STATE OWNED WAREHOUSES;.

Texas has done something by de-
claring for emergency warehouses to
be owned by the state.
1t is given out that, while this is
merely an emergency proceeding.
prompted by the condition into which
the European war has placed the cot
ton market, 1t is expected that the
next Texas legislature will enact a
measure providing for permanent state
owned warehouses in which not only
cotton, but other state products can
be stored to await improved market
conditions.
This is the germ of somewhat new
idea, inasmuch as time has come
when a better system OF marketing
must be had.
In our own state, for instance, If
some storage help could be supplied

There was not the slightest evidence
of enthusiasm shown at the late prl-
maries in any part of the state, by any
party. Busy times had something to
do with it in many parts of the state,
but the apathy was as much from gen.
eral Indifference and determination
to vote independently. AS matter
of fact the much sought primary sys-
TEN has not proven what was ex-
pected of it. Neither has the initia-
tory and referendum, nor the recall;
neither will the headless ballot. 1t
may not be said that these fad things
have been entire failures, but they
have brought no results other than
to create confusion, increase the
states expenses hundreds Of thou
sands of dollars and present an ex-
cuse for higher taxes. The more SEN
sible contend that our country had
better get back to simple forms of
government if progressive reform
measures tend only to bankruptcy.
Medicine is no doubt good for a sick
person or a sick state, providing the
medicine improves or cures the pa-
tient. 1t has often been found advan-
tageous, however, to throw that dosed
up by the average quack, political or
otherwise, out. of the window.

JUST WHY Is Ii?

In an exchange we read where La
Junta is shipping 1900 carloads of
cantaloupes this season. Rocky Ford
will perhaps more than double tha..
In another paper we read of the num-
ber of cases of tomatoes canned, and
in still other papers how some GER
tain branch of industry has thrived
locally.
Does anybody know why the same
and much more cannot be said about
Delta? There is no use being foolish
when it comes to telling the truth
Independent likes to boost and can
have much to say about the wonderful
resources of it's locality, but for some
reason many things do not succeed
here as they should.
No part of the world raises better
cantaloupes than are raised tight
here. yet the industry is limited to
local markets and bit of crate ship
ping, mainly to nearby points. Three
years ago a small association of
growers was formed and enough
"cants" planted to grow fifteen to
twenty carloads to be marketed as an
experiment The cantaloupes were
grown. perfectly, but the marketing
was thrown so flat by the people
handling the carload shipments, that
growers got nothing, and the result
was the killing of cantaloupe growing
on a large scale here. In the mean
time Delta farmers still grow the fin
est cantaloupes in the world, but only
on small scale. What they grow, we
understand, they make a profit on.
Explanations were attempted of the
former marketing efforts. The truth
of those statements stand against the
continued cultivation of cantaloupes
in other sections of the state as
great and profitable industry.
No section raises finer tomatoes
and other vegetables; or peaches and
other fruits than we do. We have
much that goes to waste and could
raise in unlimited supply. yet the mar
kets need for such canned products
is put up at other points and profits
reaped therefrom.
Perhaps this will be righted in time.
Certain it is that the crying need
of this section is plans to do such
things at home, and people who may
be able to carry out these plans sue
cessfully.

so well that our acreage was cut
down by the order of that same "out.
side factory" Capitalists, how does
that strike you in the face Of present
prices and demand for sugar? II you
are looking for a field in which to
build sugar factory. why not come
to Delta?
Facing the true situation. Delta
should now have in successful opera
tion a sugar factory, various canning
and drying plants. one or more alfalfa
mills, and the extensive cantaloupe
growing her soil and climate adapt
her for.
It is perhaps true that our people
give too much time to the growing of
the many practical crops they raise
so successfully, and too little time
to both manufacturing and marketing.
There must be some sort OF reason for
the conditions we have mentioned.
Why not dig down beneath the rub

Gasoline at the Poles.

The Amundsen and Scott expedi-
lions were greatly hindered through
losing much of their gasoline loss
that. in fact, had much to do with the
disaster that befell Captain Scott. Mr..
b. T. Brooks of the Mellon Institute
of Industrial Research thinks he
knows what caused the loss. At low
temperatures. he says. ordinary tin
tends to pulverize. At "a degrees be-
low zero it pulverizes quickly and may
pulverize. although more slowly. at q
higher temperature. Now. hard solder
usually contains a large percentage of
tin, and 80, of course. disintegrates in
the same way. Consequently the gas
oline cans are likely to leak at the
soldered seams. Mr.. Brooks suggests
that polar explorers carry their sup
plies of gasoline in containers made
of glass. or of some metal unaffected
by extreme cold.-Youth's Companion.
