WOODROW WILSON and Thomas
R. Marshall have been named as
the candidates Of the democratic
party for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency, after one Of the very
longest sessions ever held by a
democratic convention. Both are
governors Of great states in the
union, Wilson Of New Jersey, and
Marshall Of Indiana and both are
clean men as TO personality. Oh
course the principles they represent
are the real issues by which they
will be tried by the voters Of the
country. The nomination Of Will
son has in larg measure forestalled
the movement by Colonel Roosevelt
and his followers, as the progressive
movement and Woodrow Wilson
are closely allied, and for that
reason those who have leanings
toward the progressive ideas, will
vote a democratic ticket, ra'her
than cast their lot with an unknown
quantity of a third party. If the
were to be held this month,
Wilson and Marshall would have a
formidable following at the polls,
but the election will not take place
until November, and in that time
the campaign of education will
have shown the real interest Of this
country to be along the lines of
as laid down by the
platform, and its repre-
President Taft and Sher-
man. The democratic nominations
are undoubtedly the strongest the
convention could have
named as Democratic standard
bearers.

THERE is not one taxpayer in
either Kent or Sussex County who
would make solemn oath that the
money drawn from the State treas
ury each year to the extent of ten
thousand dollars for each county,
is expended for the purpose of build
ing permanent roads provision
of the act Of the legislature, and
did Delaware have a Comptroller,
that money would not be permitted
to be grabbed by the two lower
counties and applied to the present
system of rounding up and gravel
ing dirt roads, which have to be
done over in less than three years
after the so called good road is built.
New Castle County is clearly en-
titled to this money, as in that
county they are building good
roads, and roads which are as near
permanent as it is possible for this
day. We want it clearly under
stood, that it is not with The men
who are doing the work, or who are
expending the money, but with the
system, and the men who compose
the Levy Courts, who are deliber-
ately disregarding the laws provid-
ing for this appropriation, and max
ing oath to the statement TO the
State Treasurer, that the county
has raised and expended similar
amount Of money for the building
of good permanent roads. 1t is time
for the adjustment of the present
road system, and the creation Of
another and modern plan for keep
ing the roads out Of politics. They
certainly are of as much Importance
to the general condition of the peO-
pie, as the churches and the schools,
and both Of those are measurably
clear of politics. Let's have the
good roads question made a politi
cal issue in the right sense, and
make it one Of the necessities for
any man to be elected to the legis-
lature, that he shall publicly an
4ounce that he will support any
progressive road laws, and the abol-
isement Of the present system. Del
aware must have good roads, we
want them, we need them.

THE purposes, as announced by
Colonel Roosevelt, and the object
to be obtained by organization Of
the third party in American poll
tics, will not be approved by those
in Delaware who are active in its
creation. No party can rise on the
ashes of another great political or
ganization with disgruntled and
discredited politicians as its leaders,
and in the present movement there
is no great moral question as the
underlying principle as its cause for
being. To most men the principles
of the Roosevelt party is only the
barking back to the old doctrines of
State rights, with modern socialis-
tic tendencies as additions. The
people of Delawsfe, after sec0hd

THE LAYING CONTESTS.

Naturally enough much interest has
been expressed by readers of The
Ranch in the laying contests now
being conducted at two of the expert
ment stations in the east, and this
paper has tried to secure particulars
of the contests from the officials in
charge. To our surprise there seems
to be no way to obtain a compre-
hensive account of the progress Of
the contests; fragmentary details
only, of no especial value to our
readers, being published from time
to time.
How unsatisfactory this state of
affairs is to poultry raisers in general
is indicated by an article in the most
sensible of all the eastern poultry

Oh the glitter and allure OF the
paper profit How many at this time
are burning the midnight oil as they
work out delightful answer to that
dear old problem, how $40 worth Of
eggs and incubator will resolve them
selves into 100 profitable laying hens,
that will in turn increase each year
four fold until. at five years end, one
hundred thousand laying hens whiten
the surrounding hills, and the re-
sultant income Of quarter Of mil
lion dollars annually is available for
our dreamer's purposes. Shall we
try to check his fight into these
realms of fancy by calling to mind let
US say the great goose swindle of but
a few years back wherein investors in
one dollars worth of stock-of the
modest $500 capitalization, were guar
anteed a safe and sane return of $40, :
600 for their much desired dollar?
Aw! what's the use? But, Oh you
paper profit! Whether Highlow or
Yellobass or Hornwing furnishes the
seed. how you do sprout and grow
with the rapidity of the Indian
juggler's banyan tree.

pains to show, and In considerable

PRICES.

1t is the 9th Of June and eggs are
selling at 10 cents per dozen, by the
case, In Seattle; and a lower quota
ton is threatened by the half dozen
gentlemen, headed by bigger one,
who make the egg quotations. For,
strange as it may seem, these quota
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1912-06-15

lions on which our eggs are sold bear
no relation to that time honored ghost
Il Law of Supply and Demand. We
have progressed beyond that in the
egg business and the prices we receive
are regulated by a gentleman sur
rounded by a few other gentlemen
who are just now engaged in the
profitable operation of cold storaging
our eggs at 10 cents per.
Having put the price down to the
lowest figure ever known and crowded
the market with a tremendous flood
of eggs by threats of still lower prices
the cold storage men find themselves
in trouble over the weather. 1t has
been so beastly hot lately that many
of the eggs will not stand storing.
Seems careless not to have arranged
for proper weather while they were
about it. Anyway a vast quantity of
eggs have gone into storage at price
that is nothing less than downright
stealing from every farmers wife in
Washington, to say nothing of the
other egg producers.
1t will cost the cold storage
barons less than two cents per dozen
to pay storage and interest charges
on these eggs and from past ex-
perience 46 cents per dozen is con-
sentative estimate Of the price the
eggs will bring them, a net profit of
25 cents per dozen or 119 per cent
profit on the six months transaction.
That is ALL Now what do you people
who have produced these 10 cent eggs
from S37 per ton wheat and corn think
of the proposition? And when you
remember that there are a hundred
thousand or so of you egg producers
and only a little bunch of these
other fellows, don't you feel pretty
cheap?
The big gentleman, surrounded by
the other gentlemen, will take his AZ
cent formerly our 10 cent? eggs out
of storage next winter. Why not put
|
one over on him? 1t seems to me
that the several thousand women and
some men = all having votes = who
produce eggs within Seattle's far
| flung boundary lines, can make their
influence felt and rib up something
in the way of city ordinance that
will appreciably lower the price of
these cold storage eggs when they
emerge from their cave. Tacoma,
Spokane and Bellipgham papers
please copy. And meantime we in
the country can make mighty show
of hands to the candidates for legisla-
tive honors when they come soft
soldering amongst us. Why. it's as
easy as taking little Willie's candy
if only we stick. There's sure enough
OF us. Me? I'm for fresh egg candi
dates. | don't see why we can't have
few tags to put on the cold storage
eggs next winter-not 46 cent tags,

A Little Sermon

ing hen proposition, calls for an in
vestment of $1,000 Fer acre all told, or
to put it in an equally understandable
but different fashion, a capitalization
of 81. so per hen for land, fowls and
equipment, on 1000 layer basis, this
capitalize ton per hen rapidly increas-
ing If the flock started with is re-
duced in number. And with this
plant a good man should make $4,000
annual profit for his labor and his in
vestment and it is quite possible he
will make more.
What is the right man for this right
sort of poultry ranch? He must be a
man too rarely seen on poultry
ranches, man of good physical and
mental development and a glutton for
work. The man who can earn 500
per month in the city at mental
labor, who has farm hand 8 strength
and many times his energy will do /;
and not much less of a man than that
will make good in satisfying fash
ion. But the profit of paper. Poof
1t is to laugh.
Most of us when children eyed the
rain bow wistfully, having heard of
the pot of gold buried at its end.
Some of US went after it and, being
only children. the excursion did us
no harm; good perhaps; anyway the
childish excursion into Fairyland has
done no man harm. But what OF the
grown man who goes rainbow chasing
by means of the paper profit; who
accepts at face value the statements
of Highlow and that ilkY Hard to
conceive of anything more ridiculous
but-nevertheless the paper profit
still allures.
Now poultry raising means hard
work and plenty of it, Some common
sense, too, must be displayed. 1t is
not necessary that the beginner should
make $1,000 or more of annual profits,
consequently the investment may be
reduced In size. Again, a person of
the required shrewdness may quite
possibly secure a bargain in land,
possibly too in material, even in
stock. These things would tend to
reduce appreciably the capital re-
quired. But to the work must be
brought a better capital; of sense,
health and energy; and the first step
in approaching it from the proper
angle should be the throwing over
board of the book, paper or price list
that held the alluring paper profit.
