DAIRY WISDOM,

At this time Of the year there
is usually a beginning Of Il short
age In pastures. Start the extra
feed before the COWS shrink in
milk flow.
Grain or soiling crops should
be fed to supplement the short
age in the pasture.
The true dairy COW is easily
affected by mfavorable condi-
tions. 1t pays in hard cash to
keep conditions right.
Do not let the rush Of harvest
work interfere with the regular
ity in the care and milking Of
the dairy herd.
Be sure that the COWS all have
plenty of clean water to drink.
Cut off the water supply and
you cut off the milk supply.

The Portsmouth Soon to Be No More,
washington. Sept. 14.-Another pic
turesque craft of the old navy is to he
scrapped. For a small sum the navy
department recently sold the %sloop-of-
war Portsmouth to a shipbreaker. and
now she will be cut up for tirewood
and her timbers split for the long con-
Per bolts which for decades held hcr
oaken body together.
The history of this ship of bypone
days Is Of especial interest now that
California is celebrating the opening
of the Panama canal. Indeed, there ia
a connection between the past of the
Portsmouth and CALIFORNIA; presence
in the Union.
The Portsmouth was the first naval
vessel to unfurl the American flag at
the Golden Gate. Had she not arrived
when she did it is possible that a Dor.
ton at least Of California would have
been claimed by the British. How
ever, Commodore Sloat was quicker
than his English rival, and in July,
1916, her commander. Captain John b.
Montgomery, took possession of Yerba
Buena, now San Francisco, and there
hoistcd the stars and stripes.
1t was in recognition of this act that
the chamber Of commerce of San Fran.
cisco asked congress three years ago
to fit the old ship for sea and to turn
her over to the state Of California for
a permanent exhibit after she should
head the national fleet in its triumphal
parade through the Panama canal en-
route to the exposition. Congress fail
cd to grant the request. and now the
Portsmouth is doomed to destruction.
The Portsmouth was built at the
yard, Kittery, Me-, in 1894 and
rated as a first class sloop of twenty
guns.

Washington, Sept. 14.-An aerial tor

Bankers and Farmers.

The organized effort of the banks
of Minnesota to cultivate expert pro-
duction on the farms of the state and
encourage study of markets by farm
ers has spread, and the bankers of
the whole country are getting keenly
interested in the farming business.
The banks are spending money for
travelling farm experts, agricultural
libraries, fine stock to be sold to
farmers at cost and on time, and prize
exhibitions of farm products. Many
in the middle West are publicly Offer

number of farmers, agricultural edi-
tors and professors have been invited
to meet with the association. This is
good banking business. Taken by
and large, the farmers of the country
are the best fundamental customers
of the banks, not as borrowers, but
as producers of the raw material that

Canadian and L. s. Shingles.
(Skagit Co, TimeS.)

Republican papers are shedding
tears as big as baseballs about the
number of shingles that are coming
into the United States from Canada.
Those same shingles are selling for
from 20 to 40 cents more per thou
sand in the Eastern market than the
domestic product. Why is this? Be-
cause they have the reputation in the
East for being a better single than
the domestic product. If the coast
manufacturer would send repre-
sentative back East to explain to the
consumers that many car loads Of the
shingles going into the Eastern mar
ket and bearing the brand of some
British Columbia manufacturer were
made in the United States, taken to
British Columbia and branded, and
then sent right back here it might
help some. Some people may think
this idea absurd about American
manufacturers practicing this little
bit of deception on our effete Eastern
brothers. But we can tell you the
names of manufacturers Of shingles
right here in the Skagit valley who
have supplied British Columbia job
bers with many car loads of shingles
to be shipped into the American East
ern market, bearing the British Co.
lumbia brand, but were sawed right
here in the Skagit valley. The buyer
came right into this market and con-
tracted for the goods at the price of
American shingles. and they were
sawed and delivered in all their
beauty except American brands. We
know manufacturers who refused to
fall for any part of that big order
unless they were allowed to use their
own brand, so they got none. And
strange to say some of these manu-
facturers who cut this caper are
standpatters, and persist in believing
that there is no relief for the shingle
industry only through the success of
the Republican party.

Governor Lister has not yet an

for reelection to the governorship of
Washington, but he has said that If
he is a candidate for anything at
next years election 1t will be for re-
election-which is taken by many to
mean that he will be a candidate for
reelection. In view of this rather
indefinite announcement from Gov

already begun specializing upon what
the main issue will be with Governor
Lister If he is a candidate, and some
Of them are saying, in view of the
subject matter of some of his speeches
of the past few months, that he will
make the race on prohibition. We
believe we are perfectly safe in say
ing that Governor Lister will do
nothing of the kind-unless his party
should adopt a prohibition plank.
Governor Lister is so true a Demo-

j. S. LAND FOR POOR
ON EASY PAYMENTS
TWO DEPARTMENTS PLAN SYS.
TEN OF FARM CREDITS FOR
RESIDENTS IN CITIES,

WASHINGTON, July 23.-An in
terdepartmental committee named by
Secretary of the Interior Lane and
Secretary of Labor Wilson is at work
on plan to relieve the unemployed
under which the federal government
would finance workers desiring to
take up farm land.
The plan contemplates system of
farm credits operating through the
department of labor which would en-
able workers in cities to take up agri-
cultural land on government reclama-
ton projects, or public lands, on easy
payment loans. In addition to re-
curing an auxiliary rural credit sys-
TEN under The control of the depart
ment of labor the scheme would ne
cessitate amendments to the reclama-
ton laws and the land laws, liberal
izing the financial arrangements that
may be made with the government by
settlers on federal land.
President Wilson in a message to
the last congress regretted the i'm
possibility of the passage of rural
credits bill at that time, and it has
been generally believed that he will
recommend some action on the sub
ject next winter.
''The proposed plan" says Com
missioner General of immigration
Caminetti would eliminate all over
head charges, as the officers would
who would be employed are already
in the service of one Of the depart
ments cooperating. One of the de-
partments involved would have rep
resentative in most counties of the
United States.
1.-The postoffice department would
certainly have one or more employees
in each county. The departments
would possess exceptional opportuni-
ties-particularly the department Of
agriculture-through their staff and
field officers to examine the quality
of land offered for security, collect
interest and attend to other details"
Mr.. Caminetti suggests that a part
of the immigration fund, consisting
of the head tax collected from immi-
grants, which now amounts to some
$40, 100000, might be used in financ-
ing the unemployment feature of the
rural credits plan.
The committee will meet at inter-
walls this summer, and it is expected
the plan and the proposed legislation
will be completed by the time con-
gress convenes in December.

Predicts Government Railroads Soon.

(Puyallup Valley Tribune.)
There are signs that government
ownership of railroads is to be a rule
of the future; perhaps of a distant
future, but still the signs are unmis-
taxable. The United States is about
to enter upon the building of a line
in Alaska. Canada is preparing to op-
crate 1900 miles of road. In Cali
fornia the proposition is being Sc
riously advanced of purchasing the
Western Pacific. One reason of the
growing determination to have the
government take over the lines is the
continual howl of the railroad man
ayers over their own failures. Roads
are demanding the right to increase
rates, and affirming that ruin can be
averted in no other way, when all the
world knows that the trouble is with
watered stock, and the necessity of
paying dividends on paper that has no
intrinsic value, because it represents
nothing. 1t is fiat property, created
by a motion made and passed by some
board. The fact is not forgotten that
great financiers wrecked and Quilted
the New Haven, that had been-and
under sane management would have
remained-a fine and profitable con-
Germ. Nor the fresher fact that the
grand old Rock Island, a road cross
ing a rich and populous territory, has
been looted of millions by lot of
men who proclaim that the railroads
are being cruelty crowded to the wall,
and shout for help. People have
grown weary of this pretentious clam
or. They figure out that if the pres
ent management cannot render line
productive, when commonsense and
honesty would bring this sure result,
the time is approaching for change.
They do not know exactly how or
when the change is coming, but be-
lieve it is on the way, and are glad
of it.

The action of the Washing

few months ago in turning over the
unoccupied lands arounds it's yards,
stations and rights-of-way to needy
persons for the cultivation of small
garden crops has brought results far
beyond expectations. Deserving fami-
lies have taken up hundreds of acres
of this land and are raising products
which they are now harvesting. They
have cultivated the ground carefully
and have obtained the maximum re-
suits. The agriculturists of the COM
pany have given all possible aid and
officials of the company are more
than pleased. Apparently much pow
