SMITH BILL FAVORABLY
RECEIVED IN THE HOUSE

Washington, March, 16.-Repre-
sentative Smith feels greatly encour-
aged over the prospect of securing
the enactment, during the present
session of Congress, of his bill ex-
tending the benefits of the public
land laws to minors over eighteen
years of age.
A canvass of the members Of Con-
gress indicates that the sentiment
is generally favorable TO the amend
ment suggested to the public land
lawst
AS final proof could not be offered
under the proposed law until the
applicant reaches the age of q
years. no valid objection has beer
offered.
Mr.. Smith contends that the en-
actment Of this law would result ii
thousands of young men who ar
anxious to get . home. settling o.
the public lands. who otherwis
would turn their attention TO secuI
ing a living as wage earnsrs in tn
towns and cities. and that It woul
accomplish much toward encouraf
ing young men to enter upon ayr
cultural pursuits.

GREAT SALT LAKE
PRESERVES TIMBERS
tcopyrlght.l

In replacing a railroad trestle re-
Gently burned along the north shore /
of Salt Lake, engineers have just |
found that the piles are still per-
fectly sound after as years Of ser
vice. Looking for the cause, since
these were only of local pine and fir,
they found the timbers were inn
pregnated thruout with salt from
the lake. At another point on the9
lake, 18 inch piles, set % years, are
similarly preserved with salt which
has penetrated to their very center.
Timbers in the Southern Pacific
trestle across Salt Lake, placed in
1902, appear to be as good as on
the day when the piles were driven.
They have been preserved well
above the water line by the salt
dashed on to them by the waves. a
fact apparently anticipated by the
engineers who built the trestles.
The first transcontinental tele-
graph line, built before the railroad,
extended west from Salt Lake City
thru the prosperous mining camps
of Eureka, Austin and Virginia City.
When the railroad was built. the
telegraph line was transferred to
follow its right Of way and the old
poles sawed off at the ground. At

OUTLINES HIS CAMPAIGN
AGAINST EXTRAVACANCE
Governor HaineS Promises, If Reelected, to
Wage Battle for Economy and Efficiency
All Along the Line.

Governor Haines has arranged to
have printed in pamphlet form the
report on taxes and revenues recent
ly prepared by the state tax COM
mission. These pamphlets he pro-
poses to have placed in the hands
of the taxpayers in every county to
enable them to acquaint themselves
with the facts. AS a preface to the
pamphlet Governor Haines in brief
address To the Taxpayers of Ida
no." says;
I submit herewith for your con-
sideration the report Of the state
tax commission on our public finan-
cial condition and the amount and
character of taxes raised by us dur
ins the past year for all purposes of
government. You will find this re-
port worthy of your most careful
study, for it contains much valuable
information never before collected
in this state.
THE facts concerning state and
local taxation contain herein show
clearly that the question of reducing
our public expenditures is problem
to which We must bring our best
business judgment and experience.
The partisan representation of those
who have little if any experience in
the matters Of government but who
for personal advantage promise
freely to inaugurate the most sweep
ing reforms will no longer suffice
The deep study which this admins
tration has given to the question Of
reducing taxes has at least served tC
raise the same above the plane o.
partisan contention and has present
ed for the first time the data upol
which plans for a general reduction
can be based.
AS the next legislature will b
called upon to take drastic actiol
on this important question, our bes
and wisest men should be induce
to accept service therein. If | ar
reelected to the Office of governor
as hope to be, shall expect to as
the legislature to enact remedi;
legislation along the following lines
the result Of which will be a limi
alton of expenditures and a cons
quent lowering of taxes:
L. To provide for a reductic

DDS adopted during the present a

tutions, to the end that no particul

FEW CAUSES OF BUMBLEFooT
Many Gases Result by Bird Jumping
on Some Hard Substance-ProPer
Care of the Wound.

Old turkeys, especially heavy old
toms, sometimes are troubled with
feet that swell, first on the under Size
or ball of the foot, and then, il sum
GENTLY damaged, form pus, and the
swelling extends up between the toes.
and finally the turkey is almost I'M
able to walk Such cases result from
something penetrating the foot,
caused by jumping down on some
hard substance.
In the first case, if anything is left
IN the wound, it should be thorough
ly cleaned out and disinfected, and
when that is done the foot will some
times get well without further atten-
ton. In the second case it is neces-
sary to make an incision, squeeze out
the pus, and thoroughly wash out the
wound with some disinfectant. When
this is done the foot should be bound
up carefully with cloth to keep out
dirt and germs.
The turkey should be confined so
that it cannot exercise on the dam
aged foot very much. In summer 1t
may be put in very small yard
moved onto fresh ground every day to
keep it clean. In winter it should be
put in a pen which is bedded with
clean straw and kept disinfected and
particularly clean.
If the wounds fill with pus again it
must be opened and the pus again re-
moved, and the wound again disin-
fected. 1t is well in this case to paint
the inside of it with silver nitrate. AS
fast as the bandage becomes very
soiled, they should be removed and
fresh ones put on.

COST OF PULLING HEDGES
Edward c.. johnson, of the AgrieuI-
turaI College, Describes Work and
Expense of Operation.

Considerable pulling of hedges has
been done in Leavenworth county
and through the county agent, F. H.
Ross, the following figures on cost
have been obtained from L. c. Clark,
who is doing such work:
Engine six days at $500 per day,
$4,000; coal, $500 pounds at $3.50 per
ton, $4.3S; four laborers, six days at
$3.50 per day, $4,000; one team six
days at $3.50 per day, $500.
This was old hedge with the trees
eight to ten inches in diameter The
stumps had been burned level w1th
the ground SO that digging had to be
done to obtain a place to fasten the
chain. The whole root system of each
stump was pulled out completely,
some OF the upturned roots appearing
TO be from Is TOGO feet long. There
was in all $50 rods of tbs hedge and
the entire cost Of pulling was 1898
which is about A cents per rod.
Conditions for the removal OF the
stumps could scarcely have been more
unfavorable but it seems that the cost
of such work when done ia the right
way. is. very slight compared with the
benefits derived

KANSAS SHOULD GROW MORE OF THIS KIND OF CORN.

which it is to be planted should be OBJ
tanned within radius Of seventy-fiVe
to eighty miles, if possible.
In northeastern Kansas, there is
sufficient good corn of the 1912 and
1913 crops available to supply the To-
cal demand for seed. In a few favored
localities in southeastern Kansas,
considerable corn was produced and
seed from. these localities should be
secured for planting in this portion
of the state if it is available. If not,
seed from Missouri should be OBJ
tanned, that grown directly east and
as near home as possible preferred.
For north-centraI Kansas, consider
able seed of the 1912 crop is avail
able and whenever possible this corn
should be secured. There is probably
enough good seed of old corn in that
portion of the state to plant a large
per cent of the acreage providing all
of it is put on the market for seed.
Corn from east-centFal and eastern
Nebraska and southwestern Iowa
should be the next choice of seed.
The same thing applies to central
Kansas with the exception that 1912
corn from northeastern Kansas should
be preferred to that from more dis
tant sources to the northeast.
| For south-centraI and southern
Kansas, varieties of corn from central
Oklahoma that will be sure to mature
in the comparative shorter season In
| Kansas should be preferable to that
obtained several hundred miles north
or northeast. In bringing corn north
there is always danger of getting
varieties that will not mature. There
is also danger in sending too far
north for seed, in that the corn OBJ
tanned is too early maturing to take
advantage Of the longer growing sea-
son for the locality in which it is in
troduced. Other conditions being
equal, any small, early variety canot
produce as much as variety having
a longer growing period. Nature can
not do as much in ninety days as can
be done in 120 days.
Another thing to be avoided as far
as possible is obtaining seed of varie-
| ties of corn grown in and adapted to
bottom land for planting on thin up
land. Bottom land corn may be supe-
rior in size and quality of ears, but
it is not adapted to upland conditions
and will not, as a rule, produce as
well as upland grown seed of good
vitality and Of a suitable variety.
