[Author of New Local Option Law.
| the hope that the executive arm might
be palsied before ne could write the
final word for the destruction of coun-
ty option in Indiana. OF course no rea-
sonable citizen had any such unchari-
table wish. AT the same time, the
governor, having signed the Proctor
bill. freely boosted that his arm was as
good as ever.
Signed Away His Party's Right.
1t is safe to saythat Governor Mar
shall signed away the Democratic par
tvs right to continue in power in Indi-
ana when he signed the cities and
townships unit law. The final proof
that the Democratic party is the liquor
party was given with that distinguish
ed signature. For lot of drys, Demo
Gratis as well as Republicans, believed
up to the last that Marshall would
stand with the majority and against
the saloon men and at the windup
would save the county option law by
some legerdemain or heroism not
clearly defend.
There are many Democrats in Indi-
ana who were induced to believe last
fall that the county option law was in
no danger from the Democratic party.
Many Democratic workers induced dry
Democrats to vote their party ticket
by telling them that the county option
law would be held sacred and invio-
late and that the Democratic state
platform did not mean what 1t said,
but was q mere play for liberal Repub-
lican votes.
Means Just What II Says.
For the first time In Indiana's his
.ory, the Democratic party platform.
~ at least one plank in that platform,
/ ha turned out to mean exactly what 1t
gaid. The plank was prepared by
Steve Fleming, head Of the association
/ OF brewers. 1t was forced into the
| platform by Taggart, Fleming and
other agents of the brewers. The
credulous drys helped put it through
at the polls, and then sat back fondly
hoping and believing that the platform
would not be carried out.
But this particular plank was pre-
pared and written for the express pur.
pose Of getting itself into law. And
today 1t is the law. and the drys are
rallying to get what they can out OF
what is left of temperance legislation
In the meantime the drys. once again
foully tricked by the Democrats, are
uttering hoarse maledictions against
che Democratic party and promising
to annihilate that party at the polls
two years hence.

am sure that Packey would have held
his own with the lightweights l used
to box That is to say, he would have
outpointed lot Of them and would
have stalled off the others.
I remember Kid Lavigne when he
was champion. | boxed a TWENTY-FIVE
round draw with him once and had no
trouble in blocking his attack. But
LaVigne wasn't as fast as Mcfarland
In getting around the ring. He rushed
all the time and tried to land a knock
out blow. paying very little attention
to the defensive part Of the game. He
never could be called boxer. and In
the case of Frank Erne, who won the
title from him, / believe Lavigne's de-
feat was due to this reason. Erne
was a first-class boxer, but he wasn't
a hard hitter, not so hard as McFar-
land, and Packey cannot be called a
slugger."

Agricultural knowledge.

The farmer who reads agricultural
papers, books and bulletins, and at
tends farmers institutes is no longer
ridiculed as a book farmer, except by
an occasional simpleton whose CEN
sure amounts to real praise. People
are studying agriculture as never be-
fore. Once, and not very long ago,
either, it was thought derogatory to
the high character of the human in
tellect to engage 1t IN the sordid at.
fairs of business. Eventually brains
became involved In business affairs
as well as IN philosophy, rhetoric and
poetry, and later even philosophers
and poets became reconciled to this
humiliation Of the "God-like'' faculty
Of man Later farmers began to in.
woke the intellect to insure success
and began to arouse themselves from
the lethargy Of centuries, and to ask,
why so much progress in other lines
and so little on the farms. Farmers
are now combining In one enthusiastic
chase in a hot pursuit Of knowledge.

COOPERATION ON THE COAST
Ten Farmers In California, Owning
1900 Acres Of Land, Merge Hold
inas Into One Farm.

The spirit Of cooperation has al
ways been an element in the upbuild-
ing of California where everybody be
lieves In putting together instead of
working criss-cross as they do in this
country. Ten farmers In the San Joa~
quin valley owning 1000 acres have
thrown their holdings into one big
farm as matter Of economy in the
cost Of operation. Instead Of having
ten farms, therefore, each with a COM
plement OF teams and men with a lot
OF expensive machinery, the big ranch
has been put under one overseer, and
the saving in machinery, horses and
other incidentals is a big item. A
huge gasoline tractor was put to
work and the land was plowed and
leveled. In the almost exact middle
of the big alfalfa tract, at a point suf-
hciently elevated, half-acre concrete
lined reservoir was built and from
this leads one Of the best and most
elaborate concrete pipe systems Of ir-
rigation. Water can be turned on at
almost any desired spot of the land
through a perfect maze of gates, and
the five pumps, working all at once,
will furnish over 1000 gallons of wa
ter a minute. The system of consoIi-
dalton has proven an immense sue
cess and in the work which has been
done thus far, of leveling and seed
ing the tract, the saving has been
several thousand dollars. The scheme
has the advantage Of both large and
snail farming

DUTY RESTING UPON FARMER
Soil, Which Yields Subsistence to
Mankind, Should Be Conserved
and Not Impoverished.

There is one duty that rests upon
the farmer, and that is, he should
protect the soil That which yields
the means of subsistence to mankind
should be conserved and not impov-
erished, as unfortunately Is true to
q large extent. Nature Is generous.
and should we prove ungrateful? Not
only all existence depends upon the
soil, but the life of future genera
tons as well. The law, by heavy
penalty, prevents our taking anything
which belongs to another, without his
consent, il living. Shall we rob our
children and our children's children
by taking the substance from the soil,
leaving to them q legacy Of impover-
ished land?
It has been argued that the farmer
will never organize and work in har-
mony. I believe he will. Our school
system is getting away from the dead
languages to living problems. Reason
Is asserting itself over matters of au-
be the useful Farming is a science,
and the day will come when knowl-
edge of the soil and its products will
command more respect than a knoW1-
edge Of Greek and Latin, and a. skull

organization, not ruled by prejudice.
The newspaper is the great educa-
tor, for it cannot be muzzled. A col

cial interests be cared for, but the
press subjects itself to no authority,

I do not advocate the idea that
there should be warfare between the

harmony with country people, and the
country people with them, and both

induced me to go into this competl-
ton

Mr. Snyder does not believe that his
record will stand. He has too great

Idaho to permit such an opinion. !"
do not think we have reached the limit,
by a long way" he remarks, conf
| IDENTIFY, and there are thousands who
are familiar with that country who
are ready to echo the assertion.
The fact is that large profits from
potato raising in Idaho are the rule,
not the exception. II. F. Frodsham,
farmer In the American Falls district,
commonly takes 500 bushels from an
acre, his yield per acre thus being, at
AZ cents per bushel, s210.
Someone who knows the conditions
in and the possibilities of Idaho has
said that 1T is a maxim in southern
| Idaho that the new settler, with little
| or no capital or implements, but with
| a willingness to work, can plant pota-
toes on his irrigated farm the first
/ year and make a good living for his
family, besides laying aside money to
make all necessary payments on his
land
William b. Kelley, who owns
ranch near Gooding, says: We get
50 many potatoes to the acre that we
don't stop to count the sacks"
Samuel Lewis, also living near Good
ing, reports as follows: Potatoes
grow large and thick. six potatoes
from my field weighed II pounds The
crop runs 500 to 500 bushels to the
acre, and can aWays be depended
upon.
The price received by Mr.. Snyder
for his prize winning potatoes does
not by any means represent the top
of the Idaho market. Much higher
prices have been commanded at yari-
GUS times. yet at the accent rate re-
ceived by Mr.. Snyder his profits were
very large.
Scores of instances may be cited to
show what the lands OF Idaho hold in
store for those who will put forth the
effort that must precede success.
Those who have succeeded iii this
one task Of potato raising. trace their
accomplishments to industry, OF
course, and to study Of conditions
and needs. But they could not have
reaped such haryests II industry and
determination had not been fortified
by ideal conditions of climate and soil.
Such conditions prevail III the agri-
cultural districts of Idaho. There the
ground Is rich and eager. There the
climate Is conducive to the outdoor
task. There the scheme of irrigation
has been SO we'll prepared and is SO
unfafllng in its supply that growing y
crops have water when they need it.
With water sunshine and cultiva-
ton to bless the crops at proper In
tervals, the growing of potatoes, or
any other agricultural or horticultural
industry in Idaho, is as sure of abun-
dant cash returns as any OF mans
tasks can be-
