FARMERS MEETING ATDELTAI
EXPERIMENT STATION.

AA&AA
The farmers meeting and demon
stration work of government and
State agricultural experts at the
Delta Experiment Station at
Stoneville, Washington county,
ten miles from Greenville, this
week, proved to be the best at
tended, the most interesting and
profitable meeting of the kind
ever held in the Delta.
During the past few years eff
forts for meeting of planters to
discuss crop Investigation and
rotation, improved cultural meth
DDS, stock raising, ETC., have been
made at intervals with only par
tial success, but the three days
meeting this week was attended
by planters and farmers of intel
ligence from the Tennessee line
on the north, to NatcheZ on the
south and from Columbus on the
east to the Mississippi on the
west. Many of the ablest and
most learned men in the service
of the Department of Agriculture
and the State A. & M. College
were present and learnedly dis
cussed the things the Delta
planter, in this age of progress,
should know, and the planters at
tended the discussions, were in
terested, asked questions and re-
ceived much information of value.
1t was truly interesting to watch
the great plows drawn by en-
gines make a furrow Sc inches
wide and eight inches deep in the
hardest of buckshot soil, showing
what power farming" means, es-
pecially in this great Delta, where
the lands are level and the planta-
tons large.
1t was interesting and valuable
to the planters to be shown by
actual demonstration how to vac
cinate hogs against cholera, with
clear scientific instructions about
the breeding of hogs, cattle and
stock. The audiences were large
and the speakers were at their
best, because they realized that
they were discussing matters of
great concern to a most intelli-
gent and we'll educated people
who had aroused themselves to a
state of lively interest in the i'm
portant matters discussed.
Prof. G. B. Walker, director of
the Delta Experiment Station, de-
serves much praise for the sue
cess OF the meeting, while the
Chamber of Commerce of Green
vile and the press assisted in
arousing interest in the meeting.
If the Delta Experiment Station
had done nothing more than offer
the opportunity for the big farm
ers meeting held there three
days during this week, with the
experiments shown in the cotton
and corn and alfalfa fields, and
hogs and cattle at the station as
interesting object lessons, the
station would have repaid to the
people of West Mississippi the
cost of it's establishment and main.
tenance with interest.
The Delta lands are the most
productive in the world and the
Delta being a strictly agriculture
section the prosperity of all the
people of all professions and al
lines of business is based upon thu
success of agriculture, and thu
weeks work at the Delta Expert
ment Station will result in greater
prosperity to all the people, be
cause it will result in securing
from the rich soil and from othe
advantages enjoyed here in tn
Delta the rich reward Of NOR

soil and attention to plantation

RocKEFELLER FUND EVIL

Amos Pinchot in the course of a
speech in New York City made Wig
orous attack on the Rockefeller
Foundation.
The force" said Mr.. Pinchot, "of
so vast sum as $100,000,000 in the
hands of a small group of gentlemen
is of tremendous power and menace
and is one not only to affect our lives
but those of our children and our
children's children, for believe this
great fund will be used to create a
censorship over American universit-

opinion that might work for the disin-
tergration of the Rockefeller control

self out of the circle in the heavily
endowed eastern universities. He

HAs MADE A GOOD RECORD

Two years ago the members OF Or
ganized labor were largely instru-
mental in securing the election OF
.Tohn A. Davis as councilman, and Mr..
Davis has made record OF which MS
supporters are justly proud and 1t IS
generally conceded that he Will be re-
elected. He has proven himself to be
a faithful, active, efficient and broad
minded public official always en-
deavoring to improve existing condi--
tions. He is receiving the support OF
a large number of Our citizens VINO
were opposed to him in his first cam
paign, having won their confidence
and respect as a public official. The
members of the labor unions OF BOISE
will give him the same undivided sup
port which they gave him two years
ago, as they know he can always be
relied upon as a, true and tried TREND
of labor. Mr. Davis has been most
active member of the council and is
the author of number OF ordinances
and resolutions, which all mark him as
progressive, up-to-date and ever alert
in the interest of the people. Among
his measures can be enumerated those
which provide for the safe storing OF
oil; the safe wiring of buildings; the
putting. of guards in bitches to protect
children; the regulating of signs; fix
ing penalty for dishonest advertis-
ing; for the appointment of police
1inatron; to secure the Boise Barracks
for a park; to motorize the fire de-
partment; for fire station, sewer sys-
TEN, hydrants and electric lights for
South Boise; for regulating jitney bus
service, and other important ordin-
ances. Mr.. Davis should receive a
vote of confidence and endorsement

THE LIVING WAGE

AS we understand it, the objective
of the trade union movement is the
establishment of a living wage, and
while each union legislates for itself
under the trade autonomy doctrine
that prevails in the American Fedora
ton of Labor, we do not understand
that any unions object to any work.
men earning more than the minimum
wage, providing he is compensated in
the same proportion of work as in the
minimum wage. Trade unionism as
we understand it does not hold down
the individual who has greatest ability,
but on the contrary, gives him a
greater opportunity by preventing him
from being dragged down by the less
able and less fortunate.
1t is a fact that cannot be disputed
that many of the best organized trades
have thousands of members receiving
above the union rate, the union rate
practically being a minimum wage or
living wage Surely this is not dead
ening of individual opportunity or a
reduction of the ablest workmen to
the dead level of the lowest.-Shoe

cHILDREN,s WHY"

From the time children reach the
age when they can talk, till the time
arrives for them to be sent to school,
their home and outdoor life, as ex-
pressed in conversation is a perpetual
"Why?" They seek to know the rea-
son for everything and from the grass
at their feet to the glorious sun above
them, in all things which grow and
have any being-in all the phenomena
of nature, their curiosity is being con-
stantly aroused. They earnestly seek
for information as to the why and
wherefore of all creation. At no
period of their lives are they more
earnest in their efforts at observation
and, as their experience gradually
leads to knowledge, their awakening
ability to notice differences and re-
semblances becomes an agent of
marked power in developing their in
tellectual life.-"The Catholic Educa-
tional Review"

whether it will or not, heavily fine

Their declares in effect that every doll
lar OF deposits in Houston banks must
be listed for taxation and that the as
SCISSORS must investigate and learn the
value of household goods in every

prevail can not be desirable place
in which to live or do business. For
this blow to their prosperity Hous-
tons citizens may thank first of all
the land spectators who brought the
matter into court, and next Judge

lature to provide relief is more plain
than ever.

DOOMED TO FAILURE

1t is an encouraging sign of the
times that the bluff labor unions start
ed by employers for the purpose Of
defeating legitimate labor organiza-
lions are disappearing. Such bluff or
CARNATIONS were foredoomed TO fall
ure. The increasing intelligence of
the wage earning class must insure
that result. The proved importance
Of this and other schemes Of union
hating employers in trying to prevent
the organization Of labor gives added
encouragement and should enthuse
the efforts Of organized labor to reach
the 100000 mark which President
Gompers has set as the next mile
stone in the onward march Of labor.

Harry w. Fulton is in the race for
city councilman and his friends are
rallying to his support in all sections
of the city. Mr.. Fulton is one of the
best known labor union men in Boise
and is the man who re-organized the
Boise fire department, being chief en-
gineer under Mayor Pence and Fritch-
man. While acting in the capacity of
chief engineer Mr.. Fulton attended
the meetings of the city council regul-
arly and is thus conversant with the
affairs of the city in hrst-hand man
ner, his experience being of a practi-
cal kind. Mr. Fulton possesses execu-
tive ability in marked degree, is en-
ergetic and tireless worker, and If
given one OF the departments Of the
city would bring it to high state of
efficiency. The Gem Worker takes
pleasure in commencing Mr.. Fulton
to the favorable consideration OF its
readers, confident that If chosen
councilman he will make a faithful,
efficient and conscientious public Of
fetal. Fall into line for Fulton.

Captain w. o. Sawyer, candidate
for city councilman, is one of Bosses
well-known citizens. He was born in
Jonesport, Maine, and went to sea
when youngster and for twelve years
was master of ship. Afterwards
moving to Boston, where he was en-
gagged in the granite and later in the
shipping business. He has been a
resident of Boise for a number of
years and is now the manager of the
Yates estate, which gives him large
business connections and he is very
popular in business circles. Captain
Sawyer has been an employer of labor
to a considerable degree in Boise and
has many friends in the labor unions.
If elected councilman his policy would
be the letting of contracts to local peo-
pie and the employment Of local labor
upon all city work; and he would favor
such policy as would keep some inn
provements constantly in progress,
commensurate with the ability of tax
payers to pay for the same The city
should be as generous an employer of
labor as possible as the prosperity of
the workers means the prosperity Of
all. The captain is a broad-minded,
successful business man, unconnected
with any ring or clique and as council
man could always act upon the theory
of the greatest good to the greatest
number.
