which, with the seed, brought
81, 500. He also raised 600
bushels of corn, $50 bushels of
sweet potatoes, two hogs weigh
ing 500 pounds each, kept two
cows and had all the truck from a
garden. He got 81, 10000 cash,
the living for his family and the
feed for his stock.
Mrs Mathis system is very sim
pie. She begins the years work
in September when all land on her
farms is turned with a two-horse
plow and sub-soiled by a sub-Soil
plow with two mules. The plows
are followed by disc harrow af-
ter which the land is compacted
with a roller. Then the field is
sown in crimson clover and hairy
vetch, using 20 pounds of crimson
clover seed and 10 pounds of vetch
seed per acre. In May the clover
is torn to pieces with a disc har-
row and turned under with a two
horse plow. Cowpeas are sown
on the freshly plowed land at the
rate of / II bushels an acre. On
poor land the clay, long vine pea
is sown and the whip-poor-will va
riety on land in fair condition.
The cowpeas are cut up with a
disc harrow in August and the
land turned with a two-horse
plow, set to run from to inches
deep.
In September the land is sowed
with the following seed per acre:
Oats, bushel; crimson clover, IS
pounds; hairy vetch, 10 pounds.
Either the Appler or the red rust
proof variety Of oats is used.
These crops are cut for hay early
the following June, and the hay is
a profitable money crop. AS soon
as the hay is harvested the land
is planted to corn and cowpeas,
or any other crop desired. Grim
son clover and hairy vetch are
again sown on the land in the fall
The following spring the land is
planted to cotton and on upland
will average bale to the acre
Oats, with crimson clover an6
hairy veteh, are sown in the cot
ton rows after the first picking
and the rotation is started over
again. The acreage of oats,
crimson clover and vetch to be
followed by corn and cowpeas is
varied somewhat each year to al
low for the required area of vege-
tables, potatoes, wate-melons and
sorghum. Bur clover is used in
the place Of crimson clover when
found more convenient.
The high returns secured under
Mrs Mathis system are secured
through the growing every winter
Of crimson or bur clover and hairy
vetch on the cotton land and of
raising cowpeas on all the land in
corn. With this system, all land
produces a cash crop and an en-
riching crop every year, and the
winter growing crops prevent the
loss of fertility from teaching that
occurs every winter on most farm
lands in the South.

A Christmas Tragedy
Maybe

When the Christmas Bells are ringing
On the morn that all are glad,
And you hear the children singing
Listen--will your heart be glad?
Will your thoughts be of the season
That has just drawn to a close;
Will you think and think and reason
Why it failed? Alas, who knows?
Well, the season hasn't ended. M
Anyone can tell you how
You can make it rich and splendid

In publishing the list of graduates
from the Nezperce high school, we
omitted the name and picture of Mil

had departed some time ago to join
her mother, who is visiting relatives
in Los Angeles, and it was the pre-
sumption that she could not finish the

however, that she had entered the

she could finish the course there and

The final decision of Italy as to
whether she will enter into this war

nouncement of her purpose is expect
ed with the converting of parliament
Thursday.
The Berlin newspapers published
a news agency version of the Ameri-

ably will be that she is occupied with
her "sacred duties" and is not to be
disturbed from any side.

The Elements on the Job.

The copious rains of the past few
days have certainly added greatly
to the prospect for a bumper CROP
from Nezperce prairie this season.
While there had been plenty OF
moisture for all intents and purposes
this spring, still the past ten months
saw an unusual scarcity of rainfall
and there was not as much water in
the ground as might be desired. 1t
is there now, however, and the ex-
ira large acreage of grain on the
prairie this spring promises a heavy
yield.
During the month of May, 1911,
the government rain gauge at Nez-
perez recorded 4.78 inches of rain
fall; the precipitation covering 10
days of that month; and 1911 saw
about the largest crop ever harvest
GU Oii tlC ~ Gil iC. uC LII ldIu-
fall has not been exceeded since.
Up to this morning, the rainfall
has been 3.21 inches for the present
month-.89 of an inch falling last
Monday, and being the greatest pre-
cipitation for the same length of
time since the local weather station
was established, some seven years
ago.

A week or two ago the MINER re- ferred to the many measures that have been introduced in the legislature along the lines of revising the salaries of county officers. Mir. Mahoney, repre- sentative from this county, appeared to think that this referred to his bill for the segregation of the offices of Recorder and clerk of the boaId of supervisors. This is not so. Our ref erence was to the new bills classifying counties, which carried the emergency clause, when it must be apparent to all that an emergency clause could not affect any person now in office, as the constitution of the state prohibits the increase or curtailment of salaries dur ing the term of office. But on the other hand, we do not for one moment be- lieve that the clerk of the board of supervisors should be the County Re- corder, nor do we believe for one mo- ment that the law now covering that office is constitutional. The entire enactment of the last legislature is void so far as it relates to salaries of county officers. But at the present time nothing can be done to pass a valid salary law covering the terms of the present incumbent, but law segreg- ating the offices of Recorder and clerk of the board of supervisors is a proper one and we commend MT. Mahoney for his effort in that behalf.
