Smaller Burley Production

THE hurley district has smaller
production with poorer quality than last
year, but shows an advance in price.
"The sun cured district of Virginia
had fine crop when harvested. and
curing was about finished in good con-
dition when week or 10 days of hot
damp weather in October did serious
damage by causing leaf to mold while
hanging in the barns.

number of adults and children is required
to produce the crop. The largest average
cash income per farm and per capita is

including Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri,
North and South Dakota, Kansas and
Nebraska"
THE cotton crop now seems to be
established in value as next in order
after corn. The lint of this crop In
1913, at the price of December 1, had
an estimated value of $79S,000,O00, and
this was not equalled in any former
year. 1t is 141s per cent above the aver
age of the preceding five years. The
estimated number of bales of 500 pounds
gross weight in this crop is 13,675,
900, consequently this crop has been
exceeded in quantity by the crops of
1911 and 1912. If the estimated value of
the cotton seed is added to that of lint.
the total farm value of this crop
amounts to $945 900 900, an increase of
16 per cent over the average of the pre-
vious five years. Texas usually pro-
duces from one-fourth to one-third the
cotton crop of the United States. The
cotton crop of the United States in
1913 covered 36,011 900 acres, it is es-
timated, an increase of per cent over
1912

Tobacco Follows


Tobacco follows the potato crop in
order of value in 1913. The average
farm price of this crop, 12.1c per
pound, is the highest since 1864. The
tobacco crop of 1913 is the most valua-
BILE one ever raised in this country and
average of the preceding five years.
The quantity of the production, how
ever, is slightly under that average
and has been exceeded by three former
crops.
1.-The final estimate of the production
of tobacco in 1913 is 1874, 900 pounds,
compared with 62,S55,000 pounds in
1912; reduction of 9,121, 900 pounds. or
less than l per cent. The average price
per pound on December 1 was 12S
cents against 10.S cents December l.,
last year. an advance of cents. The
December 1 value is estimated to be
1922, ,4S1, 900 compared with $104,063,Q00
in 1912, an advance of SIS, 5000, or
III per cent.
Cigar tobacco-the leading states
in the production of this crop in 1913
are Kentucky, North Carolina and Vir-
ginia, in the order named.
THE total production of cigar tobae-
co is estimated at 1873, $50, 900 pounds, or
10 per cent less than last year, with
a total value of $24.075.000. or less than
in 1912.

ROOSEVELT CRTTICISES IDAHO COURT
COLONEL COMPARES IDAHO ACTION WITH DRED SCOTT DECISION
And CITES LINCOLNS REFERENCE TO THAT ACTION

because they criticised, in less severe
language than Abraham Lincoln, a
decision as indefensible from every
standpoint of law and justice and
popular rights as the Dred Scott de-
cision itself.
"A case like that in Idaho shows
the need of the power of popular
recall of the judiciary, a need which
| believe could probably best be met
by having the judges appointed or
elected for life. but subject on petit
tion to recall by popular vote every
two years.
This action would not, however,
meet all the difficulties of the case.
In this state, for instance. there have
been many well-meaning judges who,
in certain cases, usually affecting la
Dor, have rendered decisions which
were wholly improper, wholly reac-
tionary and fraught with the grav-
est injustice to those classes of the
community standing most in need of
justice. What is needed here is not
the right to recall the Judge, who in
some one instance gives a mistaken
and reactionary Interpretation to its
constitution, but the right of the
people themselves to express after
due deliberation their definite judg-
ment as to what the constitution
shall permit in the way of legisla-
tion for social and industrial justice.
Il hold that In such a case as the
bakeshop case. in such a case as the
workmen's compensation act, in such
a case as the tenement house sugar
factory act, in such a case as the
act providing for the safeguarding
against dangerous machinery, in
such case as the eight-hour law,
that it is for the people to them
selves to decide whether such a law
is or is not to stand on the statute
books. | do not care whether you
call this action OF their constituting
the constitution or making the con-
stitution. l care for the fact and
not for the name"

Governor West Indulges in Dis
graceful Fist Fight in Capitol

Salem, Ore, Feb. Governor
Oswald West and Frank l.. Perkins,
a Portland newspaper man, engaged
in a fist fight tonight at the capi-
tol, but before either was injured
byst&nders separated the pair as they
rolled about the floor
Between Perkins and the governor
considerable feeling has existed late
ly because of an article attacking the
governors policy, which the COVER
nor declared had been written by
Perkins.
Perkins had just entered the capi-
tol and was talking to the senators
when West emerged from his office.
West. overhearing some remark by
Perkins, evidently thought it was ad-
dressed to him, Tor he said to Per-
kins:
Did you speak to me?"
Perkins replied that he did not.
Governor West then told Perkins
that he did not want any man who
misrepresented him to speak to him
and forbade Perkins ever addressing
him again.
Hot words on both sides followed,
so bystanders said, and finally the
men came to blows.
Perkins was Knocked to the floor,
it was stated, Governor West falling
on him. Both combatants rolled
around, hitting and striking at one
another unit lthey were pulled apart.

Scale receipts at Tidings office

bring rs per cent more trees to the
acre than the rectangle system and
lends itself very nicely to the filler
system.
Take piece OF paper and figure
the arrangement all out before you
set the orchard. no not plant trees
at such distance that when you
come to thin them out the trees will
be too far apart. Make a careful
study of the work at first and it will
help very much"
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1913-02-17

THE distance to plant trees will
depend somewhat upon the variety of
fruit you wish to grow and upon the
conditions under which you are
working" said Mr. Lewis, discussing
the question. Where the soil is
light in character the trees can be
planted closer together than on the
low attitudes. On some of the up
lands of eastern Oregon and on some
of the lands in western Oregon 25
feet will be sufficient for apples, but
on very good soil so to 35 feet is
preferable; pears 20 to % feet;
peaches ~ to 20. and prunes 1S to
20 feet on the poor soils, and 20 to
% feet on rich loans.
I'VE find cherries will need the
maximum distance, though some
plant with filters. The loss of
cherry trees from gummosis and
winter injury is great so the system
of filters can be practiced. When
the trees are first planted they will
not need to be more than 20 to 80
feet part and by the time they are
mature they will lie about the right
distance. They do not need to be
planted 35 to 40 feet apart in the
beginning. Walnuts require 40 to
60 feet.
Before ordering trees determine
carefully the acreage you wish to
plant and the system you are to
adopt in planting the trees. 1t will
make a great deal of difference
whether you plant the trees in rec
tangular heXagoral or quincunx.
The most common system of these is
the rectangular. In this system the
square or rectangles are easily cultl-
waited. However, this does not give
as many trees to the acre as many
other systems and they are not
equally distributed over the land.
The heXagonal system means that
the trees are set out six trees in
circle with the seventh tree in the
center. When set out this way the
trees are equally distant whatever
direction you look and the trees use
equally the ground and air space, so
! that you have a splendid distribution.
| 1t is not quite as easy to till except
when the trees are young From
horticultural point of view this sys-
TEN is not altogether satisfactory for
it does not lend itself so easily to
the filler system. This system gives
about Is per cent more trees to the
acre than the rectangular.
THE QuincunX system is desirable
where filters are to be used. 1t
means planting in squares or rec
tangles and putting a filler in the
center of the square or rectangle.
When the orchard IS mature the CEN
ter tree can be taken out This will

Why All This Local Enmity Against
o. A. c.?

Medford Sun: The Joint ways and
means committees of both houses
visited o. A. C. the other day.
According to their report this in
stitution is something more than a
mushroom:
THE new buildings are plain, sub
stantial and admirably fitted for
their purposes. The expenditure of
appropriations is 'judicious and eff
fective.' Strict economy and busi-
nesslike methods prevail" D."
I'VE found a splendid appearing
body of young men and young wom-
en- in attendance. We were particu-
larly pleased to find them earnestly
and enthusiastically engaged in the
most practical AMI valuable lines of
study"
Meanwhile several local ranchers
have returned from, Corvallis and
are without exception enthusiastic
over the institution and the courses
offered
We have never been able to under
stand the apparent local enmity
against this institution, vigorously
led by the Medford Mail Tribune.
All colleges and universities have
their shortcomings but for suppos-
edly disinterested parties to keep up
continual campaign of criticism
and unwavering opposition against
any institution whose purposes are
in general so worthy and whose SER
vices are so necessary as those of
the o. A. c., is, to say the least,
mysterious.
We are not ignorant of the an
cient irrigation experiment in Bear
creek orchards, we have heard of
padded registration lists, and of the
political adroitness of President
KerT-but what Of it?
There is not Z university that
hasn't made mistakes, there are few
whose registration lists represent
solely the number of ear students,
and we have to so no farther than
our next president of the United
States to find 4 past master of the
political game who made rather a
good record as president of Prince
ton University
In our opinion the state of Oregon
is big enough for both o. A. c. and
the state university, and the Rogue
river valley is big enough both fol
Professor O'Gara and the Agricul
tural College.
The more information this part O.
the state can get from o. A. c., the
more friendly and mutual the rela
ton can be, the better for the vale!
and the better for the college.
Criticising Corvallis for flagran
mistakes is one thing, pursuing al
attitude of continual fault-findin:
and Withholding all commentator il
another. For our part we should a
least like to see sort OF armed
truce maintained while the real "in
wardness" OF the trouble can be de
termined.

AGAINST THE ATHLETIC GIRL
Ensl'shman Comes Out Strongly on
the subject Of Feminine induL
ssnes In Outdoor spor<A

"untidy. crude and lacking In man.

eording to Sir Thomas Holdich, who
recently gave expression to some
strong views on the use and abuse
Of sports on the occasion of the dis.
tribution Of sports prizes at Princess
Helena college. Ealing. as reported In
the Daily Graphic.
Nowadays" he said, there is 4
tendency to mistake the means for the
end. Games were meant to make one
happy and strong and. incidentally. to
teach one the value of good temper
and courtesy. They are not. and nev.
sr should be. the whole end and aim Of
ones existence.
THE athletic girl, for instance, is
aot altogether worthy Of imitation. for
II she does not succeed in getting In
the front rank she is too likely to
show her disappointment.
She is not always as tidy as she
might be, her methods are sometimes
exceedingly crude and her manners-
we'll. she has none"
He added that he did not consider
such girl by any means the most
adorable of her sex. He had also
heard an eminent sculptor say that
golfing and tennis do not conduce to
the grace and perfection of the female
figure.
Despite these dispsraging remarks
girls are still playing the game" In

CLAUSE IS FATAL ONE
SUPREME COURT RULES AGAINST
ACT OF 1912.
Affects Building and Loan Associations
and Corporations Whose Business
L Loaning Money on Real
Estate.

Observation-Disclosures act OF the Missis.
sippi legislature u 1912 was called out
OF play by the trio of umpires who
stand between the legislature and the
people, at the sitting OF the supreme
court. Like the decision OF the same
trio in the automobile registry law case,
the decision involves considerable con.
fusion and also a re~funding of |payInent
into the treasury made under the pro-
visions of the act which is nullifed.
The case which was brought to test
the legality of the act in controversy,
chapter 1G7 of the laws OF 1912, is st yled
4. E. Hakell VS.. Merchants Union In.
surance Company, from the chancery
court OF Jones county. 1t is entitled
An act providing for the organization,
regulation and supervision OF domestic
and foreign building and loan associa-
tons, or domestic and foreign corpora
lions whose business is loaning money
on real estate" etc.
The opinion of the court was rendered
by Justice Cook, and was unanimous, to
the effect that the act is void, owing
to inconsistencies in its provisions with
the provisions of the general law regu-
lating the rate OF interest chargeable in
the state.
The court does not indicate any disap-
proval OF the general features Of the
act, those comforting supervisory and reg

lie accounts. The fatal clause in the
act is section nine. which in effect pro-
vldes that such associations, either now
existing or afterwards organized. shall
be permitted to contract for loans TO its
members, or to applicants or borrowers
who are not members in this state, at a
rate OF interest not TO exceed 10 per
centum per annum.
The court drew attention to the incon-
sistency of this provision with the gen.
eral law passed earlier in the same ses-
sion, fixing the contract rate OF interest
at eight per cent. This other law is
chapter 229 of the same volume. which
amends the code sections governing in
terest rates.
This conflict, declared the court, clear
ly in%validates the act i'll controversy, as
it would confer usurious privileges upon
a certain specified class of commercial
industry, to the detriment OF others
either associations or individuals. In the
view OF the court the legislature tool
arbitrary action in the enactment OF such
an obviously weak and discriminating
statute, and for that reason the cast
would be reversed and the act declared
void.
