IND NOT APPEAR

IL This was the second date set
for the appearance of the Morning
Progress, which was to have been
started in Ell Centro by O. b. Tout OF
Calexico. 1t did not materialize, and
it is understood the project has been
abandoned.
The founding of a daily paper is a
task far more difficult than most per-
sons realize, and though each year
hundreds of Americans make the ven
ture for this reason but Il few score
ever get their papers on paying ba-
sis In the Judgment of the Press, Nh.
Tout had set his hand to a task that
was an utter impossibility without a
sinking fund of about $4,000. and it
was better for him to abandon the
project before the paper was launched
than later
That practically no encouragement
was given the venture by the people
of Ell Centre appears to be true, and
this policy rested on the belief that
it was better for any town to have
one good newspaper, if that is all 1t
can support comfortably, than to have
greater number OF papers struggling
for existence and in no case making
a creditable appearance. while resting
as a heavy burden on the business
men of the community.
The failure even to get the new pa
per started shows how fully the Press
meets the newspaper requirements
not only OF this city, but of the entire
valley, i'll which it is practically the
only daily paper.
The Press, starting as a weekly
nearly eleven years ago, and the
Standard, entering the daily field more
than five years ago, the two now be-
ing combined this journal has steadily
gained in prestige until no one ques
tiOns its full command of the neWSpa-
per field il occupies.
Thousands of persons in all parts
of the valley depend upon il alone for
news OF the world, scores of business
men depend upon it alone for publicity
and hundreds profit daily from the
classified advertisements which have
made of the paper a yeritable public
market place.
The newspaper becomes the most
closely associated with the lives OF
the people Tor whom Il speaks of any
private enterprise. and for this rea-
SON. difficult as it is to establish Il
newspaper, when once well founded it
is almost indestructible.

OoUGHNuTs FROM COTTON
SEED.

oouGHNuTs FROM COTTON
SEED.
We received by mail a sample
lot of doughnuts made from cot
ton seed meal with the compli-
ments of the Cotton Seed Crush
ers Association. The advent OF
cotton seed into the realm Of hu-
man food is no surprise to those
who have watched the progress
which has been made in the util-
ization Of cotton seed oil and
cake. The lower animals revel
in its succulent and nutritious ell
ements and thrive on it. The oil
has for many years been en-
ployed as human food and many
housewives have adopted it to
the exclusion of lard. The favor
won by this great Southern plant
has come through regular pro-
cesses since the Civil War. At
one time cotton seed were under
the ban except as seed for grown
plants Back in the ffties a very
wise Mississippi legislature
passed a bill making it a misde-
meanor for a farmer to leave his
seed lying loose around the
place. This bill was a hygienlc
measure and was intended to
protect the families and tenants
of the slothful. Strange it is
now that the fertilizing value
was not discovered from the
good patches of corn and cotton
that grew next to the old fash
toned gin houses where the seed
were left to decay.
Since that time cotton seed has
become the principal and most
valuable element in fertilizers
for the growth of nearly every
plant.

Will Try Spring Wheat.
LeWistown Argus.

AeWAeIOWu ArBue.
We have talked with q number of
farmers recently regarding the crop
prospects for the coming season and
have found that a good many will try
spring wheat, some prefering the
macaroni variety for spring sowing.
Thousands of acres were prepared for
fall sowing, but weather conditions
made it impossible to get in the crop.
ut it ia moi intended to let the soil
lie idle.
There are many who believe that
spring wheat can be successfully grown
in Montana If the seeding Is done in
April or early in May. There have
been springs when it could have been
done in M arch. If we have an early
spring, it should be taken advantage
of, otherwise there will be q heavy
falling of in the wheat crop over last
year. when farmers need all the money
their acres will produce. 1t Ia an
unfair test of the soil, the season and
other conditions to SOW spring wheat
Is late as June on poorly prepared
land, something that has been done In
this county In the past two or three
years. 1t is expecting altogether too
much, lit matters not how rich the soil.
