GETTING MACHINERY
IN SHAPE

Now is the time for farmers to look
over their machinery, and get it in
shape for the coming seasons work
which will save valuable time later,
advises the Farm Mechanics depart
ment OF the Utah Agricultural Col
lege.
For cleaning out gummed and clog
ged oil holes long slender screw is
far ahead OF nail or wire. A few
turns runs It to the bottom Of the
hole and in with drawing It the
threads bring out the dirt. In re.
moving broken and battered mower
sections 1t is not uncommon to find
a man digging out the rivet leads
with cold chisel and punch. II is
much quicker and easier TO rest the
bar on the anvil or It's substitute the
mower wheel If In the fec aud strike
the back of the knife few taps with
the hammer. The rivets are soft and
the steel knife shears them off.

BUY ONLY FRESH
GARDEN SEED

At present most of the garden seed
used in Utah is imported from the
out side. Seed dealers are often
compelled to hold their seed over
from one year to another, and as n
result, 1t loses in vitality from year
to year till sometimes only a small
part of it will terminate on account
Of age, Those buying garden seed
should insist that they get nothing
but fresh stock.
There is good opportunity in
Utah for some one to produce seeds
that are adapted to the condition of
the state, Irrigation and bright
weather furnish ideal con litions for
seed production. Send to the Utah
Agricultural College Experiment sta

CONTIN ENTAIL
SYMPATHY

President Wilson and Ambassador
Naon of Argentina have been ex.
changing compliments. Mr.. Wilson
said at a luncheon in his honor Civ.
en- by DR.. Naon, that there Is a grow
ing sympathy and understanding be
tween the United States and the 9th.
err nations of this hemisphere. The
Argentine diplomat responded in sim.
liar terms. Let it be hoped that
these fine phrases do represent a
real sentiment of continental unity.
Apparently the reason for the
courtship of South America has been
in the past that our manufacturers
might sell more farm machinery,
steel, and boots and shoes south of
the equator. This Is OF course
laudable ambition. But 1t is not
strange that our southern neighbors
do not warm up very rapidly to any
dollar bill Irritation.
Many Englishmen still think that
painted and war whooping Indians
are yet roaming the prairie not far
from Chicago. Similarly our people
look at South America as country
of revolutions, fever swamps, and
half breeds. Actually the great cit
les of the southern hemisphere are
In the fore front OF the world in their
beauty and convenience. Science,
art, and business enterprise are
achieving great triumphs under the
Southern Cross.
Europe's madness has shown that
The American hostility to kings and
titled orders has been well based.
That antagonism to feudal aristocracy |
mas been shared equally by North and !
South America. 1t Is a principle Of !
that runs through both con
inents alike.
The South American republics may |
rave been turbulent. But for the most |
'art they have lived at peace with
'a.h other. Their culture" has new
n evolved any doctrine of militar,
SIN. Europe's shame should evolve
! new respect for their nearly un-
'roken international harmony. Pc.
itically they are good Americans in i
pirit. 1t is time to stop calling them
lagoes, to cultivate their friendship

INDIAN DIES AT THE
AGE OF 1oe
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1915-04-08
THE DETERMINATION
OF PESTS

The government and the state
pile mi lions on millions in pursui
of the boil weevil gypsy and othe
moths, San Jose and other scales
grassho, per5, beetles, caterpillars
flies, etc. Yet the damage to crops
in this country from insects is plac
ed at $SOO,OOO,OOO annually.
In the long run these enemies OF
the food supply will be fought sue
cessfully only by introducing para
sites. the neutral foes OF these in
sectsI But that requires years for
scientific investigation and expert.
ment.
For some reason or other pests
seem far more numerous than they
we're years ago. The killing off OF
birds Is probably the principal cause.
Yet this may not be the only reason
In these days when so much money
is being spent by government agen-
cies for pest suppression does the
individual farmer feel the RESPONSE
billty for cleaning them off his own
land? Or does he sit back and let
the state and national agricultural
departments do the work for him?
The old time farmer fought pests
with a good deal of diligence. Years
ago a plague of canker worms swept
over the apple growing parts OF the
country. Many people will recall the
care with which farmers in the sec
tons affected used to smear belts of
sticky substances around the base
of their trees to trap the worms.
Thus many orchards were saved, and
after few years the plague sub.
sided. Government agencies need |
all the help the individual land own.
er can give in these efforts.
In sections now afflicted with the
caterpillar and :ertain other insects
oranges and other farmers organic
ations are doing useful work in en-
listing the children to fight them,
Many varieties of pests can be kept
down by destroying their nests. The
individual farmer may say that the
individual bugs that he destroys are
not the same ones that attack his
crops, But If he sets the example
Of fighting the insects wherever pos
sible, it will encourage his neighbors
to take hold and clean them out or
at least hold them down.

RUNNING A MINOR
LEAGUE

The sporting pages of the newspa.
pers are reporting that number of
the minor baseball leagues are hav.
ing financial difficulties, which may
be due to local trade conditions, or
to over extension OF the baseball
business.
Hundreds of minor and so called
bush leagues are now running. The
town that ten years ago was con.
tent with semiprofessonal team
playing Independent games on Satur
day afternoons, now wants a regular
team playing ten or fifteen or more
weeks. The appetite for baseball
grows as 1t Is fed, but It has gone
so far as to be easily overdone.
The problem Of supporting a league
team In moderate sized city means
a lot of work for somebody. Mem
bership in a league is desirable, II
a town has got to the point where It
demands and will support salaried
players. The fans become Interested
In the personality Of the visitors
from the other teams of q league,
where they would care nothing for
the nomads Of Independent teams.
A pennant may be only colored rag,
But the rivalry for this ilimsy tex.
tile fabric stirs the competitive splr.
1t in the bleachers, and means many
dollars TO the management.
The great trouble in running q
league ball team In a moderate sized
town, is the difficulty of reaching any
agreement as to hiring Of players
A salary limit may be lived up to, as
lar as the books of the team may
show. But wealthy fans who desire
a fast player can easily happen
around to his lodgings Saturday night
and tip him off with an extra tenner
or two. The temptation becomes ir,
resistable to hire in some star pitch
er from a bigger league to capture
critical games. So the race be
comes an auction, in which the town
that puts up the most money carries
off the trophy.
Good sportsmanships pays in these
matters. Baseball managers that live
up to their agreements may not nj,
ways capture pennants. But in the
long run they gain the confidence O,

HOW TO PROMOTE
TOWN GROWTH

The Republican announces that 1t
will shortly begin publication of a
series of six feature editorials on the
subject of Town Promotion. The au.
thor Is Edward Kirk Titus, writer
of national reputation, who for the
purpose OF preparing this feature has
interviewed a number of secretaries
and other officials of boards OF trade
in various cities. Thus he has gain
ed their personal experiences In the
actual work OF town promotion.
The views Of several very bright
men who are devoting their lives to
this work will be given and will be
of deep interest to all who desire to
see our home town advance. The
writer of the articles recently pro.
vided us with the series "The High
Cost of Distributing Food Products"
which was read with so much inter
est by the public. This series alone
is worth the subscription price of
our paper for the six weeks in which
1t runs. One editorial will appear
each week In this series.
