The past year has demonstrated beyond
doubt that the boil weevil is but an incident
in the agricultural future at this section.
That the weevil has seriously retarded sue
cess in farming operations there can be no
question, but that this section is adpated to
the production Of corn, oats, wheat, rice and
cattle there is now no uncertainty; two sue
cessful crops have been harvested. Not
withstanding the fact that our planters are
inexperienced in the cultivation of such
grain crops, their yeildfor the last two years
has been equal to that Of the leading states
in such products.
Men from the grain producing states
have pronounced our grain crops equal to
those Of the north and west grown on land
worth $50 to $500 per acre.
The adaptability of our lands for the
cultivation of crops with which northern
men are familiar will bring valuable settlers
as soon as the facts are disseminated. Thew
are the crops that have made the west and
which will make this section of the south as
soon as the facts canbe driven home to pro-
spective settlers. It is the dutyof the Press
to advertise the facts, and to at least remove
the impression that now obtains that cotton
is the only product that we can raise -
We can produce the goods. Let the
fact 60 abroad.

In the Middle OF a Bad Fix

The Editor of the Journal must apollo
gize for the shortening Of his department
this week. We are between two fires. The
Editor has opposed the calling of the con-
Stitutional convention and has fought it hard.
but Notwithstanding has been nominated
delegate to it. Our emotion is due to our
inability to decide whether the people did
this a nneasuse Of retaliation against
those who favored it or whether the nonrina-
taon vas due to the conviction that the
nomination would wind up in paper tran
saction- that no convention would ever be
held. However, had we been able to fore
ted such results our course may have BEEN
more discreet.
But whether . convention is held or
not the Editor appreciates tie honor that
has been imposed upon him and promises.
that Il the worst comes to pass and a con-
vention IS held, that he will do his best tn
convince the good people Of Madison that
they have not done SO bad after all.
Being ignorant of the purposes foywh;ch
the convention Is called the Editor .sls to
b excused from giving expressing to those
lofty ideals which have characterized the
ntterances Of other candidates. We trust
that we can further the aims 50 generally
expressed by the candidates.

head of the manual training depart

schools, that an exhibit of work from
his department was shown at the re.
cent Washington state fair, held at
North Yakima, and carried off the first
prize in competition with the best
schools of the state. Expert judges
stated that the exhibit from the Ken
newick schools was far ahead Of any
thing else shown at the fair. -
This is indeed gratifying to Mr..
Green's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. J. N.
Green, 915 Fifth avenue, and to his
many Valley City friends. 1t is also
very gratifying to the State Normal
school, of this place, where Mr.. Green
received his training for his work. He
was graduated with the class of 1913,
and spent one year as principal of the
Overly, N. D., schools. From there he
went to Kennewick for last years
work and has been retained for the
present year. '''
