THINK BEFORE YOU PLANT.

The editor of The Pleasantville
Press does not profess to be an au-
thority on farming, but to our mind
it would seem that the following of a
few simple rules would result in more
satisfactory results from the stand
point of the tiller of the soil.
/. Produce enough of each article
needed to subsist the family from year
to year and feed the stock without
having to go into the market and
buy those articles at high prices. Let
this be carefully figured out before
planting time and see that provision
is made for quite enough of each ar
ticle of diet.
2. Keep enough hogs, cattle and
poultry to supply all of the meat and
eggs required during the year without
having to buy at the end of the sea-

steadily onward and is the last man
on earth to feel the pinch of want.
His crops continue to grow and thrive
for his table, his friends and his gar
dens furnish him the sustenance of
life, and he feels, as he is, the n
man on all of this earth who is abso-
lutely Independent of all other men
or combinations Of men.
When the country is staggering un-
der the weight of depression, and buy
ing is slow and prices are down, he
still has the satisfaction of knowing
that his own table will be we'll sup
piled while people in cities and towns
may be looking for bread for the next
meal.
We hear many people depricate a
life on the farm because of the hard
work and long hours it entails, but
these same people seem to overlook
the fact that there is no other bust
ness in life which does not require it's
labor and it's toll and it's brain rack
ing and nerve destroying race in COM
petition with others of its kind. And
always before those engaged in COM
mercial pursuits is the dreaded spec
ire of hard times or strangulation at
the hands of a successful competitor.
Young men of today who are COM
fortably settled on the farm, or are
just completing their education pre-
paratory to a life career, should re-
| main right where they are and never
leave the green fields of the country.
The great cities will offer them white
lights, and dissipation, and debauch-
cry, and failure in nine cases out of
ten, and death will find them wishing
to God they had never strayed from
the comforts of the old fireside. But
not so the country. 1t offers them q
life a freedom, and manhood, and
usefulness, with plenty to eat and to
| wear, and health, happiness and a
clear conscience.
Now that the summers work is
| over and the time is at hand when
young men begin to long for the gal
! cites of city life, we suggest that you
spend your idle moments in studying
| the latest and most improved methods
of farming. Thumb over the pages
of your farm journals, and the bull
letins of the agricultural schools, and
| perfect yourself for a winning fight
in extracting greater wealth from the
mother earth, the source from which
comes all wealth springs. Stick to
the farm. 1t is the greatest spot on
earth.

3. Instead of planting the surplus
acreage to the time honored crops
that yield small returns, study the
market reports carefully and select
crops that will produce well on the
particular land in question and yet
bring a high price in the city mark
cts. Then put every available acre
and all possible energy into produc-
ing a large yield from those crops
and sell in the city markets when pri-
ces are at high tide.
A. To avoid wearing out the land
rotate the crops, always selecting
those articles that bring highest pric-
es and yield the largest crops to the
acreage, thus producing the greatest
financial returns.
5. Study the different crops each
season and devise ways and means of
increasing the yield while at the same

"THE LITTLE CAFE AT
THE APOLLO THEATRE.

The charm and attractiveness of
"The Little Cafe" which is conceded
to be the last word in musical COM
edy productions, has emphasized the
fact that the vast majority of amuse-
ment seekers still delight in this style
of entertainment, provided the ingre-
diligently put forth, as they have
been by Messrs. C. M. S. Mcclellan
and Ivan Caryll, the librettist and
composer.
This big successful musical offering
will be the attraction at the Apollo
Theatre this Friday and Saturday
nights and Saturday matinee.
The whole piece is said to be a revel
of fun from start to finish.
Among the popular song hits are
"You Little Cafe Good-Day," "Serve
the Caviar" "The Best Queen of ALL"
"This Gay Paree," and "Thy Mouth is
a Rose"
The production will be the same
that characterized its long run at the

AS The Editor Sees 1t
WHERE NATURE MAKES
LIFE WORTH LIVING.

Speaking of an ideal life, there is
nothing better or more independent
than a life on a well regulated farm
in a prosperous section of the country.
In the cities and towns we are en-
gagged in a constant game of compe-
tition one with another, always con-
I;fronted with the possibility that the
Commercial rise of the other fellow
means our own downfall. But not
so on the farm, where every man is
a life and a producer and a consumer
unto himself.
The farmer raises his grain, and
\his food-stuffs, and his hogs and cat
tie and chickens and eggs, and by his
own efforts alone his table is supplied
the year round and his surplus gives
a sufficiency of those articles not pro-
duced on his own acreage. 1t makes
no material difference to him whether
his neighbor is successful or a failure
for the rapid rise of one does not
necessarily imply the financial disin-
tegration of another.
Hard times and panics may sweep
ver the land, strewing' the path of
life with the corpses of the CONNER
cial wrecks, but the farmer moves

State Treasurer Kay
Returns From 5000
Mile Trip in the Snow

State Treasurer Thomas B. Kay re-
turned to Salem Saturday evening after
5000 mile trip east during which
time he says he was never out of sight
of the snow and he expected to find it
warm in the Willamette valley when he
returned but the snow arrived before he
did Mr.. Kay went from Salem to st.
Paul, Mimi, and while in that state Wis
tied the famous saltwater prison which
he pronounces to be the finest penal in
stitution in the United States if not III
the world. Not only is the structure
one Of the best but the management
and general conditions are far above the
usual run of state institutions.
The prisoners work in mills turning
out binding twine and also several
kinds of farm machinery Last year
the plant manufactured 100000
pounds of binding twine and the man
agement of the prison turned over to
the state a clear profit of $350.000 for
the years work. This sum of $4,000
was left over after all appropriations
had been paid back, and after the up
keep, maintenance, salaries and all 9th
er expenses had been deducted.
About 1000 men are doing time at
saltwater and in the reformatory
which is separate about 700 more are
confined The younger prisoners and
those who have committed minor of
fenses are separated from the older
prisoners and confined in the reform
atory The prisoners are paid 25 cents
to $l.25 for working in the prison
