The Old Question of the Canteen.

The annual reports of army Off
GERS are again unanimous in ex-
pressing regret that congress saw fit
to abolish the soldiers "canteen. -
The canteen was the name given to
the club which was maintained at
each army post. In this club the
soldiers met for recreation when off
duty. There were billiard tables and
card tables (but no gambling was
permitted), and in limited quantities
beer was served. The canteen was
maintained under the supervision of
Officers, who saw to it that there
was no intoxication
Some years ago there was started
"a historical movement for the abo-
litiOn Of the canteen. The sensitive
cOnsciences OF numerous ladies were
touched. They could not tolerate
the idea of the United States gov
eminent being in the liquor bust
ness" determined raid was made
upon congress for a law forbidding
the canteen. In vain army officers
pointed out the evil results which
would surely follow. They explained
that during the period in which the
canteen system had been in opera
ton the course of temperance had
been promoted in a most practical
manner-that whereas before the
establishment of the canteens the
soldiers had fallen into habits of
dissipation while on leave from the
posts, the maintenance of the can
teens had encouraged them to put
in their leisure hours on the mill
tary grounds, under the eyes of their
was no longer any drunkenness in
the army, comparatively speaking.
They predicted that the abolition
of the canteen system would bring
back all the old evils; the soldiers
when off duty would go to the sa-
looms Of the nearby towns and
drink to excess. Worse than that,
they explained, the lowest of dog
geries. would be established in the
neighborhood of the posts for the
purpose of enticing the soldiers to
drink the cheapest poison in the
form of liquor
p But these protests were all to
no purpose. Working together-but
with different motives, of course
the doggery keepers and the good
temperance ladies persuaded con-
gress to forbid the canteen, and the
canteen system was abolished. And
although practically all congressman
individually long ago became con-
WINGED that a bad mistake had been
made. they are too cowsrdly to fol-
low the advice of the army officers
for the militant ladies of the tenn
perance organizations are uncon-
WINGED and threaten congressman
with defeat at home il they dare to
restore the canteen. Meanwhile
drunkenness in the army has in
creased enormously, and insanity
from drinking the vilest of liquors is
a frequent development. However.
the good ladies and the good rIin-
iste:s who lead tnerl have cl.2r
crasCience-it can n. longer be said
e. nment which is lin the liquor bust

sitiye TO cold than wheat n its veg
citation is more rapid. 1t makes a
vigorous growth early in the spring,
and by May 18th on an average farm
in the west, cutting al be under
way. | would recommend that the
seeding be rather heavy, at least l II
TO Il bushels per acre. Alfalfa, of
course, is the king of all forage crops.
There is nc question as to it's adapt
ability to our western soils. 1t is
almost a perfectly balanced food in
itself, and is an ideal crop in the soil
ing system. / have found, however,
that when it comes to a question of
the very best soiling rations for pro-
ducing the greatest amount of milk,
there is no forage crop that excels
peas and oats sown together. Sow
as early in the spring as the ground
will permit, and begin cutting just
as soon as the oats begin to head out
and the peas have well grown pods.
| have had successful experience in
seeding these at the rate of Il bush
els to the acre each, drilling the oats
one way and cross drilling with the
peas. The peas should be put in
deeper than the oats. There are some
farmers in Salt Lake county who feel
chat peas and oats are more profita-
bic as d forage crop than alfalfa, and
since experimenting with this crop
have decided that the alfalfa weevil
mas no terrors for them.
It will be observed that when seed
ing peas and oats the second seeding
is made ~ days after the first, sim
ply SO that we may have the crop in
right condition for feeding. If al
lowed to stand too long the crop is
not palatable. Corn, of course, should
be sowed thick. The most convenient
way OF planting is with the grain drill
arranged as to drop a kernel ev-
cry 4 to 6 inches and in rows about
Is inches apart. Barley is planted
with peas in a later seeding, not be-
cause barley is any better than oats,
but simply because it thrives so much
better in the dry, hot part of the sea-
son than does oats.
There are a great many other crops
that are used for soiling purposes in
sections of the country, such as
yetch, COW peas, sofa beans,
etc, but these crops do not seem to
well under the climatic con-
ditions prevailing here.
| do not mean to infer that dairy
are the only animals that can
be successfully put under the soiling
system. 1t is Just as feasible to soil
horses or sheep as it is cattle. l be-
Iieve, too, that this system works as
we'll on cheap land as on high priced
The system is an excellent APP
Dlication of the idea of "a small farm
we'll titled, ETC." 1t is my firm con-
that nowhere in the world will
soiling system work to better adj
vantage than right here in the irri-
gated valleys of the west.

tation and the practice Of factory
methods OF the farm viii stop the
leaks which now reduce the profits
and tremendously improve the quail
ity while it increases the quantity
of the output of every farm in this
district.
l know an irrigated farm in the
Rockies where the suggested method
named above is followed and the re
turns for the period Of their crop ro-
tation of six years which / checked
up last year, averaged 500 gross
per acre crop per season. Do not be
satisfied until you feel you have
worked out a crop rotation adapted
TO your soil, climate and market en-
vironment and that rotation is ay-
eraging you a gross return of $50
per acre crop per season.
Conclusion-Therefore III closing,
permit me to say. study your farm
soil and make your crop rotation inn
prove rather than impoverish your
land. Then you a never be ac-
cused OF being a soil robber and
leave behind you a depleted soil. We
must get our bread and butter for
today, but we should always have an
eye on tomorrow S supply. Nature has
been prodigai with us. storing up for
cepturies the very elements u crops
can utilize best. We are the stew
ards OF this heritage, so we should
use, but not abuse, u inheritance.
Yea, we should do more. We should
pass the farm OH 10 our posterity lm-
proved in every way so the next gem
GRAFTON can truthfully say of this one,
the farms are better for their hav-
ing lived on them.
This mixing brains with the soil,
enriches the farm, makes country
homes inviting and farm life attrac-
tive, healthful and remuneratiye.
