Besides supplying water Mr..

cent of the choicest fertilizer
that Father Mississippi has beer
able to gather from the Ohio ane
Mississippi valleys. This fer.
tilted water resupplies all tha'
plant life takes from the soil, ane
makes it possible to use the same
land over and over again.. so the
truck farmer need leave ne
ground lie fallow, but may de.
vote himself to crop after crop
dovetailing with disregard, only
taking into account temperature.
This is a decided advantage over
Holland, where the subsoil is
sand and the supply is nearly
pure water.
Irrigation in the West is with
snow water, which brings moth
ing but humidity. That soil
must rest, and must be artificial
ly fortified after a few years.
"Can there be imagined a more
perfect staging by man of ma
lures landmarks? Here in this
mild 365-day-per-year climate, is
a field for scientific and inten-
sive farming such as may be
found nowhere else on earth, in
SO great security. We know
about the sun and it's heat. The
soil is guaranteed-the water is
certain; also its absence when
necessary. All that now is need
ed is, brain Is per cent, industry
rs per cent, and money 10 per
cent-the soil is by nature more
than 40 per cent, and raises
naturally anything that fails in
seed life, or is accidentally blown
on its surface, but for a fortune
in ten years the above prescrip-
ton will do.
However, there may be men
who would like to enjoy the de-
lights Of intensive culture. To
such men there'is offered here a
certainty in five years of a per-
manently founded fortune, and
pleasure untold in growing and
improving on a few acres, which

the slightest tickling of the hoe.
The man with the hoe!'
Who is it that would commisser-
ate and cheaper this best Of ma
freemen?
Given but the hoe and self
respect and a bit of industry here
we have the solution of poverty
and the immediate marking
of the high cost Of living.
Il think that Mr.. j. Franklin
Schell is one of the greatest Of
men. He is the most in
telligent pioneer / have had the
of seeing or reading
about. If the Bible commends
the man who makes two blades
OF grass grow in place of one,
about the man who has
made it possible to lead a people
out of the wilderness Of medi-
ocrity idto the richest of Edens,
a harvest ground where
plenty is assured to all who
have long life and health
and wealth by the independent
method of taking in care a few
acres and giving themselves the
exercise they need to enjoy life
and food?
How many a hacked and run
bookkeeper or clerk there
are who might yet get a joy in
The living if taken by the hand
and shown the way of this Eden!
Back to the soil has never in my
opinion made so great an appeal
as it does in this wonderful Ope-
country. | congratulate
st. Landry and Louisiana on this
new Moses that has appeared
among them and predict great

while bigger gains and more
profit can be secured by feeding
peanuts in this way than any
other, peanuts alone will not put
the hogs in the best shape for
the market, as the flesh will be
soft, and some grain feeding for
a week or ten days is advisable.

HOGS FATTENED ON PEA
NUTS.

Farm and Fireside, the ma
tional farm paper published at
Springfield, Ohio, prints in it's
current issue an interesting arti-
Gle BY J.. i. Cuneo, entitled
Peanut Culture in Oklahoma
showing how Spanish peanuts
can grow in various parts of the
country and used as feed for
hogs. Finishing the hogs for
market or getting them ready
for butchering for home con-
sumption has put the farmers in
Oklahoma and the semi-arid re-
gions Of the Southwest to a Sc
we're test during the past three
years. Owing to dry weather
and hot winds the grain crop
during the past season was near
" a failure in those parts of the
country. Hog-raisers, finding
they could no longer depend on
the grain crop to finish their
pork, found that Spanish pea
nuts met the requirements. Mr..
Cuneo writes in part as follows:
''The peanut is one Of the best
drought-resisting crops that can
be raised, in fact it will stop
growing and wait for rain. The
plants will wilt under the hot
sun Of the day, but will be fresh
and green the next morning. It
Is very productive and will do
well on almost any kind of soil,
but is best adapted to a light
sandy loan having a clay SUBJ
soil.
In the summer of 1911 | had
four acres of peanuts, and, al
though not a drop of rain fell for
forty-fve days this crop con-
tinued to grow, and forty bush
els per acre were harvested. In
1918, on the same kind of land
and with half the cultivation of
corn, / gathered seventy-five
bushels of peanuts and twenty
bushels Of corn per acre.
The most profitable way of
raising peanuts is to plant the
crop, and after the nuts are
fHed and matured cut the hay
and cure like clover, and let the
logs harvest the nuts.
Last year the writer had all
patch of peanuts, a little
ess than an acre. On Septem-
Ter the 18th the vines were cut,
nd six hogs averaging ninety
each were turned in to
aryest the nuts. On Noyem-
er 18th the hogs were again
'eighed, and they showed a
ain Of $50 pounds, equivalent
$58 at the price hogs were :
len selling. They were then /
ken off the peanuts and fed t
afir-corn two weeks and were Q
ady for the market. "

Still Awaiting
 Carranza's s Reply
HIS SILENCE IS REGARDED AS A
 FAVORABLE OMEN
NO IMMEDIATE ACTION
His Agents at Washington Do Not Look For Answer For Two or Three Days-BeIieve chieftain is Giving Proposition Careful Consideration.

Niagara Falls Ont, June 4=Media- tion waited another day for word from General Carranza on constitutional:st participation at the conference here, but none came. The silence was re- garded as a favorable omen, for it was interpreted as meaning that the con- stitutionalists were carefully weighing the advantages of mediation. A feal- ing of confidence was general that they would enter the negotiations.
 There were no conferences today be- tween the mediators and eithr of the delegations. The American commits sioners stayed at their hotel, studying data already furnished them by the Washington government on persons mentioned for the new provisional gov ernment. The Mexican delegates con- ferred among themselves.
 An answer from Carranza-or at least an intimation of it's nature-is expected tomorrow. Should the con Stitutfonalists decide to send dele gates. there will be a delay of a. few them to send their representatives at their convenience, affording time for information by General Carranza.
 In that event, the mediators may de- clare a short recess, attending in the meantime to neglected personal af- fairs. The work of mediation would be renewed as rapidly as possible. and the mediators are confident of mak- ing even faster progress than here tofore when all parties in the contro- versy arc represented Means of com munication for the constitutionalists are even better than those possessed by the Huerta delegates. A direct telegraph line could b set up from here to Durango, Mexico, General Car ranza's headquarters, so that he could be kept constantly informed and fur nish prompt replies to questions as they arise.
