The question of utilizing waste
servationists the country over, at the
present time. With the increase IN
population and the influx of i'm
migration the question OF providing
an adequate food supply is becoming
prominent. Hitherto when land be-
came too high in price for a man
who wished to follow the pursuit OF
agriculture, the logical and obvious
thing to do was TO go to new place
and take up new land and develop
II. As this new land becomes scarcer,
attention is being turned to utilizing
land. that can not be made as profit
ably productive as the land that is
alreday under cultivation, but with
the proper effort. can be made TO
yield fair return for the labor ex-
pended.
In this country the class of land
that would attract this class of peo-
pie would be the thousands of acres
OF dry land prairie. While this land
does yield very small profit when
used for pasture, the returns. when
compared with those from irrigated
land are so small as TO be almost
negligible.
one way In which some of our To-
raI ,arm.rS ara bapIppiny IN u,iI6za
some OF this land is by raising sor-
ghum crops with which TO fill their
silos. 4 few acres of kaffir or milo
maize when there is any rain at all,
will be sufficient TO furnish quite a
large amount OF silage. Cane can al
so be used in filling silos. although
the silage will he more sour than
corn silage. But just how long
prairie land would produce these
crops is a question. as they are hard
on the soil and not much manure
can be used on dry land. Perhaps
this could be remedied by manuring
I the land and letting IL rest for a year
or so. which would give the soil a
a chance to recuperate. Dry land be-
ing cheap. the loss of its product for
year would not amount to very
much and would be counterbalanced
by the benefit to the soil when it
was again ready TO be used for crop
growing
Sudan grass also might be grown
profitably on dry ianc around the
irrigated farms. Last summer you
will probably remember was exces-
siyely dry. but we watched a ten
4 acre tract OF Sudan grass which had
been sown in June and would no,
have made pasture for two cows up
10 the time OF the August rains
After these rains set in, the grass
grew up and made a fine cutting OF
hay and then grew up again, Per
haps this new crop could be sow
for pasture and the cattle pastur'
ing right on the ground would keel
up the fertility OF the soil.
These are merely suggestions. bu
We have no doubt that some wa,
will be found In the very near futur,
TO make these thousands OF acre
OF raw prairie land produce create
returns than have been possible un
der the old system OF pasturing
few steers on several hundreds o
acres. Land Is increasing in valu
too rapidly TO allow continuation
OF that system.

Congressman Martin Madden, Of Il

He says:
1.-The Republican party looks upon

cense. If a peddler comes into town
and sells goods, he must first go to the
City Hall and secure a license. For
this license he must pay a sum fixed
by the town authorities or he cannot
sell his goods. Why is this precaution
taken? Because the peddler is there
to sell in competition with local mer-
chants who pay rent, pay taxes, main.
tain lights, pay the police, provide fire
protection, employ citizens of the town,
spend their money in the town, paving
the streets and keeping them clean,
while the peddler sells his goods,
leaves the town and takes away his
money with him. When he pays
the license he Is forced to leave some
thing to help to maintain the Govern
ment"

Weeks call him Captain" because
