OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
FACTfoNALlsM UNPOPULAR.

In the past few weeks the prospect
~efSescaping a factional political con-
test In the next primary campaign,
has asniaterially improved. After
more mature elaboration, those who
have been active In the republican
party in this state are coming to
realize that %factionalism no longer
means anything more than an un-
seenlly warfare over public offices.
Reports coming to The Republican
from all parts of the state show that
there is general opposition to any at
tempt to prolong factionalism with
III the republican party. In reaching
this conclusion. the leaders are about
two years behind the voters Of the
state. They said by their votes in
the last primary campaign. as clear
4 as they could, that they did not
sanction a meaningless struggle be-
tekeen one group of republicans and
bother. If the platforms promul-
etedS by Aahe .stalwarts's and the
Atprogressive" respectively had shown
any differences over questions of
principle, there would have been
Justification for q Eight all along the
lfne.in.ls But the two platforms were
al near alike as they could be writ
ten and yet be different. All the
voters were asked to decide was
whether John Smith or Thomas
Brown should be elected to office.
The voters made their selections
without much regard to factions.
They further cast some 10000 votes
for Egan partly because he was op-
POSED BY two factionalists.

Four dairy breeds were shown,

Just as we go to press word comes
from Chicago that Mr.. Clise's herd
has scored even a greater triumph at
the National Dairy Show than at the
Waterloo show. There were eight
Ayrshire herds exhibited at Chicago,
and out of possible 30 first prizes,
the Willowmoor herd won ID. In ad-
dition the herd was awarded all herd
prizes.

WASHINGTON Herds Win Fame.

The dairymen of this state and the
whole Pacific Northwest for that
matter will be much pleased to learn
of the achievement of a Washington
dairy herd just now showing in the
second of two dairy shows of National
scope. In the Iowa Dairy Show held
at. Waterloo, Iowa, the Willowmoor
herd of AyIshires from Redmond,
Washington, won twelve first prizes
and five championships against three
other famous herds competing. They
were those of w. p. Schenck, of Avon,
New York; j. f. Converse d Co.,
Woodville, New York and W. L. Mo
Cormick. of Palaskala, Ohio.
The Ranch would like to suggest to
the railroads, the real estate men,
the commercial clubs and the boosters
for the Pacific Northwest that they
lay "King Apple" on the shelf for
awhile and talk about the advantages
of the country for dairying. Hoad s
Dairyman in reporting the show says:
"Such show as presented by the
exhibitors of this division is certain
ly inspiring to the Ayrshire breeder
especially, and should be to the
breeders of all other breeds of dairy
cattle, as greater uniformity of type
and greater scarcity of inferior and
poorly fitted individuals are seldom
seen in the show ring. The many
visitors who saw these animals should
realize that what is possible in New
York, Ohio or Washington can be
duplicated in any other state. /"
We are inclined to think there are
a number of dairymen, particularly
dairy cattle breeders, including MIR.

Pure Seed for Farmers.


in the United States that has pure
seed law. Most people are agreed
that such law was needed and IS 8
good thing for farmers and honest
seed dealers.
The state legislature of Washington
passed the law in 1909 relating to the
sale of and fixing the standard OF
purity of agricultural seeds and pro
viding penalties for violation. The
enforcement of this law was given tC
the state dairy and food commits
sioner, but until the legislature OF
1911 appropriated money for carrying
on the work, nothing could be done.
Briefly the law is:
First. That seed dealers shall put
label on bags or seeds offered or ex-
posed for sale.
II the seeds are above the required
per cent of purity and termination,
the label may be marked standard. u
Ii not of sufficient purity to be
called standard the label must give
the per cent of pure seed, the pei
cent of sticks, stones and dirt, etc.,
and the per cent of foreign seeds.
Second. No person shall offer OF
expose for sale-for the purpose OF
seeding, any agricultural seeds con
tanning noXious weeds, such as dod-
der, wild mustard, quack grass,
Canada thistle, etc.
Third. The law covers cases OF
authorizations or misbranding, such as
mixing Canada blue grass with Ken
lucky blue grass; sweet clover with
red clover or alfalfa or yellow trefoil
with red clover or alfalfa.
During the past four months L have
visited seed dealers In many towns OF
the state looking over what seeds they
had in stock and giving them sugges
tions for meeting the requirements OF
the law and obtaining better grades
of seeds. A large per cent of the
alfalfa and red clover on the market
contains dodder. This is one of the
worst weed pests known. 1t is 6
parasite, making no root structure
of it's own and sapping the nourish
ment from the plant on which il
grows. 1t spreads rapidly and finally
chokes out the crop. 1t is extremely
hard to eradicate as any piece of the
leafless, threadlike vine growing will
branch and spread on to new plants.
Seeds are produced in abundance and
will retain vitality for a number OF
years.
Between 40 and so per cent of all
red clover and alfalfa samples eX-
amined at the Oregon laboratory last
year contained dodder seeds.
The aim of the seed testing depart
ment is to help the farmers get better
seeds. Any one who expects to SOW
seed would do we'll to send a sample
to the laboratory, where it will be
tested free of charge. About two
tablespoons of clover or alfalfa seed
and twice as much of grasses should
be sent with your name and address
and from whom the seed was obtain
ed. In this way you can learn what
per cent of your sample is pure seed,
what per cent inert, what foreign
seeds and how many foreign seeds
there would be in pound.
Beside the seed inspection work, q
number OF dairymen and farmers
meetings have been held in different
parts of the state at which short talks
on seed work have been given.
Any communication sent to State
Dairy and Food Commissioner, Miss
Louise M. Allen, seed analyst, State
Seed Testing Laboratory. Seattle,
will be given careful attention.

Replying at some length, Mr.. Bacon
said that TO change the manner of
electing senators without giving the
states control was a grave risk. Speak
ing of the past experiences of the
south, he said:
'If the southern people had not con-
tended heroically against conditions
which confronted them, civilization
would have been destroyed in the
south and 1t would have been but a
short time before it would have been
destroyed in the entire nation"

TAFT DEFINES PROPOSED
RECIPROCITY AGREEMENT
President Addresses State Legislature of ILL.,
nois---Not Formal Treaty by Agreement
to Enact Certain Statutes Providing the
Other Country a Similar Provision.

Iother cereals" continued the president,
will reduce the price of land in Ohio,
Illinois. Indiana, and Iowa, is refuted
by every tabled" statistics.
ITO let the wheat of the northwest
come down to Minneapolis and Chi
cago will steady the price of wheat
But that it will in the end substantial
ly reduce the price of wheat, fixed for
the world in Liverpool, no one familiar
with conditions will assert.
1T will give the United States much
greater control of the wheat market
than it has ever had before 1t will
Ienable its milling plants to turn Cana
dian wheat into flour and send abroad
the finished product and will stimu-
late the sale of manufactures and other
things that we have to sell to Canada"
The president further asserted that
/ in removing the artificial barriers be-
tween the northwestern part of the
United States and Canadian provinces,
the agreement would result in the
bringing over of live cattle to feed on
the corn of the American farmer.
The president said that no step
could be taken more in the interest of
a reasonable policy of protection that
the approval of the treaty "and that
! iinsistence on too much protection
would rouse an opposition in this
country that will know no modera-
tion."
He said that that was his reason also
for favoring the creation of "an expert
tariff commission or board"
eve have taken up those things that
are involved in a Canadian reciprocity
treaty because opportunity offered"
declared President Taft in conclusion.
"Now is the accepted time. She is at
the parting of the ways. Shall she be
an isolated country, as much separat-
ed from us as if she were across the
ocean, or shall her people and our
people profit by the proximity that our
geography furnishes and stimulate the
trade across the border that nothing
but a useless, illogical and unneces-
sary tariff wall creates"
