Can
Not Last

Seattle. Nov. 30.-The best infor-
nation obtainable from military sour
ces at Washington from experts who
are closely following the situation Is
to the effect that the European war
cannot last many more weeks. While
none Of the countries engaged in
the conflict will admit that this is
true the U. S. military experts pre-
dict that the war will see it's finish
shortly after the first of the New
Year. It cannot, they say, continue
much longer. The great loss of life
coupled with the enormous expense,
these military experts say means on
ly one thing and that is a short
war. Because of this prediction the
best known agricultural authorities
of the country arc united in tho
opinion that thigh" wheat will soon
be a thing of the past and that the
farmer who is in hte hog raising
business will make a most serious
mistake from the standpoint of his
financial profits if he does not push
his business on a more extended scale
than ever. It is undoubtedly true
that many hog raiscrs, carried away
by the high price of corn and wheat
have been sacrificing their stocks,
and selling instead of feeding their
grain. While this has probably been
the best thing to do to date from
now on the reverse will be true and
for that reason farmers are advised
to push their hog raising business
and to hold on to their grain for
feeding purposes. At the present
time cattle and sheep are very scarce
and pork is really the cheapest meat
obtainable. Even pork is high and
packers say it will go still higher
within the next month or two and
will keep high for months to come.
With the opening Of the Panama Ca
nal packers will be able to ship con-
siderable pork to the eastern mar
kct in refrigerator ships which will
naturally make tho demand still
greater.

DRY FARMING Is GOOD
ON THE PAHSlMAROl

The term dry farming" signifies
farming without irrigation, says
Hoard's Dairyman. 1t originated in
Utah, when the land under ditch was
so fully utilized that farmers were
induced to 60 above the ditch on dry
land and dry farm. In this region OF
light rainfall the principles Of culture
to conserve soil moisture had to be
solved. When we consider that three.
fifths of the earth's agricultural land
lies in regions of 20 inches or less
of rainfall and that the other two
fifths is subject to periodic drouth
the significance Of dry farming be-
comes apparent. Dry farming is
good farming. It applies everywhere,
even to the irrigated lands.

By l.. s. BETTY

Montgomery, March 2S.-(Special.) After months of greater political activity on the part of candidates for public office than has been witnessed in Alabama ip. many years, the various contests for state. county and congressional offices are now drawing to close. In another week the democratic voters of the state will he going to the polls to cast their ballot for the candidates of their choice
 For large majority of the candidates, the first primary will definitely determine their chances, for they will be unable ro survive this primary. Those who pass the first primary without ha sing ob- tained a majority, will immediately enter upon the second race, which will be the end. q
 It would hardly be considered in the light of idle speculation to assert that the people of Alabama will welcome the end. They are tired of politics.
 The various contests have been hotly fought. Many of them have been bitter, probably more bitter than any that have taken place in Alabama in number of years. But the end is aearly in sight, and people everywhere in the state will breathe an intense sigh of relief when the final mile post has been pissed.

In announcing myself can didate for the legislature from Jefferson county, subject to the action of the democratic pri- mary on April 6, 1914, I wish to state:
 1. I favor LOCAL OPTION. It is the only logical solution to the liquor question; past conditions have clearly demonstrated to the voters of Jeffer- son county that statewide prohibition is impossible at this time.
 2. The PUBLIC SCHOOLS should be brought up to their highest effic- iency in proportion to the taxpaying power of the respective counties.
 8. I oppose the present LEASE SYSTEM of convicts. We should avoid, as much as possible, convict competition with free labor.
 4. am unalterably opposed to the present FEE SYSTEM; public officials should be given a just compensation for services rendered, but the present exorbitant system should be abol- ished
 B. Every one is in favor of. good roads, but let us not try to ride that political hobby horse into public of flee until we are satisfied that the most equitable plan has been worked out for obtaining the necessary rev enues to improve them.
