Diversified Farming

The time is rapidly approaching
when the future prosperity of the
Inland Empire must depend more
largely upon diversified farming.
Soil does not wear outs not ex-
hausted-if it is titled right. Some
of the best agricultural land in the
world has been farmed almost con-
tinuously for hundreds of years and
are today as rich as ever. Nature
supplies in the elements, in inexhaus-
tible quantities, all the essentials of
farming but man must use them
right and it is known that tilling the
soil and stock raising must eventual
ly 60 hand-in-hand; the permanence
and success of each branch of farm
ing depends upon the other.
The farmers and business men of
Pullman instituted a movement last
fall which should generally be fol-
lowed. They held a hog day at
which the possibilities of the porker
as profitable investment and a
morgage-raiser were discussed and
demonstrated. They propose to
make this an annual event.
With the cowboy and his lariat
rapidly disappearing from the wes-
tern plains and the top of the steer
market at Chicago hovering around
the So and SO mark, isn't it time
that the farmers of this community
should recognize the fact that there
is much money to be made in rails
ing livestock for market?
Even Texas. the once great home
of the long-horned steer and the
cowboy. is undergoing such trans
formation that the old time Cow
puncher" would not recognize it.
The small farm is doing away with
the roundup" in the Lone Sta,
state and what is true in Texas is al.
so true in several of the northwest
states. Every livestock expert will
say that the underproduction ot
cattle is to blame for the high sta-.
dard of living costs. 1t is said the
average farmer markets not more
than one or two steers year, wher
he could just as easily feed iozer
or so and make as much money a:
in any other way of disposing o1
the crops he raises.
One of the best posted livestock
growers in the west recently said
THE production of livestock is 60
ing to grow instead of going bacl
as the last few years have shown
because the farmer and the small
ranchman finally have realized tn
profit there is in raising livestock
especially as contrasted with trucl
farming The generous price pait
for stock in the open market, com
bined with the work of the agricul
tural colleges toward this end, hav
helped convince the farmer h
would better change his tactics ant
reap profit in the field of raising
more livestock"

CEDAR CREEK MAN
WRITES FROM MEXICO
Deming, New Mexico,
May IA, 1913.

WI. CQltOI,
AS I told you would drop
you line and thinking my friends
in Idaho might like to hear. from
this part of the wilderness, perhaps
you will give it a short space in
your paper. I cannot write to them
all separately.
l am in Deming, New Mexico,
situated in Membres Valley. This
Valley has about $50, 900 to 200, 900
acres, and as farming country is
only about four years old. Al
though along the Membres river the
Mexicans have farmed in their
primitive way for a long time.
There is a company daming the riv-
er and expect to irrigate by the
Gravity System, but the principal
way now, and will be, is the Pump
ing Plants.
Deming is 43O0 feet above sea le-
vel. is cool nights and mornings,
but sometimes in the middle of the
day it gets rather warm. 1t is dry
though, and one does not mind the
heat as they can sleep we'll at night.
Friends, it would do you good to
see the roads here. They are al
most like a plank floor. haven't
seen but'one four-horse team, and
that was pulling an engine to a
pumping plant. Just think of a
pump throwing. from 500 to 1900
gallons per minute, but they are
here just the same and the water is
inexhaustible.
Alfalfa will be the principal crop,
= but believe they can grow other
crops profitably. One man east OF
Deming had 1000 pounds of beans
per acre last year, but it is all in its
infancy, as they have only tried il
four years.
But the best of all, it is healthy
here and the sun shines nearly all o1
the time. Many people come here
just for their health, and they gen
orally get it or regain it.
The winters are mild, although
last winter was colder than it usually
gets here. Snow does not last Ions
when it falls, and one never has tt
wear rubbers except in some place!
for, perhaps, six months of the year
am not running down Idaho o,
Latah county, in particular. TO
when it comes to producing, Latal
county cannot be beat. But what i
it worth to one after he is dead
This is far ahead for climate.
Deming is sure to make a goot
town, as it is surrounded by noun
tains and will be a distributing
point. 1t has three railroads. is on
ly 81 miles from El Passo, 100 an,
some odd miles from Kansas City
and about 30 miles to the Interna
tional line.
Yours respt.,

ALIEN BILL NOW
CALIFORNIA LAW

UnlII UIIIvIn lU
California's alien land bill became
law of the state Monday. Against
the protests of Japan and the repre-
seutation of President Wilson and
his personal envoy, Secretary Bryan.
Governor Johnson signed the bill.
Ninety days after the adjournment of
the legislature, which will be August
10, the act becomes operative.
While the Governor was signing
the bill the steamship Korea, bear
ing two distinguished Japanese. one
former pupil of President Wilson.
was passing through the Golden
Gate on mission of investigation.
Within California the act encount-
cred triple hostility which may delay
its effectiveness until November,
1914. In the first place. the demo-
Gratis opposed the state legislation at
this time as matter of party regu-
larity. Nevertheless so plain to
them seemed the demand for the bill
that after exhausting all parliamentary
tactics the senate gave but one ad-
verse democratic vote and the
assembly but two.
AS an expression of this opposi-
ton Theodore Bell, late democratic
candidate for governor and former
chairman of the democratic state
central committee, has issued an in
vitation to his party to submit the
issue to the people by invoking the
referendum against the bill. He
bases his opposition on two conten-
tions-one that the bill is insuffici-
emily drastic because it premits
leases running three years; and the
other that at the present it embras-
ses the national government.
The Asiatic exclusion league. an
organization of which the president
is Olaf Tveitmore. recently convict
ed at Indianapolis of completely in
the national dynamite plot, announc-
ed last night that the league would
. invoke the referendum purely be-
cause the league opposes the bill as
. faint-hearted.
Thirdly, the powerful Panama
Pacific International Exposition
company. backed by many cham
bers of commerce, has placed itself
on record in opposition to the bill
on the ground that it is violation
of treaty faith.
In reply to this threatened hostil-
ity Governor Johnson said today in
: signing the bill, California for the
: first time in its history has an anti
alien law. Any man who wishes
another kind OF law may consist
entity invoke the initiative. No man
who really wishes an anti-alien law
n will sign the referendum as to this
:. law.
q If another law is sought it may
c be presented by means of the initi-
: ative, and in the meantime, the pres
S ent law will be in operation.
e The two visiting Japanese are Sor-
Il oku Ebara of the constutionalist
II party and a member of the house oi
peers, and Ayayo Hattorti of the ma
c tionalist party and a member of the
n lower house. On their arrival here
o they made it plain that they do no,
{ come in any official capacity, but
p merely as representatives of their
parties with a view of learning wha,
are the actual conditions and the
prevailing sentiment in California.

But this condition cannot be cured
entirely by legislation. Education in
the home, among the boys and girls.
would be a great step forward. The
greatest number of divorce applicants
are young people who did not tina
marriage the romance which the NIL
rage q their imagination pictured.
Elop0rs 10 other states, romantic girls
who wwske to the fact that marriage
is a. rife contract with responsibilities,
are quick to ask d separation. Older
persons, who have not been divorced
before. are slow to take recourse to the
divorce courts.
"The young wife who has made
quick marriage because she happens to
have pretty face doesn't always have
the hest luck. She forgets that mar
rage begets responsibilities. And the
young man who has picked out the
pretty face and lost sight of a girls
real worth, or the lack of it, may lag
in his affection when beauty is on the
wane.
What legislation should do is to
limit the marriage of those not morally
or intellectually fit. The man who can
marry. Neither has the girl who has
no idea of a wife's home duties. Such
persons. often brought up without any
hold on religion, cannot weather the
storms. They cannot meet
and solve problems that must arise in
every home, and divorce adds another
to its totals
The proctor further charges lawyers
with melting clients to get divorces in
stead of trying to adjust marital diff
ferences. And he adds this bit of obvi-
Gus wisdom:
1.-THE hotels, boarding houses and the
like are fatal to matrimony. hotel
and motor car is combination on
which the divorce court feeds. Some
people, of course, can be happy any
where. But life in ones own home is
the best insurance against separation"
This report is easily accepted as true,
as will be the conclusions of Proctor
Wright by sensible, unprecedented pee
Pile. But those whose immortality, in
or other inspirations have
sniff in contempt at the moral side OF
the question and the effect upon others
1t is painfully evident that IN the d.
vorce evil. as in others, personal lib
erty" to do as ones perverted appetites
and passions dictate. must be restrain
ed by law for the effect upon coming
only lax and unenforced
laws are to blame for the most of our
ills. A suggestion for the restraint of
the divorce evil is more power to probe
divorce eases-to make the penalty of
those things which are
ground for divorce. publicity and
general airing of the skeletons which
those desiring separation have builded.

act providing penalty of $500 fine or

ment is such that it is likely soon to
become law. Automobile manufact-
urers and dealers and automobile
owners have common interest with
the public in doing what is possible
to suppress the drunken chauffeur,
and all have united in urging string
ent laws for the purpose. The great
er proportion of accidents is due to
intoXication on the part of those at
the steering wheel of the cars.
And is not that true IN every other
vocation of life? Are not the greater
proportion of ALL accidents and sor

When Uncle Sam discharges the
drunken chauffeur that is SO largely

ton, then there will be less accidents

The Pitfalls of Society"

1.-THE pitfalls of society unfit men for
business" declared Rev. James Shera
Montgomery, pastor of the Metropoli-
tan Memorial M. E. church, Washing
ton. n. W., Sunday night. He bitterly
arraigned society, Endorsed women's
love of finery, and condemned The de-
sire of mothers to marry Off their
daughters. He characterized society as
in many ways light, shallow. n sham,
a farce and empty. As a general rule,
the preacher stated, society units tie

As the beautiful and artistic in life
serves to bring, forth our best instincts,
women's desire for artistic and beau
tiful hats is to be indorsed over the
ugly bonnets that some wear, he said
DIR. Montgomery addressed personal
letters to more than 100 leading pro-
fessional and business men of the
country, and his sermon was based on
the replies

that a review of it will be to our read
ers. W. W. Wright, divorce proctor,
has just complied a detailed statement
Of the divorce suits that have come
under his observation. He declares that
immortality is the most common cause
Of divorce and that-intemperance is

cover the real reason for separation
by h'msy excuses, He maintains that
the best wives are college graduates
Who have saddeH thereto Il practical

Beginning With immortality as the

strict enough; lack of practical home

Tight housekeeping; men poor pro-
duccrs.
In this connection, Mr.. Wright comes
