This Years Corn Crop Fixed Hin

Last year the corn crop was so
very poor in Iowa that one farmer
trained his dog to run through the
field and bark whenever he found an
ear of corn. Trying it again this year
the dog barked himself to death in
twenty minutes.

Better r1arketS.

There is a growing interest among
the people of the South for better
living at less expense, an awaken
ing to the necessity of becoming
acquainted with our neighbors.
Organization for. the better dis
tribution of farm products are tax
ing form. The purpose of these
are to bring producers and consul
sumers closer together, eliminat-
ing the excessive number of mid
die men, give the grower an OPP
portunity to realize more for his
labor and the consumer a better
living for his money.
We have the climate and the
soil. We. can grow vegetables OF
all kinds in seas IN and send them
into the market fresh the whole
year round.
The people here ought to live
the cheapest and best, yet we find
numbers of our poor in the cities
living off red beans and rice with.
out sufficient green vegetables to
form a balanced diet, and at the
same time vegetables spoil in the
fields of our rural districts for the
want of a market. When these
conditions exist something is radi
cally wrong. Let us interest our
selves and study out ways ant
means for something better. l.
will pay.-St. Helena Echo.

Let In The Light.
The Times Picayune.

Colonel Pleasant, we think, made
a great mistake in hesitating to &C
cept Mr.. Parker's challenge to joint
debate of issues which the vast
majority of Louisinians have III
mind. The recent primary settled
nothing, SO far as these issues are
concerned. The personal fortunes
of this, or that, politician are of no
moment to the average voter,
whereas the administration of the
states finances, like the overgrown
pay-rolls, is bound to touch every
pocket, from the Arkansas line to
the Gulf.
The people want to hear what
each of the candidates for the gov
ernorship proposes to do in this
regard. A joint debate is mani
testify the best means of letting i'll
the light. Is Colonel Pleasant re-
solved to break up the various
rings which fatten at the public
crib? If the answer is Yes,
what means would he use to that
end? Mr.. Parker must, of course,
face the same question, and like
wise explain the methods he has
mapped out.
No glitteriug generalities will
serve the turn. Everybody is III
tolerant of rings - in theory, at
least. But, it is all-important tc
make sure that candidates are III
the position to practise what they
preach. Such knowledge is not tc
be acquired at long range. The
people must see the candidates
face to face, and see them together
Just as a jury is confronted will
both litigants.
There is no earthly reason why
this process should not be followed
out in good taste and good temper
Personalities of the too familiar
sort are not wanted; criminatiol
and recrimination would be sheel
waste of breath. But great prob
lens of public policy should b,
handled without gloves, and demo
cracy means fearless criticism. if i
means anything at all. Louisiana
has had a surfeit of the "close cor
poration" idea in her politics; it i
high time to let in the light-an'
the air.

There is money to be made in
raising horses and mules for farm
teams. Those who have pastures
and surplus feed might raise two
or three colts every year and find
them profitable. The mares could
be used for farm work and raise
their colts as a profit. Much will
depend upon the mares and the
sired used.-Farm and Ranch.

Opportunity For The

Henry Ford, the automobile man.
ufacturer, was engineer Ill an cleo
trio light plant in Detroit, fifteen
years ago. Charley Murphy, the
baseball millionaire, was repor-
ter fifteen years ago. L. ID. lnce,
was a comic opera commedlan,
glad to get $1,000 a week. And So
it goes. The list could be strung
out the length of column. There
fore, when you hear a boy or young
man complain that he has no
chance, take him by the arm and
tell him few things. There never
was time III the worlds history
when there were more opportuni-
ties for a young man to push to
the front. There never was a time
when little intelligence aud de-
termination would provide a man
with competence in few years,
This is particularly true i'll the
farming business. The young man
of today who will take hold of a
farm in the country and who will
work intelligentIy for ten years
with that idea always before him,
will not have to work for the re.
manning of his life.-Ex.

Primary Election Law Of Iowa,

The first effort toward securing
state regulation Of primary elections
in Iowa, says Professor F. z. Horack
in an article published by the state
historical society of Iowa, was made
in 1896, when three different bills
were rejected by the twenty-sixth gen.
eral assembly. In 1898 renewed eff.
forts resulted in the adoption of To-
cal optional primary law; and by 1912
this local primary had been adopted
in thirty-six of the ninety-nine coun-
ties of the state by at least one of
the parties
The movement within the general
assembly for q compulsory statewide
primary election law was begun in
January, 1902, when State Senator
J. J. Crossley introduced a measure
known as the 'Crossley BILL This
bill was never even reported to the
senate from the committee to which
II had been promptly referred; while
the house measure, which was
identical with that of the senate, was
lost after the addition of many am
endments and a long and heated de-
bate. Senator Crossley persistently
introduced his statewide primary
election bill at each succeeding ses-
sion of the general assembly until
it was finally passed and approved ON
April 4, 1907.
