they get the money. We work on a

eve boast of five or six hundred
bushels of potatoes raised on an acre,
but at the Delmeney farms in Scot
land they have run the record up to
1850 bushels on the measured acre,
and they understand their business
so well and are so systematic that
they can work along in their adverse
climatic conditions and beat us about
two to one, and it is due to knowing
how and doing it the best known way.
wish each one of your farmers could
be induced to reduce his acreage one
half and give himself the pleasure Of
farming the reduced acreage twice as
we'll, doing less work on the half
than he has been doing on the whole,
receiving as much income from the
half as he has been receiving from
the whole and with less expense. If
he would try that for just one year
he would find so much more pleasure
and so much more profit he would
never return to the old slipshod way
of farming.
"Your really progressive people
can get immediate relief from pres
ent conditions and can get started in
the new and better ways by several
means. Your county fair is one of
the very effective ways; every man
should bring some products to the
fair if he has any that are at all
good, and he should bring his family
there to study what others have rails
ed, to confer with them, to arrange
for exchange or purchase of the best
seeds, plants, bulbs, breeds, etc., and
go back home with information and
materials that will enable them to
accomplish more the following year
without working any harder. It is
all right to go to the fair for the pur-
pose of having some fun and seeing
the sports and races, but that alone
will never make them better farmers
and stockmen. Let them spend the
forenoon seeing the exhibits and
studying them, and the afternoon
with the sports.
Another means of getting started
in better ways of farming is the po-
tato clubs, the farmers institutes,
the movable schools, stockjudging
contests, domestic science work and
all those things that offer instruction.
Those who first fit themselves to meet
the new conditions will be the leaders
in their communities and will receive
the first and best rewards"

SCARCITY Of WATER.

Snake river always drops to a low
level in the latter part of July, and
where bars have formed in front of
headgates 1t cuts off the flow sudden
ly. A number of canal companies
have had to cut through gravel bars
the past week or two to get water
again.
The flood was turned In from
Jackson Lake and it raised the river
about eight inches at Blackfoot,
week ago.

Senate Committee Finds Inauguration
Crowds Caused Hostility to
Women In Parade.

Washington, d. C.-Superintend-
ent Sylvester and the Washington
police are absolved from blame for
the disorders which attended the
woman suffrage pageant here on
March 8. The report of the senate
committee which investigated the af-
fair was presented to the senate.
The immense crowd that focked to
Washington for the Inauguration, and
the fact that street cars we're per-
United to operate along the line of
march up to the last moment, were
charged with being principally re-
sponsible. The police were generally
praised for their efforts to give the
marchers a clear path.
The marchers virtually we're
swamped by the crowd. Many of
the women testified before the COM
mittee that they were insulted, man.
handled and spat on in sight of police
men who gave them 10 aid. Others
who swore they were eyewitnesses
testified they saw no disorder. The
committee held that, while some Of
the uniformed and special policemen
acted with apparent indifference and
made little attempt to check the
crowds, the whole force should not
be discredited.

FUNERAL HoN0Rs FOR A MARE
Trotter Destroyed In Fire Is Given
obsequies in Keeping With Al
f~ectionate Regard Of Owner.

Betty Green, a trotting mare de-
stroyed In a fire at Belleville, Ill.,.
was given funeral honors in keeping,
with her record of 2:10 and with the,
affectionate regard Of her owner, VIII
liam H. Reichert. The body was,
drawn to the grave, on the Walnut
Grove stock farm, by six blooded
youngsters, and was lowered by stable
boys. The coffin was rose lined. Mr..
Refchert pronounced a eulogy after
re~counting the mares track achieve
ments.
Perhaps Betty Green's terrible form
of death aroused Mr.. Reichert's sym
pathies the more keenly, but the in
tense love of a great race horse by an
owner is a primary sentiment. Maud
S. had more friends than any horse
in history, being a~pproachable, in
Quisitive and fond of contact with the,
many whom Robert Bonner delighted
In taking to her paddock.
James R. Keene mourned Sysonby
as he would one of his family. This.
superb runner had the admiration Of
the east without the popularity of,
Maud S., a trotter and a record break
er in times when trotting was the
consuming passion, Mr.. Keene, who
never bet on the races. was to have,
Sysonby's remains preserved, but his,
only monument is his unique position
among American thoroughbreds.

FAILED TO ASK RETRACTION
Provision of Michigan Law Is a Large
Issue In Libel Suit of Roose-
Welt Against Newett.

Marquette, Mich,-Lawyers in at
tendance on the suit Of Theodore
Roosevelt against George A. Newett,
charging libel, are looking forward
with great interest to a prospective
ruling by Judge Finnigan, constituting
section 1925 Of the Michigan com.
piled laws, bearing on libel.
The law was designed to protect
newspapers from the consequences of
honest mistakes, and provided that
demand for r~etraction of a libelous
article should be made by the Of
Tended party.
Col. Roosevelt made no such de-
mand, it is admitted, and on this
point the legal experts are looking
for interesting developments.

WHY GIRLS QUIT SCHOOL
Less Than Half Go to Work Because
Parents Need the Money, U. S.
Experts Find.

Washington, D. C.-"Why Girls
Leave School, is the title Of a bulle-
tin issued by the United States bu-
reau of education, based on an in
CURRY made by its experts into trade
and labor conditions among girls in
Worcester, Mass.
The claim that children are forced
to leave school to work because their
parents need the money is repudi-
ated by the officials of the bureau.
They found that from one-half to
three-quarters of the girls at work
in the factories could have had
further schooling if they had desired
1t.
Various reasons were assigned by
the girls for their refusal to attend
school longer, according to- the bu-
e Some said they did not like
school," others could not get along
with the teacher and were not pro-
noted while many simply wanted
to 60 to work.

THE LURE OF THE WEST
WESTERN CANADA ATTRACTING
THOUSANDS OF SETTLERS.

Writing on the Canadian West an
eastern exchange truthfully says:
"The West still calls with impera-
tive voice. To prairie and mountain.
and for the Pacific Coast, 0ntario's
young men and women are attracted
by tens Of thousands yearly. The
great migration has put an end to the
fear, freely expressed not many years
ago by those who knew the West from
the lakes to the farther coast of Van
couver Island, that Canada would
some day break in two because of the
predominance of Continental European
and American settlers in the West"
This is true. While the immigra-
ton from the United States is large,
running close to 10000 a year, that Of
the British Isles and Continental
Europe nearly twice that number, MAX
ing q total of 100000 per year, there
is a strong influx from Eastern Cam
ada 1t is not only into the prairie
provinces that these people go, but
many Of them continue westward, the
glory of British Columbia's great trees
and great mountains, the excellent
agricultural valleys, where can be
grown almost all kinds of agriculture
and where fruit has already achieved
prominence. Then the vast expanse
of the plains attract hundreds of thou
sands, who at ono set to work to cul-
tivate their vast holdings. There liz
still room, and great opportunity in
the West. The work Of mans hands,
even In the cities with their record
breaking building rush, is the small
est part Of the great panorama that.
Is spread before the eye on a journey
through the country. Nature is still.
supreme, and man is still the divine,
pigmy audaciously seeking to impose
his will and stamp his mark upon an
unconquered half continent
The feature that most commends
itself in Western development today
Is the "home-making spirit" The,
West will find happiness in planting.
