State Nav Elect Commissioners.

Salem, Ore, Feb. 16.-At the re-
quest of the present members Of the
railroad commission, the house COM
nittee on reapportionment has intro
duced a bill providing for the election
of these commissioners from the state
at large. Under the present law one
member Of the commission is elected
from each Of the two congressional
districts and the third from the state
at large. This change in the law LIZ
deemed necessary from the fact that
the state is to be divided into three
congressional districts. The present
members of the commission would
prefer to have the commission elect
ed from the state at large than to
give TO each Of the proposed three
congressional districts one member Of
the commission.

garden produce there would be a mar

acres under cultivation. In nearly all
his work he had trouble with his seeds
Those from the States would not grow

inches of rainfall in a year, and so he
had to educate his turnips, his caull-
flower, carrots, cabbages and the rest
to grow in damp soil.
The government maintains expert
nent stations, but these were and are
too few; also they are only experiment
stations, and the real work must be
done by the real farmer. Martin went
through it all, and he built his log
house, barn and outbuidings. He cuts

built an incubator and is raising chick

tap-has been done by this farmer sin
gle handed. He has combined the
work Of the experiment stations and
the farm, and to him is due the sue
cess of farming on the Kenai. Now
the railroad has come to him. and he
can ship his products in to Seward

Valdez, and he is well to do.

clumsy, homemade cultivator by hand
and smiling cheerfully, will not soon
fade. nor will the days when eighteen
hours of yellow sunlight brought the
seeds rushing to the surface and ma
tured them In five weeks. Those were
the moments when he saw the things
the future held. And he's not going
to sell out and go back to Sweden.
He's going to stick on the job. It's
his home now, and he sees the time
in ten years-no, five-when he will
have farmer neighbors all about him

This is the story of farmer who
won because he had nerve and under

land and fight it out to a finish, a
farmer who had never heard of the
word discouragement and whose only
definition of failure was that it meant
TRY again little harder also it is
the tale of Il man who farmed as much
with his head as he did with his hands,
and he did an enormous amount of
work with those latter.
His name-not that it matters par
ticularly-is Ole Martin, and six years
ago he drifted into these United States
| from Sweden. where he had been farm
ing in rocky and exhausted land for
| fifteen years. Six months after his
arrival at New York he was in Alaska,
and six months after that he had a few
acres OF land son the Kenai peninsula.
Then he began to farm. There were
no neighbors-not then, at least, for II
was not until later that a taciturn
Scot sat down a short distance away
and began to- farm on his own ac'
count.

there were no horses and ut first not
even a dog, so supplies had TO be
packed in. \ man who has never
carried sixty to n hundred pounds on
his back over rough, unbroken coun-
try can only imagine that. Ground
had to be broken and cleared. Then it
had to be prepared for sowing, and
the old methods of Sweden and the
United States even were useless. Mar

BILE lessons from our experiences of
the last two years.
I'm making up a forecast of the
probable outcome of the battle we
have Joined, it is necessary that we
consider those factors contributing to
our defeat in former years, and if pos
sible, eliminate them from the present
equation.
"Chief among the causes that made
our failure and consequent demoraliza-
ton greater than that experienced in
other sections, was the absence of ade-
quate control over the labor that made
the cotton.
Il have found from personal expert
ence that the labor situation is very
much better than in past years. There
has been no time since the slavery
regime when conditions were so fav-
orable for the regaining of that COM
plete control over labor, so necessary
for the individual landowner to make
farming profitable as the present.
1--WE were handicapped in the past
by lack of knowledge of certain condi-
lions indispensable to success under
boil weevil conditions. We who are
fighting not alone for our own financial
independence, but also for the re
Mobilization of this naturally favored
part of Mississippi and of the South
now have all the information neces
sary for success; it only remains fol
rus to put our knowledge to its best
use and do that execution in practice
that we have been advising in theory
1--WE know that some have failed be
cause of the late and insufficient prep
aration of the soil; some, because o.
planting late-maturing varieties of cot
ton; some because of wrong methods
of cultivation; some because they ig
nored the boil weevil entirely, ant
would not be persuaded that eithel
methods or men must change; some
because of all these things combined
I'VE know that our primary depend
ence lies in discarding methods proven
to be inadequate; we know that thos'
methods can not achieve success, ex
cept in years of ideal weather condi
tions; we know the blind faith tina

Providence will specially favor certain
individuals and certain localities will
not avail; we know we must correctly
guage the enemy's full strength and
concentrate our batteries till he is
vanquished.
Theories have been advocated from
time to time that gave promise of sue
cess, but there was always some weak
place that under certain given condi-
lions gave such advantage to the
weevil as caused success to be only
partial. Experimentation is now al
most thing of the past, and years of
study in all parts of the infested area,
shows conclusively that strict adj
herence to the principles of demon
stration methods is the only way to
make cotton successfully under any
and all conditions of soil and weather
81 can show beyond doubt, that
ninety-five per cent of those who
! thought they were following demon
stration methods, and who still failed
were either lacking in their conception
of the full meaning of those methods
or that they omitted important details
or that they lacked thoroughness il
the execution of those details.
