PUBLIC LANDS BEING SETTLED
Twenty Million Acres Entered Under
 Secretary Lanes Administration.

As an answer to the impression which seems to exist that all the pub lie lands of any value have long ago been taken up, Secretary Lane, in an advance statement from his annual report, calls attention to the fact that since March 1, 1913, settlers have made entry on nearly 20,000,000 acres of public lands-an area equal to that of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and New Jersey combined During the same period practically as much more coal and other mineral land of the West has been examined m detail in 40-acre tracts by the Geo logical Survey, and most of it has been thrown open to settlement or pur- chase. Some of these lands, such as those which include workable deposits of phosphate or oil, are still with drawn pending suitable legislation for their disposal or use. Another impor- tant activity in public-land classified ton to which the Secretary calls at tention is the designation of lands for entry as enlarged" or 23O-acre homesteads. Designations under this law approved by him cover 33, 453.- 056 acres.
 The extract from the Secretary's re- port contains series of maps of
 
 twelve public-land States showing in graphic form CD the areas withdrawn from entry in these States between March 1913, and July, 1914, (2) the

MORE DEFINITE PLANNING

There ought to be more definite planning and a more systematic di vision of crops than is usually adopt ed by the farmer
 An estimate, at the beginning of the year, of the probable expense for the year based on past experiences, should be made Then the question as to what crops will brings the great est profits with the least expenditure of money and labor should be settled, taking into consideration of course the question of soil preservation, stock growing, and preparation for the fu- ture.
 If it is found, after making these calculations, that there is not fair chance, under favorable conditions, to make a reasonable profit it is time for a readjustment of plans.
 Soemthing like the following scheme might be carried out on the small farm, making sure that you do not overestimate the possibilities of your land: 12 acres planted in corn, esti- mated yeild, 15 bu. per acre value, at 75 cents per bu. .... Sl35.O0 acres, oats, 15 bu. per acre, value 5400 acres sorghum, tons hay,.. 48.OO acres peas ? tons hay, value 5000 acres peanuts 100 bu, plus hay, fed to hogs and cattle .. F acre sorghum fed green to hogs .......... ........ 1 acre potatoes, 50 bu. banked 37,5O 50 bu. potatoes left in field for 4 acres cotton, 2 bales, value. 100.04
 Total value of money crops$404.50
 There ought to be in addition to- this, at least:-
 2 calves, increase in live stock for year ................ Z5.O0 6 pigs fattened on crops not in- cluded in money crop, weight 900 lbs. value at 6 cents per lb 54.OO

FARMERS SHOULD USE DRILLS
 FOR SOWING SMALL GRAIN

Now that our farmers are sowing more small grain the question of the best method of planting should be given more attention.
 It is fact, fully demonstrated, that it takes about one sixth less of seed when the seed drill is used The seeds are placed at a uniform depth and are more regularly distrib- uted causing better stand and quick CT growth.
 It every farmer would purchase a good grain drill and give as much study and attention to the growing of small grains as he does to other crops the question of raising our feed on the farm would soon be solved.

PRICES OF FUTURES
 GO SLIGHTLY HIGHER
New York Cotton Market Appears to Have Reached Bottom
 Quotations.

New York, Nov. 19.-The action of today's cotton market served to strengthen the impression created in local circles yesterday that the scat tering long interest in December con- tracts had been pretty we'll liquidated and that the decline in prices had been sufficient to shut out hedge selling for the time being. At any rate, offerings were comparatively limited and the market ruled generally steady, with the close steady, net unchanged to points higher.
 Liverpool reported small steady market, with prices to points high er at the hour of the local opening and the start here was steady, 1 point lower to 3 points higher. It very quickly developed that there was very little cotton for sale and prices i'm proved on a scattering investment demand for covering. December con tracts sold at 7.03c, or about Is points above the low level of yesterday and 9 points net higher, while new style contracts sold about to 12 points above yesterdays closing figures. It was very narrow market, however, and subsequent fluctuations were more or less irregular, although the close was within point or two of the best on most positions.

Every farmer ought to be an en- thusiastic advocate of good roads. No one will profit so much by having good roads or loose so much from the effects of bad roads as the man liv- ing on the farm.
The Prescott daily news., 1914-11-23

It is generally conceded that the next legislature will be called on to enact a new road law. If this is to be done it is time the people were getting busy. We ought to know what we want and see that our repre- sentatives give us law that will be satisfactory.
