some FARMERS
We NEED.

Agricultural interests stand sadly in
need of the development and training Of
several classes of farmers in this coun-
try
We need the farmers who will call the
attention of his congressman to the
scheme the oleomargarine interests
are attmpting to play on the people by
having the taxes on oleomargarne re-
moved. or greatly reduced. 1t is a
scorching shame that our Legislators do
not make a comparison Of the cost of
placing these two products on the market
and then levy tax on the oleo ac-
| cor1ingly.
TIE whole country is looking fer the
farmer who will do a greater amount
of and more scientific, road-work; then
having done lis reasonable share, ask.
III polite, but insistent manner, that
congress make an appropriation fol
good roads. raising the point that this
assistance is as deserving as the deep
waterways appropriation. In view of
the fact that our roads form more ex-
tensive and important system than that
of our waterways.
We need farmers who will urge parcel
post somewhere else besides among them

man, will do more toward securing the
enactment of such a law, than telling
rour neighbor what a decided advantage
it would be to the farmer; how it would
make the postoffice department self-sus-
tanning. instead of piling up an enor-
nous deficit every year: and how the ex
press companies are growing immensely
ing packages. one company having re-
Gently declared a dividend of 300 per
cent. The country merchant, also, may
be shown that parcels post is not the
enemy he considers it. that it would be
more local in its application than he
seems to think; and that he would get
more of the parcel-selling business than
, the out-of-town, mail order concern.
But the farmer We most stand in need
of. is the one who will practice the con-
seryation of our soil and natural re-
sources. For farmers bother their heads
about 'legumes,' crop rotation nitro
gen." soil-inoculation, and other scien-
tific terms, but even the common run of
a farmer has come to know that plain
| manure is wonderful fertilizer. and
that a growth of clover rejuvenates the
old, worn-out soil. Horse sense will teach
any man the many-sided folly of slash
ing down and destroying by fire our
valuable forests. This conservative farm
er is not only our pressing. present-day
reed, but he is the hope of future gener
ations-our children and our childrens'
children. If the prevailing slack, care
less methods are continued it is shocking
| to contemplate the agricultural condi-

compelled to struggle for existence. viii e

ants with the full assurance that their
prosperity and happiness will rest on a

The assertion is made that the dem
ocratic party can not hold state pri-
maries, but must name a state ticket
by convention. Section 4s0s OF Rem-
ington's code limits primaries to such
parties any candidate of which polled
10 per cent OF the total vote at the
last general election. At the general
election two years ago the democrats
named no state ticket, their candi-
dates running on the Independent
nonpartizan judiciary ticket. 1t is
claimed that unless W. w. Black, dem
ocrat. who got 2O,1ls votes for con-

tenth Of the total state vote the dem

by trimming should be raked up and
burned If an ornamental hedge is
desired, then it is desirable to prune
three or four times during the grow
ing season, using the ordinary hedge

may be two machines required to do

was the same machine or two differ

main thing is to cut when the growth
is young and succulent before it
