IF THE PEOPLE STAND FOR IT

Prophecy is usually mighty unsafe but The
Times is going to depart from its usual rule long
enough to make one just paste this away some
where and If it doesn't come true.
Between now and next summer, some time, b. w.
Conner of Tacoma, chairman of the republican state
central committee, will come out with the announce
ment that the committee has no funds for state
convention, ard that the committee itself must name
the delegates to the republican national convention
the convention that dominates president and vice
president.
And despite the evident progressive character of
the state today that Washington delegation will go
boxed and stamped and sealed for w. III. Taft
And doubtless this will be labeled as great vic
tory for the presdent-the winning of Washington
from the progIesslyes.
It may be that the majority of Washington re-
publicans want Taft re-nominated. Maybe they pre-
Fer LaFolette. Or Gov Hay. Or Pete Sandberg.
Or none of these gentlemen.
WASHINGTON SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO
SAY WHO THEY DO WANT FOR PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES.
There is no other reason for calling a state conven-
ton in 1872 it is true since the governor and other
state officers under the direct primary.
That is one thing must correct before another
presidential election. And the state provides
funds-which calls attention to another evil of the
old system
Formerly the state central committee appointed a
treasurer to collect funds for these state conventions
That's pretty sight, isn't it-a state convention
financed by private parties. The traction corpora
lions gave so much, the railroad, telephone, power
companies and other public service corporations the
brewers, rich politicians and on-everybody who
wanted party favors-"c through
In one way we don't blame the old stand-pat gang
who are still running the state central committees
for not wanting to go to the usual sources for
yention expenses.
eff you hold a convention the people will take it
away from you and swing it to LaFollette of
these radicals, the traction and railroad magnates
will say.
And that's true
30 thereW be no convention.
Unless
Unless the people demand it-and are willing to
finance it.
Outside this contingency prediction stands
no convention, and solid Taft delegation.

seed than Lady Washington are
planted.
A two row cultivator should be US
ed in cultication and the first cul-
tivation should be given as soon as
the beans are up and the rows can
be seen distinctly. Small shovels
should be used upon the cultivator.
It will be necessary to cultivate a
number of times before the beans
need TO be irrigated and the cultiva-
ton should follow the irrigation.
Beans cannot stand much hand
ling at blooming time. hence one
should figure to irrigate once and
follow with irrigation before the
beans come into full bloom. Usually
one irrigation will be all that is re-
auired TO produce a crop. If nee
essarythe beans may be irrigated
the second time after the majority
of the blooms are gone and the pods
are forming. In some cases this
may be the only irrigation given.
Soil conditions must determine the
number Of irrigations and when wat
er should be applied. 1t appears
that beans should not be irrigated
when in full bloom. yet there should
be adequate moisture in the soil at
that time. Beans do not require a
great deal of water, yet are particu-
lar about having a certain amount
Of moisture in the soil up to the
time the pods are filed. During the
ripening period the soil may as well
dry out.
The harvesting need not be delay
ed until ali the pods have ripened as
considerable amount Of beans
might be lost through Smelling out
Of the earlier matured pods If that
we're done. The grower should aim

quickly and keep them growing. This
will usually be after danger Of the
frost has passed. In southwestern
Idaho the planting time is from May
goth to June 10th. The grower can

Since beans must be planted late
in spring the ground must be hand
led in such a way so as to conserve
moisture to bring the bean up and
keep them growing until such time
AS it is advisable to irrigate If con-
ditions are such as not to permit
of this then it will be necessary to
irrigate before seeding.
Prepare the ground well as you
would for any other crop. If fall

the largest possible amount of beans
and this ordinarily would be when
about one-fourth the pods are yet
green.
IL is quite necessary TO have a
harvester when growing beans com
mercially. This machine is mount
ed on two wheels and has two steel
blades that cut the plants an inch
or two below the surface. The mach
inc cuts two rows at once throwing
the two rows together 50 men with
forks can follow and throw them in
to piles A home made harvester con-
sists of two pieces two by twelve
plank fastened together two feet
apart and two steel blades two feet
long attached and extended out from
the under side of this sled-like con-
trivance.
The piles lay in the fields until
dry enough so the beans may safely
be stacked. The ordinary thresher
is often used but it is not satisfac-
tory as many beans are broken. A
special bean machine may be intro
duced where sufficient acreage is
grown for its operation. There are
many of these in north Idaho where
beans are grown on a considerable
scale. The beans are cleaned by run
ming through a tanning mill.
If necessary one can resort to
tramping out with horses on an earth
thrashing floor.
The chief bean growing section
in the state is the Potlatch county
where they are grown without irri-
cation. They are there often used
in rotation which has become wide
ly adopted in that county namely
wheat, one year oats or barley, one
year corn or beans one year. The
yield ranges from eight to twenty
five bushels per acre and fifteen
bushels is considered a fair yield.
The growers there receive three to
four cents per pound for the beans.
In southern Idaho they have brought
five cents per pound and when sold
locally may bring more than that
In the upper Washington county
field beans have proven to be a sue
cessful crop. The pink beans is
grown chiefly there. Some farmers
in the upper Payette Valley have
been very successful with the Lady
Washington variety. On the heavy
soils of the Boise Valley field beans
have not to my knowledge been
grown successfully. / believe that
beans may be grown proftably on the
lighter soils in that valley as well
as in the Payette valley and in the
Weiser valley.
