Tied TO the Wheel

whether true or not. the theory has
been advanced by some Republicans
that the Senatorial candidacy of w. F.
Hite OF Cabell. is move on the part
OF the Governor to defeat A. A. Lilly
one OF the Republican candidates for
Governor. There are some reasons
for believing that TO be the case and
there are other reasons for believing
1t not TO be the case But II true. it
is an interesting development OF the
campaign because IL does indicate. II
true. that Governor Hatfield is more
anxious TO de.-ot Lilly than to be
Senator. by uiose who see i'm MIR.
hitels candidacy "A move OF this kind
1t is said that the move has been en-
gineered for the purpose OF neutraliz-
ing Mr. Hite's part in the gubernator-
ial campaign and securing candidate
who will materially assist in financing
the campaign.
There is one fact established be-
yond a poradventure OF doubt and
that is that Judge Robinson whether a
willing or unwilling victim and
whether of his own violation or not. is
tied to the chariot wheel OF the Gov
ernor. The only organization OF any
consequence working in Judge Rob
inson's behalf is the State organiza-
tion. That makes Robinson Hat
field candidate II nominated and
elected Judge Robinson could not
without being an migrate but feel un-
der obligation TO Governor Hatfield.
He would be more apt to listen to
Governor Hatfield than to Davis Ell
kins. Hence Mr.. Elkins' friends need
entertain no assurance of having any
influence with the Judge.
Furthermore. the veriest novice
ought to be able TO see that Governor
Hatfield would not be for Judge Rob
inson If he thought that the Eldns
friendship would be any more than n
very negligible factor afterward In
other words we are having repeated
the same performance witnessed when
Vernon Johnson was elected Speaker
OF the House. Johnson pretended TO
be friendly TO Elkins but turned n cold
shoulder afterwards One experience
OF that kind ought to have been
enough for Elkins. Randolph Review.

PROPER SELECTION OF

parts OF corn meal and part each OF
wheat bran, middlings. and beef scrap.
One feed OF mash may bo fed at any
time during the day and tho grain fed
for the other two meals. Regulate
tho proportions OF grain and mash SO
that the hen will consume about equal
parts of each. About quart of rain
daily should be fed to every 16 Leg
horn hens, or 70 13 general purpose
hens. such as the Plymouth Rocks.
with an equal weight of mash. This
amount. however, varies. and should
be regulated by the feeder. as the hens
should be eager for each meal. Leg
horns will eat about 90 pounds OF
grain and mash in n year. and Ply
mouth Rocks, or hens of the general
purpose class, about 75 pounds.

to their great surprise one man and

THE Greater Iowa Association"
says Farm and Fireside. "is out for
program calling for tho building OF
1000 miles OF paved roads. at a cost
Of 10000 a mile or $4,000 900 IN all.
Iowa Is roughly 200 BY 300 miles
In size Therefore the most that
could be hoped for would be the
equivalent Of three east and west
roads and FIVE north and south. The
average farm would be 25 miles from
one Of these bouievards. This seems
some distance when the twenty mil
lions are considered"

Making maiden speech in Con.

for a new member; even DisraeIi was
laughed down by the Heuse OF Com

Yet II is easy enough to one who
knows the trick, as Representative
Venable has shown. Taking prepar-
edness for his text, the young Con-
gressman from Mississippi prudently
abstained from flights OF rhetoric and
naval estimates and won the atten-
ton and applause of the House with
a simple dog story-the story OF a
little runt OF dog that was con

All this was not exactly Webster

lican Congressman, including ex-
Speaker Cannon. across to the Demo-
cratic side OF the chamber to CON
gratulate the new member. and today
the whole country knows about his
speech and HIS dog story.
Whether there is anything Of Clay
or Calhoun in the young Representa-
tive remains to be seen. But there is
clearly something of Lincoln in the
man who can fix the country's atten-
ton on him at his first effort with an
apt story. And the test OF oratory in

Diversity of Farm Enterprises

In most cases where studies on the
profits in farming have been made,
particularly in our oldest agricultur-
al districts, such studies indicate that
the most successful farms are those
which have from two TO four major
sources Of income; T. @. they have a
well-balanced and diversified business
In certain instances it may pay bet
ter TO have only one enterprise. but
usually when one crop pays much bet
ter than all others the production of
II increases rapidly and soon the price
falls TO the point where other crops
or products are equally as profitable
Diversified farming is often confused
with farming where there IS little Of
everything and not much OF anything
Either extreme lessons the chances Of
success. When the price Of certain
crops is very low then live stock US
ually becomes desirable. However. If
the returns per animal are poor. cash
crops even az a low price are essen
tial a we'll balanced business In
sures against losses and provides n
much better utilization Of the labor
and equipment.
