Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1912-12-27

Among these qualms there was mono
that pleaded for the desolate Turk or
his minions whose carelessness had
made the theft possible. For all George
| cared. the Moslem might grind his
forehead In the soulless sand II
make the air palpitate with his plants
to Allah. No. The disturbance was
due to the fact that never before a
he been Willingly the purchaser OF
stolen goods. He never tried to gloze
over the subtle distinction between
knowing and suspecting; and II ne a
been v%ariously suspicious in regard 10
certain past bargains, conscience nao
found no sizeable wedge for her de-
murrers. The Yhiordes was confessed
ly stolen.
He paused, with his hand upon the
door-knob Of his room. II he dldnt
keep the rug, it would fall into the
hands Of a collector less scrupulous.
To return it to the Pasha at Bagdad
would be pure folly, and thankless. IL
was one of the most beautiful weaV-
tngs in existence. 1t was as priceless
in it's way as any Raphael in the Vati-
can. And he desired its possession In
tensely. Why not? Insidious phrase!
Was 1t not better that the world
should see and learn what a wonderful
craft the making of a rare rug had
been. than to allow 1t to return to the
sordid chamber of a harem, to newt
able ruin? AS Ryanne said, what the
deuce was a fanatical Turk or Arab
to him?
Against these specious arguments In
favor Of becoming the adventurer's
abettor and accomplish. there was
first the possible stain Of blood. The
man agreed that he had come away
from Bagdad in doubt. George did
not like the thought Of blood. Still,
he had collected a hundred emeralds,
not one of which was without it's red
record. Again. if he carried the rug
home with his other purchases. he
could pull it through the customs only
by lying, which was as distasteful to
his mind as being a receiver of stolen
goods.
He had already paid a goodly sum
against the purchase; and it was not
likely that a man who was down to
reversing his collars and cuffs would

Odd Case Of Friendship.

At the present time a most unusual
case Of affection between a domiciled
and a comparatively wild animal is to
be witnessed at tho little English ham,
let Of Spoonley, near Market Drayton.
On the farm of Mr.. William WOODBURY.
for a week OF two past, a small rough,
somewhat vicious terrier from the
farmstead has been noticed gambolling
in the fields with a large w%ell-devel-
oped hare. Such an attachment IL
most uncommon.

Public Schools.


In antiquity the masses Of the peo-
pie grew up in ignorance OF things
literary. Public education-the educa-
ton that exists for the masses of the
people-began, practically. with John
Calvin's rule in Geneva, from which
time popular education had steadily
gained ground. The free school sys-
tenn had its beginning in Great Brit
ain, about the year 1880. with Robert
Raikes and his Sunday school move
ment. 1t was not until 1860, however,
that the free public schools began to
get itself firmly rooted In the British
Isles. In this country from the start
the idea Of universal education was
championed by Jefferson and other
leaders among US. and the idea has
never ceased : o be fundamental with
US, as absolutely necessary to the

Two days conference will be devoted
to orchard problems, including choice
of site, preparation and planting,
choice of varieties, cultivation of
orchard, pruning, spraying and har
vesting. Wednesdays conference
will be on storage; Thursdays on by
products; Fridays on marketing and
distribution; Saturday morning will
be given to financing, and Saturday
afternoon to "what to grow between
the rows. ;"
In the storage conference, the dis
cussion will be on the question
whether it shall be storage on the
farm, at the initial shipping point,
at an intermediate point, such as
Spokane or in the east; also whether
it should be ''cooler" or "cold"
storage. The matter of ownership of
storage plants-whether by growers,
commission men or under a leasing
system-also will be given attention.
The marketing feature Will be given
great prominence in the conferences.
Heads of growers unions, transporta-
ton officials and bankers will discuss
this question in all its phases. One
expert of national prominence will
discuss the subject of the effect of
the Panama canal on the fruit in
dustry in the Pacific Northwest.
The daily conferences will be open
ed with an hour and half program
of talks, after which general discus
sion will be engaged in by all.

Secure a Permanent Home

Through the county fair we must
give them this information or the
alternative of refusing them admit
lance. This last step we cannot even
seriously consider. According to the
1910 census only II per cent of all
land in King county is in farms.
Such figures are almost incredible,
yet they become absolutely astOnish
ing when the same authority places
the value of farm land at S125 and
over per acre. Only three counties
in the state can claim this distinc
ton, i. e., Chelan, Yakima and King.
Is it any wonder that thousands of
dollars worth of produce is shipped
in from other sections to supply the
demand and feed the people of Seat
tie? Does it not seem that the agri
cultural interests of this county have
been somewhat neglected? Does it
not seem worth while to support every
attempt that is being made today to
advance these interests?
For any fair to be ultimately sue
cessful it must have this educational
feature as it's foundation. Races,
blue ribbons or silver cups must be-
come minor considerations.
At the King County Fair of a few
weeks ago the educational features
we're made the most of. Yet SO long
as the association is deprived of a
permanent home it can never be de-
veloped to It's greatest extent. There
always will be doubt and uncertainty.
The grounds another year may not be
available at the time wanted, or the
lease may be so high as to be beyond
reach. An undertaking, beneficial in
it's very conception, carried on for
the good of everybody should never
be allowed to suffer financially. Nor
should we allow unworthy features to
enter the gates, partly to cover ex-
penses, but in reality preventing the
purpose of the institution. Which
ever way we view the proposed bond
issue it cannot be but for the good of
all. The benefit may be slight, some
times very indirect, but very real
nevertheless.
Let us support this most commend
able proposal at the next election
and help place King county in the
very front rank of agricultural ad
vance.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1912-11-01

Attempts are being made to secure
permanent home for the King
County Fair. Judging from the in
terest that agricultural fairs have
everywhere aroused this last year we
may safely assume that few people
today question the need for under
takings of this kind. For the unin-
itiated it is a period of wonder and
amazement, for many time of frolic
and again to not a few unfailing
medium of obtaining splendid in
formation. This last feature is going
to be emphasized more and more as
time goes on. Science by collecting
information and arranging it syste-
matically has made possible the giving
and obtaining Of information at such
a time. In this age of travel, due IN
a large measure TIC our increased
transportation facilities, man is no
longer chained to his fathers district.
The time was not so many years ago,
and some tent is yet, when few
sons ventured forth to other sections
and lands, there to establish a home.
True, thousands have come to our
shores as immigrants, yet they were,
after all, omparatively few. Where
one left, hundreds chose to remain
and exc out a living in badly over
crowded country or district The
abandoned orchards and farms of
New England are today dying testi
monials of mistakes made by those
same immigrants and their children,
who came, did not know, and had no
way of finding out. But conditions
are changing. Except for traditions
and flag, the world is rapidly becom-
ing one as distance is eliminated.
Thousan DIS are coming to our wonder
full Puget Sound and hundreds OF
thousands are to follow. Our beauti-
full climate, fertile soils and cheap
transportation will draw them here
just as sure as other sections are
overcrowded or the climate is unde-
sirable. A large majority will go out
upon the farm lands and become
permanent residents. In coming here
they find not orchards already plant
ed, homes ideal in every respect, not
even the condition of market, soil and
climate similar to those left behind
and to which they had become &C
customed, but lands just cleared or
yet to be freed of stumps, orchards to
be set out, homes to build, strange
conditions to become familiar with.
1t is these people that we must reach
through the county fair in order to
give them the experience of others.
If these experiences are good it is for
them to follow, if not, we owe it to
them that these mistakes be not re-
peated.
