THE PRICE WE PAY

When woman purchases ~
wor,h n, wooden dress goods. $4.s.
of that $40 represents the actuai
value of the goods and the remain
ing s5.1S of the $40 the amount o.,
the tariff. In other words snoulu
tho same purchase be made in Eng
land where there Is no tarltl on
woolens. the woman would receive
the sam amount and quality OF
dress goods for $4.S7 that she pays
$40 for in this country. ,
This is because of the Payne-Ai-
drich ad valorem tariff OF 1O5 per
cent ON this class OF goods. When
the democrats came into power IN
the House of Representatives they
framed a bill reducing the tax on
woolens nearly 40 per cent. HAD
this bill been permitted to become
a law the price of woolens would
have been reduced to every con.
sumer in the United states but
president Taft vetoed the bill. The
democratic majority of the house
now presents the bill again.
The president, however, will nave
less excuse to veto the measure tnah
he had before. He declared the
first time that a certain tariff ooaro
had not made its report. ana tnat
to permit a reduction OF the duties
might make It impossible for the
wooden manufacturers to protect
their workmen.
The tariff board has now report
ed. showing that wages in the WOOL
en- industry are as high abroad as
in this country in manv instances.
Then there has been a strike or the
woolen mill workers at Lawrence.
Mass, which has revealed beyond
argumnt and beyond contradiction
that the wooden trust magnates nave
been fooling and cheating the pup
lie all the time.
The strike of the So, 81. and IS
week men, women and children in
the woolen mills brought to light
the fact that while the mill owners
have been declaring they were PRO
tecting" their workers by giving
them fair wages and decent work
ing conditions, they have been pay
ing them starvation wages ana
treating them almost like animals.
The last leg has been knocked
from under the wool tax argument,
and President Taft has no excuse
left to explain veto OF the demo-
cratic downward revision wool Dill.
1t will be impossible to fool the
people again, whether they are re-
publicans or democrats. The presi-
dent vetoed the first wool bill not
for the welfare of either consumer
or wooden mill workers, but at the
behest of the millionaire woolen
trust owners who contributed to his
campaign fund. If he vetoes the
newly introduced wool bill it will
be for the same reason. and the
people will so understand 1t.

NARROWING WHEAT no CON
SERVE MOISTURE

1t is we'll known fact that
ground which is kept loose on top
will evaporate much less water than
soil which is packed on top. The
moisture which escapes into the air
is absolutely lost, 80 far as the
plants growing in that particular
field are concerned. and II anything
can be done to hold this moisture in
the ground so that it may reaoa
the roots Of the growing crop, 1t is
OF course the thing to strive for, and
will prove a benefit to the plant
growing IN the field.
Some years ago one of the repre-
sentatives from the Agricultural
College was visiting an up-to-date
farmer in the country. and the
farmer showed him field of wheat
which illustrated this narrowing in
remarkable manner.
A storm had passed over that
section OF the country and about
l "A inches of rain had fallen It
had been a dashing shower and had
packed the surface of the ground
considerable. The grain was from
4 to inches high, and the farmer
had been advised to harrow the
tiCiu " PlCNCAt ne
! sent his hired man to do the work,
who hitched on to the harrow and
dragged 1t diagonally across the
field Of wheat and then around the
outside Of the field some five or six
times. Then he became dis
gusted with the work because II
appeared that he was dragging out
30 much grain, and reported the
fact to the farmer. who ordered the
work discontinued.
By the time the grain had headed
the marks Of the narrowed sections
could be plainly seen. The place
where 1t had been dragged diagon-
ally across the field produced grain
at least 8 or 10 inches higher than
that on either side which had not
been narrowed. and along the edges
OF the field the grain was in like
condition. The grain on that por-
tfon OF the field that had not been
touched by the harrow was not to
be compared with the narrowed
grain, either in appearance size of
plants or heads OF grain. The Weld
from the narrowed portion was
practically double that from the nm
narrowed portion.
1t simply shows that the harrow
ing and loosening of the surface
soil, even though it did destroy
some of the plants, conserved the
moisture and benefited those plants
that were left in such marked de-
gree that 1t materially increased the
yield from that field, and shows that
this practice could be employed 10
advantage by the farmers of Colo
rado.

CAN THEY REMAIN?

Desperate, indeed, are the legal
lied robbers of nation when such
scenes as were enacted in Colorado,

ed to secure a denomination OF

Every pretense OF fair play has
been cast aside. Every semblance
Of attempting to make the machi-
merry Of the republican party repre-
sent the wishes of the voters has
been forgotten in the desire to Sc
cure delegates for the president.
There is much more at stake than
the fight between Roosevelt and
Taft. Self government itself is on
trial.
There will be those who will en-
| Joy the outbursts of the Colonel in
his protests against fraud and coer-
cion. They will remember, per-
haps. how he once yielded principle
to custom and named in every sec
tion of the country the proteges Of
trust senators. In Colorado they
will remember his approval Of Gug-
genheim's man for district attor-
ney. They will remember how his
federal officers mixed in politics to
secure delegates who would vote in
national conventions as he wanted
them to vote.
His discontinue. however, has
little to do with the issue which is
before the people. In the selection
of the next president. the people

LAND AND LOCALITIES
FOR FLAX GROWING

A great deal has been said re-
Gently about fax as Colorado crop.
1t may not be amiss, therefore,, ~
call to mind the types OF land "hien
are best adapted for this crop
So far as soil Is concerned, na.
aoes we'll on practically all soils but
she very sandiest. Flax is better
sdapted for a silt loan or clay soil
than it is for the lighter. sandy
soils, although 1t will grow well Oh
good sandy loans. T.,
Flax is crop that originated IN
fairly temperate and northern cli-
mates. AS consequence, it does
best in those portions OF the state
which have climate more nearly
like the climate where 1t originated.
In the plains section of the state
max is best adapted to the DIVIDE
country and to the hard lands OF
the eastern and northeastern parts
Of the state north of the DIVIDE.
There is very little encouragement
from past experience and expert
ments, in attempting to grow max IN
the Arkansas valley and to tne
southeast. 1t can be grown in tnat
district under irrigation, but under
dry land conditions the spring TEN,
peratures are usually TOO hlsh anu
the atmosphere too dry.
Flax is peculiarly adapted to tine
foot hill regions of the mountains.
in the mountain parks and many OF
the higher attitudes. and valley
lands. In has been grown success
fully in an experimental way as high
as 5000 feet in the Middle ParK
district. Wild fax is found growing
in many of the parks in the noun
tain valleys of northern and north
western Colorado Flax reaches its
perfection in plant and seed produc-
tion in these regions.
1t has often been said that flax
is hard on the land; that it wears
out land. This has been due to
mis-apprehension. Flax is no
harder on the land than wheat or
oats or other common farm crops.
In fact it does not take out as much
fertility as some of these crops. Ihe
reason why flax has sometimes been
considered a hard crop on the land
has been due to the fact that the
fax wilt, a disease (which attacks
the fax, usually gets into the land
where fax is grown continuously.
The presence of this disease pre-
vents the growth of the crop, con-
sequently, fax must be grown in
rotation if it is grown continuously,
to be a success, in order to prevent
the land becoming foul from the
max wilt disease.
New land is usually considered
best for fax for two reasons. These
reasons are ordinarily not consid-
cred but, nevertheless, they are
the cause for the
opinion that new lands are better
adapted for fax growing. In the
frst place, new lands are free from
the fax wilt disease and cause no
trouble on that account. In the
second place, new lands are usually |
quite free from weeds. AS fax does
not grow very thickly on the ground
and consequently does not shade
the ground very much. weeds on old
lands come up and cause good !
deal of trouble. New lands being |
free from weeds, favor the growth
of the crop on this account.
