lsFueiss eossssFoSpsseE 10 sosstNa JOURNAL
Portales \. NJ, Aug. IA cream
cry for Portales and Roosevelt county
is an assured fact. A company has
been organized with some Of the
county's most influential farmers and
business men at its head to promote
a cooperative creamery, the stock to|
be divided among the farmers in the
different communities over the
county,
The fact that this section OF the.
state is developing SO fast along dairy
lines has caused the producers to-
look into the creamery business and
the result is that before many weeks
Portales and Roosevelt county can
boast of as up to date creamery as
can be found in any part of the north
ern dairy states
AT this time there seems to be no
question but that an ice factory will
be organized along the same lines as
the creamery but there will be two
separate and distinct companies
Big Fruit Crop.
The Portales valley now is market
ing the largest and best crop of fruit
that has ever been produced here
The peaches moving now are OF the
very best quality that could possibly
be produced in any country There
is an abundance Of all kinds Of small
fruits. The quality is exceptionally
fine.
Not many apples are on the market
yet; it will be about two weeks before
they commence TO move. The canta-
loupe crop is just coming on and the
price, so far is far ahead Of that
realized in any former year.
All kinds Of garden vegetables have
brought good price this year and
the demand is far ahead Of the sup
ply
Talk of Elevator
Most Of the farmers that have
worked pretty steadily at hauling
their grain crop Of last year have al
most finished marketing it, getting
ready for the LARGEST crop that has
ever been produced in the history of
the country There is talk Of a new
grain elevator being built to take care
Of the enormous crop that will be
harvested here this year
Roosevelt county will be represent
ed at the big state fair The farmers
of this part Of the state feel that they
have a natural ADVANTAGE and they,
from all reports, are going to use IT
this year. Roosevelt county will have
by far the best exhibit it has ever had
at the fair.
There is not a single vacant store
building or an office of any kind in
Portales.

by an eastern newspaper. The re-
suit reveals practical unanimity of
feeling in favor of a stronger army
and navy. This question was put to
every representative and senator in
congress: edo you favor an increase
in the army and navy for defense pre-

house 1873 replies were received. Of
these 141 answered Eyes" IL an

THE COST OF WAR.

The money cost of the European
war runs into such large figures that
few persons understand or appreciate
their real meaning. We are told, for
instance, that Great Britain is spend
ing $25,000,000 day to carry her end
of the war. and The New York Sun
endeavors to elucidate the real mean
ing of this expense by means of com
parisons. Tt says that it means the
wiping out of a $7,000,000 vessel like
the Lusitania once every seven hours.
Tt means that the city budget of New
York is equalled in seven and one
half days. 1t means in ten days
sum equal to the total output of all
the automobiles in 1909. Tt means
that the cost of the entire subway
system in New York would be expend-
ed in thirteen days. The big $13,500,-
900 Woolworth building would pay
England IS war bill for only thirteen
hours. 1t means that the entire
wheat crop of the world would pay
it for only a little over three months.
And England, be it remembered, is
paying only one-third the cost of the
war, it being estimated that the to-
tai daily cost is not less than $751;
100000, and is growing larger as 9TH
er nations join in the great struggle.
No wonder that fnanciers are wonder
ing how long European credit can
stand the pace. But when and where
will the strain cause break?
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1915-10-22

no sooner is this change wrought than
the honk of the automobile becomes
familiar to heretofore isolated sec
tions. Long distance trips grow in
favor in proportion to the confidence
in the practicability of getting
through without serious mishap, and
where it was once quite the fashion
among the pessimistic to predict the
bursting of the automobile bubble, the
explosion has been in this view of the
case. The farmers of Polk county
have gone into automobiles, as lis
shown by the fact that they bought
more than a half hundred Fords alone
the past season, and they will eventu-
ally smell gasoline from the tractors
exhaust.
Considering the introduction of
tractors for farm work and the au-
tomobile for travel, it is somewhat
remarkable that horses keep as busy
as usual, and have not declined in
price in the markets of the world.
Breeders of these animals need not
fear that this time-honored industry
is threatened. Old farms require more
ready and thorough cultivation, and
new lands call for new farmers. The
prediction that the automobile and
tractor would have the effect of do
ing away with horses was not well
grounded.

SELF-PRoPELLED MACHINES.

Those persons attending the state
fair last month could not fail to have
noticed the increased number of au-
tomobiles and other self-propelled
gasoline machines. Among the ones
becoming more prominent is the farm
tractor, affording movable power in
field operations, including the use of
plows, cultivators and wagons. Wis
itors to rural places in Polk county
also witness a great awakening to the
modern method of performing farm
work by use of these labor-saving de-
vices. Many of the larger ranches in
various parts of the county are sue
cessfully operating tractors, while
others have them under consideration.
One orchardist who last year paid two
dollars per acre for blowing his sew
enty-five acre tract bought a tractor
this fall and effected a saving of
practically one-half the amount by
the use of a machine that cost him
$400. 1t is agreed by all those who
have given thought to the subject of
intensive agriculture that there is
boom for expension in products
through the use of self-propelled ma
chimes, but farmers look into new
inventions long and carefully before
they proceed to act with the wise as
surance of Davy Crockett.
The motor age is in its infancy. ex-
tensive and interesting as are its
present phases of development, and
with its advancement will come bet
tered condition in many things. Old
roads that have known no real i'm
Drovement for fifty years are being
into splendid pixies. and

EDISON DAY.

Yesterday was observed throughout
the world as Edison day. At the Pan
anna exposition a special celebration
was held and scientists lectured on
Mr.. Edison's wonderful inventions. 1t
was October 81, 1879, when Edison
produced the first commercially prac-
ticable incandescent lamp, and to do
henor to this as well as to his other
achievements the ceremonies were
held. Among these latter inventions
of Mr.. Edison we largely owe the
efficiency of the telephone and tele-
graph, the motion picture camera, the
storage battery, the Edison treatment
of low grade iron ore. and a number
of chemical productions. The princi-
pal demonstration at the exposition
yesterday was his invention for the
recreation of sound. OF all Mr.. Edi-
sons inventions, this new phonograph
is closest to his heart. He evidently
thinks more of that achievement than
of any other. When Secretary Dan
iels visited him the other day with
reference to the work of the naval ad-
visory board, Mr. Edison took Mr..
Daniels up to the laboratory music
room to hear his latest recreation of
grand opera before they got down to
a discussion of submarines and battle
ships.
Although the original inventor of
the so-ealled talking machine. ME
Edison has always had a very poor
opinion of familiar kinds of talking
machines. and it has been his ambi-
ton to produce an instrument which
would re-create sound so perfectly
that the recreation could not be dis
tinguished from the original. To dem
onstrate the fact that he has accom-
plished this. Miss Christine Miller,
the great contralto, appeared at the
Panama-Pacifie exposition during this
week to sing in comparison with Edi-
sons recreation of her voice, and
reports indicate that it was with diff
fieulty that one could distinguish be-
tween the real and the recreation.
And while this demonstration was in
in San Francisco. Dallas peo-
pie. through the efforts of Mr.. Uglow,
we're afforded opportunity 70 listen to
4 demonstration of the remarkable in
rention of Mr.. Edison which re-ere-
ties sound so perfectly. Hun
lreds took advantage of this Oppor-
unity and enjoyed a brief season of
yrand opera.

WE NEED A REAL NAVY.

There is a growing conviction IL
this country that what this natior
most needs in order to be adequately
prepared against attack is a strong
and efficient navy. Few Americans
expect an attack from Europe, but
the sudden outbreak of the European
war and its dreadful consequences
have thoroughly aroused the Ameri
can people to the need of more pro
lection for our coasts and better pre-
paredness on the high seas. In this
connection the feeling is quite general
in this country that we can protect
ourselves from any nation in the
world, or any combination of nations,
if we properly develop the navy; for
the success which England has had
of protecting England and the English
colonies in the present war, through
her navy, has made profound i'm
preston in the United States. We
may not need big army, but we do
need a navy big enough and well
enough equipped and manned, to bring
respect to the American flag every
where and to vouchsafe us from at
tack in the future.
Secretary Daniels has developed a
plan for the expenditure of 1925, ,000,-
600 during the next fiscal year on new
ships. Before the war in Europe, this
program would have been impossible.
Today, it has a united public senti-
ment back of it. Two new dread
naughts are being planned, to cost
$18,000,000 each. The battle cruisers
now being considered are to be faster
than any but the swiftest destroyers.
Their speed, in land terms, is to be
equal to that of an express train,
forty miles an hour. In size they are
to equal the largest dreadnaughts now
building and are to far exceed any
now afoat. They are to carry twelve
l4-inch guns, and the new 16-inch
rifle, the largest naval gun now de-
veloped, may be used. The submarine
is not ito be overlooked, and fotilla
of torpedo boat destroyers and fleet
of aeroplanes are to be added.
3 As yet the program is not fully de-
veloped, but if the newspapers of the
country reflect public opinion, there
will be mighty little opposition in con-
gress to the big navy program. Our
geographical location is fortunate. In
vasion by any European power would
be all but impossible, if we had the
protection of a competent navy, back
ed up with coast defenses. Thus we
do not need to maintain great army.
But navy as big as the biggest and
strong enough to protect our com
merce on the high seas, and our coasts
from attack, we must have. If the
European powers, weakened by the
strain of the European
war, want to continue the big navy
Uncle Sam can stand it
as long as the richest of them. For
the American people at last are fully
awake and they feel that if we are
to maintain our rights and our dig
nifty in the future, we must have a
navy big enough and strong enough
to back up our demands.

OF HERALD
FOR COUNTY FAIR

Phil s. Triplctt. editor of the Wells
Herald, who was here during the ro-
dec has the following TO say anert
the holding of i county fair. in yes-
torday's Herald:
One OF the features
at this rodeo meet that should be
pushed was the agricultural exhibit
mat was installed in the Robinson
building as a side issue to the main
event. While this exhibit OF the
products OF FlkO county was not
large, there being but few who knew
that such an exhibit was to be ar
ranged. the comments on the display
were very favorable and our
ing. Now that the beginning has
been made, this feature should be
pushed, with the rodeo a secondary
matter. There can be no reason WHY
a county fair here should not be
made a great success. There are
many old time residents who do not
km0" what the county is capable of
producing. and there are hundreds in
adjoining states who would be at
tracted here by a county fair, who
could not help be impressed and who
would become permanent residents.
ElkO county is Il domain in itself.
capable of sustaining a population as
great as any IN of many eastern
states. It's possibilities in an agri.
cultural line are known to none. not
even the most observant of our peo-
pie. It's livestock industry is capable
of being expanded a hundred fold,
and its mining have never
been given the consideration that is
due them.
"Elko. already the w~ealthiest county
i'll the state, is only in its infancy,
and a properly conducted county fair
Will do more than anything else to
start her on an era Of settlement and
prosperity second to none on the
coast"
