in an unfortunate condition In
the republic.
The general impression is that Mas.
sachusetts and New York will refuse
to ratify the amendment. Perhaps the
average citizen OF those states is more
afrected by the possibility Of the loss
OF 40 cents than is the average Illino-
isan.
Gov. Forts reply to the claim that
congress might injure the states as
such by taxing the income from their
bonds is:
First, the congress is representative
OF the states and elected by the citizen
ship thereof. and the remedy Is In
the hands Of the people of the states
by not returning such congressman.
Second, the patriotism of our people
is such that no congress could be
eiected That would lay any tax with
q view Of destroying the power OF
integrity Of the states.
This is a sufficient answer to Gov
Hughes assertion that the states
would be enfeebled and enslaved II
they were to arm congress with the
income tax.
Illinois will be the first northern
state to ratify the amendmnt. Its
neighbors should not fear to follow
where 1t leads. II has no apprchon.
