POINTED PRESS COMMENT
pemoeraex,s White Hope

The Democratic party : in idaho
claims to the voters to be- progress
i've and yet 1t opposes the public
utilities act; 1T. claims to favor the d.
roct primary law, and yet 1t used ev-
cry available means to nullify It in
the two elections held under that law,
and Governor Hawleys has tried to
make it as distasteful apd unAatisfac-
tory to the people a. possible by We
icing the amendment which was in
tended to prevent the voters-zof, one
party from assisting in nominating can
didates on the other tickets; it claims
to favor the nomination and election
Of U. s. senators by the direct vote
Of the people, and yet 1t refused TO no
inmate a candidate at the last primary
and is now trying to defeat the return
Of Senator Borah, the candidate which
the people expressed a preference for
Governor Hawley, and several other
candidates declaring their intention to
do their best to defeat Mr.. Borah
should a democratic legislature be
elected this fall. What claim has
such a party upon the condolences and
support Of the voter who is working
for the best interests Of his state?
The body of the democratic voters II
Idaho are supposed to be progressive
in sentiment, can they afford to worl
against their own and their states
interests simply to maintain a party
organization which while declaring fol
one thing to their face, has the effron
cry to turn around and do the very op
posite? Is party loyalty and regular
ity" to be placed above love of truti
and country? -Grangeville Globe.

THE BIG FARMER@ iNsriTUTE
At SURREY.

4 The Farmers Institute held in the
high school auditorium last Friday,
the, 2sth OF January. was grand sue
cess in every particular OF the long
days session. q.
Professors Hoverstad, Shaw and
President Worst dealt with some of
the most difficult questions confront
ing the North Dakota farmers at the
presen time, |. O., ~ Soil blowing;
(2) Raising Of winter wheat; (3) Po-
tato culture; (4) Weed problem; 81
And brought out general discussion
of many other farm problems of min
or importance.
The solution for the first and prob
ably the most vital to the farmers of
this community was that of soil-blow
ing. 1t was dealt with as follows:
Sandy soil should mot be pulver-
lied or dry mulched, but should be
sown to grass as frequently as nee
essary to prevent blowing, as tile
grass roots hold the soil together
very firmly. Pres. Worst advised the
planting of trees on the north and
west side Of every section. A row of
willows could be planted from the
eastern to the western and from the
northern to the southern boundaries
of the state at an initial cost of sew"
enty-five cents per mile, if the vii
low cuttings we're used. The trees
would also act as preventative OF
hot scorching winds, which do so
much damage and they would be
barrier to all rolling weeds as we'll
Prof. Shaw then discussed alfalfa
culture in all it's phases, bringing out
many strong points. He also said
that we could not count upon crop
every year in place where the aver
age rainfall does not exceed fifteen
inches. He preferred, all things be-
ing considered, to raise a cultivated
crop rather than summer following.
He also advised the raising of a
corn crop on the ground IN which
the winter wheat was to be sown..
The corn fodder would act as sno"
fence to collect and form mulch
over the field, thus protecting the
wheat plant from the cold.
The answer to number three was
that as this section was adopted TO
potato raising, the farmers should be
very careful in choosing their seea
potatoes. @@ @' ~ @ -
In solving the weed problem he ad-
vocated the use Of the harrow just 3
as the wheat was coming up and the
repetition of this when the wheat :
was four or five inches high. Z
Most of the afternoon session was
taken up by Pres Worst, who made
a strong and able plea for the better
ing of the country homes, thereby Of
fering a greater inducement Ito the
country boys and girls to remain
away from the city. :
Pres. Worst was followed by Rev
D. T. Dierdorff, who gave a splendid
talk on OUR duties to our neighbors.
The Surrey cornet band was on
hand and furnished music for the oc-
casion. Among the selections played
was "Pres. Worst March," written in
his honor by Prof. Putnam of Fargo.
Free lunch was served at noon by
the good Surrey people to allthose
In attendance. "

Moving Picture Show,

The moving pictures given under
! the auspices of the International Har.
vester Co. occupied nearly an hour
Tuesday afternoon and evening and
afforded knowledge of modern and
ancient methods of farming that could
not have been depleted in any other
way. The show was the best of the
kind ever given in the state and the
farmers were simply delighted with
it Mr.. Barker gave an interesting
lecture explaining the pictures and
Mr.. Lockwood, the operator, looked
after his end of the business, which
altho very important was less con-
spicuous.
The methods of farming from the
days of the crooked stick Of 1000
years ago up to the gas tractor Of
today, were shown, and scenes from
many countries were given. The
most interesting picture perhaps
shown was that of three big /. n. G..
Gas tractors pulling IS Oliver plows
that turned under the soil at the rate
of an acre in less than four minutes.

teresting address in the evening and
was frequently applauded. Terminal
elevators were given due considera-

of them.
J. NJ. Devine spoke at some length
on the progress of North Dakota. He
said the Mouse river loop had ad-
vanced more than Illinois or Iowa
had in 40 In five years from now,
the farmers will be paying taxes on
cows, and You will see milk cans upon
the platform of every depot. Wis.

hold their land. Those who let it
pass out of their hands will never be
able to get it again. +
