NOW FOR HARMONY.

II is to be hoped that the decision
OF the Land Board upon the exten-
sion agreement as presented by the
bondholders. will have the result of
quieting the turmoil that has been
rampant over the tract for the past
few weeks. and restore peace and
harmony among the settlers. The
board indicates that they have given
close study TO the matter and
while. like many OF the settlers on
the tract. they do not deem the con-
tract as perfect. they feel that II GER
tainly contains some valuable feat
ures for the good Of the settlers, and
that II will result in great good and
be the making OF greater North
Side tract.
We believe that after little con-
sideration. every settler on the tract
| will coincide with the views OF the
board In this matter. 1t Ia safe "a
say that there is not a settler on the
tract but what will admit that the
extension is the only remedy for our
present condition. anG the only argu.
ment has been toward getting great
er concessions than was outlined IN
the agreement. II was made appar
ent to the Times from the start tha
the limit had been reached by th'
bondholders and developments have
shown that so much strife has beei
engendered by those who woul'
seek something that could not pos
sibly be granted them.
However. now that the question
the agreement is settled, we trus
that by-gones will be forgotten an
that settlers and the bondholders wi
, unite in one grand effort for the W
building OF the tract. In this IN
Times will join most heartily, at tn
same time keeping a watchful eye
the interests OF the settler. and b
ever ready to give credit where cred
is due. With united effort on tn
part OF all the coming year Will wi

Shoshone Ball Team Falls Before
Jerome's SIuggers.

Say, Guys, the way we put the
hooks to that bunch OF pill shooters
from Shoshone was plenty. Ten to
nothing was the way it stood at the
end OF the massacre. We might have
made 1t twenty to nix, but the mer
curry was bubbling over the century
mark, and the bunch of rooters in
the bird cage got tier moneys worth
long before the last spasm.
Big Jim Lewis, Jerome's new pitch
er. was on the slab, and he sure de-
livered the goods. The Bird" AZ
Big Jim is known to the fans, kept
shooting the agate over the corners
OF the rubber so fast the poor boobs
from Shoshone couldn't locate them
at all Nine Shcshoneites whitfield
the atmosphere, and in the knock
line, three was all they got, and there
was a half hours intermission be-
tween each one.
| Although the Bird kept mixing
them nicely, he used his in-shoot
most of the afternoon, and it was al
most unhitable as it hoped over the
inside corner of the plate.
Only in the first frame did Sho-
shone look like rounding the horn;
after that they were perfectly harm
less and didn't give any trouble.
AS against Shoshone's nine boots.
Jerome played a great fielding game,
the Bird making the only mistake in
poor throw to first. Our boys also
ran wild on the sacks, stealing fifteen
times. It's a good thing Tage wasn't
in town, otherwise our jail would be
filled to overfiowing. Our eighth inn
ing batting rally was about as pretty
a bit of bal one sees in the big
leagues, SO those who weren't at the
game Sunday missed treat.
The only thing that marred the
game was the umpiring OF White

Grasses for sheaf exhibits should
be selected when in the best condi-

ground. They should be cured in a
darkened place to avoid bleaching. A
good plan is to hang them in loose
bundles with heads down so that the
straws will be straight and easily ar
ranged in a neat, compact bundle
when fair time comes. Enough shoult

CROP YIELDS AND PRICES.
Increasing Population Creates the
Necessity for Using Cheaper
Food.

Professor G. F. Warren, in charge
OF the department of farm manage
ment and farm crops at the New |
York state college OF agriculture, the
author of Elements of Agriculture"
and Farm Management" is recog-
nized authority in these matters.
Recently a bulletin by Professor
Warren on Crop Yields and Prices
and Our Future Food Supply" was
revived and published Here are a
few telling paragraphs taken from
the bulletin, which throw the search
light on certain important questions:
As our population is becoming
larger we are being forced to use
cheaper kinds OF food. Beef is one
of the most expensive foods, because
so much feed is required in order to
produce pound of it. 1t has been
estimated that a given amount OF
grain will support five times as many
, persons as will the meat grown from
ii.
/ AS population increases, the price
of grain rises faster than does the
price of meat.
The food in the milk that 1t takes
{ TO produce a given amount OF veal
t will support more persons than VIII
/ the veal. The longer the calf is FED
| on milk. the less is the supply of hui
: man food.
e A given amount of feed will pro
e duce much more human food in mill
o than It will in beef. Dairy COWS are
e therefore incearsing about as rapid!
L as population.
e A given amount of grain will pro
: duce many more pounds of pork thai
h Il will of beef For this reason hog
n are increasing in number, while bee
II cattle are decreasing.
Poultry are very efficient users o
food. AS meat rises in price NOR
eggs are used
~ We are feeding animals less an
II less on grain that is good for huma
+ feed. The decreasing number OF bee
r cattle and the tendency to marke
" steers at younger age are an expre
,e sion of this condition.

 While it has been proposed that the eouipment used in the old post office in Bristol be purchased for use here, the inspector rather inclines towards entirely new equipment and will probably insist on modern fix lures in considering the leasing of new quarters.
