BETTER FARMS DEPARTMENT
Republican Pays 81 Each Week for an Idea
on What You, Have Planned to Increase
Your Crop Yield or Make Home More
Beautiful--City Lot or Farm

These ideas on tomato growing
are partly from experience, partly
from observation and partly from a
talk of the leading tomato growers
in Bingham county, Mr.. Crosby, or
McDonaldville.
Some people prefer to plant to-
matoes in dollhouse beds in March,
This is a good plan, but tomatoes
will mature if planted in the garden
along in the middle of April, that
is, if the right kind of seed is used.
They can be sown with a garden
drill. The ground used for tomato
culture must be nutritious and care
fully prepared. All the moisture
must be preserved. 1t is best to
seed Immediately after preparing the
ground.
When there is indication of heavy
the covering should be removed as
soon as the danger is past, as it is
injurious to the small plants to be
covered for any length of time. When
the plants are about two inches high
they should be thinned to a foot
apart; then later on they must be
thinned again, leaving the vines two
feet apart.
Tomatoes require lots of water I'M
til the first ones are about as large
as a base ball; then the watering
should cease. This is one of the
main reasons so few people have ripe
tomatoes-they irrigate them too
long. They will ripen much sooner
if irrigated thoroly until the toma-
toes are as large as stated and then
the watering discontinued.
When the tomatoes are ripe they
are much better if picked and stored
than if left a few days on the vines,
they will keep much better in a box
in a cool place than on the vine, and
also it means a larger amount if the
ripe one are picked as soo as pos
sible.
When it is impossible to cover the
tomatoes against a frost they should
be picked and stored for use. To-
matoes that are turning ripe will
ripen in a box in a dark place almost
as well as they do on the vine.
Another way, as observed at Mr..
Crosky's farm, he picked the toma-
toes and piled them in piles and
covered them with canvas. Every
thing else was frozen to the ground,
but the tomatoes under the can vas
were all right, even up to October
Is. They should not be piled high,
however, but be rather spread out.
To get the best seed, take seeds
from the very ripe tomatoes and put
in a stone jar or bucket; then after
they have fomented stir them good.
Put some water on them, then run
them thru a strairer and they will
be ready to dry. This method re-
moves the slick particles from the
seed, and they will not dry in a
mass if these directions are followed.

John Twigs has a little band of
sheep on the farm and recently
bought a thorobred to go with the
flock.
, M. C. Conklin, who lives on the
Hi Anderson place, has As acres of
wheat that he thinks will yield 1000
bushels. There are Is acres Of it
that he thinks will yield As bushels
to the acre. The ground has been
well fortified. The grain stood about
four and a half to five feet high with
very large neavy heads. Mr.. Conklin
cut it this year with a McCormic
binder that he began using at TT.
Collins, Colorado, IA years ago. He
has always taken good care OF the
binder and protected it from the
weather when it was not in use. It
is still in good condition and scarcely
missed a bundle in the As acres Of
wheat altho some of it was badly
lodged. He has used the binder every
year and has usually cut about 100
acres per season with it. He also
has a Havana press drill that he pur-
chased at the time he did the binder.
1t has been in use ever since and
is still in good condition. This ma
chine drilled in the champion CROP
Of wheat. Mr.. Conklin has a rick
of alfalfa IS feet wide by 115 feet
long. He states his hay crop was
much heavier this year than usual.
He also has a Is acres beet field and
the ground is so perfectly graded
that he waters the row a quarter
Of a mile in length without cross
bitches. Mr.. Conklin has the evil
dence of being a good farmer, all Of
his crops a good stand and heavy
yield. He has IA acres of potatoes,
As acres of wheat, a large Meadow
and SO head of hogs.
Edward Felsted, of Thomas, has
recently graded his yard to a cry
perfect condition and he is sowing
1t to some kind of lawn grass. Mr..
Felsted lives on what he calls Canal
street, that being the local name for
one half mile OF road that is usually
a mud hole. The road supervisor
Of that district probably has it listed
for repairs.
r. e. Conklin, who lives on the
old I. A. Parsons place, at Thomas,
has good crops in every part of the
field. He is the man we spoke of
last spring, in our agricultural edi-
ton, that plowed an alfalfa meadow
with a dull pillow so it would not cut
all the roots. He sowed the field
to wheat and by so doing raised a
double crop, one of alfalfa seed and
one of wheat.
Frank Ala has a dry farm west
OF Rockford and has an is acre field
of oats that he estimates will thresb
about l5 or 16 bushels per acre.
John Bishoff, who lives north Of

so late. He said the irrigating was
all done and he really didn't have
anything to do that morning till
after breakfast. The carpenters had
told us that he usually rose and hur-
ried abroad at the peep Of day, and
after supper he took his shovel and
disappeared in the field till 10
O'Clock. He irrigated the whole
quarter section himself, hauled ma
terials. engineered the haying, and
worked like a dog, but always smil-
ing and pleasant.
A Worthy Ambition
AS we went about over the fields
together, Mr.. Rupe expressed his in
terest and his pride in every tract Of
grain and meadow, the beets and the
stock. He had had no bad luck for
a long time and il he could only pull
the season thru to a good finish he
could cash his stock and crops and
pay off the last of his debts. He had
watched every danger point he could
think Of; the folks had kept well;
the crops had fourished, the stock
had had no disease and he had
bought fire insurance for the new
house as soon as they started to work
on it. If he had neglected anything
he didn't know it, and he was happy
in the thought that he might soon
see the years work completed.

PAN-AMERICANISM.
By DR.. FRANK CRANE.
Copyright. 1879

One act of the national administra-
ton deserves unstinted praise.
It was the invitation to the Central
and South American republics to join
with the United States in finding a So
luton Of the Mexican question.
Whether the solution found, the rec
ognition Of the Carranza party, be the
best or not the fact remains that the
method OF arriving at that conclusion
was craftsmanship with its face to the
future
The kind OF national feeling that
selfshly regards the interests of our
own country only is crammed with
vicious possibilities. 1t means that
mischievous patriotism which is but
national vanity. that racial feeling
which is but pugnacious pride, that
kind Of reasoning which is but blind
prejudice.
Nations can no more get along to-

than individuals can have decent COM

BUSINESS TREATIES
SUBJECT OF REPORT

Advocating a conference between
business men of the United States and
officials of the Department of State of
the United States before more CONNER
cial treaties are made between the
United States and other countries.
Charles H. Sheriff., chairman of the
foreign relations committee of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, has made a report to the ma
tional chamber in which is considered
the business REIMBURSEMENT made nee
essary by the war
The report. in part, is as follows:
This committee realizes that careful
thought upon the world situation is
now the patriotic duty of all of our
citizens. The changed conditions in
international commercial relations
which will undoubtedly obtain at the
close OF the war will give our govern.
ment an opportunity and a responsible
ity perhaps never before paralleled in
our history. 1t is the duty of all loyal
business men to aid the government
bv their advice whenever called upon.
and IL is especial. the duty of this
group of business urgalIi-
cations of our country TO formulate
some recomme ndations looking tow ard
the business readjustmeut which viii
inevitably follow the close of the war.
This fact has been thoroughly realized
by the Chamber of Commerce Of the
United States, and its various commit

Treaties With Neutral States.

ut is peculiarly within the province
of this committee to consider the COM
mercial treaties betwee this country
and not only the warning states, hut
also the neutral ones. because if those
treaties should be recast along un-
businesslike lines harm will have
been done to American foreign trade
from which it Will take years to re-
cover A consensus of the best busi-
ness advice of our country has never
hitherto been sought by our govern
n,ent a the time of its entering into
any commercial treaty. In the light Of
modern events it seems incredible that
this should be fact. but neyert heless.
and unfortunately, il is true. Further
more, until the formation of the Cham
her of Commerce of the United States
there existed no efficient machinery
for collecting and collating such bust
ness advice.
I'VE believe that il is the duty of the
State department to take counsel with
the Chamber Of Commerce of the Unit
ed States whenever the department is
about to negotiate a commercial treaty
with any foreign nation, because there
is no better way for the State Depart
ment to obtain expert advice upon what
the business men of the United States
believe to be necessary to include In
such treaties for the protection and
advantage of American merchants
trading abroad, and because those busi-
ness men have a right to be heard in
i matter SO important to them"
