The recent extraordinary session of
the state legislature IS looked upon by
the people as a waste of money and a
piece OF expensive political rot. There
was clearly disposition on the part Of
some of the leaders OF both parties to
avoid the passage of primary election
b II and the politicians began to make
the most adroit moves to place the OPP
ponents IN the light Of opposition be-
fore the people. The democrats made
themselves ridiculous by prating about
Bill Dawson's schemes but when il.
came to the pouch down they put the
republicans in sorry position. They
introduced bill patterned after the
Dragon law, which had been commend
ell by the governor but added a referen.
dun clause to il and this was the basis
of a strong opposition by the republic
cans who said it was only to afford
Senator Watson an opportunity to buy
his way into the United States Senate
at the expiration Of his present term
by putting oil the enactment of the
primary law until The people could
vote Oh it. Then the democrats offer
ed it to them without the referendum
and yet it was rejected though eight of
the fifteen republican senators had
pledged themselves to support any fair
measure which might be introduced.
The republicans offered nonstero
sity in the shape of a bill which could
not muster the support of half of their
member and which was amended
until it resembled a crazy quilt and
bore none of its original features ex-
cept some which were decidedly Ia the
interest of the republican state machine,
We cannot doubt the sincerity and
honesty of the governor IN calling the
Legislature together Tor the purpose of
enacting a primary law but the organ :
ization in the legislature was SO bent
on getting something which would
save the machine or nothing that they
have to assume ell responsibility for
the failure of the session.

The Department of Agriculture has
issued comprehens i've report on the
economics of wheat sing, based on
returns from more than five thousand
growers throughout the country.
The average yield per acre for the eu-
tire wheat crop is now about IA bush
,'s. The returns of these growers fix
lie average cost of production in 1909
at sc cents per bushel, and the average
selling price at % cents
Analysis Of the report, according TO
localities, shows that the Mississippi
belt produces 40 per cent, OF the entire
crop, at just about the average cost and
selling price, This economic as well
as geographical center holds the balance
between the East and the West, the
weld in the far Western States being
mach above the average, the cost Of
production less and the sale price only
slightly lower, while in the Atlantic
states the yield is much less, the cost
much higher and the sale price not
proportionateIy increased.
The low extreme was Montana, with
ayield OF % bushels per acre; cost, "A
cents, and selling price 81 cents. In
the AItsnic States the cost averaged
about S3 cents or within 4 cents as
much as Montana selling price.
This gives food for thought to the
Eastern farmer. The statistics, natur-
ally, are based on the reports of grow
ers who keep careful record of their
expenses and who, running their farms
on strictly business basis, are apt to
make showing above the average.
Indeed, This is found throughout TO be
me cas- n regard to yield, their reports
invari indicating better croI
In "a t.e average per acre for their total
district The cost To the less intelligent
or less systematic Eastern farmer j,
probably considerably more than s.
cents.

East where this is compensated for by

Practice of Dry Farming.

Hon. f. w. Mendell, off Newcastle,
Wyo., the president of the dry farm
ing congress held at Spokane, Wash
lngton, said: "Dry farming in Its mar
rover and more restricted sense is ap-
piled to the practice of agriculture and
the growth of crops in regions of limit
ed rain all through conservation of the
natural moisture, In its broader sense
dry farming as preached 10y this inter-
national congress EN- braces the theory
and practice Of scientific agriculture
through which all available plant food
is conserved and utilized in such a
manner as to produce the best, the
most certain and most continuous re,
sults.n
The practical principles of dry farm
ing consist in deep blowing, thorough
pulVerization of the sell to a depth of
six to eight inches, as deep, hnelv
pulNerized soil will hold most all the
winter moisture from rain and snow.
GA the other hand, a rough, badly
plowed and narrowed land will allow
most Of the rainfall to run of the
land and be lost to the growing crop.
