Farming With Dynamite

Dynamite for subsoiling agriculture
al lands is being exploited by the e.
| Pu Pont de Nemours Powder COM
pany. 1t is claimed that on many
soils the %loosening up of the subsoil
will improve the drainage and in
crease the fertility. The work is done
by boring holes to a depth of about
three feet, which on ordinary soil are
spaced about Is feet apart each way.
In each hole is placed about a quarter
of a pound of low grade 20 per cent
dynamite.
According to the Engineering News,
the materials required for an acre of
land treated in this way are about so
pounds of dynamite, 1914 blasting caps
and about 600 feet of fuse. These ms
terials are sold direct to consumers
at a cost of about $3.50. To the cost
of materials must be added, of course,
the cost of transportation and the la.
Dor of boring the holes and placing
the dynamite.

Restrict Asiatic Immigration

Washington, Jan. 23.-After a con-
ference today with Commissioner
General Caminetti, Secretary Wilson,
of the department of labor, advised
Speaker Clark that the problem of
Asiatic immigration could be solved
by congress raising the standard of
admission so as to include in the list
of excluded aliens those persons not
able to pass the physical tests requir-
ed of recruits for the United States
army.
Secretary Wilson says that a con-
certed movement exists in India and
elsewhere to gain admission to the
United States; that Canada has legis-
lated in even more drastic manner
than is provided in bills now pending
in congress, and that if the Hindu
movement is not checked by legisla-
ton not only California and the west
will be affected. "as climatic and in
dustrial conditions in the southern
states and other sections of the union
offer an extensive field for a people
who can come in practically unlimit-
ed numbers, If by failure to do as
Canada and other British colonies
have done, they are tacitly invited"

Origin Of "Dixie"

The Financial Times of London in
a review of the history of the Citi-
zens' bank of Louisiana at New Or
leans, which was converted into the
| Citizens Bank and Trust in
1911, recalls the interesting origin of
Dixie" as applied to the south. After
describing the prosperity of the old
Citizens bank, founded in 1888. with
| some unusual provisions in it's char
ter, and the n in which the in
stitution stood it's ground throughout
/ the vicissitudes of the civil war, it
says:
1.-THE Citizens bank was so closely
identified with the south that it gave
it the name Dixie Land since pre-
| served in the famous southern II
Dixie 1t came about this way: Pri-
or to the civil war in the states the
| Citizens bank had the power to issue
paper money notes, just as the Bank
of England does today. These bills
were issued in denominations of $40
and $50, preferably SO, to the extent
OF a few millions. They were we'll
known and good all over the country.
"These $40 bills were engraved in
French, and on the backs was the
English word Dix very prominent,
and the ignorant Americans living
along the upper Mississippi river, not
knowing how to pronounce the French
word, called the bills 'Dixies.'. Final
ly, the banks money became so pop
| ular that Louisiana was referred to
as the land of the Dixies,' or Dixie
land Afterward the term was made
to apply to all the southern states"

stockmen Propose Alliance

Denver, Jan. 23.-An alliance be-
tween those ancient enemies, the
sheepmen and cattlemen, to work to-
gether to secure better terms for
leasing government lands for grazing
was advocated by former Gov. Frank
r. Gooding of Idaho, at the meeting
of the American National Livestock
association. "The day Of conflict be-
tween these two great western indus
tries should be counted as past" said
the former governor. "The govern
ment has commercialized its grazing
lands. This is not right. Australia
can lay it's sheep and beef products
down in Boston at a less price than
We can ship them from our western
ranges. We are entitled to be placed
on equal terms with Australia" The
speaker advocated a radical reduction
in the charges imposed by the gov.
eminent for grazing privileges.

Report On Montana Creameries

Montana creameries and diaries
are furnishing employment to 5000
men, and are working into dairy pro.
ducts the milk of $4,000 cows, accord
ing to the annual report received
from State Dairy Commissioner A. G.
Scholes.
A glowing picture of the dairy con-
ditions in the state is painted by Mr..
Scholes in his report and a perusal
of the figures showing the rapidly
increasing number in Montana, sup
plements the belief of the commits
sioner that within ten years the mil
lions of dallars flowing out of the
state annually for creamery products
will help swell the bank rolls of local
dairymen at no remote date.
Basing an estimate upon the infor-
nation derived from inspections, Mr..
Scholes places the number of mich
COWS in Montana at $4,000 and the
number of dairymen in the business
At 5000. The number of dairy COW
so far inspected is 1906. The repor
shows that at the present time Cas-
cade county is milking more cow
than any other county in the state
with Ravalli a close second. Carbon
county comes third and FlatheaG
county fourth.

Editorial by Ben Franklin

There two ways of being happy
we may diminish II wants or aug
ment our means-either will do, the
result is the same: and it is for each
man to decide for himself, and do that
which happens to be easiest.
If you are idle or sick O poor, how
ever hard it may be to diminish your
wants, it will be harder to augment
your means.
If you are active of prosperous or
young or in good health, it may be
easier for you to augment your means
than to diminish your wants.
But If you are wise, you will do
both at the same time, young or old,
rich or poor, sick or we'll; and if you
are very wise you will do both in such
a way as to augment the general hap.
piness of society.

as a farming state. We have begun
to take pride in what we have accom-
plished as a producer of food. Yet
our relative position as a producer of
farm products is trifling. The depart
ment of agriculture finds that fifty per
cent of the land area of the state is
potentially available for titled crops.
The estimated percentage of the land
area of Montana potentially available
for non-tilled agriculture is thirty per
cent: while the non-agricultural lands,
that is, that portion Of the land which
can be put to no use at all in the way
of farming, is estimated to be twenty
per cent.
The percentage of the states land
area in crops in 1909, when h last
census of that kind was taken. was
only two. In only five other states
was the percentage less than that. In
four states, Wyoming. New Mexico,
Utah and Nevada, the percentage was
one, and in Arizona it vas less than
one. The highest percentage of lands
in crop was held by Iowa. which had
a percentage of fifty.seven, with Hin.
ois second with fifty-six. For Mon.
tana the number of acres of estimated
potentially tillable land for each arce
in crops in 1909 was twenty-five. In
only three states was it ~higher-Ari.
IONA, New Mexico and Nevada.
Montana is the third largest state
in the union. 1t has an area Of nine.
ty.four million acres Of land, which is
only six millions less than California
and seventy-four millions less than
Texas. Both of these larger states
have a better record than Montana
in respect to the percent of lands III
der cultivation. In 1903 Texas had IL
per cent of it's lands under cultiva.
ton and California five per cent, as
compared with Montana's two per
cent.
All of which indicates that Montana
agriculturally is only at its beginning,
although the state undoubtedly mas
made distinct advances in this direc'
ton during the last four years.

"Men Of Straw"

Mr.. Engelbach, an English author
in a new volume on humors of the
law, relates the following queer bit
of history:
"Some years ago men used to walk
about openly in Westminster hall
with a piece of straw in their boot.
BY this sign attorneys knew that
such persons were in want of employ
ment as false witnesses, and would
give any evidence required, for mon
ey. For instance. If an advocate
wanted an obliging witness he would
go to one of these men and show him
a fee, which, if not sufficient, the wit
ness would not take notice Of. The
fee was then increased until its
weight recalled the power of memory
to a sufficient extent. BY this they
derived their name, Men Of Straw "

AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT

From statistics prepared by the de-
partment of agriculture it is learned
that only twenty-seven per cent of the
tillable land in the country is under
cultivation. Twenty-one per cent of
the land is not available for any form
of agriculture, and the departments
estimates show that there are $685.
100000 acres not in use. These esti-
mates are interesting in view of the
subject of food supplies that nov is
%engrossing the nation.
Despite all theories to the contrary,
the old law of supply and demand gen.
orally is believed to be at the bottom
of higher living costs. From time to
time the country is informed that col.
sumption of food products is increas-
ing at a greater rate than production.
Admitting that to be true, it is some
comfort to learn from the department
of agriculture that the situation is
within the power of the people to
remedy. With little more than one.
quarter of the tillable land under cul-
tivation, and doubtless that portion
yielding only a small part of the food
products it is capable of producing,
the situation in this country is not
alarming. The conclusion is plain
that we need more farmers and more
capital for farming operations.
Montana's place in the statistics re
ferred to is especially interesting. In
recent years we have said a great
deal of the possibilities of Montana

LUCKY LITTLE WAR.

1t is better than fairy tale how
this little boy has landed in snug
home harbor, although he did not
come sailing with soft silken salts
from far off Dreamland into ours, =
in the first place.
He was deserted recently by his
parents when he was not quite five
months old, here in Marietta, left
alone asleep in a bed. However,
there was kindhearted young
woman in the house who took the
poor helpless baby and cared for
him, but she couldn't keep him al
ways; so she sent word to Mrs. Tom
Florence, who acts for the Benovo-
lent association. This good lady
found the waif with no clothes-so
she called a sewing bee to order in
her home last Wednesday afternoon,
and about fifteen pairs of willing
hands soon fashioned an outfit of
dainty garments. The baby was a
plump, brown eyed beauty, and all
he needed was a mother and father.
Mrs. Tom Hicks knew a couple she
was sure would be glad to have such
baby. So on Saturday, Mrs. Har-
ry DuPre came in her big car. with
her dear little son and daughter, and
took Mrs. Hicks, Mrs. Florence and
the little waif away out Powder
Springs road to the childless home
of Mr.. and Mrs. J. M. Johnson.
They soon agreed to adopt the
boy, and Mrs. Johnson declared he
was just the kind of baby she want
ed, and to think he had come in
such an up-to-date way
Then Mrs. Hicks suggested his
name should be Tom Hicks, but Mr..
Johnson declared he had a mule
named Tom Hicks-so Mrs. Florence
asked what they thought of naming
the baby Harry DuPre and calling
him DuPre. This suited every
body.
This is one of the things done
by the Benevolent association. Isn't
1t just as wonderful and as beautiful
as If fairy god mother had touch
ed the deserted infant with her
magic wand, and transported him
from utter misery into perfect bliss?
And to think everyone who helps
these noble women is taking part in
their good deeds

MAS0NS SET PACE.

AT the meeting of the Grand
Lodge OF Masons at Raleigh, one of
the most significant actions taken
was the providing of $500 to paw
Tor the treatment of needy and
worthy tubercular Masons at the
State Sanatorium at Montrose and
also the appointment of a commit
tee to devise some plan for perman-
entity endowing beds at the institu-
ton,
The funds provided by the State
are utterly inadequate to provide
entirely for the treatment Of orr
tubercular sick, and hence it is neces-
sary that those entering the institu-
ZION pay minimum fee O. $lOO per
day. The usual cost for sanatori,lm
treatment for tuberculosis, equal to
that furnished at Montrose, ranses
from $500 to $500 or even 81 90
day. Thus it will be reodily seen
mat this action on the part of the
Masons is an excellent forword stem
not only from humanitarian bnt
also from a business view point
oome fraternal orders, trade unions
and other organizations build and
MAINTAIN expensive sanatoria them
selves, but in this State it is far
cheaper to divide the expense with
the State.
lhls action on the part of the
Masons is especially commendable
as It doubtless marks the beeinnind
OF such benevolence among Other
1raternal orders, clubs, churches eto
10 the Masons however, belongs tho
credit OF taking the initiative in The
good work. 10
