Court Justice Charles w. Parker
charged the April term grand jury for
Bergen county to investigate the find
ings of Expert James Cameron con-
tanned In the report made by the Hin
ners Legislative inv sstAgatins commit
tee, which probed the erection OF the
new courthouse and jail here.
In his charge Justice Parker said
that because Of the fact that Prose
cutor Wright was also counsel to the
courthouse commissions which had
charge Of the erection Of the two build
ings in question and was therefore
placed In an embarrassing position, he
Justice Parker had had a conference
with the attorney general and that the
latter or one Of his assistants would
appear before the grand jury in Mr..
Wright's stead, in order to present the
matter contained In the Hinners COM
mittee report to the Jurors. This prac-
tically takes the courthouse and jail
cases completely out Of Prosecutor

Missouri State Fair County Elk
hibits.

This year more attention will b.
paid to County Exhibits at the Mis-
souri, State Fair than formerly. 4
large number of counties have al
ready arranged for splendid County
Exhibits. The County Courts are
authorized, under the Missouri Stat
utes, to appropriate money to make g
display of the agricultural products
of the counties at the State Fair.
There is probably no other way in
which county canreceive more ben.
eft in advertising the resources and
possibilities than by collecting good
lot of exhibits and sending them to
the State Fair. Liberal premiums
are offered and the splendid Agricul-
tural Building on the State Fair
grounds is an ideal place to show
what your county can produce.
1t is we'll to keep in mind that we
should begin early to prepare the ex-
hibits for this purpose. The exhibits
should be made in the name of the
county and they may be made by an
Association, or by individuals and the
display should be confined to pro-
ducts grown in the county. All sam
piles Of straw or grassesAshould be
cut close to the ground, cured in the
shade and carefully tagged, wrapped
and packed. The awards and prizes
will be based on the quality and va
riety of products shown.
The Missouri State Fair dates are
September % to October 4, and am
very anxious that all of the counties
IN my district participate.

Farmers, Attention!

The Missouri Farmer is opposed to
the adoption of the Single Tax Amend
ment which is to be voted upon in
November, and which, If adopted,
would throw practically the entire
burden of taxation upon land owners.
Never in the history of Missouri has
a measure been proposed which so
vitality affects the interests of the farm
er as this one and it therefore be-
hoOves every land owner to inform
himself in this matter as speedily as
possible. In the May issue of the Mis-
souri, Farmer Geo. B. Ellis, the editor,
takes up the proposed amendment
and shows how unfair its passage
would be to the farmers of this state.
Mr.. Ellis is the Ex-Secretary of the
Missouri State Board of Agriculture
and there are few men of sounder
judgment anywhere upon matters
which concern the farmer.
The subscription price of The Mis-
souri, Farmer is Soc per year and by
subscribing now you will be kept in
close touch with the discussion Of the
above question. This splendid paper
comes from the home Of Missouri's
great Agricultural College and one of
its objects is to keep the farmers of
the state in close touch with this in
stitution. It is the highest class farm
and stock paper Missouri ever had
and should be in every farm home in
the state. The Missouri Farmer,

lis to cultivate shallow, 30 the Guild
vator shovel never plows deep on his
farm. Now, then, which way is the
man to do who seeks to follow the
best corn raiser Of the neighborhood?
The pumpkin in the cornfield stands
a slim chance of escape on the farm
where all the corn is harvested with
a binder. The makers Of corn binder
are adopting more and more the broad
wheel, and broad wheels have a way
of smashing about every pumpkin in
the cornfield.
Some men are so constituted that
they look for the worst. If it rains
they are afraid their crops are going
to be flooded, if it does not rain they
are afraid everything is going to dry
up. Since worrying about it does no
good, why worry? It is said that one
of my great-grandmothers used to
worry because there was nothing she
could think of which to worry.
A rainy day on the farm, with lot
of hired help drawing regular wages,
is not always so pleasant to the farm
er. When rains continue and the
teams are keep out Of the field for a
week, matters begin to take on a de-
cided blush cast.
1t is seldom that good file can be
found on any farm, and yet there is
nothing, cost considered, that pays
better to keep alwaps on hand. Fool
ing away time using worn.out file is
more expensive than new files.
Once upon time, l was persuaded
to have set Of cultivator shovels
ground instead of drawn out by heat
ing and pounding. The one who
talked me into having the set ground
and l would thus be able to keep the
fine polish and temper that is always
there when soft center shovels are
new, but grinding proved insufficient.
IN a short time the shovels were as
lull as ever, so had them pounded
lext time.
The by-product of grain farming
With the surplus grain hauled off the
arm and sold at the elevators, amount
nothing. In dairy farming, there
re at least two valuable by-products,
nd both of these are often as valua-
lie as the cream that is sold, even
aough this may return SIS or$1OO
lonth. These by-products are the
kimmed milk, which makes good
ogs, and the manure, which makes
ch soil.

Kafir corn is quite southern crop,

no reason why it could not be grad

am sure folks would like it. It is the

nothing else like it. Iowa, Illinois and
southern Wisconsin and Minnesota
farmers should try to raise some of it
by getting seed as nearly acclimated

Where grass is plenty and may be

A little grain helps out a lot of grass,
though.
